The Tall Tale of Two Rays of Hope: The Magical Maestro and The Crossroad Kid [Noir/Sesshomaru/Main Hall/KILL VIABLE]

The pair would find themselves pulled into the world of the main hall. Their insides would turn as their vision went white. A blinding light had flashed them as soon it faded into intense streams of reds, yellows, and oranges. As it swirled and faded around like a fire they would quickly shoot out, their vision going dark for a moment as they would impact in the ground.

They would tumble forward a couple of meters. The rough red rock scraped their skin. The ground was warm, the heat glaring down and surrounding them was even more intense. It was as if they had been just tossed through a bonfire. While the heat would get them up quicker the two would become more aware of the surroundings as everything blurred together.

The smell of death lingered ahead, the air was burning. Their noses were burning as they picked up the scent. Noir would notice the strange building in the distance, they looked familiar. It would remind her of how previous dungeons seemed like cities as well. It was a broken down and burned one, and like most cities, it had a population.

Ahead noises would be heard, the fanalis would pick up the soft and pain-filled moans that lingered ahead. He would hear other movements ahead as well, there was someone ahead of them but he could only hear the traces of them.

They would both feel and notice something pulling them forward. Something would urge and point the pair towards a large canyon 80m ahead. Something was down there, Gamigan was calling for them.

A fire fueled the air and the adventures had their task. Interesting contenders. A Magical Maestro with the power and mind of a King Candidate. A Crossroad Kid with plenty of options, both were rays of hope for their world. One with achieved potential and the other waiting to find it. A dungeon to test and tell, to see if they will find or will they fall.

DM notes: Canyon is 80m ahead.

The red head adventurer was shocked as the massive door transported him into the dungeon. He tumbles and landed on his hands and knees gasping as he felt like the wind was knocked out of him. He gets up and feels how hot the area he was in, it was as if he was in a desert or something a lot hotter. The Fanalis found out that it was a bad decision to stop wearing shoes. He had decided a week ago to stop wearing shoes since he liked the feel of the ground under his bare feet, except for now that is. He was jumping from foot to foot trying to stay of one for to long so hos feet would not blister. He was also covering his nose as he felt it begin to him a bit from the strong heat in the air. He was not sure how long he could last in a place like this.

After adjusting to the hot atmosphere and floor of the world he would finally take in the view around him. He was surprised by what he was seeing. This wasn't a building or some kind of ruins but a would world around him. Did the gate teleport him to another country or something? He wasn't sure but he was sure that while the landscape looked like ruins and almost hellish he still found it beautiful, probably only something an explorer and adventurer could feel. He could feel something pulling him towards a canyon which unease him, he had never felt any kind of feeling like this before and he was not sure how he felt about this. Wait actually he knew exactly how he felt, this hellish landscape, this mysterious force beckoning him, he felt danger from this and with danger he got excited. This was a brand new kind of experience and that was exactly what he wanted.

Yet as he continued to observe the area around him he could hear several noises. If he focused a little he could hear pained moans, several of them, he wasn't sure if they were people in pain or something else like monsters. But that was ridiculous, he had yet to see any kind of monsters in the world, however of there was then that meant a strong opponent he could fight. He also heard some thing else, this sound was quite different from the moans, it sounded much more human. Could it be thay there was someone else ahead of them, maybe thay fana he saw enter before him.

As he finished his observation of the area he would finally notice 3 presences behind him. He turns around and looks shocked at what he saw. It was Noir! She was is first friend since he began his travels and they promised to meet again but that had been a while ago. He had not seen her in quite a while and now here she was in the dungeon with him. She was with Haku, the large animal that was her companion, that and some woman he had never met, she looked a bit older then Noir and sessho. He smiles getting excited at being reunited with an ally after so much has happened to him.

"Noir you are here! What are you doing here?
Are you you here to explore the dungeon as well? Also who is the person with you, a friend? " He would say asking several questions at once, this part of Sessho had not changed at all. He was still easily excitable and energetic as the last time they saw each other. He would give her time to reply before talking again. "This place is amazing, I wonder if we are in another county." he would say more to himself repeating am earlier thought. He would turn away focusing then turning back again looking a bit more serious then usual. "Also do you feel that force, it's like it's wanting us to go toward the canyon. I am excited yet a bit wary. Oh and you should know that I hear a bunch of moaning in that direction and something or someone else." he would say sounding calm and rational clearly pulling himself together for a few since he had others with him and couldn't stay reckless. He would look at noir wondering if she was ready to head to the canyon and the force beckoning them.

Sessho Gear:

It was a familiar feeling all over again, Noir could feel her vision going dark and she lost her focus for a moment. The next moment, she was already laying on the ground with eyes closed, seemingly losing a bit of her consciousness before she suddenly opened her eyes while taking a deep breath. However the air was harsh and she could feel the heat seemed to be taken into her lungs, thus causing her to be choked on her breath and she would let out a reflexively coughing. After she gained back her composure, Noir could feel that the ground she had been laying on becoming hotter after each second passed. Not only that, she could feel a sharp pain on her body, resulted from scraped skin, possibly caused by the moment when she was falling from the sky. The magician would stand up and noticed that her flying carpet was under her all along, although didn’t have any effect due to no magoi being filled to it anymore.

As Noir rolled her magic carpet so she could store it, she would look around the place before noticing that she was really inside the dungeon at the moment. The proof of that would be the strange buildings, more precisely, some abandoned buildings in a dead city just like the ones in the other dungeons that she had entered before. Nearby she would hear a growl, coming from none other than her own beast who was now running towards her, wanting to approach her. Beside the liger would be Shousui, the former noblewoman who was also taking the harsh fall that could be seen from her clothing which was torn a little. “Everyone okay?” Noir would ask towards Shousui and Haku before getting a nod and a sultry smile from the older magician as well as a fired growl coming from the liger.

