Introduction
The Spiritplane, the place where spirits go when they are released from their human body, becaame blocked. Spirits could no longer enter the Spiritplane, they were stuck at the plane of the living. After a while, these spirits became fiends that haunted the living and risked their safety. People learned to fight and to defend themselves.
But because of the increased amount of spirits in the plane of the living, the plane was also filled with extra much energy. This energy, people were able to learn how to control in many different ways. Temple were brought up to help people in their quest to evolve in the branch of energy controlling they have. These temples are filled with mental or physical tests and when fullfilling these tests, the person will get enlightment and be granted energy and evolve in their branch. The temples are bigger than any other buildings in Valyone, which is needed to be able to have one test for each branch. The branches of energy controlling is many and all have different skills.
A person can later on in their training, after the person have visited 3 temples, choose an secondary/sub branch to train in and then use along side the main branch. However, there is some branches that can´t be combined with a sub-branch, often because of the various or big development a person can reach in the branch. In all of this chaos there is a group of people that joins together to search for the truth why fiends have started to appear and how they could stop it. Will they find the many secrets that has been hidden for as long as anyone can remember on the way?
Energy-bending Branches ( These are the branches all roleplayers choose from to give to their characther(s) )
Characters that are created will start with one of these branches and can after they visited three temples, get a sub branch to practice together with the main branch. After you have trained your main and sub branch you will get a secret branch that is a mix of your two branches, to train with, so you don´t get bored! ;) Some of these branches may seem unextraordinary but their attacks and way of fighting can be very effective. Like the "Hunters", they may seem normal and don´t need extra energy to master, but their attacks are a little matrix like and extreme balance and speed are needed. So please, try not to make a character that has a branch that someone else allready has made. Exceptions can be made.
Warrior
Warriors are well, warriors, that rely much on strength and not so much on speed. Because of their lack of speed, they are a great target for fiends.

In this world there is five different continents that is pretty big and it covers the whole planet. The Continents are as follows:
Gwandlor
This is the continent furtherst to the west. The continent consist of about 18 countries and almost all of them are a little like islands. But there is a difference. most of those floating countries are to a little part connected to other countries with some miles of land that is hard to see if looking at a map. Though, there is some countries that isn´t like islands at all, they are buncehd together like a normal continent. The weather is really hot or sometimes, if lucky, a littly windy or rainy. Gwandlors foremost nature settings is deserts and plains.
Kal´uka
This is the continent furtherst to the north. The continent is pretty small and consists only of 13 countries. The continent looks almost like a crescent on a map , there is just some countries that isn´t connected with the rest. The weather in this continent is mostly cold but on the summer the temprature is a little warmer. Kal´uka foremost nature setting is mountains and acres.
Sunar
This is the continent that is most central and there is here the adventure begin. The continent is the biggest of all of them with a total of 21 countries. The continent looks like the diamond symbol on cards if you have a little imagination. Some countries is barely or not connected with the rest. The weather can vary and is often chosen as a vaccation location. Sunars foremost nature settings is forests.
Lunuga
This is the continent furtherst to the east. 19 countries helps to build this continent. Lunuga looks almost like a circle and isn´t far from "Sunar". There is a couple of countries that is a little away from the rest. The weather in Lunuga is pretty rainy and sometimes sunny or just windy. Lunugas foremost nature settings is swamps, forests and plains.
Yngda´zil
This is the continent furtherst to the south. There is 16 countries on this continent. The continent doesen´t have a real shape, it is pretty up to the person himself/herself to figure out what it looks like. The weather in Yngda´zil is hot and sometimes rainy. Yngda´zil foremost nature settings is djungle and forests
To make things easier all people in Valyone talks the same language, "Valish". But we write in english of course.
The group of people that the characters will play as will meet fiends on the way and learn new attacks, those systems, like how the fiend move, think or how it attacks, will be controlled by my Co. GM and me. Even what the fiend drops, like items and weapon, armours or materials will be chosen by her. But I promise everyone that it will be handled in a correct way. I thought that when the group will fight fiends, that you could control your characters actions and attacks. Like if you have a character that have Black Mage as branch, then they can start with him/her being able to strike enemies with lightning and when your character meet a fiend you can describe your character axcessing a power within the person and how a lightning attacks from the sky, then my CO GM will describe the fiend being hit by the lightning. Try not to make your character do overpowered attacks. The roleplay will start with that the different people joins together and then they decide to go out on their quest, go to temples and also meet many other things and people on theor way. So it is kinda of an open roleplay and the things the group do can be discussed. Everyone will meet at "The Festival of Eno/Light" in the big city of Crystalania.

