The Idol (Job/Allison)

Job:

The best part of waking up, so some say, is going back to sleep. Whoever had the chance to say that must be the luckiest people alive. Elyx had a hard time being aable to sleep, every morning started off the same. Ignite would wake up at the early three, then pick the job that promised either the most jewels. She was a treasure hunter after all, aiming for the items that pleased her the most, then forced the boy to go on the jobs so that she would have so much money. This job was no different, she ran into his room with two items in her hands. In the left was a paper, the right was a pillow. Elyx! The She-Phoenix exclaimed as she zipped over towards the boy, then began to smack the pillow against his face over and over. With her strength, it was enough to force his eyes awake. Argh! Ignite! Stop it! Just read the damn job already! That hurts! The Violinist admitted, saying that a pillow was enough to hurt him. Still though, his eardrums felt like they were going to just simply... Pop, any second from now. Ignite let out a sheepish smile as she then sat down on his bed before looking at the paper. Elyx leaned his body forward to see the job.

The violinist and the She Phoenix both sat side by side as they were reading what the job actually was. It turned out, it paid a heavy amount of jewels. 25,000... This is what the A rank jobs are like it seems, the boy was not sure about how he should react to this. 25,000 jewels would almost cover the amount of jewels he needed in order to pay for his rent. He did not know what to do with his jewels now, but now he planned to save them up for something good. He knew that if he kept on spending, he would never have anything truly big. There was once a point in which he worked enough jobs to not even worry, but one big mistake in spending can put the both of Elyx and Ignite in a terrible spot. Now... Though it paid heavily, there was probably a reason why the job paid so many jewels. Plus, there is an item promised at the end, but the boy was unable to confirm whatever a... Mirror Mask was.

All right, pain in the ass, we're no longer in Black Rose. We need to look for our client right? The boy said, the both of them traveling side by side, because timeskip powers. They were at the edge of Black Rose, quite a distance away from Clover Town. That was their destination, not that they knew the town that well anyways.

Allison blinked at the job request being held in front of her face by a pink feline.  Rubbing her eyes sleepily, the girl yawned and then whispered, "Lel... it's about four in the morning... and... I just got back from a job a little while ago...--!"  After a few random excuses, the cat had jumped on Allison, staring her in the eyes sternly.  The mage began to sigh, but just as her voice reached the lowest breath of air, her eyes popped wide open and she sprang out of bed, laughing happily.  Allison dragged the chat all around the apartment as she sprang here and there, taking a bath, getting dressed, eating breakfast-- everything which one did in the morning.  And then, she slammed straight into the door-- forgetting that it wasn't the kind that swung open with a single push, like her old apartment's had been.  Blinking and tilting her head to the side, the red haired girl let out an "Aaah," before she stepped back and kicked out the door, skipping away with no regard for the fact that her home was wide open now.

For the next few months, Allison would be living in Clover Town-- she had seen the beauty of it after the last job, which had been completed with a member of Black Rose, starting from the port of Clover Town.  She also already had a few friends here, some who were members of the guild Blue Pegasus-- but others were simply regular citizens.  Allison was still unfamiliar with the town despite the fact that she had been here so many times before on jobs, but supposed that it was to be expected.  After all, she had been to others as well-- Magnolia Town, Hargeon, Crocus-- and so they tended to get mixed and switched up in her mind.  Shrugging it all off, the girl ran through the streets for a little while before realizing a few things.  Firstly, she wasn't wearing shoes-- secondly, Allison was definitely lost right now, and lastly... she also had no clue where she was supposed to be.

Blinking to herself, the girl tried to remember the details that had been scribbled on the job request.  Lel had it, and Allison was in too excited of a mood to remember anything at the moment.  Skipping away in a random direction, all she could do was hope that she found the cat before it was too late-- after all, wasn't there supposed to be another mage involved, from another guild?  It wouldn't be any kind of polite action to make them wait!  With this thought in mind, Allison wandered away swiftly, only succeeding in becoming more lost.

(( Because Alli is uncreative, I'm copying you for now. ))

The two of them were traveling through the forest first, the same forest that the both of them needed to travel through in order to get out of the Neutral Grounds. It was the same one that blocked much of the sunlight that was supposed to be striking on the Earth, which is why Black Rose looked a lot more like a Bounty Hunting guild, as opposed to looking like a haunted town in a child's amusement park. The first thing to come was a giant spider, in which Ignite quickly jumped back and away from. Just like any girl who was afraid of insects, she let out a scream that echoed through possibly the legal and dark guilds all the same. Elyx looked back with his eyes half-closed, the placed his palm on his face as he walked around the beast. It meant no harm, so why did Ignite have to act like it was going to kill her. even if it did try to kill her, it would probably not even get the chance, she was a Phoenix. Fire against insects, that's like Fire against Earth, it was an instant victory for her. She was supposed to be as strong as an A ranked wizard, yet here she was being the worlds biggest eight year old. The boy had to drag Ignite throughout the rest of the forest from there, the drama that the She-Phoenix showed through the forest was amazing. Meanwhile, Elyx pulled out Mystic Knight Iris while pulling Ignite so that the both of them would be safe and cover ground.

Finally, the both of them saw the sun, causing Elyx to squint his eyes since his town did not normally have this much light. Ignite was fire, she was used to things shining so brightly. The violinist began to wonder if she could stare at the sun without a problem. That, of course, was not something that he should experiment with. They continued to walk through the Meadows to see where the town would be located. Sadly, Clover Town was still quite a distance away. He even only had one true connection there as well, as she was a child. Her name was Allison, from the Ship trip. The girl helped him face his fear, but he knew that this phobia would not leaave him forever. He did not plan to swim again for his own safety, it was a hot mess back when he froze in front of her and broke down even. When they returned to Clover Town, he ended up being swarmed by a bunch of her friends, in which he called them freaks. Call me! He could remember one of them saying, in which he ended up getting so stressed out. Get away from me you stalker! He remembered replying before bailing out. That was quite the experience...

The girl carried on skipping around, searching for her feline companion.  It seemed that the pink cat was nowhere to be found, and the mage happened to have such a poor sense of direction that she was also lost at the moment.  Raising up her shoulders in a light, careless shrug, Allison beamed cheerfully at nothing in particular as she stepped all around Clover Town.  After a little while, the red haired mage had ventured through many dark alleyways which were not always empty, but upon meeting a person who would often be considered dangerous-- she simply smiled and passed them, moving around at a quick pace.  Occasionally an apology for ignoring the other would be shouted over her shoulder, accompanied by a bright smile, but more often than not Allison simply rushed on, unaware that there even were others around her.

