Raiden took a quiet walk into these woods, looking around for the white shinning flowers. After some time searching he made it into a clearing, seeing a women sat down on a stone staring into the lake. Approaching calming, Raiden signal at the woman attention as he waved. "Hello there, couldn't help to notice the ruins. Do you know why they're here?" He said with a confused look on his face. "Oh, my apologies, I'm Raiden Genesis."

A portal opens up above the lake. A teen with one blue eye and one pink eye wearing a long blue trench coat and wielding a chain whip with star engravings on it pops out from the portal. He looks at the ground from all the way in the sky and starts falling. He falls into the lake with a loud splash. He swims to the ruins in the middle of the lake. He gets out and looks around. What is this place? It seems very strange... I haven't been to a place like this in a long time.

/Raiden, as Aki I know him, but as Azalea not so I have to be carefull what I say/ Azalea stands up Sir Genesis then? These are said to have appeared out of knowwhere 1000 years ago, from what I heard. No one knows for sure. I can't even identify this language. Her red eyes look at him What took you to this place?

i know right, gotta be careful too. Raiden pondered the information for a moment. He knew most spoken languages from his travels, however with his luck it was a lot one. "Wondering around the woods took me there if you want to know. For me personal, I wanted to see the white shining flowers. Such a mystical flower may make way for beatuful creations." Raiden said, trying not to shiver from her red eyes. "May I ask what's inside the ruin?"

Monochrome looks over at Azalea. I don't know what brought me here. My guess is that Mr. Dream brought me here. He likes to drag us into random universes and places like he are his playthings. Anyways, Nice to meet you. The name's Monochrome.

Azalea smiles at Mono It is a pleasure to meet you as well. Guess this place attracts curious travelers. She picks up one of the flowers Sadly the shine of this flower only is caused by the lake. the flower in her hand turns black This is why they grow here. A sad look turned into a warm smile I wanted to investigate these ruins myself. To find something to cheer up my sister.

A single glowing orange butterfly could be seen fluttering out of the forest and not far behind it a woman with long raven hair trailed behind it, coming out into the clearing. The butterfly, glowing a little brighter now, circle around the woman. "Is this the place you were guiding me?" she asked before the butterfly faded away. She looked at the ruins and noticed the others by the lake shore. She slowly walked over with a small smile. "Good evening. Would you by any chance know anything about this lake and the ruins?"

Raiden move his hand forward for a handshake towards Mono. "Pleasure to meet you Monochrome. My name Raiden Genesis, The Floudre Magican himself." Raiden said with a short bow and turning back to the woman. "Well if you want to cheer up your sister, maybe bring her some of the flowers. I have a feeling that whatever makes the lake glow them might be linked to the ruin. Let's head inside?" Raiden said to the group.

Monochrome: Ruins, eh? Monochrome looks at the ruins. Monochrome: Seems like fun. You mind if I tag along? It will give us something to do.

Raiden simply smiled, looking at the newcomer with a wave. "Good evening ma'am, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Unfortunately, no however we are thinking to investigate ourselves. Would you like to join?" Raiden said with a bow.

Azalea sighs I will share everything I know before we head in. Crystal Lake is a myth spawned acording to rumors 1000 years ago. It was a lake near a fortress during war times and the glow is said to be a sign of peace. The moon is a great symbol for this place and it was protecte by a white wolf. The wolf died, protecting a child of a mother who hid from the enemy. The entrance was closed off, but some weeks ago I heard the rumors that it is open now. And I was right. That is all. I just wanna see, what is the mystery behind it. Maybe to have a good story to tell my twin sister.

"Could this be a sacred ground of Ciel?" the woman muttered to herself as she looked back over the lake. She could probably gain more information by simply communing with the nature spirits of this place but after thinking about it for a short while, it had been a while since she had much human interaction. This could be a fun experience for her and maybe she could hear some worth while tales from these other travelers. She looked to the group with a nod of her head. "Very well. I would like to accompany you. I'll be in your care."

