The Galatine

Cid had called to the crew, asked for lightning from Heaven, but Didymus was, amidst all the action, knelt. Eyes closed. Quiet. Serene.

A golden light shimmered from his blade and from even its hilt where his hands clasped together in prayer. The water around the boat, for all the kraken's thrashing, was calm and serene. Even its large tentacles would be restrained from slamming the boat. A single word, if anyone nearby was listening VERY closely, may have been heard come from Didymus' lips, whispered...

"Sanctuary."

[Ankh-Morpork]

Vaun shrugged carelessly when Riza revealed that there most likely wasn't anyone "innocent" within the walls of Ankh-Morpork. After all, why argue with the truth? It's why Vaun decided to use this place as his thieving ground: There were just as many corrupt officials as there were thieves and sanctioned problems. It's what made his stay here so unique, and so fruitful.

Mansion outside the walls spoke volumes about the authenticity of that fact.

Though that's when Riza decided to do some impromptu threatening of his own, and Vaun would have nodded in pride at that. Kid really came into his own after joining in on a few interesting heists: he had a quick wit and had enough power to punch through magical barriers and defenses, allowing much easier exits from areas that were very well protected. And while Vaun was no slouch in the department, Riza had the punch required to be considered the magical muscle between the two.

Though he was getting just a bit concerned. The Dark Brotherhood were a nasty bunch, and his encounters with them never ended too well. Sure, Vaun has stolen a few things before that belonged to them, but they were rather insistent in their attempts to get whatever he stole back afterwards, and that insistence was rather lethal in its conclusion. So he avoided stealing from the Brotherhood, simply because it was usually a pain to do so, and they didn't have anything interesting amongst them.

Still, to think this rod he acquired belonged to the Brotherhood... Well, never let it be known that Vaun ever let something slip his fingers after he got his hands on it.

"You heard the kid, boys. The moment you start something, the Watch will be here in seconds. I know Vimes, he won't let it slide easily, and if Carrot decides to show up in person... Well, I'm sure you don't really want that. So I'll be taking this here rod, and going on my way now."

And he started walking towards the corner of the wall...

[Ankh-Morpork]

“… You’re funny.”

The Dark Brotherhood assassin simply scoffed at Vaun. He crossed his arms, and quickly blocked Vaun’s path.

“Do you really believe we care about the Watch? Have you paid even slight attention to the events in this city of the last few HOURS? The Dark Brotherhood squared off with the Watch not long ago. We will not simply slink to the shadows and hide like children.”

The assassin shook his head. “You have one chance. Give me the rod. Right now. Otherwise, you will die… and if we must slay Veternari himself to do it, we shall.”

[The Galantine]

The good news was that Blake was able to slice the creature, and the arrows from the sailors aboard the ship pierced the monster’s flesh as well.

… the bad news is that the Kraken was enormous. It easily towered over even the largest of castles in Eptina. The beast was so enormous that five Galantines could fit within its hand!

So, despite their best efforts… they were still very much fighting an uphill battle.

Cid, however, remained undaunted. He was looking up at the beast with a grin on his lips, and a fire in his heart.

“… Brother Didymus, Blake, follow me! We shall bring down this foul beast and show the Dark Lord that he holds no power here!”

Cid turned and ran, scrambling up the main mast of the ship. Despite being a man nearing his seventies and wearing plate mail beneath his robes, Cid was actually quite nimble, as was his mind… and he had a plan.

A really, really, crazy plan.

[Forest]

Musashi nodded to Kyran.

“Then it sounds like we should find your brother… do you know where he is?” Musashi asked, unaware that Blake was on a boat with a couple of Paladins, a Princess and the Avalonian Navy fighting against the Kraken.

“We should reach a city soon, I hope…”

The thief didn't exactly want to fight the brotherhood. He knew Riza could take care of himself, and he knew that his own magics could hide him in a flash, so he had a certain amount of confidence. But at the same time, if the Brotherhood really had THAT many resources at their disposal, perhaps he should be careful.

Well, careful in relative terms. It was time to antagonize them a little.

"Actually, no, I have NOT heard anything about the Dark Brotherhood for the past few hours. See, I was busy raiding a catacomb and stealing this very fine rod from it, so I wouldn't know about the recent events. And now that it is mine, I really don't want to let go of it... But if I must, I'll let you see... A hat trick."

He smiled harmlessly, sweeping his hat off his head.