Eventually, the mage made the decision to forgo simply wandering around as she typically did and instead sat down abruptly to wait.  However, the location she had chosen was not the most practical area... for it was directly in the center of the busiest streets of Clover Town, and cars veered frantically around her, the drivers shouting for the female to move.  Blinking, Allison did so after being nearly squished into a splat on the road by a larger vehicle, whose owner had not noticed the girl until a few seconds before impact would have occurred.  After leaving the street, Allison tilted her head carefully to one side and then beamed, throwing her hands up into the air before skipping off once again into a randomly chosen direction.  Within a few more minutes, Allison had covered a decent amount of ground, ending up at the edge of Clover Town... and she was faced with a massive wall of trees, so dense that she could only pick out a few trunks and branches here and there.  For the most part, the entire forest was only a blurry green section, with nothing moving or living that she could observe.

Shrugging, Allison was just about to plunge in when she noticed a few of her friends here in Clover Town, two with tears streaming down their faces while the other seemed to be distinctly angered.  The red haired mage wandered over promptly and asked what was wrong, her eyes wide with concern-- after all, she hated to see anyone be in pain.  Immediately they attacked her, saying that her friend Elyx was actually quite rude and mean-- Allison was surprised by it all and some how ended up in a shop in Clover Town, buying new dresses for each to calm them down.  She didn't mind, of course-- whatever would bring about a cheerful smile, that was all she wanted out of this life.  After this ordeal had been solved and overcome, the girl waved a goodbye and gave a bright beam before bounding away-- it was time to find Lel Therine.

The boy looked over to see a town. It was Magnolia Town, nice to see the guild of Fairy Tail there. Elyx heard that many interesting people end up joining the guild, he wanted to at least see the diverse group of wizards. The violinist wanted to join them first, because that was the guild was a legal guild and was widely known. But then he settled to do his best in a different guild, there were many legal guilds, he knew that he was not needed. Like hell would he ever join a dark guild though, Elyxs intentions are pure to an extent. This being said, he did want revenge on Shadelle for all of the pain that they have caused to him for two years. Every night, he would cry himself to sleep because of Adrelissa’s demise, or murder being the more accurate word rather. If Allison were to have seen him back them, crying himself to sleep alone, she would have ended him on the spot. Elyx would have begged her to do it, and her purpose in life would be fulfilled, to take out all of the pain that he has been feeling. But now that he was a new man, with drained memories because of a choice that he made, to be drugged into losing emotions and memories that brought him to cry to sleep every night. Nimpha, she was certainly a good saint. Maybe she was not perfect, she has done some pretty crazy things, accidentally almost killing people while she is hunting. Like Ignite, Nimpha had a love for jewels as well, but not just jewels, but items like the Mirror Mask and Leviathan Iris. Treasures, a Treasure Hunter, the pieces seem to fit correctly.

The boy looked past the town to find another one as well a few miles ahead. With the speed enhancements, he and Ignite made a break for it to the town. They should at least try ot visit Allison in the mall if she were there, just to say hi, maybe speak to her parents about thei wonderful daughter. Maybe meet this “Alyia” person that the little girl seemed to adore so much, to call her an angel, she must be something special in Allisons life. Elyx and Ignite were blurring, the wind in their bodies causing them to reach the edge of the town in a record setting five more minutes. It was a nice thought, the both of them being able to see the little girl again. After all… The man did not give the both of them instructions. The first place that the both of them went to was the mall, just to track her down. That was the only place he knew he from anyways.

(OOC: Family arrived ^^)

Allison was still wandering around when she realized that Lel had said something the job mission while the two were rushing around their apartment. Supposing that it was probably only more details which could always be retold to her later, the red haired girl shrugged off the nagging feeling and continued on her way, waving in greeting to everyone whom she passed. The mall seemed busy in general today for some reason, although the shop that Allison had left her friends in hadn't been. As she skipped through the building, a small store caught her eye-- apparently, it sold jewelry, and Allison had an idea of what would make a perfect present for a certain someone. Therefore, the girl immediately entered the shop and began to inquire in a whirlwind of words, whether or not they sold any pendants with a water theme. After her encounter with Elyx a job or so ago, Allison wanted to gift him with a necklace the next time she met the boy; although it was unlikely, it never hurt to be prepared! After all, it was rare for the red haired girl to look ahead into the future, so why not act when she did manage to?

It took several minutes to pick out the perfect charm once she had been led to the correct section. It was very simple-- only a teardrop of dark sapphire, swinging freely on a twisted silver chain. The girl reflected upon the fact that it could possibly look rather girly, but the boy had been wearing a necklace on their mission which had a some what similar appearance... so, there was no reason for any issues to be present. Allison paid with a bright smile and took the small gift bag with her, the light object swinging freely but clutched tight in the fingers of her right hand. Glancing around, the redhead wondered exactly where she should go next. Lel Therine was apt to taking long naps outside in the sun, so continuing to search around here probably wasn't the best idea... perhaps she should find a park nearby? Deciding to do so, the mage was just skipping away when she noticed a certain brown haired boy just entering the mall. Immediately Allison's eyes widened and she made a beeline for the boy-- such perfect timing!

"Elyx-san!" the girl shouted cheerfully as she barreled towards the mage, gaining a few odd looks from passerby, but besides that not much happened. The red haired girl went for a full glomp, jumping up into the air to tackle him to the ground. The floor was hard tile, but... hopefully he could handle it and wouldn't fall-- and wouldn't dodge either, since Allison didn't fancy being knocked out due to hitting her own head against the stone pathway.

(( It's fine. I had to go somewhere too, also I won't be able to post as much today T^T we're going on a trip at a very not-opportune time, when I just began several threads. ))

So we are looking for a client who really expects us to find them without directions... Because you are a wizard? Ignite asked with both of her hands behind her head. Elyx knew what the She Phoenix was getting at, and for once, he had to agree with her. This client did not seem to be thinking things too clearly, to hire a Bounty Hunter was one thing, but they were human as well, they weren’t perfect agents. In response to what Ignite mentioned, the boy nodded his head in agreement, but did not care to whine about it. It was a job, and the weird item was still something that he may want. They were supposed to be Bounty Hunters, so tracking people down was supposed to be a specialty, so it was not only a job that they took, but it was also their pride. The both of them were just going to have to deal with it. Ignite looked around for the client, Elyx was sort of staring into space as he walking, thinking these thoughts. The boy then snapped out of it when he felt a magic flow around him. It was not his, and it was not Ignites. Something about it was strong, it was definitely stronger than Allisons magic last time he had met her. The violinist looked around, and he then saw something in the distance.

The red-haired girl, energetic and happy as ever, running towards him with a smile. Calling his name out, it was so sudden that when she jumped and hugged him, his body was actually beginning to stumble back. At first, the first reaction was to hug her back, she was all right and there for him. His second reaction was regaining his balance, he did not care to his head against the rock. Elyx felt his heel hit the ground, in which he pushed to jump back onto his feet. Once he got himself together again, he wrapped his arms around Allison gently, not the rather tight way she had a hold on him. Allison, it's nice to see you! I came for a visit to see you. I was wondering if you needed anything before I head off for a job I have obtained. Elyx explained as he looked at the little girl below him, then placed his own grin on his face. It was a warm grin, nothing like the little girls usual perky smile on her face. To at least see her again, that made his day. Something about this girl made him smile, the optimistic mood she always had with her, from the job on the ship and even now. He let go of the girl before he tilted his head to the side with curiousity. Do you want to see the job? I have the paper with me.

