"...Maybe I should treat you like a slab of meat. I'm hungry anyway..." Jace replied before meeting her eyes. He then licked his lips, hoping to intimidate her. Yeah, right.

~~~~

"Pfft. Ze money? No it von't." Alma replied as she made her way to a store. "I just need somezhing to really hide myself in. No one vould zhink zhat I vould be an heiress if I do not vear my uzual dress." She pointed out as she entered a building.

~~~~

Glenn continued to move, very pleased to have made her orgasm, until he shot in her, which forced him to grow suddenly exhausted. After a couple of minutes of snuggling, he then removed himself from her with a wide ol' smile. Heart thumping, he found himself finally mustering the courage to say it, "I-I love you..." He squeaked as he found himself freezing up.

~~~~

Jessica gazed downward for a moment. "Yeah, I did. But it doesn't mean I was happy with it." She sighed, revealing a giant bruise on her arm. "It's been painful. But I am dealing."

"I probably had it a little easier, for once." Fenix said with a sigh. "I mean, yeah, I wasn't taken seriously because I'm a kid... But I still was able to prove my merits without getting beaten up... Also..." He leaned in close. "I heard that this is actually a secret test for those who are candidates to become lower knights... A couple of the squires in my group have gone through this mission 3 or 4 times... And some of the people who went with them... Kinda disappeared from the corps afterward... But this was a couple of months ago, so they might've just been pulled for pilgrimage." He whispered.

~~~~~

Anna blinked, her mouth suddenly echoing his words, her mind seeming to process it. She then closed her eyes, breathing heavily. She couldn't respond to it, repeat the emotion, pretty much entirely because there wasn't any way to motion love. Instead, she held a hand to the center of her chest, then opening her eyes, looking at him innocently.

~~~~~

"Well yeah... But the money could be traced... If they do... People could be swarming the place if we're not careful..." Zach sighed, wondering why she was suddenly upset with him this entire day.

~~~~~

Aria couldn't help but snicker a little at his pathetic attempt to be tough. "Wow, that's weak... The tree's pissing itself and it sounds tougher than you." She said.

'I'm just tryin' to express myself eloquently...





'Ya bitch ass ho' ; ;'

~~~~~

"So why the silent treatment?" Derrick asked after several minutes.

Taini blinked as she finished Derrick's shoulder rub. "Well, you were just being an ass." She poked him again before sighing, getting out of bed. Tail flicking once, the woman walked over to the drawer to pick out some decent clothing for the day.

~~~~

"Huh? What do you mean by that? I mean, the tree?" Jace asked, having felt VERY offended. Like that was nothing new. Of course, he was more worried about the tree suddenly.

~~~~

"Hmph. It vill not happen. I'll be careful." Alma rolled her eyes as she peered through some outfits, wondering why Zach was being too cautious and against her. It was, of course, infuriating for her, because not one person has ever acted against her in any argument. She had that type of power.

~~~~

Glenn flushed brightly in response, wondering if it meant what he wanted it to mean. He then nuzzled her once before dressing. "You are still too adorable." He muttered to her as he then placed her outfit on the bed neatly. "I-I'll get some breakfast though. I know it will seem weird, but how about mac n' cheese?"

~~~~

"...Hm, I wonder what it could be." Jessica replied as she folded her arms. "We should both try it though. What do you say?" Eying several of the men, she shook her head. "I can't stand them. The men, anyway. No offense to you, but they act so egotistical. It is very crude."

"That's the thing... We are already knee deep into testing..." Fenix whispered. "I mean... In all seriousness... Remember all the monsters on the way... Well... None of the groups the other squires have been in have been attacked by monsters on the way back... Every time it's been highly skilled enemy combatants..." He pointed out.

~~~~~

"... Look, just let me pay for it... There's no way anyone could trace the money back to us that way." Zach said firmly. "My dad told me too many stories of thieves and kidnappers making the exact mistake you don't want to worry about."

~~~~~

'Yeah,' Anna motioned airily.






















Yeah, so I'm being a dick.


























Spoiler: click to toggle















































So, Anna started to dress, but when she came down, she would find...

~~~~~

"I mean the tree is bitching, and it's still being tougher than you." Aria smirked.

'... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! FUCKFUCKFUCKITYFUCK WHY THE FUCK DO NONE THESE HONKY ASS BITCHES FUCKING LISTEN WHEN I SAY SOLSTICE IS ABOUT TO FUCK UP OUR SHIT AND ANAL FUCK YO HO ASSES?!'

~~~~~

"I was not, Lenna was being an ass Because Blaze didn't know what to say!" Derrick said, CLEARLY possessed by a rogue RPer. Then Taini did the macarena for half a second and Derrick's hair spontaneously erupted.

You read it. You can't unread it.

"Uh... what's it bitching about?" Jace couldn't help but ask as he attempted to translate, only to come up with garbled crap. Instead he shook his head. "Look, never mind. I didn't want the break anyway." He groaned as he shifted back onto his feet, shoving Aria to the side.

~~~~

Green and gurgling mac n' cheese.

That smelled atrociously foul. So foul that if anyone grew close they would pass out or vomit. Whichever came first. Of course it also moved.

"I... I think it is alive. Did I give it a soul?" Glenn sweat dropped as his back was to a wall, wondering what went awry.

~~~~

"Hmph. Let me handle it. Geez, you need to stop being so cautious. It iz getting very annoying." Alma replied in a strict tone, wanting none of his attitude with the entire situation. "I am going to pay for it myself. Vhezher you like it or not."

