Before he could get the vials in the bag a man walked up and asked if he could test one out. Vincent looked at him and reached for lunaris just in case he was gonna run. " Sure you can the Names Vincent Vaan i got all your needs i aint got it i can get it also blacksmith." He looked at the man and examined him and turned to Fen " So we'll go after this."

/Ace was glad that the man was willing to let him test the vial first but noticed the man grabbed ahold of something most likely some weapon thinking he was going to steal from him, but he had no intention to do so, besides if he really wanted to he could have stolen most of the stuff that he had before he even noticed it, but Ace was in a good mood and just wanted to get something to help with the pain in his arm. Ace then held the vial and let one drop land on his arm and waited a few seconds and then the spot around where the drop had landed started to feel a little numb which meant that it was the correct potion and so Ace reached into his bag on his side and pulled out a several Naes and gave it to the man as he said "don't worry you can keep the remainder" and then Ace took the potion and took a bit of it and applied in on his arm and then sighed in relief and put the vial in his bag. then he noticed the man and the woman taking some of the stuff and getting ready to pack up, Ace thought to himself, well it's a good thing i got here before they left, otherwise i may have ended up having to wander around for a while more before finding another merchant selling it. Ace then let that train of thought leave his mind and then put the vial in his bag and walked away back towards the inn in hopes of just sitting and letting his mind wander while he thought about what he ought to do next til he found the man he had been sent to hunt

He put his blade away and watch the man apply the potion to his arm. Vincent knew that the potion he was applying was for pain which mean something was wrong with him. The man handed him some money and told him to keep the change. He turned to Fen and said lets go which this books. Vincent lifted so books and waited on Fen

Fen vaguely payed attention to the man buying the potion, but wasn't really interested. She began spacing out a little, bored, but snapped out of it when Vincent picked up half of the books. She lifted her half into her arms and began heading towards the inn. "It's not far from here, just down this street," she said, noticing the sun beginning to set. She made a mental note to go to bed not long after she finished packing the books. She didn't plan on staying long tomorrow, planning on leaving just after dawn. It was a ways to travel on foot, and she was hoping to get to the next town and maybe buy a horse to make the going easier.

Vincent walking with the books. "that inn im staying there too how long do you plan on staying." he asked curiously, he was hoping Fen would invite him to travel along it had been awhile since he had a traveling buddy let alone any friends or anyone who could tolerate. He was hoping he made a friend today but if not well shit he would kinda sad but he'll get over it. He stuck anyother candy in his mmouth and kept walking.

"I leave tomorrow morning. My ward ran off, so I'm returning to my home, in Tar'he," she said. She had a feeling he was hoping to be invited, but if he found out where she lived, and heard the rumors that surrounded her home, he might figure out her secret, and she would not allow for that. She had just met him, she had no idea if he could keep a secret, and even if he could, immortality was much-sought after. "How long will you be staying?" she continued. Regardless of his motives for asking, he seemed helpful enough, and at least a good deal trustworthy. Maybe if they were heading the same way for a while, she might travel with him, if he didn't slow her down or cause her trouble. She was loathe to admit it, but with Freya gone she was a tad bit lonely, and traveling together was safer, though it wasn't much of a concern for her.

/After spending some time thinking about the man he was sent to kill he realized that he hadn't checked the mail today, hoping that maybe one of the other members had found out somethign yet and so he walked over there and looked found that there were 2 messages for him one from Urufu and one from Roberts, but he decided to look at the one from Urufu first since the one from Roberts was most likely just some update and data again like usual, but Ace figured it would probably be better to read the report away from people at the mail center and as he looked trough it he started cursing because Urufu had taken out the man and so this time Urufu would be getting the majority of the money, so Urufu headed back to the mail center and made a message for the command post that Urufu had taken the man out and that they needed to send the money out for them, but just as he was about to send it a personal hawk from the HQ had arrived on his arm Ace thought this was weird cause they normally don't send a personal hawk out to him but he opened the letter and it was telling him how there was somebody that had requested help immediately from the Cei nation and that they personally requested Ace to help them in protecting something valuable partially because he was the closest to the location and so Ace took the letter he had just written and attached the letter to it figuring it would be better this way instead of having to pay for those stupid unreliable hawks to deliver it.
Ace then went back to the inn and started to gather his things to travel to the next city.