Allison beamed happily at Elyx-- he seemed delighted to see her, which was nice. Remembering that she had a gift for him, to celebrate their last job, the girl was just opening her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by the brown haired boy. "It's nice to see you too!" she said happily, and then was just about to say something when the boy told her that he had been searching for her. Blinking, Allison shrugged mentally and listened, smiling as Elyx explained that he had decided to come visit before a job. The redhead was once again about to ask what the job was when she realized that he had asked her if she needed help with anything! Well, Allison honestly could use help with practically everything... like finding Lel Therine, finding the missing job slip, and finding... there was something else she had to look for. Perhaps it had been a someone? Once again shrugging, Allison answered with a cheerful tone, "I don't really need help with anything, since it will all happen eventually!"

As Elyx offered to let her see the job, Allison immediately nodded. The girl had one of her own which she should have been getting to at the very moment, but the red haired mage had lost Lel and therefore the mission request. Glancing up at Elyx, Allison blinked and tilted her head to the side faintly before saying slowly, "I think..." and then pausing. She blinked once again before leaning over to pick up the fallen gift bag, holding it out to Elyx just as she finished the thought. "I think we have the same job, Elyx-san!" Immediately afterwards Allison beamed brightly and then leaped towards Ignite, going for another full glomp on the fiery young woman. Lel Therine was missing, but hopefully they would manage to find her before the job officially began.

And wait... "Ohh, then man!" Allison exclaimed abruptly. That was the third thing-- or rather, person, she had been searching for. The job description had been rather vague about his whereabouts, but the girl had been confident that after wandering around for a long while, they would eventually come upon him. Perhaps. The red haired mage turned back to Elyx and gave him a bright, cheerful smile. "The gift is to celebrate our previous mission! It's to remind you to face your fear-- I'm sure that eventually it might disappear close to completely!" the girl took a short breath and then bounced back over to Elyx and Ignite. "So, Elyx-san, Ignite-san... can we look for the two of them?" she forgot that she hadn't specified that Lel was also missing-- and that the girl had decided not to take up their time by asking for help.

Ignite stumbled backwards as well when Allison went for her hug attack against the She Phoenix, who caught her in her arms and laughed as well. The Violinist smiled as they two of them embraced in a hug, there were no tensions or reasons to hate. This was the sort of image that Elyx wanted to see in everyone, but he knew and kept Kakuma's words to heart. Nobody is innocent, those words damaged the way he saw people nowadays. Allison became an exception to that for the most part, though the murders that she probably commits lowers her innocence. Still though, she has not made an attempt to hurt the boy in any sort of way, and with his new healing ability, he would be able to survive any onslaught. Hopefully she would not try to kill him if he were in pain, he was able to help himself, and would rather not be forced to conceal every single wound that he had away from her. The way she was though, when Elyx said for her to only change for the better, but if not, to not change at all, that gave him a little bit of hope that she would not murder him. Elyx did not want to be put out of his misery, not anymore at least.

We're on the same job? Well what do you know? The boy said with a smiled as he playfully ruffled the redheads hair, then placed his hands back in his pockets. Before, he would have been concerned for her safety and tried to convince her to stay. Two things were stopping him from doing that however. The first was the fact that she is a curious child, she barely listens to such boring orders, and she will follow just about any other order than the ones she are told to do. The other reason was her magic and combat skills in general, she was an ace in melee combat, a regular sword contained more power than Elyx with his dual-blades. Or used to at least, until Elyx learned a spell that allowed Wind to pump through his veins and make him as stealthy and quick as a ninja. With his awareness increased, it would be almost impossible for him to be caught by a sword. The boy continued to listen to Allison, only to receive a little trinket from her. Another necklace, this one looked rather similar to his, wow, she went and did that for him, yet he didn't think to buy anything for her? Allison was truly a nice person, and Elyx was just awful.

This is awesome! I love it! The boy announced as he wrapped the chain around his neck with a smile on his face. Another necklace for him to wear, it looked so amazing on him, it made him feel like the ultimate wizard with the other necklace. They were sort of like twin necklaces, one for the both to share. Elyx thought bout maybe doing that for fun, but not with these necklaces. Instead, he decided to address the next topic that the little girl brought up. The two of them? Huh? If you mean the cat of yours, sure! I'd love to, where do you think you lost it last?

Allison held Ignite tightly, thankful that the companion had not attempted to dodge.  She was just so happy to see the two of them again, as well as incredibly grateful that they were also assigned to this misson!  After a few more minutes of hugging, the red haired girl let go with a bit of reluctance, turning back to Elyx.  The young man truly did seem to be a lot more cheerful and overall happy than he had been during the mission earlier; perhaps it was because they were away from the water, but then again it had been quite tiresome too.  Thankfully, Elyx seemed to be excited for this job.  Or rather, he wasn't excited... Allison couldn't quite think of the correct word for it, so she simply paused her musing and smiled up at the boy, who certainly did seem relaxed.  Abruptly her hair was ruffled as he replied with a little bit of humor, and Allison smiled brightly as she answered, "Yep!  It's really lucky!"

And then, Elyx told her that he loved her gift, and even put it on at that moment!  Allison beamed with pride, straining up onto her tiptoes to see the boy place it carefully around his neck, the pendant hanging down next to the little silver crown.  "They look great!" she commented happily, the words bubbling out as she bounced in place.  Allison's eyes sparkled as the boy agreed to help her find Lel Therine-- hopefully, he wouldn't regret the decision.  Snatching up Ignite and Elyx's hands, the mage dashed out the doors, trusting that they would open automatically due to the lacrima motion sensors-- and thankfully, they did!  Upon reaching the outside, Allison glanced around for a few seconds before leaping off the sidewalk and rushing across the road.  She didn't exactly have an answer for Elyx's last question, but knew that Lel could often be found hanging around sunny, warm places: a park, someone's backyard... anywhere, to be honest.

Ah, but she had never given the boy a reply!  "Elyx-san, Ignite-san... I have absolutely no clue where Lel Therine is!  Well, she might be some place with lots of light, where it's warm... we have a fireplace at our house, and Lel will lie there all day."  But there were more than a dozen places in the area which were warm and full of sunlight.  Unfortunately, Allison simply couldn't think of a way to narrow the search down, and she glanced anxiously around, hoping that her surroundings might give a clue.  Perhaps the red haired girl's companions would come up with some ideas as well-- after all, Allison couldn't go on a mission without Lel by her side!  Dashing around randomly, Allison wondered if she would find the feline in time to be able to go on the mission with Elyx and Ignite.  After all, they could probably handle it themselves in the case where she was unable to accompany them... but, the female mage really wanted to! Lel Therine did have a way of finding Allison, however... so the girl wasn't completely worried.

