A command post situated just on the outskirts of Crocus, generally used by Rune Knights to be dispatched at a moments notice. It is also used to detain criminals who will then be transferred to prison.
The entire journey to the Crocus Council Office, Raine thought about all the things Octavia had said. He wanted to be furious with her. She had no right to tell that woman about him, about her thoughts on his history. The silly girl didn't know what she was talking about. She had no idea. And he had no intention of giving her that information either. However, she'd stopped him from being sent straight to prison, one of the things in life he truly feared. That fear was the reason he never had an issue taking a limb or two from the Rune Knights when they appeared. He was sure several of them held grudges or were aware of his actions, especially with the way he was being glared at. And then there was the celestial wizard's excuse for helping him. She didn't think he was a lost cause. Was she serious? Did Octavia really think he'd magically be able to become a model citizen? Not likely! He mulled over what kind of questions the councilwoman would ask. She'd given him more than one suspicious glance. She clearly knew something wasn't right. Would she ask about his past as well as Siren Curse? He wasn't sure how much he could really help her when it came to his guild. He generally stayed out of the way once he became ranked high enough to take the more high-paid jobs. He was shoved out of the carriage and marched to a room that was empty apart from a single table with a chair either side. One of the Rune Knights demanded he sit down. He simply smirked, kicking the chair against the wall and hopping into the table and laying across it, closing his eyes. He pretended to be napping until the guard left the room and locked the door. Though all of his magic was being nullified by the cuffs he wore, something at the back of his mind was starting to fight back. He felt a sudden pain behind his eye, like someone had stabbed him. He cried out and moved so suddenly he fell to the floor and gripped his head tightly, breathing through gritted teeth,"Not now,"he uttered,"Please, not now. I can't. They'll put me away. Just stay away,"he murmured seemingly to himself. The pain faded away and Raine breathed a shaky sigh of relief. But he was starting to feel sick and unsteady, a sign that one of his less desirable states was about to hit. Taking the only cover he could, he pressed himself into the corner of the room and pulled his knees up to his chest,"Why does this have to happen now?,"he whispered to himself, putting his forehead down and waiting for his heart rate to slow and await whoever would be arriving to question him. Today wasn't a good day for him.
OOC: sorry about the double quote, I changed a few things after Tea replies in Domus

Damien's day had been going as well as it could for what he was trying to do, he had gotten his hand on an invintation to the Royal Ball, convinced Alessandra's friend that he was some nobleman who had fallen in love with her, and remained unreconized despite the town destroying fight that happened only a week ago between Siren Curse and the combined efforts of Sabertooth and Fiary Tail. The stone mage was sure that people were looking for him but he held such a common appearance that he was easily able to slip away into crowds of people. His goal today was to keep it that way until he was able to get into the ball. However, something else came up. One of his guildmates had been captured and taken into custody. Typically Damien would left whoever it was to fend for theirself but because Siren Curse has already lost a good portion of their mages and the one captured was one of their S-Ranks he really didn't have much of a choice. Damien also feared what Silas would do if he found out that Damien had just let one of the guild's members go to prison, in part because it was a combination of Damien and Melanie's fault that the guild lost so many members. He need to keep his identity a secret, his magic wasn't as important considering he never showed the two girls what he could do. So Damien did was he could, before arriving he stole a cloak and a mask. The cloak would cover his scent from any type of tracking animal, it just wasn't strong enough to totally mask his scent from a dragonlslayer. His mask on the other hand no only hid his face but changed his voice to make him sound like a totally dfferent man. With these two areticles on him the stone mage was ready to break in.
It was a good thing that he had been well healed before ever showing up, before kicking down the door Damien used his sub magic to summon two bloodthirsty creatures. These two stormed the gates with a hunger for flesh, Damien following after with his blade drawn to fend off any others who came to attack him. The Demon that was summoned growled and howled as it rampaged down the halls, grabbing those who got to close as ribbing off their limbs with its teeth. Claws sunk into the soft bellies of some of the other guards as it screached during it's frenzy. The chains on its wings and tail rattled loudly as the creature bound down the halls. Its greyish fur colored crimson from the trail it had left but it was not alone in this look. The angel Damien had summoned looked a similar fasion. Blood stained its once white wings as the crimson ooze dripped from the gold colored armor and great sword. The angel had flown along side the demon, cutting down anyone who dared step in front of him. The creature thirsty for violence though the expression on its face never changed from the blance emotionless look. Damien on the other hand broke down every door he came to until at last reaching that of where Raine was at. "Come." The stone mage called out to his angel who sliced down the door with no issue. There Damien stood, the bottom of his cloak sopping in the blood of those who tried to stop him. "You seriously had to let yourself get caught." Damien spoke with irritation in his voice, behind him lay the lifeless bodies and blood stained walls of so many guardsmen. "Are you going to sit there or are you going to start moving?" Damien barked out at his guildmate, he had risked his own plan to come save this pethedic man from prison. Damien couldn't help but feel that Raine should be greatful towards him, but then again Damien had a big head about himself anyways.