Monochrome starts thinking. Monochrome: Hm... Maybe I should let Michaelle handle this. Monochrome presses a pink button on his arm. He starts vibrating. His eye colors changed to all pink and the blue trench coat turns pink. Michaelle: Hiya. Name's Michaelle. Are we heading in?

Raiden noted all the information for the ruins as he smiled and chuckled, spinning his wand around in a small circle as a tapped the ground, a small bridge formed from one end of the pound to the ruin' s entrance. The bridge it self was made out of electricity, however did not shock the lake or anyone stepping on it. How strange. "Alrght then, let's get going. Don't want to keep your sister waiting Now! Or anyone's performance delayed!" With that he started to walk towards the ruins.

Azalea looked at the 3 My Graditute to you. She gives each of them a little blue gem Take these as a lucky charm and my thank you. Azalea tilted her head but then stepped on to the bridge I could have just made a frozen path, but I guess this works as well.

The woman simply giggled to herself as she walked across the bridge. "Before I forget, my name is Anatolia. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

Michaelle gets the gem. Michaelle: Thanks. Michaelle starts walking across the electric bridge. Michaelle: This is definitely one of the top weirdest things I have. A bridge of electricity not shocking the people or water... Up there with Star Vampires and Mr. Dream.

Raiden laughs, walking down the bridge. He turns to Michaelle, taking in her comment. "Well where I come from I'm known as a Constellation, so Star Vampire might not be too wrong. But.." Raiden thought about Alucard, but nah. "Anyway, your name is Anatolia? Nice to meet you, can I ask you about your Butterfly? Mainly what is it." Raiden said turning to the woman. Raiden gripped the rock in his hand, taking out his Star Gem he got through a maze he complete a while ago, placing them both into a black box and taking them back into his Black Void of Mystery (satchel) and made his way into the entrance.

Azalea bowed after she crossed the bridge I am Azalea, Azalea Noboku. Her right eye glowed slightly more red. She turns to the wall of the entrance and placed her hand onto it The wall opened. Inside water flew like water falls into the little canals. The path was made of white stones and a wolf crest banner hung on each wall. This definetly looks like a fortress, but more rich and royal. She placed her hand on her heart

Michaelle: Fancy looking... I am surprised this place hasn't degraded after, how long did you say, 1000 years? No building, not even the sturdiest could last 1000 years. It would eventually collapse or be flooded. Aw well. Time to head in. Michaelle starts walking down the path with her chain whip held in case of an attack.

"Star Vampire and Mr. Dream? Those sound very interesting. I would love to hear the tale behind them." she would then hear Raidens comment and slightly tilt her head "You are a constellation?" she questioned "Mira Sof Elais" she muttered under her breath but then shook her head upon realizing he wasn't the same. "The butterfly was a spirit of guidance. One of the many spirits that exist within the world. It's title Titania. It guides me to where I am needed. To hear the tale of those whose voices will never be heard." she said with a smile as she walked in after Azalea Anatolia looked at the wolf crest as she moved forward. This wasn't exactly the same but it could simply be the difference in worshipers. Though the truth was this was probably the crest of a human organization. If so then this may not be a sacred ground as she suspected. Did Titania guide her here to hear the tales of these travelers or is there something deeper inside?

Raiden taking out his notebook, wrote a detailed blueprint from what he sees, the entrance, the hall, etc. He flipped through his notebook, trying to make a mess of the wolf crest, but coming up short, or the wrong civilization. Doubt Beowolf made his way to a random Fortress . "I could almost envision this palace former glory, it's a shame what happened. I wonder if it was because of the war this place was abandoned or something else." Raiden said aloud the no one as he walked deeper inside.

