Karen's pov: View attachment 43439 Adelina went and got her some food and brought it to her. She then said it might be cold. "I can go heat it up in a bit. Any food is good food sometimes." After what she had had out on her trip this would taste wonderful cold or not. It would be simple just start it up a fire and heat it up that was all there was to it. Adelina then went on about the hunters not coming back yet and thanked her for the food or something. "How long ago should the hunters have came back?" If it was only 30 minutes or so there was nothing to worry about. Maybe they were just running late, but if they should have been back hours ago then something maybe up. It could be anything from an angry mob to a titian. She hoped that they did not run into a titian. Adelina then said all she was a cook worker. "You are so much more then that. You can talk to animals, you care for the many things and I do not think there is nothing you would not do for someone." Adelina had so much more to offer. She could not see why Adelina did not see that. "Adelina you sell yourself short, do not do that. You are more then just a cook, you are a good friend." Adelina then went on about Issac dyeing. "I should have been here, I should have left sooner. I could have saved him." sadness in her voice. She then grabbed a rag from a counter to clean the blood from the table. She was to be back days ago and because she had stayed out someone had died. She then went to clean the table from the blood from her kill once that was done she put the rag back. She took one pan from the kitchen and put the cold food that Adelina gave her into it.. She walked to a location in the café where the was not anything burn able. She then started a fire in a pit. It should only take a few minutes to heat it up anyways. After that was done she put the fire out and put her food on the plate and ate it and it was good. It was far better then anything she had on the road. She walked into the kitchen and cleaned the pan and plate, putting them away. "Thank you for the food Adelina it was good."
Ethan's pov: View attachment 43432 He stood on the edge of the road and watched a women walk past him right before the first dog attacked him. What was he invisible? Oh that right, he had forgotten that he was wearing his invisibility cloak, how did he forget about the thing? He took off the cloak and that was when the first dog attack him. He was going to put it away for later when another dog came out of nowhere destroying the cloak oh well. He sent this one flying to a near by tree with a rock. He took farther steeps to, but himself on the dirt road. He then looked the farm town not far from where he was standing. He watched at a portal open up and two men come out. For the most part he ignored what was going on. He had to face the fact that no one was going to help him. He was starting to get use the fact and tuned to head in the opposite direction. He then spotted the leftover parts of fluffy. There was glowing orbs one brown and one a mixture of colors he was about to take hold of one when a another dog came out from nowhere. Should he yell for help or what? He did not know what to do. His eyes glowed still throwing a rock at the beast. It was starting to get dark. Will's pov: View attachment 43433 He stood at hill waiting for his water to take hold and reveal something. He was not sure what he would find, but the hill was not here the last time he was here. So something had to make it. Well the last time he was here there was a small village here and now there was nothing, but a field. It was not like a earth mage was going to fall out of the sky. Maybe it could. It was not likely that a earth user would just He was able to reveal enough of arm. He took a closer look at the arm. There was burn marks. So some sort of fire happened here and by the sate of the body it been some time. He need some answers and knew just where to find them he opened a portal hoping the next place was not in the same state as this one. He stepped though the portal it closing behind him.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43431 "Assuming that can be good or bad. your past is what makes you who you are but it not who you will be or are." He had to say he was staring to like Damian despite what had happened the last few minutes. "It stay on you forever, but it some ways I feel like he could be alive. As for how he could be I can not say." Bryce, if he lived would it be any different? Would he have come here? It was sopost to be him that died. He jut let Bryce take the fall. Bryce was the one tat told him to run, but he did not have to follow that. He then threw the paper he was holding at Damian. "They where killed by a dark guild like the one in that story." Newspaper: The newspaper was odd and faded Training guilds and what happens Summer 8 years agoEvery wizard guild has a story today we look at a training guild that we are not sure what happened. We found out of this training guild which we name to withhold the name so it will be referent to number 7. It Seems that this guild sent a large amount of people to Walking Planes. We went there and found that every single person that went died. This guild was well know for its high skilled mages. There was at least 20 people on said mission, authorities were unable to find all bodies but we are sure there are not survivors. Later we found out that number 7 was attacked by a dark guild. The result after all of this is that with the mission and the guild being attack all member died. All 50 people from this guild is presumed dead at this time. The only person uncounted for is the guild master who went missing. For someone to take out a guild of this size it would have had to be a powerful dark guild. Ander: "I figured that Johanna can take care of herself, but with the resent happenings at the guild I am not so sure anymore. I have been questioning if I should be here. I could tell you countless things about magic, but in the end does it matter? What abut you Damian? Every person has a story what is yours?" He was now interested in Damian's past. Sure he traveled, but what else was there? "So what do you want to do about Johanna?"
