CHAPTER SIX

Feet crunched in the snow, making the walk slightly discomforting. Bite’s paws sank deep into the snow, melting between his toes and soaking into his fur. He growled in annoyance and shook his paws to relieve them of some water. Xertini stumbled alongside him, chattering her teeth. Kage looked back at her and said with mild amusement
“You two seem to be having fun, but you look like you are at your limit. We can always go back and hope for the best.”
He knew he sounded cold hearted but it worked. Xertini gave him the bird and stormed past him with new determination. xMori whistled and yanked Xertini back as she almost blew past him. They ducked under a bridge that led out into a frozen lake. Bite tried to sneak under with them but the bags and his size wouldn’t allow it. Xertini motioned him to the forest and he sped through to the underbrush just as they heard thundering footsteps. OnlyYours signaled to them all to be silent as the footsteps went by them. Someone walked on the bridge and stopped at where paperheart was laying. She was shoved into the snow and was turning light blue. OnlyYours touched her shoulder, trying to warm her. A gravely voice sounded from above.
“There has been no sign of the trespassers. The soldiers will continue on the pursuit. Once found I will destroy them for you my liege.”
Another voice sounded from a further distance
“Very well. We can’t have these….pests….going around spilling Aquarius’ secrets. It would be a burden should all our years of planning go up in smoke because of a group of pesky children.”
Xertini felt her face grow hot and xMori gave her a stern look that clearly said ‘don’t do anything stupid’. The weight lifted off of paperheart as the figure moved on. She took a big gasp of air and then they were found. The bridge was torn up by a gigantic blue bear. Everyone scrambled to their feet as the bear approached them. Xertini saw icy swords pointed at them and before any of the others knew what was happening, she had blown the blades and their wielders away. A sudden scream let out as the bear grabbed paperheart into his mighty fist. OnlyYours held the others back as the bear spoke to them in its gravely tone
“You have encroached upon our training grounds and must die. I will rip you all apart slowly!”
With this, the bear began to slowly pull on paperhearts arm. Bite shot out of the forest and lunged at the bears open toes. He roars in agony and chases the cat, letting go of paperheart. She screamed as she fell and suddenly her descent slowed. xMori slowly let his Cyclone skill bring her to safety. Xertini and OnlyYours battled with the never ending sea of ice soldiers. OnlyYours looked to her left and saw at least one hundred soldiers gathered together. She felt her stomach twist as she saw them fuse and create a large being. It was a large woman with snowy skin and she had horns. Her hair was frozen in a way like she had been caught on a windy day. She slammed her scepter into the ground and a large flashing symbol appeared below OnlyYours and Xertini. They both jumped out of the way as the ground exploded, showering the area with ice chunks. Kage had snuck behind the newly created monster and flung his sword into her back. She yelled loudly, her voice sounding like breaking glass, and she turned on him. She stabbed at him with her scepter and he blocked it. As he blocked the attack, he summoned his pet saber tooth. It leaped up the woman’s scepter and bit her neck. The cat jumped from the monster, running down her back and retrieving Kage’s sword first. She impaled his saber tooth and it shattered into pieces. She slammed the side of the scepter into his sword and sent him flying. He fell and grunted as he felt his hand twist. He peered out of the corner of his eye to see the woman raise her scepter. xMori grabbed the blue bears toe and teleported them both backwards into the womans path. She could withdraw her scepter fast enough and stabbed the bear. It roared in despair and melted away, leaving behind a large chest with a purple glow. xMori opened it and removed a pulsating medal called ‘Sakuns Heart’. Xertini and OnlyYours continued dispatching the endless rush of ice soldiers. Xertini collapsed to her knee’s but continued casting. The soldiers stopped coming and they turned to their left. The group reassembled by OnlyYours and Xertini. An elf was walking towards them, her feet freezing whatever they touched. She fixed them with her icy blue gaze and asks in a chilling tone
“What are you doing here?”
Before anyone could stop her Xertini shot off
“None of your business. Why are you helping Aquarius? Who do you think you are trying to kill a group of travelers?”
xMori smacked his forehead and the rest just let out exasperated sighs. The icy elf flung her hand, throwing icicles at Xertini. Xertini created a large wall of fire, burning them. As the fire died down, Xertini shot the elf a smug look before xMori’s hand came down on her head. She glared at him and yelled
“OI!”
“Quit throwing your power all about! CONTROL CHILD CONTROL!”
“Why are you lecturing me at a time like this!”
Xertini returned to her feet, wobbling a bit. She switched her gaze back to the other elf who astonishingly did not attack them while they had bickered. She looked down at the ground with glimmering eyes as she said
“I only worked for Aquarius in the hope my people will stay safe.”
OnlyYours watched her warily, never putting her Ephyra staff away as she asked
“Who are you?”
The elf looked up and said
“I am Yuukino, Guardian of the Snow. You freed us from Aquarius’ General.”
She motioned to the medal in xMori’s hand as she continued
“He has many creatures like Sakun, forcing many people of the land to do his bidding.”
Xertini rushed foreward and asked quickly, her voice echoing strong hope
“You know where Aquarius hides?”
Yuukino shook her head, her icy headdress tinkling. Xertini looked down to her feet and murmured a ‘thank you’. She began to walk away towards the next gate when Yuukino says
“But I know where you can find a wonderful Deus ex Machina. She’ll be of more help to you than I would and it’s the least I can do to repay you for freeing us.”