Vincent opened the door at the Inn " i don't know when im leaving yet im just here til i get bored or someone i meet asks me to tagg along which would be nice after 5 years of traveling alone you get kinda lonely." Vincent looked yup with a sour strip hanging out his mouth. " So do you travel along alone a lot or is there someone normally following you or stalking you or something." he started to laugh as they headed for her room. As they headed to the room he noticed the man from the shop who just purchased the vial he seemed to be curing when a messenger hawk landed on him. It's not usual you see a messenger hawk, Vincent looked at Fen " So what do you think his problem is you think he lost some bounty to some old bastard." Vincent started to laugh.

Fen chewed at the corner of her mouth. She wasn't good at small talk, but after years of listening to Freya babble on, she felt the need to reply anyway. "I don't travel often, alone or otherwise, this being my first outing in years. A young woman I was in charge of asked me to accompany her and teach her about the world in return for her help with some of my studies. She left me a while before I arrived here, presumably to finish traveling alone. She's a capable fighter, so I'm not worried." When Vincent pointed out the man from earlier with a messenger hawk , she turned her head to look, before continuing up the stairs. Truth be told, she preferred using the hawks, like the old days. The little wireless things that people used more often were annoying, reminding her of the foolish idiots who said magic was useless and focused on building things, completely ignoring and shunning what was a valuable resource. "I don't know. He may be on a job or something." When they reached her room, she opened the door and placed the books she was carrying on the table in the room. "If you'd like, you can travel with me for a while. I'm heading north-east into D'niw first, to acquire a horse. All I ask is that any trouble you get into, is your trouble to deal with, and that you don't slow me down. Fair enough to you?"

Vincent's Jaw dropped and shuttered " Your going to D'win..... well i would love to travel with you and okay it's a deal." Vincent put the books down and reached into his back pocket. " Well in return for letting me travel with you have this." he handed her a really old dusty tomb. " I hope it's valuable to you its one of my firsts finds in a tomb i forgot where its been so long but i hope it does some good." He stood there and smiled.

After Ace gathered his belongings he walked over to the man who owned the inn and paid him his money and then started out the door and walked to the entrance of the city and headed northeast to the town where his client told him to meet him. Ace left the city and as he was walking along the road he paused and said out loud "ok you 4 better scram before you get yourselves into trouble, cause i'm not your average weak traveler that you can beat up and then steal from" Ace realized that they had stopped, figuring that they were contemplating if they should actually attack him or not, but the moment that Ace started to move thye jumped out and started their assault. Ace then distraught that they actually didn't listen to his warning grabbed one of them by their arm and threw him into the ground and ripped the knife that was in his hand and threw it into the second man's right shoulder and then fell to the ground and tripped the thrid guy who landed on the first guy with a deadly crack, and thne the last guy stood there not sure what had just happened "ya know if you guys don't want to get in trouble with your boss i overheard a few people saying they may come this way as well, so i suggest you guys hurry and get patched up and attack them instead for going at me again" Ace then dusted off his cloak and continued on his way "man now i'm going to be a little later" Ace said as he continued down the road to the next town.

*0.o..... hrm.... i missed alot..... hahaha..... imma try and get a whole crap load of writting done here then... and try and catch up somehow....* Shizriu decided that there was no need to train anymore.... and decided that this town wasn't fun anylonger.... he didn't really care for shopping and he didn't need food that instant... so he decided he was going to gather all of his things and leave.... where to, he didnt know... so he went up to the room and got ready to head out of the town... he walked out of the inn, ears perked... trying to find what direction he should go... but he didnt know where he was going anyway.... so he decided to walk around to try and find some way.... he didnt like walking around in the light, he was use to using shun po to get around by shadow.... he contemplated on doing so but felt that he should atleast try and explore a bit.... he got to a road that would have lead him out of the town.... and stood there.... looking out at the distance.... he didnt know if he should travel that path alone.... he stood around staring out the distance for a bit more before hearing foot steps aproaching him... he saw a young child staring up at him.... Shizriu had usually felt a bit of anger when stared at... but he patently watched the child cautiously... the child let out a small giggle and grabbed onto shizriu's cloak.... Shizriu gave a very confused look and stood there watching the child with a bit more of extra caution...........

