OoC: Since you told me I could start this whenever I wanted, that means now to me.
Well, you know the deal, I think. So, let's get started. ^_^
BiC: "So, you're finally asking me to do something worthwhile?!" Zachary asked excitedly. This was definitely a first. The Aura Master had never done anything like this before. An actual mission that would test the red haired warrior's skills. It was about damn time. The ice innate jumped up and down with anticipation as the fencer began to explain.
"I need you to go to Rubato, where Cadenza is from, and find a man named Monroe Vossler. He's not very hard to miss. He's a miserable failure of a bounty hunter who wears all black and wields some very interesting weapons, not the least of which is a bright green energy sword. He's very strong, so I'll advise you use caution here. Also, he'll be calling for back up, probably, from a detective he knows from that world named Tracey de Carlo. While her battle power is very low, she's a smart little girl. Don't underestimate them. I'd rather not have to bury my squire next," Zorlo said seriously.
"You worry too much, Z," Zachary stated as he stood up and smiled. "So, why the sudden interest in having me deal with him?" the ice mage asked as he rested his left hand on the hilt of his sword.
The green haired man continued to write what he had been working on for a few days and didn't look up at Zachary as he spoke now. "He's created a noticeable disturbance in Rubato. I want this taken care of before Cadenza finds out and goes out to deal with things herself. She'll use measures I don't completely approve of. I know you'll deal with this properly."
Zachary nodded as he turned and began to take off. "I'll get this done in no time, Z. Don't worry." With those words, the ice elemental left and began to head off towards Rubato.
o=)---------Two Days Later, in Rubato----------(=o
It had taken two days, but Zachary had found the perfect place to set up camp. He'd managed to freeze out an entire cavern, which took a day to do, and then keep it cool enough in there where he felt comfortable, despite the damn heat of the desert. Although the bracer kept him at a very stable temperature, the ice innate still liked being surrounded by ice. It had a very relaxing feel to it.
However, that cave he had carved out of an old, massive rock wasn't what he found himself up to today. After some very intensive research, mostly involving stealing some of Zorlo's notes, the red haired warrior had found out where his teacher and associate, Cadenza, lived. The fencer had taken very good notes as to where and what was special about the area. As the ice elemental stood silently looking at the house, he held his note tightly in his hand.
The ice mage opened his right hand and focused magic into it, creating a shard of temperature resistant ice and pinning it through the note. With a powerful flux of magical force, Zachary shot the shard into the door, note attached still, and began to walk off. If luck held, one of Cadenza's sisters would get it and do as it asked. After all, the ice elemental did have a good point.
Zorlo's notes didn't only discuss very detailed things as what the red haired warrior had used to find the shadow mage's house, but also minor things, such as Tracey's relation to 'denza and her sisters. If Monroe was Tracey's ally, or vice versa, then the ice warrior felt no problem asking Cadenza's sister for help. After all, maybe one
would actually help him. He'd know in a little bit.
Zachary pulled his cloak tightly around himself and started walking. The note asked the reader to meet him in some nice looking restaurant near the house for lunch where they could discuss the matter of Monroe and Tracey. Now it was up to fate to decide what happened next.
o=)--------Elsewhere---------(=o
Monroe looked at the report in disbelief. The bounty known only as "The Avenger" had appeared in Rubato and had been spotted by no more then two people in a general area. The dark clad man groaned as he lay against the wall of a destroyed building. After all, that poor town had been caught in the crossfire. Well, that didn't matter right now. The bounty hunter rose and pulled out his cell phone from his jacket pocket and began to walk towards the nearby town of Agra.
Despite his wounds, both physical and emotional, the dark clad man searched through his contacts list for the only person in there he actually wanted to talk to. As the mercenary looked at Tracey's number, he hesitated to call her yet. Between the death of Johnny Bones, being replaced by trolls, and what had just happened, the dark figure wasn't sure if Tracey would answer.
As the former assassin pulled himself onwards, he sighed and pressed the send button. He'd talk to one of the few people he'd call a friend, peacefully, and try to talk her into meeting him in Agra. If she would, then they would move from there. But first, the wounded bounty hunter had to hope she answered.
OoC: I know, a little weak in the ending, but after all, this is after a thread that isn't up yet (But will be soon, I hope), so the ending is a bit unknown at the moment. Anyway, let's get started. *Is excited* ^_^
