---Llendar, Lorig's Capital---
A bright light erupts in the middle of an empty street, growing rapidly until the Elementalists all appear. Mina steps out cheerfully, while Oliver shakes his head, clearly disoriented.
"Ha ha! Well, Biblos wastes no time!" She cheers, patting the thick book from the library before putting it in a satchel she carries. "Now, how did that rhyme go? 'In the house of the president , the second seal shall be a resident'? Yeah, something like that. Oh right! These are yours." Mina reaches into the satchel and tosses two books at Roland and Terra. "Believe you'll need those? Bibby seems to think so!"
"Ugh... Whe-where are we?" Oliver asks with another shake of his head.
"Ah, right. We're in Lorig's capital, Llendar. Supposedly it was named after one of the heroes preceding us, but, y'know, that was all lost to history so... Right, Question: Does anybody need to recieve a weapon, or are we good to just knock on the President's door? The stuff you had at the library is with you, of course. Bibby's awesome like that."
Oliver checks himself over. No bruises, his coat is intact, and his lute and gun were safely in his hands. "I'm good. But uh... I don't quite think we can just knock on the door and be good to go. No way would anybody believe us, after all."
"Hm, yeah, I suppose it would seem a little farfetched. Anybody have any thoughts?" Mina asks the group.
Oliver shrugs. "My only concern is going about this. Anyone else?"

Terra catches the book and looks at the cover in surprise. She puts it away and runs over to Mina, embracing her inn a sisterly hug. "Ohmygosh, Mina, you brilliant so-an-sOHMYGODS! Mina!" Terra disengages herself, now holding Mina by the shoulders and shaking her back and forth. "This book was never properly checked out, you horse-headed ninny! This is stolen property, Mina! WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME STOLEN PROPERTY, MINA!? I AM NOT A CRIMINAL, MINA!"
After a few seconds of violent rocking, Terra seems satisfied. She clears her throat and releases the hapless Mina. "So, breaking into the President's place. I'm ready. I wouldn't mind changing into something a bit more practical than a sundress, but I can make it work if no one else needs anything."

Marianne looks all around, checking to make sure she still has her axe equipped. Satisfied that she does, she decided to ask a question. "Right, so, these seals, they are the things that have been suppressing magic in the world? And what exactly is the power to travel into books? In fact, what the hell is this in general?" She continued gruffly.

James decides not to mention he doesn't have any weapons. He knew some swordplay, but he was okay with his fists as well. Actually...
"Mina, What exactly are we doing? We need weapons so obviously we're not here for tea."

Mina's eyes wobble in a comical fashion even after Terra stops shaking her. Taking a moment to adjust, she then answers the questions.
"Well, The first Seal was Bibby here. He's a lost magitek artifact. I guess we had just enough in us to activate it's power. So, because we did that, we are now the people who must break the seals... whatever they are. And James, I actually WANT to talk with her, but the seal could be guarded, we don't know. But, enough questions! Let's go!" She says, marching forward.
"Ten gold says we'll get lost." Oliver says to the group.
A short time later...
"Huh. Well, enjoy fighting over the gold." Oliver says, tossing ten gold to the group.
"Ah, we're here! Welcome to the home of the president! Now, all we have to do is kno-" Mina's interrupted by a dagger flying by her hand. "Ah!"
The thrower scowls, in a uniform Marianne should instantly recognize as belonging to Keren. Specifically, he's in captain's duds. "By the order of Emperor Damian, you must perish!"
"Oh goody. Time to test your powers guys!" Mina says, removing daggers from her boots and uttering a battle cry, springing into action.
"Oh fantastic. Time to let loose." Oliver says, drawing his pistol from his lute. Concentrating, Oliver throws up a bright flash in his foe's face, causing him to stumble.
"Hm? So Damian speaks true... I must report back!" The captain says as he warps away, leaving eight soldiers left.
"Okay great! One for each! Let's have FUN!" Mina says wiyh a laugh.
James and Terra spot various weapons strewn about.

