"Pleased to meet you too." Arcturus shook that Zappa's hand as the roar of a dragon could be heard. "Would you teach me more about spatial warping and pinpoint gravitational shifting? You know, twisting a room and increasing the impact force directly before a hit?"
"I'm professor Alto, Alucard's lover an Arcturus' Type-3 teacher." Alto ignored the roar as he bent over and winked at her Zappa. "We make a triple A team. Anyways, would you like to join in one of our parties? I can make good times last forever. After all, my specialty is relative time manipulation. Arcturus specializes in gravity now, and you seem to work with space."

"Despite being a ghost, I'm not too sure how I feel about taking on a dragon." He tells Elia with a shrug. "Who knows, maybe it's a good thing."
---
Wha-Wha rolls her eyes as the birds fly away above. "Sheesh what's got him so rowdy? You'd think hell just broke loose."
"You know the dragon?" He ask curiously.
"It's a long story, but he's a nice guy. I hope Hamon didn't get up from the recovery bed and accidentally step on his toe or something."
---
"Sure thing, you're family now." Zappa told him with a quirky smile. "As long as being trained by a ghost doesn't spook you."
---
"Well when you steal from the elite for a living, it's hard to afford a specialty." He shrugs as a wave releases from him stopping time in the room. With a push of a generated force and shifting the center of gravity as well as the direction, he moves everyone a quarter inch to the left. As the wave recedes, he continues with Alto, "It also helps to be exposed to insane amounts of mana that my old body couldn't handle. Speaking of which, it'd be hard to get physical without being physical." Despite him saying this, the one with Nivian takes her into a gentle kiss.

"Well that ghost is my father in law, and I've been staying in a vampire's castle for the past five days a month after I found out I was royalty." Arcturus responded as he made strange gestures. "Alto also isn't very good at gravitational shifts too, so there's that."
---
"Well it seems you might be lying." Alto eyed Nivian as she spoke. "One of you is kissing Pearl's mother."

[The Angel of Plot Progression is getting paid today]
Alucard appeared atop the monastery with a wrathful visage over looking the small village near by. Raising one hand, he started a tremor under the village. A high wall made of the earth was raised from the ground to surround it. To ensure no one escaped, he cast portal blocking runes on the wall. "zi šag ĝal" as the words passed his lips, a swarm of armored hands broke through the ground. "The King's finally back!"
---
"Erm, well... it's complicated." He backed away from Alto a little as he tried to explain, "See I can act like a force and affect my surroundings, but I can't actually do 'it'." Despite saying this, the one with Nivian clearly had been aroused. Before anything else happened, Tafl flew above at 3/4's his maximum size. He landed, barely towering over the mountain as he peered in. He set a weakened Alucard down from his claw, by letting him slide down. "Oy, where is Dalthia!?" The dragon's voice booms down below with urgency.

"Huh? From what I know about this place, we're not to far from Dalthia right now. What's happening?"
I really am so close to home... But why does Tafl seem so worried? Is something wrong?

[We regret to announce that the Angel of Plot Progression has been temporarily layed off due to integration]
"Something bad..." he grumbles down towards them. He sets Van Halen down by letting him slide off his claw. The weakened Vampire uses the glowing blue sword as a crutch. Zappa is about to curse his name when he notices something.... off about this one.
"Alucard!? What in the- uhh- who- What the hell happened to you? Where's the evil shadows and glowing red eyes?" Van Halen looks up at Zappa with a kind smile, maybe even gratitude.
"It's a long story. But I have much to thank you for. You brought me back from the abyss. We.. have to.... hurry-" Van Halen began falling back with his entire body feeling drained.

"What do you mean!?" Arcturus shouted as Alto used a portal to catch the falling vampire. "What's happening to you!?"

"Heh, it's already happened." He falls back leaning on Alto for support. "I suppose the blame could be passed onto someone else, but truthfully, it's my fault. My desire got the better of me, and the silence I wished for gave birth to the stranger."
Before continuing, he looks to Elia. "Our former home is in danger. The Stranger wishes to reduce it to smoldering ashes. It's faint, but I can also tell he's sealed off portals in the nearby area. But not all hope is lost. Luckily we have a dragon to assist us."

