MISSION NAME: Neon Lights CLIENT: Citizens of Basalt CHARACTERS: open to 1 MISSION BRIEFING: Strange lights have been sighted around the ground below the floating city, appearing every night for the past week and flickering closer to the city each time. Some people have already investigated and their bodies were found the morning after. There's worry that whatever is causing this will find a way up to the city and cause even more chaos up there. Please investigate this strange phenomena and put an end to it before it gets worse. Sovereign had made his way down to the ground of the Basalt region, down from the floating town above that was chained down to the earth to prevent them from floating off. It had been a while since he had done a mission, and honestly wasn't looking forward to it. His guild didn't get many requests now, since everyone thinks Quatro Cerberus only take on missions involving murder and thievery, and the mission he was currently on was also not given to them. Instead, Sovereign found out about it himself, and saw the request posted in a more general area for wandering wizards separate from his guild. It saddened him, truly, but he knew that if he wanted the people's trust back then he would need to work for it.
People knew of the change in power within the guild, the death of William Pale and the guilds new successor, but few knew that it was Sovereign who took the position as the new guild master. People knew the name, but not the face. And nobody would have suspected a young man as innocent as he to be the leader of such a terrible group of maniacs.
But if he solved this mission, and made it known it was done by his guild, hopefully that would be the beginning of a new era. To wear a mask of joy and hope once more yet still let his members unleash their fury on what they please.
"Ah~" He smirked, tapping the hilt of his weapon before stepping out into the endless expanse of stone and earth. Jagged spires of rock tore out from the ground, chunks floating above the ground like helium balloons. Tee gravity in this area was low, and allowed Sovereign to almost glide with his steps. There was also a strange hum that came from the ground below him, perhaps due to the strange alteration in gravity and magic in this area.
"So the first sightings of these lights come from the east, from the mountains. I say we begin heading there now and we'll probably come across it soon, it's already getting dark." Sovereign spoke to his partner for this mission, and then began to swiftly leap across the earth towards their destination.

Lucky for her this one actually intrigued her beyond simple sadistic pleasures and opted instead to be both a mystery and possible murder. There were strange lights popping up at night and everyone who'd gone to investigate it ended up a corpse, if that didn't excite you she didn't know what did.
[break][break]
Dressed in a simple white sweater, distressed blue jeans, and a black leather jacket her red boots lightly tapped the ground with each step. Propelling her in her direction of choice, one of the things she loved most about the strange land, that gravity no longer bound her. Sovereign had decided they should begin their journey to the location where everything had happened before it got dark and she could agree.
[break][break]
It might give them an advantage over whatever was happening. Or they could wind up just as dead as everyone else, though with the two of them together she highly doubted it. They had just killed a competent mage together, this would likely be no issue for the two of them.
[break][break]
"Sounds like as good a plan as any. If it does turn out to be some type of beast this gravity situation could get tricky, so we'll have to come at it from separate sides." She suggested before also facing a fact that she might not have wanted to be true, but it was a possibility. "If this is just some stupid mage cult though, i'm killing them all for wasting my time..."

Low gravity always surprised him, most of the time he spent in this region he'd spend on the giant rock that the town was built upon, and thanks to some smart individuals, gravity there was totally fine. Not many people needed to come down to the ground, but when they did, it was either great fun to jump about or a total nuisance. There was one time he saw three wagons of food shipments float up, losing all their supplies at the hands of greedy criminals. When he thinks about it, most of those people are probably members of Quatro Cerberus now. "Stupid mage cult? Huh, I didn't think of that one." Sovereign smiled, his leaps through the air becoming much more fluid and larger. When he first moved to this town, he spent a lot of time honing his aerial movement and combat down here, and was now very good at manoeuvring even if his feet weren't on the ground. "I wonder why it killed those people though, whatever it is." He looked back, seeing the giant metal chains that anchored Basalt Town to the ground. "I'm sure we'll be fine though. I hope."

She couldn't exactly pin what was happening and couldn't exactly understand the motive but these days things didn't need a moment. A demon would know best, when it came to mindless slaughter there was no better joy. Her strides between each floating rock clean despite her dirty thoughts when it came to the matter, it sent a chill to her very womanhood.
[break][break]
"Whatever the reason, we'll find it and slaughter it. Same as usual." She assured him before he mentioned that he hoped they would be okay. In all honesty she wasn't exactly threatened by whatever presence was killing people, but one didn't have to know fear to know death.
[break][break]
Black hair streaking behind her lithe frame, Kiyomi figured she could use small streams of fire to improve her movement and speed in the air against the beast. She'd spent plenty of time doing it just to get around the light weighted area but never in an actual fight, so maybe now would be the perfect time to test it out. Not like she had anything to lose, besides maybe her life, but everyday was a wager of that sort.

"I just hope its something we can slaughteeeer!" He sang, spiralling through the air during one of his long jumps. "It's always a pain when the thing in question is all... Not exactly real. But hey, we might not even find it tonight." Eventually, the guild master and his member would make it to the edge of the mountain range, the closer they got to it, the louder the hum of gravity got, in fact, it was more of a muffled rumble that made his ears pop slightly. The pressure here was uncomfortable, but bearable. "They said the lights start from the top of the mountain then make their way down towards the chains of Basalt Town. I wonder why the lights haven't been seen to travel up the chains." He landed softly to the ground, taking a few small steps forwards and squinting up to the summit. "Probably no need for us to go too high up, we could just begin walking now and keep our eyes peeled!"