Three travelers from Te'raw got off a ship in Coastal City, G'hilt. The leader of the travelers was a tall man, his flame red hair barely visible under his headgear and face guard. He wore glasses that blocked out his eyes. Civilians stared in awe at his Riefian high class clothing; which was a regal red kimono, partially hidden by a small leather armor, a spiked shoulder pad, and his baggy pants. He held his sword at his side, as if he was ready to kill anything at any moment. The other traveler was a blond young man wearing a black jinbei, or mini kimono and pants. He had yellow tattoos in the shape of lighting covering his skin and bracelets and anklets that would occasionally spark. The last traveler was a white cloaked young woman, she carried an assortments of bags around her belt and had a scripture draped around the back of her neck and over her chest. A pair of chakrams were hanging around one of the bags.
"So this is the mainland," the leader spoke in a deep voice. "Felix, how many more Valkyrie hearts do we have to get.
"We only have three at the moment," the lighting spotted Felix replied, "and that oracle said you needed twelve Valkyrie hearts to unlock your true power, Lord Matsuo."
"No formalities Felix, we cannot let anyone know that I still live. If one of the fakes find out that I still live, they will find a way to counter our counter-attack."
"So Sigurd, what do we do?" the priestess asked. The trio had exited the port area of the city and entered the trade center.
"We find out where these Valkyries are, take their hearts, and find others who will fight for our cause," Sigurd answered. "I can sense some strong fighters in this city. But, I do not wish to attract too much attention."
"Sigurd, if I may, you may want to change your clothes, they are attracting too much attention as is," Felix observed. And it is true, as the merchants they passed stopped business momentarily just to gawk at the sight of royalty.
"I will find a place to hide out, I will have to ask the two of you to do my bidding," Sigurd planned out. His subordinates agreed. "I will hide away and ensure that no one will find me, not even you two. I will send for messengers to give you instructions. I trust you two will not fail me."
"Sir, I helped you escape death, you saved me from death, your will be done," Felix bowed.
"Y-yes, you also saved me, I must repay my debt! I will not fail as you have not failed me," the priestess bowed.
Sigurd nodded and then disappeared through the crowd. Felix noticed that a letter fell. He quickly scanned the letter. When he was done, he sent electric bolts through his fingers that caused a fire and burned the letter.
"What did Sigurd say?" the priestess asked.
"Hm? Well, his instructions for you are to head north to D'niw. You'll be sent hawk messages the closer you get to your destination. As for me, he wants me to clear a herd of Soulless that are approaching this city. I wonder what made him order us to do such weird things..." Felix scratched his head, "well, whatever, I'll go out and take care of that herd. Hanako, can you sense them."
Hanako tried to focus her thoughts. Her mind was reaching out to any presence of anything unnatural. But she soon was back to reality, "We will need to be out of the city first, the noise from the city drowns out any trace of the Soulless."
They walked north and ended up outside the city. There, Hanako tried to meditate again. It never ceases to amaze Felix how Hanako does this. She closes her eyes and grips her chakrams in front of her. Then little dots of light float from the ground around her. After a while, the dots create a magic circle around her and she begins to float. The air around her feels mystical. Then, the spell ends. She gently falls back to the ground and the lights are no where to be seen.
"There is a pack of Soulless east of here. Oxen shaped ones, maybe two dozen of them. They aren't that powerful, but if two dozen of them go rampant near the city walls, they could break through," Hanako's ethereal voice spoke.
"You really are something, you know?" Felix grinned.
Hanako opened her eyes and her voice returned to a calm pitch, "So, what is the plan? How will you take them on?"
"One giant lighting edge should do the trick."
A disappointed Hanako responded, "But, last time you tried that, you-"
"Don't remind me! I know what I'm doing. If I'm ever going to beat that damned Uzumaki, I will have to master the lighting edge!" Felix interrupted and his grin faded into anger. But he calmed himself down, "I'm sorry Hanako, but ever since that Uzumaki kidnapped the last Valkyrie from us, I feel... too weak to server Lord Matsuo. But trust me, I will fend off this herd. Lord Matsuo's will be done."
"Yes, I will pray for your victory. I will go north now." The priestess put her chakrams away and started to walk northwards. "Make sure you don't die. The Resistance needs you."
"Don't worry, nothing can kill me. You make sure you don't die, Lord Matsuo needs you." Hanako blushed, but looked away before he could notice. "Do you think you need any mercenaries to protect you on your journey?"
"N-no, I'll be fine. I'm an alchemist. If I have to, I will forge my own bladed weapons to defend myself."
Felix watched Hanako, until she was out of sight, then he began to head eastward. He had a feeling some bystanders nearby heard the conversation.

