Kath: (Herm?) *She leant back, as if she was allowing Ridley to give leadership.*
Ridley: "This is an S classed mission." *He looked at Tara with an excited smirk.* "I would also like you to communicate this to your leader."
Tara: (Blake-)
Ridley: "And they are to participate if you have any trouble."
Tara: "Sir." *She looked up, as if she wanted to say something.*
Ridley: "Speak." *He spoke on his breath and waved his hand, as if it was a privilege for her to speak.*
Tara: "There were three prisoners that have escaped-"
Kath: "Three? I was told one had died during the interrogation?!"
Tara: "That is correct. It was one of our own."
Kath: *She silently formed fists, trying to control her anger.* (Not only do we have a heretic, but this person has broken one of the warrior codes and used Remenistal without being a captain-)
Ridley: "Do you have any information regarding these people?"
Tara: "Sir! One is a Scoldrant User without a partner, one with no traceable Neurons and Astragons, and the other surprisingly is a Rostical User. Although, very weak-"
Kath: "You are dismissed! Out of my sight."
Tara: "Ma'am! Sir!" *She quickly stood up and punched her chest, flashstepping out of the room.*
Kath: *She listened to a faint buzzing sound whoosh from the area where Tara stood.* "What is the meaning of this sudden interest, Ridley?"
Ridley: "Let's just call it curiosity. I'm fascinated to hear more about these random places this person in strange clothing talked about." *He smirked, as if he knew more than he let on.*
Kath: "Very well. But I will be terminating this warrior."
Ridley: "That's fine by me, haha. There's no mercy for the damned. Regardless, my curiosity lies with this woman."
Kath: "They are merely delaying the inevitable."
Ridley: "I concur." *He spoke with a smile, causing Kath to chuckle.*

*Rachael sniffed and stepped away from Lezard, slowly turning away.*
Twortz: "Excuse me." *She spoke under her breath in disgust, catching Lezard's attention.* "You need to call an ambulance."
Rachael: "..."
Lezard: "Oh, golly? What's that?"
Rachael: *She closed her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.* "Are you serious?" *She spoke on her breath and looked up in determination, glancing at Twortz.*
Twortz: "I can't berh- breathe."
Rachael: *She slowly walked towards Twortz, stepping with a limp.* "Where are you hurt?"
Twortz: *She wrapped her arms around her chest.* (It's getting worse-)
Rachael: "We're both hurt, we don't know where we are, and now we have nowhere to go."
Lezard: "I know where we are, I'm not hurt. Maybe you children could come with me? Keep me company.."
Rachael: "Could you please get help?" *She staggered up to Twortz and bent down, inspecting her body.*
Twortz: (I'm sorry..) *She thought to herself with the mind frame of giving up.*
Lezard: *He hobbled up to Twortz and Rachael, catching their attention.* "I can help.."
Rachael: "... Please.. Just, call for help.." *She spoke in distress, as if she realised the severity of Twortz's condition.*
Lezard: "Okies.." *He slowly inhaled and spread his arms over Twortz, staring at her in a serious-like manner.* "Due to her wounds, I will need to use the Rostical's incantation."
Rachael: "You're a nice guy, full of life, but please-"
Lezard: "Quick internal light-" *He frowned with concentration, causing a faint white glyph to draw itself around his feet.*
Rachael: "H-Huh?" *She looked down and stared at the forming glyph in shock.* "A platform?" *She spoke on her breath, as her face slightly glowed white from the light.*
Twortz: *She squinted her eyes, listening to the sounds of people laughing at her.* (Even to the end.. They still laugh at me-)
Lezard: "INVOKING AURA" *He shouted with an echoing voice, ignoring sudden gusts of warm air which blew around him.*
Twortz: "What is that.. Light-? Karh-?!" *She suddenly gagged in pain, watching a swirl of warm light flash around her chest.*
Rachael: *She stared at the light with a dropping jaw and slowly reached forward, gasping as the light swirled through her hand.* "I-It feels like warm water."
*The sounds of bones cracking back into place caused Twortz to scream in pain.*
Twortz: "It hurts?" *She spoke with a wheeze, but suddenly inhaled in relief.* "I can-?"
Lezard: "Phew! That was a little harder than I thought, bwarharh." *He lowered his arms and stepped forward with a loss of balance.*
Rachael: "You can talk normally-?"