Chrim wondered why the heck they chose a voice and face like that to represent Crystilanias big broadcast. But, done is done. Chrim was sitting in Crystalanias most famous tavern, "The Drunken Oak", drinking a beer. After all, it was a special occasion. Otherwise, he wouldn´t have ordered the beer, he got drunk so easily, but lucky for him, he knew his own limit. The chair he sat on was very comfortable, even after sitting in it for two hours or so. It was made of oak and was covered by a Grobbs fur and was filled with a Fendlits feathers. He knew this because he was the one who hunted down the fiends necessary to build those chairs. He was good friend with the tavern owner and because of that favour, Chrim had free food, drinks and if he had his ways around Crystilania, a place to stay for a whole year. Chrim took his glass of beer to his lips and felt the cooling liquid running down his throat. He needed some company, Chrim started to be annoyed by his own thoughts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob heard the broadcast even though he still was a few miles away from Crystilania. When he heard the part of extra price on food and drinks, Jacob started drooling before he wiped it off with his arm. He hadn´t eaten anything really cooked for about a week. He wanted to see the spicened meat in front of him and just swallow it whole. He just had to fight the urges to eat in a couple of minutes more. Jacob forced his legs to take one step after another The last meat he had eaten was from a fiend he killed in the forest and that was four days ago and the taste was awful. Otherwise his diet had been bread, fruits and berries. The road he was walking on was pretty straight and it led directly in to the city. Jacob couldn´t really see the city and the celibrations because of the walls surrounding the city. It was two guards on each side of the south gate, the one he was going to enter any moment now. Jacob could easily kill them, they were obviously not trained guards. But when you have travelling pass, you just had to show it and you would get free passage out and in in the most cities. Crystilania was one of them. Jacob had finally reached the gate. One of the guards, he had blonde hair and blue eyes said with a commanding tone of voice. "Travelling Pass!" Jacob calmly took out his travelling passage and showed it. The other guard took it and inspected it. He had brown eyes and black hair. "Access Granted!" He gave back the travelling pass to Jacob and he entered Crystalania. Jacob almost ran around the streets to find a tavern. He found one pretty quickly. "The Drunken Oak"? Jacob was so hungry that he didn´t even care if the tavern was good or not. He just straightened his body and went with confident steps towards the tavern.

She sat with her back against a tree behind a bush, the perfect spot to watch other travelers, but to not be seen herself. She could see the two guards standing by the front gate, she could see the giant walls reaching to the heavens seeming to be endlessly high, she could see birds and other creatures scurrying around in play and forest survival. But she could hear nothing. Complete silence surrounded her everywhere, where ever she went. By now she was used to it, but she longed to hear what those birds that hopped around the tree sounded like, what the laughter of children inside the walls of Crystilania was like. These wishes and hopes, though, she knew were fruitless. All they were now were just mindless fantasies. She sighed, her chest falling dramatically as it released the gust of breath. 'Nothing to do but wait,' She thought to herself.

Cha'tima bounced through the city that was so full of energy. His tail swished happily whenever he paused on a pole or wall. Children would point at him and grab their mother's arm, excited to see the monkey. The mother would shriek and chase him away. He knew his job, though no one had told him, but he had done it so many times no one needed to. He came to a place that smelled strongly of food and following his stomach he swung to it gleefully.
He flew to the sign swinging on it, back and forth, back and forth, letting loose his funny monkey laugh. He switched to his tail, now hanging upside down and looked around. A man walking towards where he was, the children all laughing and pointing at him, had short white hair and a white cape around his mouth. Cha'tima saw in his pocket a traveling pass. He then flew behind a flag and crawled down. The man got closer and soon Cha'tima slipped his hand into the man's pocket grabbing his traveling pass and quickly, before the man could catch him, swung to a high flag pole screeching as he swung away with his prize.