Ok guys here's Chapter five o/

CHAPTER FIVE

OnlyYours scratched at the grains of wood at the table she was seated at. She cast another glance around the Tatakai lobby and grumbled to herself. Why was she leaving on an adventure with these people? ‘Because you wish to protect your friends from the constant murders’ a voice reminded her. She gazed down upon the ring that had “Lyrics” etched into the fine silver metal band. Many of her guild mates suggested she avoid teaming up with Tatakai but desperate times called for desperate measures. She heard footsteps and looked up from the table at the group that assembled. Paperheart had a small bag tied to her left hip and her rod to the other side. xMori looked tired of everything already but there was a fire behind his eyes and what seemed to be mischief. OnlyYours made a note to watch ‘the nerd’ as she had tagged him. Kage was consistently looking at the tiger beside him. It had many bags attached to either side of its saddle and hissed its displeasure quietly. Behind all of them leaning heavily on her crimson stave was that girl. Her entire stomach area was bandaged up and tiny red specs had already formed on it. Her violet eyes were swallowed by sadness but had fierce determination at the same time. There was something else that puzzled OnlyYours but pushed that suspicion to the back of her mind. She asks
“Whats with the bags?”
“We are walking the entire way.”
“Why..”
Xertini looked at OnlyYours and replied
“Because if we just teleport everywhere and don’t check behind gates for hidden passageways we may easily overlook any clues.”
She looks at everyone and says calmly
“You don’t have to come. She’s my sister and it’s my fault she’s gone. You guys may get hurt or killed if you come with me.”
OnlyYours made a ‘tsk’ sound and walked over to Xertini and they stared face to face. She kicked the stave and Xertini immediately fell to the floor. OnlyYours crossed her arms and says
“Oh yes, we are just going to let some injured Sorcerer who cant even stand on her own go out and get beat to a pulp when the nearest monster smells her. Are you sure that wound doesn’t extend to your brain?”
Xertini shot OnlyYours a look that could only be described as hate and embarrassment. She slowly stood back up as OnlyYours continued
“Im going with you to help because I want them gone too. Now, let us stop bickering and be on our way. Xertini I like your determination to go on your own as injured as you are, but you must remember others care too.”
She holds her hand out to Xertini and is surprised at the fierce grip the girl gives it. Xertini gives her a smile and says
“Welcome to the journey to Hell. I hope you like the heat, scholar.”
Xertini limped on out and OnlyYours followed her, smiling to herself and thinking ‘this will be very interesting.’

The crystal sat there, not a scratch on it. Kaiyumie was gasping for air after her sixth attempt at a destruction spell. Paperheart had been right. Casting spells without something to channel the magic was almost painful and wore out the user fast. Kaiyumie felt like giving up when an image of her sister popped up. Xertini, the one that had always been there for her. Xertini, the one who had been down on the ground and under attack when she was hit from behind because Kaiyumie had not warned her in time. Kaiyumie slammed her fist into the icy floor and fixed her anger upon the stubborn crystal. She threw out a Flash skill, yelping as the skill tore the skin of her palm when it was released. The attack hit and blew chunks off of the crystal. She wanted to jump for joy but couldn’t as she heard the door start to click. She quietly ran behind it just as her guard came in. He grumbled as he entered
“Can’t you just stay quiet for a day?!”
He saw the smoking crystal and curiously walked over to it. An idea hit Kaiyumie then and she blew another flash at it. The remaining crystal blew up, shooting crystal shards everywhere. A few hit the guards leg and he fell, swearing in a language Kaiyumie had never heard before nor cared about at that moment. She ran out the door and bolted it shut from the outside. She stood there against the door before making it to the one she had seen before. She inserted magic and grinned when the door pushed outward slightly. She saw that it was an old shaman’s house. She quietly shut the door behind her, making sure not to relock it and trap herself. Kaiyumie saw an empty floor cabinet and crawled in to hide out the coming storm.

