"Thank you." I reply, making a small gesture of appreciation with my head. "But you must know you will face perils in this quest, but you will also be well rewarded." I take a careful look at the boy and the Arcanus. They are clearly excited about the "adventure" they'll go in, yet the boy worries about his mother safety, that I can tell easily. I grab his hand gently and say: "As for your mother, as I said before, I will see that she receives resources and the assistance necessary to live a comfortable life. I'll also try my best to make sure that, if you do join my cause, you'll be able to visit her periodically if you so desire. Do you understand?" I let go of his hand, grab a piece of paper and hand it to Mr. Reazle. It's a white piece of paper with nothing written in it, except for a seal glowing in pale blue light. It is the Great Seal of the Realm, but this one is unique than any other used, as I granted to it a magical spell to be used in a proper situation. "If you do so wish to join my in my quest, you most travel to the Polis of Sidney in Australia. However, no boats will take you there in the current weather, so I arranged to you a private boat. Go to the Port of Sinagpore and search for the Warehouse 17. In it, you'll meet a old Chinese sailor who goes by the name Zhou. He is fearless and skilled, quite capable to take you through the storm. Show him this letter and he will agree to take you. In your way, you'll most likely stop by Jakarta to pick up a man. Take only the essential, I'll arrange that your belongings reach you later on. It's important that you reach Sidney before Trinitas, so leave as soon as possible. Once you are in Sidney, Mr. Reazle, go to a hotel with the name 'The Reef'. Look for the owner, a Ge and when he asks for your identity, remember to reply: 'I am but a bird that has left the nest.' He will instruct you on what to do next." I look at him one last time before leaving. He sure is young, but carries potential. However, I question myself if he is prepared for what he will face. I conclude: "Now, I must take my leave. Farewell, and thank you for listening to my request." I walk to Mrs. Helena, hold her hand and say: "I promise I'll look into your son's safety and your well being. And so you don't forget what happened today and find yourself lonely, confused or missing your dear Azle, I shall burn this day to your memory, ok?" I lift my finger and touch her forehead and cast a spell upon her. My fingers shine bright as her memory of that day is crystallized , never to be lost. "Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Helena. May the winds of the Goddess bring you safety and prosperity. Farewell" I exit the house and close my eyes. The storm resumes as if had never stopped in first place, but before any drop of rain can touch me, I'm already gone to my next appointment. |

As soon as Marcus lied down on his bed again, the storm outside stopped suddenly, and a faint ray of sunlight pierced through his window. However, he could not see that for he was already in his dreams. *knock knock* A faint knocking on the door and some inaudible words spoken by a sweet, feminine voices. The faint daylight of the window became brighter. *knock knock knock* The knocking got louder and so did the light. Now, the wind stopped blowing and the day became warmer. The same voice could be heard,, muffled by the walls: "An... ody...om...? Mis... cus?" *knock knock KNOCK!* This time, the last knock was so strong that the door shook a little. A louder, male, authoritarian and more fierce voice came from outside. "Mr Marcus Calma! Are you home!? It's important!" |

The man who answered the door was quite drowsy. I must have woken him up. He called me sir, probably because of the magically altered voice I used to wake him up. Considering that, I should introduce myself properly. "Ahem, I am no sir. I am Lizbeth of Caliburn, Queen of the United Kingdom of Magician Britannia, Sovereign of Magic and Magical Af--- airs......" And that's when I realize he is not wearing any pants, just boxer shorts! Is that a way to greet someone, specially a Queen? Even if it wasn't me who were at the door, I'm pretty sure anyone would not want to see this man in his underwear! How indecent! He should at least bother to put some clothes! I cover my eyes and stretch my arm towards him. "Is that how you greet someone at your door!? Don't you have manners!? What kind of impolite troglodyte are you!? Can't you properly dress yourself!?" I cast on him a spell that pushes him to the opposite side of the room. He hits the wall with force and falls on the ground. I snap my finger four seals appear on the air, and from each of them comes a chain that grabs Mr. Marcus arms and legs and lift him on the air with his legs and arms stretched. "Don't you ever greet anyone like that ever again! Specially a girl! Specially your Queen!" I point my right hand at him and my left hand to his wardrobe. A smoke comes out of it, encircles me and flies towards him. The smoke covers his body and materializes his clothes on him. I lower my hand and the chains gently and graciously put him back on his feet. "Now that you are properly dressed, Mr. Marcus, we can continue. I'm here to speak with your Arcanus, Anon, and you about an important matter regarding your Kingdom. You enjoy traveling, right? What if I told you that the offer I'm about to make to you will allow you to travel to all corners of this world and maybe other worlds too... for free? Are you interested? Would you listen to what I have to say?"[/quote] Edited by Sonwe, Jun 21 2013, 01:19 AM.

