The Ward's Guard

Pior watched Vivace and Concerto closely. "I don't like them, but I guess I gotta stick with you anyways hot eyes. Besides, Yain ain't gonna be missing me for a little while."

"He also an amal?"

"Didn't the kid who's not the kid say something about a brother?"

Pior looked puzzled. "I don't think that I get it, at least not completely. You're saying that you can do nothing to get the kid back? Did the kid's soul get stolen or something?"

"No one liked the food?"

"You talking about the Geltimore Job?"

Pior gave one of his cheeky smiles. "I wouldn't mind if ya did that, logistics put me to sleep better than my own mom's lullabies. Though far be it for me to ruin one of your moments, especially when it involves the girl you met that isn't actually the girl that you met."

Pior gave Aerith a worried look. "If you say so, I'm all for sleeping on it."

Pior nodded as he considered this. "Suppose that's true. Also would mean that I wouldn't be involved; I'd probably be back at that crummy tavern getting wasted again. Yeah, things got pretty bad when you got involved. The only way that it could get worst is if those amal buffoons back at that base or camp or whatever decided to actually do something. There were quite a lot there, they could do a lot of damage if they wanted to."

Pior looked around the entire area quite thoroughly before settling down close to Aerith. "We did all of that for her? She must mean a lot to you Hot eyes, cause I don't see much in her."

Pior walked behind Aerith so that he could keep a constant eye behind them.

"Full Lashing? Would that be some sort of measurement?"

Ros slapped his forehead. "Excuse me Crescendo, it seems that I'm an idiot." Ros then lifted another Sphere that was full of Stormlight before calming himself, and then breathing in the Stormlight. As Ros started to glow, he held his breath, keeping in the Stormlight until he taped his foot on the floor where Crescendo was standing. He breathed out.

Ros reached out with his foot to tap the area where Crescendo was standing. "Like this? I feel as if I'm forgetting something."

Ros took a deep breath. "If you're sure of it. Do I need to touch the ground that you are standing on?"

Concern crept onto Ros's face again. "Uh, should I be doing that to you Crescendo? I don't know what it does exactly, and I don't know if it will hurt you."

"Adhesion, binding object together. How do I do that?"

Ros looked puzzled until he looked up towards the sky. "Ah, I think I see."

Kuno stroked his shaved chin thoughtfully as he dismissed the Fox Amal, Arminio simply sat and watched the fire burn in the small hearth. Escalation, far too much escalation. On its own, escalation could be handled, but this time it came shrouded in mystery, and that was an issue in and of itself. If things would only slow down, then Kuno could take the time to put everything in its proper order so that he might be able to win easily in the conflicts to come. Unfortunately, time wore on, and it would always do so. With this being the case, Kuno resigned himself to believing that a good plan deployed now would be better than a perfect plan deployed later. "Arminio, it seems that I was right about calling Ghost Division into complete active duty, if only I had that thought months ago." As we speak, the Chapters are mobilizing into a defensive state. I believe that your timing is right. "Even so, I need more information on this, otherwise our move will be unwieldy and unfocused. How soon can we have the Chosen here?" They will be mobilized and deployed here in a matter of days, that will give this new mayor time to properly set up his own Chapter. Kuno nodded. "Then do we have an ETA on Ghost Division?" A few minutes. Kuno raised an eyebrow. "Did he come here with you." Ask him yourself. @Channelknight Fadran

"Gravitation, changing how gravity affects an object or person, right?"

"Surges, the ones that you mentioned previously? How exactly do I- uh, do that?"

"I- thank you Crescendo. It didn't last long."

Ros opened his eyes and then yelped in surprise, releasing the Stormlight. "Wha- I- huh?"

"How reassuring."