~~~~

"I really do not understand what is going on here. I'll just continue to fight then, if it is some silly test. I can't fall back now." She mentioned softly as she gripped her side.

"Look, I really don't want the city swarming with people looking for you." Zach said firmly. "No matter how well you disguise yourself, if there are people who know you looking for you, then it's not going to take very long for them to figure things out!" He pointed. "Just let me pay! It's what I got this money for anyway!"

"Too bad! I am sure zhere iz nozhing to vorry about. Not like I have a wanted poster slapped all around town!" Alma cried out, VERY annoyed with him now. "You are nozhing but a vorryvart! So stop! You're making me very irate!" She huffed, wanting to kick him in the ass.

"I'm serious here! Someone will notice something! They'll tag your money! I'm a nobody! Just use my stupid money, we can switch your money at a lot of banks, fake it out, just trust me!" Zach huffed.

"I'm serious az vell. I do trust you, I just vant to do it my vay." Alma rolled her eyes. "It iz just simple gald. Ze same az everyone else'z. And if you keep raizing your voice like that, you're going to alert someone anyvay."

"I'm not raising my voice." Zach said, showing her the gald coins. "See this number?" He asked, showing her the letters and numbers on the coins.

"Um... yes? So?" Alma asked, turning away from him and going to the counter with her clothes in her arm. "Vhat doez zhat have to do vith anyzhing?"

"Those are serial numbers. They can be tracked back to you." Zach said. "Any money you had on hand will be looked out for..." He groaned.

"...And I care vhy? Look, if zhey vant to find me, zhey can. But I vill not return. I... I don't know. I just don't vant to be in the situation ever again." She groaned as she shook her head, awaiting the cashier to check her out.

"But... What about the fact that we'll have to run?" Zach asked with a groan. "We may not be able to come back here... Seriously, just... Let me pay..." He muttered.

Alma just glared and stepped back, finally having given in. With a huff, she retreated to a corner, feeling very angry with the man over the fact that he was demanding. Not one person has ever confronted me about this... you really piss me off Zach.

~~~~~

"I don't know either... But it might mean we're being considered for advancement..." Fenix pointed out. "We just need to prove our mettle, right?" He asked.

"Yes, of course. I just suddenly get this strange feeling. Maybe you're right," Jessica replied glumly, "Maybe I was never cut out for this. Should have just focused on being a farmer's housewife or something."

"... What are you talking about?" Fenix asked. "I heard nobody our age has gotten here in over a hundred years... If anything, you're the most qualified on your side!" He pointed out to her.

"I just... I don't feel up to it anymore." Jessica frowned. "I think it is just too much for me. I just feel like giving up this charade altogether and quit," She whispered.

"What are you saying this for?" Fenix asked. "I... You're the best one I know." He admitted, red.

"T-thank you." Jessica replied as she smiled slightly, her eyes shifting away from him and to him. "I guess it was just a simple lapse in judgement really. I want to be stronger... And I'll strive for it." She said as she shifted her feet. "If I won't make it to advancement, then I won't feel so bad about failing."

"But hey... We're so far ahead... As long as we don't die... We'll be able to advance... Right?" Fenix asked.

"Yes, that's true. We are getting to our goal. So... what's going to happen to other if one becomes the God General?" She asked, now curious. "I mean, would either of our efforts be in vain?"

"Well, my goal isn't exactly to become a God General..." Fenix pointed out. "I plan to become a Dorian General... The new Commandant of the Oracle Knights... But... Yeah... I guess if one of us becomes a God General... The other will have no choice but to surpass that."

"Well Dorian General, God General... whoever reaches the top. You really can't surpass that. Hahaha... so we should probably make a deal, before I won't have the offer any longer. If you reach it before I do, I want to be your right hand woman. They normally are the stronger ones in the end anyway," Jessica teased.

~~~~~

'... That's horrid... What did you do?' The summoner asked, wide eyed.

"Hey, what smells like burning turd?" Came Derrick's voice. "Did Glenn try to make Mac and Cheese again?"

"Why do I only fail at making Mac and Cheese!?" Glenn cried out, horrified. Of course with every attempt, the result grew uglier. "ACK!" He then dashed over to Anna, just as the Mac and Cheese launched itself at Glenn, and grabbed the woman by the hand. He dashed out of the home with a wave. "Bye Mom and Dad! We'll see you soon! Hahahaha!" He laughed as he continued to run away from the abomination, picking up the summoner and eventually taking off with his wings over to the tree.

"Damn..." Derrick gulped, staring at the Garbordor Mac and Cheese golem. "... Where's your mother to eat these things when you need her?" He asked.

Just then Taini came downstairs, fully dressed and ready to go, only to see the golem. "Oh Yulia, not another one!" She cried out, pointing at it. "Glenn did this again, didn't he!?"

"... More than likely... Call your mom... She'll eat it... I hope..." Derrick groaned, ducking out of the way of something.

"She won't eat THAT! It looks like rotting... SOMETHING!" Taini shouted as the blob came at them with its mouth wide open. "Wait! It has a mouth!? Shit! MOM!"

No answer.

"... We need something powerful for this..." Derrick groaned. "... Maybe a giant guinea pig?"

"Yes, oh YES, but Derrick, I have a question!" Taini whimpered as she was hanging from a chandelier. "WHERE IN THE WORLD CAN WE GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT? Wait... Derrick! Go get that specifically violet colored vial upstairs and drink it! Please!? That turns you into a giant guinea pig!"

"It was a joke!" Derrick said, wondering when their meager little cabinlike home got a chandelier, and praying it wasn't actually a soul eating ghost in disguise. "Agh... Never mind... Omega!" He called, blasting silvery energy. In the house.