However, not far from them, there was someone else too and when she saw him, Noir noticed the Fanalis almost immediately. The Fanalis would excitedly greet her, seemed happy that he was not alone in the dungeon. “Yes, she is Lady Shousui and it is nice to see you again Sesshomaru.” The older lady would scoff as she looked at the redhead though before giving him a playful smile as a simple introduction. As she listened to the redhead’s comment about the dungeon, Noir thought that she also felt the same way the first time she entered the dungeon but hopefully the Fanalis would be ready for the dangers lurking inside the dungeon.

“Time moves differently here, it is not the same as the outside. I do feel the force that you mentioned, but before rushing towards the canyon there…” Noir said as she looked at the canyon, wondering why this something was pulling them towards the canyon before turning her gaze towards the Fanalis again as she continued, “Let’s explore the ghost town first to see if we can find something though, if you happen to see a strange writing or scribbles written in foreign language, please inform me.” She would say to the redhead before observing the strange building, hoping to find something there, especially some Torran related stuffs.

Although, the black haired girl was curious about the moaning that the redhead mentioned, so before she get started to explore, Noir would say, “While we are on this, let’s see if we can find out the source of the moan sneakily since we have to be careful because everything is dangerous in a dungeon.” If there was nothing that she and Sessho could find amongst the ruins, then she would suggest to just go towards the canyon and following the force.

Weapons Brought:

MV, Shard & Meat Brought:

NPC & Beast brought:

The pair would rummage around the ruins for a moment looking for anything noticeable. Most of the structures were too damaged to contain anything that was truly worthwhile. The walls were scribbled with writings, echoes of the past. They would almost all be uniform in word, changing the sentence structure only slightly between each variation. The words from the Alma Torran would warn, warning of the day they all went away. It would be up to the two if they wished to gain some insight from the past but it was clear that there was nothing that was going to benefit them right now.

If the two chose to continue towards the canyon they would both hear the moans wrap around, lingering in the air as the sound became stronger. A large group could be made out in the distance, like a group of individual flames. As the heat exuded from the flaming corpses the would start to make out the dark shapes. The burning and rancid flesh of the zombies would push against their senses as they got closer.


The undead gazed at the pair, their moans and screams of pain would be a symphony. This aching choir of the damned sang their song for them as they got closer. Only the dead could be heard, only the dead were here. Whatever the fanalis had heard before was moving ahead, through the crowd.

The thirty zombies lounged amongst the ruins, not mingling, just vocalizing their pain. They would just sit there as they would wait for the two to decide what they wanted to do. It wasn't the only way, they could walk around, go over or under, possibly even just walk through. The did seem to be staring intently, some staring at the sky. The others opened their fiery maws as bursts of flame would shoot out between their moans.

A swirling vortex of stimuli poked at their senses and was prodding for a decision as well. They would need to act in some way big or small in order to move on. They were passive but it was clear that there was something bizarre going on in Gamigan.

Dm Notes: 30 Zombies infront of you right now, the canyon is 30m away rn.

Charred Zombies:

Noir raised her eyebrow as her golden orbs scanned the scribbles engraved on the wall, from what she was reading, it was about a warning about something but the black haired girl didn’t really understand what the warning was about. Noir was sure it was talking about the event in the past though and although she tried to look at somewhere else, it was talking about the same kind of thing as well. Perhaps it was time to move on, after all? A sigh escaped Noir, feeling a little bit disappointed because she couldn’t get more insight at the abandoned buildings. But she knew more secrets would be uncovered sooner as she went deeper to the dungeon.

“Let’s move on, shall we?” Noir said to her companions, including the energetic Fanalis. She still wondered about the redhead though, especially about how she could work together with him. She met him sometimes, but never spent a long time to fight together in a dangerous place, well… even at the less dangerous place than the dungeon. But maybe they might bond well in the dungeon and Noir would also try her best to protect him if needed alongside with Shousui and Haku.

As they continue to move on, now wanting to go towards the canyon, Haku’s ear from flip a little bit as he heard the same sound just like what he heard from when they entered the dungeon, although this sounded a little bit stronger. Sesshomaru should be able to hear it as well and for each steps, the pained moan seemed to be getting louder and louder. Even Noir and Shousui should be able to hear it now, but instead of feeling cautious, the black haired girl frowned as she pitied anything that might made that pained moan. “Oh my…” Shousui would look towards the army of zombies, not just any ordinary zombies though as their body was burning. “Poor beings…” The older lady words didn’t match her expression though, she looked calm and her playful smile were still carved on her beautiful canvas.

The black haired girl frowned more, what did they do to be something horrible like this. They were charred… burning from their insides and all they could do was letting out their pained moan. She… didn’t know how to help them and fighting them didn’t feel right as well. “Sesshomaru… I pity them, they are cursed and all they can do to ask for help are only by letting us know that they are hurting from the sound they’ve made…” She would say to the Fanalis as she prepared her flying carpet, “It would be wise to let them be as I believe we will find a way to save them by asking the owner of this place, so let’s move on by using this flying carpet.”

If Sesshomaru agreed to fly with them, Noir would gladly let Sessho to be on board on the flying carpet. She would maneuver the flying carpet so it would flying high enough, around 5 meters high from the ground as they keep going towards the canyon. When they almost reached their destination, she would maneuver the flying carpet to go down a little bit and made sure the grounding was safe for them to land.

He nods as she suggested looking in the ruins. He searches for awhile seeing random scribbles he couldn't decipher but he would tell her anyways. This place was amazing and by the sound of it, it seemed that Noir had been in a dungeon before. She mentioned about this place being dangerous, while that would make others cautious he just got more excited. More danger meant a greater adventure in his eyes. However he could tell that Noir wanted to stay cautious so he would try his best to stay calm and hold back his normal urges to fight whatever he sees, which will be quite hard for the adventurer.

