Didymus sighed.

"Elder, we have no guarantees about the outcome of these conflicts as far as details like what you mention our concerned. And even if we survive them, what then?"

He paused.

"A great many things weigh on my mind of which monsters and this hubub concerning the dark lands are only a part. ...as for fighting with a smile on your face...I believe I know what you are saying concerning a smile, but surely in battle other expressions may be more prevalent..."

Cid's words were having little effect in cheering him, but hopefully Garnet was gaining something from this discussion...

"I know I sound grim, as I said, much weighs upon my mind. I still know we MUST keep the faith in this besieged world..."

Assassins' Guild

Lord Downey leaned back in his chair, tapping his chin and thinking over what Musashi said.

“I see...” the Guild leader said. “I may know something about who you seek. But what can you offer in return? I will tell you that we currently have no contracts out on you though...”

-Near Ankh-Morpork-

Beast Boy stopped as well, sniffing the air, his pointed green ears twitching.

“Maybe it won't notice us?” he said quietly.

-Sunderland-

“The Dark Lord, huh?” Samuel said, looking at Hoenhiem, “Met the guy once myself. Bit of a creeper. Don't plan on ending up like him.”

Samuel smirked, “Besides, what's the worst that could happen if I get my hands on the armor? It'll stop poisoning all these places...”

Ankh-Morpork

A visibly pregnant woman walked through the street, carrying several large bags of food. Her long black hair fell down her back, and her chocolate brown eyes stared straight forward, she was just trying to get home before the baby decided that it was upset or something and caused an uproar in her belly. It was a bothersome trend, but it would be over soon enough, and in a few days she would get to do nothing but rest in at her mother and father's home in the country-side. It would be a nice change from the smoggy city and would provide a good environment for a baby's first days.

Joyce paused, looking up. She had a sudden feeling of doom, but it didn't feel baby related...She tensed up and looked around but saw nothing...Perhaps it was just a bad feeling? Or maybe something was about to happen...She could sometimes sense things, but that was always power related. A thunderstorm maybe?

[...]

Elysia was annoyed...Not particularly at her sister's choice to follow some strange (and in her opinion rather stupid) boy, since it was Kyran's nature to be overly cheery and helpful....No....She was more annoyed at the fact that her twin sister had rushed off, leaving Elysia to give chase on her own.

Not that she couldn't defend herself...That would be no problem even in a place like this...It was just an inconvenience. A big bother induced by the need to help and some hormones thrown in...

Elysia sighed, running her hand through her short dark hair. she then closed her eyes and focused...It shouldn't have been that hard to sense her....

"Dangit Kyran, this is so not funny..." she mumbled

[Ankh-Morpork]

[Assassin’s Guild]

“I can pay you, of course.” Musashi replied, looking up to Lord Downey. “I would take a contact out on this person, except I wish to dispatch them myself. However, I will pay the normal contact rate in exchange for the information.”

Musashi figured that if Downey would kill people for money, he’d probably be willing to give some information for the same amount.

[Streets]

“Excuse me… you’re part of the City Watch, aren’t you?”

A man approached Elysia. He was a tall man, dressed all in black, with a strange hat on his head and dark glasses. There was a terrible smirk on his face, and there was something… unnatural about the man.

“I am looking for someone. A Wutainese Prince named Musashi. I believe he is in Ankh-Morpork. I need to find him, he is a very dangerous man.”

[Near Ankh-Morpork]

Raven shook her head.

“No, you don’t understand… this is something… big. I haven’t felt anything like this since…”

Raven’s eyes widened. Could it be…?

“We need to hurry! Something terrible is going to happen in Ankh-Morpork!”

In the skies above, a massive shadow was cast on the ground. There was an enormous shape flying across the skies, but hidden in the clouds.

[Gondor]

Cid’s eyes narrowed a bit. “Enough! If you cannot accept advice from one who has lived and fought longer than you, then keep your worries, but if you dwell on such concerns, you open an avenue to be attacked.”

The cart began to slow. Garnet looked out the end. “We’re coming towards a bridge…”

Cid paused. “We are close. The bridge will take us into the edge of Avalon’s territory. I did not believe we would reach this place so quickly.”

[Sunderland]

Hoenheim let out a small sigh and shook his head.

“No one ever plans to end up as he did… but great power is a tempting thing. The more power one person possesses, the more likely they are to give into temptation.”

Hoenheim turned. “… If you want the armor, you’ll have to speak to Irisviel. That may be easier if you have the support of the King.”

Ankh-Morpork- Streets

“Excuse me… you’re part of the City Watch, aren’t you?”