Even Ignite was being pulled out by this girl! The She Phoenix was almost a whole rank stronger than Elyx in physical power, yet this little girl was able to drag her out easily! Allison never ceased to amaze, and she most certainly did amaze him in many ways. There was a moment in which he felt like he should just expect everything from her. The luck she had was enough to shut down a casino. It was just simply a rule in this life, the adorable and sweet ones get all of the luck... And Ignite. He let out a sigh as he and the She-Phoenix were both being pulled upon until she suddenly stopped, and the both of them ended up ditzing a little bit with dizzy eyes. Once they wobbled for a little bit, they were able to see one full image again and little to what Allison said. She said that Lel likes places with light and warmth. Well, there was the fact that every house probably provided just that, the lacrimas on the street, and maybe even a few people with lighters. The cat seemed to like things that are light, and what light produces. Ignite was the perfect key to this problem, hopefully the cat would be near when Elyx had the She Phoenix carry it out. He turned his head around, pointed a finger, and Ignite nodded, fully understanding what she needed to do.

Phoenix Fire: Rising Pillar! Ignite exclaimed as she placed both of her hands into the air, her palms flat, parallel with the sky. A cylinder of fire the appeared, shooting itself into the air high enough for the people of Clover Town to see. Hopefully the cat would not be afraid of fire, but be curious to follow the light until it reached it's destination, where the three of them were standing. Elyx looked over to Allison, a small command given to here, but he said it softly since she was a child. Just stay right here with us, your pet should hopefully return... Unless it doesn't like fire. The boy said, trying to be honest with her in the easiest sort of way. It would be hard to explain to her that the cat ran farther away because of the fire pillar. It caught the attention of the people, but since it was not being used to carry out an attack, they were not running for their lives. That didn't stop them from staring though. The boy looking upwards to see if the cat was coming around, but only Allison could confirm the cats look. This was because she was the owner, she could recognize her cat by its shadow. Elyx barely saw the cat, he would need to see a detailed cat in order to confirm if it was hers or not.

Allison was just about to search around a little bit more when Elyx glanced at Ignite, holding out a hand with only a single finger extended. Blinking at the strange sight, the red haired girl was just about to ask exactly what was going on when Ignite nodded and called out loudly... something about fire? Tilting her head slightly to her left, Allison watched as Ignite held up her hands-- as though they were pushing against the a roof or ceiling. Jumping up herself, Allison lifted her hands to mimic Ignite's position, holding them flat until she realized that her height exponentially less than the fiery young woman's. Not giving up however, Allison strained up onto her tip toes again and stretched her hands as far as they could possibly go-- and promptly fell over onto her face, landing on the pavement with a bit of an oomph. However, her attention was immediately caught by the bright, flaming mass which formed right above Ignite's hands. It seemed to resemble an arrow or such, besides the fact that it had no point nor fletchings, and Allison simply stared, mesmerized. After a few moments, Elyx spoke up, glancing over at the red haired girl and issuing a soft command to remain in place.

Not even hearing his words, Allison blinked up at the flaming pillar. Lel Therine was sure to spot it, but whether she would return to the group was something completely unrelated. Allison may have had a poor sense of direction, but Lel did not, and could probably have found her way back without the aid of Elyx and Ignite. Nonetheless, perhaps the reminder that their job should have begun a while ago was necessary and could cause the feline to return to her companion. Lel was a very practical creature, after all. Allison stared at the light display herself, blinking and blinking and blinking... completely distracted. A few minutes later, a rose-colored cat sprang from the bushes, tackling Allison to the ground before prodding at her with a slightly golden paw. Alli, you didn't have to go so far as to bother Elyx and Ignite to assist you in searching for me, the cat scolded across their mind link.

With wide eyes, Allison replied out loud, "They're coming with us for the job! But yes, thank you so much, Elyx-san, Ignite-san! I don't think Lel would have come back for a while if it weren't for your help..." The red haired girl didn't typically glare, but she did here. Lel Therine had been simply being obstinate, especially after Allison and sprang out of bed with so much energy after being roused by the feline with force. After scooping her friend up and securely arranging the cat in her arms, Allison addressed Elyx and Ignite again with a bright smile. "So, do you know where we're going?"

The cat returned, though it did seem to have something on it’s mind as it looked towards Allison. Something about it’s facial expression seemed to seem a little edgy, but it seemed to be nothing to worry about as the cat made it’s way over to the girl, who welcomed the cat back with open arms. The boy and the Phoenix smiled at the sight, it was touching to see what they have done bringing a girl back to her companion. Ignite’s pillar of fire began to die down since she was no long focusing on it, the fire lowering from the top before its spiral began to stop spinning slowly. Finally, the flames were engulfed by the air around it, and it soon disappeared into nothing. The boy looked at the two of them, so happy together. Allisom gave Elyx and Ignite a thanks for the cat being rescued before it could even get into any sort of trouble.Anytime Allison, your cat looks so cute! Can I hold it, please? The She Phoenix asked with hope in her voice. Elyx had a shade covering his eyes and a sweatdrop go down his head as he witness this. The cat has gotten into plenty of trouble as it did. He would prefer for Ignite to not mess with a cat, does she even know how to hold one? But knowing Allison, she would probably not mind since she likes to make everyone happy. That was a weak spot for someone to take advantage of if she let them, maybe he could teach her about that.

Elyx felt a little bit hungry for a light snack, so he lowered his right arm to loosen the hold that the knapsack had on his shoulders. He let the right strap slide right off, then the left by lowering his left arm. He then shoved his hand into the bag and pulled out a chocolate bar. Before he could offer Allison the bar, she asked him about where they were going. That would be a tough question for him to answer, which was why he was glad that in the end, he would not have to answer it. Instead, an oddly-clothed man walked up to the lot of them. He had a lot of beige clothing, his jacket buttoned up to his neck, not a single one left out. A Fedora was placed on his head with a little rope strap loosely swinging down. Darker beige long pants were covering his legs. Finally, a black pair of boots were at the bottom. A small grin was on his face.Hello there, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but would you so happen to be the wizards I sent the request about? If you don’t know what I mean, my question is answered. The man asked.

(OOC: His code is #00ffff ^^)

Allison blinked in surprise as Ignite asked whether she could hold Lel. Shrugging and turning to the pink feline, who was sitting quite contentedly in her arms, the red haired mage decided that it didn't matter nonetheless, and carefully deposited the cat into the fiery young woman's arms. "Be careful, Ignite! Lel Therine is a very scary cat sometimes!" The girl smiled, and ignored Lel's protests through their mind link. Lel, you know, Ignite is giving you a compliment! She thinks you're cute, and you really are! the female mage replied in a similar fashion. Turning towards Elyx since she trusted perfectly in Ignite's ability to handle Lel, the redhead asked once again with a tilt of her head, "So... where is the adventurer whom we have to protect-- ?" Just as she was inquiring as to the man or woman's whereabouts, she noticed that Elyx seemed to be retrieving something from the bag which was slung over his shoulders. He... was that chocolate? Inadvertently, the girl's mouth began to water as she stared at the dark brown slab.

