"Well miss celestine we should be in port anytime now. Speaking of which we should be up on deck right now. well at least it's my duty to be on deck right now to make sure that everything goes smoothly."

Liaam folded up the letter and put it away in his desk, then started walking towards the cabin door.
"shall we, Mr. Ashforth?"

"Yes, and please call me Sean. I'm not as old as my father or uncles." Sean followed behind the captain as he sheathed his dagger and placed it back on his waist belt, winking at celestine to reassure her.
"I'm glad to see that my family has a good captain that has a good crew that a part of their oversea trading routes. I almost thought that I would have been caught a few times."  


as the three of them walked on deck, they where already getting ready to dock. sean could tell since everyonw was rushing around with cargo or ropes, shouting to each other. the captain walked away from sean and celestine as well, yelling out orders as they docked.

sean went below one more time to a crate that had markings that where diffrerent from the others. he took a hammer and opened it up, taking out a small bag and a strait ninja sword that he put on his back.
" This crate is basiclly all of my personal belongings, but it's going to my family's house and it was the best place to hide my weapons anyways."
he closed the crate back up and brought it up on deck just as they where starting to unload the ship.

As the lone assassin sat on top of the roof, he watched sean getting off the ship, his eye catching sight of the black onix stone that was set at the bottom of the blades hilt.
"Ah, so it was passed down to him after, just as master Zerox predicted."
The dark figure thought for a moment as he observed Sean unloading a crate from the ship and onto a wagon. most likly it was going to his family's estate just past the town.
how could Zekken even think about passing that sword on to him, let alone take him in and train him.
"Don't worry, soon you won't have to worry about that sword."
And with a slight smile he continued to wait and follow sean's movements as he walked about, waiting for the right time to strike. he smiled as he saw the sun starting to set.
Soon you won't have to worry about anything at all.

Tye felt accepted for the first time in a while. He had a group of people he could count on. As a child he needed that, especially security. He jolted towards the room and jumped on the bed as trinity was holding the blankets up, He rested his perfectly on the pillow and waited for the blanket to drop. However. He had a phobia of being alone.

"C-Could you stay in here with me. Please, I am afraid."

"You can lay down with me, It will make me more comfortable."

Tye smiled as he snuggled into the blankets. He got comfortable and closed his eyes. When he did all he thought about was the old orphanage, something that not even Ty could evaporate. He remembers his first day there. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and than it all changed. the old lady got angry that she has to watch over Ty she looked at him as a beast and constantly beat him.

He also remembered over time every night there would be a small little puppy on the side of him, he never understood how he got there but he wanted to know how it did it always kept him company in such a lonely household. He opened his eyes again to make sure Trinity was still there and was relieved that she was.

He laughed a little, "But would you be ready to fight back if need be?. If your serous the day after tomorrow would be the perfect time to leave.

Tye smiled and simply nodded his head at Trinity about going into her cat form. He thought it would he amusing to see and comfortable. He wanted to see her become a cat before he would go to sleep.

Tye was in awe at what he had saw happen in front of him. She literally changed into a cat. A CAT?! This was amazing to him. He felt her brushing up against his hand and so he started to scratch behind her ear. However his exhaustion was starting to catch up with him. Though petting her he was struggling to keep his eyes open.

Peter looked up at the ceiling and grinned "that's good to hear. So are you gonna be ready to leave by then?."

Spoiler:

Tye finally drifted off to sleep, while he was sleeping, he ended up snuggling with cat form trinity, he also unintentionally put his thumb in his mouth, he had some habits he had to kick, while he was sleeping he didn't toss and turn, but he did have nightmares. generally of the orphanage however he also thought about the day he was abandoned.

"Don't worry Tye, We'll be back" His mother said, "We promise" Was the fathers empty words. He was left in front of a pub as they went in, Little did he know they exited the back. hours passed, And he started getting anxious, He started to pace around but to no avail, he walked down the alley that was seperating a pub and a business, and there wasn't anyone, or anything there. except for the ground in front of him. he eventually started to panic. he was alone in the world with no one for guidance.