"HEY!" Taini immediately leaped down and ripped off her bracelet before the spell made impact. Calling a barrier that surrounded the spell and the golem, she ensured that the spell constantly ricocheted, increasing its power as it slammed into the Mac and Cheese beast. It gave a cry that signaled its perishing, then fell back into goop. Well, a goopier substance anyway.

"You're really risking the whole HOUSE to defeat Mac and Cheese!?" She said with a glare that would cause even the toughest men to feel weak in the knees.

~~~~~

'Ahh! What was that about?' Anna asked, more than a little shocked at what was going on. 'Can't you be a bit more gentle?'

"Y-yeah... I'm sorry." Glenn readjusted her before sailing a bit more smoothly. "I just wanted to get there ASAP. It usually gets pretty dangerous. This... hasn't been the first time it has happened," He explained. It was only several minutes before they reached the World Tree. With relief, Glenn landed and placed Anna gently onto her feet.

~~~~~

"Oh, nothing important that we could do anything about, elves fornicating on its head or something of the likes." Aria lied casually. "Honestly, you still wear the collar, but you ignore its meaning."

'BITCH ASS FUCKING HONKY HO! PAY ATTENTION AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUCKING SOLSTICE COMING!"

"..." Jace turned away for a moment, wondering what she could really want from him. "So what do you honestly want from me?" He asked as he then fell onto his knees and crawled over to her. He then stood on all fours, completely over her as he stared at the woman. "As much as I do not want to admit it, I have the stupid collar on and I'm horny as all hell thanks to you."

"And you don't act because...?" Aria asked, tracing her fingers gently on his chin.

"Because you piss me off by telling me how awful I am." Jace calmly told her, though he wasn't very appreciative of the action.

"It wasn't awful, it was just incredibly bad." Aria smiled. "You just sounded bad. It was a terrible pun." She laughed, suddenly holding her body against him. "Mind, you are getting better at the sex."

That was when Glenn and Anna arrived.

'Oh, look, we found them.' Anna sighed.

"Look who it is." Aria chuckled, still clinging to Jace.

'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!'

Glenn blinked at the sight. "Uh, long time no see." He muttered, suddenly wishing he could just ignore them and walk away. "Didn't think she'd still be with you."

Jace huffed slightly, this time allowing the Yulia knows how old woman to cling to him. "Likewise. Both about the long time and the fact you have HER attached to you."

More like the other way around... The youth sweat dropped.

'Come on, time to wake up Origin!' Anna said, taking Glenn by the hand and starting to walk down toward the shrine, summoning Efreet to wreck up any monsters unfortunate to get in her way.

"Well, I guess we should go along then." Aria said. "A pity, really." She laughed.

"A pity? Why?" Jace asked, grumbling over the fact that he was horny. He then followed behind, kicking himself for his uselessness, especially when the summoner just used Efreet and Glenn just blasted everything with tornadoes of both fire and ice, though he remained gripping her hand.

Of course this made Jace only grumpier.

After several minutes of trudging, they managed to reach the entrance to the shrine.

And Origin appeared, looking all menacing.

"Wassup, mai hoem boiz?" He didn't say anything.

'Alright, pact time.' Anna said.

"Pity we don't get more alone time." Aria whispered quickly.

"We already had enough... you know... seven entire months." Jace only stepped back at the sight of Origin, not feeling comfortable around him. Meanwhile Glenn stepped forward, his confidence exceeding everything else at this moment. "We want to make a pact with you. It would just be easier if you help us instead of putting us through some stupid trial like most of the others, because the quicker we get this done, the better our chances are at saving Carleon!" Hands glowing, he managed to prepare himself, just in case, but he also wanted to appear menacing.

"A midget?" Suddenly, Glenn was slammed with a giant book.

And Aria went all sparkly eyed. "That book..." She said, running over and grabbing the book. "IT IS!" She said, practically spinning about. "It's the Book of the Ancients!" She exclaimed. "Lost for centuries and I've finally found it!" She said, politely stepping on Glenn's face as she walked back to Jace.

'KUIGTDFKJFKJCGHJGVHJCVYCTJYN NOBODY HITS HIM WITH BOOKS!' Anna said angrily, throwing the staff at Origin's face.

~~~~~

"In relative comparison, it would have destroyed the house and made everything in it smell horrendous... I think I did the right thing." Derrick sighed.

~~~~~

"Erm... Small problem..." Fenix pointed out. "You'd kind of have to be my right hand MAN in that position..." He sighed. "At least until we revealed ourselves."

~~~~~

So Zach paid with a sigh. "Come on, let's... Just go..." He said, stepping out.

"What's the matter, trouble in paradise?" Came a familiar voice. Zach whipped around to see a man in Malkuth military garb.

"W-What!?" Zach exclaimed. "What's he doing here!?"

"Relax, I'm not here to hunt you down." Ryan said. "I'm here on my vacation and happened to see you."

"Well, I hope once we reach those ranks, I can reveal myself," Jessica replied, "But that's not to say you'll get Dorian General. I said, I'm going give it my all to reach that!" She whispered.

~~~~

Alma raised a brow, responding in a haughty voice, "Vell, not like I vould allow you to bring me back anyvay. You vould not dare." She grimaced as her tail swung for a moment. She then moved passed them both, her ears flicking. "So I am still eazily noticeable. Do I have to cut off my earz and tail next?" She asked as she turned around.

~~~~

"No matter what it was going to be destroyed. Just... as punishment, you're going to clean it up! I'm not going to help you either! I'm just going to go get ice cream. ON MY OWN." Taini folded her arms, still none too happy with her husband.