Unfortunately, the beginnings of her attempt to beg for the sweet were interrupted by the entrance of a man who seemed to have walked straight out of a clothes catalog for explorers. His outfit was typical to that of an adventurer, and Allison could only blink as the man strode up confidently, a thick string swinging tantalizingly from his hat. The red haired girl had a mind akin to that of a feline and canine, and her eyes automatically locked on the slightly moving object-- she had to remind herself that this was a complete stranger. Her mind however came up with a new solution: become best friends with the stranger, and then she could play with his hat! Just as the mage was about to put her plan into action, the odd little man grinned with a slightly crooked smile and asked something about whether they were wizards he had requested. ... Wizards? Allison frowned and then shrugged, tugging on Elyx's sleeve before answering the man. "Yes, we're wizards! We can help you with whatever you need!" she then pointed to the brown haired boy and added with a cheerful smile, "He knows everything, so you should ask him. Elyx-san is my partner for today too!"

Then with that phrase hanging in the air, the girl went for another full glomp, thinking of exactly how lucky she was to be partnered with the boy once again. He was honestly one of the nicest people she had ever met-- not that anyone was ever mean, but Elyx was just always so generous and... but wait! Leaping away from the boy, Allison pointed between his eyes, accompanied by a stern look. "Elyx-san! How could you be mean to Maddy and the girls? They love you!"

The reactions of everyone after that were completely opposite. Elyx ended up with a sweatdrop covering the back of his head, a small shade covering his eyes, but not wiping them out from view completely... Quite yet. Ignite's eyes beamed as she was given permission to hold Allison's cat, Lel. She slowly took steps, making them delicate as she slowly flattened out her feet rather than simply slamming them down to the ground as usual. Once her feet met with Lel, she bent down onto her knees and began to scratch behind the cats ears. From there, she began to pet the cat, hoping to gain a little bit of trust between the both of them. The man with the fedora simply looked at the girl with a smile on her face, then looked back to Elyx with his mouth forming the small circle it did. Elyx was the first to start things off in this chat. Erm... Allison? The boy started, trying to figure out the best way to start this. Those friends did not leave him alone for hours, they didn't leave him alone, they would eventually try to rip him to pieces. Explaining that to the little girl... That was a tall task. He took a deep breath and made an attempt to keep the dangerous information away from her. I... I don't want to talk about it really. Let's just say... The way they see you as a friend is not the way they see me as a... "Friend."

With that, he then looked over to the man, trying to cover up much of his embarrassment. Fortunately for the violinist, the man was actually quite polite as he held out a hand for Elyx to shake. The boy shook it with respect, locking the webs before they released, then the man began this conversation. Hello there, so you are the one taking care of her? Do you plan to bring her along? That would not be the... Smartest... of ideas. The man thought as he arched his back forward with a smile to the girl. Blue eyes then shifted towards Elyx, waiting for an answer. The Violinist let out a smile, he remembered when he used to think that Allison was not capable of fighting for herself. That was a mistake on his part, it was not easy for anyone to assume that she was a wizard with just a glance. Oh, trust me, she is more than capable of fighting. She is as powerful as she is adorable. Elyx said with a smile as he patted the little girls head with a smile. The man looked up to the boy with curiousity, but not doubt. After a few seconds of processing what the boy said, he let out a smile and put his back up. All right, we are going to be going to the Castle in the Haunted Village. I am sure as you know of my treasure map for The Dancing Lady. My reason for looking for me first though... Is because I want to come, and I need you to protect me.

(OOC: I'm sorry! 3: I wasn't online today for long and won't be almost at all tomorrow.)

Allison's gaze immediately locked onto the boy as he said her name in a bit of a hesitant way. The red haired girl immediately leaped onto him, staring fiercely into the boy's eyes. "Yes, Elyx-san? Do you have an explanation for yourself? They were really hurt... and... I was going to heal them, but I promised to ask what went wrong! And... wait, what do you mean?!?" The girl was undeterred by the brown haired mage's protests and immediately pounced on him again. "Elyx-san! Of course they don't want to be friends like I am with you! They want to marry you and have you teach them how to be great mages!" The girl finished her sentence, eyes blazing, before she blinked and relaxed-- immediately it was as though the words had never toppled out of her mouth. But all of a sudden, the pink katana which had always been strapped to Allison's waist was a lot more conspicuous... as well were the many things she could do with it.

Turning to the explorer, the girl beamed brightly and held out her hand with a smile. "Elyx-san is a very intelligent person! He will always make the best decisions, so don't worry!" Allison was completely confident in her companion's skills, and reached out to grab his hand, not listening to the rest of the conversation between the man and the boy. The last thing she heard was something about protecting the man, and Allison-- wait, what? The girl jumped on the man, smiling cheerfully. "Of course we will protect you! Just stay right here next to us, and everything will be fine! Now, uh, where are we going? Elyx-san!" Allison ran back to the mage's side, half glomping him from that direction. The brown haired boy probably new where they were going.

A few seconds later, Allison went aaaah, since she remembered ignoring a large part of the remaining conversation. But had it been the Haunting Village? That seemed like the right place for mysterious artifacts to be. Or, perhaps, it had been the Ancient Ruins...? After all, the man did resemble some of the explorers she had seen out there over a year ago, with his outfit consisting of beige and tan, with the string hanging down from his hat. Blinking once again at the little piece of rope, Allison tried not to become distracted-- but she was immediately transfixed and couldn't tear her eyes away. Truly, the redhead seemed to be a member of the feline family herself. The mage reached out slowly, about to pounce, when she remembered something about a castle, being said in their speech. Coming out of her reverie, Allison beamed at everyone else in the group before bounding away, headed in the direction of... the castle? Well, the direction which she thought it was located towards, at least.

(( Ah! It's fine, Elyx ~ ))

I can teach them to be mages, but marry me? Love is not something that you just give nor can it be faked. Elyx explained with his usual grin turning neutral. She was beginning to press some key triggers. It's not like she was doing it on purpose, she didn't know Adrelissa and how she got murdered in front of him. How he had to leave her for dead if he wanted to get out of there as well, since he was in almost no better of a state that she was in. He crossed his arms over each other when Allison said that she had a promise to find out what was wrong, in which Elyx had a response all right. I just don't want to get involved with love. It's too dangerous, I prefer to be free to do what I want without feeling slowed down. He was not sure if he was able to believe himself on that one. After all, it was not like Adrelissa slowed him down when he was dating her. Then again, he was not a true mage back then, barely a wizard to start off with. He then put on a smile and patted Allisons head and closed his eyes. Besides, it's not like I could ever make someone happy. The boy finished before he then looked over the other subject at hand, one that would actually help this man out.

