Re: Mines of Monír

Serio wasn't really listening when Lat-Qia said this but instead was watching a woman and a man, in a whispered conversation who kept looking towards Serio and Lat-Qia. Serio put his hand on the boy's shoulder and said, "Keep walking, don't turn around and follow me," muttering.
As he began to walk, the two people also began to follow them, in the shadows.

[Jordan]

''Ok...'' Serio had made Lat stop performing to the crowd so they all just walked of and went shopping or returned home. Lat put his guitar away...''What seems to be the rush we only just got there?''

[Josh]

He rushed them around a corner and slammed a wall of earth up an alley that they had turned into. "We're being tailed. I don't know who they are or why they are doing it but they don't look like they have good news" he whispered urgently. "Now, we have two options: One, we flee the area and get away as fast and as far as we can or we risk our lives without knowing their potential danger to us and confront them. Any preference?"

[Jordan]

''Hide...and thenwe confront them?'' Lat thought for a momment ''I have an idea...We both make two walls of earth that look like they are surronding us and then we dont hide in them and leave them as a decoy,bait if you like.'' Lat Looked up at the sky and back at the ground then at Serio. ''And then we hide up in the trees and pounce on them or at least confront them.''

[Josh]

"Hmmm. Sounds like a plan, except we'll split up. You hide in the trees and i;ll hide in the ground. We can spring the trap on them and grab each one. I'll take the woman, she looks like she was in charge." He told them as he made another wall of earth on the other side of them. He heard whispering, "Now we have them," the woman said.
"Let's do it!" He said as he moved and shifted the earth beneath him so he could enter below the earth. He felt for the vibrations of the woman's footsteps and followed her directly underneath her. When Lat-Qia gets the man, then i'll go.[/i]

[Jordan]

Lee sprang into the tree before the people could see him. He kept an eye on the man. He then leaped down from the tree and in Mid air he shouted ''NOW!'' He held tightly on to the man sending him down onto the floor. ''Wu...Wu Huh?'' Lat looked confussed.

[Josh]

Serio burst out from the ground, grabbing the woman by the feet and twisting them so she fell to the floor. He then felt into the earth and drew it up. It began to rise around her legs untill it held her its grip. She wasn;t going anyway.
"Now that that is out the way, divulge me. Why are you following me and my young friend, here?" He asked calmy. She spat in his face. "I'll ask you nicely, once more. Tell me why you and that man have been following us." He got onto his knees to kneel beside her.
She smirked and hissed, "I have no need to tell you that." Then with a small movement of her ends, the earth turned to dust, freeing her feet. On the back of her hand was a strange symbol.
"Oh, now i see. The Rogue Geomancers are now a guild, are they?" He said. He guessed that she was aa Geomancer. The way she manipulated the rock to get out of the grip so easily was an obvious sign.

[Jordan]

Lat was in shock looking at the face of the man. The man smirked at him and Lat just said ''It cant be...Katan why?'' The man spat in The shocked face of Lat who was quick to wipe it of. Lat knew Katan could get him of easy but he was just laying there...

[Josh]

"Do you know him?" Asked Serio as he struggled to hold down the woman. She lashed out with her hand and slapped him across his face; her nails lacerating his skin, causing blood to run from the wound.

[Jordan]

Lat-Qia did not replied he was just holding on to Katan's shoulders with a sad and shocked face. ''Uh...'' He rubbed his eyes to see if he was right, and he was...

[Josh]

"Do you know that man, Lat-Qia?" He repeated. The woman was squirming under his grip. "Untill you're ready to talk, keep still!" He snarled and then used Ba Qua techniques on her, striking three specific points on her legs, incapacitating them and then did the same to the arms.

[Jordan]

''Yes...Yes I do'' Lat-Qia face went blank '' His name is Katana he was my old teacher(Not master teacher)''

[Josh]

"Interesting... So perhaps he was revealing the secrets of Geomancy way before he became a Rogue Geomancer. That, or you were taught while he was a rogue geomancer." He said. "Now, tell me" he said to the woman "Why-were-you-following-us?" He said intonating every word
She sighed to herself, "Well, what harm would it do telling you now. I'm caught. I was hired to assassinate you."
"Assassinate me? But, why?" He inquired "And along with that, tell me why i shouldn't kill you"
"I was paid to kill;I don't want too. Look Assassins are swords not swordman. It is the swordsman that is at fault when someone dies. Assassins are just the tools." She explained
"Who hired you?" he demanded
"I was paid not to say"
He gave her a blow to the abdomen using Ba Gua again. She had already regained use of her limbs but wasn't fighting. A good sign. She isn't hostile. At the hit she keeled over and retched. "Okay, Okay. 'Twas the head of the Rogue Geomancers, Haeli Baretii"

[Jordan]

Lat recongnised the name, well who would not recongnise it. Lat was still in shock '' Ummm... May I ask why did you want me as well?'' ;; Rouge Geomancers So I take it all of them were not in that village well obviously, Im loosing my touch...;;

[Josh]

"Haeli Baretti? So she lives? Interesting..." Haeli Baretii was his former rival back when Serio was younger. Haeli despised him and the fact that he took up the place of Master Geomancer instead of her.
"Of course she lives but I will never say were she is," She hissed and with that, she impaled herself by forcing the earth through her body and splitting herself in two. Serio jumped back and gasped, keeping away from the mess of blood and organs.

[Jordan]

Lat looked to Serio ''Flipping Hell...she had not done anything wrong to be honest'' Lat looked back at Katan ''Goodbye My freind'' Katan suddnelly faded away...''Woh,Was that really Katan do you think or was it an illusion of some sort?''

[Josh]

"Perhaps. Maybe it was just some kind of Transdimensional magic. You know, teleporting. Hmm. I'm gonna let this Rogue Geomancer thing die down for a bit. See what happens in the future. In the mean time, i guess we should get going." He said.

[Jordan]

''Indeed'' Lat nodded ''Make sure theres no interupptions this time'' Lat-Qia carryed on walking the way they were before in hope to find his uncle...

[Josh]

Serio and Lakat arrived in Neldorin only to see the infection of these Crystal Spores. He went to Xervish, his old friend, only to find he wasn't there. He explored around his house for a bit to find a book on the two worlds. He went through the void and realised these same strange black crystals were here.

[Jordy, you can say where Lakat went, i guess.]

[Jordan]

[You meen Lat-Qia?]

[Josh]

[Perhaps.]
