| − | {{NeloAngelo|text=Hearing TSD's exclamation, the Order jumped in surprise.<br>"Are you kidding? Who - and how!?" Aeon said<br>TSD lead the order to Hexed's room, where the Knight's corpse is show lying in the floor, along with the scattered pages of books and records.<br>"He doesn't have any pulse, he's dead." Alain said as the inspected Hexed's dead body.<br>"Such a wound...who - or what pierced Hexed isn't something you see out of the ordinary." Feathin exclaimed.<br>"Wait...the wound..I can feel an intense surge of Light inside, and slowly fading...." Yuan said cautiously.<br>"Such a shame....to be killed by the Light" TSD said, while she shot a look at Yuan.<br>Noticing, Alain stood up, and reprimanded TSD.<br>"It isn't Yuan, TSD."<br>"That's what happened when Dark Cloud went out wandering alone as well."<br>"Don't be stupid. Yuan was with us the whole time Hexed was assaulted."<br>"Are you sure?" TSD snipped sarcastically.<br>"What was that?" Alain said with his tone rising.<br>"Stop this. This isn't helping us. First things first, Hexed is one of our ''more'' capable fighters, with his death, the Empire will surely be easier to target and destroy us. Speaking of which..." Faethin said, while looking at Padma.<br>"Don't look at me! I do not seek to kill Hexy! I'm innocent. Tell them! Aeon-"<br>"We should at least give Hexed a proper burial, not only as an ally in the battle, also as a friend." Aeon looked at the order convincingly, whereas the order nodded.<br>Carrying Hexed's corpse, the order buried Hexed near the cathedral, where the sun would shine to his grave. Yuan was chanting a blessing, with Faethin, along with Aeon is digging a grave for the fallen warrior.<br>"''Farewell my friend, you are indeed an invaluable ally, not just as a knight, also as a friend. Though you spirit may be gone, your memories shall always be with us. O great warrior, rest in peace.''"<br>"I've brought his weapons." Alain said, while taking the Gugnir and the shatter remains of the Excalibur with him.<br>"Rest in peace Hexed. Though we may not know who did this, your '''shall''' be avenged."<br>"Wait!" Yuan said while the others were taking the Excalibur.<br>"Let me see that sword!" Taking the blade of the Excalibur, Yuan jumped in surprise, as upon further inspection, she noticed that the crystal was gone.<br>"The crystal...it's gone!"<br>"What crystal?" Faethin asked.<br>"The core of Excalibur, it's gone...but, how, and why would someone knew that the core is what makes the Excalibur of the Light?"<br>Hey look at this, before Hexed's death, there's a manuscript he's been reading." Alain walked towards the order, and showed them pieces of the papers Hexed had been reading.}} |
||
| − | {{HexedTalk|text="Hexed was killed while reading these. Whoever killed him must not be wishing for this information to be known." Alain said grimly. "The diagrams show blueprints for an "Ultima Weapon"...}} |