Allison was able to beat him to the punch on this one, causing Elyx and Ignite to both chuckle silently to themselves as she grabbed the violinist's hand. Elyx knowing everything? But you shouldn't think of him so highly now Allison, you might as well try to sell his brain for a box of Pocky sticks. The She-Phoenix responded as she curled her right hand to her mouth and laughed a little bit. Elyx looked at her with his eyes half-closed, but not even making a move towards her, it was not worth it right now. He decided to not give her more attention before the little girl accepted the request abruptly, then asked him about where they were going. The violinist used his available hand to ball up into a fist, then placed that fist on his cheek as he began to think. The Haunted Village holding a Castle? Would that even be possible? The both shrugged before making a half confident reply. Well sir, it seems you have told us that the castle is located in the Haunted Village. Can you be sure that it is located there? The boy asked the man, who took his sweet time to think about his answer as well. The silence rang in the air since many others were talking. Finally, the man made a reply. I am 60% sure of it. The man answered... Not really the most confident of replies. Elyx turned to the group for a few seconds. This was their only lead. Well everyone, it seems we'll have to go then.

Allison blinked at Elyx's response, beaming when he said that he could teach them how to be mages. She completely ignored the second part-- after all, Allison didn't really like the idea of love and marriage either, but she had been advocating on behalf of her hurt acquaintances and didn't want to be a bad friend. Elyx was right that love was dangerous... far too dangerous, it made people think irrationally! Most creatures that Allison met were surprised by the girl's attitude towards love and how it affected people, but she was glad that if the brown haired boy ever found out, he wouldn't seem to mind. The mage gave him a hug at that moment. "Don't worry Elyx, they're dreaming. Dreams aren't a bad thing to have, but you can't crush them. You just have to... ease them away!" The red haired girl smiled brightly at her companion-- once again, Allison typically didn't assume such a thoughtful stance, but love was a touchy subject with her as well. And the mage truly hated it when she saw a smile fall off of someone's face.

And then, the boy said something about not being able to make another happy, to which Allison immediately sparked up, reaching up to shake the boy by the shoulders. "Nuh-uh! You're wrong! You make me happy, you know!" she stopped shaking the boy and beamed at him before becoming distracted once again by the little rope hanging from the man's hat. A few minutes later, she was brought back to the real world after hearing Ignite say something to make fun of Elyx, to which Allison shook her head vehemently. He was a very intelligent mage, and even though Ignite had of course meant it only in jest, Allison felt that Elyx had some self-esteem issues right now, and the girl wanted to make sure that the mage knew he was valuable and had a reason for being here in the world.

A few minutes later, the brown haired boy began to question the mage again, and Allison zoned out until she heard the boy announce loudly that they were going to go now. Go where? The Haunted Village? Alyia had been there for a job recently, she knew-- but where exactly was this village? The man hadn't seemed to be overly confident about the treasure being located there-- or had he been uncertain about something else? Dangit, Allison really should have been paying attention! Shrugging to herself since the past was the past, the red haired girl bounced around the group, half skipping and half jumping. "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" was all that she said. As soon as Elyx or the man moved, she would react and simply follow them-- Allison truly had no clue of their destination or the path to take.

Elyx once again began to pat the redhead once again, a his grin brightening as she once again began to give him advice, then followed it up with a hug. She was a little softer with the tone of her voice now, as opposed to the snappy attitude that she gave to him earlier. It seemed that Allison was able to comprehend what he meant, and once again, the words of a 14 year old were more powerful that of an 18 year old. The Violinist listened to her mentioning him just easing away dreams, not shattering them. He tilted his head to the side, maybe if they were not going to try to take everything he owned in his knapsack - which by his memory, was his favorite snacks of chocolate bars, 10 bottles of water, and a Sorcerer's Magazine - then maybe he would just try to do that. The thing about this is that he did not like to be direct, he was scared to tell some people the truth because they might end up with hurt feelings. It was like he said before, love was a dangerous thing, rejection would not be easy to deal with. The Violinist planned to ask Allison on how he might be able to do that, but for now, the group had other matters to deal with the Haunted Village. The boy then heard Allison reply to his comment, and he laughed a little bit to himself, Allison was still so innocent. That was not what he meant, but he was not going to look for reasons to be unhappy. Instead, he hugged the little redhead gently, resting his chin on her shoulder. You're right, thank you Allison.

With that, the boy got up to notice Ignite right in front of them. She had a smile on her face, then put up a thumbs up towards the boy. In response, Elyx smiled back, no matter how badly they may be messing with each other, they were always friends and allies. Neither of them meant to hurt each other. All right! We're exiting Clover Town! Sir, tell us what The Dancing Lady does as we travel. Elyx said as he began to lead the group out of the town and onto the Meadows. Based on the map, the lot of them should be able to get to the Haunted Village in 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes passes by, they would be at the entrance. The only landform was the meadows, though it does tend to feel a little bit darker, and the sun never shines there. For some reason, it is always the moon that was shining. The man tilted his fedora to the side before answering. The Dancing Lady is a statue that has a special effect. It allows the one who finds it when an Eclipse is happening one wish. I need that wish for reasons that I do not want to explain as of right now. The client said as he tried to hollow out his eyes to hide his reasons. The boy was unable to use Wind Lerale Eye on him, he was good at keeping secrets for sure. Eventually, he gave up, then looked towards Allison, wanting to see if she were okay. Hey Allison, do you want anything? I have some water and chocolate bars if you would like. The boy offered as she began to slip the knapsack off of his back.

(( Aiieee! Sorry for the late post! All this morning for 4 hours I had volleyball practice for the varsity team, and then since today was my birthday, my friends glomped me and dragged me... everywhere... and then my family insisted on giving me cake, and we're going out to dinner tonight so I can't post then. Sorry Elyx! T^T ))

Allison beamed at Elyx, cheerfully replying, "You're welcome! Although, what did I do? Anyways, let's go!" The group set off shortly afterwards, Elyx saying something about them leaving Clover Town and requesting that the man explain about... the Dancing Girl? Blinking in confusion, the red haired mage simply shrugged and tried her best to pay attention-- she hadn't been doing so before, and therefore Allison was a bit lost at the moment. In fact, she should probably apologize for her actions! Immediately jumping into action and stopping the crew in the middle of the road, Allison bowed low, her hands tucked in front of her. "Ahh! I'm sorry for not paying attention, Elyx-san, Ignite-san, Explorer-san! Your hat is really distracting!" Then, only a few moments later she continued to bounce around the group, moving out of the way so that they could continue.

