~Opening~ Returning to the city pub, Douken pulled up his seat at the bar and sighed. "The usual?" The barkeeper asked. Even with a fairly large city, this man could tell the local visitors to his little business. With a small nod, the barkeeep headed off to grab a bottle of apple juice as Douken pulled out his research book again. "You are the only man who comes to my shop wanting something besides alcohol, you know that?" "I do," Douken muttered back, flipping through the pages of diagrams. "I just don't like the taste of of it." "Of course. But every day I see your nose in that book. I mean, what is the big deal? Monsters that are after our hearts? Really, we got enough monsters outside our walls to worry about, and I doubt they are after anything specific." Flipping the page again, he answered, "You may be right, but what if its true? I think it would be better if we were aware of such a thing, even if it may not exists." Taking a drink, he turned the page again, showing the heartless crest. Suit yourself. I would be more worried about how to take on the Four Demons than thinks that don't exist." |

"They do exist." The voice interrupting the two came from the other side of the bar, in a dark corner. An individual hidden below a large red hat and a combat robe following the same fashion seemed to have listened to all of their little conversation. "It's just that people refuse to see them for what they are... but... I know where to find one at least" ... Who on earth is this guy, nobody seems to know. But whoever he is, he seems really interested in that man knowing about darkness. |

They do exist?! crept into the back of Douken's mind, thinking on what this meant. Was this an actual threat to the citizens? Was there more to what this book said that he can find out? Would he be able to perform something this Ansem the Wise person could not?! "Where are they?" were the first words that came out of his mouth. "Hey now," the barkeep interrupted, "don't go believing anything nyone says. i can tell you he isn't one of my norms like you." "I will just check it out. If anything, i will dwindle the monster population there and back. Stop acting like I can't handle myself." Looking back at the man with the imitation red mage hat, he asked, "So then, where are these monsters you speak of? And what do you know of them?" |

[Imitation? Now my feeling are hurt...] Raising the hat to reveal a face, the red mage seemed enjoyed that someone would at least try to be more scholar than believer. ![]() "Well, well... it's not completely possible to answer your question as for now, but I can try to point you a direction." declared the individual, raising from the chair standing in the corner, to walk out toward the light spreading from the windows. Then as a glorious swirl of hat accompanied his flamboyant curtsey, the mage spoke again: "But let me present myself: Ayme DiFarell, erudite, traveller and probably in a short time, your companion in travel" and as the rather androgynous face saw his headpiece get back on top of his head, a final sentence punctued the melodramatic entrance "Because these dark creature stole my friend's heart." |

Closing his book and chugging down the juice, he tipped the bartender before introducing himself. "Douken Sota. I am one of the city's researchers against what lies outside these walls.And if they have done what you have said, then they are an obvious threat." The barkeep sighed, knowing trying to argue back now was pointless. "Just don't get yourself killed, alright kid?" Taking the glass, he went back to the sink to clean it up. With a thumbs up, Douken walk up in front of Ayme, holding his hand out to shake. "Well then, lead the way." |

Agreeing with Douken, the crimson sorcerer went ahead, then once outside the bar, pointed at a nearby mountain range. "My friend ran over there... lured by the darkness, then caught like a small fry on the line of adversity... but I also heard this is a place full of more down-to-earth danger... I do hope you're ready to get in such a place... all by myself, it would be probably too risky!" And he was right... the place is known as a goblin's den and as such is avoided by many travellers... yet, it is also where our two adventurers would have to go. The path, however, was far less dangerous up until reaching those mountain, and the stroll was peaceful, no random encounters daring to stop them. But that doesn't mean the travel was uneventful: Ayme would want to share their interest on those creatures. "Say... where did you find such an interesting book? It seems to hold knowledge not usually spread around..." |

"My book?" he asked, making sure he heard him right. "It was actually a strange day. Someone was trying to get a room in an inn, but didn't have the gil for it. Had this foreign currency called "munny" which no one was willing to trade for, so he had to sell some of his items. It was just one of the things he had on sale." Taking a look around at the area, his mind went though his "memory logs" on what was here. "We got to be a bit more careful here. Although dumb, goblins can be strong and come in numbers. Don't let your guard down. We also got to be weary of the unknown enemy as well." Taking a deep breath, he took a short moment to meditate, focusing on hiding his heart. If the enemy was a heartless," then it would be the best way to seehow ths skill would work. [~Heart Concealment Active~] |