He was glad to see the dark haired girl again. He hasn't known her very well but he could tell that she enjoyed adventuring as he did. He also felt that do the flow of life guided them to reunite again and that their paths would probably connect more often and planned on trying to get to know her more and work together while in the dungeon. The older woman however seemed like a complete mystery to him. Her words said one thing but her face would say something else. She seemed dangerous and strong which excited the adventurer as well.

After exploring the ruins thrived on, noir did not seem to pleased with what the scribbles said. It amazed him that she knew how to read whatever these scribbles were. If he was to be a true adventurer he would have to learn how to read those as well.

He noticed thay they were getting closer to the noises and soon saw a horde of burning creatures. He wasn't sure what they were but could smell pungent, rancid odor meaning they were probably dead, whatever they were. He grins a bit eager to fight these monsters but hesitates when noir said she pitied them and thay it would probably be best to avoid them. He felt a little down but would go with what she said. However he believed that they were already dead and the only way to help would be to kill them. However he was going to stick with Noir and hold back on his urges to battle.

He nods no longer smiling for the moment, however his eyes were still ablaze with excitement. He shakes his head as she mentions riding on the carpet with her. "Thanks but I will travel my way this time.
I wanna try something." saying this he would run 5 meters back then run straight at the horde jumping once he is 1 meter away from the horde planning to leap over all 30 of the zombies. If he succeeds in leaping over them he will land on his two feet a few meters past the horde. He would then look at Noir smiling and ask a quick question, "Hey how are you able to read those scribbles?" he would say grinning from the excitement of jumping over the large horde of zombies.

As the group approached the zombies they would examine the undead but choose to ignore them overall it had seemed. They had discussed possibly saving them, something which had perked up the zombie's attitude it had seemed but they had avoided giving an actual response to the pair. The group of burning undead would just continue to bump and lay around as they expelled her and their sad lamentations.  While Noir and Shoisui would fly over ahead on the carpet the boy would perform a fanalis feat of leaping. Some of the zombies ah'd out as he soared overhead.

For the brief moment, he was in the air Sessho would feel an intense heat, the heat that lurked in the room. It would feel like his entire body had been enveloped into pure frustration. It would subside as his feet had hit the ground. Time seemed irrelevant in this race as they had all moved forward seeing more of the burnt ruins. Near the mouth of the Canyon which they were now enclosing on, they could see entire building burnt and embedded into the earth.

The ruins read about the darkness in the sky, over and over the same message would be seen on the buildings at their destination. While they all approached the canyon they would feel an intense gust of air. A pressure exuded down from the canyon, as the air had burned their noses. The burning smell of the dead was potent down there. The heat was already playing with their senses. The Canyon seemed to be only 80m long. They would be able to get to the bottom in no time.

Power would call them forward, to go down further into Gamigan. As an intense flame and heat burned way up high Gamigan was moving. All unaware of the amount of life that kept flowing into this undead dungeon. Hells gates would lead to a chance for pride or paradise.

DM notes: Canyon is 80m long, you may go down and venture itno the second half of the room.

“By learning the language.” The black haired girl would let the Fanalis be when he wanted to just cross by himself, refusing Noir’s offer to ride the carpet together with her as well as Shousui and Haku. The older magician immediately scoffed, possibly done countless time ever since they meet the Fanalis. But despite of that, she didn't really say anything and would just try to enjoy the warm weather as they float on the flying carpet. The former assassin would also observe the burning zombie as Noir concentrate on controlling the flying carpet before smiling playfully as she saw something that would piqued up the younger magician's interest. However, as they were closing into the canyon, Noir noticed the writings on the ruins again after the intense gust of air slightly shaking them on the carpet. As she managed to keep the flying carpet steady, she would try to approach the Fanalis a little bit until they were in the range to speak with each other.  “Sesshomaru.” She called her redhead companion, feeling the need to tell him as well about the readings. “I just saw the readings on the ruins, it mentioned about the darkness in the sky. If you have any idea on whatever it is… please tell me.”

As Noir were done talking with Sesshomaru, Shousui would decide to tell Noir about her findings. “Something interesting is happening my dear.” She said as she called out to Noir, making the golden eyed magician to focus on the older woman just before she maneuvered them to land. “What is it?” Noir asked back , demanding an answer. “The burning creatures, they are interesting. They seemed to have intelligence based on the reaction they gave the moment that red child jumped over them and not to mention, are able to feel pain from their pained moan.” She would pause before putting her index finger on her lower lips as she continued, “I've heard there were monster in the dungeons, however the magic at work here is truly remarkable.” She would chuckle, wondering what Noir would do after hearing her comments.

Shousui words gave a big impact, especially when she mentioned that they have intelligence and also able to experience pain. It made Noir wanted to try something and she would maneuver the flying carpet towards the nearest zombie, wasn't too close but definitely in the range. The black haired girl concentrate and infused a bit of her magoi into the healing bracelet before making a purple light to spread and attempted to heal to zombies who were inside the 3 meters sphere. After that she would see if the zombie could be healed or not, or at least hoping that the healing would be able to reduce their pain.

If there was nothing happening, Noir would just go back towards the canyon and try to reach the end of the canyon.

Spoiler:

The red head wonder was surprised by how much hooter it felt when he was in the air. This feeling was really weird to him. Maybe this heat was to warn them from going high in the sky, or maybe there was some kind of force or something like that in the sky they could find if they go high enough. The feeling vanished as he hit the ground trying to brush off what's felt kinda like frustration that he felt in the sky. He would brush all of that off until what noir said, something about a darkness in the sky? Maybe there really was something in the sky. Time to test that idea. He nods at noir grinning a bit, "The heat got much more intense the higher you went. I am going to jump again to see of I can see anything while in the sky. If there is nothing in the sky I can at least get a looking our surroundings. " he would say hoping his friend liked that idea.