Walking along she happened to hear a monkey screeching. Following the noise with her ears she saw a monkey swinging away on a flag pole. "How cute, but what's it doing running around? Especially in a town like this... Oof, I've done it again." She then noticed something in it's hands, she couldn't quite tell what it was but she thought that the monkey was just bringing it to it's owner so she didn't care much about it. Then a sign caught her attention, The Drunken Oak? That doesn't sound like a place with good food, and I'm not into drinking. Although I have heard about it a lot even for the short time I've been here. I'll try it after I've eaten.

She walked up and down the streets keeping her eyes peeled for thieves and what not. She walked over, in her usual way, strong, but swaggered, to a large crowd (mostly males) that were cheering and throwing jeers at whoever was in the middle. This large group was not too far away from a tavern that read "The Drunken Oak".
She quickly pushed her way through, ignoring the hoots, cat calls, and wolf-whistles. In the middle of the crowd were two men fighting, and not the regular fighting (such as fencing, ect.), but her kind of fighting. Dirty fighting, street fighting, no rules. There was one man on a large box that he was using as a stage, yelling things and holding up a small pocket bag that she could only assume was filled with money. She cracked a small smile, thinking she needed some more money and what a great way to obtain it. The fight ended quickly after she had arrived, the winner with his arm being raised by the man that was on the stage in a victory stance, covered in what would some day be scars. The loser on the ground unconscious covered in blood and cuts like the winner, except worse.
After the winner made some few words with the organizer guy, he shouted looking at the crowd, "Who will dare to be the next to challenge me!". Miranda looked around at the crowd as well, marking them all as cowards, who coward and didn't make eye contact with him. She then looked at the man and stepped forward. He, among others, began to laugh.
"Look! A stupid girl thinks she can take me on!" the winner laughed.
"I don't think I can beat you. I know I can," Miranda said, snapping her fingers, "Just like that". Seeing that she was serious and wouldn't back down the organizer came down and took her bag saying she would get it back after the fight. "I better or you're going to get twice as much as him," she answered. The winner threw the bag of money to the organizer as the prize and took his fighting stance. Miranda just smiled wider and took her own.
The organizer jumped up quickly on his little stage, out of the way, before shouting, "BEGIN!" When this was heard the big man she was fighting ran at. She ducked, spinning her leg around tripping him. He stumbled, but quickly regaining his balance. This time he found her close enough that he didn't have to get closer to attack. He threw her punch after punch. They were strong she had to admit, after being hit a couple times in the face (which now gave her a bloody nose and a black eye later), but they were nothing she couldn't handle. She threw back to him punches as well, but also kicks. The two went at it, and since there were no rules, that meant that it would last till either of them passed out or died.
Now they had both given and received several strong blows and were covered in each others blood, with cuts, bruises, and sweat and dirt. They were now circling each other, fists raised.
"You're good," Miranda said through her heaving breath.
"Back at you," the man answered. Miranda gave a breathy laugh.
"You're good, but not enough to beat me," she said. This pissed the man off, he broke the circling by running at her, this time keeping his guard up this time if she tried to trip him again. She just stood where she was, keeping her ground. When he was finally close enough, she shifted her stance to where it would be hard to push her over and raised a fist at his gut. He ran right into it, causing himself to be thrown backwards, his head nearly being the first thing that hit the ground. But the same time of impact there was a loud crack, as Miranda's bone broke under the pressure. She winced and pulled her right arm back to protect it, but there was still a smile on her face. Not her usual smile that was hardly noticeable, but a wide smile. Nothing thrilled her more than being in this kind of danger.

Not really knowing what held her in that spot, she just watched the fight. She didn't smile, clap, cheer, or even moved Naru just watched with awe if even that. They were both taking hard hits and she just wanted to go and help both of them, but running in might cause her to be injured. Not until the woman knocked the man down and she heard a loud crack did she run on to the 'arena.' Instinctively she ran up to the woman and said, "Oh my, you broke your arm. Let me help you," Naru placed her hands over the woman's arm and let off a bright light. Healing the cuts and bruises on her would take only seconds but a broken arm would take days or even weeks to heal even with her powers.
"I'm sorry if I take away the thrill of the fight but fighting with a broken bone would not be fair, I would still advise you to not fight. My healing powers can only make your arm move with minimum pain but not make it fully healed." She looked up and smiled at her, "At least don't use your arm to cave his chest in will you?"

