Strongest Under The Sun

The man was about to speak to Ilirran, however Yakuroro explained that he was in a hurry and didn't have time for the man's words. When he explained that he was concerned that there might be others of the same type around, the official became even more worried than before. "Y-y-you think so? W-w-well I think it's even more important that you take your prize, Asisiak. It's a Bottomless Gourd. A magical item prized by many of those from Heliohapt, and is often the most aimed-for prize. If you're going to try to save others, it may come in handy..." The official stumbled and hurriedly threw the 1.5 meter gourd to the Imuchakk as if it were nothing. Yakuroro, if he caught it, he would find it uncharacteristically light.


The man turned to Ilirran next. "Sorry, sir, I haven't forgotten your prize. This box contains a magical item that is said to allow it's user to gauge an opponent's strengths, allowing you to..." The official was about to say 'avoid danger', but a single look at the Imuchakk made it apparent that this would not sound impressive. "Choose more interesting fights." He spoke with a decided finality.


OOC:

Yakuroro's Gourd:

Ilirran's Spectacles:

The vines which had grabbed the carpet where out of Akatetsu's sight so at first he simply thought the carpet was somehow damaged or broken. Panicked, the chimera tried to speed up, but despite the magic tools strength, the magical vines were stronger. "Gy-Gyao! Gyao! GYAAAAOOO!" Thinking he was crash landing, Akatetsu flailed his arms not really knowing what else to do. But as he got closer and closer to the cool shaded ground of an alley way, it became apparent that he was falling at a rather slow rate. The baby bone head sighed in relief and turned around to see what had been tugging his carpet to the earth.


"Gyao!" an excited look came over the beasts face as he saw a familiar face. Non other than the magician who had created him, Lady Soushui, was standing before Akatetsu holding up a wand that had vines growing from its handle. "It's been quite some time Akatetsu, have you been well?" Her kind voice incited an leaping hug from the baby and a reunion embrace followed. The female magician stepped onto the carpet which had fallen to the floor with no one to pilot it and took control before flying off with a very happy chimera in hand.




The Imuchakk Magician accepted his reward with a fake smile and looked at it for a moment.  Perhaps there would be a use for this thing some other day, but Yakuroro was a water magician. What use would he have for a large water gourd when he could simply create his own water. He used whatever strapping the official had used to wear the thing on his back to do the same and hefted the gourd not taking the time to examine it thoroughly enough to notice the magic circle carved into its inner walls. "Thank you for this prize, I shall cherish it greatly." but in truth at the moment Yakuroro was thinking about how best to sell off or give away such a trinket not realizing its true value just yet.

Yakuroro would take a moment to turn to Ilirran and nod to him, "Well fought warrior, the credit for felling the demon is yours. May the most bountiful bosom in the land smile upon you. I am off to look for more in need of help!" Then, with a wink, Yakuroro turned to take his leave, waving at the two without looking back.

Ilirran stared at the Imuchakk who declared himself Asisiak and wondered at the bold-faced lie. With a meaty hand, Ilirran grabbed the magician's chest, "This is no bountiful bosom!"

The leopard headed Imuchakk would have said more, but the official distracted him by handing him a box. Ilirran opened the box to find a pair of glasses resting on a cushion. With a curious look in his eye, Ilirran looked back up to the official and was informed that they would help him find interesting fights. With a feline grin, Ilirran slapped the officials shoulder, "Thank you! Hopefully I find more black demons like that guy! He was an interesting enemy."

The magician complimented his warrior sense before leaving Ilirran and the official alone. "I don't know if I trust that one..." With the competition ruined and the screams from the city, Ilirran decided to follow the magician to see what was going on.