OOC: Damien to the rescue! Also, meet Andrea's biological father!
Raine had lost track of how long he'd been in the corner of the room. He was trying to focus on calming his mind, doing breathing exercises and pulling back control. No one had shown up yet and he was starting to think that the councilwoman had lied. She had no intention of helping him. What was he going to do? He couldn't go to prison. Anything but that. He'd rather die. In the quiet of the room, a faint crash could be heard down the hallway but the blood mage didn't pay more than a moments notice to it. It couldn't be anything important. Or so he thought. As the crashes got louder, snarls and growls were added to the mix with screams of pain. That certainly got his attention. What was going on out there? Certainly something sinister was making its way through the building. He waited, listening to the sound of death as it got closer. Suddenly, a figure burst through the doors. A blood-covered angel broke the wood panels as if they were nothing but paper. A hooded figure followed. Raine knew that hood. He knew that mask,"Damien,"he uttered. For once he was actually happy to see the little s**t. Though that happiness didn't last with the stone mage's comment,"What the hell do you mean 'let myself get caught'?! I didn't hand myself over, you idiot,"he growled, pulling himself up straight,"I made a mistake. Not one I'll be making again any time soon. Got my damn arm blown apart by some nutjob in the arena,"he grumbled. His arm still ached from the reattachment. He followed the stone mage out of his holding room, down the hallways that were now stained with blood. Not good. There was no doubt he would be blamed for this. Guards brutally ripped apart with no sign of remorse or self-control. And with Damien being the sort of person to be interested in his own safety so it was likely he'd not take credit for the gore fest.

"Sure looks like you did!" Damien argued back "You should know when to run if you wish to remain free to do as you please and to kill who you want." He growled as the Stone Mage sent his angel back to the realm from where it came. "After the battle Siren Cruse had with the Fairy Tail-Sabertooth Combo we have been lacking in members and can't let anyone who makes dumb a** desitions going to prision! You are d**n lucky I was near by and that you are one of our S-ranks! I swear if saving you costs me my plan you will see fury like never before!" Damien kept his raoring anger down to a normal talking voice. He was not only notorious for picking fights with guild members but those weaker than him usually got beaten close to death. The Stone mage had unchecked anger which had only grown since his meeting with Rin months ago. From then all Damien had been raging on about was 'his Alessandra' and how she was always with one specific guy from her guild. The man was overly possesive of his blonde friend, even going to the extent of using people in any way possible to get information on her location. But from the last week he had been in hiding to recover from his wounds Damien had totally lost where Alessandra was located. The girl never stayed in one place for very long to being with but noramlly he was able to pull information, not it was like the girl just vanished. This resuled in his chosen plan, using her friend Princess Chloe to lure Alessandra into a highly populated area and giving her no other choice but to follow him quietly. However, this plan did not invlove Raineand so he didn't bother expaning any more on what the plan was he had mentioned in their conversation.