He would then prepare to jump while noir and thevoldblady talked. He would stretch first before crouching all the way down as if to build up pressure and power into his mighty legs,  the only good thing sessho had. He would take a breath before leaping straight into the air, using everything he could muster in his legs hoping to jump way higher then before since this was straight up. He would then looks around to see if there was a source to the heat and at the ground to scan their surroundings.

If he didn't find anything while in the sky he would land and then follow what noir does next.

While the pair had loitered around the dead they would soon glow with a warmth. Their sad song of moans shifted to soft sounds of bliss. Sighs of relief began to part their lips as the damage from their burned flesh was partly healed. The entire damage would be impossible to reverse forever. However, it eased their pain. The purple light would draw them all near, each rotating for a moment to ease their pain. With that the zombies would part, making way for the pair to move forward. For a moment the zombies would do nothing, but once the magician had passed they would act.

Their chests began to glow, a soft flame radiating before them. The flames licked the air, snapping forth, as they began to swirl. Red and yellow painted the sky as the flames from them all condensed, the heat focusing. A small orange a red flame with a strong glare, a sparkle, almost a crackle of heat dancing off it. The flame would then flow, like the wind, guiding into Noir. The warmth would flow into her before softly settling as the continued towards the canyon.

Their worldview would change very quickly as the young man and skilled magician saw what the canyon had to offer. Inside the actual walls of the depths of the underground were more buildings. Houses for those that lived in this small city. Who knew where the dead lingered. Yet before they would have the chance to venture further in Sessho would gain a different outlook, a higher outlook.

As he leaped into the air he would be able to see farther ahead, scouting out the area, and up high he would see where the heat rose. Sitting high in the sky, almost a pulsating source of warmth floated there. It hung like a sun that one would be able to touch if they could just fly. It's heat radiated from a small source. The heat washed over, it was pressuring, it was exhausting. Sesshomaru would feel it's danger. it seemed like a curled up person, staring down into the canyon. Down below where the ruins could be seen, where the gate could be seen at the end. But beyond the canyon, the earth seemed burned. It was blackened as if it had been scorched or painted that way.

Despite the odd sites the fanalis and magician would now venture down into the canyon. As they stepped in a strong force would strike into them. Pausing for a moment as the stench of the dead would envelop them. The strong power of Gamigan would beckon for them, for intentions or not. He saw people with potential. As the power called for them they would see the vivid images of the canyon. They would be able to examine the houses, the stone buildings of the canyon. Descending into a cooler, but still burning pit.  A king with their own power, and a boy fresh to make an impact. One already a winner, the other with no desire to attain the same power it seemed.

---

Gamigan would look upon the magician and the fanalis. He would give a soft chuckle, two king candidates had entered his dungeon. Another djinns king made Gamigan judge harder, whether or not they were there for his power. The Djinn also held thoughts about this young fanalis who seemed to have no care for the power that called for him. He saw some potential within this group, something that he wanted to foster.

Whether or not this pair's goals or intention, whether or not if they were ones to win. The Djinn saw rays of hope. They radiated the possibility for something more. Something that the djinn wanted to see. To see how the tale and roads will all reel in.

Dm Notes: Noir has gained a mysterious heat from the Zombies, feels warmer, gentle almost. 30m traveled into the canyon.

Players have 48 hours to post, if players have not posted after 48 hours there will be an automatic proxy post.

The warrior had not seen what happened while noir was healing the zombies but hoped things worked out. While he was in the air he saw the source of the heat and grinned from ear to ear. He knew it! There was something in the sky! However he was not sure if to was the thing that took all of the people in this land or if it was something else, something much more sinister. The source of heat looked like a sum or some ball of fire, however he was convinced this ball of flames was alive. He could feel the danger from it, danger he had not felt before. He had never met something before that expelled danger before, this was definitely not like anything he fought before. Normally danger would cause people to become scared or wary for the smarter ones. However smart was not a friend of sesho. Of anything the presence of danger excited the Fana even more. He entered this dungeon to fight monsters and he hasn't been yet but he felt his chance coming. For sessho he would sometimes lose control of his senses and only focus on fighting,  almost like a beserker rage. He was starting to fewl that as his eyes flickered blood red before becoming hazel again. He needed to get a control of himself for noirs sake. He looks around to scan the area and spots a scorched land, an area that is almost pitch black on the land. He wondered if this land was like thay before or if it was caused by the sun being.

Once he landed he would walk up to noir smiling still. "Did everything go well with the horde? They look mostly the same now" he would say hoping she relieved their pain. He would wait before talking again, "so I did some scouting in the air and found the source of the heat. There is something that looks like a mini sum or a ball of flames. However I could feel danger from it, I have never felt danger from something before. Blood lust yes, but not danger. And it seems like it may be watching everything " despite his words it was clear he was excited. "Also all I could see up ahead was what looked like scorched land. Rather it was scorched before or by the th ing in th sky is unknown." he would say waiting for her to reply before heading down the canyon excited to see what the dungeon had ready for him. He was ready to see where the flow of this river takes him.

A smile appeared on the black haired girl’s face as the pained moans coming from the zombies changed into a more positive voice. It seemed that the healing was working on them and that there was a chance to ease them from their pains, although she was not sure if she could heal them permanently or not. She knew she should conserve her magoi for now and on her way to meet the owner of this realm, Noir would try to find a way. She felt relieved when the zombie made ways for the group so they can move forward though and she would use the chance to march by still using her flying carpet.

“Hm?” Shousui would raise her eyebrow as she looked back towards the zombies and tilted her head as their chest glowed. Not long after that, something that looked like a flame began to follow them and Shousui would try to warn Noir, “There’s a flame flying-“ She would cut herself as the flame entered Noir’s body, seemingly too late to say what she wanted to say, “Do you feel strange? I saw the zombies sent it towards you.” The older woman asked Noir and got a nod as her reply. “It’s…not really strange. It’s just warm. But not actually like a dangerous kind of warm, it’s just like a gentle warm.” The younger magician paused, trying to think about the strange warm she felt inside her body. “It might be their way of showing gratitude? I am not sure.”