Twortz: *She stood up and stared at Lezard in disbelief and gratitude.* "How-? The light-?"
Rachael: "Twortz, your bones-?" *She looked up, as if she was shocked Twortz could stand in such a manner.*
Twortz: "What are you?"
Lezard: "Bwarharh, I'm flattered. I'm just a traveller."
Rachael: *She slowly stood up, as if she wasn't sure what was happening.* "What was that light-?"
Lezard: "So, now that I have your delicious attention, could you care to give me an answer?"
Twortz: "For what?"
Lezard: "About occupying me?"
Rachael: "I..."
Lezard: "Ouchies-" *He noticed the cut on Rachael's face, causing him to reach out towards her.*
Rachael: "What are you-?"
Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *His voice echoed, as he focused on the cut.*
Rachael: "Sounds like a magic spell-?" *Light glowed in the wound, queuing it to start rapidly healing.*
Lezard: *He smiled and lowered his arm in accomplishment.* "Delicious."
Rachael: (It stings like an anti-bacterial cream was used-) *She frowned and placed her hand on her cut, causing her to rub her skin in shock.* (It's smooth?)
Twortz: *She grabbed Rachael's chin and inspected her face in amazement.* "Y-You have no cut?!"
Lezard: "Yuppers, bwarharh." *He chuckled with happiness and stepped back, giving Twortz and Rachael space.*
Rachael: "How did you heal?"
Twortz: "The light.. You healed a person's wound." *She touched her head and frowned in confusion, as if she was trying to comprehend what just happened.*
Lezard: "Using Rostical is rare as it is. But, the power of light.. Not many people in this world can do so."
Rachael: "What is Rostical?"
Twortz: "What was that light? Was it some sort of advanced nanotechnology?"
Lezard: "Nanoo...? Excuse me, child?"
Twortz: "Child? I am probably much older than you?"
Lezard: "Oh? Excuse me." *He sounded apologetic, glancing around Twortz in confusion.*
Twortz: "What are you-?"
Lezard: "I just didn't feel that strong urge of Astragons within you, so I assumed you didn't have the mastery required to prolong one's lifetime."
Rachael: "Never assume.." *She smiled with a saddened facial expression.*
Twortz: (To prolong one's lifetime? This guy may be weird, but he seems to know what he's talking about. Or, he's just completely crazy and he's good with his words?)
Lezard: "We're currently residing South West of the continent, just outside The Twilight Forest-" *He spoke in thought and looked to the side, as if he was staring out into the far distance.*
Rachael: "Twilight?"
Lezard: "We've got a delicious adventure ahead.. Perhaps I could answer these questions as we walked?"
Rachael: "Wait a minute. We never agreed to come."
Twortz: "I think we should learn as much as we can."
Rachael: "Twortz?" *She sounded shocked.*
Twortz: "If you turn out to be crazy, I'll ensure you'll receive punishment."
Lezard: "Jinkies!" *He shook his bottom in a sarcastic-like manner.* "No evil plot twists from me!"
Twortz: "And you, Rachael?"
Rachael: "Well-" *She glanced at the city and shivered, looking at Lezard with a smile.* "I'm not going in a city with that crazy woman."
Lezard: "Yay!" *He giggled, sarcastically shaking his bottom.* "Besties?"
Twortz: "No."
Lezard: "Naww."
Rachael: "So, where are we going?" *She formed a fist and stepped forward, symbolising her readiness.*
Lezard: (She's strong willed.. Although, I can a strange feeling from these two ladies-)
Twortz: "Was it, Lezard?"
Lezard: "Yay! You remembered my name, bwarharh."
Twortz: "..."
Lezard: "We head South until we reach the city." *He started to hobble forward, causing Rachael and Twortz to follow.*
Rachael: (I still don't get what's happening, but Ash.. You'd usually say something like, it's better to go with the flow, instead of going backwards and swimming against the current..)
Twortz: *She placed her hands behind her back and fastened her pace, walking by Lezard's side in a professional-like manner.* "So, about these unanswered questions."
Lezard: "Oh, yes."
----------
*Trevour, Luna and Nathan walked up a grassy slope, enjoying the strong cool breeze, which blew their hair to one side.*
Twenty-Three: *He guided Luna around small ditches in the hill, taking deep exhausted breaths.* "This is very temperamental."
Nathan: "Why don't you take your armour off?" *He noticed sweat drip off Trevour's face.*
Twenty-Three: "That's a sturdy idea, sir."
