From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Olvelsper]

"That's for people who have a future." Jan countered. "I think I lost all claims for that when I opened Pandora's Box all these months ago." He shook his head.

"Anyway, I'm sorry for coming here so much to bother you, but do you know anywhere safe enough for me to leave the villagers we brought with us? They're as much my responsibility as the other goings on."

[Dracos]

"Think nothing of it.  We'll take care of them here...  And I'm disappointed.  I was hoping to inquire into your aid for an expedition to the northern seas.  but one must follow their own path."

"Maybe it'll bite some sense," A snarky Yomi floated behind him, causing the king to  step back, his hand reaching for his sword in surprise.

"Ah, yes. My ball and chain appear." Jan lifted a hand to keep Cecil from striking the primordial flying creature. "Don't worry, he isn't one of the enemy."

"What do you want, Yomi?"

[Dracos]

"To climb the tower, of course.  Not thinking of heading off alone are you?" He replied jovially, his attitude switching.  "I've seen it done before...but it's a rough climb."

To that, the magician perks up. "...Illusions, you say?" he says with some excitement. Moving almost intimately close to abusing personal limits, he cups his hands around the palms of the girl's own as she holds the books. "Madam, you have just locked the entirety of my attention on what you have to say about such a wonderful and intriguing branch of magic."

[Dracos]

Mary blushed as Felix made his proclaimation, taking her hands.  "We-well, perhaps you'd be interested in the basic art of Blur?  It allows one to create shadows of yourself that trace along and make it very difficult to hit you."

"Go with the others. They might need you more than I would, Yomi." Jan looked at Cecil, dismissing the flying creature for a moment. "What's going on to the north, King Cecil?" He curiously asked.

[Dracos]

"My wizards believe  that far to the north there be a tribe of people  unlike anything we have ever dealt with and that the winds of fate indicate that it is imperative that we gain their aid for the trials ahead.  I was hoping your group would be willing to spearhead it, since none have as much experience with dealing with strange cultures here."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"...hm." Jan pondered on that. "I'll go ahead and let the others know. I can put off my trip for a bit if it's that important."

[Dracos]

The king's eyes were grateful.  "Indeed, I trust well in the Mysdian prophets we have here and I can think of none better to oversee the task.  They spoke of finding the warlike ones, fearsome of visage, who would be as a spear of hope in times of darkness."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"...alright. I can handle that, then." Jan nodded. "By your leave." When he got the king's nod, he started making his way out.

"One thing after another." He softly muttered to himself.

[Dracos]

Now to round up the others, who at last he saw, were wandering the town.  Scouting around, Jan found Felix flirting with the white magic shop owner.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"So, what inspired you to come out of your box?" Jan asked Yomi, not really wanting to interrupt the man as he moved away, moving to take a seat.

"Did the big bad demon keep you away?"

[Merc]

ooc: her name is Mary? It's not some alternate dimension girly version of Iddy's character is it?

ic:

"That sounds like a fine start," Felix agrees to the shopkeeper's suggestion.

[Dracos]

OOC: Totally is =p.  Only not.

Mary nodded, turning and digging under the counter and pulling forth a series of scrolls.  Each were pretty decently expensive.  "This is a spell of healing, allowing you to purge foul spirits or disease from a person.  This spell can be used to close minor wounds, returning an individual to health.  Here you can create multiple images of yourself in shadow around you, making it more difficult for an enemy to strike you.  They'd all be good for a beginner to learn.'