Ander's pov: View attachment 43430 'Please stop it, I've been healing people for most of my life, I know all about people, what makes you think you do? have you trekked from village to village helping the sick and saving livestock? have you saved lives?' "I spent over 20 years of my life training in magic reading countless books. I traveled for years saving and healing people so, yes a may know a thing or two about healing people or saving lives. I lived it. I seen countless people die. My family killed. The saddest part is I could have save them. I was met to lead them, but they... I did not stop it. There are some people that you can not save, but the few you can but don't is what I remember the most." He pulled out the key around his neck and looked at it then put it back. Damian then asked who was in danger. "I do not know for sure, but it was most random. Mikasa took a women, by the name of Johanna somewhere. While I can't say she is in danger. It seemed forced to me. It could be nothing, but it could be something more." After the guild master just letting cal get way with betraying the guild he would not put it past another guild member to do the same.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43429 He had to say that he was really disappointed with Damian' s answers. He was hoping for a better one at least. He sat in the chair with the old newspaper in his hand. Maybe to brake the curse on him all he had to do was make someone angry enough they would kill him, nah there was no way someone like him would be lucky. Braking the curse was imposable or right now it was. Maybe he would just have to live with it. He was so tired of fighting it at this point he did not know what to do. "Good, good." He was not really caring. He wanted to help people, but there was nothing he could do to help someone that chose to do bad things to themselves. 'No, I don't know what happens to a mage that uses up all their magical energy, I'm a doctor not a wizard' "Damian everyone here is a wizard, sure some have magic so do not, but in the end we all people. To be a doctor you just need to know medicine right? No it not just that. You can know everything about being a doctor, but what good does it do you if you do not know the person? Sure you might be able to help them, but in the end you are not really healing them. It takes just more the a doctor to heal a person. Not everything is simple. Every question has answer you just have to find it. People matter Damian. Know your patient not just the medicine. Anyone can be what they want but not everyone can be what they will. Not everyone can strive to be that one that it more about that person then what they can see. Most of all some people are just broken and no magic or medicine can fix that." He was taking about himself more then anything. Then Damian asked what had happened to Cassandra. "What happened to Cassandra? What happened to Cassandra is what happens to mages that do not hold back some magic. She used to much of her magical energy at one time when we were fighting. I do not know if it has ever happened by a mage that uses all there magic up is said to die. Well that is what the stories say anyways." Then he had the look that said he remembered something. He would just have to trust Damian and hope for the best. "Damian one member is in trouble and I fear for there safety." He would just have to wait to see if he wanted to go or if he should.
Ander's pov: View attachment 43428 He sat in the chair looked at Damian. He was hoping for something more from the man, but whatever. He seemed to be a man of few words. 'I don't usually drink, ever, I uh, just decided to see what it was like' He raised a eye brow. The young person would have to learn at some point it was better now before he went to far down that road. After some time there would be no turning back. Save the man now so he could be better for latter, or something like that. "That is where it starts. You try one thing then another and another and it continues to go on. Where does it stop? Where does it end? You say to yourself that it will only be this one time, but it never is. It is a dangerous road." He was just giving the man some friendly advice. Then Damian said he was new to the guild. This did not surprise him in the slightest. What would it be this time? A person that could not control there magic, a person trying to take the guild down or perhaps it betray the guild in some way. Ever new person that joined the guild tat he had met so far as turned out to be doing something that would not fly if he was back at his own guild. He would just have to keep his guard up. Evanora had let some questionable people in this guild and this man should not be treated any different. The first people that came in first was by far the safest. That said not even the first people where completely for the guild. After Calxiyn betrayed the guild there was no telling what anyone would do and he would just have to keep and eye on everyone. He could not trust anyone with that with Evanora letting just anyone in he was question if this was the safest place. "Tell me Damian, do you know what happens to a mage that uses all there magical energy?" It of course almost never happened, and most mages never really go that far, but from what he could tell it was possible. Then the man wanted to know his name. "Names have power, but it is Ander, Ander Windfire. There a reason for that..." For the most part he was ignored or it should not be surprising that he never saw him.