Ur had her hands on her hips, glaring at her assistant. He was sitting on the ground, plucking crystal shards out of his left leg. He saw her and grinned sheepishly and said
“We had an explosive party.”
Ur fought the urge to grin and strolled over to her assistant. She proceeded to heal his wounds as she lecture him about letting his guard down after he told her his account. After his cuts were healed he looked at her and said
“Aqua is going to kill us.”
“Gee alpha, I hadn’t thought of that at all.”
“Think of it next time then?”
Ur gave him a glare that wiped the smug look of his face. Alphanumeric got back up, testing his left leg before putting his full weight on it. He pulled out his daggers and they both left to find their escaped prisoner.

Sorry for all the typo's in this. Still in rough draft format.

Alright guys im adding last of Chapter 3 and all of Chapter 4 since alot of you have been asking me in PM's in game.

Kage clears his throat and says
“No one has seen the Crusader that attacked you. It’s been two weeks and surely someone would have seen her by now.”
Kaiyumie continues to scratch Bite’s ears. Had she imagined the crusader? No, she couldn’t have. Bite’s face was evidence it had been real. She shuttered from the recollection. Suddenly Xertini was beside her and there was a mischievous glint in her eyes. xMori was lecturing to Kage about his laziness and was obviously distracted so he couldn’t pay attention to his pupil. Xertini whispers
“Lets go exploring. I want to see Nightfall Shelter.”
Kaiyumie’s eyes widened and she hissed
“No way! You still cant control your powers enough! What if we get attacked?!”
“Hey! I can control them just fine.”
“Tell that to paperhearts wardrobe you blew out the window last week when you sneezed.”
Xertini frowns and continues
“Come on, we are just going to look around. Fine. You don’t have to go since you’re a chicken.”
“Me a chicken? Bring it loose cannon.”
Xertini hid her smile of triumph and they quietly went outside and teleported to Nightfall Shelter. The map was extremely dark, an aura of evil emitting from everything. Kaiyumie grabbed her sister’s sleeve and they proceeded.

Aquarius stepped over the woman Saint he had just killed. He glared at the form with disgust. The kill had been to easy. He glanced over at MiSHART and saw that she too was disgusted by her kill. Aquarius looked around at the never ending sand and ask’s himself
“Is the gods temple here?”
There was a squeak to his left and he looked over with an annoyed look. It quickly became a malicious grin as he realized it was his long lost prey. He motioned to MiSHART and she followed. Today they would not fail, Aquarius would be sure of that.

Kaiyumie stopped dead in her tracks, frozen with fear. The Crusader that had attacked her and Bite was coming. Xertini looked at her sister and followed her gaze. Anger filled her features and she pointed at the Crusader with her Crimson Stave as Kaiyumie screamed
“Wait don’t!”
It was too late. The Crusader went flying through the air. Xertini’s triumph was short lived when she was hit with the end of a staff. She fell to the ground and rolled to the left, narrowly avoiding a stab from the pointed scepter. Kaiyumie attacked the Wizard from behind, beating him in the head. The Crusader had gotten up and with the hilt of her sword, slammed it into the back of Kaiyumie’s neck. She immediately collapsed into a pile on the ground. Xertini felt an anxiety attack coming on and she lunged at them with everything she had. She set the Wizard on fire, only to have the fire freeze and shatter. The Crusader ducked under the flames and ran her blade through Xertini. All of the heat of battle ebbed quickly from Xertini. The Crusader withdrew her blade and Xertini fell back on her back. The sand beneath her started to turn black. The wizard walked over to Kaiyumie and removed all of her scrolls and took away her ring, proof that she had belonged to Tatakai. He stomped it to pieces and returned to Xertini. She had rolled over onto her stomach and was reaching for her sister. The Wizard told his accomplice
“MiSHART go on ahead. I’ll catch up after I have a few nice words with this thing.”
MiSHART grabbed Kaiyumie by the back of her shirt and opened a scroll. They were gone in seconds and Xertini gurgled her sisters name in an attempt to yell. The Wizard kneeled next to her and placed an object next to her. It was Kaiyumie’s missing necklace. The Wizard said to her
“Something to remember her by.”
Memories of Xertini’s mother came up. “A gift to remember mommy by.” Xertini spat blood into the Wizards face and he back handed her. He got up and also teleported away. Xertini felt the tears run as she squeezed Kaiyumie’s necklace in her hand. Why hadn’t she listened? Xertini told herself she deserved death and surrendered to the tides of darkness.

