The Plucky Hecatonchire

Karstone wasn’t the only one to be shocked; Charles, having shuffled out of the way of everyone who barged into the bar, whipped his head about so fast it clicked across the room. The nearest man, a sellsword of some description, winced in sympathy.

Sir Charles could not attest to when he had last seen Karstone. The last he remembered , for certain, was during their doomed charge into Capital City, and that was partly thanks to Mr. Hodgan reminding him of how he looked like he had 'gon’ out yer bluddy ‘ead’. Everything after that was a jumbled mess of horror, of blood and demons and dark magic, and a young boy they had failed to save. He wanted to say there had been griffins involved as well, but no matter how he tried to arrange the story he failed to make it make sense.

It had been magic. The rivers had turned red and flowed into the city, the dead had risen to drag them to their deaths, and he had been struck upon the head. It didn't have to make sense.

As the discerning observer would have realised, Sir Charles had never made it to Messia. While the gods had fiddled with the world, wiping the memories of everyone who had anything to do with it save their chosen few, he had been lying in a fevered coma. If he had known that any of this happened, it would have helped him make sense of how the monks seemed so reluctant to answer any of his questions, and why he had been confined to his chambers so often until he learned to stop talking about the City. As it was, he had no idea how suspicious his continued remembrance must seem.

Therefore, he stopped dead in his tracks, staring at his former comrade-in-arms in shock for about a second. Then, his brain started working again; Karstone was an adventurer by choice. He must have heard the same stories Charles did, and of course he would have come this way. Still, he was torn between calling this one hell of a coincidence and shrugging it off as a small world after all. All seeing. All knowing. All scumbag.

Hiking his pack back up his shoulder, the knight-errant grinned back at Karstone and began to thread his way across the tavern, not fancying having to shout across every other soul in the room to be heard. Pretty much everything that reached his ears along the way seemed more in line with what he had been planning, for everyone and their daughter seemed intent on heading northwards. The idea still appealed; see the ogres, hopefully from a safe distance, and then the eyries of the Flying Men beyond them. After that, if nothing else presented itself, then he could just keep going. Now that he knew to keep a bow handy, for supper’s sake, he didn't really see anything standing in his way.

Ten coins, whatever denomination you like, said Karstone was going in the same direction they were, and they just hadn’t got around to realising it yet. Still, even if he ended up going straight back the way he came, Charles couldn’t see himself turning down the only friendly face he’d seen in months; everything he wanted to see would probably still be here by the time they were done. Besides, if God still had a purpose for him then this was too big a hook to ignore.

“I’ve got the sword arm,” he told the hammer-hefting headhunter when he drew closer, hiking his pack back up onto his shoulder before tugging away the glove on his right hand, “Can't promise the wits are still here." The hand he revealed was as calloused as could be from a life of swordsmanship, with closely-trimmed fingernails, scrubbed as clean as he could manage in a sort-of-clear brook about a week ago. He caught sight of the dirt caked under his own nails, and was reminded of the stains (mainly blood) that refused to budge from his brown tunic or trousers, and his smile turned self-conscious. “How are you? And if you’re offering money, I’ll take a bath and a new shirt instead.” His stomach rumbled insistently. “And dinner, apparently.” All seeing. All knowing. All scumbag.

Hearing someone asked if he was alright, he looked as saw it was Annie, he didn't want to bother the others with his problems he smiled and laughed and said, "Yeah I'm perfectly fine, just a bit of fatigue from the ride here. Going from hunting monsters to ridding to this tavern takes a lot out of you. Just need a drink, that's all."

Of course he was lying that he alright, but he was telling the truth about being tired from the ride there, but it wasn't really affecting him as much as the thoughts of Azul and the fear of becoming a monster like Azul accompanied by the guilt of wanting more of the power still.

Meanwhile at Gorebucks...

Ryokin walked through the rubble that's when he spotted the person he was coming there to see. The power that leads him there, the demigod Soahc, a toothy grin went across his face as his demonic mind wandered over what he could do in this place. Seeing the man screaming in pain from having coffee thrown in his pain. He walked towards the bar, hiding his magical blade under his cloak then freeing his hands.