Elysia stiffened, turning around to see a rather creepy looking man looking down at her. While his smirk unnerved her a bit the girl did not show it in the least. "I am...." she said carefully "You need something?"

“I am looking for someone. A Wutainese Prince named Musashi. I believe he is in Ankh-Morpork. I need to find him, he is a very dangerous man.”

Elysia blinked....That boy! Was he really-

"And why would you need to find such a possibly dangerous man?" she asked carefully. "If he's a threat the watch will look into bringing him into custody...If we can find him"

Elysia was purposely trying to dodge the topic...This guy....Was weird.

Assassins' Guild

“Dear boy, do I look like I need the money?” Downey chuckled, holding his arms out and looking about his finely decorated office, “No, I don't want anything like that...however...”

He smiled, bending forward, “You are a Wutanese Prince...perhaps not the one who will become Emperor, but you still must carry some clout. So...we'll call it a favor.”

Downey produced a sealed envelope, pushing it across the desk to Musashi, “This is everything we know about the man you're after. I'm afraid it's not a terribly large amount, but it should help you. Just remember who helped you later, when we might need a favor...”

Kyran frowned a little, looking to Musashi, wondering if he would accept the deal...

Streets

“Dear! Let me carry those!”

A tall blond haired man ran up to Joyce, looking panicked and taking some of the bags of food from Joyce, “You shouldn't carry all that with the baby, it's not good for you. You should just stay at home, let me handle everything...”

Sage was a bit panicked, as he was going to be a father soon with Joyce, plus they would soon be visiting Joyce's parents...Joyce's father scared Sage sometimes... a lot of times.

-Near Ankh-Morpork-

“R-right,” Beast Boy nodded, hurrying after Raven as they headed for the giant walled city of Ankh-Morpork...

He wondered what Raven was so panicked about...

-Sunderland-

Samuel frowned, “Irisviel, huh? And the King...The king of England Avalon? Gonna be annoying heading back to the capitol again...”

Except that the 'King' was a lot closer then he knew...

“Where can I find this Irisviel then?” Samuel asked.

Hoenheim pointed towards the large manor next to the graveyard. “My granddaughter is inside.”

[Ankh-Morpork]

Musashi paused. He hadn’t wanted to go straight to using his status as a Prince, but if he had too…

“Alright. Thank you, Lord Downey. I guess I owe you one.”

Musashi was not looking forward to repaying that debt, but if he didn’t find the man who cursed him, he would be dead in a few short months.

Musashi opened the envelope, eager to see if it had a name, or a picture of man’s face. It had some information... but no name!

“Well… it’s better than nothing. Thank you, Lord Downey.”

[Streets]

“I am a bounty hunter. I am seeking Musashi because there is a bounty on his head. It seems he has a penchant for creeping on young women, and then when they become with-child, he steals their money and runs off. He also kicks animals.”

This is all a lie.

[Above Ankh-Morpork]

Suddenly, a massive shockwave went out across the city. Building shook and some people on the street might have even fallen down. There was a sound like a great roar, and a shape began to zip through the skies above the massive city.

[Streets]

The man looked to Elysia. “This is probably Musashi’s doing too!”

It’s not.

Ankh-Morpork-Streets

Joyce blinked as her husband rushed up behind her, taking the bags out of her arms. While she had to admit the added weight being lifted off of her was nice she was still a bit annoyed that she wasn't expected to do anything at all except wait for this baby to come.

"Don't worry i'm okay" Joyce said with a grin, placing a hand over her bump. "I'm tough remember? Just think of it as needed exercise for the baby"

While Sage's worry was a bit excessive the woman could see where his worry was coming from. They had tried so hard so long before this to have a baby, finally she was pregnant and hell would freeze before Sage let anything happen to their child....Not to mention it was pretty cute watching him fumble around trying to get ready.

"Anyways i'll lay around all you want when we get to my parent's house" she said with a grin. "And i'm sure my dad will put you to work to keep you busy. They've been looking forward to the visit for months after all-"

Suddenly the ground started to shake and Joyce grabbed Sage's arm to steady herself. She wasn't sure what was happening...

"What the heck!?"


[...]

"Wait......What" Elysia exclaimed, feeling her temper rise without a moment's notice...She had meant to play it cool but now she was just imagining the boy creeping on her twin!....And kicking rabbits.

"THAT SON OF A--DAMMIT HOW COULD I LET HIM RUN OFF WITH-"

Elysia paused as the earth below her rumbled. Instantly she grabbed a streetlamp to steady herself, looking back to the mysterious (and creepy man). "How the heck could he have done something like that!?"