Apparently the Dancing Girl, whatever that was-- oh, it was a statue! Allison smiled, everything making much more sense now, and inadvertently ceased to pay attention to the last few phrases the man said. After he had stopped talking, the redhead promptly realized her mistake and decided that she honestly did need to pay better attention... only, she had been focusing her hardest, so why hadn't she heard anything? The girl tilted her head slowly to her left and opened her mouth to ask if the client could reiterate what had been said, when her brown haired companion inquired as to if Allison desired anything. "Ah! I love chocolate and water! Only, I'm not hungry or thirsty, so you should eat it, Elyx-san! Or Ignite-san! Do you want some, Ignite-san? Elyx-san, Ignite-san might want some! I also might die if I eat chocolate!" The girl at first addressed Elyx, and then began to switch rapidly between the two, finally directing her last phrase to the entire group. Being part demon dog, Allison had inherited the canine trait, or rather, animal trait, of being allergic to chocolate. She had found this out by accident and miraculously remembered it. But wait, had that been chocolate or strawberries? "Ah, actually could I have some chocolate? Elyx-san, you should eat it if you want, though!" A test would decide which one the mage was allergic to-- chocolate or strawberries.

The girl bounced around, trying to remember exactly when she had last eaten either. After all, Alyia absolutely adored anything which was chocolate-- and so perhaps she had eaten ice cream with her awhile ago? And then again, with Tane and Anastasia; maybe the cheesecake had been drizzled over with strawberry sauce? The girl's memories were still a bit cloudy from the time before her encounter with Alyia recently, and it was extremely fortunate that she could recall anything at all.

The man opened his eyes when Allison mentioned his hat being distracting. Elyx laughed a little bit, he had forgotten that people around Allison's age don't have much of an attention span. Then again, did he know her true age? Looks don't tell the full story sometimes, Elyx should be the one to realize that. After a few seconds of processing what Allison said and how he should react, the man took off his hat before walking over to the little girl. With a smile on his face, he placed his hat on her head, which ended up being a loose fit. He had to tilt the fedora back in order for the girls face to be revealed. Elyx laughed a little, they were all spoiling her, how nice it must have been a child once again. Here you go then. If you like it that much then, maybe I could buy you another one. The man said as he patted the little girls hat. From there, he looked back to Elyx as if he needed permission to be doing so. Going along with it, the violinist nodded his head and grinned. The man went back up from his original state and looked to Elyx. The boy then took his turn when Allison began to explain that he should be giving the chocolate to Ignite, maybe because she wanted some. The boy turned over to Ignite, a bit of doubt when he did. I give plenty to Ignite, you can trust me on that. Elyx explained, noticng that Ignite was now eying his knapsack, right where the chocolate bars. The next statement confirmed her intentions. Hey Elyx, you wanna give me some of those chocolate bars? You don't want to make me unhappy would you? The She-Phoenix said as she walked over to him. Elyx sighed, knowing that he had been taken advantage of. Not him, but Allison, and Elyx knew that if he did not give the She-Phoenix a chocolate bar, Allison would throw a tantrum again.

As they all continued to travel, Elyx noticed that the sun was beginning to shine less. Just recently, it was shining as bright as ever. The closer they got towards their final destination, the more that the sun will begin to die down. The mystery was not the sun, but the fact that the moon somehow always shined on the Haunted Village. They did not have to go through some sort of random forest or anything like that this time. This time, they just simply found an entrance to the village, guarded by a drawbridge that was let down, and moat. Nice to know that the village is creepy as ever, but yet some people were able to make successful lives inside, so hopefully they would be able to successfully get through the village and find the castle. Suddenly, Allison began to ask for the chocolate, in which she said it might have killed her, but now she might have wanted some. The boy tilted his head to the side and crossed his arms, debating on whether or not he should be giving her the treat. After a few seconds of thinking, he remembered that he had Calm Meadows to help him out if the little girl was choking. The boy pulled out a bottle of water from his knapsack by lifting his arm over his shoulder and reaching in. Then the chocolate bar followed up with his other arm. The boy placed the chocolate bars in the hands of the girl, freeing his hands so that he could summon his Violin when it was ready. He kept a leveled head though when he spoke, and they were at the edge of town now. Enjoy Allison! Elyx said as he began to dig through his knapsack for a chocolate bar of his own.

(OOC: It's all right! I wanted to say happy birthday to you as well xD. See you soon, and Happy Birthday!)

(( Ah, thank you! :) ))

The red haired mage at first didn't react as the man strode over to her, taking off his hat and carefully arranging it on her head. Allison glanced up and was only able to see the brim of the tan accessory-- fortunately, the explorer seemed to sense this and tilted the offending piece of fabric back so that her vision was not overly impaired. The man then commented on her infatuation with the hat and its dangling piece of rope, saying that he could buy her another-- and of course, Allison completely freaked out. "Noo! Don't do that-- here, you can have yours back! I promise I won't look at it anymore! Don't buy me a new one! I have plenty of money! I mean, unless it makes you happy to buy things for other people! But... don't you want to buy a new hat for yourself? I'll buy you one too, when we get back!" And with that, Allison beamed and pulled the hat off of her head, cheerfully smiling at the man before plopping it back onto his scalp, turning away afterwards to also beam at Elyx and Ignite. "Thank you all so much for being so generous! And I'm sure it makes you happy to be nice to other people! I want you to be happy too!" After the mage had spouted off that seemingly random phrase, the pink feline padding at Allison's side nearly sweat dropped. Lel Therine reared up on her hind legs and snared the edge of Allison's long pink tunic with her right paw's claw. Allison, calm down. They're quite perfectly happy, I'm sure.

The girl didn't seem to notice and instead scooped up the cat before continuing on-- the group was nearing closer and closer to the Haunted Village. Apparently the hours were passing by quite rapidly, for Allison reflected upon the fact that the daylight was already fading away. Nonetheless, her spirits were not dampened by the swiftly disappearing light of the sun; Allison's smile grew wider, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. The Haunting Village was so... interesting! It had a drawbridge and everything, just like one of those castles from a fairy tale! Blinking at the chocolate which Elyx had offered in response to her questions and babbling, the red haired girl beamed at the boy and accepted the candy bar. "Thanks, Elyx-san!" she said. The girl watched as her companion rummaged through the backpack, most likely searching for another chocolate bar. Remembering that he had said there were more, and there was apparently not a need to share, Allison unwrapped the chocolate and immediately took as many bites as she could possibly fit into her mouth, swallowing and--

Fainting, her skin unnaturally pale.