About a day passed when he started getting extremely hungry, people of the town weren't to fond of children as is. at first he didn't want to break his morals and not steal. but his own survival got in front of him. he walked into a butcher shop, but soon realized there wasn't much he could do there. he began to walk around until he noticed a family wasn't attending their dinner, instead they were upstairs doing what grown ups do. he snuck into the house and stole bread, or whatever he could get his hands on, just barely escaping the house.

It was reported and so after about 12 houses he ended up getting thrown in the orphanage.

The fresh autumn breeze blew ever so fragrantly of lavander in the air, as Dante walked through the thick and brush of a forest. the lush landscape created enemorous beauty to the eyes of him. the bunnies, foxes, and small woodland critters were roaming around ever so carelessly, and he enjoyed the sight. he came to a rather patch of various flowers and berries while roaming and only picked the edible berries. eventually after exhaustion he sat down back against an average looking tree.

As noon approached there was more activity with the animals of the forest, finally predators were coming. Bears, Wolves, and coyotes were more active. though there were only few bears to actually be in the given area it didn't stop the fact of acknowledging their existence and presences. Dante sat eating his berries, and watching the foxes play with other foxes, bunnies bounce around, and etc.

Tyrcestus smiled and looked over at Hexy, who gave him a flirty wink.
He blushed, and she chuckled evilly before patting next to her on the bed.

It was at this point Tyrcestus realised, with a jolt, that there were only two beds in the room, and Hexy had a very mischievous look in her eye.
His decision was immediate.
He nodded politely at Hexy, lay down on the floor, and immediately went to sleep.

"Hrmm! Amateur..."


Name: Cortes
Age: 21
Sex: M
Weapon: Rose Petal, his rapier
Race: Human

"Ahh... the allure of good wine...*hic*...."
Cortes stumbled out of a local brothel, before laughing a little.
"All in good fun..." Then he staggered back to where he was staying, the same lodge.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Several miles away, a decision was made.
Orders were given.
Messengers were sent...

Peter fell asleep sitting with his back to the wall.

A spell was cast, searching the kingdom for people, people of a certain caliber. People who were strong. People who held powerful gifts. People with talents. People with power.

In the room of the lodge, in Peter's house, in the forest over Dante's head, in the goblin mines to Beelzenef and in Junko's bakery, in the house of Ashforth to Zalia and to even Peter's humble house, a spectral messenger appeared, being channeled by various messengers close by who had been sent forth for this task.

The messenger hung, slightly transparent, waiting for someone to ask it the reason for it's presence.

Tyrcestus immediately woke up.
So did Hexy, though she seemed to leap from sleep shouting "I WANT THE BIGGEST SNAKE!"
Then she looked completely embarrassed and coughed.
"I... I mean, whoa, a ghost... creepy..."

The messenger spoke, and every messenger spoke, loud enough to wake those who heard from their slumbers.
"Ye who can hear this message, you are strong enough and powerful enough to come to the aid of his majesty, the king. Boons and riches, fame and fortune, and the status of legend will be conferred on all who do their part in saving their land from destruction. For those without a goal, for those without aim, for those looking for purpose... come. Come and save your world and become it's greatest hero in the process."
It turned, and raised it's arm.

In the distance, a shining pillar of light suddenly pushed up from the land.
"That pillar of light is his majesty's castle. Venture to it, if you wish to be the saviors of truth and justice. You have forty-eight hours to travel there. All hail the king!"

And with that, the spectral messengers vanished, their words having been heard by all.

Tyrcestus raised an eyebrow.
"Well... that sounds like an interesting venture..."
He looked at Trinity.
"Are you ok?"

"I wanna go on the quest!!" Hexy shouted, bouncing around the room.
"Let's go let's go let's go!"


Down below, Cortes stroked his chin.
"Ah... sounds fun. Very well.. a bon voyage to moi!" He packed up his belongings and set out towards the castle at once...

Dante, didn't say a word after hearing what the messenger said, In fact he didn't seem to even budge an inch, even when he noted its presence he felt completely and entirely above it. "I want the challenge, but not the glitz and glamour of saving the 'world.' besides why would he announce he is going to try and assault anything" He ignored his own questions it seemed. And stood up, He waved a regretful good bye whislt telling the animals "Sorry, Till next time my furry friends." and slowly made his way out of the forest.