"See, it starts with a hat. So you take a hat. Then you flip the hat like THIS." He took the hat and flipped it in the air, catching it by the rim. "Then you spin it, like this." He used the rim of the hat to spin the headwear on his finder a few times. "Then... Then you drop the rod into it like THIS..." He dropped the rod into the hat... "And presto! The rod, miraculously, vanishes!!!"

And indeed, there was no rod in the hat.

"Now, since I no longer HAVE the rod, and neither does my partner, can we leave? I don't much fancy having a conflict right here, and I'd rather not have you all wiped off the map by the Patrician. I heard he used to be an assassin, you know, so he should still know quite a lot of moves."

Didymus was still in silent prayer, asking for protection for the ship, when Cid ordered him to follow him.

He rose, without an (out loud) word, and followed orders, still quietly asking for protection...

Riza stayed quiet as he watched Vaun make the Rod “disappear.” He smirked a bit, remembering Vaun pulling that trick on him around when they first met.

Good times.

“See? It's gone,” Riza said, “Returned to the ether or whatever. Can we just be on our way now?”



Jimi and Hammah were still following behind Nanami, talking to themselves.

“We should just head back home...”

“But this is an opportunity for adventure, to really do some good!”

“There's plenty of adventure in Ankh-Morpork.”

“But don't you want to see more of the world? Like Dad did?”

“... Yah, I guess...”

“Good then.”

Jimi turned walking up to Nanami, clearing his throat for a moment, then spoke up.

“Hey... I know you have all rights to simply say no to this, but... Hammah and I want to help you out in this quest. We can't really go back to our lives after all this, and we think we can be of some help...”

-The Galantine-

Blake returned to Cid.

“What's the plan?” Blake wondered, following behind Cid, still on his disc of shadows beneath his feet.

-Forest-

“Not sure... He likes to travel the world, actually...” Kyran answered, “He said he hoped to be home in time for our sister's child to be born, but he had to find someone first...”

That someone being their not evil grandfather.

Kyran then smiled brightly, taking Musashi's hands tightly, “I hope so! Then we can go get married! It's so exciting!”

Just don't let anyone find out, or they might try to kill Musashi...despite it being Kyran's idea.

Ankh-Morpork Junkyards

While the guard were dealing with matters of great importance, while the Patrician was dealing with a woman with the voice of the dragon, there were far more mundane things happening all around the city. There were thefts. Assassinations. Trades and marketing. And even things like everyday living, for not even a dragon could stop the life in Ankh-Morpork for long.

And the junkyards were just yet another day for a red-headed kid in goggles, who was riding down a slope of cast-off metals and parts as he collected what he wanted.

The junkyard was one of the smaller districts, simply because the majority of metals and parts were re-usable, and Ankh-Morpork was pretty darn effective in putting things back into use and circulation. But everything passed through the junkyard at some point or other, and it is here that some scavengers have made their home, hoping to make any sort of living on the castoffs of others.

And it is here that Riley the Tinkerer has made his home.

Once down on the bottom of the pile after sliding down the whole half-mountain of junked metal and other things, Riley got up with a grunt and started dragging the metallic slab he was using as a sled, a slab loaded with a few old watches, clocks, metallic parts and frames to old toys, and various other little things that would appear nigh-useless to most of the population, but were his bread and butter. Usually, these things just made it back into circulation through the few recycling systems or when one of the mages decided he needed raw physical material for experimentation, but Riley made a living fixing things and making them better.

And he was GOOD at it.

It wasn't any great business. No one ever came to visit the junkyards to have something repaired, they only visited to throw something away. And the things that Riley usually came up with didn't even resemble the thing they were supposed to do anymore, so even his infrequent marketing visits into the city haven't yielded much in the way of profit. But it was a living, and an honest one in a district that mostly concerned itself with backdoor dealings and thievery.

Not like there was much worth stealing here in the junkyards, but a rather large amount of people disappeared within the junkyard and nearby districts. And the watch wasn't exactly concerned with watching the people here.

It was with a loaded sled that Riley came along the outer wall and towards a small shack on the edge of the junkyard, right between a large hill of used metal and vehicles and a road. It was here that he took the frame of an old construction rig and built a wall around it, making a makeshift home that he later finished up by layering the walls with padding and throw-away cloth, making for a rather comfortable, though eccentric home. It didn't have much, just a few "sections" that served as rooms and a rather ramshackle bath, but it was home.