Will's pov: View attachment 43423 He stood at the open portal thinking back to the cave. There was someone going in, but he should not worry about it to much. There was Yana he thought about telling the man about the crazy person in there, but if he and any sense he would not stay for long. He looked back to the cave once more before steeping though the portal it closing shorty after he steep though. He looked around. He ended up in the middle of some sort of field. This was not the right place at all. He was sure where he wanted to go, so why was he here? He looked in every direction hoping he was off by a little. He kept on looking as far as he could see there was just a open field in every direction. He must have put himself way off then because he wanted to go to the village he grow up in and this place was not it. This time before he opened the portal he thought about where he wanted to go. The portal opened up and he steep though. He found himself in the exact same spot and he closed the portal. Now he was sure he was in the right place, but where was the village? There was nothing but open fields. Something was not right. He continued to walk to he found a rather large hill by a stream. There was something he could find out about digging this up he could possibly find out what happened to his village. So with that he held up his staff and the water moved towards the hill moving the dirt that was around it. This was going to take forever. What he would not give for a earth mage. It would go by faster. All he had to do was move enough to see what was going on. Ethan's pov: View attachment 43422 The forest went on forever. He kept on Walking and walking. He then past a rock that looked like a rock he past hours ago. Well there was noting left to do, but keep on walking and that was that. He did it just for the hope of finding his way out. Then he walked into a clearing. There was what looked to be fire that was put out not to long ago. Well if he kept on walking sooner of later he would find his way out if he kept on walking in a direction. After what seemed to be forever he walked out of the forest. He found a dirt road not to far from the forest. In the distance he could see a women. Finally he saw a person. Then he made his first mistake, he put fluffily down to wave to the person. A Rabid dog came leaping out of the forest over his head. The rabid dog soon took a hold of fluffy and started banging it around like a dog toy. The stuffing flying everywhere. "Leave fluffy alone." He yelled at the dog. The dog soon took its hungery eyes on him. It jumped.. "Stop" His eyes glowing. Soon he lunched a large rock at the dog sending it flying into the air. Then when the dog cm down again he lunched it back up with another rock. The dog was probably dead by now, but he was not aware of it. In memory of fluffy Oct 2- Oct 26 2015 Rip:
Karen's pov: View attachment 43421 "Sorry Adelina I thought I would be back sooner. I know I should have been back days ago. I was out looking for something. Anything that was interesting all I found was a large forest that went on forever." There was the smell of left over lunch still in the café stopping her from talking anymore. "Adelina, you do not happen to have any left over food do you? I cooked on the go, but your food is so much better then what I could get out there." She the looked at the meat on the table. "I brought you a gift, Adelina." Then she realized the blood was still on the table. "Oh sorry about the mess. I will get to that shorty. It nothing compared to the way I look anyways." She was trying to make a joke about how dirty she looked. She could not even thing about her smell. The one that was coming off her. After five days or so she got use to the smell so she stopped smelling anything other then her cooked food days ago. She felt bad for Adelina, but outside there was no plumbing. What was she sopost to do? Out there you just had to deal with what you came across. "Try not to breath to much." After being gone so long she wonder what the people have been up to. "So how are you?" Was anyone hurt while she was gone? "Is anyone hurt?" Having not used her magical healing voice in some time she wondered if she would have to use it. She looked around the empty café. "Everyone is out I am guessing. Where the welcome home party? The cake and the streamers. This will never do." She then let out a laugh. It was nice to be joking around with someone after being gone so long. "Where is everyone?" She was hoping they did not go out and training without her. She was to be back to go out looking with some others, but seeing as she go back late she was sure they were gone by now. She was hoping to go out with them oh well maybe another time. "How is the king doing? I missed everyone it is nice to see you."