Before she continued to travel towards the end of the canyon, Noir would approach Sesshomaru and wondered what kind of thing that the redhead felt as he tried to do another jump. But before that, she would nod to answer the Fanalis’ question, “They make a way for us, so you don’t really have to jump over them anymore… However, you seemed excited.” The raven haired girl gave the redhead an amused smile, an expression that she rarely shown to someone else. She would proceed to listen to what Sesshomaru would say, putting everything inside her head as she tried to make a decision. “If you feel that it is dangerous, then I think we should be very cautious… I would say to not try do anything to that ball of flames for now until we can find out more about it. What do you think? Should we move on?” The Fanalis had a great beastly instinct, so it was a best decision to avoid the danger source for now and to move on into the canyon. However, she thought that it would be better to prepare from now, “Lady Shousui, please keep an eye for anything that might be residing at the sky.”

The magician would then lock her eyes towards Sesshomaru, before give an encouraging pat on his back. “Thank you for telling us. If you have any other thing that you found, please don’t hesitate to tell us.” She said before she descended on the ground and getting ready to venture more towards the canyon before a strong force stuck them. Haku would growl as he could smell something familiar, a stench of dead as he tried to warn Noir. As she was able to felt that as well, she would pet Haku and looked forward only to find more ruins. “For now, let’s explore the area to see if we can find something else as we go forth towards the canyon.” The girl would examine some of the ruins, hoping to find some more writings while still walking towards the end of the canyon.

Magoi: 510/220

After the pair had their conversation their venture into the canyon had continued. Scattered across the walls of the canyon were more houses, more ruins reflecting the life of those from the Alma Torran. Words were etched all over them, different sayings, phrases of those from before. It wasn't obvious who they belonged too, none the less Noir would see a disturbing meaning behind them upon examination.

"I don't wanna die, not like this!"

"AGHHHHHHHHHHH"

"GO, CARRY ON!"

"Is this really the end to our blood!"

"Your darkness won't pierce our iron skin!"

The words weren't the only sign of death. The stench of death that was previously pressing against them like a wall now sat. A cloak of horrendous stench had draped over them, curling into their noses. Despite the canyon being color the burnt flesh scent still persisted. Death was violating their senses in every way. The anger, the resentment of loss was burning at them both as they walked through the canyon. Heat flared in the sky, more fury pouring into the atmosphere, they were trespassing, they were invading. The aura stuttered, they had been halted.


Corpses began to crawl forth from the ground, climbing out from the houses and breaking out of the canyon walls. Fifteen of the Skeleton warriors had surrounded them. Surrounding them in a circle 1m away from the pair. Thet let out a Bloodcurdling Scream. Their anger radiating out from their words. Words, emotions had power, however, the undead weren't the only ones who had words with power.

"Planetary Creation: Earth!"

The earth lifted around them skeletons, lifting all fifteen of them into the air. Their bones compacted, forming a sphere mixed with the burnt rock under them. The soldiers sat there, floating inside the ball of rock. Unable to move unable to fight. "Verse 1: Break". The words would come from the male magician as he walked forth. Carrying a book in his hand, it glowed there was something special about it. It wasn't a magic tool yet there seemed to be power from it.


As he approached his words would turn to a thundering clap as it vibrated against and destroyed the trapped undead soldiers. His cloaked fluttered in the burning wind. He had stopped the blockade. He had also stopped the one thing keeping them safe, safe from the wraith.


The heat flared, lighting up the sky, as it came crashing down towards the man. The crashing waves would start to overcome him, the streams of amber, red and yellow melted the very earth beneath them. Words would be heard amidst the crackles of the flames, more powerful than the rumble of the moving magma now there.

"Planetary Creation: Venus!"

The magma started to pool, forming into a sphere around the wraith. It wouldn't hold the wraith. The sweltering heat seared his flesh as the lava flowed past him, trying to keep the melted earth away from himself. He was in pain, he would roll trying to escape. The young boy had burst forth from the sphere, slamming it into the earth sending out a small shockwave.

Emile had now laid before those he saved, his body burning, wincing in pain. The young boy radiated a powerful heat, an angry grin would spread across his face. The flame in his chest radiated with an intense heat, flickering out. His words would come out searing, burning like it was the last sensation of their life. Burning like outward like his Burning Radiance

"Tainted and unwilling steel will burn, you shall burn!"

Dm notes: Fire wraith is 5m infront of you all, Emile is on the ground before you both. His burning radiance is in effect, gate is 30m behind you if looking at the Wraith.

The girl frowned as she read into the etchings that were scattered across the place, she could feel the despairs and the pain hidden behind those disturbing words. Noir would clench her fist and let out a sigh as she moving on as the gate was already in an eyesight, but would quickly be halted by this even stronger foul stench. Her eyes widened and she would reflectively pinching her nose to block the stench to get into her nose. Her heart was racing even faster as she got a feeling that something would come, but it was a mere excitement instead of worry. “Sessho, prepare yourself.” She would say to the redhead as she gripped her staff tight.

But it was all happening so fast, just when the source of the foul stench, the swarm of undead were appearing. Just after that, a stranger who seemed to know how to use magic appeared and dealt with the undead. The black haired girl tilted her head as she watched how the male magician’s fight though, although what piqued her interest was the book that he was holding. Mind you though, Noir was a book maniac and she had never seen that book before, thus it became her short termed goal to know what kind of book that the magician was holding.

Noir quickly snapped from her mind as Shousui warned the group about the thing from the sky and she remembered what Sesshomaru said about his feeling about that thing. She would grip her staff tighter, but it was a little bit late as the fiery thing could easily defeat the seemingly strong spell that was cast by the male magician and now he was burning in pain. It struck Noir’s thought… the burning corpses from before… was this caused by that fiery boy…? She had to heal him, but it would be too dangerous if she didn’t do anything. “Sesshomaru, let’s grab him and head towards the gate.” She would whisper to the redhead before focusing back towards the fire wraith.

