~The Role-playing Game~ (RP)

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Sonic/Link/Naminé/Tails~   "Yeah!" Sonic exclaimed as the Cyan Gem was brought into sight, "That's exactly what they looked like! There are 6 in the mines, last I checked." Sonic looked at the Gem with much curiosity. "You're lucky to have your hands on one!"

Link listened in to the Conversation between the Twins. "You know, how about we watch the drunkards, like you suggested before?" Tails joined in, agreeing with Link.

"There's a lot of things to do, but I don't know what kind of things you guys are into."

Meanwhile, Naminé ran back into the streets, and towards the group of new friends.

"Drunkards? I'm not so sure... can we do something more civilized and fun?"~Dawn Estheim~ "Vanitas!" Dawn grabbed his head and ran to face the front of him. "Vanitas?" Dawn hadn't known was to do... she began running around the Library, hoping something would happen to help her friend. She looked at the ground and noticed Dirt prints leading towards a shelf of books, with 5 books that seemed out of order. "Gimac?" She rearranged it to spell out "Magic!" and much to her surprise, the shelf moved! "Vanitas!"

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Silver was beaming as he looked at his crystal. This completely changed everything. He always believed that his Crystal was just a piece of rock, but now he was completely certain that there was a mystery behind it. It was this initial mystery that caused him to come to Asnia in the first place.

"Could you perhaps take me there sometime Sonic?" Silver asked. "I'd love to see what mysteries my crystal will unfold." He looked over to Link.

"I agree with her." He said with a nod. "All drunkards do is fight and stumble everywhere."

 

"But that's what makes it funny and fun!" Roxas protested. He could spend a whole week just watching the drunkards at the bar. "You have to see the guards! They're the best ones. Sometimes they challenge each other to sword fights and wrestling matches."

 

Vanitas couldn't really answer the metaphorical phone right now. The entire time he kept trying to hold on to his consciousness. He looked to where Dawn was, and lazily lulled his head to the side.

"Don't... Just... Stand there...." He muttered. He tried to sit up and rest his face in his hand. "I just need.... To close my eyes for a bit... Ngh...."

Maleficent was frantic. She kept flying back and forth, fearful for her master. As soon as Dawn opened the passage Maleficent flew right in and started to peck at the books.

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

[Ventus Aberazio]

 

  Ventus nodded at his brother once seeing the scar.

    "Yup. No fireworks for you again."
Ventus then rubbed his chin in thought of where to go. He figured he'd think about it a bit more since Roxas already thought of things to do. "Yeah. That sounds good. Then afterwards, we can see the drunkards. It's a lot of guilty fun, actually.", Ven admitted, rubbing the back of his head.

 

 

[Kirby Contray]

 

  Kirby waved at Namine as she went away to get her things. 

   "Yeah!", the pink-haired boy suddenly responded to Delsin. "Lots of fun!" Then, Kirby turned to look at the large crowd. He was so surprised at the amount of men, women and children having a good time. However, in the crowd, the child noticed somebody acting rather odd. They looked to be a man wearing a green scarf, a white robe and a mask of a woman's face. The odd display confused Kirby and caused him to tilt his head. The man looked to be either spaced out, lost, or looking for something. However, Kirby's curiosity was cut off once Namine returned. He turned to her with a smile hidden behind his mask. "Oh, hi!", the child greeted her. "I dunno. I kinda want to look around first." He put his hands behind his back and rocked himself back and forth, waiting.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Tails/Naminé/Link/Sonic~ "Of course! Traveling by myself is fun, but it gets lonely. I could always go for a friend or two!" Sonic looked towards Tails, who also listened intently. "Both of you should come with me when I leave next time!"

"Sounds great!!" Miles cheered, ready for more action and adventure. When he rescued the Twins' mom, it was dangerous, but he had such a surge of energy, and he was ready for more of that. Link smirked a bit when Silver gave him a look. "I'll go too, I guess." He turned to Silver in a quiet motion. "Maybe you were right... do you think we should go now?"   Naminé stood around, a bit confused.