Shizriu had noticed the presence of three particular individuals to whom he had given most of all his attention to... he had ignored the child who had grown bored of trying to piss Shizriu off by pulling his tails and had inevitably walked off... Shizriu had heard almost all of what had been said thanks to his powerful hearing.... He watched as the three disperced.... and he had grown curious of what they had talked about.... He was so busy trying to understand what had been said that he had stood there in a lost stupor.... totally absorbed in thought.................

After Handing Fen the tomb he walked out the door and looked back. " I'll see you bright and early tomorrow." and smiled and left. Vincent walked out of the Inn and walked to the hill he saw a strange man earlier on. Once he approached the hill he drew Lunaris and grab unfolded it so so both blades were out in opposite directions. He stabbed it into the ground and sat down. He thought to himself " Im going back to D'win i never thought i would be going back so soon... what if she is still after me and or hates me." He got up and Grabbed Lunaris and folded it back and started to spin it from its rotating grab creating a a gentle breeze. Vincent practiced for a few hours not knowing that he was slinging a breeze but a times he was making giant gust fly past. Once he grew tired of just slinging his blade around he went walking down in the marketplace looking to buy ammo for Lunaris so Fen can enchant them. He finally reached a shop which sold the ammo he needed he bought 20,000 rounds seeing how he doesn't use the part part a lot but its just for test and play. After he bought the ammo he went back to the hill and loaded up Lunaris up and just fired a clip of shots in the air and controlled them with the wind, These bullets weren't the normal crap he usually gets these seemed to made of a high metal they were heavy and made for stopping power so it seemed so Vincent had to be careful of what he did so he didn't injury he didn't have too. The girl who he thought about was a great friend of his until they got into a huge fight which destroyed a lot of D'win. The fight had started cause Vincent finally went to far with wanting to attack the royalty. Since Rinna was the one who kept him in check when his plans went to far this was the last straw she was a nice girl element was water was a healer but got bored of it and became one fierce fighter. But that ungrateful day Rinna told him she wanted to join the Librium( the Hero part of this like how the NOL is in Blazblue.) Vincent didn't take well to that since he as been a merc forever and he was against the Librium that and he felt like she would turn him in for tring to kill the royalty. Vincent told her that she wouldnt allow her to foil his plans and Rinna just stared at him and moved her hands around starting to attack, Vincent ducked and dodged and attacked back he didint want too attack her but he had too. The battle went on forever but at the end VIncent got away from Rinna and from what he had heard Rinna is now in D'niw working for the royal court. Vincent snapped back to reality and noticed the bullets he was controlling was going a little hey wire so he gained control and cast them into the water near him so he wouldn't hurt anyone. Vincent gathered his stuff and headed back to the hotel. He thought to himself that he gotta try to get Fen to enchant some bullets for him. Vincent reached his room and laid on his bed thinking until he feel asleep

After Vincent left, she placed the tome with the other books, and grabbed her bag, trying to see if there was enough room for the books. If not, she'd be able to enchant it to be a little roomier. Seeing that there was indeed enough room, with a little to spare for extra supplies along the road, she placed the books inside after wrapping each one in preserving paper, in case something happened to the bag. Tired from the day's travel and work, she quickly retired to bed, wanting to leave early in the morning.
The next morning, Fen woke just as the sun was lightening up the sky. She wasted no time in washing and getting ready to leave, nibbling at a biscuit while making sure her things were packed. She slung her bag over one shoulder and grabbed Zongxiàn, resting it against her other shoulder before heading down to the entrance to the inn to wait for Vincent.