The man had a curious face as his hat was rejected, no longer able to understand what the little girl wanted. Instead of trying to figure it out, he took that hat back, brushed it off a little bit with his hand, then placed it back onto his head. With that, he looked like the same weirdo they met about 30 minutes ago. Elyx took a moment to watch Allison as she was ready to take a bite of chocolate. On the left hand, the ball of light shattered to pieces of illusion like light. They swarmed all around within a 2 foot radius to form a shape of the instrument. It was his odd looking instrument, the Lerale Prototype: Excel Violinin. The giant Violin has formed, and Elyx was ready to play. In his other hand, the pieces of light began to form into his Violin Bow, the tool he needed in order to actually play his music, but more importantly, cast out his Lerale spells. The boy locked his place as he then shifted his point of his feet to the ground, which surprisingly kept them in place. He then began to play the soft piece, the wind around him slowly taking course as he did this, it spun heavily, but not too much considering this spell is a D rank spell. His eyes began to start this transformation off by shifting from the light brown color of his natural eyes to the sweetest of green, light yet bright green. In those eyes were a few speckles of white spinning around like they were dancing. It was most certainly enjoyable for him. His clothing changed as well, for a brief moment, his clothing faded away, leaving him in his boxers, but light shown to prevent anyone from seeing this change. The boy’s jeans were replaced by long black pants that were tucked inside of his new brown fur boots. On the top half of his body was a green heavy jacket, a green hood over his hear, a few brown spikes of his hair showing, but they were all flattened against his forehead. A long wooden staff with a light blue orb was placed in his hands as well, this item being the staff that allowed him to heal those in pain. He had yet to name the item yet, but when he came up with a name, that is the legitimate name, that is going to be the official name for it. This was Wind Lerale Calm Meadows. This was the healer form of Lerales.

The boy looked at Allison, watching the chocolate go into her mouth. The hood over his head made things a little bit hot, but that was the least of concerns as of right now. What he should be paying more attention to was either the detail that Allison said about chocolate killing her, and what that would actually mean, or her health if that was the truth. What made things extreme was the amount of chocolate that she was putting into her mouth. After a few chews, her position seemed a bit off. Her movement looked a bit sloppy, and her eyes were beginning to drift off. Allison!? Elyx exclaimed with worry as he zipped over to her as fast as a D rank spell would let him. He then placed his hand on her forehead before shooting his eyes wide open. Her forehead was hot, there was a reaction in her body that was not correct. Hang in there Allison! I'll heal you! The boy announced with a bite of desperation in his voice. He could not let her thump onto the ground. He refused to believe she was dead, doing his best to heal her the best he could. Placing the girl on her back, he began to place his hands over head and her stomach, green light shining in between. The boy was injecting light medicine into her bloodstream, hopefully it would do something... Hopefully...

(OOC: You're welcome! I was hoping to say it in the Cbox, but, well, here we are :3)

(( Ah! Sorry for the late response again, just so you know I'm not going to be on here for over 3/4 of the day starting from now on and for this week. And a lot of next month. Because of volleyball, and... school... *cough* they're making us start earlier this year *cough* anyways, here's the post! ))

Before she had eaten any chocolate and her health had been affected, Allison was watching Elyx with enormously wide eyes. The boy seemed to be using levitation magic or such to control dozens of spinning shards of light-- and it was a beautiful sight to behold. The mass of broken light swirled together around the brown haired mage, and Allison simply blinked; she was transfixed by the bright movements and finally managed to realize that the substance had formed a particular object-- a violin. The redheaded female was not particularly interested in music, and she had only known a bit from observing others. Nonetheless, the mage could also recall that Elyx had been playing a violin the last time she had seen him, despite the fact that this brilliant display had not occurred before he had begun to play. In fact, where had that violin he had used on the ship come from? Shrugging off any nagging feelings, Allison leaned in a little bit closer, realizing another interesting fact-- the instrument didn't seem to be the same as any other she had previously seen. It was silvery and surprisingly large, but... also, there wasn't a bow. Blinking in confusion, the girl leaned back and tilted her head slightly to her left side before realizing that in Elyx's right hand, the remaining shards had formed the thin, slightly curved shaft of a bow. Allison continued to watch with fascination as her companion's appearance also began to change-- but it was quite slight, and all she could see was the bright green of his eyes. The red haired girl absentmindedly wondered whether there had always been a breeze around here, but she soon brushed it off as simply increasing in power over the last few hours, not becoming noteworthy until now. And Allison continued to watch the young mage.

The girl continued to blink at Elyx before realizing that his attire had also shifted to something... well, Allison gave up on thinking too hard about it, turning back to the chocolate which had been gifted to her moments before. And then, of course, the red haired girl fainted, which was a wonderful experience; Allison had possessed this feeling that eating chocolate could be harmful, but it had been delicious while she wasn't half-dead. Just as the female mage was nearly completely convinced that she was going to be able to wander around the world as a ghost, a hand was placed on her forehead, and the girl stirred a bit. Was that a voice she heard? Maybe the girl hadn't managed to become a wandering spirit after all... well, that was too bad! Now she couldn't complete her mission before going to the Afterlife, but at least-- ? Allison's train of thought was cut off as she suddenly felt a warm feeling, spreading slowly throughout her body. Blinking and managing to open her eyes, the red haired girl smiled cheerfully at Elyx, who seemed to be hovering over her. Bouncing up, she wobbled around slightly before beaming at the brown haired wizard and turning to the rest of the crew. "Ah! Sorry about that-- well, let's go!"

Come on... Wake up dang it! The boy exclaimed as he tried to exert more magic power, but his spell was refusing to let him do that. Once again, it was a weak D ranking spell, this was as much magic power a mage could release with a spell of this much power. He moved his hands slowly above Allison, sort of waving his hands like she were being healed with blue fire like he heard about. The magic through his body was being sent out, this spell took a little bit to cast out due to the low speed. It was amazing on how he used to think such a spell was useful for healing. Allison seemed to be out cold, which made the white specks of his eyes increase in size, showing the panic that he was having. Why did you take it anyways damn it!? If you knew it killed you, why did you say yes and do it anyways!? The boy thought, as if he were talking to Allison in  spirit. He knew she was unable to hear him, which is why he was thinking it rather than saying it. He was going to ask her those questions when she is brought back to life. Ignite tried to get on the scene, but then stopped as she realized that she would not be of any assistance. Being a Phoenix, she was unable to cast out healing spells, especially considering that they were so rare in general, almost no fire mage can have their own healing spell. Elyx had a few healing abilities and two healing spells because wind was able to heal anyone, including Allison in this case. That was why it was panicking him for her to be knocked out like this, because his magic works on the living, but not on the dead.

Suddenly, the little girls eyes shot wide open, in which Elyx's eyes went back to regular light green with speckles of white once again. The boy closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. Allison was as happy as usual, not even phased by being dead? Meanwhile, here was Calm Meadows Elyx, on his knees with relief after going through a lot of stress trying to bring her back to life. Did something seem a little bit off? Well regardless, she was back which was good, because Elyxs clothes began to dissolve once again, returning him back to his regular white jacket and long black pants. Is it always like this? The explorer tried to ask Ignite secretly, but it caught in Ignite's earshot. Ignite smiled at the question as she then whispered into the explorers ear. Oh absolutely, I can't imagine a day where it would be otherwise. Ignite replied before Elyx got back up, then pointed towards the village. All right f**kfaces and Allison, we're here now. Let's just... Go...

(OOC: Wow, that school thing really is terrible xD I wish you the best!)