  "Kirby, are you okay? You seem distracted."~Dawn Estheim~ "Maleficent?" Dawn looked towards one of the books the bird was pecking at, and took it out of the bookcase.

"Vanitas!" Dawn rushed the book to her weakened friend, hoping he knew if something inside would help. "Do you think this could help?"~Majora~ Boy... if you had been wearing me, this wouldn't have happened. I can channel the darkness for you. Majora attempted to reach out to the boy; after all, even since the first time he put on the mask, the two have had a certain mental connection. Majora could read his thoughts, and he could hear hers, when she let him.

Next time, be smart about it. Majora took a break, cutting the connection briefly. A dead puppet is a useless puppet.

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

[Kirby Contray]

 

     Kirby blinked rather quickly once Namine asked him a question. Looking up to the older girl, he spoke, putting his hands in his pockets. 

     "O-Oh! Yeah, I'm okay. I just think I saw somebody in the crowd that looks lost." The child looked at the crowd again, scratching his chin in curiosity. "They were wearing a really weird mask and a greenish-yellow scarf. I dunno. I was just a bit worried was all.", he said. "Have I see this person before?", the boy thought. He shook his head and turned to Namine again. "Yeah.I think they'll find whatever they're looking for... I hope."

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Roxas crossed his arms as he stood in the crowd with his friends. It was so hard to decide. Some wanted to do some things while others wanted to do other things.

"What are we going to do then? Roxas asked. "Should we just split up in a few groups and meet back later? I kinda want to have fun with everyone though..."

Silver grinned and placed his hand on Sonic's shoulder. "It's a promise." He declared. "I'll be your 'certified' Mage." He notice Link turn to him, and Silver turned as well.

"I... We're loosing a lot of time. But I don't know who's going to go and who's not. And the thing is because it's the festival now most of the shops are closed so we won't be able to get some of the items we need to prepare for the journey..."

 

Meanwhile Maleficent perched herself right on Dawn's shoulder. She worriedly watched as Dawn handed Vanitas the book.

Vanitas was about to flip through the book before he sensed some kind of presence nearby. He could tell that it was a dark presence drawing him to the mask.

'...Who's there?' He thought as he took the mask. He slowly placed it on his face, not caring how crazy he looked.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Majora/Dawn~ Let me see what I can do... Majora, while only an inch away from Vanitas' face, shot in place, and began shaking. A dark aura began surrounding the four in the room, shooting both Dawn and Maleficent backwards, away from Vanitas. I shall grant you power- more power, at least, than what you had before. Chaos is under your rule, but beware. The more you manipulate the Darkness, the more it can manipulate you. Inside you is a darkness that is not known to me, but I can put it to rest in a corner of your mind. Should this corner be found again, you shall surely die. Beware of this Darkness.

Dawn screamed as she was bounced back- she attempted to break into the Dark Aura, but she couldn't even walk close without feeling shearing pain.

"Vanitas!" was all she could manage, before again, being thrown away.

This girl could be in your way- do what you will, although it is ill advised to keep her around for too much longer. You may have manipulated her, but there still is a strong light in her- one that you must either snuff, or throw away.

      I have finished closing the corner. It can only be reopened with a surge of White Magic that counters the same Darkness that almost killed you. You're welcome, by the way.

 

The voice stopped talking to Vanitas. All was silent-the Dark Aura faded away to nothing, and Vanitas was healed. Dawn rushed to his side again, hoping to see him much as he was before.~Naminé/Link/Sonic/Tails~ "Alright... if you say so." Naminé wanted to be sure whoever the mystery person Kirby talked about was okay, but she was sure it was mere paranoia. Sonic and Tails looked at eachother, knowing now that they could be lifelong partners, forever altering eachothers path.

"I can't wait to start this new Adventure!" Tails shouted, before remembering where he was.

"The festival!" Sonic exclaimed, looking to Silver. "Alright, we should totally go to the Games area! They have a lot of things for us to do- bobbing, pretend Magic, dart throwing, even a battle area!" "A battle area?" Link spoke up, nodding to Silvers statement before he did. "We should try that!"~Zorn&Thorn~ "The Festival is here!"

