"L-LOOK OUT!" Comes a voice from above the group.
"I-M SORRY!" Is heard at the same time.
About two seconds later, Oliver and the klutz fall right on top of the table, an incredibly thick book open, with Oliver holding one half and the girl the other. A purple-black glow envelops the book, and Marianne, Oliver, The klutz, Roland, Quel, James, and Terra are sucked into a gate that appears above the book.
Five seconds later, it also sucks in Mors, almost as if it didn't see him.
---Biblos, archive of legends---
The group awakens in a grassy field, the sky a veritable clash of colours.
"I-is everyone alright?" Oliver says, rubbing the back of his head.
"Mm... Owwie." The klutz says, removing her face from the earth. "That hurt..."
"Well, I suppose you're an everybody. Very beautiful, actually. Tell me, what's your name?" Oliver says, scooting to her and giving her a look.
"I-it's... uh... you mean you don't remember?"
"I'm fairly certain I'd remember a face like yours."
Rather than be cheered up by this, the girl seems saddened, as if he hurt her. "It's Mina."
"Mina..." Shaking his head, he looks at the rest of the group. "Right, what about the rest of you?"

Quelthalas rises to his feet and examines himself for a moment before responding "I guess?".
He looks around for a few more seconds before seeing the skies vibrant array of color and thinks to himself how beautiful it was, but not knowing how the others might take the remark, he mutters aloud "the sky looks.....different?....What just happened......??!"

Marianne clutched her head, vision swirling. "I'm fine." She mumbled, shaking her head. She followed the gaze to the sky. "Did we really get sucked into a book?"

"Ah!" Terra yells. "My book! Where'd my book go!? Hard red wheat, but what variety!? Spring or fall!? SPRING OR FALL!?" She whirls around accusingly, pointing at Mina. "This is your fault, you klutz! TELL ME WHAT KIND OF WHEAT MAKES THE BEST SWEETROLLS! ...Er, wait... This isn't the library?"

James groggily picks himself up. "Are you okay Terra?" James tealizes his book is gone. He looks around and to his dismay it isn't near them. He sighed.
He once again offers his hand to Terra.

"Oh. Thank you, James." Terra takes his hand and rises. "Just a bit dazed, I'll be fine. Also annoyed, but that's neither here nor there. And yourself?"

"I'm okay",James replies flashing a slight smile to assure her of the fact. "Sorry about your book.It sounds like it was really important. "He examines their surroundings. It was strange. They had...teleported. Like a greek myth. He was confused. He was a little dazed too, by.... this.

Roland picked himself up off the ground and stood wobbling a bit. He looked around a bit noticing that everyone who had been near the table was there. He noticed that a few were looking up at the sky and tried to himself but was still dizzy. Gently and slowly he sat down and looked up again.
"Wow. I wonder what demons are fighting up there." He muttered remembering something his grandmother used to say when she looked at unfinished paintings.
The colors were beautiful but incredibly ominous as though they were only clashing to signify something to do with their arrival.

"Good to hear." Oliver says with a soft smile. "Now... where are we?" He stands up and looks around.
"Ooh, I know! We're in a book!" Mina helpfully responds, her grey tips shaking from side to side.
"How astute of you." Oliver deadpans.
Suddenly, before the groups' eyes, shades of people fade in, all black sillouettes. A voice comes from one of them, chuckling.
"Hmhmhmhm, with these seals placed at these hotspots, your magic will never return. You are at the last line!" A male voice says.
A female one responds. "Yeah! Even better, one of them's a book you'll never find! So ha!"
"You won't get away with this. So help us all, we will hunt them down to the end if the earth and break them all!" A deep male voice replies.
"Hmhmhmhm, it'll take way more than you. I can control space! I have them further flung than you could ever live!"
"Then our decendents will go after it! And theirs! And however many it takes!" The images fade, Mina standing in the crowd, attempting to poke a shadow. Another voice booms out:
"A seal has broken?! Do NOT let it happen again! My army will stop this! You will all perish!"
Suddenly, Mina glows and lights blast out from her as she collapses to the ground.
A golden light zips into Oliver.
A red light flies into Roland.
A grey light goes into Quelthalas
A blue light flies into Terra
A light blue one zooms into James
A purple spark flies into Marianne
And, after a few seconds of searching, a black one envelops Mors.
"Uh... What just happened?" Oliver says, rubbing the back of his neck.
Mina rolls her eyes and pulls his collar down. On the back of his neck was a small sun, orange and yellow. "Yay! You have a sun!"
"Uh... what."

Terra looks down at her arms and hands, but they seem normal. Her legs are mark-free as well. She turns away from the group and steals a quick peek down her dress. Nothing.
"Hey, James, can you take a look at my back?" she asks, oblivious to the blue water drop on her cheek.

James blushes abit. "There isn't a reason to. Your symbol thing is on your cheek. It's a water drop. "James says kinda awkwardly.
He decides to examine himself as well. His is in more plain view. A Light blue snowflake had appeared on the back of his left hand.
"Terra, what do you make of thode voices?They talked something about hunting and a lifeline."

