"I wouldn't call them lowlifes. I'd love to get out of the city more. It's so nice out here!" She mused, taking another bite of the food. She continued eating until there was nothing left and neatly wrapped up the crumbs in the paper. She put her arms behind her back to stretch then let out a small sigh of relaxation. In her mind, considering the mission they were on, it would be good to relax until they confronted their destination. Relaxing had always been her way of dealing with a big event coming up, especially if she knew she'd be nervous.

A burble escaped the sleeping wisp, Fax, who was hidden in the food crate.

Myr grinned. He was glad that everyone seemed to get along. On top of that, there was a hint of mischief in his eyes as his gaze quickly flashed between the close proximity of the Silver Demon to Erin and back to meet her gaze again. This seems like quite the interesting bunch.

Just before Erin could make a comment on Viv's closeness to him, literally pressed against him to the point where he sat angled a bit with his head tilted, Klaus' voice rang out with a, "The wheel's fixed, everybody and everything back on the wagon!"

With a wave of the his hand, the carjack disappeared as both he and Elise telekinetically swept all the crates back into the wagon. Klaus had kept the figure cross-legged under a tree in his peripheral vision and wondered what reasons that individual had for following them. Could they possibly be a very bad at their job robber?


"For you? Can't do that." Nerou replied. He glanced back at Mina, who had shuffled far away enough and was now standing to the side and watching the boys. His eyes gave away the sense that he was troubled by Mina's presence at the Lyceum.

Mina didn't know what the pink-haired boy was thinking, nor how he knew what had happened to her. On top of that, she hadn't seen him since her days at the orphanage, so to see him here again sent some concern running though her mind. Why was he so concerned about her? Why now after over three years? She didn't understand.


Remora was guiding the girls through the corridor when Sophie signed to her, "So who is the pink-haired boy? And why does he seem to know Mina?"

"That's Nerou and my second in command." replied the silver-haired commander. "He came to the Lyceum just at the start of this year and already worked his way to the top at being one of the best in the school. No one knows where he came from or why he moved up in the ranks so fast, but he's proven himself, in such dangerous situations, to be a trustworthy character. I don't know how he know's Minarin. I just know that he is from the same orphanage as her."

The wind wisp made something of a gentle whooshing sound that could be equivalent to a cat's purr as Lienn continued to pet and massage it.

Iedeo was glad to hear the wagon was finally fixed and that they were about to get moving again. The delay was nothing but inconveniencing, but he supposed it was good for a break too; finding their silver-lining. He still needed someone to keep watch on their potential shadower once they got going again, and he felt it would be a good idea to give Alohi something to do. With that thought popping into his mind, he tapped the same girl he was thinking of on the shoulder to get her attention. "I think it would be smart if we had somebody to keep their on that stranger behind us. Do you mind?" he offered.

Packaging her lunch then picking up her dagger off the ground and giving it a twirl, Viv sprang up with so much energy her feet left the ground, and she landed back on while striking a pose at the two with her. "It's time to go boys!" She beamed, before promptly spinning and marching to get back in the wagon. Despite the sudden bolt of energy she just displayed, she was actually still feeling quite sleepy. A combination of the weather and relaxation had set her in that mode, and it was likely she would take another nap soon. A cat nap. For a catty thief. An appropriate title considering she had just swiped the remaining food belonging to Erin when she'd gotten up. As she walked off, a grin stuck to her face.


Of course he's going to be difficult. Doing his best to maintain his poker face, Thaddius replied in kind, "Then I hope you don't mind if I stay and watch. One way or another, I'm not leaving you two alone." With those words, it was obvious the mage boy didn't intend on going, even with Nerou's attitude ladened refusal.

The explanation Remora provided to Nerou's background piqued Lienn's own curiosity as she listened to the chatter between the other two and focused on this adorable little wisp resting on her head. If the boy was as good as the woman made him sound, she wanted to see how he performed in action.

Alohi turned around when Iedeo tapped her shoulder. "Aye aye, capin'," she said like a pirate, with a salute as soon as he'd finished. "Wait where's Fax?" She said hurriedly, the words tumbling out of her mouth as she realized that she didn't even know where he was. She looked around before hopping onto the wagon and scanning a few of the crates in an attempt to find the little silvery blob. "Fax did you get into one of the crates?" The girl asked the crates, partially hoping he was in one because she couldn't find him, and partially hoping he was so she didn't look like an idiot talking to crates.

Kalo started standing up, noticing that the wagon was being packed up again and the group getting ready. He looked at his muddy body and clothes and sighed a sigh of defeat. Clearly these people knew he was there and quite frankly he was a little intimidated by a group of their size. When he stole it was normally from a very tiny group, a traveling merchant, or someone that just happened to be passing by. There was no point in going after them anymore but seeing as he was already out as far as he was, he figured he'd just follow them from a distance until they reached a town or something where he'd leave them. The white haired boy was kind of wishing however that he'd up following them to some place interesting and exciting and not just a regular, run of the mill town.

Elise tapped Alohi on the shoulder and gestured to the food crate that they had taken the snack food out of, "I believe I saw him somewhere in there." The crate itself was off to the side from the other crates and weapons so that the rest of the party knew to take food from that crate.

Erin didn't really mind that Viv had taken his food. He wasn't that hungry anyways given that there were bigger concerns on his mind. After rounding up the horses and harnessing four of the six to the wagon, leaving Klaus' and Elise's unharnessed, he hopped in the driver's seat once more and waited for everyone else to get comfortable before they headed off again.

