*After Maria and her pet, Kyu, got knocked out by Hate, Sam returns them to his lab so they can sleep. Afterwards, Sam portals into Askr's summoning room, cracking his neck. His eyes fall on Kiran* Oh hey. Summoner boy. We meet again. You... do what know what happened in Embla, right? Just... making sure.

*Geist returns to the Askr castle's main door after his week long absence* ... I am back... *he looks at a piece of paper he had in his pocket*

OOC: do a few round without me, I got busy, and besides, still unconscious

* a boy with ocean blue hair was on a roof * " Hmmm? " malachite said " geist is really back"

Sam: Kiran: I know the details, I can´t believe everything started with just a box... I think I can´t trust anything here... E-ejem. Kiran: i would like to know more about the notes you got... and that Hate woman. Cat: Veronica was looking through the window, looks like what Surtr did affected her. Veronica: why? why I tought this could be good... I hate him... I hate you Surtr... Geist: Anna: you are back! you can´t believe what happened! we had to chase a strange box and we ended up in Embla, we are going to work together in order to stop Surtr.

Surtr's at it again? *he looks at the scar Surtr gave him* And what is in the box?

Well, the totally reasonable and not psychotic Surtr decided to burn them both to ashes. Luckily, I took pictures. *Sam opens two holographic screens and shows them tooKiran. On one was the note with letters and the other was the note with numbers.* Think you can figure this out? I think we might be missing something, but that's just my hypothesis.

Meow. The cat can't help but agree. Burning important information- enough to cause Hate of all people to snap- and threatening to kill everyone... That's part of the reason the cat stayed away from that fight. People like that are as mentally stable as a house of cards.

Sam: Kiran: Hmmm... try to put the number note behind the letter one, maybe we have to fill the blanks with the numbers. Maybe we discover some kind of code. Geist: Anna: that Tico was there, we don't know what is happening but something big happened to Leo, we don't know what... I have to say this is very confusing... Kushala: it is. Anna: WHAAAAA! Anna tried to slash the kushala with her Axe, the kushala dodged it. Kushala: w-what are you doing!? Anna: Don't scare me like that! Cat: Veronica: I think there is no point on thinking about that... well... I'll see how is my dragon... Veronica petted thr Cat and she left her room... ... ... ... You feel like something is hidden... do you want to search it?

*Sam nods, and places the number hologram behind the letter hologram, allowing the numbers and letter to overlap and be seen on one "page".* There you go. That make it any clearer for you?

If we can get to Leo i'll be okay. Wonder what Alfonse is thinking about this... *he goes off to find him*

Sam: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N 4 P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B 8 A B C D 1 F G H I J K L M N O P Q R 18 T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J 15 L M N O P Q 13 S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P 5 R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D 11 B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N 8 K J I H G F E D C B A A B C 10 E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S 18 U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T 21 R Q P O 19 N L K J I H G 26 E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 10 Y X W V U T S 1 Q P O M N L K J I 5 G F E D C B A A B 9 D E F G H I J 14 L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y 5 W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A Kiran look the note for a few seconds... but looks like he can't come with anything. Kiran: there is a lot of things this can be... because we don't know the meaning of the numbers... or the letters... my apologies. Cat: you decided to look after what is hidden, you noticed some kind of paper over a shelf near the wall. Trick Time! Items: Lamp under a shelf: turn on, turn off, shortcut. Shelf over the door: break the left support, break the right support. (There are more like this, close to each one, it pass over the door and ends in the wall). Mirror: break it. Doll head over the first shelf: roll. Door: open, close. Bed: break a leg. Wind book: activate. Geist: Anna: good bye! Geist, followed by the Kushala went to the courtyard, there he saw Alfonse giving all he has on the trainning field, looks like what the box said affected him. Kushala: you should stop, you look very tired. Alfonse: damnit... you are right...

*now that he's in the courtyard, he walk to him as he looks at the box* Alfonse... what is this anyways? Heard from Anna that Tico had this.

*Sam despawns his screen.* Well, I didn't expect much. As I said, I believe we're missing something. *Sam shakes his head.* Anyway, you doing much, summoner boy? You seem to be mulling around, or am I wrong?

The cat smiles. With his own body to Trick as well, it'll be easier than usual... although he can't access it if he gets too far away. He decides to examine where each object is first. If he can figure out which objects could possibly affect others, it'll be an important piece in this puzzle.

OOC: As always

OOC slowly but surrly

Geist: Alfonse: yesterday we had to chase a box... looks like that Tico woman was inside, probably she was trying to do something... but we don't know what. Sam: Kiran: I've been thinking about the summoning, I can't believe I summoned Leo without noticing it... but the point is, why is he doing this? Why is he leaving notes and hidding? Is he afraid of something? Luard: Alatreon flied to luard and he licked him a few times, a few moments later Veronica appeared Veronica: What are you doing with my dragon? He is only allowed to lick me. Alatreon happily runs around. Veronica: my "little" pet is happy, I'm glad you like... I don't remember feeding you... what does he eat? Another dragon?

*Sam shrugs* I'd like to think the bookworm does everything for a reason. Then again, my reason is for curiosity's sake half the time, so perhaps I'm not the best judge. I wonder what he's hiding from? Mayu (Comms): Hate? Hmm. Possible, but I'd like to think someone who keeps saying she's "the ultimate magical entity" would be able to see through a simple cloaking field or disguise. Mayu (Comms): Like you couldn't? I don't think I've run into him yet. The Eye of Thoth is able to see through anything. It's how I designed it, after all. I'd like to think it works as intended.

*he looks at the box and knocks on it* Hey Tico. It's me... Spectre's son.

Luard sighs and tries to shake the saliva off him, he looks over to Veronica, the Emblan ruler if he remembers. As in anyone’s house, it is always polite to answer their questions if he can, do Luard takes a deep breath I merely just arrived here, hardly even saw him before I got licked, as for his diet, I just so happen to have studied dragons, so I believe I can answer Dragons are infamous for eating livestock, primarily sheep and cattle. However, they generally prefer wild creatures such as bears. Some dragons can consume fruits and vegetables, but as a whole they are free-hunting carnivores

(Suddenly, a 7'3 snake centipede hybrid is there with everyone) ...ayyyyyyyyyy

Sam: Kiran: Hate? That strange woman who helped you against Surtr? She is the only one who can help us right now... but I think we should be carefull with her... but is true what she saved you... i think we can trust her, but I'm not sure. Kiran: I'll look around in case I see something strange, good bye Kiran left the summoning room. Luard: Veronica: oh i see, then I'll hun- But alatreon is already devouring a wyvern's corpse. Veronica: I like this pet, I don't have to worry about feeding him. Alatreon: Ria! While Alatreon was eating, you noticed something on Alatreon's chest... an emblem? Veronica: what is that? Veronica got closer and removed the dust around the emblem, it says: "Leo's Alatreon, if yoy find him just say him Hi and act friendly." The emblem has also the norhian sign, it also has a note stick on it. Veronica: Leo... he is... Alatreon: Ria! Veronica turned into a stone. Geist: Alfonse: w-what box? A-are you ok? Rep: You can't just appear, you have to choose a place.

alright, fine (He then suddenly appears right behind Sam) ...ayyyyy, mate, its me, the guy that no one likes.....

Trusting Hate, eh? Mayu (Comms): Strange times are upon us. Well, I might as well go back to Embla. I'm curious about things. Mayu (Comms): Like? Like why Veronica is missing two heroes. *Sam opens a portal and goes through it. A minute later, another portal opens in Embla's training ground and Sam steps out.*

*he takes off his helmet and rubs his face, giving Alfonse the hint of him having a hallucination* I am fine... I must've been doing to much void meditations.

Well fuck, he's gone...now I'm here...shit

Luard immediately glances about warily, there are three options. The Alatreon caused the stoning, the Emblem is cursed, and, most likely, there is a hidden attacker, to be safe, Luard draws a swift circle and sends out a pulse to detect nearby sources of magic Come out now, and we can still settle this peacefully. You can’t hide from me, so do try not to force me into drastic measures

OOC:Veronica turned into a stone because the Alatreon belongs to Leo and she won't be able to keep him as a pet.

Rep: Reperzell is alone in the summoning room, what will he do? Sam: Sam appeared in the trainning fields, there the brave heroes were resting after the trainning. BLyn: Greetings! BIke: you shouldn't be that relaxed after what happened. BRoy: we won't win anything by overthinking it. BLucina: he is right, we have to be carefull. Geist: Alfonse: you are worse than Kiran and that is very hard... I think you should be carefull to not collapse. Kushala: I'll make sure that doesn't happens. Alfonse: thank you, I'll see Anna to see what we do, bye for now. Kushala: farewell. Alfonse left the area. Kushala: what do you want to do? Luard: a masked man walked to Veronica and Luard. ???: she is just shocked because she won't be able to keep the dragon, i feel a bit bad for her. Alatreon:... ???: is not your fault, I think she should have checked that before... but who could think this dragon belongs to someone?

(He kind of just....stands there...) ....I have no idea where I am, or even how I got here....um...

I wonder what Felicia and my Aunt Corrin is doing... *he wonders off to the kitchen to find them*

....I for some reason want corn...

Meoooow... With his new note, the feline... meows for the guards to let him out of Veronica's room.

Hey, you four. Glad to see you're alright. Mind if I ask you something? Do you know where those Fallen guys and the little girl are? I'm curious about something.

Cat and Luard: the guards opened the door, the cat ran and quckly reached Veronica, she was a stone, but slowly, she turned back to normal. Veronica: I can't keep the dragon... why? I have to kill Leo... ???: Don't do it Veronica. Veronica: Okay :), by the way what is that note? Veronica took the note to read it, the note says: 1: A 2: B 3: C ... ... ... It continues to Z where it ends. Rep: Hate: you still here? What a strange guy, Zane... long time since I don't see you. Sam: BLyn: Nino is in the kitchen, but the fallen heroes are not here. BRoy: I think they are busy, knowing Veronica... BLucina: I don't trust them... BIke: they want revenge, against something. BLyn: should we tell Veronica? I'm worried now. Geist: Geist reached the kitchen, there Sharena was preparing the meal. Sharena: greetings! How are you feeling today?

(Rep continues doing nothing until hear's Hate's voice, and turns to him) Um.....who are ya again?, ya might 'member me, but I ain't got no clue who ya are...mate.

OOC: well that’s a thing IC: Luard briefly glances between the masked man and the Alatreon, walking towards Alatreon with a sigh And here I thought it was a hex. I’m sure she’ll recover from the disappointment. That said, Luard decided to read the Alatreon’s note for himself while still talking to the masked man Still, this might be a lucky break. Some dragons have a remarkable homing sense. It might be able to help guide us to Leo. That said... Luard pauses for a moment to think on the note, the others were clearly in some sort of cipher, so... Perhaps this is the key. Each number corresponds to the appropriate letter of the... Luard stops there, as that might be a rather odd cipher, seeing as it would effectively prevent either A and B, or a large portion of the alphabet from use, perhaps they have to choose which makes most sense

Mew... Veronica could be kind of scary sometimes... Anyway, she and the serious-looking human could figure this out. And the masked man's here, too. He yawns and sits down by Veronica.

Hmm. I see... *Sam think for a moment before he starts wandering off towards the castle courtyard.* I'm gonna go look for Veronica. Can you guys do me a favour and go search for the fallen guys. If they're in the castle I wanna know. I'll pay you if you want it. Keep an eye out for anyone you don't recognise or anyone as well. I like spies to be to be able to see everything.

*he looks at Sharena while looking at the cook book* I was thinking on a beef rangoon...

Rep: Hate: I appeared the day you fought Leo's brother, is so sad you've forgotten me... anyways I expected that, your brain is like a little ball, moving and moving... it is interesting, as long as it doesn't leave your head. Luard, Sam and Cat: BLyn: Got it! We'll tell you if we find them! Sam quckly reached the others. ???: I think we have to turn the numbers into letters. Veronica: what do you mean? ???: for example: 1 is A, 5 is E, 9 is I, 15 is O and 21 is U. Veronica: I think I see it... Geist: Sharena: I just know the basics... but if you want we could try! Give me the book! Sharena took the book, after 20 minutes she prepared the meal to Geist. Sharena: I followed the book, so i think you can eat it.

Thank you Sharena. Have you seen my aunt Corrin? Planning to head to Embla because of well hearing that Surtr is not there and Veronica being a statue. *he starts eating while a Hive Acolyte walks into the Kitchen hauling supplies*

Oh yeah, that guy....the....ummm...I get and know what ya trying ta say...just can't put it inta words...well, anyaysssss, why ya here?

*Sam walks up to the others.* Found you. Huh. Vernico looks pretty stoned. Mayu (Comms): Not funny It's funny.

Luard sighs and shakes his head Yes, that is what I just said. Now we just need the other notes and... Luard looks up upon Sam’s entry, he was on the Emblan side, so it only makes sense he might return. Regardless, Luard only makes a thin attempt to hide the contempt in his voice Hello again blondie. Back from your trip I take it.

OOC: I got wrong the numbers, so I had to fix the note, my apologies: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N 4* P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B 9* A B C D 1* F G H I J K L M N O P Q R 19* T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J 16* L M N O P Q 14* S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P 5* R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D 12* B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O M N 9* K J I H G F E D C B A A B C 10* E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S 18* U V W X Y Z Z Y X W V U T 22* R Q P O 20* N L K J I H G 26* E D C B A A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 11 Y X W V U T S 1* Q P O M N L K J I 5* G F E D C B A A B 10* D E F G H I J 15* L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Z Y 5* W V U T S R Q P O M N L K J I H G F E D C B A I also put a * on the numbers.