He stopped at the counter, then said, "What a waste, his soul would be better if he wasn't suffering so much. Although it is so amusing to watch as he tries to get his face to stop burning." Ryokin then paused, then said, "Oh where are my manners, speaking to someone of great importance and I didn't introduce myself, I am Ryokin, lord of the crossroads, now, if you won't be so kind Soahc."

He stopped speaking to wipe his finger off the counter as if he wiped the dust away, he then said, "I see you are looking for help, let's make a deal." His eyes glowed red as he said that for a split second as he prepared to make a deal for his services.

Annie knew Kuro was telling some of the truth but not all of it. She didn't want to make an issue about it so, she said with a smile,"ok. If you ever want to talk about it, you can talk to me. I know what you mean but, I ready for a new adventure." she really like Kuro and she really care about him. -Dances-

Bringer of the Worldfire

As the flames devoured the flimsy abodes of wood, the pyromistress simply laughed, the screams of those caught inside falling upon ears that took great pleasure in hearing them. At least half of the town was burning now, whether it be from her hand directly or from the flames spreading. It was a beautiful sight, and although she admired it she was not admiring it because it was her handiwork. No, she was admiring the beauty of the fire itself, something that she did every time something like this happened. Its majesty dwarfed everything else in the world, and the world deserved to have such majesty everywhere. It was both a crime and a tragedy that such a thing did not exist everywhere, and that so many people were afraid of it. Those people were the worst, and deserved to be consumed by the very flames they shunned.

Even as a young girl, Kira had been fascinated by flames. She had spent hours sitting in front of the fire, staring into it with a fascination that many found frightening. Something about it just drew her in, and when her magical powers manifested themselves it just became worse. Instead of secretly setting fires with conventional materials she was able to simply bring it to life, and it wasn't long before her home had been reduced to a pile of flaming debris. Yet, from the burning debris, an unscathed Kira had emerged, fire in her fist and her normally green eyes glowing a bright crimson.

And now she was here, the homes of so many others burning around her as she admired their destruction. Suddenly, her concentration was torn away as one of the doors smashed open and three people emerged, coughing from the smoke and looking back at their home in horror. Her green eyes narrowed, turned crimson again, and Kira's body blazed with flame for just a moment. Once that moment was gone, so was she, moving at a blur towards the family that had just escaped. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

They didn't even have time to look back before she was among them, grabbing two of them - the woman and young boy - and pulling them back into the house, slamming the door and immediately setting it ablaze along with every other wall that did not have flame on it. They weren't leaving, and she was making sure of it.

Hearing attempts to pound on the door from the other side, the pyromistress smiled at the two terrified individuals, told them, "

Have fun.

" and vanished into the fires that were now engulfing everything.

She reappeared outside, seemingly stepping out from the flames that were licking the walls. The man outside, who was still trying to open the door despite the burns on his hands, saw her, jumped back, and looked at her for a moment before letting out a yell and charging. With a grin, Kira sidestepped and pushed him into the wall, letting out a satisfied sigh when he recoiled with a scream. He was still refusing to accept it, and seeing someone punished for their lack of faith in such things was one of the more pleasurable things that she could experience.

Somehow, he managed to get back up and charge again. This time she didn't sidestep, but rather moved forward and embraced him before he could managed to strike. So shocked was he that he didn't have to respond when she whispered in his ear, "

Accept the majesty of the Flame.

" and made her entire body burst into flame. The screams were directly in her ear, and she made sure to savor them for the few seconds they lasted before the ash crumbled through her embrace and onto the ground.

A satisfied grin on her face, the pyromistress turned and walked away, savoring the echoing screams of those that she had left to burn inside the house. They were the first of many, for there would be no escape from the flames that would sweep the world. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Name: Azim d'Rix
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Occupation: Scholar of Magic, especially Magical Theory and Spell Circles

Appearance: Azim at best can be seen as average. His 5' 10" build is not too big, not too small (though he is on the scrawnier side) and not especially remarkable in any way, shape, or form. Although his legs do have a little tone from traveling around, that's about the only claim to muscle he has.