"The...the castle. The monastery. But..., why would anyone want to destroy it? All that's left is a few people who worship Kryla, it's not ruled by a king like it was a thousand years ago!" Elia said, her voice becoming angrier as she continued, "We always kept to ourselves, so how could someone there have made an enemy who wants to destroy the monastery?! That place is about living in peace."
A peace I was taken from by force. A peace, one that I never wanted to leave behind.

"Is." Arcturus spoke to Elia as he breathed deeply. "It is, but was it always? We're dealing with a universe-knows how old vampire here!"

"It's been nearly a thousand years since it was the home of the Dalthian royal family. It's been a monastery ever since then. So if anything happened, it had to be before that. But the records of much of what happened during that time were lost ages ago...if they ever even existed," Elia said.

"As he says, it was not in your time. Ages have passed since the incident, but he still seeks to dominate the realm. Everyone of sufficient strength should climb aboard the dragon. I'll open a portal as close as possible, and if at all possible, we might manage to stop him." Alucard stood up from Alto arm's and reclaimed the glowing blue blade.
"7th time's a charm I suppose." Zappa said as he regrouped into one self next to Pearl.

"Everyone, aboard!" Arcturus shouted as he directed Pearl, Elia, Alto, and Zappa onto Tafl's back. "We're going to need everything we can take!"

"I have to go. That's my home, and those people accepted me, an outcast. And even more than that, they made me feel like family. If nothing else, we have to save them!"
Elia walked over to Tafl, as something weighed heavily on her mind. After debating if she should ask, she decided that she needed to do something. She was one of only two people that knew anything about the old castle, after all.
"Tafl, I want to know if you could let me go into the castle, to try to save as many as I can, and possibly some of the holy relics inside. Besides me, only Alucard knows about where everything is, and he's in no shape to take on this task. All I need is to be dropped off close enough to it, and for everyone to buy me a little time. Please?" Elia pleaded.

A brief explanation on the Nymph's tail:
While we still have not discovered what causes the tail to only exist in their water form nor what creates in in general, we have found several unique traits it possess. For one, it reacts to emotional impulses. If a Nymph is sad then the tail might wrap around herself for a hug. Alternatively it might just glow pink and try soothing her with telepathic pulses. If a Nymph is enraged the tail might boil furiously with her thus granting her the ability to shoot scalding waves. Unless it tries too cool her off in which case it glows lavender. If a Nymph is in a state of pleasure or is happy enough, and this is the strangest one yet, then the tail secretes a sweet smelling aphrodisiac. When applied to the skin it creates a sensation of pleasure rumored to be unmatched. It is for this reason that the men who encounter one and survive describe them as 'sex spirits' rather than water fae or Nymphs.

"You're not coming Mother?" Rhea ask in mild shock.
"It is not my place to interfere. The tides of this battle cannot be swayed by me regardless, but do be careful my daughter." She said before promptly giving her a hug.
"You alone? Ha, just yesterday you almost fell over healing a broken rib! But if you're fool hardy enough to venture in then I won't stop you. Hurry, onto my back!" Tafl lowered his neck to allow Elia an easier way to climb up. Not that she needed it as Jet, who was in a pirate captain's outfit, scooped her up and rode stone ocean onto his back. She dropped Elia off next to her as Rhea, Wha-Wha, Cream and Warrant joined everyone else. "Are you sure you're up for this Warrant?" Cream ask with concern. Warrant nods with certainty before replying,
"I can deal with him. Plus Pearl is going and she doesn't even have her Alma."
"But me and my daughter are together in this!" Zappa protested. "With our combined power and know-how we'll be unstoppable!" Their firey passion was emphasized in their eyes as they struck a pose. Pearl then pounced Arcturus switching to her water form. "Look honey I got my tail!" Her pride and joy was clearly visible in her smile as she slithered the tail underneath his tunic.

It's not my fault that healing magick is hard to use, and I have a very limited mana pool...
Elia knew it wouldn't help her to protest out loud. And she knew the others would understand that it was something beyond her control. Instead, she choose to think about what would happen once she was back at her old home.
Will the ask why I disappeared? Will they be mad, because I didn't even say goodbye...? No, I don't think so. But I should still prepare for anything...including seeing my home...seeing it... I just can't do it, I can't imagine it being destroyed! I have to believe, even if it's foolish, that it's still intact, just like I left it. And now...I'm ready to do everything I possibly can to save it.