Ouch. Cold attitude. Still mad at getting shot at, Luard. And here I was going to grace you with the solution. Though, if you don't want it...

Sam, Cat and Luard: ???: D I A S P N E L I J R T V Z K E J O E Veronica: what? ???: is each number, this is the message. Veronica: I don't get it... maybe we have to put the letters in some order. ???: looks like we have to, but how? Geist: Sharena: I'm glad you like it! By the way, what happened with you? You suddenly disappeared, we were a bit worried. We still have to think what to do with Surtr... only that woman can hurt him... I don't trust her at all... Rep: Hate: I noticed your presence and I came here, I remember what you were the only one who wanted to fight me, why? I've been thinking on that.

*Sam sighs before looking at the masked man in annoyance.* You ruin my surprise, Bruno, and I'll ruin yours. A mask can't hide your identity through from my eye. Mayu (Comms): That's just being childish boss. I wanna to say it. Not that it makes much sense anyway, but still.

*Geist finishes eating while cracks are forming on his gauntlets* I've been... trying to clear up some head space.

Ah yeah, I remember, cuz ya where the crazy, evil one that for somereason, thought it was a good idea to let someone like you free....thats just being lazy if ya ask me...

Luard takes a deep breath, steadying his nerves. He’s never been fond of mechanics, this Sam seems more insufferable than most, regardless, Luard takes the chance to grin and remark Oh my apologies all-knowing one. Please enlighten us peasants as to the meaning. I can’t wait to hear it

Luard, Cat and Sam. Bruno: how do you... Veronica: note. Bruno: but... Veronica: NOTE! Alatreon: RIA! Bruno: understood... i think I'll need your help, we have to create a sentence using the letters. Geist: Sharena: uh... I see.... The kushala just appeared inside... the door is not big enought for him... how he managed to go inside? Sharena is looking at him, asking herself that. Sharena: how you did it? Kushala: what? How I did what? Rep: Hate: I didn't understand a word, you look like a stupid snake and I dislike snakes, what about if you leave this place before I have to show you some modals by force? You sense what you are in danger...

So, it's an anagram, is it? That makes sense. Mayu (Comms): I'm surprised we never thought of that We geniuses over think things. Mayu (Comms): That's just your excuse. *Completely ignoring Luard, Sam goes into deep thought.*

(He just sighs in disappointment) ...look, mate, I can give less of to shits bout you, go on and make some ppl miserable, lord knows i am, so, can ya just talk to someone else, because all hear is "ay, I don't like ya, so I'm gonna kill ya" which, don't get wrong, I'm used to it, but, eh, do ya worst, I guess

Rep's update: >Fight Hate. >tell her to apologize. >leave. OOC: to continue you have to discover the message, if you need it I'll give you some hints.

Look, mate, I don't wanna fight, so do you, so, why just not attack me, not do anything, and just forget this all happened?

*He puts the plate to the sink and his gauntlets breaks open to show his arms made of transparent void light* I am off to Embla to check up on Sam. I'll be back. *he swipes down with his transparent arm and rips open a rift to where the Brave Heroes are and walks in*

OOC: I’ll be back in about 30 minutes, sorry for the inconvenience

Rep: Hate: as you wish. Hate took her katana and slashed Rep... but... she failed. She is looking at Rep now with her angelic smile. Hate: i blamed you without a reason, don't be scared, just say what I offended you and I will apologize. the katana disappeared. Hate: I'm sorry for saying such cruel words, you can leave if you want, I'm not going to fight you. OOC: don't worry Luard, take your time. Do you need a hint?

(He was just about to slash her with his centipede like claws, but imminently, when she stops, he stops to) Wow...this a first...hehe...well, thank ya for not killing me, and second, there's nothing really here else to do. And third, mate, its alright, I'm used to ppl calling me a basckstabbing cunt, or a giant douchebag, ect.

Rep: Hate: oh, you are like that Kushala... Hate petted Rep's head. Hate: I kinda know the feel, a lot humans and monsters have attacked me, I know what kind of feel you can feel, I would like to talk to you a bit more, but I have to leave, farewell. Hate disappeared.

Luard thinks for a moment, taking a deep breath, it is easiest to do such things via process of elimination, so he turns to the weirdest letters there The most difficult letters to use we have are Z and V. Of which the most convenient words are "seize" and "prove". I believe that "seize" uses too many letters, but "prove" is likely to be in there somewhere, which would eliminate p, r, o, v, and e from our list

OOC: I'll leave a few hints, I'm also leaving so tomorrow I'll read what you did. 1: the message is about Leo. 2: about what Leo has been doing. 3: some letter are not used. 4: 4 of 5 letters Luard discarded are not in the message. Good luck.

*Sam shakes his head.* Speaking logically an seeing one of the notes was dropped by Tico, the message is about Leo. As such, the L, one of the E's, and the O belong to the name "Leo". Prove is wrong. Seize might be better.

OOC: I rewrited the hint 4, because it could confuse you, good bye.

Seize uses too many vowels, doing so would leave us with only an A and an I for a large number of consonants. Unless of course we omit many of these. In fact, there seem to be too many consonants anyways OOC: Good bye Leo, I'll see about solving it in my spare time

OOC: Unfortunately not, all I have found is Leo seized or Leo saved, and I somewhat doubt it is either of those, even if it is, I haven't found a noun for the last part

OOC: Unless anyone else has made progress, I suppose so

OOC: Here is the answer. The used word were those: I L O A N R S I E K Leo is Kiran

OOC: Wait, so can we continue now or are we waiting for an update or someone else or what?

OOC: If there is enought members yes.

OOC: It appears we have two

Ooc: Present.

Ooc: Message me if they all get here (which I doubt because it's a bit early).

OOC: got it.

OOC: just woke up, unfortunately, but I exist

OOC: One hour and we begin.

OOC: put your actions, if there is enough people I'll update.

After several more minutes that feel like days of working on it, Luard takes a deep breath, it is all about Leo, so that being the first word makes sense. That discludes prove, and most larger words leave little left for a noun. So, after a while, Luard settles on is. Finally, the noun we’re looking for. There’s no “G” so it’s no action, instead we’re likely looking for a name. Soon, Luard mutters a single word Kiran

*Geist, now being in Embla's castle wonders about looking for Sam while not trying to get caught* Man the Architect sucks at building this...

Veronica: Leo... Bruno: is... Everyone: Kiran!? Veronica: is this a joke!? Alatreon: Ria! Bruno: we have to... Veronica left, she quckly ran to the summoner room. Bruno: Veronica wait! Bruno ran after Veronica.

You’re not going anywhere without me. With that, Luard chases after Bruno, continuing the chain of chasers

*he sees Veronica running by* Hey look. Statue girl is back to normal.

Luard and Geist followed Veronica, she was shaking Kiran in the sumloning room... the guards were looking with fear in their eyes. Veronica: LEO! WHY? WHYYYYY!? Kiran: someone help me! W-what is going on!? Anna: can someone... Sharena: I think they can't... Alfonse: she is scary...

*after following Veronica, he catches his breath and tries not to vomit* Hey little princess... care to stop raging and calm down?

Meow. What a mess... The cat looks up at Veronica and meows at her.

Allow me. Luard paces towards the group, shortly after Bruno arrives. He waves his hand, as though trying to illustrate his speech As you might remember the Alatreon we found. Turns out it isn’t wild, it was owned by this very same Leo we search for. Not only that, it had a note. One that gave us a key to the earlier ones. As we all know, Leo is likely in Askr, disguised as someone. And considering Veronica’s reaction, I believe you can deduce who it suggested While that may not be enough to prove anything, it is undoubtably worth investigating. I have ways to check, but coming clean would be easiest

Kiran managed to push Veronica away. Kiran: What!? I'm Kiran as always! ???: are you sure guys Kiran is Leo? Think about it. Hate appeared, you can't tell from where... probably she was there and you didn't noticed it. Veronica: explain yourself. Hate: have you seen a summoning from Kiran? Everyone looked each other, they actually saw how Kiran summoned Blackmask. Hate: there you have your answer, you've been tricked. Veronica: but the note says... Hate: you are going to believe a note? When anyone can write it? Think for a second. Bruno: What is your point? Do you ever know where is Leo? Hate: in Nifl, the ice kingdom. Kiran: Nifl?

Mrra? So it's a fake note? But what's the point of it? To just slightly confuse us? He meows these questions to Hate.

Nifl? As in short for Niflheim... where their profession is ice magic?

As soon as Hate appears, Luard draws out his tablet from beneath his cloak, taking what little chance he has to note her form before beginning to ask questions Yes, hello, sorry for the circumstances last time, it is an honor to officially meet you. My name is Luard, a researcher of sorts and I was wondering if you would mind if I performed a few scans to learn more about you, it’s nothing too major, and won’t take long. You’re simply different from anything I’ve seen. Luard seems to have lost track of the initial conversation, instead going on a rabbit hunt regarding Hate

Hate first bowed to Luard. Hate: the pleasure is mine, after this I'll let you do a few tests if you want, I hope you understand this is not the time for that. After saying that Hate turned to Geist and Cat. Hate: Kinda to both, I'm sure the note is fake and Leo is in Nifl, searching a way to defeat Surt. Kiran:.... Hate smiled, she went next to Kiran to put a hand in his shoulder. Hate: poor Kiran... you got the bad part... I feel bad for you. Veronica: I'm not sorry. Hate: you should, to both groups, if you don't mind, I could tell you what to do now, I have a plan. Kiran: what kind of plan? Hate: A good plan, do you want to hear it?

Mrra. The cat nods. It's the best thing they got, so might as well listen...

... *he takes out a book and looks in* Well... hey Alfonse, how long is it to get to Nifl?

VOh, right, Leo character. Pardon me. Luard grumbles something under his breath as he puts away his tablet, he’s stuck helping for now, but so long as he can remain near the back no harm done Well, unfortunately I have no information on these matters, so your plan’s as good as any to me.

Hate: My plan is simple, there is a legendary weapon in Nifl called frozen longinus, that spear should be able to hurt Surt. Veronica: where can we find it? Hate: in Nifl's palace, it is in the throne room. Alfonse: If we manage to get that spear, could we be able to beat Surtr? Hate: yes, but there is a problem. Kiran: Muspell's army is there, right? Hate: Correct and now is when I must warn you. Sharena: what do you mean? Update incomming.

Hate: this is more danerous than you think, not only for you, but for Muspell's army as well, you will be able to choose if you want to kill or not. Sharena: I see... Hate: Listen, I'm not going to force you to do anything, if you have another idea say it, anyone will judge you for saying what you think. Alfonse: is true what that is our only idea... Kiran: Hate, how do you know this? Hate: I have my ways, expecially when I can travel between kigdoms, but I have to say I have my limits, my power is limitated here. Kushala: I have good ears. Hate: that is good, I'm glad you don't need a summary. Kushala: I can take then to Nifl, it will be easy for me. Hate: excellent, but we have to split up. Veronica: you want to distract Surt, right? Hate: you will handle Surt Veronica, meanwhile they will find the spear. Alfonse: we... Hate: go with Veronica. Sharena: what? Hate: I have two reasons, they are able to do their task, they managed to fight two elder dragons at once, and Veronica will need help to handle Surtr. Alfonse: I get it now, if we all leave, Askr and Embla could fall, but if we remain here, fighting we can give them time to get the weapon. Hate: Correct! Good job! Ejem... questions?

Mew. He could help Veronica, but finding the spear is important, too. His powers may come in handy for that... The black kitten pads up to the kushala.

Luard pauses for a moment, obviously the sane thing to do is explore Nifl with mist of the others, yet part of him wishes to see Surt again, perhaps get some clue as to the source of his incredible power. After weighing his options, Luard sighs Whatever you think is best. I would just as soon get it all over with

Hate: Kushala, take Cat, Luard, Geist and Kiran with you, I'm sure you can handle this task. Kushala: understood. Kiran: be carefull. Alfonse: Don't worry about us. Sharena: We'll protect this from Surtr. Anna: Well, looks like I'm the head now hehe. Veronica: Bye. Hate: I'll help them, so don't worry, with me they are safe. Kushala: understood. Everyone jumped to Kushala's back and they left Askr, the kushala flied to the direction Hate told him and they quickly started to see a snow... and more snow... Kushala: when there is snow is when I'm at full power, this will be easy... what is that? The Kushala pointed to where a few soldiers are running, one of that soldiers is Laevateinn, they are chasing a blonde girl, looks like they are about to reach her. Kushala: Should we help her?

They’re along the way, not much of a detour. Would be a shame to let her get hurt. Although Luard seems to be speaking out in favor of her, his voice remains calm and monotonous, much as if he were merely relaying the facts of the situation. Luard makes no move to actually help, at least not yet

Meow. That seems to be a "yes," since the cat soon sends a chunk of ice- Bufula- right down at Laevateinn.