| − | {{Yuanchosaan|time=07:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | |text="An Ultima Weapon?" queried SCM. "What is that?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | Alain shook his head. "I do not know...The pages are much tattered and bloodstained. I have never heard of such, although there were...rumours...of a store of ancient and dangerous documents kept in the church. Heretical knowledge, tales of wondrous lands and technologies, weapon designs too, perhaps." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "From what I can make out though, this device seems to be for transforming Light into Dark and-" Aeon squinted at the manuscript "Something else. Which is then used to create - I can't read it. This bit here though...it's a list of the things required. The Light and Dark of many mages, a catalyst of Balance, Espers of Light and Dark as a focus- This must be what Diablo is trying to do!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Then Hexed was murdered for reading this? But how could anyone have known?" TSD let her gaze slide over to Yuan again. ''One of us...'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | "That was not the only document there," Alain said. "Look, here's a book I found nearby. I think it dropped under his bed, the damage to it is not recent. "On the Nature of Light, Dark and Balance"..." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Yuan snapped her fingers and teleported the book out of his hands, suprising the Order. "This is an extremely rare and valuable book," she announced. "There are few, if any other copies here today. As the only academic, I think it is best if I keep it." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Why so keen to keep it, Yuan?" demanded TSD. "What if it contains clues to who murdered Hexed, or why there was a surge of Light within the wound?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "This book is an important treatise on Light and Dark, and of little practical use to us," replied Yuan calmly. "The information is likely to be esoteric or nonsensical to one who has ''not'' studied the uses of the Light, as I have done. It is also incredibly fragile, and needs special protection. Therefore, it stays with me. Do you wish to challenge me on this?" Without waiting for a reply, Yuan carefully cast a spell over it, and placed it in her bag. "The spell will not protect it inside the caverns, but there is little I can do about that." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Is that all then, Yuan? Anything other items of "academic interest" that you wish to protect?" asked Aeon, his voice dripping with sarcasm. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Let's go and check on Dark Cloud now," said SCM hurridly in the frosty silence that followed. "He may be awake, and I think it's in everyone's best wishes to leave as soon as possible." |
||
| − | ---- |
||
| − | Nelo stood on an outcropping of rock on the tablelands, searching the skies for an airship. From time to time he tossed a white gem from hand to hand, smiling slightly. ''Perfect. A better bargaining chip than I could ever have hoped for. I had thought only to have information to give...But now Hexed's death ''and'' this gem.'' He could hear the clamouring of a voice within the gem. ''Wait a moment. You'll be reunited soon...Perhaps. I wonder what Diablo will do when confronted with this choice?''}} |

| − | |||
| − | {{8bit|text= Padma pouted at her airship parked outside the monastery, then let it vanish and turned to Aeon. "Snookums, don't you want to ride in the airship? It shall make my... -our- traveling much easier if we fly in the ''Golden Fruit Version 2.0....''" Padma whined to Aeon, as the remainder of the Order completed packing with grim faces. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "We're not lending you our trust, no matter how honeyed your words are. We're leaving through the Elementine Caverns, and you're welcome to leave us at any time. And what's that?" Aeon pointed at Padma's belt, where a miniscule black device lay hidden by the garish magenta and golden silks that flowed around her waist. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "This ungainly little thing? Don't ask me; all I know that it clashes horribly with my outfit. It's built into my belt, but returning to more passionate and important matters - snookums, please, please let me take you aboard the ''Fruit''! You will be dazzled by its lavish interiors, its suave designs...." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "And the swarm of Imperial minions waiting for us when it docks at Tesendar. Sure. And don't call me 'snookums'". Aeon hoisted three burlap bags over his shoulder and walked towards SCM, who was packing nearby. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Padma rushed tearfully over to her flying machine, nearly knocking her butler over as she tore open the airship door. No one paid her any heed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Is it so wise to let her escaped with our secrets in hold?" Faethin asked. "The charming raven will ever return to whisper in its master's ear." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Isn't there some sort o' magic to keep an eye on 'er?" Nauk whispered furtively to Yuan and SCM. "Some sorta spy magic, or summat?" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "There is the Sight spell, which does act as a sort of magic eye that provides the caster a vision of the target's own experiences, no matter the distance." SCM replied. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Ensorcling Padma with it is futile," Yuan interjected in a dead voice. "Sight's incantion takes time, and the casting itself involves a great deal of flashing Light. This is hardly unnoticeable by the victim, who would promptly Dispel the magic." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Padma may be an airhead, but she isn't stupid." Aeon joined the conversation. "She wouldn't take well to us making a spy out of her." |
||
| − | |||
| − | At that moment, the General came rushing out of the ''Golden Fruit'', clad in an oversized azure jacket and ordering two parcel-laden servants to follow her. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What the hell are all those?" TSD growled at Padma, who flashed an innocent grin. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I couldn't miss the chance to bring along all my favorite delicacies that I stowed away for my little trip!" she warbled, opening a package's lid and triggering a pungent odor in the air. "Including broasted Behemoth steaks. But I'm afraid I can't have my little Imperial underlings tagging along with me on my Resistance vacation. Bad image, sorry." The twin servants shot exasperated glances at each other, but Padma continued: "Snookums will carry my morsels, won't you, Aeon? PILE IT ON HIM!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Wait - what the - you're joking -" Aeon's complaints were muffled as the butlers eagerly transferred their burden to him, ran back to the airship, and initiated the takeoff process. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Shall we be going, then?" Padma cooed as the ''Golden Fruit'' rose into the air and disappeared behind a layer of clouds. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I suppose we're prepared..." Faethin said dryly. "Odin said the entrance to the cavern was concealed amongst a prominent line of spruce, so that is where we strike out for." |
||
| − | |||
| − | One by one, they all departed the decaying monastery, none of them glancing back at the place where their leader had fallen and now lay peacefully under fields of stark white. Only Alain paused under the crumbling arch, staring at the massive bell tower. Then he turned and followed the rest of the Order into the unending mass of forest. |

