We zoom into the planning room in the guild where Indica, Gladian, Viridian, Husk, Aurlie and Shiye are planning something.
Gladian: The issue on the table
Husk: Uh….
Indica; The criminals and night mages, we need to figure out the dark hole those fuckers crawled out of
Virdian: Ah yes, so uh any leads
Indica: Other then the place Sien was killed, we have no leads
Aurelie: Well lets make our own leads
Everyone Else: ?????
Aurelie: Lets try to get information out of them, spy on them.
Indica: Huh, but we’d need to tail a location, and for that….
Gladian: We need easy access to data, a spectrograph of Night Mage activity
Viridian: I can spy, i hid underground for hours once, i could do so for minutes
Indica: But they could sense your presence, we’d need to record them, with some kind of a spell…
Shiye: Unfortunately there aren’t a ton of magic users in the Guild
Husk: Magic, i think i can do that, like suck…
Gladian: Suck isn’t required for this situation, so who to get…
Viridian: Loren can’t do magic so that’s a non starter….
Indica: Hmm, lets check our options
Shiye: I can do magic but that kind of spell is out of my range
Aurelie: I think…..
Someone Barges in
Cosma: You need me
Aurelie: Well, I was going to say Anmai..
Cosma: Well im sorry
Aurelie: Well no, your so talented and…
Cosma: I’ll be on my way
Viridian: Hey Cosma…
Cosma: I’m listening
Viridian: If you help us I’ll give you your Golden Clove Staff back
Cosma: YES, DEAL, I’m sick of using this stupid silver one, GIMME GIMMIE
Viridian: Ok, let me go find it
Gladian: Man she is a master negotiator
Indica: Cosma, why do you need the Golden Staff
Cosma: The Silver one is too small
Shiye: Ah yes, and with the Gold one, you can allow me and Husk to use our magics in more effective thresholds
Cosma: I actually didn’t think of that but…
(Husk starts bitting on Cosma’s armor)
Cosma: Oh man, he still thinks he’s a Leech
Shiye: They can’t reverse his Brain damage, say that surgery could kill him so he’s stuck like this
Cosma: Better then dead, and yes I’ve heard the news about Sien
Gladian: Yeah, Those guys at the Church were serious buisness
Cosma: That church is actually an epicenter of magic, if we can get there, we could record every conversation these fools have in the city on the Magic Logs.
Indica: Well that explains their absurd Power level, anyway, we need to get back there without attracting those Twins or whatever they were
Cosma: Uh, we just do I guess, not like they are on patrol 24/7?
Auralie: Great, go back to the murder church, great plan you guys
Gladian: But you cannot deny it’s effectiveness
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Indica: I give her that, let’s try it.
Gladian: And i know a Ferry Man, who would ferry us for pay ment
Viridian: Im back with the staff
Cosma: SWEET
(Cosma joins your party. You head out but see some thugs)
Gladian: Hold on, lets take out the trash first
(Begins Magic Tutorial)
(After Magic Tutorial)
Ferryman: Hey, I heard you want to go back
Gladian: Yes I do.
Ferryman: But i don’t think i have the accommodations for your party.
Cosma: Uh ok but, uh we all cant swim that far
Ferryman: (SIgh) Fair enough.
On the ferry, Crab monsters descend onto the boat
Gladian: We can never catch a break.
Indica: Your weak, I fight
After defeating the Crabs, Ferry Section 1 begins, clear it to get back to Harbor Section 1.
Ferryman: I need to go refuel, hopefully you guys can swim to the Church
Gladian: What wait
Everyone gets knocked of the boat
Husk: (Starts swimming underwater after fish)
Indica: (Grabs him) No, you stay here.
Husk: But
Gladian; we need to stick together to stand a chance.
Cosma: Cmon, we need the information
Auralie (just goes ahead)
Begin Harbor 1 again, halfway through Harbor 1
Husk: I cant swim that far on an empty stomach
Shiye: Sure you can, I believe in you
Cosma: I don’t
Shiye: COSMA
Cosma: What??
Shiye: Not cool
Resume Harbor 1, when you get back to the Docks near the Church
Gladian: The Moment of truth…..
Viridian: Be on your guard…
Husk: Ok, wouldn’t want to die
Walk back to the church
(Cosma Pulls out her staff and places it in on the ground in the dial)
Cosma: I need to cast the spell and..
(A shadowy figure casts itself)
Cendial: The Fool Came back, Zenial is gone, so your lucky your just facing me
Cosma: Uhh, can the six of you take him
Gladian: We can try
Indica: Oh man I’ve been itching for a reematch.
Viridian: COSMA CAST THE SPELL
(Cosma leaves the party and begin casting a spell, The Cendial fight begins)
(After the fight begins, Cosma has cast the spell and the words appear on the magic scroll)
Cendial: (struggling to get up) You have bested me, but i will not let you escape with the knowledge to stop us
Cosma: Whats happening
(A Meg Lightning Mage is summoned with the remnants of his Shadow energy and Cendial runs away as it zaps the Magic Scroll, Cosma rejoins the party)
Cosma: We need to run
Gladian: I have a plan
Shiye: Uh make it a good one?
Gladian: Trust me
(Chase sequence ensues, when your at a corner this happens)
Gladian: We have him cornered
Indica: I see
Cosma: Smart as ever
(Fight against Mega Lightning Mage)
Cosma: Well the Magic Scroll is smudged beyond belief
Indica: Great.
Shiye: Well, let’s make out what it says
Husk: (Begins Reasding): 28, 10, Mavando, Outer Paradise
Auralie: Mavanda? Outer Paradise?
Indica: I’m not the expert on this stuff, but, I do know who would know back at the Guild
Husk (keeps reading): Lightning and Night will reign across the sky, Mavanda’s Goal will come to fruition.
Gladian: I guess she wants to lift the city into the sky, just a hunch
Shiye: Or he??
Husk (Finished Reading): Night will befall.
Indica: That sounds like a dusty old prophecy
Cosma: Hmm, Outer Paradise….
Viridian: What about Outer Paradise Cosma…
Cosma: I remember seeing something about that in the Grand Old Library in the city catacombs…
Husk: So, uh, what ae doing and where are we going?
Cosma: The depths…
Shiye: Hey don’t we need clearance for that..
Gladian: I don't exactly care at the moment, lets go…
The descend into the Catcombs, Begin Catacombs 1
(Halfway Through Catacombs 1)
Viridian: It feels homey down here but…
Cosma: I too feel an uneasy disturbance down here….
Indica: Are you guys afraid of the dark?
Auralie: Not Afraid, Cautious
Husk: Must survive…
Gladian: Let’s tread lightfully from here on in.
Go until the end of Catacombs 1
(At the end of Catacombs 1)
Galadius: I feel shadows behind us
Indica: We aren’t alone
Cosma (Sensing Something): GET DOWN
A night sword cuts through the darkness
Shiyu: A Night Knight, let’s slay the beast
Husk: But we must survive
Auralie: We’re well aware
After that Catacombs 2 begins
(Midway through Catacombs 2)
Gladian: So, uh, an Icebreaker??
Husk: I’m hungry
Everyone Else: We know
Auralie : Gladian, were a brotherhood, we already know everything about each other.
Cosma: But what about the time Viridian hid in a closet for three days
Viridian: Yeah so, I was great at it
(At the end of Catacombs 2)
Gladian: We made it……
Cosma: The Great Library……..
(End of Chapter 2)