*he readies his weapons (his signaure Khvostov and Dark Drinker) and approaches to Laevateinn* I spy with my Ascendant Hive eye, a Mespull royal that deserves a thrashing

*Sam watches Laevtainn's attack from nearby. Noticing the dragon, he smirks.* Took them long enough to get here. Guess we should get to work, huh? Mayu (Comms): Ready when you are Boss Maria (Comms): Let's a go! *Sam draws his bow, waiting to see what the others would do.*

Laevateinn: !!! Laevateinn jumped back to avoid the bufula, she quckly looked up. Girl: uh? A dragon? The kushala landed between the soldiers and the blonde girl. Kushala: RAAAAAAAA! Soldier: is a dragon!! Soldier 2: we have to run! Laevateinn: we are outnumbered... you win for now... Laevateinn and the soldiers left the area. Girl: t-thanks... um... Kiran: greetings, don't worry, this dragon is our friend. Kushala: I'm friendly, don't worry little human. Fjorm: my name is Fjorm, I'm the second princes of Nifl, thanks for your help. Kiran: princess? Then you could help us, we want to reach the palace because we could use a weapon to beat Surtr. Fjorm: really? I'll go with you, I can be your guide. Kushala: if you know this place we can use that. Kiran: right! I'll think about it. Fjorm: please follow me. Fjorm began to walk, the others followed her, looks like she knows this place very well, because you only can see a few trees and mountains filled with snow.

*Sam intercepts the group and begins walking with them.* What took you all so long? You're late.

*he raises his sword into the air while half of his faces radiates the face of the Hive Prince Crota* Rise my Hive legion! Push back these Mespull invaders off of Nifl grounds! *his army of Acolytes and Knights rises from the snow, and charges into Laevateinn's army*

Mrr... At... least the slightly crazy Geist's army will keep their foes away for now. The cat just rides on the Kushala's back, since he'd get stuck in the snow if he walked.

Geist's army got lost and they returned. Fjorm: please be carefull, is easy to get lost here. Kushala: we are leaving footprints, what about if we fly? Kiran: do you want to alert the entire army? Kushala: if I fly near the ground the track will be worse, I'll use my wind to delete it. Kiran: thanks. Kushala: I'll leave some tracks, they will think they are going to the right way and then we change direction. Kiran: i was thinking that! Fjorm: they won't be able to follow us! Good idea. The kushala left a few tracks, he deleted them just a little. Meanwhile. Laevateinn: they are here... I have to kill them... if I do that... ???: don't do that, you could die. Laevateinn: S-sister!? Laegjarn: I'm glad to see you again Laevateinn. Laevateinn: sister! Laegjarn: don't worry, with me we will be able to defeat them. Laevateinn: Good, by the way, the left some tracks. Laegjarn: hmmm... I don't like that. Laevateinn: what do you mean? Laegjarn: I feel like they left it to distract us, the real footprints should be around, help me to search. Laevateinn: understood.

*Sam sighs and shakes his head.* Glad to see you're all happy to see me. So, Levy is the one leading the Muspell forces. Hmm... I wonder... Mayu (Comms): Boss? Nothing. Just thinking about something. Doesn't matter. Send Ariadne to spy on the Muspell army, would you? Mayu (Comms): On it, Boss. *Above Sam, a small portal opens up and a white drone flies out before cloaking and flying off.*

{As everything was occuring, Faye was off in Nifl, her arms wrapped her body as she shivered, she looked as if she was hyperventilating as she searched around.} "Why couldn't she have warped me in a better spot? Oh, I'm just freezing in this cold, cold place! It's so lonely out here..." {As she walked, she saw some tracks headed in a particular direction. She gasped in delight, proceeding to run towards the trail they could possibly lead to.}

*After the failed reprise of his Hive army, Geist and only 5 knights and 10 acolytes wonders with Fjorm* That's one tacticle blunder I won't make...

The kushala looked back, she quickly saw Faye. Kushala: greetings little human. Meanwhile, Fjorm looks at the kitty. Fjorm: Hello kitty! Kiran: that is Veronica's cat, right? Kushala: I think he is... hmmm... Fjorm: is something wrong? Kushala: they are after us, I can feel it. Fjorm: We are about to reach a tight way between two montains, we could use it. Kushala: and block it. Kiran: and fight them. Kushala amd Fjorm: What? Kiran: Let me explain: Kiran explained his plan, blocking the way with rocks and traping Muspell's army to fight them while they are stunned. Kushala: is a good idea. Fjorm: hunt the hunter? Kiran: we need: 1 person to block the way. 1 to distraction. 1 to attack. 1 to block the exit. (You have to do this, the Kushala and Fjorm will support).

I’ll gladly provide distraction, it gives me a chance to meet with them anyways. Luard looks up to make his suggestion, best to know who one’s enemies are if possible after all.

Well, if Luard is gonna distract them, I can hit them from above with my archery. I'm assuming that'll be after we trap them, right? Mayu (Comms): You better act fast. Ariadne is showing them gaining on you guys quickly. Maria (Comms): Mari's little sis is doing well, huh? It's hard to tell that they were once too young children who died on a winters night, only for their souls to- Maria. What did I say about making backstories for my robots? Maria (Comms): Sorry.

I will attempt to block the pathway if they are following us. *he and his remaining Hive soldiers are ready to defend*

Meow. The cat's probably just going to support any attackers, or help block the way if he can. Either way, he'll let the humans do the work for the most part.

"I...have no idea what's happening at the moment...but whatever I can do, I'll just make do with assisting whoever would need it..." {Faye looked at everyone with a blank stare, glaring at Sam for a quick second before turning back to the Cat.} "Which means I'll just stay here, for now at least." {She sat down on the floor, holding her Hallow Bow on her left hand as she grabbed an arrow from her quill.}

Kushala: I'll help you Luard, if we fly they'll notice us before and you will be safe from the rocks. Kiran: I'll give you the signal. Fjorm: I can use my spear to asist in the attack. Kiran: alright, let's begin. The Muspell army followed the footprints, the reached the tight way. Laegjarn: they are close, we have to continue. The began to walk through the tight way. Laegjarn: where are they? They must be here! Laevateinn: are they hid? Laegjarn: I don't think so, we could find them and... Laevateinm: W-what? Laegjarn: Laevateinn leave. Laevateinn: W-why? W-wait... are they going to... Laegjarn: I should habe expected this... but now it' s to late, Laevateinn leave and inform father. Laevateinn: but... Laegjarn: is an order, don't worry sister, I won't die here. Laevatein: ........ understood, good luck sister. Laegjarn: good girl. Laevateinn left, a few moments later Laegjarn noticed the kushala and Luard flying, she chased them and Kiran did the signal, an avalanche made by Geist fell and it hit the army, also, the attack from Sam, Faye and Fjorm managed to take away most of Laegjarn units, the ones who tried to run failed due to Cat who was blocking the exit. Soldier: is just a caaaaAAAAAAH! Cats can be dangerous. The only remaining is Laegjarn, she is on the ground smiling. Laegjarn: I'm glad you managed to run Laevateinn... Fjorm: we did it! Kushala: What do we do with her? Fjorm: she didn't hurt the soldiers who surrended, please don't hurt her more. Kushala: she has honor. Kiran: I think she is not going to talk, but we can try to talk to her, could you try guys?

Negotiation is the best policy. If my aunt Corrin can do that sure it can work.

Mayu? Mayu (Comms): Laegjarn, Sister of Laevatainn. Commander in the Muspell army and one of the daughters of Surtr. Likes Cute things, especially Pandas. Wait, seriously? Mayu (Comms): According to the eye of Thoth That is hilarious. Maria: I think it's endearing *Sam looks down at Maria and Kyu, who are standing at Sam's side suddenly.* What are you two- Maria: Bored. Yeah, should've guessed. Anyway, Levy didn't tell me she had a sister. Yo, Leggy. No that doesn't work. I'll think of something. Anyway, where's Levy? She must've come with you. Where'd she go?

Luard sighs and shakes his head, looking towards the exit of their little trap. More notably, the bodies strewn in that direction We’ve wasted enough life here. I care not what you do, but there’s no reason to waste more

Laegjarn: Levy and... leggy? So you... N-never call me that again! You are my enemy, don't treat me like an old friend,anyways, Levy... I mean Laevateinn already left, she must be on her way to inform our father. Kiran: She left? We have less time then... Kushala: I'm curious, what are you doing here. Laegjarn: I'll never te- The kushala gave a death stare to Laegjarn. Laegjarn: you are scary. Kiran and Fjorn: Y-you are... Kushala: you are not helping! Laegjarn: we had to find the two princess and kill them... Fjorm: Y-you mean me and Gunnthra? Laejgarn: Y-yes... Laegjarn lost consciousness Kiran: we can't leave her here, she has a lot of wounds, I'm sure she is not going to fight anymore. Kushala: I'll carry her. Fjorm: thanks. Kiran: are we close to the palace? Fjorm: Yes, I'm sure my sister is still there, please follow me. Fjorm continued walking and everyone followed her.

So Lady Fjorm... Mespull is attempting assassinate you and Gunnthra. Why are they making such petty attempts?

*Maria picks up Kyu and hugs him as she starts walking behind the rest of the group. She looks fearfully at Kushala* Maria: Dragon guy is scary He really isn't. *Sam stops and looks behind him. Maria is struggling. Sam sighs an kneels down.* Get on. I'll carry you. Maria: Yay. Thanks, Sammy. *Maria jumps onto Sam's back and he stands up, giving the young girl a piggyback ride through the snow. Kyu climbs into the hood on the back of Sam's lab coat and curls up into a ball there.* Mayu (Comms): You guys look cute together. Can it, Mayu. Anyway, we better be close to this place. I doubt we'll be without company for long.

Fjorm: Actually, my sister is defending the casttle, we had a lot of bad times there due to Muspell's army, we have their comander now, so we have more chances of winning. Kiran: We'll use the frozen longinus to beat Surtr. Fjorm: I hope so... Kushala: Is something wrong? Fjorm: oh is nothing, look, the castle is there. Kushala: where? I can't... oh... Fjorm pointed to a supposed mountain, but slowly it began to turn into an ice palace, the ice is that pure what acts like mirrors reflecting the snow. Kiran: Beautifull... Kushala: I like it. Fjorm: there are a few enemy camps nearby, we have to be carefull. Kiran: we follow you Fjorm. (Preparing another update, but you can comment)

After evading the enemy camps the group reached the main doors, a big ice door, you were reflected on it. Kushala: Another Kushala!? Be carefull! Kiran: that's you... Kushala: really? Oh is right! Fjorm: you've never seen your reflection before? Kushala: in the water, but never like this, it looks so real... Fjorm: GiggleGive me a moment. Fjorm raised her leiptr and a little door opened in front of her. Fjorm: I don't want to alert the enemy by opening the doors. Fjorm went inside, a few soldiers and a strange woman with pink hair, when the soldiers saw Fjorm they lowered their weapons. Gunnthra: F-Fjorm? Fjorm: sister! Fjorm ran to hug Gunnthra, she hugged her back. Gunnthra: I'm glad you are safe, tell me who are your friends?

The cat follows her inside, although slips on the cold floor. ...mew.

Nohrian and Hive Royal Geist. At your service. *he bows before Gunnthra as well of his Hive Knights and Acolytes*

*Maria leapfrogs over Sam, making Sam lose his balance and fall to the floor. Kyu runs over Sam to get to Maria.* Maria: This place is so cool. Ha ha ha. *Maria starts spinning in circles, Kyu running around her, as Sam gets to his feet Ugh. Glad you like it. Also glad you didn't break my nose. Grrah. Hmm? *Sam notices Gunnthra.* Well. Seems she was here after all. That IS who we're looking for, right?

{Faye quietly stalked in the backlines of the group, watching Fjorm and Gunnthra's reunion silently. Hearts appeared in her eyes as she watched, reminding her of a nice moment of hers.} "Gosh, I wish that was me." {She quietly muttered under her breath, keeping balance as she was standing perfectly idle and still.} "..speaking of HIM..." {Seeing as she decided that now was a good time to pay attention to the floor, she almost tripped on her feet as she walked towards Sam, slightly stumbling.} "Hiya there, my name's Faye! I think I remember you from somewhere, did I not?" {She tilted her head to the right, waving at him with a very innocent expression. However, her eye unnoticeably twitched as if this was forced.}

Kiran: greetings Lady Gunnthra. Gunnthra: Kiran? We finally meet, I'm so glad you manage to reach me. Kiran: I'm glad we are not talking in dreams. Fjorm: you helped him sister? Gunnthra: I did, I expected him to come, but not with a dragon. Kushala: Don't worry I'm friendly. Gunnthra: I know, you are welcome here. Kiran: We have to hurry, Gunnthra we need the frozen longinus to stop Surtr. Gunnthra: What? The frozen longinus? Fjorm: that's what they say, where it is? Gunnthra: that frozen longinus... it doesn't exist... Kiran: uh? Kushala: It... doesn't!? But Hate said... Kiran:... ???: I say a lot of things, but what is true and false depends on what you want to believe. Kushala: T-that voice... Hate came from upstairs, she is followed by the three fallen heroes, Robin, Takumi and Celica, Hate is looking at them with joy, the soldiers charged at Hate but she raised her hand and something happened with the soldiers. The soldiers began to insult each other and they ended up killing themselves... Hate... made them Hate themselves. Hate: you've completed your task, I'm so proud of you.

Grrr... So it was all a trick? Just for this? And if Hate did this... Then she must have split them up so they couldn't help Veronica. But could there be a way to help here...? No, he can't think about that now. He hops onto the dragon's back, his tail lightly brushing Laegjarn's face. He prepares for an attack...