[Ankh-Morpork]

Storm clouds gathered in the skies around Ankh-Morpork. Lightning struck, flying to the ground and sending up torrents of sparks as it impacted! A fierce wind blew, and all the while there was a monstrous, inhuman roar.

To most of the city, the sound was just an unidentifiable roaring. It was as if several hundred lions had surrounded the city and were all growling at once.

[Streets]

Nanami knew better. She could hear the voice on the roars… she understood the words being shouted.

The ground shook, thunder rolled, and the wind roared across the city. It was the power of the Voice… and that could only mean one thing.

And as she looked up, the dark shadow emerged from the storm clouds, and everyone in Ankh-Morpork would learn what she already knew.

It was a dragon.

[…]

“We must hurry and find Musashi.” The man agreed. “Come! Let us find him and punish him for all of his misdeed!”

Didymus looked contrite for a moment.

"...I...I apologize, Elder. I have been warned by many the dangers of being, perhaps, too somber, but...sometimes I worry that the inverse is also true-that maybe we aren't as vigilant as we should be..."

He chuckled.

"Heh...perhaps I should simply be silent as we travel? Though where are we going, Elder? Mustn't we get Lady Garnet to a safe place?"

-Sunderland-

Samuel nodded to Hoenhiem, looking towards the manor. He took a step forward, then hurried to the door.

He paused, hesitating, then shrugged, knocking on the door. After all what kind of quester just walked into people's homes and talk to them and steal their stuff?

-Ankh-Morpork-

Assassins' Guild

“Thank you very much!” Kyran nodded to Lord Downey, who nodded back and got up.

“Now then, I'll show you two out...” he began.

“Oh, we're good!” Kyran said, “I know the way out!”

Lord Downey began to protest, but Kyran focused, shadows appearing around her and Musashi, taking them away!

Kyran should probably learn to warn Musashi before she does that.



Vimes began to curse colorfully and plentifully as he saw the dragon flying above the sky. He scowled, patting his breastplate for another cigar, then cursed again when he realized he was out.

Ankh-Morpork did not have a standing army. The vast majority of it's citizens knew basic combat, either from barroom brawls, part of the Guild they were in, or just what was needed from getting out their front door and to the stores.

The largest fighting force in Ankh-Morpork was, in fact, the City Watch.

“Damn it...We need to get the Watch mobilized,” Vimes yelled, turning as the people in the streets began to panic, milling around, “Everyone, shut up!”

No one paid attention, the panic beginning to grow...

“Everyone, please quiet down! Mister Vimes needs to address you!” Carrot said, no louder then a normal speaking voice. Almost immediately the crowd calmed down, turning towards Captain Carrot and Commander Vimes.

“Right then...” Vimes frowned, staring at the crowd, “Alright...Look, we got a great big ruddy dragon in the sky. I don't think some knight in shining armor is going to show up to kill the dragon and marry the princess. We don't even have one. Everyone, get to the cellars, spread the word. If you're not Watch, get under cover!”

The crowd dispersed, after a glance towards Carrot, who nodded slightly, then turned back to Vimes.

“Orders, sir?” Carrot asked. Vimes frowned, turning back to stare at the dragon.

“I want every troll member of the Watch equipped with whatever long range weapon we can get our hands on. They're the best bet we have against that thing. Get our best archers to the Tower of Art, the Yard roof, and anywhere else high to help pick at the thing. And Fred, Nobby!”

Vimes turned, towards his two oldest...comrades, who were trying to remain unseen.

“Errrr, yes Vimes?” Fred Colon asked.

“That dragon might set fire to the city, almost certainly will. Round up some volunteers to get a bucket brigade ready. Actually, take Detrius with you, get some more trolls for that too,” Vimes ordered, then turned around towards Nanami and Angua.

“Angua, you're our best tracker. Find whoever brought this thing here. Maybe cutting that link will make it go away. Nanami, go with her, unless you have a better idea,” Vimes ordered. He knew he couldn't actually order Nanami around, but he wasn't going to let that stop him in a situation like this.



Sage froze, staring up at the sky as the dragon roared and beat it's wings, flying above the city.

“Oh no...Joyce, we need to get you to safety! Things just got really dangerous...” Sage said, grabbing his wife's hands, pulling her along.



The shadows opened up, depositing Musashi and Kyran outside the Assassins' Guild, the red haired girl grinning.

She smiled, clapping her hands together and then paused, looking up and seeing the dragon in the sky.

She looked puzzled, “A dragon? Oh cool! I've never seen one of those before!”

Kyran didn't seem to realize there was a reason for that.