She stood up from her spot, alarming the guards slightly. They shifted into a more secure stance, raising their weapons slightly.
"Who are you? Why were you hiding?" one of them asked. Her head had been turned when he asked, so she didn't realize he had said anything. She looked over at the guards and noticed that one, the one that had spoken, looked a bit meaner than the other.
"Don't ignore me. Who are you?" he practically yelled. Keezheekoni walked up to the man.
"Just an orphan, sir," she said in a whisper, though she only wanted to use a slightly quieter tone to calm him. The guard thinking she was scared changed his stance into what it was.
"Can I see your Traveling pass, miss?" he asked. She held it up to him, he analyzed it and handed it back to her, slightly stepping to the side to let her pass. She walked inside, the anticipation nearly overwhelming. This would be her first time into a different city. She wanted to know everything about it, what it looked like, how people dressed, acted, talked, what they ate and drank. Her mind was swimming with these thoughts as she took her first step into this new place.
---
Inside the walls was like nothing Keezheekoni had seen before. It was so much bigger than the town that her adopted family lived in and far more decorated. There were strings of lights, banners, and shimmering fabric everywhere. Tons of people filled the streets, so much so that it was near impossible to even move. As she walked she could see people smiling and laughing and enjoying the day even though it felt like an oven to her. She kept her head scarf up though, not wanting to be recognized, even though she was far from her adopted parents house she still felt like someone was following her.
As she walked on, people would shove her out of their way to make it to the place they needed to go, which would then throw her into someone else's way and the process would happen all over again. She finally made it into an empty alley where she could catch her breath. As she breathed in, though, she got a strong whiff of cooked meat, baked bread, and freshly brewed beer. Her mouth watered with the thought of food, but then her mind zeroed in on her empty purse. She sighed sadly and walked further down the alley. At the end of the building with the delicious smelling food there was a pile of half eaten loaves of bread and carcasses of birds and other animals with meat still on it. Knowing she would never be able to get anything like this without money, she walked over, sitting down next the pile and choosing a loaf of bread that was near her to start with, and began to dig into the pile of trash.
---
Cha helped Keezheekoni dig through the pile, giving her pieces of meat and bread and whatever else he found, while also stealing pieces of food for himself too. That's when he heard a door open and a great burst of joyous noise coming through, along with smells like never before. Giving up on discarded food and wanting the real stuff, Cha leaped off the pile and ran towards the open back door.
Once inside Cha leaped from shadow to shadow, knowing to stay out of sight. He now crouched behind a plant that was next to a chair that was covered in fur and feathers with a young man with long dark hair and a spear next to him drinking a dark brown liquid. Thirsty Cha slowly peaked out, his throat saturated and in dire need of something to drink. Unfortunately he leaned too far out and was soon spotted by this man, he froze in fear, waiting to see what the man would do, if he would reach for his spear or hopefully give him some of the liquid.

"You better get out before you get hurt," Miranda silently whispered to the girl. The girl didn't move though, just stood there letting a white light over her arm. She gave a quick glance to the man she was fighting who was standing back up and looked like a bull ready to charge. The girl said something, but Miranda ignored her, quickly pushing the naive girl back into the crowd. She had only a split second to think of a way to knock the oaf back down or she would be. The thought did come to her. She bent down and when the man was in the right spot, about a foot away from her, she lifted him up over her head throwing him down on the other side of her. She did this in a perfect arch. When he was down she delivered the final blow, punching him in the middle of his face with her right arm having his head smack down on the ground. He was then unconscious.
Silence filled the area, then cheering screams filled the air, even those who were yelling against her to win were cheering. The organizer shot down and held her arm in the air with such pride you would've thought they knew each other. After a long period of the organizer showing Miranda off and mass amounts of cheering, Miranda walked over to him and took the bag of money, her prize, from his belt and her bag that was full of armor from the stage.
She saw the caring girl still in the audience and walked over to her. Taking out her prize money, pulling out a small handful of gold pieces.
"Here," Miranda said holding out her hand the remains of her thrilled smile still ghosting on her face, "You deserve it. Healing like that, doesn't come cheap. Trust me, you've earned it".