Luard, finally driven to do something, sighs and shakes his head, he glances around at the soldiers, more meaningless waste, before looking up to Hate That’s unfortunate. I take it that means the tests are off then?

*Sam glanced at Faye.* You're that archer chick who follows Alf or whatever his name is, right? Sorry, but I don't quite have the time to- Hmm? *Sam watches as Hate enters the room. He sighs and looks at Luard.* What did you guys do this time?

*He looks at the fallen heroes and the soldiers* Seems that Hate got an ace in her sleeve... *He draws out his sword* Time to put these three out of their misery.

Luard casts Sam a cold glare out the corner of his eye, before sighing and shaking his head Whatever you’re thinking, I’m no traitor. Their existence is interesting, so I asked them if I could study it. No more, no less.

{Faye stopped looking at Sam to turn around and gaze upon the carnage of the soldiers killing one another. Though one would normally question why that happened, Faye just sighed casually.} "Did...did they all just die like that? Oh, well...that's sad...I guess. I mean, I didn't know any of them, but they probably had lives of their own that they would've loved to keep living." {Her expression was mere void, and still happy. At the least, she was a bit disappointed, in a sense. Anyway, she turns to Sam only to ask him one thing.} "...who's Alf?...wait, do you mean ALM? Ooohh, of course I follow Alm! We're both part of the Deliverance, along with some other childhood friends of mine! Just that somehow I'm the only one that got here along with him." [She then shifted her focus onto Hate, walking towards her, though stopping midway, as she's still a bit scared of her.] "Was there really a reason to make them do that? I mean...all you really did was just thin the numbers in the crowd. But I guess you're the all-powerful being that does what is best or whatever." [she looked down at them, the only thing looking genuine is the empty expression as she looks down at the soldiers.]

Hate: Let me explain, I love one thing from you, the Hate! Fjorm: Hate? Hate: you hate Surtr, I can see the fury in your eyes right now Fjorm, I have to say your Hate has a good taste. Fjorm:........ Gunnthra: you told them about the longinus? Why? Hate: I have a true plan. Kushala: a true plan? Hate: I want the four kingdoms to hate each other! Kushala: what!? Hate: Just think about it. Hate: Fjorm being consumed by the fury to Surtr, Askr and Embla losing the war and Muspell hating the princess who killed their king... the king who wanted their prosperity. Kiran: wait... WHAT!? Y-you want to kill Surtr!? Hate: not really, Veronica is who wants, and she will kill him. Kushala: he- Hate: Muspell, is about to remove the flare from him. Kiran: you... you are working with muspell? Hate: correct, listen, this is what will happen: Hate: Veronica will kill Surtr and Laevateinn will take his place, the entire kingdom of Muspell will hate Veronica, and when Laevateinn finds her she will kill her, then that Hate to Veronica will be eternal! Kushala:..... Hate: After that Askr will follow. Kiran: no... Hate: they will die... and they will think you abandoned them, they will hate you, but, the survivor of Askr will hate their prince, because he failed them. Fjorm:.... Hate: that will be an eternal hate. Hate smiled to the group with her angelic smile... but when you saw it... it scared you... but it was the same smile from other times. Hate: it will be a manifestation of Hate, of pure hate! Hate... I will devour. Hate: and don't even try to leave, i disabled all comunications and travelling magics.

*he sets up a riposte against the fallen three and Hate* You just love indulging hate... don't you?

"Oh, so THAT'S it? You're just another one of those? No, no, that's all fine and dandy. It's not like we've dealt with those before!" {As Hate smiled at them, Faye smiled back, as if to mock her and mimic her, disreguarding her villanous motives and intimidation entirely.} "To be perfectly honest, I don't even feel scared anymore...there's nothing to be afraid of. Since you're the all-powerful being that we should follow, I'm acknowledging that grin painted on you, and I feel fine." {Her heart was pounding rapidly as she sluggishly stepped away from her with little noise, putting her hand on the sheath of her shadow sword as she got near the Cat, still gazing at Hate.}

Is that the plan? Spread Hate? Kill everyone? Apocolypse how? Ugh. Kinda disappointment. *Sam smirks.* I expected a little more than that from the "ultimate magical being WoOoOo". Maria: Lame Demon Lady Lame Demon Lady. *Both Sam and Maria fold their arms, close their eyes and shake their head in disappointment.*

Luard identifies the chill down his spine as fear... Yet to him, that's all it was. It had no apparent associations, just, factual fear. Luard sighs, briefly stepping ahead of the others I neither know nor care what my companions here think. But know this, I bear no ill will against you. Any of you really. Luard glances over the fallen heroes, they each have a notable aura around them, a feeling of something being wrong. Yet, it is difficult to tell if he refers to the people themselves, or the beings behind it. I have no love of humans, I doubt I've ever hidden it. They're overly-numerous, noisy, and hideously wasteful. In some senses the world would be better off without them. Luard walks closer to Hate, halfway across the room, before he stops again However, they are still alive, still useful. Like all beings, they have the ability to change, and as such, deserve that chance. You seek to sacrifice thousands of lives, thousands of real beings just as alive as you, to sate your own desires. Know that I do not blame you. It isn't your fault. But unfortunately I cannot just stand by and let this happen. I do hope we'll still be on speaking terms afterwards. Or maybe I'll have to add you to my collection.

OOC: present

OOC: Here for the beginning today

OOC: I'm sorry for Faye, but we have to continue, anyways this part is a bit strange, if you have questons ask me. Hate slowly began to approach Luard while her face turned to a toughtfull one, when Luard ended, she put a hand on his shoulder. Hate: I don't care about your life or what you think, I agree what humans have potential, but is usseles if you are brainless. Hate used an energy wave to push Luard away, he sliced across the ice, he stopped thanks to the Kushala. Hate: now this is what we are going to do: Hate: in first place, while Veronica and Askr fights Surtr, you will remain here, oh don't worry, you are not going to die, that could affect the hate of Leo. Kiran: The hate of Leo? Hate: yes, the hate of Leo, just think about it, the hate he felt seeing his dear sister humillated by that idiot guy, I saw pure hate there. Kushala: hmmm i remember something... Hate: just think the Hate he would feel if he sees you, killing each other. Kiran: wh- Hate raised her hand, when she did that all the characters began to fight each other, except for Kiran, Fjorm and Gunnthra. Hate: Hate manifestation: (the target will hate a random player, he is forced to attack him).

*Sam pulls his bow out of his arm and opens it up.* This was to be expected, honestly. Imbeciles running free made a mess of the situation. We've always gotta police things. Frankly, it's frustrating. Maria: Lame Demon Lady ruined my fun. I blame the people who let Lame Demon Lady free. It's logic. *Sam shoots an arrow at Luard. Maria points at Geist and Kyu launches Foxfire at him* Mayu (Comms): Guys? What are you doing?

I can't move my body! Crota do something! *Crota fires a bolt of void energy at Maria* Hate please stop this! Can we negotiate on this?!

Luard takes a deep breath. Interesting, he hadn’t felt this... Fire, this burning desire to do something before. Luard gives Sam a wicked grin as he draws a much smaller circle I know we’re being used, but I’m still going to enjoy this, mechanist. Flame surge. Luard thrusts his palm into the circle, sending a medium stream of fire in Sam’s direction

Mra- Without even realizing it, the feline sends a shadowy blob at Luard. Eiga, the name that comes to mind. He tries to let go of his body, but whatever's happening is keeping him in the small kitten. This won't go well at all. Unless... He gets a bit more aggressive and begins running at Geist.

the group stopped fighting five minutes later but they all fell to the ground. Fjorm: P-please stop it! Hate: Why should I? Kiran: you said... Hate: I said this: Flashback. Hate: Listen, I'm not going to force you to do anything, if you have another idea say it, anyone will judge you for saying what you think. End of flashback. Kushala: ugh... w-what...? Sam, Cat, Kushala, Faye, Geist and luard fell to the ground, they back to themselves. Kiran: you forc- Hate: I NEVER! Forced you to do this, I proposed this plan and you agreed with it, this is part of the plan. Kiran: you never gave us any chance for... Flashback. Hate: Correct! Good job! Ejem... questions? End of flashback. Hate: I gave you the chance to ask me anyhing, but you didn't, this happens when you act without thinking. Kiran: you carefully took the words, you gave us what we wanted to hear, you even asked if we wanted to ask something... Hate: ask me the next time, you know what I always answer. Kushala: you said you had a good plan! This is not good! Hate: I said I had a good plan, but I didn't say I was going to tell you everything about that plan, what I'm telling you is the true plan, all the details from it. Kushala: you are a monster... Hate: look who is talking you and your friends are not perfect, and I'm not done yet. Fjorm: w-what...? Hate: right now, Veronica should be fighting Surt, probably he charged at her thinking he is still inmortal. Fjorm: Surtr is going to die now!? Hate: a give him... 30 seconds. Kiran: damnit... As Hate said, Surtr is actually attacking Askr with his army, some units are fighting to take go inside the castle, Veronica, Alfonse, Sharena and Anna are fighting Surtr, actually, everyone, Surtr included, has wounds in their bodies, they actually had a hard battle against him. Surtr: hmpf. Alfonse: he is bleeding. Sharena: they did it! Anna: we have to kill him. Veronica: He is strong. more soldiers appeared to fight with Surtr, but the winter heroes and Nino also appeared to help. Nino: Are you alright? Veronica: be carefull! Nino: uh!? Surtr attacked Nino with his axe, Alfonse blocked it but Surtr kicked him away, Sharena charged at Surtr, she quickly got blocked by one of the soldiers, while Anna and the winter heroes were surrounded Veronica stepped between Nino and Surtr, she attacked with Elivagar, Surtr managed to resist it and hit Veronica. Veronica: y-you... Nino: Veronica! This is your current state... you are weak, you can't escape and Hate is going to use you to provoke Leo's hate, meanwhile in Askr, everyone without knowing it they are about to complete Hate's plan... Hate: is time to continue, could you? FRobin: understood Hate. Kiran: I'm n- Hate: shut up Leo. Kushala: uh? Hate: do you really thought I wouldn't see it? Kiran:....... Kushala: b-but the note... Hate: i never said the note was a false one, and I said probably, probably yes and probably not, but yes, the note was true, Kiran is Leo. Gunnthra:.....

*he looks at Kiran now that Hate told of the truth* We need to talk after this... *he loads a mag into his rifle and points at Hate* As a royal of the Hive and Nohr, cease and desist!

Of course, Kiran is Leo. You think a simple cloaking field can fool my eye? I can play along as much as the next guy, though it is hard to play dumb when you're as smart as I am. *Marietta uncloaks, heals the party and recloaks as Sam gets up. Maria leaps to her feet after being healed.* Speaking of dumb, why do you people always reveal your evil plans? It's textbook gloating. I mean, come now. Though, your ploy of making us beat on each other distracted my assistant, it seems. You were supposed to stop Veronica, Mayu Mayu (Comms): You never told me that Do I have to tell you common sense now? *Sam sighs and shakes his head.*

Hate: what are you waiting for Leo? Kiran:...... Meanwhile in Embla. Veronica: Surtr... I´m going to kill you... Surtr: Muspell flare protects me! I´M INMORTAL! HAHAHAHAHA! Muspell prepaed his axe to slash Veronica, Veronica attacked with her Elivagar again, but Surtr who is heavily bleeding managed to hit her and throw her to the ground. Nino: Veronica no! Veronica: argh... Alfonse: damnit... Veronica!!! Surtr: DIEEEEE HAHAHAHAHAHA! Surtr prepared his axe and he tryed to finish Veronica... but he could´t due to... roots? Veronica: uh? The roots growed up and they pushed Surtr away, more roots appeared they began to attack the enemy, the source of the roots is... from... Nino? Anna: that magic... More roots appeared creating a wall between the enemies and Alfonse and the others, Nino quckly ran to Veronica. Veronica: w-what is happening? Returning to Nifl. Kiran: you are wrong! Hate: you thi- Kiran: and I will show you! Kiran took his breidablik and prepared to shoot. Hate: you know that is not going to... Kiran shoot his Breidablik, everything got covered by fog and slowly a few silouettes appeared, it was Corrin, Lilith, Tico, Blackmask, Veronica, and Nino. Nino?: greetings, allow me. Nino got covered by a light and she turned to Leo, he is holdieng some kind of gem. Leo: Sorry for the wait. Hate was completelly amazed. Hate: what!? how did you... FTakumi: CORRIN! FRobi: we have to kill them! FCelica: time to destroy! Hate: are you kid- A shadow appeared and it attacked Hate, the shadow slowly turned into an humanoid... it was Lavos. Hate: even you!? You have a lot of questions, but is better if you focus on the battle for now and ask Leo later. Female Corrin VS FTakumi. FCelica VS Blackmask. FRobin VS Lilith. Helloooooo nice to see you again! I´ll focus on support so let´s kick their ass, we´ll explain everything later. Like the fight in the ruins, you have to choose an enemy. OOC: if you are confused say it to me, I can understand because a lot of things are happening now.