"Thank you for the invitation. I shall not stay for long" I replied, walking in. I look around... truly a bachelor's place. I approach Anon and say: "Even if you are shy, Anon, I shall need your words on this, even if it's through your Companion. Understood?" I could very well just enact a Oath that would force the Arcanus to speak, and Anon certainly knows I can do that, however, I'm no tyrant and I shall respect its silence. In case it does come to this, I wonder how I should name the Oath... Oath of Extroversion. I laugh myself at the silliness of this. Let's hope it does not come to this. "Very well... I'm here to summon you, both of you, to my cause. It's necessary that both of you agree on joining, otherwise it's no use. I'm assembling a group of individuals that will serve directly under my command. This group that you'll also be a member, if you agree to follow me, shall work with the purpose of protecting the United Kingdom." I stop, take a close inspection at he man and his ever silent Arcanus. For some reason that does intrigue me, Mr. Marcus wears glasses without lens. While I am curious, the reasons do not concern me. I continue: "I must warn you, Mr. Marcus, that while you shall be given the opportunity to travel the world and make a wealth out of it, you shall also face many dangers and fight many battles, your life shall be at constant risk. All of this you shall do under my commands. However, I'm pretty sure you can take care of yourself and Anon is not lacking in terms of magical capabilities." I look at Anon. "Anon, I have come to you because I believe you and your Companion have the potential I seek. While I shall not force either of you to join me, I'll be forever grateful if you do." I wait for their reply. |

---A--- Matt and Sasha got into the hideous looking female human's kitchen. I still do not trust Irinushka, but she pays us for the services and gives us a place to stay, so I cannot really complain. The kitchen is oddly big enough to fit the Golem inside. Not every houses are developed to fit Golems which makes me even more suspicious of the woman. I bet she murdered the true Golem owner of the house and claimed it for her own. I just can't find the evidences to back up my theory. Matt gets all the cooking apparels and ingredients and start doing his "magic" with the stove. Meanwhile, Sasha wets her throat with her self-brewed coffee. If there is one thing that Sasha does not let Matt do for her when it comes to cooking is brewing her hot, dark, strong, energy-inducing beverage. The her thermal bottle runs dry and she opens her chamber's door, jumps from Matt's chest saying: "Step aside. Brewing coffee." Your addiction to this hot beverage will bring you doom someday, my dear. Nonsense! Coffee is harmless. "Bzzztt beep bip bop" Food is ready, that's what the metal person tried to say. A bell rang to tell the guests at the Inn about the impending breakfast. In less than 20 minutes, the tables at the "restaurant" are full and food is soon gone. After eating, Sasha jumps back into Matt saying: "Irinushka! Gonna go look for a job. Won't be back for lunch. Bye." "Be careful with the blizzard, dear." We leave to the cold streets of Novosibirsk during the harsh snowstorm. More than gladly, I'm an Arcanus so the weather conditions are meaningless to me, and Sasha, which is all that matters, is safe and sound inside her warm chamber within Matt. The man himself is a Golem, so, as long as his joints don't freeze, he will be more than fine. Sasha order Matt to take her to the Train Station. She is obviously wanting to see if the trains are running in the storm and if her money is enough to buy a ticket. If it, is, she will just jump into the train and leave Novosibirsk behind without even saying goodbye to the old witch. A right decision in my humble opinion. But oh the woe, while the trains are running normally to Moscow, the money we have is not enough to afford a ticket. Sasha sulks and Matt cheers her up. He shows her a piece of paper offering a job that he could take. Something about carrying blocks of concrete around a construction site. It pays well too. We go to that site right away. |