CHAPTER FOUR

Kage yawned as xMori kept going on and on about his lack of enthusiasm for work. Rabid knocking on the door stopped xMori and he grumbled something about unwanted visitors. He opened the door and horror etched his features. A woman was holding his pupil. “Or what remained of her”, he thought. He asks her as he takes Xertini
“What happened?!”
“I don’t know. I was looking for the people who had killed my guild mates when I found her. She was barely alive and I saw her ring I immediately rushed here.”
“Come in and I’ll ask our leader for a change of clothes for you after we help Xertini.”
The Sorcerer followed them in and Kage says drowsily
“Coming back to lecture me?”
xMori zoomed by and up the stairs to paperheart s room. Kage follows and heard a paperheart’s “oh my god”, which made him quicken his pace. Paperheart told xMori to lay Xertini on a spare couch then quietly whispered
“Get out.”
“I want to be of assistance. You can’t handle some-“
“I. Said. Get. Out.”
xMori heard the venom dripping for each word and hurried out, shooing Kage out as well, and he shut the door behind him.
“Mind telling me why you ran up here?”
“My idiot pupil apparently went on her own adventure and got herself nearly killed.”
“How bad is the injury?”
“I couldn’t see it for all the blood but it is definitely going to leave a scar.”
They headed back down to the lobby and sat in silence. Hours passed and paperheart finally came down to them. She told them Xertini would live and demanded to know what happened. She saw the Sorcerer who had brought Xertini and said quietly
“Hello OnlyYours. I thank you for bringing her back when you did.”
xMori went to get OnlyYours a new set of clothes and paperheart asked
“Any idea who it was?”
“More than likely it was Aquarius and MiSHART. They’ve been killing a lot of people lately and your friend was muttering “Kill MiSHART” over and over until she stopped and I thought she was dead then.”
paperheart looked around and said
“Kage..”
“hm?”
“Where’s Kaiyumie?”
“This Kaiyumie must have owned these.”
OnlyYours pulled out a broken Tatakai ring and a bloodied necklace. Paperheart began crying at the sight of them and prayed that Kaiyumie was safe.

Kaiyumie woke up and saw ice. She glanced around, trying to see where she was. It was solid ice and crystals all over. She saw a door and quietly ran to it. It was an easy lock she saw, and inserted a small amount of magic into it. She heard a soft click and the door opened. She stepped quietly out into a hall of more crystal. Kaiyumie glanced at the shadows under the crystals. She kept getting this eerie feeling she was being watched. She heard footsteps and she immediately ducked behind a crystal and peered out over it. A saint walked past and towards another door. It appeared to be the same as the door she had just opened so Kaiyumie slowly got up when a dagger was placed onto her neck. The cold metal told her not to move an inch and a voice followed
“My my we have a little mouse trying to go back to its hidey hole.”
The Saint hears this and walks back over to them.
“I told you that door was too simple to keep a magic user in.”
“So put a ward around the lock.”
Kaiyumie captor spun her around and back to her dungeon. He shoved her in and slammed the door shut. She tried her magic again and saw it failed. She started kicking the door and a muffled voice from behind the door said
“You break it you buy it.”
Kaiyumie ignored him and kept kicking until her legs couldn’t hold her up anymore. She fell to her knee’s and glared holes through the door. Her mind was set on escaping and finding her sister. Nothing would stop her, not even some cheap door.

IGN : Smoochie

I replied to your comment explaining about Deus Ex Machina Xertini, but thought I'd put it here too so more people learn what the expression means and where it comes from.

In ancient Greek theatre, Deus Ex Machina is a deity that appears sometimes to give solutions to problems mortals might be facing that make them desperate and doubting their existence.
So when somebody has a very serious problem and a solution comes from nowhere, like divine intervention, we call that "Deus ex machina".
What it means in Latin is "god coming from the machine", and the ancient Greeks called it that because the Deity that was coming appeared on stage through a machine that lowered them down, as if they were flying down, or presented them above the stage and the mortals, watching them.