~~~~

Jace widened his eyes, wondering why the hell that Origin had the book. "So... why exactly did you want that?" He asked, scared that she was actually EXCITED over something. That can't be good.

Of course Glenn was both seriously offended and @.@, so he did nothing for a moment, though he was thankful that Anna was pissed enough over what happened to him. Of course the next thing he felt was pissed off himself, and he hopped back onto his feet and rushed at Aria, throwing an Icicle Rain Arte at Origin.

"HEY! Let me see that book!" He demanded before suddenly ripping the book away from the woman and sprinting off, knowing that the book contained knowledge of certain alchemy spells that were lost in the ancient times. And of course he would need it to help put Origin in his place. Of course he flipped through and read the pages as fast as possible, hoping to avoid the wrath of Aria.

But the book was pretty much not anything of use to him. It was a data log, mostly including notable birth and death records, but occasionally chronicling ancient battles as well as the rise and fall of various nations. Lost knowledge, indeed, but not knowledge that was useful to an alchemist, exception to several, if you can believe it, birth and death records for alchemists. No ancient lost alchemy or records on where to obtain it. Just dates and figures. "Are you done being a book whore?" Aria asked, before turning to Jace. "It's a very interesting record." She said.

Origin was hit with a club, then icicles. "... Seriously? This is what I've been reduced to? Immature children? Why should I form a pact?"

'Because...' Anna said, suddenly grabbing the staff and raising it, summoning all the pacted spirits. 'This! Attack!'

Suddenly, Origin was bum rushed.

Glenn, gritting his teeth at the realization that what he had been trying to find was, in fact, a bunch of records, he thrust the book at Aria and jumped in, deciding to try something different. With a huff, he decided to aid the spirits with a small spell of his own, handed down to him personally by his father. Slamming his palms onto the ground, a grand circle with an ancient rune formed underneath Origin as he was bum rushed. Taking a knife and slitting both of his thumbs with it quickly, he threw his hands at the edge of the rune, causing it to glow red. And instantly a wall of red surrounded Origin, having been strong enough, thanks to it being part of Glenn's blood and thus his soul. The wall also allowed the attacks of the spirits to be centered on Origin, and finally Glenn jumped back in, clasping his hands together as a great white ball formed. "Grand Omega!"

Jace blinked, then lifted a finger. "Oh... Well I guess it's good for you..." He sighed. "So... how the hell am I supposed to help them?" He asked, feeling VERY useless at this point. Then again, he wanted to save his strength for D.

Aria caught the book. "Those who can fight will fight, those who can't, they should stay on the sidelines." She shrugged, examining the records and dodging stray energy bolts.

Yeah, there's a reason why Origin is the greatest of the summon spirits. The other spirits were all repelled, AT ONCE, then he was blasted by the powerful strike. He gritted his teeth, then blasted energy bolts everywhere, including Anna and Glenn.

Anna had to roll to avoid the strikes, but she then rushed forward, deciding to try a less conventional approach, clubbing some sealpirits. 'Stop being such a snooty prick!' She shouted, swinging again at him.

Glenn hopped away, though much clumsier than Anna's avoidance. He then then pressed his hand on the ground, forming a sword from it. Of course just a wooden sword, but who cares? Glenn, keeping an eye on Anna, suddenly went all out, throwing all the spells he knew at Origin, though it was clear he was going to exhaust himself quickly. "Dammit, we gotta get him to form the pact... are you really that fucking stubborn!?" Glenn shouted at Origin as he stopped and dashed at the spirit with an intent to stab the being. With a wooden sword. How futile of the both of them.

"Yeah well what is the point of me coming with them, huh? I could easily just run off, find D, and..." Jace trailed off for a moment. "I don't know... but... I want to be able to fight. Just looking at them makes me sick."

"Well don't look then." Aria shrugged, turning a page as she sidestepped the bolts.

"Stubborn? What, do you want me to just say, sure, I'll pact, but first a tea party?" Origin asked, snarking.

'I'll give you a tea party!' Anna said, suddenly slamming the staff hard into Origin's gut as if playing a ridiculous game of tea ball.

Jace suddenly cried out in pain, having been hit by one of the bolts. He was totally not amused by the situation, so he stepped back and decided to stay on the sidelines. In fact, he grew angrier just by standing around, so he suddenly bolted off down the tree, wondering what he could do to contribute.

Meanwhile Glenn widened his eyes, dodging another bolt as he threw out another spell, this time having been a simple blizzard. And by simple, I mean powerful enough to freeze most anything. Skidding back, he bit his lip, deciding to basically just aim for the eye with a few icicles, realizing that his alchemy was really no good in this situation. Origin could break through most anything, and nothing chemically could affect him.

"Just give. It. UP!" Origin roared, blasting everyone back with heavy energy.

'Ugh...' Anna groaned, rolling along the ground. 'That's... Enough... All of you... To me!' She commanded the spirits.

"Oh, this might be interesting." Aria chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Glenn had to ask as he eyed the woman, though he stopped his casting, feeling completely wiped out as he found out he ran out of tricks. This was truly a job for the summon spirits, and for that to happen, Anna had to take front and try to finish him off herself. At least the man could at least protect her with a few barriers and heals here and there.

"Oh, you'll see." Aria said, turning about and heading down in Jace's direction. "You'll see." She said, walking off.

Anna, of course, was channeling the spirits' energies together. 'Here goes! Light of the heavens!' She motioned.

