(Anti-Hero Path) Coastal City, G'hilt

[Raven Kouryuu]

Fen sighed, taking advantage of a nearby bench to sit and rest. Freya had gotten angry at her, again, and run off. She had been looking for the girl for a while now, but it was possible that she had chosen to leave for good. She had taken all of her things, what few she had with her, though in Fen's opinion she hadn't seemed ready to assimilate quite yet. 'Meh, it's her loss. She chose it and it's no longer my business,' she thought. With that, she decided that she might as well head home. The girl knew where it was and could make it there if she needed to. No sense in waiting for her here. First, however, she wanted to explore the city. It was known for it's market, like most coastal towns, and she wanted to see what kind of magical items and spells could be found. Decision made, she headed towards the business end of the city.

Shizriu walked into the coastal city of G'hilt, he was looking for some food and needed some place to sleep since he hadn't slept for three days. He also wanted to see what kind of jobs he could find. He needed the money, so he set off for the market with his tails doing a Half happy, half sleepy wag. He sat down at the nearest ramen shop and had ordered a bowl of spicy thick noodle ramen. When he finished he had rose from his seat and exited the shop feeling the strange stares of people unfamiliar of R'akd people. He then walked to a tree and took a nap under its shade to save money since he was still curious about if there was any good paying jobs he could get he smirked with the thought of the possibility of making some well needed money...

[Raven Kouryuu]

She picked her way through the crowds, wandering fairly aimlessly, choosing stalls that looked interesting. So far she hadn't spotted anything worth buying. Most of the stalls sold food and exotic spices, very few had any sort of magical artifacts, and most of those that did were merely trinkets for luck or love. Nothing of any value, no tomes or writs. Which, she supposed, was to be expected. She turned down another row of stalls when her stomach growled. Fen thought back, and realized that she could remember exactly when she last ate. It wasn't something she thought of often, since she didn't need to worry about starving to death, but it was an unpleasant ordeal, and she was still in public view. She made her way over to one of the stalls, and managed to catch the attention of the owner. "Do you know of any cheap, clean inns nearby?" she asked straightforwardly. "There's one down at the end of this road, to your left. 'S a little pricey for the area, but 's a respectable joint. The mistress serves up good grub too," he replied, clearly eying the spade on her back. She nodded and made her way down the road. The prospect of food had her stomach rumbling in anticipation. And it wouldn't hurt to take the night off of traveling. As she drew close to the inn, she noticed a Rakd person sleeping under a tree. She stored this tidbit of information in her head; people from the Rakd tribes were often dangerous, especially on business. Having no reason really to deal with him though, kept her from being actively worried, and she continued into the inn, reserving a room and sitting down to grab a bite to eat.

[~FW~BATMAN]

Shizriu woke up and cracked his neck, he was alittle sore and realized that sleeping under a tree wasn't the best idea. So he started up to an inn that was near by that he had heard was cheap. He walked in and had felt the strange wave of stares and walked up and asked for a room. He then walked up to the room and had taken off his black trench coat and his Naginata ,Razar he then walked out of the room and caught a wiff of food that smelt good and headed in that direction and stopped and saw a board that had jobs that had what looked like it paid out good. He took a hunting job and he had put on his samurai helmet (which resembled a ninja samurai type thing **i forgot to put that in bio... i should do so soon **) He then headed out using Shun po *Flash step* a signiture move known to all of Rakd people. He didn't have to travel far to find the person he was hunting. He used Shun po to get behind the man without him knowing so that he could toy with him, Shizriu had a few shots of whiskey on the way to find the wanted man and he was feeling the urge to toy with him. He tapped the man on his shoulder then used Shun Po and kept at this then he started to get sick of this and he killed the man and took the body to the man who hired him and was paid very well. He then went back to the Inn and started to walk back to his room.....

/Ace walked off of the small vessel that he had been traveling on for the last 2 days and finally arrived in G'hilt but he was off by a day since the shit had to take a day's detour due to a massive maelstrom not too far away from where they had been heading so they took a detour to the next closest port and cause him to lose a day's travel so Ace needed to find out where his target had headed now, since he was only going to be in that town for about a few hours "god damn natre had to mess up my plans" Ace looked around at the harbor of the city and decided to just stay around for a while and recover since the sea was not his favorite place to be. besides he knew he could catch his target once he managed to get ahold of any info about his whereabouts and who knows they man may have even stopped by this city while traveling. Ace looked around and started to wander looking for a place to stay for a while to rest and noticed a decent looking inn and walked in and lay on one of the seats in the lobby and closed his eyes for a while.