Hahaha noooo! In ancient Greek theatre, Deus Ex Machina is a deity that appears sometimes to give solutions to problems mortals might be facing that make them desperate and doubting their existence.

Deus ex machina is the one who controls time and space of the world wahahahaha nice nice

IGN: Dap

make him wash my clothes. >

ok here's the rest of Chapter two and part of chapter three:


MiSHART quietly followed the unicorn. She hid in the shadows with her black griffon. It made soft noises that sounded like a mix of chirping and purring. Kaiyumie pulled her unicorn to a stop, looking around for the tiger. The unicorn kept moving about in circles, fear radiating from it. The tiger burst out and knocked the unicorn down. Kaiyumie fell onto the ground and rolled over twice. As she got to her feet the tiger lunged. She touched her Crimson Torch in time and summoned a blue tree. The tree lifted the tiger into the air. MiSHART grew impatient with watching and decided to test this prophet. She came from her hiding spot and with one swift blow, impaled the tiger in the face. The tree bursts into pieces and Kaiyumie stares at the incoming crusader with fear. She swallows hard and throws dust into MiSHART’s eyes. Kaiyumie dove under the crusaders blade, her side gaining a deep gash as she went to the dying tiger. She threw up a red barrier barely in time. The barrier became cracked and Kaiyumie quickly healed the tiger then herself. MiSHART saw this and stopped her attack. She pulled out a scroll and whistled as the letters began to brighten. Her griffon shot out of its hiding spot and as it zoomed by Kaiyumie, its front feet grasped her silver necklace. It lands by MiSHART and they disappear into the blue twister. Kaiyumie looked at the tiger and whispered to it, promising everything would be fine.

CHAPTER THREE

xMori pinched the bridge of his nose and asked with disdain
“I understand wanting to save animals and take them as pets. A bird, cat, or dog is fine, but….tigers that tried to EAT us? I would like to disagree.”
Xertini snickered at xMori’s displeasure. He retaliated with a whack to the back of the head with his book.
“Another verse giggle-box.”
“Oh come on.”
“Fine, two verses.”
Kaiyumie pets Tatakai’s new pet. They had given it an eye patch to cover the stab wound and fashioned it with a saddle also. Only paperheart and Kaiyumie were able to seat upon it. Kaiyumie scratched the tigers ears and said
“Technically he is a cat. Plus Bite’s super sweet now.”
xMori’s face twitched as he replied
“’Bite’….the irony.”
“Only if he bit you.”
The guild doors opened and Kage strolled in, placing his sword and shield on a nearby table before stretching out on a couch. He looks at Xertini and sends her a smile. She returns it by giving him the bird before reading once again.

^ Yay! Yes pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's whats been typed for Chapter Two so far. Still transferring it and Chapters 3 and 4 from my journal at the moment lol

CHAPTER TWO

Kaiyumie sat next to paperheart as they watched Xertini nearly kill her teacher numerous times with sparks. When one zoomed too close xMori would yelp. Finally xMori stopped for a break. Xertini walked over to a surviving tree and collapsed under it. paperheart motioned for Kaiyumie to follow her. They walked over to the burnt fields, where paperheart touches a tree that was still ablaze. The flames go out and the tree blossomed new leaves. Kaiyumie stared with an open mouth. Eager to do the same, she cast a glowing circle of blue light. The grasses began to rise from their pitiful state back to complete green blades. Unbeknownst to them, a tiger had prowled over to their field. It smelt them and growled. Both girls stiffen and slowly turn to stare at it before screaming and running. They climb the tree that paperheart had healed. xMori peers around a different tree at the sudden noise. When he catches sight of the tiger he yanks Xertini with him. He says to her
“Maybe your excessive fire will come in handy. Go distract that tiger.”
“WHAT?!”
The tiger hears this and turns towards Xertini. Xertini gulps and takes off at full speed. The tiger follows in hot pursuit. Kaiyumie yelled after her sister, fearing for her safety. xMori helped them out of the tree and says
“Go help Xertini.”
He opens a scroll, the letters written on it brighten to an iridescent blue. A blue twister engulfs him and when it disperses he is gone. Kaiyumie summoned her unicorn mount and rode after the tiger. The tiger smelt the unicorn and pursued Kaiyumie instead. Xertini takes deep breaths and runs after them, occasionally stumbling and requiring help from paperheart.

hmm. You could be Ur's assistant: Assassin of the Shadows?

if you can explain to me what that is i can blend it into my story~