Never mind the bathtub that spoke in a broken, foreign language. Even Riley didn't know what happened when he made that thing.

With a kick, the 16-year-old boy knocked the door open, calmly ducked under a spinning blade that more than once managed to catch an intruder off-guard, and dragged the sled into the front of his home that served as a large workshop. It had everything he would ever want, from some of the simplest tools and toolsets to a large rig he had acquired through some of the shadier deals, an electrostatic generator he had managed to acquire from a man who acquired it from the mage's guild.

The mage's guild PROBABLY wanted it back, but at least they didn't know it was here.

With a few more grunts of effort, the kid flipped all of the newly-collected junk and broken toys and pieces into a general pile, looking it over with the eye of an expert, before collapsing into a nearby makeshift couch taking a small break before his next round of fixing.

“So you got more junk, Riley?”

A young girl sighed, leaning against one of the walls of the small shack. About the same age as Riley, she had brown hair and green eyes, wearing a blue shirt and dirty white pants, a brown tail wrapped around her waist.

Maize yawned a little, munching an apple she had acquired earlier from a fruit stand.

“What are you going to build today, anyways?” Maize asked, “Will it be something that can get us something good to eat?”

Maize was a Saiyan, a species that had lost their homelands and were scattered across the various nations, often being muscle for hire... and ate a lot of food.

Riley was knocked rather suddenly out of his thinking process by a new voice, to which he spun about, reaching for anything nearby that he could throw. It took him a moment to register the familiarity of the voice, but he managed to stop his arm from flinging a conveniently-placed wrench at his friend's head. Not like it would have done much, what with how tough said friend was, but she had stated numerous times that she did not appreciate head trauma, no matter how light it was.

"Would you stop DOING that? You nearly gave me a heart attack, Maize!"

He dropped back down to the couch, looking grouchily at his haul.

"I won't be building anything like that any time soon. The last time I tried to make something that could get us food, it trashed the nearby market and had to be put down by the mages, since the Watch couldn't actually deal with it properly. I don't know HOW we never got tracked back from that incident, but I thank the gods we weren't strung up by our toes for it."

He swept an arm angrily towards the pile.

"All I have now is toys and watches. Maybe enough for another minor clank, but don't even get me started on those things. I still don't know where they ARE most of the time, not to mention what to DO with them..."

He shrugged a bit helplessly.

"Sorry, I don't have much in the way of fun this time around. Maybe you've got some better news from the city, eh?"

“Well there was a dragon attack...” Maize said, “The Watch and some other people took it down too... Only thing left is bones, which the government took away... I wonder if dragon meat tastes any good...”

She shrugged, finishing up her apple, eating core and all, before continuing.

“But yah, anything we could sell for some coin?” Maize asked, looking over at the junk, “If we really need the money I could see if the Warrior's Guild has any jobs open though...”

Maize was intelligent, and had an instinctive grasp of numbers and figures, which was unusual for a Saiyan, who tended to be masters at combat, but not so much accounts and logistics.

It took a second for what Maize said so nonchalantly to filter through Riley's mind.

"... Wait. Dragon? As in "mythical creature" dragon or "yet another Mage's Guild Hoax" dragon? Cause last time that happened, it turned out to be an overgrown crocodile, and it ended up following the sewers to the junkyard where I had to promptly make sure it didn't squish my house by playing keep-away using a bunch of tubing and a sock. Definitely not the most fun afternoon I've spent, and I'm only alive because you were in the area."

He stood up, starting to rifle through the junk he acquired.

"So, which is it? I doubt it's the real thing, dragons are myth. Legend. Nonexistent. They only exist because a bunch of wizards at some point were crazy and stupid enough to give a lizard the ability to breathe fire. It's like in the stories you read that were written by some bard or other: You get highly embellished accounts of stuff that is most likely mundane, only to transform them into wondrous creatures of myth. The minotaur was a human experiment gone wrong, the dragon is probably some overgrown lizard with a poison-spitting gland gone wrong... Tcheh. Bunch of malarkey."

He threw one of the gears to the side.

"And these days, the only thing I get is a bunch of nonsense. Remember that generator I got? The only thing worthwhile for these past six months. I've been fixing toys and selling them for coppers on the streets, and I've got barely any left. I've got a market run to make in a few weeks, and I'm already short on funds."

He glared up accusingly at Maize, his hands automatically sifting through some of the things he acquired, throwing them into various smaller piles all over the place with practiced precision.

