David's pov: View attachment 44406 He watched as Onamakritos burn the hand of the rose. Nothing seemed to be happening. The rose said nothing at all that would be helpful and anyone could see that she was not going to give up any information. 'You don't fear pain or death, do you?' Jaden had said. No one was going to get her to talk. They had to be smart and lets face it the shards were anything but that. Carissa and Jaden said something was going on at the citadel. Really it had something to do with the hammer for sure. Carissa and Jaden went of to go do something leaving him be. He had nothing to do but wonder. It looked like he was going to have to do a request. He found the right paper work and filled it out. He sent it out as quickly as possible and it would reach the desk of both Carissa and Jaden. He had sent a request to see one of them, but he sent it to both only because it would be faster. He wondered the halls and reached his privet room walking in shutting the door behind him and sat on the bed. Things had changed and he was not sure it was a good thing. He was not sure what he could do about it but the opportunity would show up at some point he was sure. All he had to do now was wait it out. Sophia's pov: View attachment 44405 Kalak had said something about probably being right about something. 'Jaden is known for his strategies. It's a good thing that Jayce is recovering, otherwise he'd probably fall straight into the trap.' She did not know what to say to this. Demi-gods could be trapped who knew. "Ready as I will ever be"
Olivia's pov: View attachment 44404 'Now by Melitele what other useful observations do you have and hell Dopplers are the least of our problems' Well clearly she could see that. Soon they were surrounded by ghouls, alghouls and rotfiends. There was a chance to fight them off but it was a slim one. Two Witchers were not enough to fight all of these ghouls, alghouls and rotfiends. Next to a man was two dozen graveirs. Soon someone by the name of Tobias showed up. 'If you wish to get out of here to alive, I have a request to make.' She was not sure she trusted this man but if Alastar want to find his way to Kaer she was the only one around that knew the way. Tobias was using threats. She did not seem to have any choice in the manner. 'There are people in my city who are killing my children, take care of them for me and let it be known that Oxenfurt is not a place for man anymore and I shall let you go' This was interesting. The man asked about her but she seemed to zone out. Alastar left while she was zoned out. 'Go ahead, don't be afraid, is there something you'd like to know, girl?' She snaped back to where she was. She had lots of question, but really no time to ask them. "Well", she hesitated. She was not afraid of the man at all but there was something to him. There was nothing saying he would do what he said. "You say that you will let us go if we take care of the people killing your children. I guess we have to trust each other that we will follow though. There is one thing I wish to know, If anything what do you gain from us taking care of the people killing your children. What benefit would you get if any from that if any." Most people wanted something for something, but she could not be sure about him. "I guess I will be going to help the other Witcher."
Jenny's pov: View attachment 44400 She continued on her way towards some building where she knew some magic beings resided. She did not know what answers she would get here, but she was sure she would find something interesting. She would get something by force if she had to, but she rather not. The city of New York was a strange one. A warlock, fairy or demon she had to find. She rather ask question involving the first two then to deal with a demon. Warlock could be expensive, but that would not be a issue in the slightest. With nothing else she might be able to get Valister to help her if things went bad, after all he wanted the same thing as far as she could tell. Brianne might help, but she was unsure of this. She wanted information, but she was unsure if she wanted to work with her. Warlock or fairy she was not sure which she would find at the location, whatever one was there she would work with. Adam's pov: View attachment 44399 After the conversation with his mom he stated his way to school. He made it to school without anything happening, but he was unsure how long that would last now that he was here. Jon was sure to be some issue at some point during the day. He walked to forth period. He was not looking forward to the end of the day. The end of the day was bad and he did not see how today would be any different. Lilly's pov: View attachment 44398 She made her way towards the institute only because that was the only place she could think of to go. It was the one place she would be able to find Brianne and or Alarick. She was not sure what she would do once she got there, but something was sure to go down.
Sophia's pov: View attachment 44396 'Don't ruin the surprise for everyone.' someone had said. Really there was not much to say to the girl. The girl agreed that the shards had some sort of trap most likely. 'They're a bunch of heretics who've got their hands on some powerful technology and allies.' Jayce had said. This was most interesting. There was a wounded Ancient God. Jayce had said not to worry about. They had to consider every possible outcome. 'Nothing appears to be out of the ordinary. Standard transfer, probably to a more secure facility.' "Anyone can make a transfer look standard. This maybe what the shards are trying to do." She might be looking to far into it, but her want to think of it all. Really they had to think of every option. She turned and headed towards the docking bay.