"Here it is, the Festival!" The Two short, elderly men waltzed through the plaza, readying to take down any magic they may see. Zorn kept his eyes keen to the West; Thorn did the same, to the East. "So it is said, so it shall be done!"

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Vaniras wasn't expecting what happened next. All he felt was a surge of dark magic, one that was different than he experienced. He heard the voice speak to him and listened to all that it was saying. Who was this voice? It told him of what was hurting him, and warned him of the dangers of having an ally. Could it be coming from the mask? It must.

"Show yourself...!" He shouted. No answer. The mask spoke of a darkness that it hid in the corner of Vanitas' mind. Despite the warning, Vanitas wanted to know what it was. The dark energy soon faded away and Vanitas found himself on the ground. Dawn rushed to his side as he sat up.

"I'm fine..." He slowly lifted up his shirt and saw a scar where the stab wound once was. It wasn't a normal scar, for it was black like a black and blue. It didn't hurt at all.

 

Meanwhile, Silver looked to Sonic. "Pretend magic?" He found that statement completely disgusting and ironic. The guards were murdering innocent innocent human beings because of magic. And yet they're using fake magic as means as a toy? Suddenly the festival didn't seem to exciting anymore. It was like the festival is just darkness hidden in light.

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

[Ventus Aberazio]

 

     Ventus pursed his lips in thought. 

     "We might have to split up to let everyone see and do the things.", he said to Roxas. He shrugged.

 

[Kirby Contray]

 

     Kirby nodded his head at Namine. He seriously hoped he did seem like a crazy person to her right now. With all of the events that happened earlier before, it seemed like that would seem to be true. However, at the mention of the activities Sonic had mentioned, the child's eyes lit up.

     "Oooh! Ooh! I wanna go to a battle area!", he shouted. In all honesty, he didn't know what he was getting himself into. "And, "pretend magic? That doesn't sound very fun. If you guys wanted to see real magic, you could've just went to Chivia!", he said. Realizing that he mentioned the magic district, he quickly covered his mouth, even as it was covered by the mask. He wasn't sure if even mentioning Chivia was allowed here.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Link/Sonic/Naminé/Tails~

"Splitting up sounds okay to me." Link stated, looking at the group. "Sonic, Kirby, and I... we can head to the Battle Area! If anyone wants to join, they can!" He finished. Tails gave him a look, he wanted to go too, but part of him wanted to do something else.
 

"I want to go throw a few darts!" Tails grabbed Naminé and headed off to the Dart throwing area. He didn't ask Naminé if she wanted to go. She did, of course, but she wanted to stick around with Kirby for a little bit.

Oh well, it looked like the Dart Area was where they were heading already anyhow. Naminé grasped Tails by the arm, and exclaimed.

"I appreciate being asked!" She yelled at the boy, who gave her a saddened look.
"I apologize, I do, but there's something we need to talk about." Tails and Naminé got into the line, and waited for the chance to throw darts.

"What could you say to me that you couldn't to your friends?" Naminé hadn't know this boy, so she was quite surprised with what he was doing.
"Well... there's something weird going on. Can't you smell it?" Tails had never smelt something so off before... such a dank smell, something he didn't know. Naminé took a whiff around, not smelling anything unusual, aside from the smells of festival food.
"I don't smell anything. Are you okay?" Tails threw his arms down in disappointment, but was quickly relieved when the line to the darting area had cleared, and they were in front. Excitedly, the boy walked towards the dash, and picked up a dart. The curtains moved, and the targets were revealed.

Tails dropped his dart, leaving it again on the dash. He knew that Asnia was against magic, but... to this point? The targets... they were people. Real people. Hanging from a tree in the distance... this was what they called fun? Targets had been painted onto the bodies. 10 for any point, 30 points for the stomach, 50 in the head. Above them read a sign, reading:

Magic is not Tolerated. Those who practice magic shall meet this end.

 

~Meanwhile~
Sonic laughed with Link as the two headed off towards the Battle Area.
"Ya coming, Kirby?" Link teased a bit at the shorter boy. "Are you going to battle, or just watching?"