Vincent woke the next morning and since he had packed the nite before he got washed up holstered Lunaris. he threw his bag over his shoulder and started to walk out. He stopped at the cafe' really quick before they left and grabbed a sandwich and a coffee and grabbed a muffin for Fen. He walked out of the In and say Fen waiting. He waved " Mornin Fen hope i didnt keep you waiting i got you a muffin if you want it. He handed the muffin to her and took a bite and of sandwich and took a sip of coffee. " So you wanna start going and i gotta question."

/Ace had been traveling all night long before he managed to make it to the next little town. As Ace got there he visited the small bounty shop, just to see if there was anything vaguely interesting for him to do, just on the side or maybe after he finished the current job.
As Ace was scanning the papers he noticed someone had put a request in recently to kill souless that were about to attack the coastal city he just came from. Ace was about to give the list of requests back until he noticed the price for the job, and then he took it and handed the rest in. Ace then chanted one of the few spells he knew, which made it so he moved alot faster, only because he needed it if he was going to make it there to kill those souless and then get back to the job he had in a decent time.
Ace then started running at an abnormal speed in the direction east of the city. While Ace was running he looked at the paper and noticed that the request stated that it was about 2 dozen oxen type souless. Ace then realized this hunt would actually take longer than expected since these souless would be a bit of a pain to get rid of even with help. Ace figure it wouldn't matter he was more than enough to take them all out. When Ace got just before the herd that was rampaging forward he chanted the other half of the spell which disabled the speed spell. Ace then looked forward and noticed another man approaching the herd as well. "damn it and i was hoping to be the only and get all of the reward."
Ace ignored the man though and moved in on the herd and headed of to the side and then approached the herd from behind since it was safer than taking them all head on. Ace then brandished his Halberd and jumped into the air and swung the axe part right into the center of the souless's back and then used his momentum to swing his way onto the oxen shape and then ripped the halberd out and stabbed the spear tip inot the base of the neck and then continued pushing it down until the souless started swerving and slowwing down behind the pack, once this was appcomplished he jumped off and in front of the souless and then chanted a spell and then instanly his blade became covered in a frost and then just as the souless was about to run into Ace he slammed the halberd into the earth in front of him and then spontaneously large icicles shot from the ground throughout the souless's entire body and destroying it's core and rendering it dead while the soul within stayed. Ace then turned around to kill the next one.

"Good morning," she replied, "No, I just got down here but a minute ago." Fen looked at the muffin warily before taking a bite. She wasn't particularly hungry, but it tasted better than the biscuit she had earlier, but she ate them for their nutrition, not so much their flavor. Sweets didn't keep well, and she hadn't found a spell to keep them from loosing their flavor the same way most things did when magically preserved, so it was nice to have something sweet to eat. "You can ask, if you can do so while we walk. The next town isn't too far away if I help speed things up, but it's easier to do so once we're well away from town."

/Ace then ran up to the next souless he saw in his sight, then he took out his dual barretas and started shooting at it from behind while running towards it then Ace took his pistols and then shoved then into his sides and heard a click on both sides as the bayonette attachments fused with the pistols then Ace pulled them out again and then took one of them and stabbed the back leg of the souless and then it started slowing down as it felt the pain in it's leg since Ace had hit a vital point but it kept charging with the rest of the herd but with a bit of a limp now. Ace then paused and stood and aimed directly at where he had cut open the souless and started hammering shots one after another in the same spot.
Eventually the Oxen couldn't take it anymore and collapsed after it's leg could no longer support it but it got up and tried to continue to move an stick with the herd but ace walked up to it and cracked it's core with his pistol blades, and then shot it with both guns and then it died and it's soul was released. Ace then stood up and placed his guns back in their holsters, and turned to the next souless.