"I seeah!" Arcturus bit his tongue as a sudden wave of pressure caused his legs to shake and provoked him to kiss Pearl, causing her to recall her tail.
After soon pushing away, he blushed before looking around sheepishly and climbing onto Tafl's back.

It seems that between the dragon and his counterpart, I managed to hide my presence well enough from that monster. Talk about close calls when he flew out, though... Heh...
Hamon steps out from his hiding spot behind a now half shattered stone pillar, making especially sure that he wasn't being watched. He quickly makes his way to the room he had been staying in, checking his things and producing a thick copper disc infused with Type-4 Magick. With one last look behind him he activates the piece of Jafetite machinery.
The portal fluxuates and crackles with incredible power, making Hamon hesitate to step inside, not that he'd ever admit it. Swallowing his fears and walking in, he falls out in a hazy back room.
"Eyyy, how it hangin' my bruddah from anuddah muddah!?" A heavy hand slaps Hamon on the back before he can even reorient himself. "Didna' expect yeh to be back so soon! How you be likin' da Warp Mine Ah made?"
"Cool stuff, Akbar." Hamon replies with a grin. "I don't suppose I could place an order for, oh say... A hundred?"
"I be happy to provide, mon!" Akbar laughs amicably. "But dat be a tall ordah, how you plannin' ta pay fo' all dat?"
"Leave that to me!" Hamon says, starting to run out. "Hey, I gotta' jet, but make sure they're ready to be picked up tonight!"
"Eh... Wha'!? Waidda' minute, bruddah, whatchu' tink I can do hyah!? I ainna' miracle... Ah drat, he's gone. Well, I better get to work."

"So that's what I'm dealing with. Whaddya' say, you scratch my back, I give you the rest of my gold?" Belinus folds his arms and frowns noticeably. "Well I hate to admit it, but there is a ring of plausibility to your story. No pun intended." He tells Hamon. "It'd be more believable if you left out the bit about the vampire beating himself up. But you do know what you're asking, right? I've done business with Emperor Titus before, but he's not exactly in my pocket." "He'll cooperate. He has to, 'Odessa' is involved." Hamon replies. "And my proof is right here. I put up with a lot of embarrassment to get it." Holding up the black spinel ring, Hamon shoots Belinus a cornering grin. "And you're sure it's actually her?" "She's the girl from the posters. I'm sure of it." Belinus strokes his temple annoyedly. "Aren't you supposed to be looking for a thief?" "Meh, I've got a week." Hamon replies. "Besides, I'm more worried about what a certain nymph would do to me if she thought I ran away." "That sounds highly uncharacteristic of you..." "Bah. You know there could be gold in it for the both of us... Or at least some excitement." Hell, that's why I swiped the ring in the first place..."And what if the bird doesn't want back into her royal cage?" Belinus asks. "Sounds like she wanted to be out of town." Hamon grimaces and looks off to the side, before giving a shrug that seems more bitter than anything. "That's her problem." Sighing, Belinus caves. "I'll see what I can do." ----- To the emperor, with great urgency.
I am writing to you on behalf of a new friend and client who has found vital information regarding your daughter, the lady Odessa. Enclosed is a precious ring which was taken from the lady as proof of the meeting. We request an audience with his majesty at the soonest time possible in order to report the whereabouts of the lady and offer assistance in her retrieval.
Many thanks,
Belinus Andratorix, Keltoi Mining co.

"Emperor Titus." A very sweaty and nervous messenger rushed up to the visibly shaken emperor. "I bring urgent news!"
"She's gone... Caesaria..." Titus muttered with reddened eyes. "She's left me again..."
"Sir, someone said she found her!" The messenger answered with slightly more confidence. "Here!"
the messenger sprinted up the stairs leading to Titus' throne, tripping once along the way, an handed him the notice from Belinus. Tears streamed down form Titus worn eyes as he read the message and stood up.
"Find this Belinus!" He shouted a he threw the letter on the ground. "Find him an bring him to me! He knows where she is! She's been found!"