"Judgment!" The spirits seemed to call out.

~~~~~

"I took the path of least damage and you're punishing me for it? What would you have done? Start flinging furniture at it?" Derrick asked.

"...-.- I would have probably cast a spell or three, freeze it, then smash it with my blade. Or is that too destructive for you?" She asked with a haughty voice.

"No, but normally you act as impulsively as your mother and your grandmother." Derrick pointed out.

"Yeah well, you act too cautious for your own good! It's going to get your ass kicked!" Taini huffed, already in her wanting-to-start-an-argument phase.

"... Um... No?" Derrick said. "Even your mom hasn't done that to me." He said with a sigh.

"What are you talking about?" Taini raised a brow before shaking her head. "Hmph. I'm going to find Leo. I need to warn him."

"I'm coming too." Derrick said. "We both need to watch out for him." He explained. "As good and responsible parents." He said, quickly incinerating the macaroni golem.

"..." Taini eyed him for a moment, her tail flicking, representing aggravation, but only for a few seconds. It soon calmed down, and Taini finally replied, her golden eyes lit up. "Right. As good and responsible parents. You know, like what Mom and Dad could never be," She chuckled before walking out to start the rheiard.

"They had to be halfway decent if they raised you to be who you are." Derrick pointed out with a laugh.

~~~~~

"I have no interest in chasing lovebirds." Ryan said. "And for the record, I recognized him and your voice." He spoke.

"... So you can hunt us down at any time, is that what you're saying? You're all knowing?" Zach asked, eye twitching.

"Nothing of the sort." Ryan laughed. "As I said, I am merely on a vacation."

"...Ve should probably go. But he iz right. I do need to somehow loze zhis... vell, accent," Alma replied before bowing her head. "You know, you could have been able to take us both in... vell vizhout a fight anyway, but... vell, vhatever. Zhank you." She mumbled before walking out of the store, wanting to change elsewhere.

"Look, I can see what's going on here, that simple." Ryan said. "I know what the details are, unlike most. Also, it had nothing to do with accents, it's the sound of your voice that I recognized." He continued. "But I won't bother you. Really not interested in it." He said as he walked off.

"... That ass..." Zach gritted his teeth. "Ugh... So... Want to head back to our temporary home?" He asked, trying to breathe.

Alma sighed, nodding. "Yeah, I vant to suddenly get out of here. Vhat vould you like to do vhen ve arrive? Just... vell... I'm not too fond of zhis day anymore. If anyzhing, I've been aggravated."

"Well... Just... Chill, I guess?" Zach asked. "We can always dig up shells at the beach by the place." He suggested.

"Or I can continue to be angry vith you and go back to being a spoiled heiress. Honestly, I'm beginning to have doubts about zhis already..." Alma replied as she continued to walk ahead, wondering if she was growing bored already of the adventure.

"... Why? Because I didn't want us to have our good time wrecked?" Zach asked, sighing. "Look... I have a few ideas... They say the shells there shine like all the colors of the rainbow... I thought digging some up would be neat." He sighed. "Or... We could try out that 'perfume'."

"Vichever vorks. You have a lot to make up for, Zach." Alma pointed blatantly at him before turning away from him, her eyes having been focused on other things. She was curious as to what Werites Beacon also had to offer, but that was to be saved for another day. "I just do not vant to feel az if I made some mistake..."

"... Gee, thanks..." Zach grumbled, crossing his arms. "Look, It'll be fun, okay?" He asked, taking her hand and walking her back on the way to the Oresoren Village.

~~~~~

"Of course we will be able to... We'll have proved a lot by then, won't we?" Fenix asked, smiling.

"Yes. So why don't we pass this stupid test. And prove how stupid it is!" Jessica pumped a fist, before standing firm and tall, her usual stance when she was imitating Fenix.

"Because we're not going to prove how stupid it is... We're going to prove that we can pass it beyond any of the others... Even if I was outclassed a little on the way in..." Fenix sighed, standing and stretching.

"Well, that's the spirit!" Just then the two were called for their daring mission...

Jessica took in a deep breath and simply followed.

Fenix followed as well, looking around. They appeared unsupervised, just 8 squires, men, women, women who dressed like men, and men who dressed like women.

"Now we move forward!" A female squire said. "We're not going to be led along!"

"Right." Fenix said. "Um... I'll take point!" He said.

"... Your funeral, kid!" One squire said.

Jessica did not at all disagree, but instead followed behind him, placing her arms behind her back.

"What, since when are you a lapdog, Fenix?" Another of the squires asked, not at all amused with the squire. "You should take point, if anything."

"Hey, careful!" One squire said. "Don't piss him off, he might get you excommunicated!" She taunted.

'... Gotta take it with a grain of salt, right?' Fenix thought to himself, still leading on until they saw a woman standing in the road, staring into space.

"Um... Identify yourself!" Fenix squeaked, feeling nervous from the woman.

"They're all dead..." The woman giggled.

Jessica stood forward, her sword's handle gripped with her own hands. She felt confident that this was just an ordinary woman, probably struck with grief and driven to insanity. "Ma'am. Please allow us to help you. Can you explain what happened?" She asked as she heard the other squires shuffling around.

"They're coming... More of them are coming... Now they're not all dead... But I'll make them all dead... They'll all be dead..." The woman said.

"... I..." Fenix gripped his sword. "Perhaps we should just pass on by." He said. "Not mess in this."

Glenn widened his eyes, having taken a step back. Geez, they can pack a punch... He thought as he watched the spirits unleash one of the greatest spells of all time. I have to master that... He then raised his hands, getting ready just in case Origin made it out of this attack unscathed.