I face Mr. Marcus again and give him a piece of paper. It's the same piece of paper I gave the Mr. Reazle a while ago. "If you truly do desire to join my cause like you just stated, you most travel to Sidney and be there before Trinitas. I have arranged for a boat to come take you. It shall be at the Tanjung Priok Port at some time today, I'm not sure when. The captain is a Chinese man named Zhou. Show him this letter and he shall agree to take you. It's most likely that there'll also be a boy on the boat who also decided to follow me. Once you reach Sidney, look for a Hotel named 'The Reef'. There, speak to the Ge owner and when he asks who you are, you reply: 'I am but a traveler that seeks distant lands' and he shall instruct what to do next. One more thing, take only the essential. I shall arrange that the rest of your things reach you eventually." I walk to the door, turn around and smile. I wave a goodbye saying: "Now I must leave. Farewell. I shall wait for you. May the Trinity Goddess cast her magic upon your journey. And please, wear pants on our next meeting." And as I exit the house through the door, I disappear inside a magic sigil that is a portal. The storm resumes. |

I knew there wouldn't be anyone there at said construction site. I warned here so, yet she insisted into coming. Now, we stand in front of closed gates, under a blizzard, there is snow reaching the height of my knee (which is not a short height). Everyone, even the supposed employer, must be now inside the comfort of their homes, in front of warm fireplaces or Flamecites. Meanwhile, we stand here getting soaked with melted snow. I can only be thankful that Sasha is safe and warm inside my chest, with her cup of coffee. But keeping the chamber warm is a energy consuming job and I'm getting tired. "This is helpless..." Sasha says. "Beep bzzt." I agree with a thumbs-up. "The blizzard got worse and there is no way we can get ourselves back to that hellhole of Inn with all this snow. Our visibility has drastically decayed to the points of near blindness with all this snow. It's not that I do not put confidence on your strength and skills, big guy, but the weather is to rough even for the Goddess." Cog tells me. "Behold towards that direction, for I see shelter there. We should wait there." "Can't you just say: 'Let's go to that inside that building for shelter'? You took so long to say it that my legs froze." Sasha replied, mockingly. She detested Cog's way of speaking, since he usually spoken too much words to see little. I couldn't help but laugh at her remark though. If there is one thing Sasha likes doing is making fun of her own disability. That shows how strong she is, not letting it get into her way of living. Said building is actually a shack used to store tools. It wasn't the best place to protect oneself from the blizzard, but it was warm and we were safe from the snow. The strong wind, however, made a weird sound when it went through the cracks in the structure. As Sasha drinks more from her bottle of coffee, I decide to close my eyes for a while to rest... ...STAND BY MODE ON.... ----A---- Matt fell asleep. It's not really sleeping. It's a "Stand By" mode, which means he is saving energy by maintaining only the essential to keep his body function. Sasha says that this mode is a proof of Matt's oldness, as it's actually a prototype to the actual sleeping that the Golems of current days can enter, much like a organic being. However, Matt also can sleep, with proves he is not a prototype Golem. I enter Sasha's chamber and she holds me with her arms. She begin to caress me gently. She begins to sing Kalinka, a Russian folk song that her father taught her. I can feel she is still upset about her dream, thinking of her mother and father. Thinking of her city, the industrial of Vechnaya Metel', which produces pieces for Golems, specially powercells. They are explored there, and the Tsar does nothing to stop it. They have no food, they are underpayed and plagued by a never ending winter. Worry not, Alexandra... Once we finally get to see the Tsar, things will get better. I'm uncertain... And as she said that, the blizzard came to a sudden, miraculous halt. The wind stopped and warmth filled the shack like it was Summer. I sensed outside a strong magic and some powerful being appeared. That sensation, that feeling, that could only be...... I was wrong about the Goddess and the weather. "Matryoshka, on guard!" Sasha warned. ----C---- ...STAND BY MODE OFF - SYSTEMS ACTIVATE.... The blizzard... it stopped. What is this? My thermometer is showing temperatures of a hot summer day. Did it break? No... it's right, I can tell by the surrounding. It is indeed warm. A sound comes from outside. It's footsteps on the melting snow. As the door opens, I stand open and prepare myself to attack, but I stop when