~Dawn Estheim~
"I'm so glad you're alright..." Vanitas had revealed the scar, dark blue and black. "Damn, Vanitas... that's not natural. What happened? All I could see was darkness... I couldn't even see your face!" Dawn spoke worriedly, hoping not to alert anyone on the outside.

"What did you do? How are you okay?"

[Arya Stark 1,337]

~Alvin~

"It looks to me like he just went through a bit of a dark healing process." A deep and charming voice echoed behind Vanitas and Dawn. Alvin strode into view, wearing his characteristic grin. "I really hope it was worth it, because magic like that always comes at a price." Alvin commented, eyes looking towards the mask. As far as his anti-magic raising had gone, most of the time it was silly. But when it came to stuff like that mask, it definitely made sense. He looked back towards Vanitas and Dawn, then gasped. "Oh! My deepest apologies. The name is Alvin, the most stylish mercenary of all!" The Mercenary introduced himself, adjusting his scarf a little bit.

 

~Stocke~

"That's what happens." Someone said from behind Tails and Namine. Stocke looked at the hanging bodies himself, absorbed in thought. "If you are found possessing magic objects, or seen practicing any kind of magic at all, that is your fate. It's not a big deal here, it's just what happens. Here, it's just as big a crime as murder. And the people despise magicians at least as much as murderers, if not more." Stocke explained to them. Should he really be so conspicuous? No, he definitely shouldn't. If an Asnian citizen who knew him saw him sympathizing with mages, his cover would almost certainly be blown. But... he felt that he needed to help out these kids. Try and explain things to them so that the emotional scarring wasn't so deep.

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Roxas saw everyone splitting up to their own places. He wasn't sure of what he wanted to do, other than the fact that fireworks were definitely out of the question.

"I dunno." He turned to Ventus and Delsin and shrugged. "Ven, Del, what do you guys wanna do?" He didn't want to think about it, but usually he and his brother always did everything with their father. Everything felt dull without him here.

 

Meanwhile Silver decided to follow Link and Sonic along to the battle arena. He really didn't know what to expect, and apart of him was afraid of what he might discover. He started to realize this town was horrors disguised in a beautiful lie. He didn't know if he wanted to discover anything further. He noticed Tails run off, and grabbed Link's shoulder. "Guys, look." He said. "Should we go after him? He took Naminé with her."

 

Meanwhile Vanitas traced his fingers over the scar. It had small amounts of a strange thick black gunk on it which stuck to his fingers. Vanitas took a small glass vile out of his satchel and put the gunk inside. Perhaps he could research the substance later and see if it was residue from some sort of curse. "I don't really know what happened." He admitted. He was going to say more but Alvin appeared. He quickly stood up and got infront of Dawn, standing his ground. "Alvin the mercenary? How did you get in here!?" He summoned a small ghostly orb of dark magic in his hand.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

~Amiti Balthasar~

 

The boy of nineteen stood alongside the battle arena, wiping the blade of his sword while waiting to the side.  A battle was taking place in the center of the room, to which many citizens cheered and booed.  Amiti turned around as he heard newcomers approach: a group of kids that he hadn't yet seen in these parts.  Amiti nodded respectfully to Link before smiling at the others.  "Hello.  Are you here to compete?  Do you have swords yet, and have either of you used a sword before?  If not, perhaps I can be of aid.  My name is Amiti, a local blacksmith here in Asnia.  How far have you travelled for the festival?"