Damien stepped over the dead bodied of the guards who had fallen, his demon summon taking off to munch on any remaining guards who had not seen the mess leading from the door. Damien didn't care, he let his summon run off to create a bigger and bloodier mess. Even those who were not involved were met with a painful fate, some of the guards being chewed on while they were still alive. Fainted creams and calls fro help could be heard but it did not bother the Stone mage. He continued to walk, keeping the stolen cloak and mask on even after everyone in the area was dead. He couldn't risk it, he couldn't have his identity exposed. "I highly suggest you find Katashi to fix your mitake. You're probably already on their record now. I'm not going to help you any futher and if it wasn't for my fear of Silas I would have just let you here tied up with the bloody mess around you." Damien growled as he step through the door, turning away with his back to Raine. "Don't make any more dumb a** desitions! I resuced Melanie already because she had done something just as dome and almost got killed for it! I'm not saving anymore people! I have my own plans to finish and I certainly don't need a f**k up like you to mess them up for me!" The stone mage growled over his shoulder. He was still midly upset over having to carry Melanie away from the fight with the second council seat when he first paralized her before almost killing her. If it hadn't been for Rin, Alessandra, and Fleur letting their guard down Damien doubted he would have been able to grab Melanie like he had. That was his annoyance, but what hurt his pride the most was the fact Alessandra; the girl who always called weak and worthless; had faught back against him and did damage to him. Those who were lower rank and saw Damien's defeat dared not to mention it on the fact he would kill them if they did. His anger would continue to burn as he began to walk away from Raine "I hope this was a lesson Raine!" Damien roared at his fellow S-Rank as he walked away, not heading in any particular direction. He needed to ditch the blood stained clothing while the guards were still distracted by the summon.
OOC: I'm not going to have Damien exit just yet so feel free to bother him and/or follow him some more xD
Raine grit his teeth in annoyance. They'd been in each other's company for less than five minutes and Damien was already grinding on his nerves,"Run? With my arm hanging off and all my energy blasted out of me? I'd like to see you try that!"he growled,"You're one to talk about bad decisions. Whose fault is it that we're lacking in members in the first place? I sure as hell had nothing to do with it. I wasn't even in the area when it all happened but I distinctly remember your name being mentioned so don't start throwing your disapproval at me like some high and mighty being when there was almost no guild for there to be any members thanks to you and the brat,"the blood mage said, referring to Melanie. There wasn't many Siren Curse members he actually got along with. Damien and Melanie were close to the bottom of his list. He actually thought more of Octavia than he did of those two. Raine scoffed sarcastically at the stone mage's threat,"Oh, your fury? Hilarious. I couldn't care less about your plans as long as you don't pull another stunt to get us all killed or arrested."Raine tone stayed on an aggravated note. It irked him that of all people Damien had to be the one to 'rescue' him."How about being useful and getting these cuffs off me. They've nullified my magic and I'd quite like to have my abilities back,"he requested, holding up his bound wrists. As the blood mage stepped over severed limbs on the floor, he spied the summoned demon chomping on a semi-alive rune knight."Charming. You have no style when it comes to bloodshed,"he huffed. Personally, he preferred to turn a person into a blood-and-guts floor painting than leave body parts everywhere. Unrecognisable was far better, left the authorities guessing who was who. His golden eyes focused on the hooded figure once again when mention of records came to conversation,"I've always been on their records. I've put down enough of their men to have my own prosecution drawer let alone a single file so I'm pretty high on the threat list,"he said with a tone of pride and a smirk. He couldn't help but release a laugh as Damien continued his rant,"Ha, that brat deserves to be left where she fails. She's as bad as you if not worse and anything that happens, she had it coming,"he stated. Once again showing his distaste for some of the people he was forced to associate with through his guild. He'd never been a 'people person' but he always seemed to end up being around the most insufferable ones. His thought process was brought to a screeching halt at being called a f**k up,"Do you wanna go at it, buddy?! Take the cuffs off and I'll be ready, you little sh*t! I'll tear you a new one!"he bellowed, so furious his fists shook as they clenched. No. He had to stop. He couldn't let Damien wind him up like this. Not here anyway. A fight between them now would be pointless and waste escape time. The reinforcements would be on them before the battle was over. Instead, Raine settled for staring daggers at the back of the stone mage's hood."Yeah, my lesson is don't throw a counter punch at the new guild master of Fairy Tail. You'll lose a limb and not everyone has the ability to reattach like I do. Nor would you ever gain the sympathy of a celestial idiot who gets the healing done for you,"he stated, the idiot being Octavia and her plea for him to be saved. Feeling his inner wind-up merchant emerging, Raine smiled,"Nice get-up, by the way. You testing a neutral tone grim reaper cosplay? It's definitely better than looking at your face. Maybe your ex girlfriend will like you more this way. That hateful look you have plastered on your ugly mug all the time would never have got you a date with that stuck up b*t*h,"he said nonchalantly, knowing there was a good chance referring to the blonde girl he was obsessed with in such a way would get back at the stone mage for being rude to him.
OOC: SO SORRY FOR BEING RUDE ABOUT ALE I LOVE HER REALLY. Also, who's Katashi?