His face is slightly rectangular, and neatly contained by his short combed hair. Murky, blue-green eyes framed by a set of thin-wired metal glasses rest under strong eyebrows. His small lips hide a set of curiously crooked teeth and contrast with his slightly larger nose. Excepting a slight tan line from his glasses and a more prominent one from his clothes, the rest of his skin is clear and slightly tanned.

Attire: Being effectively a Mage, Azim wears no heavy armor, opting instead for a set of black wizard's robes. They're pretty long, reaching to his ankles, but they're well fitting and have large pockets for him to store various magical nick-nacks. The inside of the robe's subtly flared sleeves are lined with a red fabric which also trims the robe along the neck. The simple black leather boots Azim wears can be seen clearly, and he tries his best to keep them clean.

Weapons: His knowledge of Spellcraft, Spell Circles, Misc. Non-Casting Studies, and Basic Alchemy and Alchemical Theory (He can make a healing potion, magical energy restoring potion, and a fire bomb, but he could study more.) 404 SIGNATURE NOT FOUND

Personality: Azim is slightly on the quieter side. When he has a task to do, he does the best that he can, but even though most of what he does is of average quality at worst, he has a slight inferiority complex. Extremely apologetic and slightly sycophantic, Azim tries his best to please everyone, which never works in his favor. Has a dark, self-deprecating sense of humor, and enjoys puns on both an ironic and sincere level. He oftentimes talks to himself out loud when thinking.

Short History: Because of both his mother and father's high magical aptitude, Azim was on several academy's watch list from a young age. Although he couldn't seem to cast any spells yet, he was admitted into a school of magic. The teachers quickly discovered that he couldn't cast any spells yet, so they taught him as much non-casting related material as they could. After a few years, they realized that he wasn't capable of casting spells, but he was at the top of his class in almost every other subject, so they let him stay. Azim wasn't treated kindly by his fellow students, but by the time they got to harder magical theory courses, they stopped laughing at his lack of casting capability. After the teachers allowed him to switch out his Spellcasting classes out for other courses, Azim finally graduated from his school a year ago. He went to join a Mage's Guild, but it was destroyed by demons before he arrived. Ever since, he's been searching for a place where his honed and specific but otherwise useless skill-set could be appreciated.
Other: Nobody knows why he's unable to cast spells. He's asked a lot of people. 404 SIGNATURE NOT FOUND

A big grin spread across Rovaan's face when Zed spoke. The last Rovaan had seen of Zed was when he and Alicia had taken him to a healer. He had been in rough shape then and it was good to see him back on his feet. Though unlike Rovaan, it looked as if Zed had gotten himself some new attire and gear.

''Do my ears and eyes deceive me or have I just had too much to drink? Zed is that you under those new clothes my dear lad?'' said Rovaan with a toothy grin. ''Good to see you back on your feet after becoming a pin cushion for a bunch of archers. Also good to see a familiar face in this little menagerie we have been putting together for a job we don't even know about yet.''

It was then Rovaan heard something from Kuro about needing a strong drink. Chuckling to himself Rovaan pulled the flask from his belt and took a quick drink. He quietly capped it back off before wiping his lips and extending the flask to Kuro.

''Here lad, try some of this. Good strong mix of Ashvale Cider, Blood Lotus, and Devil's Drought. Put some hares on your chest, kills cowardice as well as kills one's memory so to speak. Name's Rovaan by the way pleasure to meet you.'' chuckled Rovaan as he held the flask out towards Kuro.

Kuro accepted the flask and said, "Thanks, nice to meet you I'm Kuro." He opened the flask, first wiping the top off first then took a drink from the flask. He coughed a bit, then he wiped it off and caped it and handed it back.

He then said, "Yeah, that's strong stuff. Thanks, better than the stuff I did when I was out hunting, although that the stuff I made, I can't say I should have drank it. Grabbing a bunch random herbs, fruits, and weird tree barks then drinking it is always a risk, it left me blind for three days and numb all over for five. I don't recommend drinking what I made, while hunting drakes, or while riding a horse..." Kuro trailed off, as he wasn't going to keep talking about his time when he tried to make his own mead.

and nothing was spoiled