Aunt Corrin! Care to both explain and let me help you to help beat your Hoshidan brother's brain back into place? *he takes aim at Takumi* Sorry there prikly prince, but I gotta beat back sense into you! *he fire a bolt of Void energy from his rifle*

Gah?! Mayu (Comms): You freaking liar S-shut up. *Sam fires an arrow at Celica.* Need back up, Addalme? Mayu (Comms): BlackMask I refuse. *Maria giggles behind Sam.* And another thing... *A portal opens with Maria and Kyu, causing the two to fall through. Mayu flies out of the portal, feet first and lands on her ass. Mayu in. Maria and Kyu out.* Mayu: Gah! Give me some warning next time, would you Boss? Maria (Comms): Yeah! That was rude! Come on, my lovely assistant. Let's deal with this shit here and now.

{Faye, who was just going along with everything, sighed as she watched everyone around her. She quietly got out her Hallow Bow, and pulled out an Ancient Arrow out of her quill, and began to aim.} [Faye pointed her arrow at Hate, smirking.] "How conveniant must this be?" {She was about to fire, but in the corner of her eye, she saw Sam and Black Mask fighting against Celica.} "Wait, is that, Celica? And him AGAIN?" {She whistled looudly, looking behind her as Etel sprinted towards Faye. She mounted him efficiently as she took out her Shadow Sword.} "Don't worry Celica! This hurts me more than you! I promise!" {Faye then rudely shoved Sam aside with Etel, lining up her sword nicely to try and get a good jab in at Celica. After that, she pulled her own sword away from Celica in order to get an attempt at a cheap swing at her before falling back.}

Battle against Fallen Takumi begins: Cat: hits. Geist: Hits. Female Corrin: Takumi what happened to you... FTakumi: shut up! I have to kill you! I HAVE TO KILL YOU! Female Corrin: is that is what you want, I´ll save you brother! Female Corrin: Attacks with Dragon fang, hits. FTakumi: Send a wave of energy from his bow Skadi, hits all and turns buffs into debuffs. Geist: 953. Female Corrin: 1132. FTakumi: 825. Battle against Celica begins: Kiran: i have something for you! Kiran summoned Alm and Sophia. Alm: Celica! Thanks Kiran! Alm joined the team for this battle. FCelica: I´ll kill you! that´s what Duma wants! Blackmask: you are crazy. Blackmask: vorpal blade, hits. Faye: hits, Celica´s speed down. Alm: Faye, this is the chance to save Celica! Alm: attacks with his falchion, hits. FCelica: attacks with a dark version of ragnarok, fails. Faye: 1660. Alm: 1600. Blackmask: 2000. Sam: 1670. Sophia: 1550. FCelica: 1241.

"Why have I...been summoned...in the middle of this? Oh...there's a battle going on?...that must be it...I give thanks...to whatever sent me here..." {Sophia then takes this time to take out her tome. But instead of joining everyone ganging up on Celica, she takes this time to go away from them to find Fallen Robin.} "You, interest me...so much so...that I have to turn away...from those in need...what...are you?" {Her gaze was blank, void. Her voice was quiet, and her speech pattern was very slow. She stared at Fallen Robin, examining him, and doing nothing.} Ooc: Thanks Leo...also, know that I'm doing nothing but going to a different battle.

Luard sighs and shakes his head, such a mess, and of course he’s stuck in it now. Best to conserve as much as he can. Luard glances at FRobin, before stepping closer to him You know, Dragons have always had a special place in my heart. Unfortunately you’re in my way as well, so I’ll have to cut our meeting short. That said, Luard pills Alondite out from under his cloak to swing it vertically overhead, striking the ground to send a shockwave at Robin

{Faye went away from the battle, still mounted on Etel, but as soon as she saw Alm, her inner anxiety turned to reassured and very passionate.} "Alm? You're finally here? Finally! I'm so sorry for leaving you earlier, but allow me to make up for that!" {She then got out her Hallow Bow again, aiming her arrow at Celica. The arrow was fired at her leg, in an attempt to encase it in Ice as a means of trying to make her an easy target.}

Well, that was rude. No time for grudges though. *Mayu starts walking forward towards Fallen Celica. A figure in a purple cape and crimson armour appears behind her* Mayu: All those who fight under my banner... Ceaser: ...Are under the protection of the Emperor of Emperors! *Ceaser raises his sword into the air. Charge.* Hmm. I wonder what we can make go wrong today? *Sam activates the Keraunos System. Keraunos System: Field. All allies attack and Evasion up. All enemies attack and evasion down. All allies attacks pierce defences for 3 turns.*

Hey Takumi! Listen to yourself and look at what you have become! *he begins to charge his Nova Bomb*

OOC: 3 battles at once, i can handle this but give me time, anyways this is better, we go a bit faster.

Geist: charges Cat: hits. FCorrin: attacks with mortal blow. FTakumi: Attacks with a wave of arrows. Geist: 312 FCorrin: 561 FTakumi: 261. Sophia:joined Luard's battle Luard: hits FRobin: stupid humans, I'll show you the power of an ancient dragon! FRobin: expiration: hits all. Sophia:741 Luard: 891 FRobin: 1025 Sam: attack and speed up, down to the enemy. Caeser: charges. Faye: hits, agility down. Alm: attacks with his falchion, hits. Blackmask: negative pile, hits. FCelica: unleash a dark slash from her zofia's sword, hits all, all stats down. Sam:761 Faye:691 Alm:521 Blackmask:1321 FCelica: 91. Alm: Faye! Let's do this! "Alm raised his Falchion". OOC: If it has a big mistake say it, I'll fix it.

"..." {Sophia was just standing there as she took the hit, her blank expression still looking at Fallen Robin. She sighed as a staff had appeared around her, floating in a straight circle around her.} {She giggled and smirked at Robin, the staff being raised up high, showering every ally with a healing wave. (50% health healed to every teammate, and curing every non-special status conditions to those closest to her).} "Is that...the best you can do?...I'm starting to pity you...and the one you took control over...how lovely..." {Sophia opened her tome, and put her hand over it, a byzantine magic circle appearing all around her, she seemed to be charging her spell. If Expiration hit her again, it would be met with a charming little surprise.}

This oughta jar your angry head back into place! *he unleashes the Nova Bomb with pin point precision on FTakumi*

Caeser: Crocea... Change targets. I have this one. Mayu: On It, Boss. Caeser: If you insist *Sam fires an arrow at Celica. Meanwhile, Ceaser turns his gaze to Grima.* Caeser: Dragon. you fall to me. CROCEA! MORS! *Ceaser rushes at Fallen Robin with a powerful 5 hit combo.*

"Of course I will, I'll do this for you Alm!" {After taking a dark slash from Celica's Beloved Zofia, she decided that she was going to reciprocate to Celica. She dismounted Etel, putting her sword to the side as it enhances it's own power.} "I hope we'll be alright!" {She then started to charge towards Celica, leaping in order to try and lunge towards her for the perfect hit. If it does hit, Celica will be crippled a bit to set up Alm so he can finish. If it misses, Faye will suffer recoil damage to her Shadow Sword.}

Luard raises his cloak to shield some of the impact. Black flame. Interesting, probably an abyss dragon, above average too I’m going to have to ask you to refrain from killing either the possessed or the possesser. Abyss Dragons are rare enough without one less in the world. For his part, Luard begins drawing a much larger magic circle, a pair of them with various tunes, most notably a set of chains and what seems to be a zig zag(charge I guess)

Geist: hits FCorrin: Please stop! FTakumi:N-no... I've failed... s-sorry... "Takumi fell to the ground". FCorrin: I'll remain with him, please help the others. Sophia: allies healed, and charged, the taunt failed. Caeser: hits 5 times. Luard: charges FRobin: not bad humans... not bad! I'm going to enjoy this!!! roaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! "FRobin turned to a small Grima (Aproximatelly the size of the kushala). Grima: Attacks with his claws (colossal phys and debilitate effect). Sophia:819. Caeser: 1500. Luard: 884. Grima: 9999. Sam: hits. Faye: Hits. Blackmask: do it! Alm: I'll save you Celica! "Alm charged to Celica, he stabbed her with his falchion and she got surrounded by light, after that the falchion was on the ground and Celica turned to normal, she was very tired. Celica: F-Faye? A-Alm...? Blackmask: good job, I'll take care of her, go and help the others.

*Geist nods to Corrin and groups up with Luard* What did I miss? *he fires 5 rounds at FRobin (Being Mid Gun and Fire damage)*

Huh, don’t remember Abyss Dragons being described like that. Oh well. Luard finishes his drawing before slamming his palm in the center of the circle Thunder bind!!! With that, four chains of lightning shoot out from each corner of the circle., before attempting to wrap around Grima to restrict his motion Severe Elec + Debilitate Just calm down and we can all survive this. No need to throw a fit

Easy. How's it going Mayu Mayu: I... got.... this. Then I'll let you. Enjoy Mayu: WHA- Ceaser: We don't need him. Shine, might of Rome. *Caeser raises his sword. It gleams, sending a light beam at Grima. Dazzle Ray. Severe light damage.*

"..." {Sophia just stares at Ceasar, her eyes giving off a glimmer of agitation. As she sees everyone else, despite her spell being ready, she waits. She sighs, trying to calm down her exasperation, as her staff goes off and heals her and the party up by 50% once again.} "...this is why...I'm starting to doubt...humanity..." "No matter, your efforts were futile." {Her spell had finally charged up, as she raised her arm, her hand open and aimed at Grima. It gave off a very horrendous amount of dark energy. She then pulled her hand back, the magic circle around her rotating counter clockwise slowly as she cast Apocalypse on Grima.} {A dark portal appeared right behind Grima as it imbibed him abruptly. The portal closed for a quick second, the sounds of blades cutting were faintly heard, before it sent Grima back out, now making him weak to any Curse damage that is done unto him (Colossal Curse Damage, makes foe weak to Curse for 3 turns).}

{Faye looks at Celica for a brief moment, her expression being that of pity. Now, her motives were being questioned. She doesn't know what to do as she stares back at Alm.} "I...yes. I'll do it. Alm...take this." {Faye hands Alm an Elixir before she mounts onto Etel, sprinting away from Alm and past everyone else in the battlefield.} {She then hops off of Etel, ready to get her bow out to make another shot, but instead, puts her bow down, and looks at the Cat.} "...do you need my help?"

Mrrra... The arrow's annoyingly stubborn to pull out, so that's a yes.

Geist: hits 5 times. Cat: arrow removed (attack up). Sophia: party healed and hits, but the weakness is not applied. Luard: hits, all stats down. Sam: talking with Mayu. Caeser: hits. Faye: helped the cat (attack up). Grima: Is that all!? Follish mortals! Grima: Abyss breath: lows healt to 1. Tico: Nope.avi Grima: What is the meaning of that? Tico: mediarama. Sophia:851 Caeser: 754 Luard: 827 Sam: 808 Faye: 867 Geist: 869 FRobin: 7491. Tico: guys just a bit more, we are preparing something!

Still go this Mayu: Grr... I'm taking that as a yes. *Sam summons Marietta. Marietta uncloaks, cast Mediarama and recloaks.* Mayu: Mean Ceaser: You cannot stop me. You may call yourself a god despite being just a beast of Tartaros, but I AM a God, descended from the goddess of love, Venus, herself. With me here, my allies have nothing to fear. *Ceaser's words inspire his allies. All allies attack up + Charge. First to act. (OOC: Assuming the attack order thing still a thing we can do)*

OOC: I'm not using that here because the battles had one or two fighters ( not controlled by me), but now what everyone is here, but now what you said it I think we can use that now, let me explain. You can select when you want to act, for example I want to use matarukaja, I'll act first to give the buff before the attacks are done, just say i want to act first or something like that, if you want second, or be he last one just say it.

{Faye watches as the Cat charges at Grima. She smiles as her eyes trail him, then looking towards Etel.} "...if I die, get Alm and Celica, and run away if you can." {She gives him an apple as she looks back at Grima.} "Now then, time to contribute more to the team..." {Faye readies her Hallow Bow and Ancient Arrow and aims it towards Grima, the arrow lights up with holy energy.} "I've had it!" {Faye shoots five arrows aimed at Grima, as they do some mediocre damage. But then they do Heavy damage right afterwards.}

*he throws his weapons away and readies his fists* Well time to throw down the old bone knuckles... *he goes in and throws a mean overhand and slugger punch on FRobin's face*

{Sophia stares at Caesar once again, having little to no reaction to his motivation. Though, she does look back at Grima, a bit fascinated by the side effect of Apocalypse failing to affect him.} "How charming...you hold tremendous power...I'm a bit jealous...if only I could...if only...but this'll do..." {Her staff proceeds to be raised up into the air, healing the party as always. After that, she closes her eyes, floating closer to Grima.} "Do you mind...if I do this?" {A dark spotlight shined on Grima as a ritual circle appears below him rotating clockwise. The ritual circle abruptly closes as the spotlight leaves, draining energy from him (Heavy Curse Damage, drains HP and SP).}

Sam: party healed. Caeser: attack up. Geist: immune. Cat: hits a weakness. Grima: what!? How can you able to use energy from a dragon!? Grima's defense lowered. Sophia: heal drained. Tico: charges Faye. Luard: guards. Faye: 3 times medium damage, 5 times heavy light damage. Grima: flyes to the group hitting them, after that he attacks with expiration (colossal phys and dark damage). Sophia:216 Caeser: 19 Luard: 251 Sam: 310 Faye: 253 Geist: 189. FRobin: 4681. Tico: there... and there Veronica, apply the ice magic there. Veronica: Like this? Tico: perfect. Lilith: you will have an hour, can you do it in that time? Kushala: yes... Tico: everyone step back! "Tico, Veronica and Lilith moved away, behind, the kushala was surrounded with a strange aura, he opened his eyes and his skin turned to pure white with some kind of ice armor he is also surrounded by a dragonic aura" Kushala: an Elder dragon, against an abyss dragon! Grima: I'm a god! And you are a natural disaster! Kushala: I'll be the disaster what kills YOU! "The kushala charged to Grima, the began to fight, flying around the room and they ended up breaking a wall." Tico: I hope he is alright. Lilith: he will, that Grima has no chances of beating him. Battle end. Veronica: now... she... Leo and Lavos VS Hate (VERY DANGEROUS, WARNING VERY DANGEROUS).