Alice's pov: View attachment 44393 She managed to make it to the other side of the cavern. She made it relief crossed her mind. Wait where was Lumen? She turned around and saw that the was a giant spider on top on Lumen. How did that even happen? Spiders would attack them or they would trigger them somehow. She was going to attack he spider, but for some reason she had no attacking spells and really Garrett had no idea how that happened. Maybe there was something missing or something. No wonder she had been completely useless. She did not have anything that would even hurt a fly. With the confusion of her not having anything that would be helpful here past her looked at Lumen with regret. "I am sorry", she whispered. She stood there with a hopeless look on her face. Rocks began to move around her not knowing what was going on, it just did. She watched as rocks first went towards the spider that Lumen was by then rocks went toward Lumen himself. She had no idea what was going on and only hoped that they would get out of this alive. Lumen. Alice did: Crag on square awake spider is on (4 ap) stoneskin on Lumen (5 ap) 9/10 ap used Kevin's pov: View attachment 44394 With talk with Russel going on more information was told. It looked like he was right about the whole mercenary group, assassin group. Really it was not all that surprising. With Aston not saying anything to him there was not much to do. He just stood there not saying anything mostly, because there was not much to say. They were going to look for some valuable. Then at some point they would enter the tomb and then some idiot would trigger some trap and the next thing they would be doing is running from some giant bolder or something.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 44380 'I managed to find Veceslav, Veera and Aaron but... We never got round to finding you. By the time we had managed to catch a break from the other drama to find you, Dopplers' Were these the same Dropplers that she had come across? "I see, well do not happen again. Next time you better come look for me." There was so many in the city. She never trusted portals. Despite, not having any warning or anything with the portals, she went along with it, because Garrett was so gosh, darn nice. She opened her eyes and knew where she was right away. She found her self in Oxenfurt town square. She looked around and spotted someone that was at the camp of Witchers. She looked at Alastar and took his arm. "It is not safe here lets get going." She pulled him so that he was standing up. (or whatever) "Dropplers are here. We have to get out of Oxenfurt and quick." Derrick was with him, so there was no harm it trusting him, after all Derrick knew how to pick them. The dangers of the city were on her mind. She was just here and got out and now she was here again. Luck was not on her side. Ethan's pov: View attachment 44381 Rest did not come easy, but at some point he drifted off to sleep. He wondered what was going on in the village of Pontarsfork, as he sat there. There was so many things to do and he was not sure where to start. The sword was over and done with and really so were other things. Wilfred Hoover had been right about so many things. The way to find the answers. Sorcerers were the answer. All he had to do was repay him for his help. He hopped that it would be morning soon so he could do something new. Adventure is coming.
I realize that I am to nice for everything. Be nice and it comes back to you, be meen and it comes back too. Is there no winning? :/
Olivia's pov: View attachment 44376 'Hey, now I made it Oxenfurt.' "Did you even look for me?" Looking around it did not even look like he even tried. 'because a lot of sh*t just happened' "You dont say. I ended up in Oxenfurt with three Dopplers trying to kill me, then I end up dealing with them only to end up seeing hundreds of Dopplers in the city. If that was enough after the Dopplers I end up finding ghouls. All the while looking for you. Hoping that you would show up." He had no idea what he put her though. "There was so much death Derrick." Derrick seemed to be not showing any emotion. "You have no idea, what I thought. After fighting Dopplers and ghouls. I thought I lost you. I thought you were dead. After the countless dead bodies, I thought you might be one of them. That I missed saving you. That you might be one of the dead." She was just happy to see him alive. "I am not strong enough to lose you too." She was not sure how the man did not see what he met to her. He was a friend. She remembered seeing him when she was training to be a Witcher. She was not sure what to do. She was just happy to see him alive. Derrick seemed to be not answering her. If he thought that he could avoid her he had another thing coming. She let a small smile cross her face that said I am glad to see you alive. She was not really sure what to do in this situation. Her anger was somewhat gone.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 44375 She still on her horse in the open field. The forest near by. She got closer and closer to the forest. it was the best option to head home. She headed into the forest. Looking around she could tell that someone was through here. She continued on her way. She was now on guard, who ever went though the forest could be still in there. She did not want to run into a another Doppler. That would be her luck too, going through a forest and what do you know a Doppler. She had her weapon in hand ready for what was to come. That was when she herd voices. She was sure now that someone was here. She got off her horse and made her way closer as stealthy as she could. She rounded a corner and spotted him. She was not sure to be angry that he was here or happy he was alive. There were other people here to. She walked into the clearing and look right at Derrick. "What are you doing here, Derrick?" She was not to happy with him at the moment. "Did you forget that you were meet up in Oxenfurt?" She looked at him closely. "I do not know if I should be mad at you for not showing up or happy that you lived through that Oxenfurt death trap." She looked at him for a moment. "I am glad you are ok" she had met it to. There was a slight smile on her face. She herd of a man standing up a girl, but this was a whole another thing. If nothing else it would give Derrick the chance to make it up to her. She looked at everyone else. There was some old faces, Veceslav and Veera amog them. "Where is Aaron? Did he head back to see his sister?" She looked at the new faces and if Derrick was with them they could not be that bad. That said he had a lot to explain.