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43419 As she walked with Aaron when he went on about his sister. That she was older then him, by four years. She did not think that he looked to be that much younger then she was. "So how old are you?" She asked him more curious then anything. Then Aaron said something that she was not expecting. 'If not that then there is always the fact that there is a guy without a shirt walking around with a pretty girl.' She stared to blush. At first she did not know how to respond. Was Aaron hitting on her? He did just call her pretty and he was indeed shirtless. She thought they might be jealous, but of her? Why? She just thought of herself as average and nothing special. In fact she did not really have anything going for her. Sure she was a Witcher, but that was about it. Keep it cool Olivia. Thinking to herself it is not everyday some guy, a good looking guy, but a guy comes and said you are pretty. She just continued to walk as she thought. Keep it smooth. "You re not bad looking either." Wow Olivia mentally face palming. That was anything, but smooth. Why did she have to open her big mouth? That was pretty stupid. Whelp now she had to say something to recover from that. "Not that you where bad looking before." Oh my god. Why did I have to go and say that? Stupid, Stupid, stupid. She became rather nervous. She wondered if Aaron could tell. If there was anything to go by she could tell and now she would never forgive herself for saying something so stupid. "Um yea, lets go." She continued to walking feeling like a complete idiot. "So what is in the library that is so interesting?" Then she continued to follow Aaron. What could be in a library? There was books and that was about it. She hoped that Aaron was not going to show her some book that would be a let down, well not as big of a one that she just did on herself, but one all the same. Maybe there was a secret basement or perhaps she should just wait until they got there and just let it be a surprise.
Ava's pov: View attachment 43418 She walked the outskirts of Novigrad. She soon found that it was much more trouble then it was worth to destroy Novigrad. There was guilds and people everywhere. Any chance to burn this town down was a death sentence. At one point she could here the sound of screams and someone knocking on a door in the distance. She had thought about checking it out, but there were far to many people and guards to get away. There was also the chance to run into a Witcher and she did not need that. A Dropper killing a Witcher was not unheard of but unlikely. This was something she was not going to take a chance with. While she could fight she really did not want to fight a Witcher. While she wanted to ruin this man's reputation, it was better to be alive then dead. It that fool ever escaped from his icy prison everyone would hate him or so she hoped. That was her goal to ruin everyone life or as many people as she could. She has been doing it for years turning to someone ruin their reputation until the was nothing left of the person then move onto the next person. If the person was alive they did not stay that way for long. A smile on her face as she walked on the outskirts of Novigrad. She did not do it for money she did it because she liked the entertainment that came from putting someone else's reputation down. This time Novigrad was lucky not many towns or place got the mercy of Ava Cross. They should be thanking her, but not in this form. She decided that it would be far more beneficial to destroy the farms and small villages first then move onto the bigger towns and cities. She walked out of the town heading off in a random direction. While in Novigrad she was able to find a map of the area around the town. She picked a small village not to far from Novigrad. Next time you will burn Novigrd, She thought to her self. It was better this way anyways the likely hood of running into a Witcher in a random village was far les likely then in a town.
Sometimes the light is hard to find, but all you have to do is look for it :)
Karen's pov: View attachment 43357 She had left Kaynta days ago. She was unsure if it was four days or five. It could have been more for all she knew. She had lost count after the third day. When she left Kaynta she had he arrow quiver full to the brim. All she had took with her was her weapons her 3d maneuver gears and some thing to start a fire. She also had something to make any water she found on her trip drink-able. The drinkable container she had was all but on its last use. She had left Kaynta with enough supplies to last a week or so. She could eat and drink on the go. She was by no means as good as a cook as Adelina, but she was able to get by so far. She could sleep in the trees just fine. She was in a forest in a unknown location. Her little trip to this forest was somewhat not at all that interesting in any way. She had gone off to find a destroyed town or anything. She just ended up finding nothing. The one thing that was for sure was there was nothing in this direction. Well that was if you counted a forest as nothing. There was no town no titans nothing but endless trees. She looked at her arrow quiver the supply of arrows was getting low. She continued to walk in the forest to she came to some sort of winding river. She looked at her reflection. Her face was smudged with dirt and mud. Her cloths clothes were all different colors from the days of wearing them. Her blue top looked a darker blue. The gold rim looked brown. She then looked to her hair. Her once blond hair was now a brown color and was tangled and just a mess. In short she looked bad. She took a look at her supplies. Her matches and water tablets were all but gone. She guessed she should head back to Kaynta. She could not stay out there forever. She came across some animal running in the woods. Taking out she bow she killed it. She then cut it up and carried it with her. She made her way to kaynta a tree she knew all to well not far off. She made her way to the tree see a man with a pointy hat leaving. She made her up the stairs. The café was oddly empty. "Adelina" She called. "Are you here?" She then put her kill on a table. A little blood getting over the newly cleaned surface. Oh well Adelina was sure to forgive her. She wonder if she would recognize her after all she looked like a mess. She had never seen the café so empty before, perhaps everyone was out.