I see who is on the other side. It's just a girl, a pink haired girl. She smiles and waves at us saying: "Hello, Mister. Matryoshka, Miss Alexandra, Mister Cog. I am Lizbeth of Caliburn, Queen of the United Kingdom of Magician Britannia." "My Queen, Your Highness!" Cog says, jumping down from Sasha's lap and bowing before the girl. She pets the magical fox, and says: "Mr. Cog, my dear, I'm here to summon you and your Companions to an important quest for the sake of UK. The well being of the kingdom depends on you. Would you listen?" "I.... I am not certain of this matter, Your Highness, for you see, we are already in a quest and.... I want to help you, I truly do, but my loyalty to Sasha comes first..." The Arcanus looks confused, as if torn between two great decisions. Sasha, still inside of me, is with an weird expression on her face, something between anger and resentment. She is shaking. I'm worried. "Sasha, I think it's best if we listen what the Queen has to sa---" Cog begins to say when Sasha suddenly interrupts him: "No!" 'Bee bzzt krrig!" Sasha, what are you doing, she is the Queen! "Royalty never cared for us before! I couldn't care less about your silly Kingdom. You never cared about us, no one have. You, the Tsar, everyone just sits around drinking vodka or tea or whatever you Royal folks drink while the common folk works all day and dies from starvation. I don't care if you are Queen, Goddess or whatever. I have my own mission right now." "I'm sorry my Queen, but if Sasha says no... I have to agree with her. Forgive me." Cog said. It was the first time I ever saw the fox truly regret something. That girl, the Queen, was someone who Cog respected and held not a single drop of suspicion towards... amazing. "I understand. Worry not, I hold no grudge. Miss Alexandra, I understand that the conditions at Vechnaya Metel' are terrible, and that's what I'm trying to change with my mission. Russia may be under the control of the Tsar, but it's also part of my Kingdom." The mention of Sasha's city's name took the girl off guard. She couldn't expect the Queen to even hear of her city, let alone know its condition. "I have no power of political affairs, as my status as Queen only gives me authority of Magical Affairs, yet that was something I wanted to change, and that's why I'm on this quest. I want to create a better UK, not just for me or royalty, but for everyone, for you and your father." "My... father...?" Sasha said, shocked. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you with my problems. Good luck on your mission." The Queen said. She bowed a bit with her head and turned around. As she was about to leave the shack, Sasha spoke: "The Tsar... I heard he is related to you.... your cousin, right? If we join you... will we meet him?" The Queen turned around, her face showed nothing, she was impossible to read. "Most likely, yes. You'll be traveling all over the world under my name. Meeting with my cousin for me is almost certain to happen." "And... we will be able to do something about Vechnaya Metel's condition?" "Yes... and about the whole world's condition too. I thrive to create a better world with this quest of mine." Sasha became silent. She called Cog to her and closed the drapes of her chamber so she could be alone. Meanwhile, the Queen looked at me and spoke: "You certainly are a lucky Golem, Mr. Matryoshka. You defied death and is now accompanied of a honorable child like Sasha. The Goddess has smiled upon you." I was amazed. How could she even knows about that? Is the stories that they tell you, that the Queen is one of the persons of the Trinity Goddess is true? Sasha's dad said those were male legends, folk tales made up by the Queens of the past themselves to obtain more power, but... "Yes, I am indeed the Avatar of the Goddess and one of the hypostases of the Trinity Goddess. I am the Gran Arcanus, in other words, the representation of the Goddess in the Realm of Reality." Did she just read my mind?! She laughs warmly and says: "No dear, I did not read your mind. But the expression in your mechanical face tells me exactly what you are thinking." "Beep bzzt" I'm sorry to have doubt you, I try to say, uncertain if she will understand. "It's fine, I get that a lot." At that moment Sasha gets out of the chamber with a serious expression and says: "We'll join you. I can't promise anything regarding my loyalty, though. I'm still in my own mission. I'm sure Matryoshka will also join you." I will, I have no choice after