You should change your name to Relatively Rainbow
Jenny's pov: View attachment 44371 'I don't think the Clave would welcome the interference of a vampire, any vampire' "Vampires have there ways, you just have to find a good one", she said with a smile. 'The Mortal Cup was stolen by one that has access to magic' Warlock, fairy or demon in other words. This gave her somewhere to start. Maybe this was a inside job. That would explain some of what was going on. 'If the person doesn't come forward soon, the Clave will visit wrath upon the Downworlders' That was not going to happen, there would be sooner the demons come and rule the would then that happen. She took the paper and looked at it. It was somewhat odd that Brianne did not ask her what she knew. Another time perhaps. She watched them disappear, ah a barrier rune. She knew it well, you will want to be carful with who you use that on, she thought to herself. If she needed Brianne she knew right where to go. Now was the time to track down some magic users and she had a idea where to start. She headed off to the unknown. Adam's pov: View attachment 44372 The phone went off and he jumped. A worried look crossed his face. No one ever called, like ever. 'Adam you should get going.' "But.." 'No buts, you will be late for school.' He walked out the door and stood by it 'Adam' the phone call was about him? He made his way back to school. What was he going to do, he did not know. Something was up and he was going to find out what. What ever the case was, he need answers. Lilly's pov: View attachment 44374 She stood around with Adam. The lunch was good and it was time for him to go back to school. The phone went off and she picked it up after Adam was gone. "Yes ok, what, Adam, yes." It was time to get going. Some time later she found out about the Mortal Cup. Do not question how or why, but she found out somehow. If anyone was going to know about the Mortal Cup it would be Alarick. She pulled out the phone looking through the contacts. He was not in there. She thought that after all this time the world would be a better place. She guessed not. She had no clue where to look for Alarick, but she would find him.
Jenny's pov: View attachment 44370 She followed Brianne through the city, but did not get any detail on what there was to see. There was such a thing as Google, but that was to much trouble to look through that many pictures. She guessed that would have gave Magick some detail on the city she never seen. It took them a hour to get to the Institute. She thought it would have been faster to get here, but meh. She hoped that it was worth the trip a hour was a long time after all. 'You both probably know the Mortal Cup was stolen.' Was this what it was about? The Mortal Cup? She could net believe this first another vampire wanted to know about the Mortal Cup and now Brianne did. She was sure Brianne knew more about the Mortal Cup then the vampire did. 'You're both welcome to stay here, however you will be barred from leaving your room with a barrier Rune' Branne said. She was not to fond about this idea. She had her own place to stay, so that was no issue. She looked at the Institute, she did not think there would there would be trouble finding a room for her to stay in. "I choose that we will talk here for now." She could think of something down the road. "I do not think the Clave would like it if they found out you were letting people just stay at the Institute. So to keep them off your back, I will do what I can." She looked at Valister, who seemed to have the same idea she did. She wondered what the man was up to. She might find out down the road, but now was the time to focus at the task at hand.