Guild Hall View attachment 43354 Ander's pov: He was getting rather bored. He sent out a letter to every rper to come talk to him so you could do something other then just sit there. After bugging and pleading and bribing some person came by. He was waiting for Cassandra to say something maybe she fell asleep or died. Then he let the thought pass, because he could see her breathing. He stood up and pick up the paper from the bed he had put there before. He was sure that Cassandra was not going to read it anyways. He then made his way back to the chair that was in the corner and took a seat again. Maybe something interesting would happen soon. That was unlikely, but he could sure hope. That was all he had. Hope was a odd thing in a way. He had hoped for the curse that was on him to be gone by now. He hoped for a friend, but did not have one. In some ways hope was pointless and in other that was all people had. It was all he could say he had left. Soon a person stood by the door before he entered. He smelled of shame and alcohol and maybe something else that he could not pick up. He felt like he was going to throw up. He could feel it coming. He had to fight with feeling to just throw up all over everything. After awhile he was able to fight the feeling off. He was not sure how long he could, but he would work with it for the time being. Then the man said his name was Damian. Then Damian asked if something wrong said he was a healer. "I think that you need more help then I do. Do you know how bad Alcohol is for you?" He was confused by this man being here. "There is nothing you can do for Cassandra. If there was something to do I would have already did it." Why was Damian here other then the fact Garrett asked him to come? "So what brings you here? If you are looking for the showers they are down the hall and to the left." He was half joking and half being serous to Damian. A healer was a odd thing in a way. There were few in the guild. There was one thing he could say though. "You are new to the guild?" He said it as more of a fact then a question.
Olivia's pov: View attachment 43353 Aaron did not see spending time with her as wasting time. Well Maybe that was a good thing Maybe not Who knew. What was with this Witcher? The putting others before himself was a nice thing for a Witcher. Something Aaron only did as far as she knew. The other Witchers were all about money, Aaron was in a way, but it was not on the top of his list and he just helped to help. Novigrad was a four day trip so Aaron was just putting things off. "Novigrad is a four day trip it seems counter productive to come back here. I do enjoy the company though. I never ready had anyone around that long." Aaron was odd he just let her ask questions without really asking any in return. Well she did not have to explane her family or when she came from yet. Then Aaron said something about his sister. "So is your sister younger or older?" (garrett not remembering if it been said or not) As a Witcher she knew how hard it was to come by money. "A job that is paying is not easy to find, lucky that Witchers are know for there skills. That said you just can not go around doing things for other without payment." That was when they arrived at a building. The Witcher building was rather interesting. The court yard had a fountain in the center and several people stood by. A few people stood by there eyes just staring at her. A few gave odd looks in there direction. She wondered what they thought. There was so many of them she did not know how she missed this place before. Maybe in was because they had to take so many turns to get here and was not in a place one would think, but whatever the case they were here now. That was when Aaron asked her if she would like him to show her around or to look around herself. Well Aaron knew more about this town then she did so it would be better if he showed her. "I would love for to show me around Aaron." She then looked over to the group of people once more. "What do you think they are thinking about?"