all. I'm bound to Sasha. "How delightful!" The Queen says, clapping her hands and smiling. "Take the next train to Moscow them. Once there, look for a Hotel called 'Snowflakes' and when the owner, a Vladescu lady, asks who you are, you answer: 'We are but those who, against all odds, keep on living.' She shall instruct you what to do next. I'm certain you carry everything you need with you right now, so hurry. You must be in Moscow before Trinitas, and the train departs in ten minutes. Now, I must leave. Thank you for attending my request. Farewell, and may the Trinity Goddess cast her magic upon your journey." Saying that, the Queen disappeared in snowflakes. The temperature dropped and the blizzard resumed. Sasha told me to hurry to the train station and so I did. Going through the snow wasn't easy, but gladly it was partially melted from the Queen's influence on the weather earlier. I heard Cog's thoughts in my head: She was just venting her frustration on the Queen. And Queen Lizbeth knew that. She had us in her hand all along. She knew how to convince Sasha to join... that Queen is clever, even for a girl that age. Sure, now that she is gone, Cog suspects her. Typical. But he is right though. She played Sasha like a puppet. Amazing lady. I wonder if the Tsar is like that. We reach the station with only two minutes before the train departs. That's when Sasha remember we have no money to pay for tickets. "We have no time for that. We have to get into that train no matter what. The Queen demands so." Sasha smiles. I know what she is thinking and I don't like it... She wants to break the law. I must find another solution before... "Matryoshka, Magnetic Pulse, now!" I feared this... I ready my Technomagic on my Blank Bomb. The guards notice what I'm doing and prepare to stop me with their weapons and robots. What they couldn't know was that my magic would make them useless. I throw the Blank Bomb and when it touches the ground, it explodes releasing electromagnetic waves. It jams their guns and the robots begin to spin around crazy and confused. I slam the gate open and run to the platform. I hear the comotion behing me. The train whistles and takes off as I run after it. I jump on the tracks after it, but it's gaining velocity and I'm getting left behind. I put more energy on my legs, diminishing the energy output to my other areas and run, run, run like I never ran before. I'm just a few inches from the last car of the train and Cog yells: "Matt! take impulse with your legs upward... I mean... Jump!" And so I do, and for a few inches that I don't miss the train. I hold myself on the fence and slam the door open. We are in now, thankfully. It's a luggage car, with piles and piles of luggage and suitcases of unknown people. I sit on a corner, behind a wall of bags. I'm so tired, I need to rest. I hope they don't find us here and throw us off in the nearest station or in the white vastness of Siberia. "Let's stay here until we reach Moscow. It should take a few hours. Rest now, Matryoshka, you did well." Sasha's voice soothes me. I close my eyes and think about what lies ahead, where this endless railroad we call Life will take us now. Before I notice, I'm dreaming. |

The Chinese man gave a serious, rude glare at the Reazle. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a raincoat. He didn't look very happy by the boy bothering him, as he was there waiting for a important person of the United Kingdo. He told them that he wouldn't take not even the Queen herself in his boat if the storm didn't diminished, but when they offered him money, he agreed to wait for the person and tell him what to do while the storm didn't pass. But them he glanced upon the paper the boy held in his hand. He was told that the person would be holding a piece of paper. Could it be him? That boy? He was told to read the paper. "Yes, I'm Zhou. If you are the one who I think, that paper must belong to me." Saying that, Zhou took the paper out of Reazle's hand, and opened it expecting an important message, or maybe the information for how to get the money transferred to his account. To his surprise, all he found was a strange symbol glowing blue. Before Zhou could even say a word of frustration, the Seal shone more brightly and also appeared inside his eyes, then disappeared from both the paper and his eyes. His attitude suddenly change, he smiled politely at Reazle and said: "Oh, Mister Reazle. I've been expecting you. Our vessel is this way. It's not much but it can