[~FW~BATMAN]

Shizriu walked into his room and laid down on the bed. He decided to go to sleep since he was going to get up early for anouther job so he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep. A couple of hours later he had awoken and had started to pace restlessly around his room. He anxiously was waiting for the crack of dawn. He couldn't help but to pace out of impatience. He then took his Naginata, Razar outside and started to train abit...

[Kuro Shizshiro]

Vincent arrived in G'hilt and decided to unload shop in the marketplace.As he walked around and looked for the marketplace he was deciding if he should look for work or just laze around and sell stuff. Then he said screw it and found a nice shady spot to set up shop. The day went on and Vincent sold some nice items but sadly he didn't have to stop someone from stealing so it was a boring day. Eventually Vincent got bored and packed up shop and headed to find someone to get something to eat and drink. He found a nice Inn and figured he can stay a few nights and grab some food to so he reserved a room and headed to get a bite to eat. He entered the diner/bar of the Inn Vincent thought it was nice and cozy beside the smell of beer and alcohol at least. Vincent sat at a table and ordered a burger and a shot a Jagger. Vincent Typically doesnt a drinker but he drinks when he has alot on his mind. He took Lunaris and sat it on the side of his chair just in case i fight started. Vincent sat drank a little more and ate more. When he was done he reclined in his chair with a toothpick in his mouth looking around for people he could sell stuff too since he didnt want create a disturbance without one being started on its own. So Vincent sat back and waited for the right customer. After awhile Vincent grew bored of wanting in the Inn diner so he grabbed Lunaris and headed back to the market place. He set up shop layed out his magic books and spell artifacts someone might like he figured since this was a market place someone might want to buy these old manuscripts cause they were boring the hell out of him so he;s willing to sell and bargain with whoever buys them cause since he had no blacksmithing supplies he should get Lunaris enchanted so he sat and waited for some bussiness or a fight.

[A.C.E.]

/after resting for a bit Ace got up and started asking questions to the owner of the inn about the man that he needed to hunt but to no avaail was he able to get any information about him, so Ace got out and headed for the mail area to see if maybe there would be a message from one of the others about how they were lucky enough to have located him but when he got there there was nothing except one of the data messages from Roberts who was doing survelance and research while hunting down the guy and since there seemed to be no news as to who where the man was Ace decided to train for a bit just in case he had to actually do some work if he found the man besides being on a boat for a while cramped up makes you start to cramp up so Ace headed for a nearby park and started to excercise without his halberd since if he did it might attract people to him and he disliked having to fight weaklings before getting warmed up.

[Raven Kouryuu]

After finishing her meal she went up to the room that she had booked and placed her stuff in there. She was tired of carrying it all around, even though she had enchanted the bag to keep it from being heavy. She didn't worry about anyone stealing it, not only was there nothing of value in there to anyone but her, anyone foolish enough to touch the bags would find themselves in a bind until she chose to release them. She wasn't tired yet, so she decided to return to the marketplace and continue looking. She wouldn't stay in town much longer then tomorrow morning, so she might as well look while she was here.

She scowled upon reaching the market, finding it more crowded then when she had left. Crowds were loud, and often composed of ignorant peasants and foolish tourists. But within minutes she spotted a stall that looked promising. The vendor seemed less like a vendor and more like a person accustomed to fighting, but she spotted several tomes and scrolls and decided to investigate. If he was a brawler, he'd be quite surprised to find her yueya chan as being more dangerous then he might assume, though she would more likely just walk away versus rise to his bait. Though several of the scrolls looked interesting, one really caught her eye. She unfurled a small corner, and what she saw caught her interest. "May I have a closer look at this scroll?" she asked, holding it up gingerly.

[Kuro Shizshiro]

Vincent threw a sour strip in his mouth and looked around. He noticed a young lady with a weapon looking at him, He reached for Lunaris but the girl got close to him and asked if she could see a scroll. He reached for it and handed it too her. " yea sure just dont try to run." He flipped lunaris opened and smirked. He glanced at her. " Ill make you a deal depending on what you buy." Vincent smiled and tossed another stripped in his mouth and reclined back.