~~~~

Taini flushed at the comment before hopping on the back, her eyes to the man. "You just earned some Derrick Points for the day. You now have a total of 4300 points! If you want, I can show you all the options you have this month to spend the points on!" She teased as her tail flicked happily.

~~~~

"We can't, Jessica." Jessica announced as she raised her blade. "Look, if you're going to continue to act this way, I will not be able to do anything but turn you in to higher authorities."

~~~~

"I suppoze I vill trust you," Alma replied as she gripped Zach's hand, her eyes constantly staring at the sky. "I have never been in ze sun zhis often. I actually enjoy it..." She whispered to herself as she flicked her ears.

"What about seven months ago?" Zach asked, blinking as he continued to the duct, which they took straight back to the Oresoren Village. Zach quickly changed into cargo swim trunks and then pulled out a bathing suit for Alma, not having looked at it before purchasing, except to make sure it was in the woman's size.

~~~~~

"... Hehehe... They gave me permission..." The woman said, standing to reveal a bloodstained white mask with crazy eyes behind it.

"... Right..." Fenix said, tightening his buckler and pointing the sword at the woman. "Even if I don't like the thought..."

"... Damn kids, come on, let's move!" One of the older squires said. "Let them deal if they want!"

~~~~~

"I don't suppose I can spend it on a grand prize, can I?" Derrick asked. "Do I have enough points?"

~~~~~

So Origin made it out... Somewhat scathed. "Okay... Ow... So you can fight..." He said, standing tall.

There were several minutes of silence.

'... So...' Anna said.

"What?"

'Pact time.'

"Okay."

The pact was formed.

"Now why did you want the pact?"

'I need to know where the woman we're seeking is.' Anna explained.

Alma blinked, having taken a look at the bathing suit, causing her to flush. "Well, it vaz mostly in cavez and at night and..." She breathed, closing her eyes.

"Right, I get it..." Zach sighed, looking to her. "Hey... Why'd you go red?" He asked, picking up a small garden shovel. "And... Uh... I don't think we're going to get much sun while shell digging." He pointed out.

"Just ze suit... never been to a beach or anyzhing like zhat. Just, odd to zhink about. I mean, I have been swimming plenty of times before, but..." She shrugged as she wondered about the shovel. "So, how do you go about zhis?"

~~~~

"Ah! S-sir!" Another squire shouted, panicking and fleeing. The others soon followed, leaving the two behind with the woman. Jessica lifted a hand as she bit her lip. "I don't care what you look like... But I'm bringing you in!" She shouted, trying to sound intimidating as she swung her blade.

The woman was struck clean in the face, but the mask repelled the blow. "Aww, some of them ran awaaaaaay..." She said, suddenly jumping back and kicking Jessica in the face.

"Fenix!" Fenix called out, running forward and swinging at the woman several times, only to miss with each swing.

Jessica fell back onto her side, feeling actual pain for the first time, though she was conditioned plenty for this. Standing onto her feet, she then rushed at the woman from the side, swinging in a high upper arc. "Jessica! Watch for an opening!"

~~~~

"Um, the grand prize? Well, it could require a very long date, followed by a romantic evening however to your liking, and finally a night you'll never forget." Taini smirked as she clung to the man, hoping to excite him a little.

"And do I have enough points for THAT?" He asked, clinging right back.

"Well it costs about 4200... and it has been six months... so yup!" Taini grinned widely, her smile revealing her tiny fangs as she then kissed the man. "But first, to find our son!"

~~~~

"Exactly." Glenn nodded as he gazed at Origin. "Please, do you have any idea on how to find her? We need to stop her in any way we can, before she wreaks havoc all before Carleon." He explained calmly, though he was too busy fumbling with his gloves, wondering if the fight with Origin concluded that he needed more work with his gear.

"Why do you think I would be able to find one person?" Origin asked. "I am no god." He said. "I can seek the source of calamity, but I cannot find whoever you are seeking.

'Ugh, just... Find what my staff is seeking.' Anna commanded, raising up the staff. 'And hurry it up. There might not be much time left... It's been shaking like crazy for a couple of days now.'

Glenn nodded as he then finished his ascent to the tree, then spread his wings wide. "I'll be right behind!" He cried as he frowned. Origin and D... both are her battles. Can she really? He thought as he had a second thought of staying behind. She would be okay. She's incredibly strong... He thought before shaking his head, sighing deeply. "No... Have to be there for you." He whispered to himself before spreading his wings wide, then jumped from the tree.

~~~~~

Meanwhile...

Jace was sitting down at a bar, slamming his fist onto the table as he stared at a poster of D, the first one in several months... possibly years for all he knew. He noticed the highlights of the poster, then stabbed his knife into it, grimacing. "D, I don't care if I'm weak... you're just a frail stupid half-elf, and I can't wait to end your life. Just need to prove that I'm capable." He breathed before finishing his drink, then walked out the door, heading to Werites Beacon.

"And how will you do that?" Aria asked, popping up behind him. "You know, she won't be easy to find, least not after her security fail several years back." She pointed out. "Even if you do find her, how will you get close enough to find her, hm?" She asked. "But... You need to relax before you go in, you know?" She asked.

"I can't relax." Jace replied, eying her for once in his life. "I just can't. It is nearly impossible to do, and I need... to prove myself." He continued his stare, not taking his eyes away for a second. His eyes seemed to express sorrow, most likely due to the pain he was feeling the entire trek. Voice cracking, he continued, "I just want to be able to finally be at peace. To be able to really relax." Feeling like a small child, Jace suddenly wrapped his arms around the woman's waist before he placed his head on her shoulder.

"Well..." Aria said. "I think you need one chance to relax... At least to relax your body, so that you'll be ready for the storm. She told him, stroking the back of his head. "Yulia knows, it's going to be hard on you... That's why I rented a room for the night." She said. "So you can relax yourself."

