Sovereign was practically skipping now, overly happy for whatever reason that not even he was sure of. The flames danced around him, warming up his bones and letting him relax a little. "Oh this is so fun, you seem to know what you're doing!" He cheered her on, squeezing through the doors behind her and shutting it closed. "Ah, much cosier in here."

Sovereign wasn't really paying much attention to Kiyomi at the start, he quickly wondered off like a distracted child and started looking at all the trophies of severed monster heads scattered around the tavern. Wyverns, Yetis, Trolls were just a few of the beasts, the rest were just large bones belonging to creatures he didn't know about. 

While he was staring intently into the hollow sockets of monster skulls, Kiyomi was already starting to set fire to some poor man's clothes. The smell caught Sovereign's attention, and right after she mentioned his sanity, he'd giggle and jump up in the air. "Oh wow, Kiyomi! You're so good at this!"

Sovereign clapped a little, his grin growing larger as a few of the people inside looked at him with confusion and worry, not the slightest bit intimidated by the child. 

"Jeez, girl!" The guy in the woman's clutches said, "No need to get so fiery. Was only messing with you!"

With gritted teeth, he'd try to squirm away, but the grip was too tight and he barely moved. Glancing at the others in the tavern, he exchanged nervous looks when the topic of the woman was mentioned. "If you're talking about Chiyako, she's already left..."

Everyone quickly agreed with him, nodding their heads and looking at one another nervously. Sovereign tilted his head, watching how quick everyone was to respond to him. But how could she have left already? And where would she have gone?

'creak'

'creak'

There were footsteps on the floor above, Sovereign looked up quickly but everyone else seemed to ignore it, almost pretending like there was nothing there...

Kiyomi Tenma

A large grin appeared on his face upon seeing the woman head towards him, he practically jumped up on the spot with delight upon seeing her and threw his hands up in the air. "Yay! You're here!" He giggled in a child-like manner, definitely not exactly 'guild master' material. But looks can be deceiving, Kiyomi should know that.

"I'm so glad you made it! It's awfully cold up here, I know it can be a pain to reach this village." He began, the fluffy hood flopping over his head, "Oh dear."

Sovereign grabbed it and pulled it up a little, now starting to realise that his clothes were a little too big for him. But that was fine, in fact, he liked it that way. "Ummmm..." The guild master pondered for a moment, tapping his chin and looking around the village, "Ah, right! Let's find that woman."

With a big step forwards, he'd begin a forward march through the snow, his shoes crunching it under his weight.

Kiyomi Tenma

The more this battle ensued, the more Sovereign noticed just how much Koji wanted to cause harm to him. He didn't speak at all, hardly even reacted to anything Sovereign was saying. Every move was made with an intent to kill, and Sovereign loved it. It was a delight to his eyes.

The solid script words formed in the air and shot forwards, it slammed into the Sovereign on the balcony only to pin him against the wall and make the clone dissipate.

"Wrong one!"                    "Which one is real?!"

"Can't you find me?"

"Missed!"                      "You missed again!"

The voices were a harsh cacophony of mocking echoes within the cathedral walls, the Sovereign's darted around the guild hall like flickering embers, their bodies appearing and reappearing up the stairs, swinging from the chandelier, popping up behind Koji in mid-air. There were many of them, a swarm of annoying insects.

"Boo!" One of them screamed, attempting to slam their mace hard into Koji's leg and bring him to his knees.

"Family?" He giggled, or at least the Sovereign closest to Lis did anyway. He shook his head and smiled, "No, silly, it's just me!" Lifting a finger and pointing at them, he'd wag his finger as he counted, "Just one person, that's all."

Now he could cover more area, the Sovereign's would begin their bids. They'd raise their hands for pretty much anything that looked interesting, had a lot of worth or was potentially dangerous. At the moment, he had acquired a couple enchanted daggers, a tome of some sort, and a lacrima containing a supposed 'lost magic'.

"Of course you're needed. I can't do it on my own." He would reach out to pat Lis on the back to reassure her somewhat, "Even with all of me running around, my senses get a little... Scrambled sometimes. Always good to have at least one sane person on a mission. Ha!"

As they got further in, a couple people would begin to notice the abundance of young men that all looked exactly the same. Obviously there were lots of strange things going on, and people were trying to stay focused on the auction than the bidders, but it was something to be wary about. 

Lisabeth Godfrey

Sounds of roaring magic began to die down, the darkness that filled the area dissipating into nothing but a weaker residue of ethernano as it revealed Sovereign standing over an unconscious Mercy. He cocked his head to one side, and took a step towards her.

She was no longer accompanied by her wolf spirit, or any spirit for that matter. Extending a foot, he'd lightly kick her a couple times to see if she was okay. "Oh, looks like I win. No fun at all."

Sovereign would leave her out on the street, returning back inside the guildhall and acting as if nothing had even happened. With a quick nod and hand signal to his fellow guild members, they'd hoist Mercy into a merchant wagon, tucked away and hidden in the back to allow her to be transported far away from this town. Where she ended up would be a mystery.

end! <3          Mercy Godfrey

Sovereign had wondered how long it would take for this to happen. The grief and fury that Koji would feel upon hearing the news about his younger brother, and how long it would take for the feline to realise who did it. Obviously it was an easy conclusion to come to. Who else had qualms against such a passive group? Besides, Sovereign was sure to leave clues and crumbs behind.

He wanted Koji to know it was him, he wanted to know the pain of losing family, of losing someone you love.

Cathedral doors were blasted off its hinges, the sound of its weight colliding into the ground made everything tremble, the already broken chandelier above now swinging back and forth.

"Yes, it is I." Sovereign spoke calmly, standing at the other end of the cathedral with his back towards him. He was looking up at the stained glass windows, smiling at them as if Koji was no threat at all.

"You know, you could have just knocked."

Stuff goes here.

Shortly after Liz began her descent down the ladder, Sovereign would be quick to follow her and close the hatch behind him on his way down. Already he could hear the hustle and bustle of the underground market, muffled shouts and idle chitchat until he finally reached the bottom and entered the larger area. For something run by criminals for criminals, they did a good job at keeping everything presentable and organised.

"Hmmm, there does seem to be quite a lot of auctions doesn't there?" Sovereign agreed as he looked around at the various clusters of people making bids on items they probably had no knowledge on. "That's fine though!"

With a clap of his hands, he'd smile his largest smile as more figures began to come down the ladder. Perfect duplicates of Sovereign, equally as creepy and just as 'sane' as him. One by one they'd line up around him, before sticking their thumbs up and heading off, disappearing into the market quickly.

"Now we can do all of them." He snickered, holding his hand over his mouth as he did so. "I wanna go to the biiiig one!"

Spinning around, the real Sovereign began making his way to the larger stage where the biggest group was. Surely that meant it was the most popular place to be, right? They probably had all the goodies here.