survive the storm, thanks to my great sailing skills." The man said that as if he was reading it out of a script. His voice had an oddly cheerful monotone to and his smile didn't even shake as he spoke. The man was obviously mesmerized by the magic that Queen Lizbeth had imbued in that paper. He guided Reazle through the other side of the Warehouse and they exited to the storm again. The boat waited just a few meters away, shaking fiercely because of the wind and the unsettled sea water. It was a typical fishing boat, it didn't look neither old nor new, it was in good conditions but it didn't seem to have any uniqueness in it that would make it any better to survive the storm. It also didn't appeared to be enchanted with some sort of protective magic. It was a plain, ordinary fishing boat. "Please, get in through here." Zhao said, and casting a magic spell, he made a metal bridge appear connecting the boat to the harbor. He helped Reazle, as they boarded the boat, so the boy wouldn't fall in the water because of the storm. Zhou then led the boy to the cabin, saying that he would be safe and warm from the storm in there. He showed the boy the food that was in the cabinet and handled him a towel so he could dry himself. The cabin had a table with six benches, were the sailors probably sat and eat, a stove so they could cook and a few beds that were not very comfortable but suitable to sleep. It also had an old TV which wasn't working because of the storm and a Flamecite Lamp to keep everything warm without the danger of setting the boat of fire. The only danger would be if it received to much energy and released all its magic at once, which is unlikely to happen. The cabin had some leaks, but nothing to worry about. "You just stay there and relax. We will be departing right now. It'll not be an easy journey. I hope you don't have sea sickness. Say good bye to Singapore. I'll tell you once we reach Jakarta to refuel and get the other person, if he shows up." Zhou went upstairs and in just a few minutes, the sound and shaking of the engine could be felt by Reazle. They were moving, heading towards Jakarta. The storm remained the same. ------------------------------------------------- Lizbeth stretched her hand to capture a snowflake. There were lots of them in Russia, but they were from a blizzard, so not as pleasant as the gentle snow was falling in Ukraine. She enjoyed as they dotted her hair and clothes white, but knowing the she would get soaked as they melted with her body warmth, she span her hand above her head, creating a small silvery sigil that soon faded, and the snow that was in her body "jumped" from it to the ground, as the flakes which fell from the sky evaded her petite body. She approached the farm's gate. She opened it with her delicate hands, even though using telekinetic magic would be much simpler. Lizbeth believes that using magic to do simple things that can be done without it is just a lazy way to live. As she walked up the path, with her arms stretched. As she moved, she magically awoken the seeds that slept under the layers of snow, making plants grow almost instantly from the ground, bear flowers and then fruits. She also did the same with the dry bushes, which hibernated leavesless in the winter. She also believes that using magic to make beautiful, nice things is the correct way to use it. Once she reached the door to the house, the pathway behind there was crowned with green plants, colorful flowers and delicious-looking fruits from both sides. Those plants were more beautiful than they ever were and will be, no matter how great they were taken care or how blessing was the Spring. She heard the noises from inside the house and that made her smile. They were obviously preparing breakfast. Before knocking, she looked upon what she was wearing. It was still the heavy layers of coats and sweaters she wore at the cold Novosibirsk, and they would be too warm inside the heat of the house, so she moved her hands across her body, from the height of the neck to knees and then away, as if showing her clothes to someone. As she did that, the clothes morphed themselves into long white coat. Her sapphire tiara changed to her iconic golden crown adorned huge, polished diamonds that resembled prisms and crystal spikes all around it. Lizbeth smiled as she knocked the door. She waited to be answered, still smiling and wondering how things would develop in there. She was really excited about this "meeting". She thought of her mother. |