*Mayu grabs her right arm, breathing heavily. She then spins around and glares at Sam, who appears no worse for wear.* Mayu: THE HELL, BOSS?!? You had it. Mayu: I. Could. Have. DIED!!! Oh, don't be so melodramatic. Now then... *Sam looks over to Leo, Lavos and Hate.* This should be an interesting bout, don't you think?

Don't worry Sam, I got you. *he drops down a Healing rift to restore everyone's health (Mediarahan effect)*

OOC: Tomorrow I'll post what happened with Leo and what he did, for now I'll leave a little summary of the first two threads. Summary of summoned: The Male Corrin (Leo's brother) appeared on windmire's square, he hanged himself and comited suicide, Leo got summoned that moment. Tico talked to the group a moment later, after stealing Kiran's food using a portal, a few minutes later the group went to Askr. In Askr they didn't find a clue of Leo, Geist met Elise and Sam saw how Tico attacked Kiran. Sam spectated a summoning and Kiran summoned the Kushala, obviously she was mad and she attacked them, after beating her she joined the group. At the end Surtr attacked Askr, Sam decided to team with Surtr and Geist remained with Kiran, the Cat went to Embla by his own, he managed to enter the castle and meet Veronica. Luard just appeared in Askr. (Cat and Luard joined after this event). Sam and Cat in Embla and Geist and Luard in Askr. Summary of summoned: Two destinies The important fact is what both groups went to explore an ancient ruins, there they found monsters from different worlds, after some fight both groups reached a volcanic area. Tico warned them about dragons were going, but it was to late. Veronica fought and adopted the Alatreon, while Kiran fought (Kiran remained hidden) an Akantor. During the fight the Kushala took a red orb from Alantor's back, both groups agreed on using the orb, Kiran prepared and he summoned, using the orb. Blackmask appeared from that orb, he read the mind of the others and did some manipulations as well (he always does that), he said what Tico (Leo's assistant) could know something about Leo.

OOC: this is very long do take your time to read this, feel free to ask me anything. This happened in Askr, after the mission, i put it now to save some time and let you know what Leo did. Leo's plan: Everything started when Kiran summoned me, when Kiran told me about Veronica and Embla I realized what was happening. Tico: I also told Leo what Veronica was doing an alliance with Surtr, that helped Leo to see Hate's plan. Hate's plan had two parts: 1: Kiran and Veronica kill Surtr, and Muspell's kingdom would hate them for what they did. 2: Make you hate yourselves for not be able to stop it, and make me hate myself for fail you. To avoid that I came with this plan: First of all, is true what Hate knows when a portal is opent, and where it takes, but she can't notice when someone is summoned, this is the most important fact you have to know. I quckly returned to Nohr, there I saw the body of my brother, you came and Kiran summoned me again, that's when Kiran summoned me the second time. Just a moment later Tico quickly talked to you, right? She told you what she is able to block summonings, why do you think she didn't blocked it? Just think about it. Tico: I had to guide you to Askr, I also make them a few signals to get ready. Tico knew what was happening all this time, when she took Kiran's food she was telling us what she was about to come here, Kiran and I had trouble to find an heroe I could hide and I remembered something. Tico: I can turn into a monster using the magic in the nature, so I did that with Leo, I have to say he knows Elise very well. When you came to Askr Tico quckly went inside to change my appearance, at the end the disguise was completelly perfect, thanks to Tico and Lavos, but later I'll explain it, let me continue. As Elise I told Kiran what you could need an ally, someone who helped us before, I'm meaning you Kushala. Kushala: me!? T-that's why you summoned me? Kiran: My apologies, but I had to act like I summoned you by accident... I actually did, because I mixed the orbs and I never knew when I could summon you, is a fact we will explain later. Kushala: are that orbs necesary? Kiran: I can just shoot to see what I summon, but I have to focus and waste a lot of energy, the orbs helps me to summon a specific hero. As I was saying, with the Kushala I was more relaxed, because you won't need me and I could go to the next step of our plan. Kushala: wait a moment, and that Zelgius? Tico: me? Zelgius (Tico): are you meaning me walking hurricane? I can create replicas of the legendary weapons, I'm glad Luy gave a good use to that Alondite. Kushala: I see.

When Sam and Geist fought Surt, Sam went with Surt and Geist remained with Kiran. Now is time to help them, how? Tico, explain them: Tico: we used the ruins! That was the perfect place to hide that orb the kushala found. Kushala: you put that orb? Tico: yes, Kiran needed it to summon Leo. Everyone: WHAT!? Tico: the ruins had a big interference due to the multiverse thing, we sent blackmask there, he managed to hide until we reached that place, Kiran summoned Leo and Blackmask acted like he got summoned. Tico: I wanted to warn you about the ruins... but Hate happeared, she told me it could be interesting if I had left you alone, I attacked her but she beated me and went inside the ruins, when she reached you, it was to late, because you were leaving, continue Kiran. Kiran: thanks, when I saw that Akantor I knew everything was going as we planned, the orb was on him and I knew you would end picking it up, the point was to perform a summoming in front of all of you, the point was to make Hate think what I never summoned anyone, she tought that because she knew Blackmask was there before entering the room, so there was only a chance for her: Leo is Kiran Kiran: we used the notes to tell what Hate was thinking, that was the meaning of the note. Yes, it wasn't my disguise, it was what Hate was thinking. Anna: w-what you did after that? Kiran: let me continue. Kiran: during your talk with Blackmask, he manipulated your mind to hide Leo, that's when he went to Embla, he was hidding as that strange Masked man. Veronica: as Bruno? Wait... now what I recall he acted a bit strange when I saw him. Tico: ummm no. Veronica: No? Tico: he acted a "bit strange" because you were singing: I want to kill Kiran with my "little" dragon pet. Veronica: he is cute. Tico: he is not. Alatreon: RIAAAA! Tico: He is! He is! Kiran: as I was saying. Kiran: Breidablik is a legendary weapon, only I'm able to use it, when I summoned Leo Hate was not able to see it due to Leo's disguise. Then, Hate thought: "Do you want to make me think that masked idiot got summoned? But I know you are there Leo, or should I call you Kiran?" I had my reasons to visit Embla: Sam, Cat and Corrin. As Bruno I did two things: 1: Leave the two notes to Corrin, who was hidding as Jakob. 2: Talk a bit with you Cat. After that done we moved to the next step, continue the lie.

Blackmask, your turn. Blackmask: I hide in that ruins, without mistakes like I would do, that would make Hate think what we could try to fake the summoning, but we didn't. Kiran summoned Leo and Hate thought Leo was Kiran. Tico: I really thought we ****ed it... so I tried to hide in Askr using a box. Blackmask: seriously? A BOX!? Tico: anyone suspect boxes! Kushala: now I do. Tico: Anyways, after our super duper race I really lost all hopes so I decided to take Corrin away, but I ended creating a pile of heroes, that's something! Actually. Tico: That pile was part of the plan, Hate can see when someone is acting, but If you do it naturally, she can't tell the diference! So when she saw you running and chasing us, she thought we failed! It also gave time to Leo to hide as KIRAAAAAAAAN HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Blackmask: that was not necesary. Tico: it really was <3. But first, we had to do something, before all that madness, Kiran had to be summoned by Veronica, sister, could you explain that? FCorrin: Of course! As Jakob and thanks to what Tico taught me I managed to manipulate Veronica's summoning while she was summoning the fallen heroes, so she summoned a Nino who was actually Kiran. Veronica: >:( FCorrin: Hate thought we really were desesperated to hide Leo, she didn't need more to confirm Leo was Kiran. And I naturally acted like Kiran, It was very hard because a single mistake could have destroyed the plan, especially, when we go to the riskiest part of the plan, I had to summom Kiran and Kiran had to summon me. Kiran: Tico left a copy of the Breidablik in my room, it was just prepared to summon me. I went to the summoning room... Kiran: I went to a place without anyone nearby and I left the disguise of Nino I used... And we summoned each other. Kiran: it happened in an instant, even Hate didn't noticed it, she thought Leo failed when he performed the summoning. And I returned to Embla, this time as Nino. Anna: I get it! Kushala: i see it now! Anna: Hate thought Leo was hidding as Kiran! Kushala: and Kiran was hidding as Nino! Alfonse: for that she sent Nino to Muspell. Sharena: and for that she sent Kiran to Nifl! Exactly! We managed to make Hate think what she had everything under controll. Kushala: you acted like you were trying to hide from Hate, but your real objetive... It was to help my friends, it really is a big difference, because as we said a few times, Hate knows when someone is acting. Kushala: But is hard for her to see when someone acts naturally. Fjorm: how you did that disguises? Tico: using those gems, I have to say without Lavos I couldn't have been able to make them. Lavos: %&!@+×£<~₩#& Tico: let me translate it: "Inside me, I have the DNA of all existing living things, thanks to that we managed to make that disguises, you even smell like that person, with that you can see the accuracy of the disuises" Let me do a little summary: Hate tried to create more hate using Embla, Nifl, Muspell and Askr, but using the summoning and those disguises we managed to trick her and stop her plans. Blackmask: she actually is an infinite idiot. FCorrin: We have friends we want to protect, and we will do anything for them! Lavos: %&!@+×£<~₩#& "Leo you are so sexy." Lavos: %&!@+×£<~₩#&!!!!! Tico: Ok ok, it was just a joke, ejem: "I have to say I'm no different, but Hate is even more dangerous than me" She always thought I was running away, but I was trying to help my friends! And that was her fail! Because she doesn't have friends and she can't understand what we are able to do in order to help our friends! Tico: and that is the end.

OOC: I'm here. Hi.

OOC: finally read the whole thing and only have one question. Did Tico seriously call me “Luy”?

Ooc: Your wish has been granted! ;) 13 minutes later, but still.

the group reached Leo and Lavos, Leo was prepared with his brynhildr and Lavos with his two pods. Hate was a few steps away, looking at them with her smile. Hate: you did well Leo. Leo: i won't let you do that Hate, I won't let you play with the people like toys. Hate: beautifull words, but I have still time to complete my plans, I just need to beat you, here and now! Fjorm: I- Kiran: no, she is vey dangerous, we'll remain here. Fjorm:b-but... Kiran: I believe in them, I know they can beat her. Lavos: &$@/!/#^×=+÷. Tico: "we are going to beat you" he said that. Hate: so... its time to fight? Alright, show me what are you made of! Hate took out her crimson katana, she was surrounded by a magical aura while she was smiling the team. Hate: Leo and his friends, versus an infinite, I'm going to enjoy this! Leo: she is very dangerous, don't let you guard down! Tico: I agree, think before act because is hard for me to tell you how is she going to attack. Leo: Alright Hate, we'll stop your plans here! Battle begins: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fsIIvarApF4 Hate: 10000 OOC: Remember if you lose it will affect the history, please be carefull.

You know you could at least your plan failing without throwing a hissy fit and trying to kill us. What's the matter? You HATE us now or something Maria (Comms) and Mayu: Oooooooh. Caeser: Imbecile... *Sam activates Keraunos System: Field. All allies Attack and Evasion up. All foes Attack and Evasion down. All allies Attacks Pierce foes Resistances. Caeser charges.*

"So...do we really...have to fight her? All of this...is already making me...naseous..." {Sophia let go of her tome as it levitated in the air, still near her as the pages turned at a fast pace.} "Well...so be it..." {Sophia closed her eyes, her tome closing as it disappears out of thin air. As she opened her eyes, the tome reappeared, opened to a certain page as it was shown to Hate. A reflective barrier was seen faintly in a transparent line of sight before it faded back away.} {After that, she grabbed her tome and started gathering energy from it, the sense of imminent darkness coming from her general direction as she charged her spell.} Ooc: Barrier uses her SP as a substitute for HP (multiplied by 0.5, then added to the original amount.) while also taking 15% less damage. Currently, SP = 1155. Barrier = 1732

Luard pauses to think for a moment. Friends? All this for a few people? It makes no sense to him. For that matter, why has he come this far? For that, there is no answer. Luard carefully steps back, removing his tablet from beneath his cloak This is as far as I go. I won’t risk my life, not for nothing. Do try to avoid hitting me. I understand splash damage is a thing

"Agreed, only in it for Alm." [Faye says on a whim as she eats an orange next to Luard. Etel is also next to her and everything.] "To be perfectly honest, I think that Sophia girl will drop out as well, she's probably bluffing with Sam or something. I can tell by her actions." {She looked toward Etel, blank stare, and Etel gave a blank stare back. After that, Faye then looked back at Hate} "Although, if Alm does get hurt by anything at all, I'll slay her personally. But for now, I won't be doing much."

