Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just South East of Shirotsume Town sits Hakobe Mountain, a mountain covered in snow with dangerous creatures, avalanches, and mythical rumors.

Most people come here for missions or training but sometimes its also because they are lost. Adventures beware!

✧▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬✧

✧Snowy areas were excellent places for training or more specifically: the cold was a excellent temperature to train and what place was colder than Mt. Hakobe. Sure he could have gone somewhere in Alvarez or perhaps ask Marii if there was a spell in her arsenal that could simulate a cold environment, but he was feeling home sick. While his allegiance was with Alvarez and its king, while he necessarily wouldn't mind fighting this country in the name of the debt to his King, he still had some fondness for Fiore. It was where he grew up with his siblings, bonded with his twin, and met his Master and student siblings. He had many fond memories he could look back upon while in this country, but he was not sure how long before he and the other Shields would be given the order to attack. While the King appeared to not have any intent to do so, any country could break out into war with another, it was human nature after all. There was no helping what may or may not happen in the future, Urago was not a man of politics, he was a man of action and when times came to fight, he acted on it. There was one person in this country he would enjoy having a serious fight with, whether or not she improved herself since they last met. To his pleasant surprise that very woman was here. Elreida Strauss, a mighty mage that Urago thoroughly enjoyed doing battle with, it appeared he would get a good workout in this climate with her here. “Yo, Elfreida..” He called out to her, approaching the woman without any worry at all, his body full of openings she may or may not be able to exploit. This was not because he was underestimating her, but rather he welcomed her to fight him right from the get go, a good and proper greeting between them should be done with their fists, they could save the formalities for later.

To Elf the sight of Urago would look as if he twisted in towards the ball thrown between them before just vanishing. Urago would be teleported 200 miles to the east within the mountains. Far enough away from the two to have a difficult time finding each other. There were no prints that indicated where Urago was sent, there was nothing written down that stated how far away. The two were separated as if they were never together in the first place.


Where Elfrieda stood, the ball would now sit in the snow, still and used up. Whatever was storied in it no longer existed and no longer posed any sort of threat. In the distance a girl lurked, scanning the area for at least a sign of a person. She looked no more than ten or eleven. Wondering around the snow she looked as if she was searching from someone or something. She carried a small bag with her, she was instructed that there was a mage this way and thus she came to seek this person out. She had a mission to do, one that paid her rather well and she was determined to see it through.


Where Urago stood, it looked vastly different from where he was originally standing. In addition there was nothing indicating which way was north or south or even what direction he was sent. There footprint in the snow lead off in a direction down the mountain and into the snowy valley. In the valley sat a young man who looked rather lost. Indeed the young mas was actually lost, he wasn't from Fiore and he had never set foot in the mountains of Fiore. His informant had told him that the mountains often had mages in them for various reasons. Either to train or for a mission, however he had seen none so far and had wandered to deep into the mountains. With his old footsteps covered in snow it was hard for him to find his way back so there on a rock he sat. Waiting for him comrades to either come find him or for him to come across a mage.

✧▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬✧

✧This guy was...Incredibly awkward and kind of annoying. Urago could understand the stutter if it was from the cold, but was it really that cold? He looked well dressed for the weather and appeared dry as well. It could also be a condition, in which case he would feel bad for thinking of him as annoying. But there was the third possibility, he was afraid; while there was certainly the chance he became this scared from the fact Urago held an imposing figure, but the guy wasn't monstrous or some kind of demihuman or nonhuman, he was one hundred percent human. Then could he be the one who threw that lacrimal and was expecting to have captured Elfreida instead? His stutter came from the idea he had pulled the wrong tiger tail and was having issue with how he was going to deal with it. There was also the fact that if he was lost, he shouldn't sound as scared to potentially find someone who could get him off a mountain. Already Urago was leaning towards the option of kicking his a** without a single question, but that could do more harm than good. If he was indeed the one responsible for all of this happening, Urago would need to be one hundred percent certain. “Your lost then…? Yeah I can help...But be careful, I saw something weird earlier...It looked like the air twisted about and then someone suddenly appeared...I couldn’t get a good look at them but they ran off, towards a cave I think...” He wanted to to lay out some bait for this supposedly lost traveler. If he truly was here and wanted to get off, he shouldn’t be interested in this information; at the very least it should give him haste on leaving the mountain. If it is him, I’ll just have to kick his a** He thought to himself before turning his back to the boy and started walking. Urago moved at a pace that was light and slow enough for the young man to keep close and catch up, but more importantly ensure the chance he bites on the bait the large mage set. Unfortunately, Urago couldn’t just chalk this young man up as a weakling, as even they have the ability to topple those stronger than them. If he was the culprit behind that Lacrima, then who knows what else he had up his sleeve, though Mamoru had some confidence against Holder Type Mages.

The small child looked up with puffy eyes, snot running down her nose as she wiped it away with her sleeve. "You'll help me?!" The girl sniffled as she reached into the little baggy she carried. Pulling out a red spiked collar the little girl would hand it over to the blonde woman. The collar would smell like dog shampoo, but that was the beauty of the concoction the little girl had made. The spikes were covered in a drug that when it touched the skin would enter into the blood stream. It would take about five minutes for the drug to set in but once it did the target would feel sleepy and weak. Eventually causing the person to pass out. However, if that didn't set in fast enough the color was also covered in a potent chloroform which gave it the dog shampoo smell. Unlike typical chloroform the was strong enough that a person didn't have to hold it to someone's face. One deep inhaul of the fumes and a person would quickly feel the side effects of the drug. Thankfully the small child knew this, she had come prepared with think winter gloves. Which she would say was for the cold of the mountains. And when she pulled out the collar the small girl would silently stop her breathing whether she was handing over the spiked item. As soon as the collar was in Elfrieda's hands the small child would silently resume her breathing as if she had never held it in the first place. "You're the best lady. I can't wait to get my puppy home! Mommy wont yell at me and she won't try taking daddy to court for losing me!" The child blabbered as most children do, giving information out that was really none of the mage's business. "Um... do you think we will find him soon?" The girl asked concerned, looking as if she really wanted him back this instant.



"Ahahaha…. S-strange i-isn't my thing s-sir." The young man laughed as he backed away, "S-s-sounds like y-y-you like to f-f-fight.... I-I would o-only get in y-y-your way. I-I'll... uh.... just.... uh...." the young man looked around as if he was trying to figure out a direction to go. Pointing to the north west the young male stated "I-I'll be h-h-heading that way then...." Though the direction he pointed he would never get to where he was going. Rather the young man would sooner freeze to death in the mountains before finding a safe town. Though the young man didn't know this, how could he? He was lost and didn't even remember the way he came. Everything looked the same to him now! Turning away the young male would begin to walk away, though he had a hard time telling what was solid ground and what was soft slick snow. It didn't take him more than a few steps before he felt the snow sliding, unable to get his footing the male slid. Right off a cliff hidden by snow and windy conditions that made it hard to tell what was sky and what was ground. Grabbing on the edge the young male cried out "H-Help!!!" There he dangled off the edge of the cliff. Was this his luck? He was just here to do a job, yet he had to find the biggest and scariest guy around. Then he had to slip off the cliff. All he wanted to do was get his money from Shioya and go!