"You should have run before your arm was hanging off of you! Smart a**!" Damien quickly snapped back, "It's your fault that this happenened!" The stone mage had a tempure fit for a fire mage. Flared up quickly and continuted to burn as everything seemed to fuel it. Everything said would feed tha anger Damien harbored. "I didn't know the second seat would show up! Those Fairy Tail and Sabertooth mages are to cowardly to face Melanie and me alone! However, I have enough brains to know when I'm outmatched! Unlike you! Here you are in handcuffs looking like a poor animal in need of saving! I have no idea why Master Silas even holds value with you!" Damien roared with anger, as he argued with Raine. Damien wouldn't mention the private converstaion between him, Melanie, and Master Silas about having Katashi, a lower rank, keep them out of trouble and he certainly wouldn't mention that a Sabertooth mage took pitty on him and stopped the bleeding wounds Alessandra and Rin had so graciously given him. This was the reason why Damien worked alone, he got along with no one. "Oh ho, and you think you're so big and tough?! I think the only one who hold a record like that is you! The Magic Councle has your name and how many people you killed. As for Me, I am still unknown by them. Unlike you, I don't show my self off in a desprate attempt for attention." The dark haired male growled in anger, "I think I'll leave those on you. It's fitting. If you want help I already told you to find Katashi. I helped you enough for today." The older male sneared as he stopped to face his guildmate, why was he the only one close by?
"I'm sorry it's not up to your artistic standard, next time I'll make sure to meet your expectations." Damien let off laugh, sarcastic about everything but the statement 'next time.' The stone mage fully believed that Raine would get himself in yet another situation like this. He was lucky that he didn't get sent right to prision this go around. "I'm surprised that errogent head of your hasn't wound up on a pole already! The bigger the name you have the bigger the reward, though with how greedy and dumb you are you would probably turn yourself in before someone else could get to you!" Damien mocked, he would use as much as he knew about Raine to push his buttons and piss him off. This was probably the only time Damien would be able to go all out on the blood mage and not have to deal with retaliation. Not that Damien feared him but it was much easier to mock someone who only had words to use. The stone mage took cheap shots often and used whatever her could get his hands on, he never kept his word, and still somehow thought himself as the greatest humanbeing in the world. "I could woop your a** with one spell, I would happily beat that ugly mug of yours into the ground but that's not my job right now. I'm also smarter than you and know better than to get into a fight that will screw up my chances to grab Alessandra. You are not worth it." Damien shot back as he continued walking, "But if you want to get arrested again in the same day I would gladly knock you out and leave you here. This bloody mess does fit you! And no one will suspect a summon to have done all this." The man stated as he looked over his shoulder to the angry Raine, the blood covered demon meandering its way back to Damien as it chewed on the arm of one of the guards. "Begon." Damien stated to the clawed monster who tun to walk away with the arm still in its mouth. A black whole apeared not that far from the two mages, from it a foul smell would emenate and to there the demon would crawl in before the whole closed. He had used two of him advanced spells to clear out almost all the guards which left Damien feeling tired. He had gone in with guns blazing, not wanting to leave many survivors. The would left on the Magic Council would mean they would have to take time to recover allowing Siren Curse to do as they pleased. "If you learned your lesson then don't let it happen again. This was a one time thing and the next time you get caught you better pray that master Silas shows up. Melanie would not be as kind as I just was." He warned, Raine was not as important that the stone mage's goal and he didn't care what their guildmaster said. Raine would be on his own next time. And although the two had not been getting long Raine's last statement made the stone mage laugh. "Exgirlfriend? Even being called a girlfriend is too good of a title for her, let along being my girlfriend. No, she's nothing more than a toy trying to hide from it's owner. She isn't deserving of any sort of date or well treatment like that. Not after she ditched me and caused my mother's death. As for these clothes, they are to keep my face off of the wanted posters. After all, I have an invitation to a royal ball. I can't go letting your foolish actions mess that up." Damien's treatment of people in general was terrible, all of Sabertooth was his toy and he would break as many of them as possible to get the one he prized to tourter the most. Though Rin wase climing his way up the list of people Damien would love to tourter to death.