[Raven Kouryuu]

Fen blinked monotonously at his posturing and returned his smirk with a bored, blank face. She wasn't here to fight, or even show off. She wanted new scrolls. She gently took the scroll form him and unfurled it carefully. Bringing it close to her face, she confirmed her suspicion that it was written in her native dialect. It was rare to find anything readable, much less anything useful, which this scroll was not. It was a recipe for roast duck, though she was probably the last person who could identify it as such. She'd leave it for another person to ponder over. She placed the scroll down back where it belonged and resumed browsing. She selected a small book, fairly recent. It couldn't have been over one hundred years old, but the cover seemed interesting enough. She leafed through the pages, finding several spells and diagrams to be worthwhile. She set it down nearby, mentally noting that she wanted that book. A closer inspection of the same pile of books lead to the discovery that quite a few were written by the same person, and those that weren't contained things she hadn't yet read. By the time she was done browsing, she had a sizable stacks of books. "What's your asking price for these books?"

[Kuro Shizshiro]

He watched her pick up some more books and skim through them. sh finally finished with a stack and asked for the price. He smiled " Well seeing how your probably the only person in the world who might be able to read it and since i can tell you do enchanting." He lifted Lunaris up and set it on the table. " You give me a couple enchants and a few pieces of gold and we can call this even also I normally find stuff like this everywhere so if we keep in touch after this exchange ill keep you posted and give you first peeks into the inventory that sound fair." He looked at her and hoped she agreed.

[Raven Kouryuu]

Not wanting to seem too eager, she deliberately took a few seconds to ponder it. In reality, it was a fair trade, would save her several Naes, and the prospect of getting first pick at new tomes and scrolls was a very tempting deal. "Sure," she said, placing Lunaris closer to her. "What do you want done to it?" she asked while rummaging through her many purses, grabbing the things she normally used for enchanting, as well as pulling out a one-hundred Nae coin. She couldn't do all of her normal enchantments at the moment, since her more complicated maneuvers required items she had left in her room, but she could do all the basic enchantments with what she had on hand.

[Kuro Shizshiro]

Kenji smiled " what can you do to it if you need supplies i got them in the back." He looked at lunaris " This is a important to me its the only thing i got left from my family, but if you can i would like to bump all the attributes and between me and you my element is wind and dont worry im not looking for a fight or anything just need to be at my best and i can't have rust wear and tear on it." Vincent walked to the back of the stand and grabbed a chest and sat it on the table. He opened the chest to show the enchanting material just in cause the new lady needed it. " My name is Vincent Vincent Vann how about you."

[Raven Kouryuu]

She looked at the chest of ingredients and pulled out several bottles and pouches. The spell for wear and tear was easy, it was more just altering the properties of the weapon itself, the boosts would be what she needed the ingredients for. The only thing she was missing, however, was a vial of foxfire. She scowled lightly, not wanting to make the trip just for one vial, when she remembered that she had a small golem with her. Now would be just as good a time to test it as any. She pulled it out of a pouch and released it into the air. It hovered nearby, waiting for instructions. "Return to my room and fetch me a vial of foxfire. Return to me when you have it." she said sternly, before watching it fly off towards the inn.

First, she set up an isolation around the weapon and her, so that no stray charms made their way in. Next she took her pencil and scribbled several runes around and on the weapon. She pulled out a small stick with an even smaller diamond attached to the end, using it to scratch a tiny rune into the edge of the blade carefully, to keep the blade from dulling or breaking. She then took a thin sheet of plastic and wrapped the blade in it, so that she could take the non-rusting properties from it and place them in the blade. In the last layer she wrapped a small compass and a small shard of glass; the former to keep the blade straight and to ward against warping, the second to help keep it clean and to cut smoothly. Her preparations complete, and though definitely different then any used in the present day and age they were guaranteed to be more effective, she began reciting the spell to keep the blade in good condition. By the time she was done, she figured her golem would be back and she could do the second enchantment.