He went north like any hunter would and seemed to run into no trouble, he eventually made it out of the forest no problem and starting hiking his journey towards the kingdom. All he had was the clothes on his back, not carrying a weapon at all. Though he enjoyed solitude Dante hoped he would run into something or someone, an animal or a human either was fine to him.

Tye was woken up by the loud hissing and growling that Trinity had started doing. And only by then did he notice the spirit suspended in the air, he wasn't afraid for an odd reason. Kids his age would have freaked out.

Once it finished saying what it had too he was curious if he was also a part of what it was saying. "How could I save the world, I'm just a child" he thought to himself. And waited to see what the Ty, Trinity, and Hexy were gonna do.

Sean watched the men unload the ships cargo off the ship and onto charts, looking back at celest.
"well my family has a trade outpost here so It's my job to make sure that everything gets there. you can stay there for a little bit if you want. I'll stay to plan where to go next on my journey."

he watched as the last of the cargo left the port. he thanked the captain and started to walk into aiamson.
"Well, we better get going before it gets too dark"

Sean stopped as he noticed a couple things happen at once, first he heard a request and looked to see a spirit messenger that spoke clearly of the kings request and of glory. he also noticed the pillar of light appear as well. right after the messenger disappeared, sean leaped from where he was standing and flipped his hood up, drawing his dagger and one of his small throwing knives. where he stood a small throwing knife could be seen, sparks arcing off of it.

someone tracked me here? but who?
he sensed that there was a storm that was about to unfold, and that his journey was going to be tough.

From above a voice came, echoing off the ally walls.
"so your just as quick as a Lightning ninja, not bad for someone that was adopted into our clan"
Lets see how he takes lightning, like a true ninja would. he's still an outsider after all and no sense in just taking him out.


"Oh, so your part of the lightning clan then? well there's no point in fighting, I'm here to pursue my personal training. I'm not an enemy of the clan and the clan respected master Zekkens decision... "
then a slight smile appeared over seans face. " Or are you a exile?"

The assassin stated to laugh" Do you really think I respect zekken? no, all you need to know is that my master wants the sword that he gave you... the sword of storms I believe he kept calling it? anyways it's of some value to him and he wanted me to get it, so be kind and just..."
He threw a lighting strike right at sean, hoping to take him out.
"GIVE IT TO ME!
really I have no time for this.

he blocked the lightning with his dagger, with most heading into the onix resting in ti's handle.

your right, and also you need to keep your sword in your procession.

"I was awake for that. And now I don't think I could fall back to sleep. So what do you think of that?" he said rising to his feet.

Wait, who are you?
you should be focused on your enemies for now, the answers will come eventully.

sean barely dodged a lightning attack that his attacker sent towards him.

The assassin kept throwing his attacks at him but kept dodging them.
come on, stop dodging them and attack me already...
he stopped his attacks for a minute and started to laugh.
"Wait, your not attacking me back. which means..... ether your a coward or you never had any powers! we always knew you where an outsider!"
looks like we did something right. might as well take him out with one big charge...

and with that he sent a huge bolt right at Sean. the kind the makes huge trees into toothpicks...

Sean, concentrate on catching that energy and making it your own. it won't hurt you.
And why should I trust you, a voice that just popped into my head?
trust in me, it will be the first in many steps in unlocking yourself and your abilities.

Tyrcestus threw Trinity her clothes, trying hard not to stare at the exposed flesh in the process.

Hexy noticed and huffed.
"So she's NOT a showoff, is she? Seems like a bit of a stripper to me..." And before anyone could comment, she packed up all her gear and the food and with Fweep the magic broomstick leading the way she swept downstairs without saying any more.

Tyrcestus blinked, shrugged, then looked at Trinity and Tye.
"Come on then. Unless you don't want to come..."

Along Dante's path came a long rickety rope bridge, long and ragged. The rope looked dangerously frayed in places, but the whole thing somehow hung together.
It covered a vast chasm with mist obscuring a view of the bottom, and there was no way to get across the chasm otherwise...