The cheers almost deafened her and she was on the brink of yelling with them. After the celebrations this woman approached her again with a hand full of gold coins which she offered to her.
"Oh no, you earned all of that, besides I cheated and fixed your arm. Although I'm glad you beat him, he could have injured me badly the way he was coming at you. Let's just call it even and if you want me to, I could stay around you and heal your arm until it's fully healed then we could talk about a price." Of course she was joking about the money, helping someone recover can't be repaid in currency but rather in friendship or something close to it.
"You would have to be around me for a few days until your arm would be in fit fighting shape, much shorter than it would take to fix itself naturally. So, what do you say?"

"I'm Randy by the way," Miranda said as they entered. She turned to the bartender and having to yell over the noise ordered them two beers. When the bartender brought them their drinks Miranda set down two gold coins in payment. "So tell me about yourself chérie. What's your name? Why are you here?" she asked taking a big swig of beer, letting the liquid flow down her throat as blood from her nose and other cuts as well flowed from their place, but she ignored the pain as if nothing had happened.
Others stared at them, mostly at Miranda because of how she was covered in cuts, bruises, and dirt and probably didn't smell all too nice, but she ignored them like she ignored the piercing pain. There were also a couple guys who were checking both of them out, intensely and not very subtly either. This made Miranda's eyes harden, but she tried to make them as soft as possible as she listened in to what this kind and ignorant girl had to say.

As the box dances the old gadgeteer drew his arms back hands out reached from him as he began to speak in a loud voice. “Come one, come all see the dancing box. Watch as this little sprite of a thing move about with only a turn of a key.” Turning from the crowd Jing stepped out of the way of a young woman who was dressed a long flowing dress with a thin leather apron with pockets all along the front. Jing was no sells men he was a builder so he would leave that to her after all she was far more charming to look upon.
It was a nice summer day but to him it was hot after all he had been wearing the heavy hazard suit for the better part of the day and he as in need of a cold drink. Not even bothering to remove the heavy suit he slipped out the side of the tent that made up the back part of the booth. Heading off towards the most famous tavern in Crystilanias. The Drunken Oak, he had been told about the tavern by one of the other booth owners while they where all setting up their wares for sell. Now that he had gone on break having nothing to build or fix he would enjoy a chilled drink and some music and laughter.

"I will take todays main course and then I want light bread made of Engna seeds and...." Jacob continued his order untill he wouldn´t be able to pay if he continued. The man that took the order gasped and you could almost see his jaw falling to the floor. Then it lit up in joy, the tavern would be getting a lot of cash on this single order.
Jacob sat down in the nearest table and was just focused on not dying of thirst and hunger. When his order came, Jacob started drooling like crazy. Four plates with food, two loafes of bread, a gigantic glass of beer, a gigantic glass of an alcohol-free drink and some other small stuff was served right in front of him. It would be hard for anyone to resist sitting down beside Jacob and ask for some of the food, it was like the food was inviting everyone in the tavern to join it.
Jacob started with pulling down his scarf in front of his mouth and then he went after one dish after another, the taste was so wonderful that he between the bites, started to making noises that showed his joy at the moment. This was much better than awful fiend meat.

Chrim silently drank his bear when suddenly a monkey came out with desiring eyes. Chrim soon understood the monkey wanted some beer, so Chrim took out a small plate from his bag and filled it with beer, then gently pushing it towards the monkey. A noise was heard from Chrims bag, it was his little own monkey. Actually it was a fiend but it was a tamed fiend. That fiend was the only fiend he had the power to tame, he was still pretty new to his energy-bending branch. Chrim took his bag opened it and when he did, a little monkey-looking fiend jumped on Chrims hand.
Chrim let it on the table and watched how the fiend and the monkey would react to eachother. Chrim laughed as his fiend sniffed at the monkey. He then let the two creatures alone and looked around the tavern. Some people was gone and some new had come to "The Drunken Oak". Chrims eyes stopped at the sight of Miranda and Naru, not with a desiring loo but not with an annoyed look either. It was more a curious and interrested look in Chrims eyes. He wondered who they were, they didn´t löook ordinary. They looked special, like him. Chrim then noticed a man that started attacking the food he was served in front of him. Chrim almost laughed at the sight of this experience.