[Kuro Shizshiro]

Vincent watch the lady start to enchant the blade and sent a golem out to fetch the last ingredient she needed. he thought he should stock up next time he went shopping but figured he was set for now. He sat down at the front of his stand outside the circle the girl had drawn. He looked at her " Your appearance is young but i can tell by your is techniques your alot older than portrayed." He studied what she was doing and remembered something about the blade " Hey watch where your press the blade separates into part and it doubles as a gun." He noticed she was careful and very skilled he looked at the sky thanks for doing this i didn't think you would and by the way i didn't catch your name."

[Raven Kouryuu]

She didn't acknowledge his first comment, due mostly in part to being absorbed in her work. She was done quickly and took note of his warning about the blade and cleared it off carefully. As she finished packing it away, he asked her for her name. "Fen, Fen Bai." she said, not remembering to ask for his name. This fact was quickly forgotten when her golem landed on the table, vial in it's mouth. "Good work," she told it, before returning it to it's pouch. She made a mental note of it's success, and that she needed to make several more. They would come in handy for fetching small items and taking care of small tasks.

She erased the runes she had drawn in pencil and set up a new isolation, this one smaller to concentrate the power better. She brought out the diamond stick again, this time lightly etching wind-aligned runes down the side of the blade. They wouldn't be easily visible, so as to keep the enchantment discreet and to keep it from interfering with her earlier work. She opened a pouch of diamond powder and sprinkled it over the blade, to help amplify the power of the blade, and the power of the enchantment she was going to lay on it. Over that, she sprinkled various powders, which left a light yellow coating on the blade. The last thing was the foxfire. She used a small notch in the vial to make a tiny incision on her finger, and dropped two drops of blood into it, making it glow sky blue. She poured it into the runes and began the enchantment. It took even less time then the first one, being only a boost to what was already there. When she was done, the blade was clean and she handed it to the man. "It's done. The first one will keep it from rusting, scratching, dulling, warping, bending, and or any other number of things and it shouldn't need to be renewed any time soon. Odds are, it'll probably outlast you before it begins to wear out. The second boosts its effectiveness and it's powers. Again, you shouldn't need to renew it."

[Kuro Shizshiro]

Vincent caught the ladies name it was Fen Bai and by the time he finished his thoughts the golem had returned and she started enchanting the other one. He noticed she ignored his first statement but was fine since she was busy. Fen finished with his blade and she gave him a quick run down of everything. After the run through he gripped it in his hand and liked the feel. He looked at Fen with a smile and a piece of candy in his mouth" Thanks alot and since you didnt catch it the first time my name is Vincent, Vincent Vann if you ever need a blacksmith or some merc work you can find me for that too. Is there anything else I can get you or help you with." Vincent looked at Fen examining her just in case she was tring to double cross him.

[Raven Kouryuu]

"It's a pleasure meeting you," she said, nodding courteously out of old habits. And, of all the strangers she'd met, he was one of the most interesting, and helpful. "If you could help me get these books back to the Inn that I'm staying at, it would be most helpful. I can get them if you're busy, but it would be easier if you could help," she said, stacking the books neatly so they could be carried easier.

[A.C.E.]

/after warming up with a few stretches, Ace started to run around the small park area he was training in, but soon got bored of running around in circles, and so he started working on leg excercises and worked out various muscles in the leg , after working half-heartedly on his leg muscles he started training his arms but after working on his arms for a while his left arm started to hurt again, due to the seal on his arm, but luckily he had brought a potion that helped to eliminate the pain in his arm, but after it seemed he was low on the potion so he didn't have enough to last for the rest of his training, so Ace got up and decided to put a pause on his training until he could find another vial of the stuff, so Ace left the park and went to the marketplace to see if he could find one of those wandering merchants who set up shop while journeying, since all of the local shops the the coastal regions were either too expensive or were too poor to have the potion he needed. so Ace headed off to one of the stalls and saw a man getting his weapon enchanted and decided to go up and check to see if he had a vial, and so Ace walked up and looked around and noticed a collection of vials, and saw one that was the same color as the one he uses, but he had to be careful since there were two different potions that have that same color and he didn't want to end up with animal parts growing again like last time. So Ace asked the man selling the potion "he i was wondering, if i could test this potion to see if it's the one i need, cause i've had too many times where i got the wrong one, just one drop should be enough to test to see if it's the correct one."