Sam: attack and speed up, down to Hate failed the pierce resistances. Caesed: charged Cat: he found three cores, on the ceiling adive Hate, and two pilars, maybe you can use them to block an attack. Sophia: charged (shield 1155). Faye: away Luard: away Leo: bolganone: hits Hate: her sword disappeared and she began to fly with angelic wings. Lavos: demonic song: fails. Right pod: marakukaja: defense up. Left pod: uses a magic ray, blocked. Hate: ragnarok, hits. Hate: oh Sam, is true what I have chances to lose, don't act like you are perfect, I know you are still annoyed because Tico hacked you, so sad. Hate: megidoladyne, hits all Tico: Have a nice weeeeee! Tico: mediarama. Sam: 1483 Caeser: 1068. Sophia: 1700 (Shield 1251). Leo: 1465 Lavos: 1584 Right pod: 1731 Left pod: defeated. Hate: 9213

Can't lie. I'm slightly ticked off. Though that little gremlin impressed with that as well, so I can let it slide. Besides, I don't hold grudges. No point getting mad at the little things in life. You of all people should be able to understand that, yeah? Caeser: Crocea! Mors! *Sam fire System Keraunos: Seeker (Heavy electric damage. Allied and Foe electric attacks will only hit the targetted foe this turn) at Hate. Caeser rushes at Hate and slashes at her with a powerful 5 hit combo with his sword.*

Luard briefly glances to Faye sitting beside him, a sensible choice, but the reasoning seems... Weird. Naturally, Luard raises an eyebrow You went all this way for one guy? If I may be so blunt, you almost sound obsessed. Not that it’s bad. Simply... Strange. I’ve never known someone so concerned for another.

{Sophia then sighs, as the presence of darkness fades away quickly, her book closing and disappearing out of sight. She then raises her hand slightly, her staff now appearing to take place of her tome for now.} "I'll be...saving that...for later...but I'll just...do this...for now..." {The staff is then raised up into the air as it glows, doing it's wonderful magic as it heals everyone by half of their health and curing any non-special status conditions, even though no one has those at the moment.} {After that, the staff then points towards Hate as Sophia stares at her with a void gaze. At that moment, a flock of birds and ravens then appeared from behind her, attempting to plunge themselves into Hate. They would follow her until they would be destroyed by Hate herself or if they hit a wall (Miniscule Curse Damage x15).}

Sam: blocked. Hate: true, small things helps you to grow up as person, but when you want to reach perfection, small turns into the biggest thing. Hate: panta rhei, hits. Caeser: hits 1 times. Hate: before the others attacks manage to hit Hate took again her crimson Katana to block the remaining slashes, she reurned to the ground and her wings disappeared, she quckly moved around Caeser, slashing him, after that she returned to her spot. (4 medium). Cat: hits. Hate: the sword disappeared and her wings returned. Sophia: blocked. Hate: divine judgement (halves hp), hits. Leo: rexbolt: blocked. Hate: demonic decree (halves hp), hits. Lavos: dreamreaver: blocked. Hate: Thunder reign, hits. Right pod: quckly flies and hits Hate: hits. Hate: her swings disappeared and she prepared her katana. Hate: Riot gun, fails on the right pod. Tico: protected Sam Sam: 1660 Caeser: 218. Sophia: 861 (Sp 0). Leo: defeated. Lavos: 657 Right pod: 712 Left pod: defeated. Hate: 7813 The right pod decreases her defense to revive.

{Faye looked at Luard with a casual expression, but she mimicked him by raising her own eyebrow while still facing him.} "What, were you never the type of person that's fond about having friends? Well, Alm is my childhood friend, from Ram Village. That seemed to make it so that I was focused on only him for the most part." {She stood up from her spot and looked up in the air, intentionally ignoring Hate.} "Though, to be honest, I thought I've matured over my little crush with Alm. But I do love him dearly, so much so that I prove myself wrong everytime. I even avoided making friends with another girl just so I could stress my feelings for Alm in private..." {She then looked around the field, her eyes soon searching through every inch of the area only to find that Alm isn't really anywhere to be found.} "Hmm, I thought I saw him somewhere a while ago..."

*Sam summons Marietta. Marietta casts mediarama before recloaking itself* It's a good thing I don't want to be perfect then. Unlike the other bastards I know who strive to not be weak or to be immortal or some other stupid ass thing like that, I like me. Egotistical, genius, one armed, broken-legged old me. Perfection is boring anyway. Mayu: You tell her, Boss. Maria (Comms): Huh. The idiot being humble for once. Who would have guessed, huh Kyu? Caeser: Enough of this. *Ceaser raises his sword and casts Dazzle Ray.*

{Sophia winced a bit to all the damage, her barrier goes off as her expression changes from neutral to slightly aggravated. She was grinning at Hate, her patience being tested.} "...I won't be...seeing the light...because I was...trying to fight...with these infants...I'm...falling back..." [she muttered under her breath.] {Sophia glared at Hate for a quick second before opening a portal, going through it. She went out to where Luard and Faye was. Sophia sighed as she took elixir and drank it, healing her fully healed, not even going to bother with healing Sam.} {She then stares at the Cat, staying silent so that she won't give away it's position, while also gradually regenerating her SP as she stays out of the fight.}

Sam: party healed. Hate: indeed, enought conversation for now, I want to see if you can keep this up. Caeser: hits Hate: her sword disappeared and the wings returned. Cat: waiting Sophia: fully healed and resting. Lavos: grandstone: hits. Hate: the wings disappeared and the sword returned. Right pod: preparing to revive all fallen teammates. Hate: one shot kill to Caeser, crit hit. Tico: charges Sam. Sam: 1660 Caeser: defeated. Sophia: 1660 (Sp 481). Leo: defeated. Lavos: 2000 Right pod: 2000 Left pod: defeated. Hate: 5913 The right pod revived all fallen teammates. Leo, left pod and Caeser fully healed.

There’s that word again. Friends, love. If only he had internet here, Luard might be able to look it up. Turns out medieval realms don’t have a good WiFi connection. Instead, Luard sighs and raises three fingers on his left hand Researchers like myself have three relationships. Luard lowers one finger First, partners. When working on the same project in tandem, or particularly similar ones, we sometimes share discoveries in order to hasten both of our progress Luard lowers a second Second, Rivals. When working on a the same project, rather than working together, sometimes we race to make a breakthrough first. In this way we push each other in a different way. Luard lowers his last finger Finally, enemies. Only in extreme circumstances, typically if one sabotages another, they will enter into more extreme competition. Duels sometimes happen between enemies, but most keep a more level head than that. Luard sighs and returns his eyes to his tablet, briefly glancing up to take notes As you can see. “Friends” never enter the picture.

*Caeser form starts to glow, but the right pod restored his form. Caeser's eyes flashed.* Caeser: You... I'm going put you down like the dog you are. I do not like barbarians who threaten my subjects or me. Mayu: Caeser. Caeser wait. Oh, he's pissed. That could be bad. And to make matters worse, our allies are falling back. Don't they care? Maria (Comms): Lu-Lu is a big meanie, Miss Faye only cares about one thing and that guy isn't here and mage lady is hurt. I hate life. Activating Defence Matrix. *Sam activates Defence System: Jade ( Wind Null. Fire Resist. Nuclear Weak.). Caeser roars. All stats up. Charged.*

{Faye listened to Luard's little lecture about the 3 types of whatever relationships he's had during his time. She looked as if she was very invested, but she seemed excited only for the counterarguments that she has set up.} "Well, for one, about partners. Partners aren't just partners because you're both trying to complete a similar goal. As you said, when you...share discoveries...you are still helping each other out. And from that, you can also form a bond as you both assisted each other, knowing full and well that you can count on each other the next time you can be assigned to be with them again." "Rivals are a bit weird...I still see Celica as a rival to Alm, as she has much more of a shot then I do of marrying Alm, but that's besides the point! Sometimes, Rivals can just branch out to being good or bad. You both push each other, but that's to motivate the both of you to succeed in whatever project you are doing. In a way, you're still being partners, and even friends, just that you are competing against each other more then you are trying to help each other." "Then again, Rivals can just branch out to being horrible. Which brings me to your next point. Enemies. Every enemy of Alm is an enemy of mine as well. The only enemies I've ever seen is one where we have to kill...because war is war. There rarely could've been a case where an enemy could become a friend, as they just go and keep paying each other back for each misdeed they deal towards each other, but it's still possible." {She then went up to Etel, turning back towards Luard.} "Gosh, I was rambling a lot. You agree too, don't you?...Then again, your perspective is yours alone, you can learn from others, but you don't have to bend your own thoughts. Because you really didn't have to listen to a village girl like me blather on about friendship, to someone like you." "That reminds me...Alm doesn't seem to be here...well that means I have absolutely nothing to worry about! I guess I can help now...still, just not now though. This positioning is horrible."

Luard pauses to think for a moment, chin in his hand. They never actually defined friend, perhaps it’s a vague idea. He may not have given enough information in that regard It is true that most of us just ignore the peasantry. Yet if one truly seeks knowledge m, they must at least consider ideas from all sources. Distancing oneself too much can result in missed opportunities. Luard speaks evenly and calmly, there’s no hint of sustain in his voice, rather he merely states what seems to be obvious to him As for the subject of friend, it sounds closest to partners, only it lingers well over the period one works together. Or rather, perhaps the work never stops. Though, for us there is no sort of lingering sentiment or trust after a partnership. It was mutually beneficial l. That is all. Rivals. Ours are always the bad kind you speak of. It is an eternal race for glory, fortune. Losing to a rival results in a great waste of resources and loss of confidence in your ability. Most researchers try to avoid it for that reason, though no ill-will is borne afterwards in most cases. The few cases in which it escalates to sabotage, or worse, typically result in enmity. It is an extreme waste, as all participants only suffer for it. I do not understand it well myself, but it happens.

{Oh goodie, friendship. Not like she's known that for 1000 years. Maybe it wouldn't have been so tedious if she hadn't been summoned by Kiran to fight with these children.} "This is getting...dull...boring...if I could rush it...I would...but I still...have to regain...my energy..." {Sophia merely sighs, putting the hood of her cloak over her head as she stared back at Caesar.} "...maybe a living shield...would be necessary...I could always just...revive them later."

Sam: resistantces changed. Caeser: charged. Cat: waits. Sophia: guards Leo: attacks with his brynhildr, hits. Hate: not bad! This is pretty interesting! Let's see how you deal with this. Lavos: guards Right pod: matarukaja, increases allies attack. Left pod: debilitate, all stats down Tico: mediarama Sam: 1660 Caeser: 1500. Sophia: 1660 (Sp 881). Leo: 1700 Lavos: 1257 Right pod: 1312 Left pod: 1000 Hate: 5000. Update incoming.

Hate: time to fly! Leo: watch out! Hate sent two tornados to the team, they took away Leo and Lavos out of the battle, one of the tornados is going directly to Faye. Kiran: Alm! Alm: Do it! Kiran managed to summon Faye, Alm quckly picked her before she hits the ground. FCorrin: Leo! Corrin ran to assist Leo, but Hate created a magic wall, separating FCorrin and Alm (holding Faye in his arms) with Kiran and the others, Corrin, Alm and Faye have no choice but joining the team to beat Hate. FCorrin: You! Alm: we have to beat her! Alm and FCorrin joined the team, Leo and Lavos left. Hate took away her sword, she is now looking at the group with her angelic smile, the aura arounds her is becoming stronger. Tico: her power i- Hate: Later dear! I have a gift! Hate screamed, the whistle ended up breaking their eardrums Scream: (permadebilitate effect). Battle resume.

*In response to Hate's scream, Sam and Mayu recoil. Caeser points his sword at her and charges.* Caeser: Graaaaaaah *Caeser charges at Hate and performs a powerful 5 hit combo on her* Mayu, control your contractor Mayu: I don't think I can anymore *Sam rolls his eyes before firing a beam of lightning at Hate. System Keraunos: Beam (Heavy electrical damage. Pierces resistances*

Sam: hits. Hate: kiss: Hate moved a hand to her lips, she kissed her hand and move it towards Caeser, sending him the kiss (drains 600 HP). Caeser: hits 2 times. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP). Cat: pilar fell, the team obtained guard effect. Alm: attacks with mortal blow, hits. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP), hits. FCorrin: dragon fang, hits. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP), hits. Hate: absolute zero on Caeser: Hate performed the absolute zero skill on Caeser (heavy ice damage 5 times). Sam: 1060 Caeser: 146. Alm: 900 FCorrin: 1000 Hate: 2387.

*Caeser looks ready to charge again, but Mayu steps in front of him.* Mayu: You're done Caeser. Retreat. Take the time to calm yourself Caeser: I... Very well. I shall do as you ask. Can't this form over something so petty, after all. *Caeser's form glows and vanishes in a flash of light. Mayu steps up in his place. Switch (HP maxed. Moveset changed.). Mayu points her 7 pointed swords at Hate and fires a beam of Plasma at her. Plasma ray (Severe Fire damage to one foe). Sam matches her with System Keraunos: Ray (Severe Electric Damage to one foe) and a smirk.* Actually fighting for once, my assistant Mayu: Got bored sitting on the sidelines. I'll try not to show you up, Boss. Oh ho. A challenge. Whoever takes her out owes the other a Pizza. Mayu: Oh, you're on.