OOC: Nah it's cool xD Damien is rude to her all the time. Down right terrible person 100% of the time to her. Katashi is Kaya's villain character who is an A-Rank at Siren Curse. Also, shall they split up and exit or exit to some town together? Also Damien knows were Katashi is, just hasn't bothered sharing xD
Raine made a noise in the back of his throat that could have passed for a beast's snarl,"Funnily enough, I didn't foretell that it was going to happen. I was retaliating to an attack. I wasn't about to turn tail and scuttle into the shadows when posed with a challenge."The blood mage huffed in amusement at Damien's comment of knowing when he was outmatched,"Well, maybe if you had half a brain you'd have thought that there might be a chance of something like that happening and taking extra precautions to prevent it. You never would have ended up outmatched in the first place. And besides, I have a hard time believing the almighty Damien would run. I bet you fought until you couldn't stand and the reason you're here right now and not in jail or dead is because those light guild mages took pity on you in hopes of giving you a change of heart,"he mocked, making fun of both the stone mage and the too-good members of Fairy Tail, Sabertooth and the many other guilds who fought for stupid things like peace and justice,"I can tell you why our master gives me value. It's because I don't come up with dumbass ideas that cost everyone else. If I ******** up its generally only me that suffers with no collateral damage affecting the guild. Unlike you, I don't drag everyone else down my path of stupidity. That's why he likes me. Well, that, and my little secret,"Raine grinned. Master Silas was one of the only people in the world that knew about his true form. About the demon that lay within him, trying to claw its way out every waking moment. His grin didn't last very long. Damien was determined to piss him off."Oh, I am big and tough. No thinking required on that, luckily for you. Now get the cuffs off,"he demanded, but received no help,"What's the point in coming to my aid if you're gunna leave these on so everyone can see that I just broke out of incarceration? That defeats the object,"he reasoned with his guild mate,"And don't talk to me about being desperate until you take a nice long look in the mirror. How much will you do to get a hold of that blonde bimbo? Just about anything, I'm sure. I've never gotten so wound up about someone so surely out of the two of us, you're the more desperate,"he stated. Raine scoffed at the stone mage. Did he seriously think he'd make the same mistake twice?"Next time? Seriously? I've never been caught before now and I don't intend to let it happen again. The only head on a pole will be yours if you don't shut your fat mouth,"he threatened in a way that sounded as if it was casual conversation. Death threats between the two were nothing new."Pft, ugly. As if. Even in this state I'd easily pick up a girl,"he said, glancing at himself in the reflection of a window. He was covered in his own blood and there was dirt in his hair from the arena floor but his chiselled jaw and flawless skin was still obvious. He hummed a laugh at yet another mention of Alessandra, ignoring Damien's threat and pretending not to care that he'd leave him to be blamed for this mess. In reality he was quite worried of that right now, but he was excellent at hiding his negative emotions,"You? Smart? There's that wishful thinking of yours again."His small laugh turned into a more jolly chuckle at the mention of Melanie and her snide ways,"Melanie can go f**k herself. The day I need her help will be the day I'd rather have my head on a pole."The blood mage dramatically rolled his eyes. Damien was so feisty about Alessandra. He was obsessed with this so-called 'toy'. And so much hatred surrounding her. Maybe he needed therapy. As they approached the exit of the building, Raine made one last attempt to gain a final piece of help,"Come on, man. Take them off,"he requested with a slightly more gentle tone, once again lifting his bound hands.

❖ Patiently awaiting the return of her boss, Bethany had tucked herself away into a small room where she was hard at work. Currently, she was pulling up any information she could find on this Raine person. There was a gruesome profile under Raine Valentine that made the poor girl feel uneasy. Several counts of murder and assault in vivid detail- enough to make her gag. Was this really the same guy? Was someone so dangerous really going to be rehabilitated? Pushing her glasses up, her doubts of this working out were steadily increasing. Perhaps if the Chairwoman saw this for herself, she'd also express some concern over this man. From her point of view, this guy deserved a cold cell and several restraints.