"They also mentioned seals... Sealed magic, was it? And a seal in a book? ...But that last bit... Something about a seal breaking, and an army sent to stop it? I've got a bad feeling about... this..." Terra mutters, rubbing her cheek.
She suddenly points to Mina. "This is all your fault, you klutz! First you knock me out of my chair, then you drag us to some freaky-sky... place! And what was with that light show!?"

Marianne was probably the only one that wasn't checking herself for this strange mark. Even if she was disturbed by these events, there was no reason to panic. Either way, her bangs covered the purple full moon on her forehead.

Quelthalas getting his bearings straight, checks himself once over and see's nothing. He walks over to a small puddle to see his reflection and sure enough he eyes a grey dumbbell centered across his nose, much like a bandage for a broken nose might be.
He sighs and mutters to himself "atleast its centered I guess..."

After the lights had finished hitting their targets Roland felt a burning sensation around his left eye. He touched his face it didn't hurt, nor did it generate heat. That confused him, and made him worry slightly. He walked over to the same puddle Quelthalas was standing and moved his hand. A large flame shaped symbol covered the area around his eye.
"Well, that explains that. I wonder why my eye."

Mina walks a few feet away from the group and whistles. As everyone turns to her, she smiles at the group. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to lead you to your destiny!" As she says this, for a few seconds her eyes line up before going back to the slightly derped position they're normally in.
"Um... Mina, dear, do you think you could explain a little better?" Oliver says, flipping his collar back up.
"Fine, fine. You see, I was brought here to help you guys awaken and take on the seals. Ever... ever since I can remember, I was told to do this. Find Biblos and the blood, and get things to happen to break the seals! As we break the seals, magic will make more and more of a comeback. As we break the last one, everything will be exactly as it should be." She explains with a smile. "Ooh, but before we can get started, we need to make sure we can do it! So, who are you, what's your weapon, and try to make a symbol of power!" Mina tells.
"Ooh, but first I should introduce myself! Hi! I'm Mina! I like to help people and want the world restored! I can't use the magic, on account of me being a key to unlock everyone elses, but I can use a dagger to defend myself!" Her eyes shift a bit, and then she points at Oliver. "Your turn!"
"Uh... I'm Oliver. I mostly sing, but I can use my lute well enough... and it also manages to hide my pistol in it, so... Um... I like ladies and making people smile. It's good to be on this quest with such... lovely company!" Oliver says.
"Now, Ollie. I want you to focus really hard. Feel the energy from your mark flow into your hand... and shine!" Mina directs. "And when it's your turn, do the same thing!"
Oliver grunts, but within thirty seconds he's conjured up a ball of light. Panting, he collapses as it vanishes. "Next..." He utters, watching.

Marianne just stared slack-jawed at Mina's explanation. "Er, I'm a mercenary that likes to train and act. Name's Marianne." The mercenary stated, focusing on the foreign energy. A small sphere of purple light formed in her hands.
"Lightning, huh?"

Terra looks at Pretty Boy Oliver in shock. "A pistol!?" she thinks to herself.
"I'm... Terra... and I have no idea what's going on! I don't understand what all this about magic and seals is! I'm just a baker's daughter, I don't know how to fight, I just... Well, Dad taught me a few throws and kicks and whatnot..." Terra's panicked introduction grinds to a halt. "I... OK. You're telling me I can use magic now? Fine! That's fine!" She concentrates for several seconds, and a sphere of water begins to form in her palm. "I... WATER!? YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN MAKE WATER? WHAT KIND OF USELESS POWER IS THIS? I could already make water! All I had to do was spit and-"
The sphere falls from her hand, splashing against the ground and dampening her shoes. Terra sighs and hides her face in her hand, rubbing her temples.

James isn't sure whether or not to comfort Terra or not, so he kinda does?
James lifts Terra's chin, so she faces him. "It'll be okay. At least now we won't have to drink our own urine if we can't find water."James immediately mindslaps himself. He would normally handle any girl like a pro,but this was Terra, and their situation had confused him more than he let on.
He sighs stepping back from her. "James.Nice to meet you."He says to the group unenthusiastically.
He decides to try his hand(quite literally) at using his "magic". He thought. Deep and hard, until he found a place that he had never visited in his own mind before. He opened his eyes,not realizing he'd closed them. An orb of ice had materialized on his palm. He was dumbstruck for a moment,losing the his focus and causing the orb to fall to the ground and shatter.
It felt cold,but...in a good way..

Quelthalas is intrigued by the display of the others newfound power so he eagerly steps forward.
"I'm Quelthalas, I've been known to use a scythe from time to time..."
He trails his words off as he lifts his hand, he steadys it for a few moments as he fully focuses all his attention at the task at hand. Another few moments pass without anything happening. He can now feel the others eyes watching him, his discomfort and frustration grows with every second passing.
Just as he starts to give up, a small rock, a pebble really begins to float in the air for a few seconds before briskly falling back down.
A smirk comes across his face, always pleased to accomplish a new feat he thinks to himself; 'that was heavy for a pebble....'.