Griffin's pov: View attachment 43347 The king came over and told them to stop talking. That it was not getting them anywhere. This was not true everything had a reason or something. What better way to find out about fae then to ask question about them. They were similar to skin-walkers in a way. Some could change just like he could. Then the king said that 'Few of us can fly and we are far from free.' Not free? that few could turn to a bird and fly. Maybe he was unique in that way. He could turn and fly away, but he preferred to keep what he could turn into a secret. To say in the shadows and turn if he ever had to. He walked to his staff on the ground picked it up and walked to a near by tree and watched the training. Lately it seemed that being in a mask was as much of a curse them being without the blue outfit. He looked over Akari she had some sort of cloak. It should bend the light around you to an extent so that effectively you're invisible. He was question the usefulness of this invention. Sure it would help with the titans from seeing you, but what about the other senses? The titans probably had a strong sence of smell and even if they did not surely the titans would be able to smell you regardless. Maybe if you had that cloak on and some sort of smell away thing together it would be better for fighting the titans. Then he turned to start to watch Tessa first and what would happen. She put on the clock and disappeared. He did not know where she was, but then he closed is eyes. He could hear her move and first, but then lost her after that. He opened his eyes looing to the spot her could hear her from last. It was off from were Zack was looking, but he was sure she moved since then. If he turned to one of his animals could probably find her rather fast. That would involve revealing what he could turn into so he put the idea aside. Then a bit off from where he was looking he could see floating hair. So he was right that she move. One could not just use one sense, but all of them. Why was he doing this? It did not really matter. He was probably better off throwing himself to the first titan he saw.
Will's pov: View attachment 43346 There was not anything else he could do. He was beginning to think that this was turning into a big waste of time. What had happened to the great mages. If these mages were anything to go by then the mages were far more lost then he first thought. He would have to find out what had happened to the great mages, his master. They would never let the mages go into this sort of thing. So then what happened to them? There was so many questions, but no way to find the answers, not right now anyways. These mages were a said excuse for a mage. Apparently they let any anyone run around and use magic however they wanted to. There was not any rules, no leader and no one to say that was wrong. It was clear that something had happened since he was sent of to this cave too check it out. With Teriana opening a portal there was not much to do. She would leave and there was not anything he could do to stop it. "Enjoy yourself." he said to Teriana. Maybe one day she would find the Council of mages. Then Yana said she was helping the child. What type of medicine did this women think she find in the cave? Most if not all of the mushrooms here were poisonous. There was on type of mushroom that was said to grow here that could cure just about anything. That said it was almost impossible to tell the difference between this mushroom and a poisonous one. These magical mushroom were all but picked from this cave and very few were left. Pick the right one you are cured, but pick the wrong one and you got really sick or died. Hopefully Yana would pick the wrong one and eat it and drop dead. That was probably hoping for to much though. With Yana telling him to go it looked like that what he should do. Before he went he looked at the girl. She was so young so unknown to the world and so unfortunate to have Yana as a teacher. He hoped that perhaps that this girl would find a better teacher soon and with that he walked out of the cave. He wished he had the legal power to bring Yana in, he did not s there was nothing he could do unless she attacked him. When he was out of the cave he opened a portal and steeped though....

Shorty after the fire the titians came. having been practicing for years with her Swords and bow and arrows she was able to fight the off for a time, but they keep on coming. The town elf told her to leave which she did. Years went by and she traveled from place to place helping were she could. People that knew her came to know her from her magical healing voice.

Griffin's pov: View attachment 43340 Akari was different then he was. She was better in every way. He could just leave and they would be fine. He was just some bum living in town with nothing to do. He wanted a reason why he should be here. Being a fae did not bother Akari at all. Why? She not made fun of like he was. He was made fun of because of his appearance. He had to hid it. Gone were the days of waking around as a person. No one thinks that. "Yea they do. They make me feel like a plastic bag, just blowing in the wind and just another peace of garbage that can thrown out. I have never met a fae before." He always thought that they were treated like him. Maybe find something that they shared. He wanted to help people, but why try when Akari could do it without being judged. She was free of the shame. 'Don't ever make it sound like we're anything less than we are.' Akari said. So did she think he was a fae? He never said that fae were. "Fae are great they can turn and soar flying though the wind being free." 'They hide behind others, but you hide behind that mask of yours.' His grip on his staff tightened. That what people always wanted to see his face. Why hide it? "I hide myself to protect others. People normally figure out I am different. Those that do..." he voice trailed off. They died. The ugly got them. "It not the only thing I hide." He changed name to hide his fate so know one could pick him out by his true name. "They is a reason why all the doors are closed it so you can open up one and it will lead to your goal. I have tried for years, but you can do it. Maybe I am just a waste of space not original, can be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds you could see a perfect world that you can shape." Maybe he was better off feeding himself to the titian. He spent years looking for someone to call a friend. He could not start again. Not even a fae wanted him around. What hope was there for him if not even a fae wanted him around. He let his staff fall to the ground. "Do what you want." After this could leave.