“Draco Saltatio, don’t let him pass…” She cast her spell as she point her staff, summoning a water dragon to block the fiery boy’s way before adding some more power into it. “Run!” She would say to her group and would run as fast as she can towards the gate alongside with Shousui who was mounting Haku. However, she would keep an eye towards the wraith just in case he break through the water dragon.

Skills/Traits:

As they continued he was almost over taken by the strong , foul odor of death. It was unlike anything he had smelled before, as if this whole area was full of rotting corpses. He heard noir warn him and grew excited when 15 skeletons in armor appeared. They didn't look like they would be friendly like the zombies so this was finally his chance to do what he came here for, to fight monsters. He was in mid step when the skeletons were magically scooped up and immediately crushed. When he saw this he cried out, "Noooo!" this was finally his chance to fight monsters for the first time in his life and just like that some stranger in fancy clothes and with a fancy book came up and killed them! His prey, his targets, his obstacles to pass his limits, his skeletons! He was just about to say something to the stranger when something else appeared, a boy with flames around him. Sessho grins feeling the familiar danger and aura he felt from the orb in the sky, this is it, this must be the most powerful monster here and it was all his to fight. However once again before he could act the man casted another spell at the monster kid only to get hurt himself. His eyes turn read and he grins ready to fight the monster but sees the man get hurt and curses. As much as he wanted to fight the monster, his Code of Adventurers that he made for himself  said he had to do something else. Rule number 1: Despite everything else including the other rules, help those in need first. He sighs and picks up the man as noir suggested already going to do it anyways. He starts grinning again as it was his nature to shake off any negative feeling he had for the sake of being am adventurer. He tosses the man over his shoulder shocked to see noir cast a spell. Noir was a magician! All frustration he felt was replaced by surprise, he assumed she was a warrior but here she was using magic! He would have to talk to her about this later.

He takes one last longful look at the wraith looking at it as if it was if saying goodbye to a lover that he would never see again and looks away running to the gate at his full Sessho speed looking around for anything between the wraith and the gate that may be be hints to secrets held here. Touching the gate once he gets to it.

The group would be able to move past the fire wraith easily. The young boy had to deal with the magma from his own attacks along with a dragon of water. It would allow them to get away and now return the favor to their savior. It was only a slight advantage in the moment as they got closer to the gate. As they had gotten closer to the gate the would feel a powerful growing heat. It was the wraith, he was using his Swelling Inferno. The boy was now turning into a beast. His presence was now a lingering, burning force. They would be able to hear the power in his voice, the anger burning inside them all.


"YOU WILL BE FORGED, FORCE FATE FOUGHT FOR OR AGAINST MEANS NAUGHT TO A WEAK BLADE!!"

He would send out a massive Forging Inferno towards the two of them. They still had the chance to touch the gate and escape, it seemed like if they wanted to fight it that there would still be a challenge. The two would be able to tell that fighting this thing was not an option that they would enjoy.

As anger filled the room the rays of hope would be able to move forward, protecting their ally in hopes that the next room would bring safety or a chance to heal their ally. They now had the chance to move forward.

Noir and Sessho would feel an odd kindness following them as they moved forward in the room approaching the gate. When they saw the gate an intense passion of all sorts of burning intense emotions would course through them. It showed dying people, angels, chimera, red lions and all sorts of beings reaching towards a sky, a burning bright flame as darkness came to consume and kill them all.

DM notes: Free to touch the gate and move on, if not forging inferno headed towards you.


Dm notes: Fire wraith is 5m infront of you all, Emile is on the ground before you both. His burning radiance is in effect, gate is 30m behind you if looking at the Wraith.

The warrior did not expect the warm sensation he felt, something the complete opposite of the pure rage and hatred coming from the flaming monster begin him. Then he saw a image of creatures he had never seen before, winged people, some kind of red cat looking things maybe, he was not sure what they were but he was sure that he was stronger than them. However what really caught his eyes were the last creature, a being with the features of a dog on a humanoid body, dog men. He couldn't believe it, the woman wasn't crazy after all, she kept shouting about dog people and he assumed thay she was insane. This image proves it! There was at least dog people in the past when this city existed, could this mean that there are dog monsters in the modern time? Either way he would have to fund out after the dungeon. There was more to the picture then just the creatures tho, some kind of darkness.  Seeing the image it was clear that this flaming boy was not the thing in the sky that the writings warned about. Perhaps the boy is just a victim of the darkness. Well either way, it wasn't for him to decide now, he needed to explore even more now. He reaches out and touches the gate while holding onto the man. He was planning on telling noir that he actually knows about the dog people in the image omce they were through the gate.

As she was running, the black haired girl looked behind sometimes to check on the boy and was surprised when he began to yell. ‘…a weak blade? What does he mean by that…’ Noir wondered to herself, feeling a little bit annoyed because that might be him saying her group as a coward. But there was nothing she could do, there was someone who need to be healed and instead of sacrificing that one soul, Noir would rather ignore the words muttered by the boy who was now transformed into a fiery beast.

Noir was not even sure if she could win against that fiery beast, not because she thought that she was not strong enough, but more like worried about something and she wasn’t able to describe it. Putting that aside, Noir and her group would be running towards the gate with all their might and as soon as they touched the gate, they would be safe from that beast…hopefully.

She, Haku and Shousui would touch the gate at the same time when they got in the range and there was this weird sensation… a vision about creatures that Noir never seen before. There was a red beast as well and Noir could only guess that they were this Red Lions, a creature that were mentioned in the carvings on the Shrouded Isle. But this vision about dying people made Noir frown, especially when there was a darkness that came and erase everything…. What was that darkness… and what was this vision about.