~~~~~

For once, Anna did not fly on her own. She suddenly clung to Glenn, her eyes closed from exhaustion.

"The calamity... It will be centered in Werites Beacon." Origin said, speaking in absolutes.

~~~~~

"Of course." Derrick said with a nod, setting the machine into the air with her, then flying in the direction of the largest city in the area.

~~~~~

"Righ-" Fenix said, suddenly thrust into Jessica before he could make another move, toppling her over. "Guh... She's fast..." He groaned, trying to stand.

"Oh... They aren't dead yet..." The woman said, scratching her head, seeming puzzled.

~~~~~

"Well..." Zach said, raising a brow, but not showing her. He walked to the shoals, squatting down and starting to dig as the waters receded. "Aha!" He said, holding up a single shiny shell. "Just like that! It's all about digging at the right time! Nothing to it!"

"Wow... so vhat iz ze point of all of zhis?" Alma asked as she bent over, beginning to dig herself, though she wasn't too keen on getting the sand in her fingernails. She then noticed a sparkling shell, one that shined with the sun. With a smile, she picked it up and showed it to Zach. "Here."

~~~~

Jessica groaned before helping Fenix up. Raising her blade again, she pushed off and charged at the woman, feeling very confident that she could land a hit. "Alright, time to use some artes! Demon Fang!"

~~~~

It didn't take too long before the duo reached Grand Chokmah, which was one of the cities that they were closest to. "Hm, you think he would be here?" Taini asked as she gazed down at the people while they were sailing on the rheiard.

~~~~

"Werites.." Glenn took in a deep sigh. "Where the grand battles take place. It is expected." He told origin before hefting up the young woman and carrying her, bridal style. He then looked at Anna, deciding that she was too exhausted to really go through another fight. "It is probably best that you get some sleep." He told her with a concerned tone of voice, "After all, we need all of your strength to take on D, right? We can't have you hurt, either."

~~~~

Jace pulled back after a few moments, having absorbed her words. Why is she doing this for him? He glanced downward for a moment, feeling slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry. For being so damn weak." He told her before heading to the inn where she most likely booked a room. Arriving there, he kicked the wall once before entering, feeling rather upset.

Aria, of course, immediately went to the bathroom, not saying a word for a little bit. "You know," She said, "The wall isn't going to help solve your problems, whether or not you kick it." She said after about 15 minutes, though no once having emerged.

~~~~~

'What?' Anna blinked. 'I'm just a little worn out. I couldn't have gotten this far without your help though.' She said, blowing a weak raspberry. 'Don't be stupid, stupid.'

~~~~~

"I couldn't say..." Derrick said, looking around. "Looks like there's some kind of panic..." He mumbled as they landed.

"That tail... IT'S HER! IT HAS TO BE HER!" Someone said.

"Er... Bad time?" Derrick asked.

~~~~~

The woman fell over right out of the way, only to spring up and kick Jessica in the jaw as Fenix charged, of course, he too was floored handily, wondering what had happened as the dust cleared.

~~~~~

"The point?" Zach asked, comparing the shells. "Well, it's just to have fun, that simple." He said, offering her the shovel.

"...To have fun huh?" Alma asked as she took the shovel happily and began to dig, finding more seashells. "Vow... zhis iz kind of nice! I vould love to collect them!"

"This is the best place to do it." Zach said. "The Oresoren go down and eat shellfish, then the shells wash up around here." He said. "And they're beautiful, aren't they?" He asked.

"Zhey are very beautiful. I vant to make a necklace out of zhem! Or a bracelet!" Alma asked as she giggled, gathering more seashells of all kinds. "Vow, zhis iz a metallic blue one... are zheze rare?"

~~~~

Jessica fell back again, this time unable to get up. Groaning, she turned her head to Fenix while struggling. "I... Ow-owowow..." She the wobbled back onto her feet, clenching her sword. "I... can't lose this..." She frowned, wondering if there was another way around.

"I refuse!" Fenix said, running up and swinging his shield.

"Deny!" The woman said, grabbing the shield, and his arm. "Don't hit yourself!" She said, smashing the shield over his head and knocking him out cold.

Jessica stood tall as she ran over to Fenix, making sure she was on guard. "Dammit! Jessica!" She then backed away in a back flip, then attempted to strike again but pushing herself forward. "Sword Rain!"

~~~~

Taini blinked, wondering WHAT THE FUCK was happening here. Out of nowhere she was grabbed by, oh probably about twenty men, forcing her to struggle for a moment. "Okay, what IS THE BIG IDEA HERE!? Let me go, or you're going to regret touching me! Trust me, I kicked Irvine's ass nearly all the time!"

"Kill the kidnapper!"

"Now hold on a moment, I'm not a kidnapp-" Derrick started, only to be swarmed himself. "Ah... T-Taini!"

Taini, now suddenly pissed that her husband was involved, decided to taking a couple of guards and flipped them with a single arm. She then unsealed about four wings, knocking another couple back, then released a blast of mana around her, sending the rest back. Sealing her wings quickly, she ran over to Derrick, but not before summoning a blast of fire at the remaining guards, knocking them all out cold. "You okay Dear?" She asked, appearing not too amused with the situation.