Had he actually taken what she said and turned it into a god awful little tune? The audacity! Not like she could seriously hurt him for doing such a thing but she didn't hesitate to scoff at the man in question.
[break][break]
Kiyomi listened as he explained that they might not even catch the thing tonight, and she had no intention of being out here for more than a day. Even though they were extremely close to their home it still was going to be way more bothersome than she needed it to be. "We'd better. I'm not spending more than one day on this task... even if I do enjoy a good mystery." The older woman reinforced with a lighter tone at the end. She's wasn't always harsh and to the point.
[break][break]
Reaching the edge of the mountain brought with it a sound that would likely pop a normal humans ears but for her it was just annoying. A loud hum, one she hadn't realized was growing despite the silence between the two of them through their banter.
[break][break]
Looking over to Sovereign as they landed side by side, Kiyomi paid attention to what he knew about the mission and raised a brow. "Something that can move down a mountain but can't climb a chain? Sound like some form of beast, possibly without arms." She added, trying to piece everything together as best she could.
[break][break]
"Sounds about right." Kiyomi responded to him moving beside him deeper into the territory of whatever had killed the townsfolk. As someone who'd slain the Queen Cerberus she was sure she could handle whatever was going to be thrown at them, so she held no fear in her mind, instead making sure to check their rear from time to time. "It's getting pretty dark, maybe this thing will come out soon."

Difficult to hear anything over the roar of magical gravity, Sovereign had to lean in a bit closer to understand what kiyomi was saying. Nodding in agreement, he'd start to head up the mountain side, which was easier when he could leap up great distances. "It has been showing up every night, so I'm sure we'll come across it." He would shout out, his feet landing on various rocks and floating boulders as he got higher and higher. "I think we should stop about here and wait." Wait he would, leaning against a large tree that was floating in the air, held barely to the mountain by its roots. A strong enough force could probably rip it out, but Sovereign also needed to stay attached to something or he may risk floating away too. Half an hour had passed when some signs of something stirred in the distance. It was a ways off, on the mountain to the side of them. There was definitely something glowing up there, flashing every few seconds and appearing further down the mountain each time it reappeared. Too far to see, it only meant that they'd have to get in closer. "Look, look!" He shouted, pointing over at the sighting, "Shall we intercept it on the mountain or return to the base? It seems to be moving quite fast..."

Not from the threat of falling to ones painful doom but rather given that if they weren't careful a wrong leap would lead them off to unforgiving heights, something she had no intention of experiencing. Controlling her distance carefully while following behind Sovereign she only stopped when he mentioned they should wait it out at their current altitude. Perfect for spotting whatever was killing folks.
[break][break]
The waiting dragged on for half an hour, time Kiyomi spent filing her black painted nails and looking out for whatever was on the loose before they eventually spotted it. Stretching her neck with a sigh of audible relief, not loud enough to pierce the humming noise that drowned the area, Kiyomi stood strong. Stretching and watching as blink after blink the lights were further from their starting position. Moving with haste unmatched by most people these days, which did cause a raised brow.
[break][break]
"Cutting it off at the base might be our best move," She added, leaping from the side of the mountain and summoning flames beneath her feet that would begin to propel her. Rocket boots in a time where they were nothing but a concept, Kiyomi was moving through the air at a much more progressive speed than a 'slow drift'. Sovereign could probably get there through his clones or something, or knowing him he might of rode on her back like she was his personal rocket ship. Something irritating most likely.
[break][break]
"but let's see if we can reach it before it gets off the mountain!"

"Oh that's such a good idea! You're so smart, Kiyoooo!" The boy cheered, throwing his hands up into the air and waving them around like a tree. "Quick, quick. We gotta get it now!" Sovereign bent his knees, his eyes narrowing in on the blinking lights like a hawk before pushing himself off the tree he was held onto. The initial jump wasn't as quick as Kiyomi, as he could not will the existence of flame from his feet, but he did have a helping hand, or few. One by one, his clones would appear out of thin air, perfectly aligned and grabbing a hold of the real Guild master, using the momentum of his jump to swing him round and hurl him forwards even more. It was like a dance, a series of twirls and jumps. It wouldn't be long for the two to get closer, in hot pursuit of whatever it was. Although they had got closer, and it was slightly clearer, all Sovereign could make out was light. He couldn't see a source of it, no person or creature, it was just a luminous glow that changed colour every now and then. "Almost there!" he cried out, the wind blowing against his face.

Of course she wasn't going to keep reminding him that she was a bad woman, if one wasn't privy to the information now they would learn on their own time. Maintaining her flaming feet she merely watched Sovereign propel himself with the aid of his clones as she'd estimated, at least her mind was still sharp.

Watching the man work was something interesting at least, but she wouldn't do it for long; increasing the flames at her feet. This of course would send her flying at a much faster speed just to make sure they could stop the glowing orb of ever changing color. Black leather and hair swaying in the wind wildly before squinting to try and make out better details on the beast.

She'd been around for a rather long time, and seen hordes of different creatures but this light... didn't ring a bell. What the hell was it? Some kind of ghost or a maybe a bundle of violent fairies or something? "Any idea what we're looking at?" Kiyomi questioned, soaring closer and the glow continued to move toward the foot of the mountain.