Once she came to her sense, the first thing she would do was to heal the man based on the reaction of the burning corpses from before when she healed them. So Noir would infuse some of her magoi into her healing bracelet and she would began to heal the man before sustaining it 3 more times. "Do you feel better?" Noir would ask the man after she healed him, "Who are you? Why are you here?". Right after that, she would look around to see if all people in the group made it to the next area before looking around to see the current area.

Notes: Touched the gate, gave Emile 2 A-tier healing.

Skill/item used:

As the chilling embrace of the nice room invited them in the group would all feel free from the burning anger, and fury that resonated from within and around them before. Just like with most dungeon rooms, they would be blinded by a flash the moment they touched the gate. As their vision would soon fade back they would see a cold, soft world of white and blues, as the beautiful hues soon began to fade into shapes they would all tumble forward. They had a chance to move, to regroup.


While they had taken the time to heal their allies wound they would get to see what the midway looked like. The massive hall seemed to be endless, they end was just barely in their vision but it still felt endless. The crashing white waves of ice the froze the walls, floors, and ceiling. Over the ornate blue pillars and the beautiful dance floor covered in a veil of ice tinting, it's color. It was a beautiful moment frozen in time. There would be a strong aura of sadness radiating forth from it. However, there was a stronger source of it. They would sense it from the windows, from the wall behind them.

The young man would reply while looking out towards one of the windows. "MY name is Viaval, I'm a magician from Magnostadt. I explore and research things for those not strong enough." He would wince for a second, as the pain faded he felt lighter and the words came out easier. "I saw you in need of aid so I came to help, the power of the spirit seemed rather strong. I'm glad we didn't have to fight it."

However, his words were like a jynx, all three would sense it all around them. The white paned walls were only showing the frozen outside, cold seeped into the room. As the room started to chill all but Noir they would wonder as a loud thumping could be felt behind them. The wall behind them started to reverberate. It was shaking with a violent force. They would need to move soon. They were all healthy at the moment. The wall would burst in only a matter of seconds. Something was coming, something was coming to trap them in this frozen world.

Dm notes: The Midway is 300m long, get ready for a chase next post.

Players have 48 hours to respond to the post, after 48 hours there will be an automatic proxy post.

Noir wouldnt lie to herself when she thought the room that they were in was...breathtaking, it was pretty and it felt calm there. Although the calmness felt a little bit weird for her as it felt too calm for a dungeon, as if something would happen soon. Not to mention the strong force that she felt from the windows and the wall behind her, it made her worry that something might be coming for them. She was glad that the man looked like he was feeling better, especially when he could speak and was willing to answer the black haired girl's question.

"Magnostadt?" She asked back to Viaval, although she knew that it was a little bit rude giving that kind of reaction, so she cleared her throat before introducing herself. "It was rude of me, my name is Noir and my liger here is Haku, pleased to meet you and thank you for your help earlier." The older magician would introduce herself as well after Noir done and then would let Sesshomaru to introduce himself if he wanted to.

"I feel a little bit cold... it gets chilly suddenly." Shousui would tell Noir as soon as she felt the cold creeping to her skin and the black haired girl would command her liger to make his body temperature warm so the older magician and the Fanalis could feel warmerr. But it was strange... how come she didn't feel the cold... Perhaps it was the flame that vanished into her body from earlier? She was not sure but at the moment, she could hear a loud thumping sound coming from behind them, as if there would be a swarm of something causing a stampede. "I don't know why, but I think we should get away from here..." Shousui would give her suggestion to Noir and the latter would agree, "I agree... or we might be stepped to death by whatever coming for us." Noir would let Viaval to mount Haku as well, sitting behind Shousui who was already on top of the liger. The male magician, Shousui and Sesshomaru would feel warmer as well because of Haku's warming ability, so for now they didn't have to worry about the cold. "Let's go... " She would say before making the move with the others.

The Red Head wonder looked around in amazement once again as he saw how drastically different this part of the dungeon was from the other. They went from a burning ruins to a frozen tundra. He had never seen snow and ice before so he was even more excited. His ears perked up when he heard the magic man say he was an explorer. He would pat the man in the back a bit too hard and laugh,"what a coincidence magic man, I too am an explorer. Sesshomaru, The Red Fist is what they call me." he would say lying, he just wanted a cool nickname, somet ing everyone wpuld know one day. "I forgive you for killing the monsters I claimed dibs on. We shall become comrades once we complete this adventure my friend and you will tell me of your great stories." he says beginning to feel the chill but brushed it off as he had more important things to worry about. He sensed the same thin noir did coming to them and agreed that they should leave now, form magic man's sake. He would pick up Viaval and omce again sling the man over his. shoulder. "I shall carry you magic man. While you may have magic, my trusty legs, Thunder and Lightning are much faster then your puny legs." he would say laughing before taking off in a full sprint towards the same direction as noir with the magic man on his shoulder.

As the group had the moment to sit around and gain their senses they carried a little convo. However, they would all be aware that they had to move forward. They would move quickly, almost like rushing forces of power. The fanalis offered to carry the magician but he would decline. "I appreciate it, but can carry myself for sure. Especially if we need to get moving quickly." There was a certain edge to his reply but it was harmless. Flicking forward his arm he opened his book once again. The book giving a soft glow as his voice would sound firm, and powerful.

"Planetary Creation: Mercury!" The earth would lift around him, forming a silver shell, filled with glowing energy. Inside he would be safe from attacks, and he still had his book in hand. Soon the silver shell would start to accelerate, keeping up with the fanalis speeds. The silver shot would move forward with his group, however, they would feel it rush upon them. The wind was approaching. The blue winds would rush in as the wall near the entrance shattered.


Ice and stone blew forth as the colors of the cold, the frost began to dance into the art. The dance painted the sky with its colors until it moved into something moving. The face of a woman had rushed in, forming from the solid cold outside the midway. Her sad expression peered into them, even if they chose not to look back at the woman they would feel her. They could feel all the melancholy, and sorrow creeping to grab them. None were weak enough but she wished to take them, to possess them.

