Golden Age: Revival

N"You went along with this plan."
===================================
<Magic?>
===================================
<Of course not. I already paid for your flight over here.>

*She takes the goat leg & holds it over the sarcophagus, causing it to drip blood onto it.*

<We seek the spirit of Seraph the Wizard, we seek the spirit of Seraph the Wizard....>

*Ari turns to face Thiera and widens his eyes in horror, immediately drawing his sword.*

Ari: <W-What?>

[*Kelphy holds her hands out towards Seraph, unable to finish him.*

Kelphy: <You... You killed so many people...>

*Ari runs up to Seraph from behind and plunges his sword into his body.*

Seraph<People aren't worth dirt.>

*Blood starts pouring out of Ari's stomach & back as the Seraph in the vines turns out to be a hunk of wood & straw. Seraph then pumps Ari with lightning, throwing him into the ocean. Ari stares upward as the water's surface becomes distant, and then everything goes black.*]

Allina: <Who's Seraph, the Wizard? The name sounds familiar.>

"I did as little as possible while standing at a safe distance."

=====================================================

"You wanna speed this up?"

N"I'm sure that'll be a great defense when we're tried for rape. Look, you're making this so much harder than it has to be. Euryale, Taiyo & the others had to go to Egypt, so we took you home to visit Stheno. There, everything makes perfect sense in context."

*She nods, looking a little conufsed.*
========================================
Thiera<I will if you all just shut UP! We call on the spirit of Seraph the Wizard, we call on the spirit of Seraph the Wizard, we call on the spirit of Seraph the Wizard! We--ahh, FINALLY.>

*The blood starts to disappear, being replaced with the shimmering image of a psychotic-looking old man in robes.*

Seraph<WHO DARES DISTURB THE SLUMBER OF SERAPH THE ALMIGHTY, SERAPH THE DESTROYER, SERAPH THE-->

Thiera<Save it. I know you used up all of your power in your frankly idiotic attempt to destroy the world.>

Seraph<Why do you people have to take all of the fun out of being a psychotic old bastard? Ugh. Fine, what do you want?>

Thiera<I want to know the secret of how Mordred contacted & persuaded the Djinn.>

Seraph<Oh, finding them's easy. All you have to do is make a mirage solid. As for speaking to them, he could only do that because he was half-dragon. It takes the powers imbued by a significant magic transformation to pull off. Naturally, I could attract them to me like a damn bird call. Hey. You look familiar. Do I know you?>

Thiera<Fortunately, no, you do not.>

*Ari shakes his head and steps away from Seraph, holding his sword out towards them.*

Allina: <Come here and tell me that's not a ghost, Yomi!>

"Wishful thinking."

=====================================================

*Mimiru steps forward.*

"Hey, Ghost Wizard, our friend here has a brain parasite, think you could tell us how to remove it?"

*She jerks a thumb at Allina when she says "our friend".*

*Euryale stands up & stretches.*

E"All right, let's go home."
=================================
Seraph<Cut off her head.>

Thiera<Oh, Seraph IS a ghost. He converted himself to one ages ago, but his body was never destroyed. I just needed to call upon his spirit to ask about the Djinn. Now that that's done, we're going to go on a little expedition, & Seraph here will fade back into oblivion.>

Seraph<You think you've got it all figured out, don'tcha?>

*Allina turns to glare at Mimiru.*

Allina: <Friends my butt. Why isn't anyone nice anymore? Besides Taiyo, and maybe Euryale.>

*Ari seems to tense down when Thiera says Seraph will disappear again. He lowers his sword.*

"All right, sure."

=====================================================

"It's your brain parasite's fault."

"Hm... well, now I guess we just wait" Kyoujin shrugged, "I think we should do a little more work on finding this 'Luna Seppun' person, too."

<Well, then, ladies, who's up for a trip into the desert?>

*She slashes the ghost with the Lance & it disperses immediately.*
=========================================
<Didn't she go missing? What if she's dead?>

"She could be" Kyoujin nodded, opening up a tab on google chrome again, "But she could still be out there. I'll give up sooner or later, but for now it's worth looking into."

*After standing in silence for a minute and a half or so Azuma just decides to walk away.*

=====================================================

Taiyo:<Not me.>

"Me neither."

*Once they get back in town, Euryale heads for her house, leaving Nero & Azuma alone.*

N"I guess we probably should try to find Roatha."
=======================================
*She stabs the lance in the ground, holding her hands out.*

T"Hmm...on the one hand, army of immortal superbeings of fire & light to protect you. On the other...death at the hands of the Illuminati."

*She starts shrugging her shoulders up & down.*

T"Hey, if you have a death wish, I have licensed poison specialists who can at least make it clean."
=======================================
<I guess. But, you know, there are some really weird stories about her.>

"I was actually thinking of going home."

=====================================================

"Yeah, we just came for the lance. I'm not sure about them, but I don't care about whatever it is you're doing here."

"Such as?"