David's pov: View attachment 44368 Jaden said, 'A most prudent course of action.' He stood there and folded his arms. Perhaps things could get done now. He was not surprised that he was the only one to think of closing the door. Now it was time to watch what he did unfold. Then madness happened and it looked like he was going to have to get involved again. That was when the group inside the door seemed to get it together somehow and get her chained to the wall. Well it was about time something happened. 'What are Jayce's plans?' Jaden asked. There was no way there was going to be any answer that would be helpful here. What do you know he was right they did not get anything useful. It then turned into burning a hand. He was not sure this would work, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. Sophia's pov: View attachment 44369 It did not seem that Jayce wanted her help and she was fine with that. There was something about getting some crystal back. She was not paying that much attention. There was something about a Prisoner transfer. Rose, Why would they move her? "Sir this could be a trap, if I was them I would not be moving a prisoner so easily." 'TakeSophia Hamerkop with you.' "Wait what?" She was Surprised that Jayce would want her to go, but what you going to do. "Alright I will go." She turned to Kalak and looked at him. "What do we know about the Shards? What will be at Where they are taking Rose?" This whole thing seemed somewhat rushed, but meh, she would go along with it for now. OOC: I have family coming in this week so I will be unable to post for some time.
Alice's pov: View attachment 44367 There was not much to say. Lumen had said she was not holding him back, but that might be him being nice. The question was why. She could not think of anything that would make him be that way. Maybe she would just find out in time. She smiled at Lumen, but said nothing. Really she was ready to move on from this cave. Lumen said he had good ideas. Meh, her magic never worked the way she wanted it to so really she should have known better. She wanted to get better with her magic but she had no clue how to start. Shyra had said she would help her, but looked back she could see how well that option turned out to be. She then looked over at the countless spiders and waited for Lumen to move, because at this point Garrett had no better plan. Kevin's pov: View attachment 44366 Aston had said that there was more going on then what here than we know. That was nothing new. There was always things that was unknown. Aston said something about history. "The past, a long road that make you who you are, but will not make you what you will be." He then thought back to his past. Was he here because of it? What if something else turned out. The second chance in the life. Not many people get a second chance. He looked over to the group. Kellan seemed to be hiding information. Information that would show its self in due time. Burning Blade that name it sounded like an assassins group. "Sir, Burning Blade it might be an assassin group of some sort", he whispered to Aston. He began looking around. Things did not quite line up. Kill on sight. "Sir, this might be a trap, set up. How did they know we where coming?" he whispered to Aston. He narrowed his eyes and began looking around everywhere. Hand on his wepond.
???'s pov: View attachment 44365 He was not sure why he came to Akari's workshop. What was he hopping for? This told him many things. He was alone in this world. Everything was no different then it was two years ago. He was hoping for more then this. The more things change the more they stay the same. This statement was so true in so many ways. He took one look into the workshop. 'I hope you find what you are looking for Akari.' He turned and hit his tail onto the closed window, making quite a loud sound. So many things I want to say, but not knowing what to say. 'What will you think of next?' He was ready to go. He was unsure what to do now. His life was always been about doing something. He was judged. Was he loved? He did not know. He turned and gave a sad look into the workshop. What will come next? Then he asked himself what do I want? I want people to be happy. I want people to smile. Most of all I want people to be what they want to be and not what is forced onto them. He then sat down on the window seal, thinking of what to do next. Karen's pov: View attachment 44364 She gathered her things ready to train. Really training was always on her mind. I have to get better. Death of my friends is no longer a option. She moved into a more open part of the forest. Over the last two years she has done nothing but train. She pulled out her bow and put an arrow on it and let it fly. The arrow landed right where she thought it would. What was the point of training now? What did she have to gain? Never less she had to continue for them. For the people that she cared for. No more death.
Jenny's pov: View attachment 44362 It looked like Valister Cron was taking the offer from Brianne, some Shadowhunter girl. This was interesting. She would have to find out from everyone. Brianne then said her friend was taken away by his family. She hoped that this family would get the an the help her needed. Then there was that word safe. Safe from who? Safe where? "Nowhere is safe, everywhere has its dangers, you just have to find the safest option for that moment and hope for the best. having someone you call friend can help." She was then told that she could accompany the women back to the institute. This was interesting. This was the best option to find out more information. She watched Valister follow Brianne. She did not have anything better to do so why not. If this is a waste of time so help me. "Alright." She then followed Brianne. Well you wanted adventure looks like you are getting one. Adam's pov: View attachment 44361 After the conversation about Jon he took a set to have some lunch. He sat at home eating lunch with his mom. He wished that this could happen everyday. Mom always seemed so busy. She way always writing in some book and just being odd. As the years went on she seemed more on edge. He always wanted to asked her what was on her mind, but she always brushed past it. Does it have something to do something with my past. Whenever he thought about his past ally he could think of was the strange lights. She wanted him to remember, but after see many people about it he had given up any hope of finding or remembering anything. He looked at the time and sadly he would have to get going soon. Time was never on his side.