He bounced down to the ground and began to crawl back to the alley where Keezheekoni was, but soon stopped because he found that the fiend was following him. He, in an animated way, tried to show the fiend that it could not come, but the fiend wouldn't listen. So Cha then did the only thing he could think of that would work. He began to run around in a zig zag form hoping to loose the fiend, knocking over dishes and other peoples food along the way, causing a huge racket. When he looked behind him every once and awhile, the fiend was still following him.
---
Keezheekoni was enjoying her food, that is until she discovered Cha was not with her anymore. She looked around hoping he would just be playing a game with her and would pop out any moment, but there was no such luck. She sighed exasperatedly and looked at the back door to find it open.
She quietly walked towards it, her staff gripped tightly in her hand. When she peeked inside, she could only see what looked like a tornado would leave behind. She sighed knowing that Cha had gotten himself into trouble again. She pushed the door open some more and quietly slipped inside without anyone noticing her, though Cha was always a good distraction.
When she was in the main pub area, she could see Cha, followed by a monkey looking fiend, running around the pub causing things to fall, running through food, and jumping on and off of peoples' heads.
Cha saw Keezheekoni and quickly made his way over to her and safely into her arms. The fiend still followed him and started pawing at Keezheekoni's legs. Seeing that Cha really did not like creature, Keezheekoni tried to shoo him away, but the little creature was persistent.
That's when she looked up and noticed everyone was staring at her, mostly in anger, especially who she guessed to be the owner. She didn't say a word, but just stood there not really knowing what to do. Then everyone's mouths started to move all at once and walk towards her. She stood paralyzed and over-whelmed by everything. She couldn't get a fix on one person long enough to know what they were saying and their angry faces told her to run and never come back, but when she looked behind her, some of the workers were blocking her way, looking just as angry.
Cha squirmed in her arm, making her nearly drop the Traveling pass and her staff, and the fiend still pawed at her legs wanting to get close to Cha.
There was nowhere for her to hide or run, and she knew that she was definitely in the kind of situation she had been avoiding so well.

Following Miranda into the Drunken Oak she sat down with her. This place seemed like pretty much every other tavern Naru had been in, but maybe the others thought it was different. Listening to Miranda's questions she couldn't help but wave her hand over Randy's face to heal her nose and stop it from bleeding. Then she answered the previously mentioned questions.
"Nice to meet you Randy, my name is Naru. I am a traveling healer if you could not tell, I wander around healing those who need it and help in any other way I can. It's pretty lonely, but it also brings me to places like this. I had come here because the town I was just in mentioned a festival coming up. I couldn't help myself, I always loved parties. Festivals are just big parties with a common thing for everyone to celebrate. The togetherness is so intoxicating," Naru couldn't help but think of the fighting that just happened. "At least when there isn't fighting, but even after that there's so much joy coming from everyone. Maybe not the loser, but like I've always been taught, 'The joy of many outweigh the joy of few.' Not the best thing to teach because the joy of everyone is as equally or more important."
Naru's attention was grabbed by a man staring in their direction, he had long hair and looked stunning. Her attention was then transferred over to a very impolite man with little manners. She was repulsed by the mere sound of him, the sight of him would be included but she could only see his back side. Her imagination did not stop her from thinking what he looked like on the front, it was not a pretty thought. Snapping out of her own little world she asked Miranda, "What about you? You could not have just come here to fight could you?"