Myr was in awe at the physique of Klaus and Elise's horses, well all the horses really, as his jaw was wide open and his eyes huge.

"Interested in horses?" Klaus asked as he hoisted himself up onto Melody's saddle. The white Andalusian whinnied before Klaus steered her to face the Blonde Lightning Boy.

He nodded. While he'd never actually owned a horse, he had ridden a few wild ones back in his hometown.

"Tell you what, I'll let you have a go at riding her when I get saddlesore. Does that seem like a good idea to you?"

Another nod. While he was aware that Klaus was doing this out of the aristocrat's good heart, he also knew that this was a sort of test by the blonde aristocrat of his will and nature. Despite his efforts to mask it, Myr could tell that Klaus was still a bit wary of him and Zephyr, like the others, because they had only recently added them to the roster.

Zephyr was at the back of the wagon, sitting with his back against the inner side. His gaze was still on the mysterious figure who had now seemed to stand up and was preparing to follow the group once more.


Nerou once-overed Mina and sighed.

He was about to say something else, but then a thunderous boom echoed through the halls as the walls shook to emphasize the power of the sound and explosion. Dust and debris floated and crumbled everywhere. A cough could be heard from Mina as she accidentally inhaled some of the rough particles. The pink boy's eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of what was currently his worst nightmare.

The seal had been broken. The concrete block that was used to hold the entrance to the basement stairs was now a pile of rubble.

Instinctively, Nerou grabbed Mina and pushed her behind him, as well as the hilt of his katana. There was a sense of fear in both of there expressions as both had the common knowledge of what lurked in the basement. With there eyes trained on the smoking entrance, they watched for anything, anything, that may appear out of it.


The echoed boom had reached the ears of Remora and the other Achenites and shook the walls, though not as violently. There was a sense of Alarm and concern as the silver-haired commander immediately turned to where the explosion came from and called, "Nerou, report!"

She didn't like that the seal had broken. Even more so, she didn't like that it was broken so soon when everyone was barely prepared.

Sophie watched the commander's alarmed response to the explosion and wondered what had this school seen that made them respond in such a way. What evil and dark magic was hidden within these walls?

(Writing...? Bleh, I'm sorry v.v @Leaf I second Sol~ ^^ @Solstice_X And Lienn vanishes -whoooooo-)

Glancing at the exchange going on between Klaus and Myr, Iedeo, now in the back of the wagon for the first time, couldn't help but feel a bit envious of the aristocrat. He didn't have anything like a beautiful horse that could impress people to get their attention. Even his shield didn't. If only his father's glory had passed on to him... Instead, he'd gotten to live a less than plain life in the middle of nowhere, away from aristocratic privileges, and for what?
After looking on for a few more seconds, he shrugged away the feelings and thoughts and got comfortable where he sat, on top of some blankets so the ground wasn't so hard. He decided he definitely preferred horseback, keeping in mind the saddlesore he had. Now, all he had was nothing to do but think, and he was tired of thinking.

Viv was already in the far side of the driver's seat, swallowing down the last of the snatched food when Erin plopped down beside her. Twisting to look over at him with round eyes, she licked her fingers and brushed the crumbs off herself with a cheery, kittenish smile. "The God of thieves appreciates your sacrifice," she praised monastically after a pause, bowing down in front of him and letting her hand touch him on the shoulder like a holy blessing was being bestowed. It was hard to tell if she was addressing herself as the "God of thieves", or Hermes, since mostly everyone was aware of Viv's stance with the Gods, and even more so that she could have easily taken up such a self-righteous name for herself just now.
When she leaned back up, she gave Erin a little wink.


Thaddius was quick to react when the barrier came down. His reflexes took hold and forced him to cover his face, which kept the dust out of his eyes and lungs, and when he felt like things had settled he lowered his arms to see what happened, while also going for the magical firearm hidden beneath his robes. He briefly glanced over at Mina and Nerou to see they were okay, but their fear was written all over their faces, and he wondered if they knew something he didn't, but whatever was going on surprised him too.

Olivia's reaction was very similar to the others, and she settled in her spot in an elegant stance with her rapier already drawn. The blade's unique design made it so that it could be pulled into two, with the attached one being slightly smaller, and she held both at the ready.

@Grimshadow @Solstice_X Thanke)

"Thank you," Alohi said to Elise quickly before scurrying over to the crate. She opened the top a little and spotted Fax, reaching a hand inside to scoop him up. She lifted him out of the crate and closed it again. "You scared me! But you're so adorable I can't be mad," she pouted to the silvery blob. Butt-scooting over to the edge of the back of wagon, she sat criss-cross applesauce to watch the figure Iedeo had asked her to. It didn't look harmful and from the distance it was at, she couldn't tell that it had been the same boy, especially since he was covered in mud. She was actually quite happy to have something to do. With not the greatest skill in combat compared to the others and little to no knowledge in magics, in the back of her mind she'd been feeling like something of a dead weight; not really knowing why she'd been sent with the party.

Kalo started climbing down the semi-steep hill, his shoes skidding on the ground a little because of the mud on the bottom of them. He took another step down and forgot the little trick that if you bend your knees slightly, you could avoid falling much more, causing him to trip and roll a few yards down. Cursing silently again and wondering what his deal was today, he got up and continued down the hill till he got to the bottom and waited for the wagon to start moving. Since he'd decided not to make any advancements on the party, he'd keep his distance to play it safe.