... Strange story, but it seemed plausible. In this world, it is even par for the course. And yet, the red mage was still interested. Also, noticing his new friend readying himself for battle, he did the same, getting more wary of his surrounding... the mountain was starting just in front of them and a small track was snaking on the side of it, between trees at first, while the top seemed clear of any vegetation. "... Just so I know what to ready... what are your specialities in case of confrontation? I do not want to be a burden if it happened..." were the last words spoke before the climbing started. |

Seemed a little late to ask about skills, but it wasn't like he was going to hold back. "I only got a couple spells on me: Copy and Cure. Other than that, I got my kagenui on me." tapping the weapon's handle above his right shoulder. "Other than that, I doubt i will need anything else." Its not like he had to know about his Shadow Juggle anyways. "What about yourself? I mean, your uniform does state you skilled in combat and magic, but how? Don't want to be a burden..." |

Taking a pause to ponder about his answer,it soon came in these words: "White magic I master not, as in biology I cannot, elements I control, with these I'm on a roll. My staff is my friend as it repell the fiend, but a poet I can also be, as younger I was a bard wannabe". It was easy to understand why the last part never got to be concretized, seeing how horrible these rhymes are. And declaming had a little side effect that were to be expected: it seemed to have picked something's attention in the wood neardy! A move that made some leaves fall from a nearby branch, a sound, muffled but still present... and it was nearby! Just... over there! |

"Don't quit your day job," he replied, noting the bad rhyme and rhythm of his little riddle, giving him less information than what he gave besides knowing he had elemental magic and no white magic. I do hope he knows friend and fiend don't rhyme... However, there was something nearby that caught Douken's ears, and soon his eyes as he turned to look at the rustle. it could easily be another goblin, but in such dangerous terrain, he had to be careful. Taking the handle of the oversized kunai, Douken crept up on the muffled noise. |

Looking in the bushes, scouting the trees, Douken would soon spot... a rabbit! Seems like the little mammal made more noise than the group's tolerance to danger would accept... if all these little sounds could be potential enemies, the road is going to seem longer than it actually is by a fair margin... and yet... the forest is still unusually silent for this timeof the year... But this didn't seem to phaze the red one: "Ok, so it was nothing... shouldn't we, I dunno... carry on? because I didn't bring a tent and stargazing in such a place is not part of my agenda!" And with this, he started climbing again... but it seemed worried however as he was looking around some more, especially in places that would seems unlikely to be sources of an attack... which was really strange... |

Amya's jumpy attitude was strange, but was was even more strange was how he knew how to navigate this terrain as well as how little creatures there were. However, leaving him here would of been suspicious as well, so he had to just keep a closer eye on this man. If there was an ambush, he would have to be ready. "I understand the person is your friend, but maybe you should relax. You may get a heart attack from a simple breeze." Another concern was how he worded 'as in biology I cannot.' He had yet met anyone who could not learn white magic with such an adaptive trade. best keep an eye on him. |

Douken was wary, and it was not something the man in red seemed to notice... in fact, he was somehow fearing something, but what? It was a mystery on its own. ... But probably not as much as what they would find a little further... corpse. Dead goblins, in fact, in large quantities... while a fork was leading toward a grotto, blood streaming between the two places. Looks like the danger is real, after all. In the surrounding silence, Ayme went toward the dead bodies... and seems to have found something. A sort of charm, perhaps... it looked like a card, but made of paper, something never seen for Douken ... probably for the rest of this world, too. "... He was here..." is the only thing he would say upon looking at it... before looking at the cave entrance "And he seems to have worked hard.". His tone, althrought still soft, seemed deeper... |

"He?" he asked, kneeling down and taking the card he had never seen before. "Why do you sound like you know what did this?" Placing the card in his pocket, he drew the blade form his shoulder, ready just in case of anything. A bloody floor is not done by a mere rabbit (unless you lived with Monty Python). "However, since we are this far, you might as well tell me what happened, how you know about here, and what you know of this monster." |