 

He always enjoyed meeting travelers; that was one of his favorite parts of his uncle's business.  He particularly loved the stories which they would share, namely those magicians who retold stories of their adventures.  While Amiti was always forbidden for having a particular interest in magic users, he secretly still admired the magicians and partly wished he could one day use magic himself.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Dawn Estheim~ "Who is this cook?" Dawn asked Vanitas, who had seemed to be uneased by the mans presence. "How do you know so much?"~Link/Sonic~ "You guys go ahead, I'm gonna stay here." Sonic spoke up, ready to fight. Link nodded. "I'm going to stay with Sonic. I think you should go, though, Silver!" He then looked at the man who had been questioning them. "You look pretty tough, but I should warn you, I'm quite good with a sword! Of course, only if you're planning to compete too." "I'm... not so good with a sword. I'm more of a hand-to-hand kind of guy." Sonic shuffled his feet. "Who are you?"~Naminé/Miles~ Both young peoples were shocked by the voice behind them. "We know how it is..." Miles spoke up, trying to act like he was used to seeing things like this. He had heard Delsin explain that Roxas had also seen three hanging bodies, but he doubted that they were the same ones. "Is it... like this every year?" Naminé queried. "It's only my first time to the festival."

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

[Kirby Contray]

 

     The young pink-haired boy clapped excited to see what the battle arena was like in this town. He obviously assumed that they wouldn't be using magic, so he was curious to see what a natural battle looked like. His neighbor Axel would never let him go to the battle area back at home because it was too violent, but this time he had the chance to see it. The boy looked over to Link and nodded his head.

     "Mm-mm! I'm coming! I'm not going to battle, though. I think I'm too little! So, I'll just be watching, okay?"

But just as soon as he responded, he saw the presence or a newcomer and just looked up at them with curiosity, tilting his head.

 

[Ventus Aberazio]

 

     Ventus looked at his brother and started to think.

     "Hmm. If all else fails, we could head over to the battle arena with the others. Or we can go over to grab something to eat. I'd personally prefer the latter, but that's just because I've been running around for the majority of the day.", he laughed.

Summary of the first Ten Pages:
(Please don't post until all summaries have been posted.)

 

INTRODUCTIONS

The Adventure began on a day much like any other. In the small village of Farron,
The Twins, Roxas and Ven, had just woken up to the sound of their father working in the forge.
Their father, Rick, had just made an unique knife made from Orichalcum. Soon after,
 the family had met for Breakfast. The mother, Wendy, asked the twins to make a grocery run.
 After they did the chore, in theory, the two would head for the library, very interested to
search and see if they could find any books on Magic.

Meanwhile,a man named Corvo was making his way to a meeting; one he didn't want to miss.
A mysterious, merciless man named Alvin. Together they had planned to cross the border from
Chivia, into Asnia, a land where all magic was banned. To an orphanage, when he ran into a
man named Minato. He asked Minato directions to the orphanage. Minato, in turn, implored to
be adopted himself.Although he did not plan to adopt so quick, Corvo took Minato in as his son.
Alvin, overhearing this, took Corvo aside and told him to leave the kid to get the dangerous job
done. Corvo refused, and instead invited Alvin to a dinner, contemplating if adopting Minato
would lead him to danger. Joined shortly by an assassin named Krane, Corvo no longer thought he could
keep his occupation a secret from Minato.The group together went to an eatery in town, postponing
the border crossing.

Miles Thompson, a young man who worked as an inventor of sorts, lived with a man named Link Baxter,
initially a silent man, and commonly fell asleep in places that were definitely not his bed. Miles
had left to the market, leaving Link in charge around the house.Link was suddenly alerted by a ruckus
outside his house. A boy with Silver hair was being dragged away by guards! Accused of Witchcraft,
the boy, named Silver, revealed he merely had a relic. Link ran out in defense of the young man, who
had a magical tag meant to suppress all magic.Link, who had an interest in magic, but never an
opportunity to use it, rushed at the guards, sword in hand. Miles overhead Link's battle-cry, and
rushed off from his work. Miles jumped in front of Link and convinced the guards that he was
tired and confused, taking Link aside.Link managed to get away without Miles noticing, and ran
after Silver. The guard, now alone, did not have the skills to take on Link, leaving him with
no choice but to leave without taking Silver.Link removed the magic tag, and revealed to Silver
that he wanted to learn magic. Miles, meanwhile, returned to work, and eventually left, as Link
was not likely to return. Silver agreed to Link's request, revealing he had come from Chivia
on a sort of vacation to find relics here in the magic-less land. Silver taught Link a spell
allowing him to produce balls of fire. Silver revealed a Crystal that helped locate magic relics.