At seeing this the rest of the tavern got angry. In their eyes the monkey was the girl's pet and after the destruction it caused they could only blame it on the girl. They all started to scream at her and walked towards her raising their arms in anger and grabbing their weapons. Seeing this Miranda quickly looked back at the girl, she looked confused and scared her odd gold eyes wide and her eyebrows scrunched together, overall she looked like she wanted to just fall on the ground and burst into tears. This made Miranda angry, she knew what it was like to be ganged up on, though usually she would fight back, she despised anyone who attempted it, especially if like this girl she didn't look as though she could handle it.
Miranda, driven by her anger, stood up on the bar counter, pulling out one of her swords. She walked over to the girl, using the bar as a kind of walk way and jumped down in between the girl and the angry crowd.
"ANYONE WHO WANTS TO START A FIGHT WITH THIS GIRL HAS TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST!!" Miranda yelled at the crowd, some who noticed her from her recent street fight backed down quickly, but still more than half were still advancing. Miranda looked behind her at the weak, scared, little girl looking into her eyes. "Don't worry, no one is going to touch a hair on your head, got that?" The girl nodded meekly, Miranda smiled and turned back around, her eyes fierce and dangerous, her posture strong and defensive, and her sword and smile sharp and ready to show the world just how daring she could be.

Everything else seemed to be a blur, all she could see were shadows forming around the angry tavern costumers in her peripheral vision. She pushed the the other girl aside as she fell beside the younger girl. 'She's just unconscious,' Keezheekoni thought to herself as she checked the vitals. Being a Wizard she could heal a little bit, but nothing major like a what White Mage could do. She bent over the girl, strategically placing one of her hands over the girl's heart, the other over her head.
"Navitas transmitto," Keezheekoni whispered. She felt a sudden exhaustion come over her as her energy in a pale light, that if you looked closely enough you could see small thread like strings connecting Keezheekoni's hands to the girl, transitioned to the girl. Feeling as though she would soon pass out as well, Keezheekoni broke the connection. It was all she could do with the knowledge she possessed, but it was enough to awaken the girl, she hoped.

From his back he took one of his special boomerang-knives weapons and threw it in front of the group that had protected the girl that appearantelty was a wizard or white mage. The weapon was now stuck in the wall creating a line so those who still tried to attack the group of people or just was curious on what the wizard was doing backed off. Now Jacob started talking, still with his eyes red and voice dark. "EVERYONE OUT!!!!!" He pointed with his other weapon at the door. Then he pointed at Desiree, Keezhekoni, Chrim, Miranda and Naru and said with a little calmer voice. "Except you, you, you, you and you!" You five will stay here, you are the only ones that probably won´t make my headache worse and are different from all of these idiots!" Jacob pointed at the ordinary people that allready had begun going out the door. His breathing was heavy but it was steadily calming down.

Chrim stopped laughing when the chaos started spreading. It was screams everywhere and a magic wielder who tried to make the necromancer girl wake up. All of this because of a monkey, Chrim though and shook his head in dissapointment. When did people get this stupid? Suddenyl the man with the bad manners stood up on his table and Chrim allways jumped high in the air when his eyes turned red. Chrims eyes widened in chock, he didn´t know which branch could do something like it. It had to be an illusion, right? Chrims face was almost cut off by a strange weapon that flew passed him and hit the wall, making everyone back off the girls. Nice move! Chrim smiled again and enjoyed the show. "EVERYONE OUT!!!!! Except you, you, you, you and you!" Chrim looked surprised when the guy pointed at him, no one told him what to do. But because it was probably for the best he decided to do what the ninja or whatever he was said. Chrim looked around him and noticed that the tavern allready looked emptier.