There would be no immediate attack from the wraith, however, there would be her Cruel Winter's Night. It was the very source of coldness the had frosted over and froze the entire structure. It was coming for them. She would be rather close as well, despite their start she would catch up to be 5m behind the group. Just waiting to attack, to see what they would do. The cold was coming, however, and they couldn't stop.

The light was powerful, but sometimes the fog and veil hit the rays of the sun. Would warmth shine through? It was daunting, they felt the room speaking to them like the one before. Despair, sadness, and melancholy. various woes and feelings of dread made up the atmosphere. How would they work they way through these waves of sadness?

As the feelings would antagonize their group the wraith would begin to speak. She spoke as soon as they were 50m ventured into the room. For now, the cold was ready, she was ready to attack. Her voice like a decorated noose tugging on their necks, beautiful but deadly.

"You wish to win and wade your way through these woes? You've given nothing, you are not worthy, so much was given, why do you deserve, why-why?

She would shoot an Icicle Shot towards each member, four in total. The spears of ice would fly forth to seal their fate. They had to act fast before these sad shots impaled them.

DM notes. Wraith 5m behind, 50m traveled into the room, 250m left in the room. Icicles heading towards each member of the party.

Ice Wraith:

Sessho huffs as the magic man refuses his help. What could this guy do that was as fast as his legs, maybe he had some special magic spell. He smiles and looks as he is running and sees the man encase himself in a sphere of flying earth and he thought thay was a really cool thing. "Cool.
I wanna ride!" he says with a lot of enthusiasm and jumps into the sphere standing on top of it as it flies through the room. If he successfully stays standing on it he would shout triumphantly, he did it. He would here the ice wraith and turn around and see the monster. He smiles and reaches back and grabs his bisento holding it in both hands firmly. The woman was shouting some nonsense so he would replay shouting. "I don't know who you think you are but I and Sesshomaru! I will be the greatest adventurer and you shall one day fear my name!" He grins as he sees the monster woman shoot icicles at them, he would shout at the others, "watch out! We have attacks!" he would face the wraith with his feet speed apart and hands on the opposite ends of his bisento adding extra force scaling his defense up to A tier before using Bisento Defense to parry am icicle batting it away. if he succeeds he would shout with triumph wondering if noir and shousui wpuld be okay.

The bad feeling from before proved her instinct, they were lucky that they were able to put up some distance before the wall shattered. Not only that, Viaval who she offered to mount Haku so he could be warm decided to use his own magic to make his ride, once again making Noir curious to the book that he was using as his medium to cast magic. Despite all of that, Noir would take a chance to look back to see what was coming for them and much to her surprise, it was a woman. Not any ordinary woman as she seemed was made from ice with a sad expression carved on her face. But Noir knew she shouldn't stare too much, especially when it felt like she was equally dangerous as the fiery boy from the previous room and that she began to cast a spell to make this icy cold mist to follow her trail.

The ice lady spoke to them after that while still chasing them and her voice elevated her beauty, although in a more creepy way especially with the nonsense that she spit towards the group. She sounded hysteric, strange and...desperate as if she was in a great despair, well at least for Noir it was the impression that she had towards the ice lady. "Then are you worthy?" Noir would reply the wraith with a cold tone and there was no expression carved on her face like usual while she get her shield ready to deal with the icicle that was coming towards her. The young magician would use the shield's skill, glaring red gaze to block the incoming icicle before asking the wraith while she kept running towards the end of the area, "What are you? Were you born from the same creator as that fiery boy? and..." Noir paused her words for a second, “and what is this sad feeling about?”

Meanwhile, Shousui would dismount Haku and quickly use her Snaking stab to deal with the icicle, her stab would be enough to break the icicle or at least stopped it from dealing any harm. "Ahh... The weeping lady is pretty good at this..." A chuckle would come from Shousui as she spoke. At the same time, Haku would harden his body into steel and making it a level stronger before he deal with the incoming icicle as well, blocking it using his natural skill.   The older woman would mount Haku again right after both of them finished dealing with the icicles, now running with Noir and the rest of the groups.

Magoi/Stamina: 432/180

CD: Noir/Haku/Shousui used A-tier worth skill to stop the icicle. Now running towards the end of the room.

Skill/Item used:

The ice would turn to dust as the group would manage to deal with the icicles. The piercing blades of ice would break against their defenses. Emile would race in his shell, his book glowing. Planetary Creation: Uranus.Blue dust and clouds would form a solid round sphere which would quickly take in the spear of ice then disappear. More dread filled the Ice Wraith, she gave a slight cry out. Pursuing them further the amount of sorrow radiating began to get more intense. This chase was only getting more intense.

Racing past the pillars and icy surroundings they would get a close glimpse of the room as it slowly destroyed. For only moments after passing the wraith would be there, the outside would consume and destroy the rest of the structure. The cold was consuming, it was going to eat them up too if they slowed down at all. However, it wasn't the only lingering force.

The sadness that was hanging in the air began to eat away them all. They could feel the woes, worries and loses of those here before them. It was like the room was whispering them. Slipping sad thoughts into their heads, reminding them of pains, of the past. It was looming, a power of its own. There was no threat to it, but it was invading their state of mind. They had to face themselves.

Facing, racing forward, white wisps of snow licked their face. The winds had blown in far enough to reach them. It burned as it ran across their skin. The cold would protrude in farther as the spirit would continue her attack. She took a breath, filling the air into kisses, sending forth Four Winter's Kisses. The snowballs would roll forward into existence from the kisses. Instead of affection, or care, these kisses would only bring pain, longing, and restriction.

As danger came from them they would feel power ahead. There was something further in the room, however, they had now made 100m in, there were now 200m left.

Dm Notes: Wraith 5m behind, using 4 winters kisses to attack each target.

Ice Wraith:
