[Natsunaine]

Lance smirks as he sees the man use the ice like powers. "You ever heard of a silence curse? It rends magic users the ability to use magic, quite useful" As the words fall out of the mans mouth the glyphs drop off the mans leg and the circle fades, Lance speeds his way to the chest and cuts it open revealing several maps in the box. "So much for wits eh?" Lance throws a rolled up map at makani and laughs. "Looks like you got the first map good luck." Lance quickly grabs one from himself and speeds of back toward the area where he left Noelle.

Lucien grits his teeth his words starting from Soft and fading into a louder tone. "how maNY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!!...." the man went into silence for a moment. "he was no good for you ellie he would have hurt you only i was good enough for you, its to late now, you can't fall for me although i know its hard, but i cannot forgive you after you left this scar upon my face..." lucien began walking slowly towards the women with a grin on his face. "What are you going to do now? You have no one you are alone, I have taken the only thing that you considered a Friend. and yet.. "Lucien looks from lei to Noelle once more "its obvious you were just a nuisance to her, Who will save you talk to you be near you now? NO ONE you are nothing just fall to your death save your self the pain.."

[Dawn]

Ignoring the words that Lucien was saying, but as she had twirled around to flee, her ankle twisted and she ended up sprawling on the ground, the scythe scattering away from her. No.. She struggles to get back on her feet..

[Natsunaine]

"getting on your hands and knees to beg won't help love."Lucien laughed menacingly as he swept the sword in circles walking at a slow pace toward the women, once he got close enough Lucien kicked the scythe further away. "Now, You shall die at my hand and i shall rule this world with an iron fist.." Lucien Lifted his blade pointing it down at the woman's chest he began to plunge it downward but Froze in mid swing as golden glyphs ran up his body.

"Its been awhile Second in command Lucien..." In a flash Lance appeared grabbing Noelle and quickly picking her up and Knocking Lucien to his back and running towards the covered forest. Lance looked down at Noelle and smiled. "Now i thought i was the only one allowed to attack you huh? When did you go changing the rules." Lance wanted badly to turn around and confront the man but he was more worried about the woman.

[Dawn]

One second, Noelle was staring at the blade of Lucien's sword coming at her chest and the next, she was swept up by Lance, going toward the forest. "Lance, thank god." a smile crosses her face, "I didn't change the rules, he's the one I've been running from."

[Natsunaine]

Lance smiled and shook his head then nodded. "To be honest i figured it was him" Lance sat noelle down against a tree plopping down next to her and looking her over for any wounds "That isn't the first time ive seen his face either, Are you okay?"

Lucien smirked as he saw the two run off. "No need in persuing them we will run into the sooner or later.. Shall we start the challenge Lei?" Lucien smiled and held his hand out towards her trying to seem friendly. though

[Dawn]

Noelle sucked in a breath, "You know him?" she leans against Lance, "He has Lei on his side, I don't know what he promised her but whatever it is, he will not deliver it. And yes, I'm fine."

Lei quietly had listened to the whole exchange, her mouth set in a firm expression. Hearing Lucien say something about running into them later and asking her about the challenge, Lei turns and takes his hand, "Yes, I am."

[Natsunaine]

Lance smiled and ran his hand through Noelle's hair gently. "Sadly me and him where in the same guild and ran it together after our master died, he always hated me because I was named leader, That and i associated with an elementalist who are our rivals." Lance looked up at the sky. "A women that i consider my sister, one day he tried to kill her and i gave my spot as leader up to save her life but, He quickly turned on me and i woke up not knowing where i was just what had happened." Lance went quiet for a moment a small tear falling from his face as he laid his head on Noelle's. "Im just glad your safe.."

Lucien smiled and began to walk toward the beacon that lit the sky with Lei behind him. "So, with all the things in the world there is no possession or thing you want other than isolation, Seems like an unusual dream to me" Lucien quickly went silent feeling he had step over the line he wanted to earn the woman's trust not lose it.

[Dawn]

Noelle shudders, "That is awful." she wraps her hand around Lance's arm, "I hope your sister is okay.." Noelle notices the tears as Lance laid his head on hers. Moving so she was face to face with him, "I owe you for saving me back there." she leans in and kisses him, placing her free hand around the back of his head.

Lei smirks, "It's not an unusual dream, some of us rather not deal with society while others do. So what's the story between you and Ele anyway. If we're going to be working as an unit, I might as well know."

[Natsunaine]

Lance's eyes widen being caught off guard by the kiss noelle had given him, After returning the kiss, Lances face went red he smiled and mumbles something under his breathe then pulled from his pocket the map he had gotten from the chest by the beacon. "Here, i almost got killed getting this for you." Lance laughed as he handed it to her.

Lucien smiled and shook his head, "Im surprised Noelle didn't tell you, we grew up together in an orphanage one day i was outside when i overheard her boyfriend at the time talking to some other person about how he was going to rape her i got so mad that i blacked out and woke up with his blood on my hands, Little did i know Noelle had saw the whole thing we got into a fight and she left the scar upon my face i believe that was the day i snapped and started on the hunt for her." Lucien grinned licking his lips. "One day I shall drink her blood from a chalice made from her bones.."

[Dawn]

Taking the map, Noelle looks shocked, "You better not get killed, no map is worth your life even through the sound of being Queen is nice." she grins, playfully swatting him on the nose, "Through I lost my scythe back there. I'll have to see about getting a replacement."

"Ele has never talked about her past to me. I found her wandering lost." she pauses listening, "Chalice made of her bones and drink her blood? What if you don't get the throne? That guy with her is also wanting to come King."

[Natsunaine]

Lance laughed at the thought of his life actually meaning something. "If I died doing something good then i wouldn't care at all, Infact I rather die in battle then by old age." Lance smiled looking at Noelle then lowering his head, it had hit him that Noelle was saying that because she did not want to lose him."..B-BUT!!! Of Course im tough ill never lose in battle right?"

Lucien smiled and shook his head. "It matters not who sits on the throne i will kill her one way or another even if it means my imprisonment i have sworn my life to this, ITs not like i have any other reason to grasp on the strings of life..."

[Dawn]

"Even the tough can lose in battle, Lance," Noelle sighs and wraps her arms around him, "Yes, I rather die knowing I have protected those I love than from old age. We need to move on, there's still the soul and mind thing to get done."

"I see." Lei remains quiet for a moment, "Only a fool would live his life just for revenge, surely there is other things you are wanting as well. You think my request is strange but I have good reasons for not wanting to be in society."

[Natsunaine]

Lance frowned hearing Noelle talk about the contest he smiled and said with a sarcastic lazy tone "Aww we can't wait here and just ignore the contest" Lance laughed a bit then stood up offering his hand to her. "need some help?"

Lucien looked over at the women almost gritting his teeth. "Oh, Dear if only it were that simple, But you know selling your soul does come with a cost..." Lucien lifted his cloak to show the area where his heart should have been in its place was a whole which inside of it was a Spacial Black hole looking material. "But that is a story for another day! Shall we go collect bones now? OH! i mean a map.."

[Ookami-onea-chan91]

Jokull just stared after the man and raised a brow before he walked over towards the little fox boy. "Hnn.... He sure is a strange one. I would like it if we didn't have to run into him again, but I guess if he's in this quest then I guess we will at some point." Mumbling as he glanced over Makani and determining that he was fine turned to head off with the map in hand.

"Sorry Jokull.... I didn't think someone like that would be here so soon." Sighing as he hung his head, ears drooping as he thought he was in trouble. "Well this definitely won't look good in front of that new guy."

[NikkoGallarado]

Kanon looked at Kate nodded some, smiled at her maybe there was something that could be done and maybe it was for the better that she had come here like she had. "Thank you, nee chan." closed her eyes held the sword close. "I-I wanna train." she said to the women.

[Dawn]

"Your the one boosting your going to be King," Noelle screeches looking at him, "Or don't you remember threatening us? And I don't see you playing possum till the hunt is over." she pouts before accepting his hand.

No heart? Lei stares at the place Lucien showed her before turning her gaze away, "Your the one calling the shots, I'm only here to help you and that's all through, I won't help you with hurting Ele. That is something that doesn't involve the hunt and isn't any of my business."