Sam: hits. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP) Mayu: hits. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP) Cat: hits. Hate: kiss (dealed damage, but not drained). Alm: attacks with aether, hits. Hate: kiss (drains 600 HP). FCorrin: turns into a dragon and attacks with her dark breath, hits. Hate: alright, you win, congratulations. Hate: 1. Battle end. Hate: looks like I've lost... so sad... Leo: you don't look sad. Hate: I don't have my full powers here, I'm at your level right now, I said it before. Tico: you are an infinite loser. Blackmask: get out of here, before we crush you. Lavos: &!//@+÷=%€ Hate: for now, I'll leave, but I know you won't forget me, right, Leo? Leo: why? Tico:.... Hate: is destiny dear, just destiny, and curiosity. Leo:... Hate: good bye dear, we'll meet again. Hate disappeared, but you feel what you will see her again... Fjorm: is over? Kiran: for now. Gunnthra: my apologies, i didn't expected this. Leo: is not your fault... Tico: are you alright? Leo: yes. FCorrin: we should return to Askr. Fjorm: we'll go with you. Leo: let's return. Preparing another update.

Surtr is followed by his soldiers, they are leaving Askr and retreating to a close camp they prepared, Surtr is bleeding and starting to breath heavily. Surtr: w-why... Muspell... Why...? Soldier: Muspell dislikes Surtr!? Why? Soldier 2: do you think I know it!? During the talk, a woman covered in flames appeared, it was Laevateinn, she has the flare of Muspell now. Surtr: L-laevateinn? Why you have the flare!? Laevateinn:... Soldier 3: p-princess? Why aren't you in Nifl? Laevateinn:............ Surtr: give me the flare now! Laevateinn: shut up... pig. Laevateinn used her sword, now covered in flames, to stab Surtr in his chest and kill him. Surtr: W-what...? L-lae...vateinn... Soldier: W-why!? Laevateinn: is what Muspell wants... a new king... a queen... Soldier 2: a queen? But Laejgarn should be... ???: I've made my choice. Soldier: w-who is there!? ???: the one you adore, your god Muspell, I've chosen her as the new queen of Muspell, Surtr has disappointed me and he has what he deserves. Soldier: Muspell!? Is that true!? ???: do you negate my existence!? Soldier: O-of course not! Soldier 2: What are you waiting for!? Muspell has spoken! Glory to the queen! Soldiers: GLORY TO THE QUEEN!!GLORY TO THE QUEEN!!GLORY TO THE QUEEN!!GLORY TO THE QUEEN!!GLORY TO THE QUEEN!!GLORY TO THE QUEEN!! Laevateinn picked up the crown and put it in her head, she had an inexpressive face... more than ussual... Loki: something is wrong... Loki walked towards Laevateinn, she put a hand on her shoulder. Loki: are you alright? You look... different. Laevateinn: I just did what I should have done time ago, let's move, we have a world to conquer. after a few hours of fly over the Kushala the group returned to Askr, Leo talked to Alfonse and the others, they got impressed when they knew about Hate and Leo's plan. Looks like they doesn't know what happened in Muspell's army, is better to wait for now. Well, is time to rest, what are you going to do? Rooftop: Lavos and Tico (only cat and Sam). Summoner room: Leo and Kiran. Kitchen: felicia and FCorrin Outside: Blackmask and Veronica.

I need to go talk to the bookworm. You coming? Mayu: Eh. Guess I got nothing better to do for now. Someone has to babysit you, after all. Babysit, eh? Heh. If that's what you wanna call it. *Sam and Mayu advance towards the Summoner's Room.*

Cat and Sam: event. The Cat found Tico, waiting and Lavos, calmly looking the forest around the casttle, they turned to him when he reached the rooftop. Tico: just in time, I think we have to decide what we do with Lavos. Lavos:.... Tico: Leo, he is here. Tico opened a screen, Leo and Sam were on it. Leo: Sam is here with me, listen, we have to decide if we kill Lavos, or we let him live, he has done a lot of terrible things: he played with our life, he manipulated part of mankind and he tried to destroy the world. Leo: but is true what he protected Tico when we fought my brother, and thanks to him we managed to stop Hate. Tico: I think when we killed Lavos, we actually killed his survival instinct, i think that was pushing him to that, anyways I just say it as information, that doesn't mean we can forget what he did that easily. Leo: true, well, the decision is in your hands: Lavos:..... Choose: >Let Lavos live (under strict conditions, for example obeying all your orders). >Kill him.

The cat thinks for a while. Lavos did all those terrible things, but... Meow. The cat wants to let him live. Somehow, he has a feeling that Lavos changed... of course, they'd all have to keep a close eye on them.

*Sam shrugged* He attacked you not me. You choose Bookworm, I'm not fussy. Not like there's not another of it in the multiverse. Still, it fought Hate. It could be a useful weapon. If that's what you want. It's just my opinion. And it's not a choice I care about enough to make.

Cat and Sam: event 1 blank vote 1 to let him live. You decision is done: Lavos joined the team. Tico: don't do anything strange or we'll kill you. Lavos: $!#@=+##@ Translation: My life belongs to you, use it as you need. Leo: is done then, now Tico, think on something to say to Magus when he discorvers this. Tico: nah just the truth. Leo: it won't be that easy. Tico: yeah... Leo: alright, you can cut this. Lavos: &*^/$#&$*. Translation: So we sleep in the same bed, right Leo? Lavos: #+=$!%!$@_!!!! Real translation: i'll do anything to help you, farewell. Lavos went inside the casttle. OOC: going to sleep, tomorrow we continue, also, I'll start with the update of Luard''s action.

Luard went outside, there he found Blackmask and Veronica, they are playing chess. Veronica: hmm... Blackmask: not there, you will lose your queen. Veronica:.... Blackmask: are you sure? Veronica: and... here? Blackmask: perfect if you want to lose. Veronica: don't read my mind! Blackmask: nah is funny, can you move? I'm tired of waiting. Veronica used a fire spell to burn the table and the game. Blackmask: hmmm... yep, it was the only way to save your units, well played princess. Veronica: :). OOC: when you want we continue guys

Luard chuckles as he passes by before remarking Ah yes, just light your problems on fire. I’m sure that will solve everything. Luard sighs before taking one long look around the place, as though drinking in the sights

*Sam leant against a wall. He looked at Leo.* You could have told me you were going covert, Bookworm. I can keep a secret, you know? Not that I didn't know who you were all along. My Thoth's eye is impossible to fool. Mayu: *Cough cough* Bullshit *Cough cough* Silence. I had suspicions. After all. You were hiding as Nino. And Nino can't read. How can she use a cookbook?

Sam: Leo: Smart as always Sam, but believe me, is a miracle we managed to stop Hate's plan, that could have made her even stronger than she is. But don't worry Sam I trust you, if I need to tell you something I'll do it, if I don't is just because I could need time to do it. Luard and Cat: Veronica: I just did this two times today and I have to like fire? You are weird, I'm glad you went to Askr Luard. Blackmask: second!? This is the fi- hmhmhmm! Veronica: You... Should... shut... up... ok? Blackmask: nope! Blackmask disappeared. Veronica: I want to disappear like he does, It could be funny to see how the people acts when you do it hehehe... You feel what you don't want to stay there any longer... Veronica: Kitty!!!!! And the feeling disappared, Veronica ran and she began to pet the the cat. OOC: sorry for the delay.

Meow... The cat has a feeling that things were a bit tense a few seconds ago, but accepts the pets with some low purring anyway.

I know. I trust ya. Don't worry about it. So, anything else we need to worry about while we're here? No demon lord's gonna pop up outta nowhere with a legion of skeletons and monsters? No mad kings trying to wake up any dark gods? No gods trying to murder us all?

Luard grins, but swiftly concrwals his face by turning away towards the outside ‘Bout that. I’m more of a free agent. Never worked for Askr or anything, simply found myself here and decided to see what I can get out of it. Now that that’s over, it’s time for me to move on. Though I would advise you to watch that temper, might get you in trouble one day. Wasn’t planning to leave a note or anything, you were just unlucky enough to be along the way after Glancing back once more, Luard simply picks a direction and starts walking

Sam: Leo: keep saying that and they will come to slay us, I would like to keep talking with you, but I have to see what should we do now, farewell. Leo left the area. Cat and Luard: Veronica; ok then, I'll remain with the Kitty! Oh kitty! You are so cute! and suddenly, you begin to hear a voice in your head. Tico: Eeeeeeeeeveryooooooooooooooneeeeeeeeeeeeee is time for the war meeting! We should discuss togehwe what we should do now what Hate is completelly DEATH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Leo: coul- Tico: Yeah yeah... anyways, Kitty, Sammy and Luy please meet us in the reunion room, have a nice weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The voice disappeared. New place avariable: Reunion room: History.

Meow. The cat meows to Veronica, as if asking her to follow him, then heads towards the room Tico mentioned.

Reunion room? *Mayu opens up a holographic screen.* Mayu: Seems to be a room near the centre of the castle. Pretty much, it's a war room. The war effort of the Askran forces are being set up there. I see. Well, we shouldn't make them wait, shall we? Come one, Mayu. Mayu: Coming, Boss *Mayu and Sam advance towards the Reunion Room.*

Sam and Cat: Sam and Cat made thier way to the war room, there they found everyone. Kiran, Sharena, Alfonse, FCorrin, Lavos, Leo, Tico, Fjorm and Gunnthra, they are on a seat, waiting. Leo: greetings, first of all, Muspell, any ideas?

Is it our problem anymore? Our mission was to find you. We even took out Hate as a bonus. Easy. Mission Complete. Let's go home. Mayu: Boss has a point. The politics of foreign lands aren't our concern. Especially those that aren't in your world or even in your universe. I'd ditch. Leave these other guys to their own devices.

Cat and Sam. Fjorm: why you say that? Are you really going to leave us? Kiran: is true, you came only to save Leo... Gunnthra: we are not going to stop you, you are free to do what you wish. Alfonse: you've helped us enought, I'm not going to stop you. Leo: is not that easy. Sharena: what do you mean? Tico: Muspell. Suddenly the Kushala appears in the room Kushala: Muspell? Everyone: AAAAAAH! A DRAGON! Kushala: WAAAAA! Tico: HOW THE FUCK DID YOU CAME HERE!? I NEVER NOTICED YOU! Sharena: Anything is big enough for you to come in! How!? Kushala: uh.... Leo: we are getting away from the point! Tico: but... Leo: later. Tico: ok... Ejem, as I said, we are not only dealing with a kingdom. Lavos: $!//@&!(+%÷. Translation: we are dealing with an elder dragon, compared to a god.

Being compared to a god an actually being a god are two very different things. Mankind has praised much over the years. Hell, a lowly Earthworm can be a god in the eyes of the people. But the dragon itself is not that much a problem. Mayu: Yeah. The people are the problem. If they believe something to be true, they will fight for their belief. That makes this dragon a problem. For you lot, at the very least. Every worshipper of the dragon is a warrior against you now. A child. A poor man. A noble. A soldier, every one of them. What will you do I wonder? Maria (Comms): Gah! My head hurts! To much complicated stuff!

Lavos: &^!/@$#^& Translation: Sam... your words ar- Leo: Tico, don't. Tico: oook... Real translation: that is the point Sam, Muspell's kingdom thinks he is a god, for that we have to stop him. Leo: If we don't do anything, Muspell and Surtr... Leo was about to continue, but Anna and Veronica came in. Veronica: Surtr is dead. Alfonse: what!? Sharena: he is...!? Anna: Laevateinn killed him, she is the queen of Muspell now. Leo: I see... Tico: maybe Muspell knows Hate failed, but we can use this at our advantage. Fjorm: Laevateinn, she has the flare now? Gunnthra: if she is the queen, she will have it. Kushala: is there a way to damage her with that flare? Veronica: there is no need to hurt Laevateinn. Kiran: what do you mean? Anna: Come in. Laegjarn came in, she has shackles in her hands and legs. Leo: tell us. Laegjarn: I only do this because I want to save Laevateinn, so don't think bad. Fjorm: I also want to save her. Laegjarn: !!! Fjorm: when she was chasing me, she didn't catch me thanks to Kiran and the others, byt I felt, she wasn't doing her best to chase me, she was giving me time, part of me tells me that. Laegjarn:... Laegjarn: she is a good girl, after all... ejem, as I was saying, if we talk to her, we could convince her to reject Muspell, she is strong, but I'm sure she can defy and fight Muspell. Leo: we have two options now, talk to Laevateinn or kill her, something hard due to the flare. Tico: I'm sure if we mix ice skills from Gunnthra, Fjorm, the Kushala, and Leo or Veronica we can damage her and beat her, the flare needs time to unleash his true power. Leo: Sam, Kitty, something to say?

So, Levy's jumped off the deep end? That was unexpected. Mayu: Can't say I saw that coming. Well, I guess I might as well help with that.

Mrr... The new fiery queen isn't very talkative, but.. Meow. Maybe her sister could help talk some sense into her.

Leo: then we will do this: Leo: We'll go to Muspell, we'll infiltrate in the casttle and... we'll save Laevateinn. Kiran: understood. Fjorm: yes! Gunnthra: We can always give her a chance. Sharena: Let's go! Laegjarn:... Alfonse: time to end this war. Anna: the final mission. Veronica: This will be funny. Kushala: count with me. Lavos: /!$@%+_×. FCorrin: is time to do this! Is time to go to the fourth kingdom, Muspell, you will try to save Laveateinn and stop Muspell to end this war. This long chapter is about to end, what will happen? Will you be able to beat Muspell? Will you save Laevateinn? Or you will let her die? Is up to you. To be continued on: Summoned: The final chapter.