Azalea smiles and lets a crow made out of dark mist fly forward and come back again My crow detects no traps or human lifesigns around. Also some walls here seem to have cut marks. So I think it was attacked and after that abandoned. the crow vanishes My Magic is not that strong in combat but a good guide. I wish i had a guiding butterfly too though. She lifts a cover from a barrel nearby, which revealed a skelleton. She covered her mouth in shock and looked away

Michaelle: Well, I guess I can tell you a tale about them, Anatolia. Star Vampires are like normal vampires but they are from space, invisible to the normal human eye, and crushes their prey and use tubular suckers to suck out blood. I kill them. You could say I'm a vampire hunter. Normally we can't see them, but thanks to my brother, Jerroz, we can see via spirit detection. Michaelle stops and looks around then continues to walk. Michaelle: He is not here. Thank god. Mr. Dream is a crazy wild card. He is a clownlike creature who was created by what he calls the "Creator of Stories" to make the universes that me, my pals, and our other universe doubles stay in. We fought him about 5 years ago and we barely won. We made a deal with him to keep him alive, but he is allowed to drag us into different dimensions, universes, places, et cetera. Imagine him as God, except there is apparently a higher power above him.

"Your magic is interesting. I don't believe I have seen one that creates a crow before." She wouldn't be surprised upon seeing the skeleton and would instead begin inspecting it. Anatolia looks over the skeleton but doesn't see any lingering spirit around it. Whoever this skeleton once belonged to had peacefully passed on. The level of decay on the bones also indicated that it had been here for a long time. She would then stand up and observe the scratches. "There was definitely a battle waged here many years ago. I agree with Michaelle as well. It is strange for it to have remained in such good condition despite the amount of time that has passed. Almost as if...." she would look back at the wolf crest once more "it was frozen in time" Thinking back to the flower that had wilted upon being picked her thoughts began to paint a bigger picture of what this place entails. "We should all be careful. There is a possibility that something deeper inside may have still survived all this time." After all, for it to have been sealed all this time might not mean its okay to enter now that it was open. It seemed like a fortress from a glance but there was a possibility this was actually a prison meant to keep something inside at bay.

Raiden looked towards Azalea and nods. "Hopefully we wouldn't be in combat here, but I'll make sure to protect you if need be. Though with two others here, maybe none of us need to worry about it." Raiden said once seeing Azalea power at work. Raiden took in the others comments, agreeing with them. "It really only stands to reason somethings must be keeping it in good condition. Or at the very least someone else must be coming here to repair it. If I had to guests on that... Well it wouldn't make much sense." Said Raiden looking at the skeleton with a burning turn in his stomach, it was all.... disgusting. To say the least.

Azalea got her grip back and answered Anatonoa My Magic is animal based kinda. I create water dragons, fire tigers, earth turtles, light insects, lightning snakes and lastly dark mist creatures. My water uses part ice so it'll be usefull for water paths I don't know if I can vary their forms, i am quite new to these powers. She nods I agree with that. Let's continue carefully. No lifesigns doesn't mean undead could not be walking around. She put a hand on Raidens shoulder and smiles I'll be fine , you don't have to worry about me. I'll do my best to back you up.

Michaelle: I got my trusty whip, so I am good for combat. This trench coat doesn't provide much protection though, so I have really bad defense. The undead isn't that much of a problem. I have dealt with them countless times before.

"I will do my best to help. You have my word under the Lunar Wolf Ciel and Solar Deer Avune." She said with a small smile she walked forward a little before the glowing orange butterfly appeared again, ready to guide everyone "Titania wishes to guide us. Shall we move forward?"

Alright then I leave it to you guys. She smirks Thank you really. She was lost in thought a bit but marched on

Raiden smiles back, as he nodded. "Then I'll hold you to it." He said with a smirk and soft laugh. "I dealt with the undead more times than I would like, so I have the experiences with them." He turns to Anatolia. "I don't mind, after all I'll rather a reliable source than walk around aimlessly." Or at least i don't have to take the blame myself.

Michaelle looks around. Michaelle: This place is really creepy. I'm getting some weird vibes.

I'll soon have to sleep, so I don't know if we can speed this up or continue this tomorrow, guess I'll sleep