"Oh, yes, fun..." Terra mutters as one of the swordsmen step up to challenge her, a smirk on his face.
"N-no... please..." she begs, fear across her face, hands clutched to her chest, tears welling in her eyes. "I-I'm just some girl that was in the wrong place at the wrong time... I don't even know what's happening... Please..."
The soldier hesitates for just a second, and Terra unleashes the ball of water she was charging out of sight. "HA!" she yells, hurling it at his face.
In his surprise, the soldier throws his hand up to protect himself. The ball of water splashes against him harmlessly. He stands there, speechless for just a second, before he erupts into laughter. Terra starts carefully retreating, trying to avoid tripping on the many various weapons littering the ground, as he starts to menacingly advance on her. She forms another water ball and hurls it at his face. He lets it hit, chuckling at the pathetic attack.
Terra swears under her breath, hiding her next attack behind her back. The soldier holds his head forward, as if inviting her to throw another ball of water. He would have been prepared for that. He was not, however, prepared for Terra to throw Dr. Elijah's Complete Guide to Wheat, Wheat-Germ, and Wheat Products for Farmers, Bakers, and Merchants of all Skill Levels: The Unabridged Version, 3rd Edition, with a Forward by Mrs. Irene Gallant instead. The massive tome strikes him square in the face, and he staggers back in pain.
Terra takes the opportunity to dash forward and seize his sword hand with one hand, driving her palm into his nose with the other.
"Gah! Quit it with the face!" he yells as Terra presses her advantage. She punches the inside of his elbow, forcing his arm to fold in. She slips her right arm under his, grabbing the outside of his elbow and pushing down while pushing his wrist up. "Wha-?" he asks, as he suddenly finds his head rushing at the ground and his legs flipping through the air.
He thuds into the ground, Terra still clinging tight to his sword arm and standing over his prone body. She steps past his head, twisting his arm and keeping away from the blade. For good measure, she stomps on his shoulder.
"Drop the sword or I take the arm," she threatens.

A Swordsman appraoches. James realizes that a fist fight isn't doable. So he quickly grabs a spear from the ground. He didn't need an instruction manual for this.
James swung the long spear to have the metal tip collide with the sword's blade. They swung abit,before James made use of his longer reach and thrust the spear towards the guard. He blocked it.
James Continued thrusting and the guard parried his huts. James admitted that using a spear one-handed wasn't easy. But,when he felt the swordsman was adequately occupied,he pitched the iceball he'd been charging.
The man was going to block it,but James guarded it's path with the spear,and the ball shattered on impact to the mans face.
The man,off balanced, fell backwards,dropping his sword. James carried his spear and pinned the guard down,holding the guard's sword in his other hand for good measure.
The guard's face was terrified. James threw aside the spear, and dramatically held the blade above his head. The guard grimaced in fear of his death, all that came was a blunt hut that would break his nose,not end his life.
Exhausted,James looked to Terra. She had handled her opponent thoroughly.

"Alright, let's see what we can do here." Roland said calmly as he grinned at his opponent who was bearing down at him sword drawn. He slowly reached into his vest before releasing a volley of knives toward the soldier. Three hit home staggering the man but not dropping him the other two missed and stuck firmly into a wooden beam a few feet away.
The soldier was hurt but trained not to back down attacked in a broad cleaving strike. Roland quickly and nimbly stepped back to avoid the attack before snapping his fingers causing the cloth along the blades handles to burst into flame heating the blades to searing hot. After a moment the soldier dropped to the ground blacking out from the pain.

Marianne did not follow the same guidelines as her companions. At the sight of Keren uniforms, a scowl grew on her face. Her vision flared red as she hefted her battle axe over her right shoulder.
"Keren!" She snarled, zipping off at the first soldier. The soldier raised his sword, yet it did little to stop the powerful downward slash of the battle axe. The sword rung, and the soldier stumbled back as Marianne shifted forward, swinging the axe around in a roundabout way they embedded into his soldier, cutting deep into the flesh.
She swung again, this time causing a deep gash in his leg. Despite his scream, she continued, raising her bloodied battle axe to deliver the final blow to her opponent. "No mercy." She said coldly, preparing to bring it down.