Luna: "You saved us."
Twenty-Three: *He paused, as if he mentally disagreed with Luna.* "I'm afraid to say, madam, but we aren't out of the clear yet."
Luna: "Ain't out of the clear, aye?" *She grunted on her breath.*
Nathan: *He walked on top of the hill and sighed in accomplishment, turning around to face the party.* "That was more exhausting than I thought."
Twenty-Three: "That's because this is a Purity Zone."
Luna: "Wat's a Purity Zone?"
Twenty-Three: "Well-"
Nathan: "Were you living under a rock? How do you not know anything?" *He spoke in a deep manly voice, raising an eyebrow at Luna.*
Luna: "I don't know half the shit you'se talk 'bout, aye!"
Twenty-Three: "Regardless. Purity Zones are certain areas where Neurons and Astragons don't mix."
Luna: "What are Newrongs and Astragongs."
Twenty-Three: "Err, it's Neurons and Astragons, heh heh." *He awkwardly chuckled and stood on top of the massive hill, allowing him to bend over and sigh.*
Nathan: (Man.. How can anyone not know what Neurons and Astragons are? I'm not even a Rostical User, and-)
Luna: "Gah-... I just don't know wat's happenin'." *She spoke with a frown, as if she had a headache.*
Twenty-Three: "Sorry, everyone-" *He took deep breaths and appeared sick, as if he was going to throw up.*
Nathan: *He looked annoyed and paranoid.* (I feel almost naked without my sword.)
Twenty-Three: *He turned around and sniffed, staring at an enormous castle in the distance.* "We've walked quite far."
Luna: "Amen to that." *She enthusiastically groaned in agreement.*
Twenty-Three: "You wouldn't think that something so beautiful could look so terrible inside."
Luna: "I agree."
Twenty-Three: "Wow, you do?" *He spoke with a smile and noticed Luna staring in the wrong direction in a blind-like manner.* "Oh.."
Nathan: *He sighed with a smile and looked away.* "Down there, it's a massive Purity Zone."
Twenty-Three: "Yes." *He turned back around and looked down the other side of the hill they walked up, staring at an enormous grassy plain.* "This is called The Great Divide."
Nathan: "Once you're in The Great Divide, they'll be no turning back."
Twenty-Three: "Sir?"
Nathan: "If you want, you can say we took you hostage." *He shrugged his shoulders, as if he couldn't think of anything else to say.*
Twenty-Three: "Much appreciated, my kind sir. I've decided to take this path."
Luna: (He talks similar to Ashton.. Such a goody-goody.) *She rolled her eyes in thought.*
Twenty-Three: "I'd like to ensure you two are out of harm's way."
Luna: "Pssht.." *She looked away, blinding staring out into space.*
Nathan: "You wouldn't happen to have a sword anywhere on you?"
Twenty-Three: "I'm afraid not, sir." *He patted his armour wear swords are usually kept.* "I haven't trained in captain classed abilities yet."
Nathan: *Trevour's words triggered a flashback of Zayden unsheathing a spear wrapped in a swirl of sparks.* (When.. Did that happen?)
Twenty-Three: *He slowed his breathing down, wiping sweat off his face.* (This walk.. This will be an unpleasant toll on all of us..)
Nathan: (So, a Rostical User inside the world's largest Purity Zone. Me, without a sword, and-) *He glanced at Luna.* (And a blind woman with an attitude problem of a raging Scoldrant.. Great..)
Luna: *She gently touched the swollen bags under her eyes, hissing in pain.* (They hurt..)
Nathan: "I'm not entirely sure your reasoning for helping us, but.. I'm in your debt."
Twenty-Three: "Heh heh, no need, sir. I-"
Nathan: *He shook his head, purposely stopping Trevour from continuing his sentence.* "I'm apparently Nathan, what is your name?"
Luna: (Great, and this guy acts like a knight or some shit.. The three of us are seriously completely different-)
Twenty-Three: "My name is Trevour. Trevour Meister."
Nathan: *He nodded his head and took a deep breath.* "Let's get out of this place?" *He sniffed, trying to hide his exhaustion.*
Trevour: *He nodded his head and looked at Luna.* "Shall we go, madam?"
Luna: "Wateva. Just take me to civilisation."
Trevour: "That could be arranged, madam." *He gently held Luna around the elbow and started to walk down the slope, causing his armour to rattle.*