"And YOU keep coming over and eating me out of house and home too..."

“I didn't see the thing myself, but from what I heard it was suppose to be legitimate,” Maize said to Riley. “We could try going out and getting a paper. I'm sure the Ankh-Morpork Times has a special edition out by now, they're usually pretty reliable... And a devil with that crossword puzzle...”

"And YOU keep coming over and eating me out of house and home too..."

Maize smirked at that, “Hey, that's what you get for befriending a Saiyan. Besides, I make money too. And I help move the stuff you find here that's too heavy for you to move on your own.”

Maize certainly didn't look like she was strong, but she was capable of hefting around several hundred pounds of metal for Riley if needed.

Riley scoffed again in derision at the statement, displaying exactly what he thought of the entire dragon thing.

"I bet you anything it was a bad experiment gone wrong. But it DOES make me curious. Say, Maize, how tight are the Watch after this entire incident? You think we can sneak into the Patrician's place to see what sort of bones were really taken? Cause if it was some sort of mechanized invention, I want to know what it was."

Rubbing his hands, he looked out the window of the house with a contemplative look on his face.

"Not like I have anything better to do right now. Can't get enough customers anyways, might as well make a run to see what's going on... And maybe pick up some side job on the way. Who knows, maybe we can earn us a few silvers, get a good meal for once instead of having to scavenge the markets."

[Ankh-Morpork]

The Dark Brotherhood operative in charge simply watched Vaun and Riza with bored eyes. He looked down at his gloved hand, and after a moment he stepped forward.

“I’ve had enough of this…”

The operative suddenly pulled a knife from his belt and slit his own palm right through the leather glove. He let the blood drip down onto the ground, and suddenly a shadow was cast over them. It was as if a dome had suddenly appeared, trapping Vaun, Riza and the Brotherhood agents around them inside.

“The spell is remarkably simple. To everyone around us on the streets, we will appear to simply be standing here and having a pleasant conversation… but inside the dome, you will be slain. We could fight for a thousand years and no one would see or hear it. I’m afraid your precious Patrician will not be helping you.”




Nanami had a feeling what Jimi was about to say when he approached her and cleared his throat. She crossed her arms and looked from the brunette to his brother, her eyebrow raised.

“… This quest is more dangerous than you can possibly imagine. A deranged cult is attempting to devour the entire world with darkness. I can assure you that if you come with me, you will see and experience horrors beyond your darkest dreams… and I cannot guarantee your safety.”

Nanami was as much a ray of sunshine as always.

“… That said, if your sure, you could be useful.”

[Forest]

Musashi smiled, clasping his fingers around Kyran’s. He was smiling as they walked back towards the cottage. It was a little crazy to think he was about to marry a woman he had only known for a short time… but Musashi knew his life would likely be very short, and it was better to live fast.

“It is pretty exciting… but, err… how do you think your family will react?” Musashi asked, nervously.

[The Galantine]

The Kraken was roaring loudly as Cid and Didymus climbed the mast, with Blake beside them on his floating disc.

The rain was beating down in sheets. The wind was blowing fiercely, and the waves beat against the side of the Galantine.

“We must reach the Beast’s head! There’s only one chance to do that… it will not be easy, but we shall prevail!” Cid called over the wind, as he reached the crow’s nest.

One of the Kraken’s large tentacles was waving menacingly above the ship’s mast. It was flailing in every direction, but thankfully it did not move to smash the ship, seemingly repelled by the shimmering aura around the ship.

“We jump on the tentacle and climb our way to the creature’s head!” Cid explained. “Be sure of foot, gentlemen! If we fall off we will surely die!”

Not your best pep talk.

Vaun watched with a bit of a deadpan expression as the guy just covered them in an illusion and dome, preventing their escape.

"Why did I know this is going to happen... Come on, really, I thought your kind were MANAGED in Ankh-Morpork."

Apparently not though. Vaun didn't know exactly what magic was at play here, this spell was not one that he recognized. He didn't even know whether this was a spell, or an actual ability tied to the guy's blood, and as such couldn't draw any sort of conclusion about how to break said spell, or even how to get out of the sphere.

Great.

"Hey, Riza, how do you want to do this? This guy's not going to leave us alone easily, and he wants to fight us pretty darn badly... And hey, I'm not against a little bit of a scrap myself, but I just got these clothes dry-cleaned, and I really didn't want to get any dirt or blood on them."