Kirby, a boy with bright pink hair and a lovable vocabulary, had woken up with no memory of the
previous day, surrounded by broken shards of yellow. He decided to ask around to see if anyone could
identify the shards.He made his way into the town, holding the shard close to his stomach. Naminé,
a girl who had lost her parents, and in return, gained ownership of a flower-shop, ran into Kirby.
Naminé was unable to identify the shard, but had invited Kirby inside to see if they could figure
anything out.Kirby held up the shard to help Naminé see better, but it began to shine a blinding
light, attracting some nearby strangers. The two decided to enter through the back, because this
shard was looking more and more like illegal magic. Naminé asked Kirby where he found the shard,
revealing it was a Star Shard.

Yu and Naomi were siblings who didn't always get along. Still, they were a normal family. Yu had
been heading home from school when a bright light and temporarily blinded him, causing him to fall
and lose consciousness.

---

THE FIRST MEETING

Miles had been resting on his bed when the bright light had flooded his room. He quickly looked
outside to see a young man unconscious on the ground outside. He left to help the boy by getting
him to his bed. Roxas and Ven, having been heading to the store when they saw the light, changed
direction and ran into Miles, asking to assist bringing the boy, Yu, into his house, shortly joined
by Kirby, who felt slightly guilty for causing Yu to fall, and dropped the shard unnoticed.
 Yu began gaining consciousness, surprised by the amount of people around him. Miles quickly explained the
situation, and everyone introduced themselves. Roxas and Ven decided to mess with a guard,
 but were quickly interrupted by a large noise. A bagpipe being played my a mysterious Scotsman!
He had been antagonizing the guard to a large extent ever since he had left Silver. Kirby and Miles,
intent on being friends with the group of people they had met, joined in on antagonizing the guard.
Yu left, assumingly returning to his normal life with his sibling. The guard ran, and as the sun
started to set in this small town, the group of newly found friends laughed together, some of them
never knowing friends before. The Scotsman introduced himself, revealing his lack of memory. Roxas
took out his sword, revealing it to Kirby, who looked at it in awe. Kirby, in turn, showed them
the Star Shard. The Scotsman looked at it, unearthing a deep memory just slightly. The shards looked
familiar. Kirby decided he wanted to introduce his friends to Naminé. However, Ventus and Roxas had
needed to hurry to the store and return home. Thus, the friends disbanded, if only temporary.

---

THE NIGHT


Delsin, A mischievous, but friendly, body of the night made his move in the darkness. He had prepared
some paint, made from the blood of a deer from the nearby forest. Seeing the Mage and the Hero use
magic before inspired him to paint the Fire Insignia on a wall, belonging to the house of a villager
in town. His parents had been killed on false accusations of magical use. This inspired his
interest in magical relics and the such. He had hoped this magical symbol would bring
people together to defeat the ideal that all Magic was wrong. He was seen briefly by Roxas, but
quickly escaped his view. Ventus saw the symbol shortly after, both siblings from their window,
and soon the two decided to sneak out. Although Miles had returned home, he looked out his own
window and also saw the wall that had been painted. He left briefly, but noticing Link return, he
headed back home and fell asleep soon after.

Link had fallen asleep in the forest after training with Silver, who woke Link up shortly after
looking  through his own relics and studies. Silver told Link to return home, which he did. He
managed his way inside, smashed a pot, and fell asleep.

Roxas and Ventus, initially interested by the Insignia, the two were drawn into town. At night,
the guards grew lazy, thus a black market was spawned. Roxas always had his sword on him in case
something went wrong, so they had a false sense of security, for the two were being spied on by a
Black Mage, Vanitas, and his assistant, Dawn Estheim. Vanitas instructed her to get the twins
to take an amulet that he had enchanted. As she approached the boys, Delsin quickly joined, noticing
the amulet was enchanted. He didn't want the boys to get conned. The Twins thought it a simple
trinket.Dawn, who quickly caught on to what Delsin was doing, offered him something unique tomorrow,
and asked the boys if they wanted the amulet for free. However the two still bought the amulet for
1000 coin.Dawn retreated back to Vanitas, who had yet to put the next step in motion. Ventus thanked
Delsin for trying to help, and returned to Roxas, who identified him as the man who painted the wall.