An armored figure smirked, looking at the dragon. He looked almost...hungry, staring at the creature.

“This will prove quite useful...Let's see how the young Dovahkin fares...”

"What the heck is that thin-GAH!" Joyce exclaimed, behing tugged along by her husband. The man was much faster than her (and in a panic to get her out of here) so she was having trouble keeping up. "Slow down! I can't run that f-fast!"

[...]

Elysia had no clue how some dumb prince could create such a quake and she REALLY didn't know how he could summon a giant winged beast- but she didn't really have time to be suspicious since she didn't want to DIE.

"Yeah sure! Misdeeds!" Elysia exclaimed, rushing after the man.


???

Kanna knew something was up. She could sense it, she wasn't sure who it was but someone with the same powers was in danger. The woman gave a sigh, wracking her brain to where her children were- safe in their homes no doubt...With their own families and their own problems...Surely they weren't in too much trouble...

And yet Kanna couldn't shake off the unsure feeling.

[Eizenbern Manor]

The door swung open on its own, with no one opening it. Inside the Eizenbern Manor, a young woman with long silver hair and red eyes stood just down the hallway. She had a sad expression on her face as she turned to find Samuel.

“… You’ve come for the Cold Iron, haven’t you? You should know… it is buried here for a reason. Removing it would be dangerous. Are you prepared to deal with the consequences?”

[Gondor]

“What you need is a balance. If you are too somber or too lax, you will find ruin down either path. The lax man is ill-prepared when danger comes… and the somber man will be too wound up, and can break too easily. The man who can strike the proper balance, however, will be prepared when the time comes.” Cid explained.

“I fear that time has come.” Garnet shook her head. “I… I feel things changing. Something terrible is going to happen.”

Cid paused. “Yes… I know. The future comes quickly.”

Suddenly there was a terrible impact, the cart fell over on its side and rolled. They had reached the large stone bridge that crossed the river between Avalon and Gondor, but something had hit the cart!

[Ankh-Morpork]

Musashi was shivering as he appeared outside with Kyran. He shuddered and held his arms, definitely not used to traveling in such a strange – and chilling – way.

“I feel like my bones are made of ice.” Musashi groaned, rubbing his arms repeatedly, in the hope that the friction would keep him a little warm. Then he heard the rumbling and looked up in the skies above… and saw the dragon.

“… What the hell did we miss?”

[…]

The mysterious man ran with Elysia, and suddenly he stopped. “He’s close by. The creeper with your sister. We need to hurry… we need to destroy the boy!”

[…]

Nanami had been watching the dragon as it soared through the air. She heard what Vimes and Carrot talked about, but she paid little attention to it until Vimes looked to her.

“It was Maghda who summoned it. This must be how she burns down cities…” Nanami growled. “Yes, I have a better idea. I’m going to talk to it.”

She turned and ran, jumping onto the side of a building and quickly heading for the roof.

[???]

“Hello, Kanna.”

Rica appeared, stepping out of the shadows. A demented smirk was on the man’s pale face as he stepped into the room.

He smirked as he walked over to her. “It’s happening. My return to the throne has begun.” Rica chuckled as he walked over to Kanna. “Ankh-Morpork will burn, and the world will know that I am back.”

Didymus reflected on Cid's words, wondering, still, about things as he always did...

“Yes… I know. The future comes quickly.”

"Perhaps concern for it has ultimately depleted it-" he said, when suddenly the cart was rolled!

He was praying, or crying out, mentally as the cart rolled, and when it stopped, he drew his sword, praying and looking about as it glowed, trying to get Garnet behind some sort of cover...

Ankh-Morpork

“He’s close by. The creeper with your sister. We need to hurry… we need to destroy the boy!”

Elysia blinked and narrowed her eyes....This man....Why did he want her help if he could tell already that Musashi was close by....And how the HELL did he know that the stupid prince was with her sister!?

(CR reeeaaaallly hopes these were intentional and not just oversights XD )

"Now hold on a second mister...Mister...What's your name anyways?"

???

“It’s happening. My return to the throne has begun. Ankh-Morpork will burn, and the world will know that I am back.”

"Don't you think it's a bit counterproductive to burn down the place you'd wish to rule?" Kanna said with with an obvious tone of sarcasm on her lips. She knew better than to push too many buttons with this man, but at the same time she knew she could annoy him without being killed. He liked her too much.

"Anyways before you kill everyone in sight i'd like to ask something" she said, moving forward so that she was very close to the man. She gave a little grin looking up at him. "I want to..." she paused thinking of the right words "-relocate some people...Nothing major...You won't even notice they're gone"
