L.Y. 651 Muro 8 3:15 L.Q. - Diamon, Teleporter to Thidimon
Appearing in a quiet meadow the group begins to search for the Cloaked Stranger. Suddenly from a distance you hear the rustling of leaves. Chasing after it, Crystal, Obitiga, and Twilight begin to move deeper within the woods. Slowly noticing this plant life around them turning from what they assumed was green, under the dead of the night. To what now looked like a glowing bright white. Unsure what was going on they stopped. With the Cloaked Stranger out of sight they had nothing to do but come to a halt.
"Where she go?"
[Obitiga]
"No clue."
[Crystal]
"Can you believe it though Empat was a Cult member."
[Obitiga]
"I'm surprised by that too, I knew she did some bad things. But you've known her for years now right?"
[Twilight]
"Yeah, she never seemed to be lying to me."
[Crystal]
"Either way, we should get moving."
[Twilight, searching the field for tracks]
"Looks like we lost the Cloaked Strange... but if she's a part of the Cult we should run into her again."
[Twilight]
"Yeah, especially if she did get to the Carnival before us."
[Obitiga]
"Which way is that anyway?"
[Twilight]
"Not sure, but if we can find a stoned path we should be able to find our way there easily."
[Crystal]
We began to search for a stone path, running into a few small bugs but no creatures along the way. It was a pretty quiet forest, but having no creatures hunting us was definitely different.
L.Y. 651 Muro 8 3:15 L.Q. - Diamon, Teleporter to Thidimon
Eventually we stumbled upon a camp, though it seemed to be abandoned.
"I wonder who was here."
[Crystal]
"Maybe it was the Cloaked Stranger."
[Obitiga]
"The rest of Cult could be here too then."
[Twilight]
[A Bird Call from a distance]
"What was.."
[Obitiga]
Waking up to a burning fire, and a few women and men sitting around it, I began to try and recall what happened. The last thing I could do was make a bird call. Feeling my restraints being tugged as both Crystal and Obitiga came too. I was relieved to know nothing had happened to them. Being tied by what seemed to be a thick rope, one in which we couldn't break , we caused a commotion. With all the noise one of the campers came over. Kicking a bit of sand into our faces.
"Who are you? Are you a Zenshu member? What do you want?"
[Diamonian 1, with rage]
"Just calm down, we aren't here to fight you, we're looking for someone. They might actually be a Cult member."
[Twilight]
"Do you mean the man that just ran past with the cloak?"
[Diamonian 2]
"It should have been a woman, but yes that's who?"
[Crystal]
"(Pause and looks amongst the group) We do, but we don't recommend people go there, nor do our people."
[Diamonian 1]
"We are still going to need to take them with us, they could be dangerous still, we should let the Grand Chief decide, don't you think?"
[Diamonian 2]
At that moment someone struck the three of them in the back of the head. Knocking them out, re-blind folding them, they begin to tie them to the back of their horses. Dragging them to the camp. As they journey you could hear their moans of pain as they knocked into trees, branches, boulders, as well as the stone pathway.
Upon arriving at the Camp the Diamonains proceeded to remove the restraints tying them to their horses.
"What is going on here?"
[Grand Chief]
"We found them in the woods, they say they aren't Zenshu."
[Diamonian 1]
"We thought it would be better to let you decide what to do with them."
[Diamonian 2]
"Who are you, state thy names."
[Grand Chief]
[Gags removed]
"Twilight"
[Twilight]
"Crystal"
[Crystal]
"Obitiga"
[Obitiga]
"Where are you from, what do you want here?"
[Grand Chief]
"Well, we came from Diamon, we were chasing this person that attacked us back on Thidimon. We aren't one hundred percent sure but we think it was a Zodiac..."
[Crystal]
"That can't be true, who are you kid?"
[Grand Chief]
"Again the name is Twilight."
[Twilight]
"Not your name, tell me those who came before you."
[Grand Chief]
"From what I was told that would be the Twilight Guardians."
[Twilight]
"There's only one way that could be possible, how old are you?"
[Grand Chief]
"17, my birthday is on Seto 2nd."
[Twilight]
[Shocked faces]
"The 2nd of Seto is when the world crashed, and is rumored to be when the Twilight Guardians child was born, years ago."
[Grand Chief, thinking to herself]
"Untie him now. If he says the truth he is the only one who can save us."
[Grand Chief]
While being untied, the Grand Chief begins to introduce herself. It seems her name was Romina, and the Diamonian that brought us to the camp was her son Naraku.
"We are sorry, young saviors. If we had known who you were from the start we would not have tied you up."
[Diamonian 2, while untying the group]
"Are you sure you want to tell them all of this?"
[Crystal, whispers]
"I have to, it's the only way we can get out of here and stop whoever that cloaked member is."
[Twilight]
"So you are the young Guardian, Twilight correct?
[Grand Cheif Romina, as Twilight nods]
"Now that I take a closer look you do remind me of your father, Shiro."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"You knew my father?"
[Twilight]
"Oh my dear child, everyone knows your father. He is a legend. The Great Arch Mage of Light."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"Yes, I know the legends you're speaking of."
[Twilight]
"Good. He once came to this village when I was younger, he was a child too then. Exploring the world a bit on his fathers request. At that time your Grandfather, Theodonas, had almost completed his research and elimination of Sin. An essence imbalance which caused something similar to the corruption of the creatures it came into contact with. This outbreak causes Theodoans to send out not just your father, but other heroes and Guardians. So just like you, well before he became a Guardian your father was already a hero to us all."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"So the Corruption we have now has been fought somewhat before?"
[Twilight]
"Yes, though the people of our world were not affected by it. And Even though we weren't ready, the Guardians and the four schools were one and whole."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"The four schools?"
[Twilight]
"Yes, the four Schools. Some are known, some are hidden but they are all renowned. The Legion, the Guardian Knights, the Academy, and the Order or what we now know it as, the Cult."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"Wait the Cult was good?"
[Twilight]
"Yes, they would train the world's greatest mages. Your father was actually a part of their group when he was a child. That's how I met him. They came in search of new mages, it was a small group of them and even at your fathers young age he was the elite among those maybe twice his age."
[Grand Chief Romina]
"What did he look like?"
[Twilight]
"He was a young child, his hair was still fair but full, white as snow. It was beautiful and when he transformed it was majestic."
[Grand Chief Romina]