Alice's pov: View attachment 44359 She became increasingly worried. She looked a Lumen not sure what to do. She leaned up onto the cave wall, defeat in her eyes. She knew that when ever she tried to use her magic it did not work. She was not sure why she even tried. "Why do you stay with me?" Lumen was so much more then she could ever hope to be. She saw that all she was really doing here was holding Lumen back. "I am just holding you back. Everyone was right about me." She had no skill to help anyone. She could not even think of a way across the cave. She was not sure why Lumen was even asking her for the answers. She did not have any answers. "Everything is a mistake." Everything she would and could do was a mistake. Mistake after mistake she could do nothing with magic. She did not even know how to use it, let alone be helpful with it. She began to wonder if coming here was just another mistake on a long list of mistakes. She felt down and there was nothing she could do. She was not sure how she could ever hope to learn anything here. Kevin's pov: View attachment 44360 He looked over at Aston. He could see so much when he talked to Anthea. There was so much there in him. He smiled at the man as he talked. There was so much to the mans words. He truned to Bob when he said 'Just exploring? Weird way to explore, up by Fogwarden' "Not at all. People go into the forest all the time." 'There has to be something here. Maybe it's a load of treasure or something' "Ah treasure, probably rumors or something. It might just be an old man's tale." 'Also again, did you guys mention a Kellan?' "I did not maybe someone else did." That was when Baldomar brought Kellan over. When some asked for something it was best to figure out why, then to just give the person what they wanted. He then walked away from Bob with nothing more to say. He saw Aston. "Sir, I think we should get going."
Jenny's pov: View attachment 44345 She watched as the man she was watching had a weapon pulled on him. This was not really all that necessary. The women then said that she was Brianne, of the Shadowhunters. This day just keep on getting better. Another person appeared and there was someone hurt by the look of things. Grayson Keller was dealt with hum, this was interesting. The man she was watching then said he was Valister Cron, a simple vampire. What was a vampire doing here. Valister said he was in the area and just happened to stumble upon this. There was more to this then what it appeared to be. She continued to watch them for some time to see what they were up to. Something was up, people always wanted something for something there was nothing in this world that was free. So, what was the deal with this? She would just have to gather more information. Grayson Kellar was no more. Was this Grayson person the killer that has been killing all of the people in the city? She stepped out from where she was so that she could be seen. "Alpha of the Albany pack", she said. "Most interesting that a werewolf is around. Really one should not interfere with a Shadowhaunter." She turned to Brianne. "Is the Grayson Keller responsible for the resent deaths in the city." She then thought some more. "I hope that you find help for your friend that was hurt." She met it too. She did not like to see people hurt for no reason. "I am sure you could find a healer."
Alice's pov: View attachment 44344 She was not really thinking abut moving the whole cave around them. She was just thinking on moving part of it. "Just part of it, just move the parts that need to be moved." She then walked over to a near by wall. She then put her hand on a near by wall trying to make a path from where they were to the other side. "If this does not work and it wakes the spiders run."
Alice's pov: View attachment 44343 Kara said thank you before they headed off, which somewhat surprised her. She was not sure what to say to Kara, so did not say anything. She looked at Lumen and they set off. Lumen and her walked for some time passing several spider nest on the way. She was sure that spiders would show up at some point considering that was all that they have seen. She spotted small spiders as she walked, but this was not what she was talking about. She knew that there was bigger spiders around and sooner or latter she would see them. That was when she could see that there was a large open door on the other side. There was several giant spiders in the way of getting to the door. Lumen then asked her what to do. She was not sure why the man was asking her. "Um, we wash them out." No, that would never work and would take a lot of water. She looked around to see if she could spot any clue to get by. As far as she could see the only way though was the narrow path between the spiders. The likelihood of the spiders noticing them was high if they did that. "We make our own path. I can try and move the cave around us so that we can make our own way to the door", she suggested. Kevin's pov: View attachment 44342 It looked like Bob had a lot to learn about people and saving them. He thought back and he has been saving people for years and never really expected anything in return. Most, people offered food, but never any coin and he thought that this might be due to that most the people he save had no coin. He did not feel the need to answer the question the Bob asked, but he would say something. "We are just exploring that is all." He watched Aston go over to Anthea. Aston had a good heart, like some people from his past. Ason would do good.