| − | ---- |
||
| − | (I'll change the archive so Odin recommends that the party take the Cavern route, since the "going into town" suggestion was rejected.) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Also, this was kind of a rushed and awkward edit, since I was acting on Yuan's hint :P I wanted to add more, but it's kind of late. Hopefully people won't go through the Cavern really quickly, <small>because I wanted to begin a plot point concerning that location...</small>... hint. ^^}} |

| − | {{Faethin|time=07:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)|text=At the outskirts of the forest the Order made rest, after many hours of hard march. The night was about to fall and a chilly wind from the north forced them to lit a hasty fire with what little fir-wood they could easily find. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "I'm freezing!" said TSD, wrapping her cloak around her and sitting next to Aeon. "My components are gonna get spoiled if this wind keeps up!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Trust me," said Alain, stoically sitting with his legs crossed. "These woods are better left alone during the night." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "What is it with them, anyway?" asked Aeon. |
||
| − | |||
| − | "The Falae are cursed," Alain said. "The work of the ones I once called my brothers." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Everything is cursed," said Cloud, sulkily. "It's either the forest, the town, the monastery, hell, every place we've been to seems to be "cursed" in some way or another!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "It's called "War", kid," said SCM. "You'd best quiet down if you're just going to make a scene." |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Don't call me a kid, you...!" |
||
| − | |||
| − | "Peace!" cried Alain. "The last thing we need before these woods is strife amongst us.}} |

| − | {{SAtalk|text=Aeon truned over in his sleep and bumped his head on one of Padma's many trunks. "Stupid Padma and her stupid trunks," he muttered to him self, standing up to find a new place to sleep. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Truning himself around, he saw the woods and within them something strange. Standing in a small clearing about 100 feet from him was a woman, her hair clothes and skin completley white, with eyes with eyes of a deep, cold blue. Aeon wiped at his eye, thinking the strange person a hallucination from waking so early, but she was still there, with a sinister smile on her face. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | "This doesn't look good," Aeon said, his hand straying to his sword. As he did this, various other figures like the woman stepped out from behind the trees and began to advance with her. They were men and women, old and young, all completely white save their eyes. |

Guidelines
Read it before doing anything, or I'm using the old method in WoD again:
- The first rule of editing is that you do not talk about the story.
- READ PRECISELY BEFORE ADDING ANYTHING!!!!: Did you know how much loose ends you all make, and how much me, Adam, 8-bit and Yuan has to clean up for you guys!?
- SLOW DOWN!!!!: Don't rush the whole thing just because it's your starring time, did you know that you're basically cramming the whole filth into a person's throat!?
- NO ADD ELEMENTS!!!!!: Stop using web words, like SoB, or whatever, It makes the story crap and degrading!}}
- Remember: Wait for four rounds before having another turn. I got edit conflicted 10 times by the same 2 people. Maybe wait for several people to add to it? I'm asleep when the wiki's most active, and it's damn irritating to only edit the story once or twice a day whilst everyone has just added pages to it.
- Please read through your addition, spelling errors are irritating
- Try to focus on people other than your character. I know it's hard, but try.
- If you do a "MEANWHILE", get back to the other stuff before ending your comment.
- Don't talk about the story.
- Please read through the disscussion page before editing. There may be new things that should be included or avoided.