Griffin's pov: View attachment 43339 Akari said that she did not have a clue to who made the 3d Maneuver gear. That was interesting. One such as Akari one would think she would know. That said someone had to make them at one point right. It was not like it dropped out of the sky or came in a current from that waves from the sea. Who would know if it was not Akari? Maybe it was something that they always had and anything to do with how they got it or how or by who is was made by was lost over time. He was unsure about the record keeping so anything was possible. Then Akari went on about fae. He really wanted to know about them. She went on about how they had pointy ears and as even as animals most seem to keep some resemblance to their regular appearance. Did that mean that when fae was born they do not have a choice? Everything was coming back to what he was. His eyes were always yellow always the shape if a cat's. "Do fae choice their animal or are they born into it? With something like that it would seem that the do not have a choice in what animal they turn into." Then Akari did something that he did not foresee, she turned into a wolf form. He was shocked. "You are a fae." he said with surprise in his voice. "That does not make sense. You seem far to happy and carefree to be a fae. People judge fae that can turn. Do people ever judge you? Treat you like you are less then you are? That you can never be what other people are? Make you feel like you are less then them? I have seen it and it is really a sad thing. The fae and everyone that is different. Sometimes I wonder if they will ever accept it. It is nice to met a fae just like you Akari." There was a smile there, but no one could see it. Then there was something about a drug that could turn you to an animal. He had to say he had never herd of such a thing. Then several people showed up ready to do training. Then the King told them to go get 3d Maneuver gear, he did not bother he was not going to fight anything besides he was here just to watch. He had seen 3d Maneuver gear before, but never used it there was not really a reason to. He watched as the others got ready. What would be next?
Will's pov: View attachment 43338 He watched the group of mages carefully. Teriana said that there was not any reasoning with Yana. "That may be so, but you do not go out and attack someone just based on what you want them to do." Then Teriana went on about how there was no Mage's code. "That is were you are wrong. The mage's code was created long ago, by a group of mages." Then Teriana said 'We don't fight each other out of desire, we do it out of necessity.' "You say that, but you attacked Yana first. One rule of the mage's code is do not attack others unless attacked. You may not be able to save all, but together you can help more. That was what the Council of mages was about, working together with other mages. It was not about all of this." Then he turned to Yana. 'I'm teaching her, making her powerful, and then she won't ever have to be scared of anything again, but if she breaks the rules I have to punish her. It's simple, even your heads should be able to wrap around it' "That is not how you teach a mage. I was taught under one of the most powerful mages around and they did not do anything like you are. Just because someone makes a mistake that does not give you the right to burn her. So what is it you want in exchange for the girls freedom?" Everyone had a price, but what was Yana's? "Yana I think you can agree that this girl needs help." This help was something that Yana could not provide. He could not see it. Yana would continue to run this girl into the ground anyone could see that. Then he turned to the girl. "What is it you want?" he asked Annabelle Olivia's pov: View attachment 43337 Aaron went on about how he lived in Novigrad. "I have been many places no Witcher stays in one spot for long. You are the only Witcher like that, to help others without payment. Never lose that Aaaron." What was taking so long to get to Kaer Morhem? He did not think that he had gone that far from that but apparently he did. Then Aaron went on about his sister. "If you want to see your sister, why re you wasting your time with me? From what I hear family comes first, not some girl that you just met." This Aaron guy was a mystery. If he was anything to go by then his sister had a big heart.