~~~~

Jace sat on the bed, wonder what she could possibly be doing. He didn't really give it much thought, but thought of what he was told. "I know, but it helps..." He sighed before taking an old copy of a book. In fact, it was just a diary, most likely from him. Turning the pages, he began to read.

Meanwhile, Aria was simply waiting in the bathroom, waiting patiently for Jace to check in on her like the curious young man he was.

After a few minutes of no response, he then stood from his bed, having put the diary down. "Aria?" He asked as he walked over to the door and knocked on it, then deciding to quietly open the door by a crack, because he was that curious. Peeking in and probably kicking himself for it, he stated, "Aria, are you alright?"

~~~~

"Uh... thanks... I guess." Glenn blinked before nipping at her tongue playfully, trying not to be offended with the word stupid. "Hey, well I guess we could always find her. But wait, didn't Jace and Aria want to come with? Shouldn't we get them?" He asked as he continued to fly rapidly.

'It's almost over... I'm sure we can manage.' Anna said softly, snuggling in response.

"I hope you're right..." Glenn replied as he held her closer to him, suddenly afraid that the two were only going to be ones facing D in the end. He spent the rest of the day sailing over the seas and keeping track of the location of Werites, for it changed constantly. Eventually, he did reach it, and once he did, he landed onto his feet, which had felt stiff and frozen for quite sometime.

Anna was, by this point, clinging to his back, sound asleep, or rather, silently asleep. Not a sound could be heard from her besides that of her light breaths. That night, the city seemed all too peaceful.

~~~~~

"Come in..." Aria said. She then yawned just a little. She had apparently been sitting on the sink of the bathroom the whole time, wearing nothing but a lacy silk negligee. "Took you long enough."

~~~~~

"You know... You didn't have to go THAT far..." Derrick sighed, standing and brushing himself off. "I mean... They were almost all just regular townsfolk."

~~~~~~

Of course, the woman dodged again, then smashed the butt of the dagger into Jessica's neck.

And they were never heard from again.

... Or at least until the next morning, but not by the squires. Not anymore.

"So, you're awake, squire Jessica." Came a feminine voice, directed at... Jessica... DUN DUN DUN! "And squire Fenix... I'm surprised."

~~~~~

"Well... Not here." Zach said. "But everywhere else they are... And I'm sure you can tell by now how difficult it is to get here... Which is the only place we can find them easily."

Alma nodded and smiled. Together they spent the afternoon gathering shells, and before it was too late, the woman had managed to sew together a necklace and bracelet. "I've been taught a lot by Mozher. It can come quite in handy." She grinned.

~~~~

"..." Jessica frowned, lowering her head as she felt jabbed by the comment. "I... I'm sorry." She began, hoping to quickly explain herself. "It was just a decision Fenix and I made. We looked alike, so I figured we could prove everyone who we really are..."

~~~~

"A-ah... uuuhhh..." Jace reddened as he took a step back, turning his head away. "I... you really wanted me to do this, didn't you?" He asked, gulping as he took a step closer to her, feeling VERY attracted to her.

~~~~

Glenn sealed his wings, then took a step into the city, feeling very antsy about the location. He felt nervous, wondering if he was going to be jumped, but he soon calmed down once hearing Anna's breaths. Noticing that she was asleep, he decided that it was indeed best that he rent a hotel room for the night and keep an eye out for D with his alchemy. So he did rent a room and soon entered it, finding a rather large bed. Setting her down into it, he then turned and walked to the window, deciding to gaze out at the rest of the town.

But of course, he couldn't find her, because... Well, she may not have arrived in Werites yet, derp.

~~~~~

"I don't really know what you mean, I've just been sitting here." Aria said, stretching just a little, enough to raise the negligee enough to show the entirety of her thigh.

~~~~~

"Oh, I don't really care." The woman said. In the corner of the room, a bloodstained white mask could be seen.

"H-huh... Hey! You're the one who attacked us back there!" Fenix said, pointing at the mask. "Who are you!?" He demanded.

"Who am I?" The woman asked. She turned about to reveal her face, steely blue eyes and slight features. "They call me Neuge the Flurry."

"Neuge... The..." Fenix was taken aback. They had attacked one of the six God Generals, whether or not they had meant to.

~~~~~

Zach was sitting in the shoals, letting the water wash over his feet and suit. "Well... Gad you enjoyed it!" He said, smiling at her. "And... Wanna just sit here for a bit?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah... I vould like to do zhat," Alma replied as she sat beside him, lifting up her summer dress slightly so that it wouldn't become drenched. "Did you enjoy it? I vould feel awful if you didn't."

~~~~

"!!!?" Jessica jumped at the thought. "No wonder why we didn't stand a chance!" She exclaimed, her mind running at 100 miles per hour at this point. She then looked to Neuge with a shining smile on her face. Before her was her idol, someone that she wanted to be like at some point at her life. And by luck, she managed to actually meet her.

~~~~

"W-w-w-why?" Jace gulped again, placing his hands on his hips to play it cool, though the stammering didn't help. He then bit his lip. "You know, this isn't helping me relax..." He mumbled to himself as he then stood right before her, knowing full well what she was trying to do. Maybe it might... He thought as he touched her thigh absentmindedly, beginning to stroke it.

~~~~

Glenn turned away after an hour or so, then undressed and crawled into bed. All he could do during the entire night was stare at the ceiling, and as he did he mentally kicked himself for being unable to sleep, for he could not be 100 percent ready for battle.

~~~~

"They started it. I only ended it. They threatened you and NO ONE threatens my hubby." Taini replied as she then grasped Derrick's arm and nuzzled it. "So, ready?"