Ayta let her eyes scan the area when she felt shadows cooling her thoughts. She cold see trees stretching proudly, and she knew that there was a town nearby. Forests didn't flourish this way without a source of energy. Walking faster, she saw big gates replacing the trees that looked tiny in comparison. Normal towns did not possess this kind of defence. She was about to advance, when she felt a special gust of wind passing by her. She knew there was a reason for it. She looked in the direction it had blown from, and noticed something stuck in some bushes. On closer inspection, it was some kind of small pocket ticket or something. She let it slip into her sleeve, and walked towards the locked gates. There were two men there, glaring at her when they noticed her. Ayta could see in their eyes that they would not just let anyone in. One of the guards said in a demanding voice: "Pass, please." They must be exhausted, to not show much courtesy. Ayta glanced at her sleeve, and quietly flipped the pass in front of the man's face. "You may pass."
Those were quite some huge gates that they opened for her, and she now understood why. This was not a town- it was a city. Her head pulsated by the constant babel that rung through people's mouths. But.. even though it was a city, it felt a bit awkward to have this much activity here. There.. must be some kind of special event here today. She thought. She sighed, and kept walking. Suddenly the letters "The Drunken Oak" flashed by her. She had to look one more time. Drunken Oak? Seriously? The name told her that the place probably was a bar. Her stomach preached its quiet complaints, and the second she reached for the handle a bunch of people emerged from the place. She quickly dodged to the side to not get in the way, and she could feel her hair stand up in her neck. They looked angry, so she figured she would avoid any trouble. She moved further away, and sat on an old bench. She could still see the bar, but she let her eyes rest on a weird mechanical thingie that moved back and forth like in some kind of ritualistic dance or something.
Gosh, what a weird town. Ayta noticed a poster that advertised something that she didn't care about, but she noticed the name "Crystilania", written in big, bold letters. That must be what this city was called.

"So what, you're just going to start bossing us around because we're different?" Miranda asked the ninja. She lounged back on the broken glass, food, and spilled drinks as if she were the Queen of Sheba. She started eating some of the destroyed food, finding it surprisingly delicious besides it's disgusting look. She felt annoyed by this strange guy taking charge of five random people who didn't even know each other. It's one thing if they were a group, but as Miranda looked around at the people that had stayed, one would easily tell they were definitely not a group. They stood around awkwardly and and at a safe distance from everyone else. The girl with the monkey was even staring at the ground and acting like she didn't hear anything that was happening.
Miranda internally snorted and rolled her eyes, 'Yeah, this is going to be an interesting interaction,' she thought. And this was the only reason she had stayed. She would've left like the others, but she was interested in why this guy was so bossy and why he wanted to take five strangers and most likely turn them into a group, or at least that's what she interrupted from the way he acted. 'Bossy wanna-be demon,' she thought as she looked back to the guy.

The people who stayed was a young girl with pale skin and hair, but unusual amber eyes, the girl who she had helped with the energy spell. The deadly looking woman who had stepped in front of her and the crowd. A guy who looked to be a little older than her who had a spear and looked to be the owner of the fiend that was bugging Cha, mainly because the fiend had walked back to him and was now looking a little scared by his legs. A kind looking woman with short dirty blond hair and black streaks in beautiful silk robes. And the "demon" guy with white hair who seemed to be the one who had scared everyone away.
She backed up a little ways, till her back hit the wall that was closest to the back door, that still hung open to the back alley. Her bag hung over her left shoulder lifelessly like a wet filthy rag. Her arms protectively wrapped around her staff that was leaning at a slight angle as it was taller than her, her right hand gripped the middle of it tightly the skin on her knuckles turning white. Her golded hued eyes flickered to everyone's face in a perfect pattern as she watched for someone to speak and give a reason why she, along with the others, were still there.

Chrim listened to this man as he spoke what his goal were and why he needed everyone. "I'm in!"

"Why did you choose us, because of the fight thing? That seems pretty thoughtless to me," she said out loud, her voice threatening, "Besides why should we trust you? Why should we," she gestured to the whole group, "let you boss us around?" Her glare deepened, she didn't like this guy at all, of course she hated anybody who tried to boss her around and had since she was a kid.

Keezheekoni watched the ninja's mouth intently. He didn't talk too fast so she caught every word clearly, and when he started explaining why he wanted to make a group her eyes widened. 'A group? With other people? What if this is just a trap by her adopted parents? What if all these people were in on it?' these thoughts ran through her mind racing, causing her anxiety to build up.
Cha, sensing that Keezheekoni was scared, became defensive. He noticed her eyes on the ninja and let out a loud angry screech before leaping off her shoulder and towards the ninja. He swung on the ceiling above and dropped down on his head beginning to pound hard on it and bite his ears, all the while screeching in anger.
Keezheekoni's hand stretched out, "Cha-tima!" she yelled trying to get him to stop. She ran towards Cha and his poor victim and proceeded to try and pull him off, with little success as Cha kept jumping out of her reach or moving to the other side of the ninja's head.