The sudden commotion heard outside the room had caused Bethany to squeak in surprise. Were the Rune Knights roughhousing again? With a grumble, the woman went to the door and abruptly yanked it open. "M-Miss Rei would be disappointed to see you were-" she started to say but stopped when she saw the viscera in the hallway. She couldn't look away from the horrifying sight, the gore making her weak in the knees as she fell. Her glasses shifted to the bridge of her nose, though her blurred vision did nothing to spare her. Fortunately, a lone Rune Knight was passing by and quickly came to her aide. "Miss Langdon? Are you okay?" he addressed her. Bethany had lost her voice, resorting to mumbles and head nods. "You're gonna be alright! Come, follow me!" She was helped off the floor and lead down the hall toward the front entrance where more gore was there to welcome them. Just before they reached the exit, a hellish stone hound had impeded them. "Miss Langdon, run! I'll- GAAAAHHH!!!" the knight screamed as he was pounced upon. Too afraid to move forward, Bethany ran backward, taking cover underneath the front desk. There she remained, listening to the brave soldiers falling to the enemy, one by one. The only thing she could think was that Raine had somehow escaped and was now trying to kill everyone. The aide used her Archive, desperately trying to contact her boss when she heard it get quiet. Peering over the counter, Bethany saw two people heading to the door. One being Raine, still in shackles and the other a mysterious, cloaked person. Now she understood- this was a "rescue" situation. Unfortunately, most of their conversation was missed, but it seemed like they were...arguing? And about to get away! 'What do I do? What do I do? What do I-' Suddenly, Bethany grabbed the nearest thing she could find and threw it before ducking back behind the counter. That something was a book that was on route to the back of Damien's head.
۞【.TITLE.】【Magic Council Assistant】 ۞【.RANK.】【-】 ۞【.MAIN MAGIC.】【Archive】 ۞【.CURRENT THEME.】【-】
"A challenge or a death wish?" Damien shot back, it was clear these two were not going to get alone, but then again Damien didn't get along with anyone. It was why he always worked alone and held a violent record amongst even the members of their own guild. Damien was ill fit to be with anyone whether it be romantic or just as for a job. The older male was far to willing just to use people for his own gain before tossing them aside, regardless of how they felt. To Damien it was all about Damien. "Oh," Damien laughed, his tone underlying with anger, "You are dead wrong. I at least had enough of a brain to get myself out of a position that would have landed me here. Not needing to be saved like some pathedic princess. You're dumb as they come! I mean look at you! Weak and wallowing around while you wait for someone to save you. A disgrace. It doesn't matter if you have a pretty face if you have don't have a brain. You think someone will look at you and think 'Oh what a great face, I can't kill this person because of that face.' cause judging by the fact you had your arm blown off no one thinks of you like that." The stone mage growled as he was preparing to leave. "How many times do I have to tell you. I'm not removing them, these will at least force you to behave until you can find Katashi. Then you can be his problem! Not mine." Damien was not giving in no matter what. If Raine wanted to get the stupid these off then he should have never let them be put on him in the first place. "Please. She has a crime to pay for and she doesn't want to reconize it. I will do everything in my power to make her feel how she had made me feel and then some. Starting with that d**n Rin she's always hanging around." Damien snarled and hissed at the three letter name. Like it was poison to his mouth. "I'm not despreate. But I will go to any length in order to make my goal a reality. Dont get the two ideas confused." Damien would state as he gave angered glare towards Raine from behind the mask.
As Damien neared the door something of weight would hit the back of his head, causing the man to stumble. At this point Damien was burning as he sharply turned around to scan the area, his eyes coming down tot he book at his feet. "Wherever you are you better come out. Or I'll hunt you down. And I like a good hunt." Damien would begin to walk away from the door, fueled by his boiling temper. The stone mage wanted to summon his hellhoud to seek out the person who threw the book. No one else could have and he would have heard Raine's voice distance from him if he went to grab a book. "Come out, come out wherever you are!" The dark mage called in a song like voice, a creepy ring to him displayed his illintent to the person. Heavy footsteps came closer to the desk before stopping. His eyes scanned around but he saw no one. He wasn't going to bother finding the person if they weren't going to show, he was getting on a time crunch. "I'll come back and find you... whoever you are. I'll keep the book too... to sniff you out after nightfall." Damien called out to the person who threw the book before quickly storming back to the door. "Go whatever way you please. I'm done here." The older male would state as he flung the doors open and proceeded to walk out. He would travel a distance, once he was out of sight and sound of the Council building Damine would remove the cloak and mask. He would use very little of his magic to quickly turn into his fire elemental form in order to burn the two stolen articles and tossing the flaming pile on the ground. After doing so Damien would change back into his normal sell, uncloaked and unmasked. Heading to anyplace, as long as it wasn't the capital. [Damien Exits]
Raine shrugged,"Probably a bit of both to be honest but what's life without the thrill of a close call every once in a while?"he asked rhetorically. He smiled,"Aww, you think I'm a princess? How nice,"he chuckled,"Pft, I'm plenty smart,"he added, grumbling the sentence under his breath. He didn't like his intelligence being insulted by this cretin.
The blood mage could feel his muscles tense in anger,"If I get noticed with these and get arrested a second time because someone recognises that I'm an escapee, I'm striking a deal and handing you over in exchange for immunity, you little p***k,"he snarled. Raine scoffed,"You'll do everything in your power to punish her and will constantly hunt her down until you're satisfied... that's desperate. At best you're a stalker."
He continued down the hallway quietly, watching his expensive shoes step through the blood puddles on the floor. Damien's sudden stumble drew his attention back up again. The stone mage's body language was tense, coiled up in a fury. Looking at the ground, Raine spotted a heavy book laying on the floor. Someone was here. The thought was confirmed when Damien called out. The blood mage would have laughed were there not a sudden clench in his chest. SOMEONE WAS HERE. That means they could see this. They could see the blood everywhere and the obvious signs of magic usage. And he couldn't have looked more guilty right now. He could only hope that whoever had spotted them, had seen that he was still wearing the nullifying cuffs. He prayed for it. Damien had given up calling out for the unknown person as there wasn't so much as a sound to indicate where they were. Instead, he addressed Raine abruptly and stormed out of the door. Now what? He couldn't believe the little s**t had actually left him with the cuffs on! He was actually starting to panic. He made his way toward the door, holding his arms close to him to hide the restraints. Before leaving, he turned to the hallway and called out,"Whoever you are in here, this... this massacre... it wasn't me. I swear, I planned to stay and cooperate but no one will believe me if I do now. Don't follow me if you want to live. Stay hidden."His voice had a tone of regret and to the trained ear, he could have almost been begging for them to stay. To tell someone it wasn't him. Hurrying into town, Raine stuck to the shadows. Where was he even going to start with looking for Katashi? Where would be the most likely place?"Dammit, I'm just gunna have to search everywhere...,"he groaned. Continuing on, the blood mage made his way through the city, hoping to find his guild mate so he could get free and take the next step in his plan. Find Octavia.

❖ Bethany listened with held breath, hands over her mouth to ensure she wouldn't be heard. What did she do?! If only ‘The Prince and Me’ was heavier, it might have knocked him out! She just wanted to stop him from getting away, but now he was going to kill her too! Or at least she thought. Apparently, he opted not to come looking for her. The girl's eyes welled with tears as she heard the cloaked man grumble and turn away. But he would not leave before issuing a threat to her life - that he would find and kill her later tonight. And then he left. Bethany relaxed only slightly, yet was still too terrified to move. Raine spoke up now, pleading his innocence yet was still intent on fleeing the scene. If not the other guy, she surely could've stopped the redhead who was still restrained. Unfortunately, the council assistant could not find the strength... While the detainee fled, she sat there beneath the desk, fearing for her life. There she waited until her boss would at last arrive.
Rei approached the building with Marii not far behind her, the dread of the Galaxia Mage weighing her down. But for just a moment, another unsettling feeling crept up on her as she laid eyes on the office. It was far too quiet and there was a lack of...life. Something was wrong. "Marii..." she whispered the commander's name, alerting her as they now stood before the entrance. Rei bravely and cautiously stepped inside first, an act she would quickly come to regret. The sight and smell of blood, let alone the mangled bodies and viscera that covered the floors; it was a sight the woman was not prepared for. She gasped, staggering backwards with eyes wide in disbelief from what she bared witness to. Unfortunately, when it came to these things, Rei had a very weak stomach. From the incident she endured in her youth, she couldn't stand the sight or smell of blood. But this was on another scale! Gasping for air, she tried to catch her own breath as she started hyperventilating.
xxBe strong and all will be alright. xxYou are the aria itself. xxShine out!
xxx"What say have you, Lady Mikabo... Oh no." The sound of blood dripping from the ceiling and walls had been drowned-out by the rhythmic, panicked, gasps of the Councilwoman. Marii bit her tongue and swallowed her rage; she saw the heads of citizens she had vowed to protect and men she had fought beside, marinate in their own blood and guts. All the knight commander could do was get the Councilwoman to safety, away from her blatant trigger. Without hesitation, Marii would quietly hum as she swiftly clasped her hand over Rei's eyes, and gently escorted her out the room. This humming would escalate into singing that progressively grew louder, and Marii had successfully managed to drag Rei into the hallway, where she would continue to sing songs that once soothed her as a child, "Your melody still remains in this room, and it rings... Star-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah..."
She too wished to express her distress of the situation, but with Rei temporarily out of commission, Marii had to swallow her emotions and formally put all of Crocus on lock down until the situation is thoroughly handled. After dispatching remaining knights to secure every landmark within Corcus, Marii contacted the nearest clean-up facility to properly dispose of the bodies and have them arranged for identification. All the while, she kept her composure; however, her heart had broken every time she had to reiterate her story. Once she had finished, she was more available to console Rei should she need it, "Lady Mikaboshi, breathe... Please, take a break for a few days; I will see to it that the office is... Wait... Where is Bethany? Bethany?!?!" Marii would part from Rei and make her way back into the room, looking around to see if Bethany had been one of the causalities. "Please be okay, please be okay..."
Meanwhile, Junior had been outside with Rei, looking up at the woman with little words that could help her situation.

❖ Thankfully Marii was here, the woman know just what to do when Rei herself had lost her composure. Quickly ushered out, eyes shielded from the horrifying sight and soothing melodies distracted her long enough for her to move her feet with the commander. But her mind was not on the many men and woman who were slaughtered just now. In her head, she was reliving that night... It may have been an accident, but when she had gouged out her sister's eye, it shook her to her core. How could anyone willingly do...this? The sweet commander had to leave her once she got her out of the sight of the massacre; she had to go help where she could, understandably. The smell of blood had stained her nostrils and the sight of it all was hard pressed in her mind. Once she left, Rei waited a moment before staggering outside for fresh air. There she stood idly as more Rune Knights appeared to walk into the scene. Some of them stopped to check on the Chairwoman, but she was unresponsive. Marii would soon rejoin her, checking in on her as well. Getting her labored breathing under control was her goal, but again, the knight had to leave once again. It was at that moment that Rei was reminded that she sent Bethany here to manage the dark mage. 'If...If something happened to Bethany...' the celestial wizard gasped, falling to her knees. Her breathing took a sudden turn for the worst, as she feared for her young assistant's life. Before long, two blinding lights would appear in the form of Celestial Gates, as if in response to Rei's distress. Out of one stepped Vulpecula the Fox, a brunette woman with a fox tail and ears; the other, Sagitta the Arrow, a blonde woman with long and pointy ears. "There, see? I told you something was wrong!" the elven woman told her vulpine friend. Her ears seemed to twitch at this, followed by an exaggerated sigh. "Okay, you were right... Rei? Come, let's sit down over here" the fox spirit insisted, bringing her to sit beneath a tree. The woman's breathing was still labored; however, Vulpecula was helping her get back down to normal. Rei closed her eyes and rested her head on the fox's shoulder when Junior came over. Sagitta on the other hand opted to scope out the area and see what was going on.
The archer ran into the building, eyes widening when she saw the gore for herself. "No wonder she was like that..." she mumbled, walking up behind Marii. Upon seeing the commander, the blonde straightened her posture and gave her a firm salute. "Sagitta the Arrow, at your service ma'am!" Her posture would then slouch a bit as she relaxed and slowly scanned the room. "...Are we under attack? My bow is at the ready!" the spirit cried, drawing said bow faster than she could utter the words. Hearing those familiar voices, Bethany slowly got up the courage to move. She said nothing but peered over the counter while still on her knees, literally shaking from fright. "M-Miss Marii? And Sagitta? Is that you?" she mumbled, barely able to see with her fogged up glasses.
xxBe strong and all will be alright. xxYou are the aria itself. xxShine out!
xxxHad Vulpecula and Sagitta not intervened upon Rei's distress, Marii would not have known what to do; it was bad enough that Bethany had vanished in the midst of the chaos, but Rei's panic-attack had taken a turn for the worse. "We are not presently under attack, but I appreciate your enthusiasm," the woman Sagitta, her tone growing a tad calmed despite her worry. No soon after, Marii would turn to the familiar voice of someone who had supposedly risen from the grave, or so Marii thought. "Oh, Bethany!" Marii would speed walk pass the gore, and stop short of the desk. Her gaze softened as she faced Bethany; while the young assistant was shaken, she was alive and presumably well. "Come, let us escort you out of here... And we will have you cleaned up."