After the friends dispersed, Kirby fell asleep under a tree.

Vanitas decided his next move would be a careful one; He didn't want anyone catching onto his
targeting the twins.

---

THE NEXT MORNING

Thane, Corvo, Alvin, and Minato, together, had stayed in an Inn. Outside their door,
loud barking was heard. Minato checked the door to find a puppy with a ribbon around its neck, and
a note congratulating Corvo on his adoption, and revealing the puppy as a present.


Miles and Link had a confrontation: Link had started talking, and Miles had been out late. Link,
frustrated that Miles had left so late at night, returned to being mute. Miles left the house soon
after. Link decided after a few minutes to head to the Inn and meet with Silver, who had just walked
into the Inn soon after Link did, carrying a bag of food and supplies. Silver walked them both
to his room, where they could communicate quietly. Silver had suggested to Link that he informed
Miles of his Magic learning, but they were quickly interrupted.

After having slept following the incident with the twins, Delsin woke up to the sound of people
rambling on about the Magical Insignia in town. He had hoped this would be the reaction. After hunting
a bit, Delsin thought of the Twins, and how it was obvious that a Dark Mage was targeting them.
He thought, in order to defend them, he would need to learn some magic, and become a mage. He
overheard Silver and Link talking from the floor below.He rushed up, and joined the two's
discussion.

Yu found Miles that day again, sitting in anger.Miles almost immediately cheered up, seeing his
newfound friend again, who had brought his sister. Yu introduced the two.

Roxas and Ventus began the next morning normally. Their mother made them breakfast, and their father
joked to them about getting jobs. Roxas offered a trip into town, in which Ventus stopped reading
and took up the plan.The two left the house, waiting for the day to really begin.

Vanitas and Dawn began planning a way to get Delsin out of the way, to allow them to continue with
their plans. The plan was simple: Delsin painted the Insignia. All Dawn had to do was report him.
While Dawn tried that, Vanitas began another plan.

Kirby ran into the Scotsman, after having first met him the night before. He remembered the Star
Shard, and asked the Scotsman to follow him to Naminé's shop. Naminé had been sketching when the
two entered, but she didn't have a problem with greeting them.While Kirby started explaining
everything that had happened the night before, his star shard began glowing a dark red color. After
a few minutes, Kirby and the Scotsman took it as a warning. Not knowing what else to do, Kirby went
to the market.

---

TROUBLE'S FIRST LIGHT

Delsin, having interrupted Silver and Link, was greeted by slight hostility from Silver. Delsin
spoke of a black mage, startling Silver. He explained that he was the one who drew the Insignia,
and that he was inspired by the two of them practicing before. He also told them of the twins,
and the girl at the market, and his desire to learn magic for Defense. Silver stated that it was
dangerous, but Magic wasn't the way to fight the Dark Mage. However, the idea soon came that they
enchant a dagger. Delsin offered up his dagger, which became enchanted by Silver. Delsin left
soon after, towards the Twins house.

Vanitas, in a Clyde disguise, walked by the Twins house. His plan was put in motion as soon as
he shouted "I saw someone practicing magic in the Blacksmiths house!" Two guards rushed to the scene,
and Vanitas left shortly after, not wanted to disgrace himself anymore. Alongside Dawn, the two
got as far as possible, not wanting to jeopardize.

Having overheard the man scream about the Magic, Miles ran towards the sound.

Roxas and Ven, having already left, soon found themselves heading back, noticing the guards rushing at the place.
Delsin joined them soon after. The guards searched the house, finding the enchanted Amulet in the
Twins room. At first, the guards demanding Roxas and Ven to be arrested. However, their father Rick
soon came, and admitted to hiding the Amulet in their room, getting both him and his wife
arrested in their place. Delsin attempted to take the blame, but it failed.
