The Art of Magic The Arduous Journey Ahead
It was early morning. The sun's rays have barely peeked through the horizon however by some sort of miracle. Nex was awake. She stared at her ceiling, seemingly unable to fall back to sleep. She lay motionless on her bed staring at the flashing screen of the holo TV. Her hands spread eagle as her left hand was clutching the locket Haruki gave her. She lifted her hand to stare at it only for her to close her eyes. She forced herself to sit up and open the blinds on her windows. She stared at Paradise City slowly turning off its blinding lights. All ready for a hard reboot, as it mimicked the rising sun. She put her palms on the window as she watched the holographic advertisments on the side of the buildings on repeat."Once this gig is over... I'll come find you. I promise." She said as she turned her back against the window. She stared at her bags already packed and ready to go. Nova popped out of her shadow and stretched his feline limbs. [You're up early? Excited for another vacati

After freshening up, Nex along with her companions exited her apartment. She stared at her house one last time before turning towards them. "Alright It's gonna be awhile, I hope we haven't left anything important.Then as she turned towards her left she saw Mrs. Su about to go to the market with their android Qinyue. "Oh my Young Miss! Where are you going this time? You're even taking Blair." Nex smiled and grinned as she waved towards the nice old lady, "Oh, another business trip. I'm getting busier and busier these days." Mrs. Su sighed and put her hands on her hips, "Ain't that the truth. MAke sure to eat properly alright? So how long do you plan on being out?" Nex scratched her cheeks from her question and wired rent for atleast 6 months. "That honestly depends on how long it would take. Hopefully after 2 weeks I'd be kickin it back here." She said as she laughed dryly.Mrs. Su nodded her head as she beckoned Qinyue, "Alright young lass stay safe!" Nex sreplied, "I will Mrs. Su!"
The Art of Magic The Golden Heart (I)
"Ain't it a sight to behold?"Nick's words flowed in and out of their ears as they stared at it's majesty. Too stunned to een sigh in amazement. It was a gilded City unlike the one's they know. The entire City was built on top of a floating island on top of the Planet Xynario's atmosphere. It's beauty cloaked for the universe's prying eyes. Unsullied by modern sensibilities as it preserved all sorts of lost cultures from all civilizations scattered across the vast cosmos. Myriads of Lifeforms, from towering giants to small pixie like creatures interact and peruse the various stalls filled with countless items both magical and exotic.Various building of all shapes and sizes that seemingly extent towards eternity, blend together in creating a golden spire of mythical incandescence. It was the prime example of a city of freedom. The fresh air felt refreshing as Nex inhaled various dished laid out in open restaurants that litter the market near them. In front of them was a golden statue
The Art of Magic The Golden Heart (II)
As they stood in front of the gilded gates, as if sensing their prescence, it immediately swung open. Nick then strutted towards the unguarded mansion. As soon as they entered there were two golems that stood tall posing as statues.Then they reched the central fountain surrounded by a mindbending hedgemaze making Nick chuckle wryly as he brought out an amulet that dispelled the illusion. The hedgemaze disappeared and suddenly they were transported towards the front door.Once more the doors swung open and a maid was standing in wait. She looked towards Nick and his companions. "Good Day Sir Nicholas, Lord Caglisotro will see you now. He thanks you for taking time off your busy schedule and visiting him."The maid said as she led them towards the house owner's study. She gently opened the door, then they were greeted by rows of cabinets filled with books. In the center of the room near the window was a desk and behind it was a tall silhouette of a man looking out the window. "Sir Nich
The Art of Magic Exploring the City
The two slowly walked aimlessly perusing the most random of things. "So are you joining the Adventurers Guild?" Setsuna said as she stared at the gothic bags being sold inside a goth clothing store. Nex followed along as she pondered her question, "Honestly... I don't know, bounty hunting has always been a mean to an end. To find the right connections, so I could deal with Magitech." She said as she looked at the jackets lined up with various types of designs. "As for when everything's over... I haven't really thought about it really..."Setsuna chuckled, "You got that right." She said as they bought random items and they both exited the store. The two grabbed some drinks and stared at the various walks of life roaming the city as they sat down on a nearby bench. "I never thought I'd get this far this quickly. 8 years felt like an eternity but coming face to face with it now." She sipped her cold drink slowly. "It just seemed so fast to me." She said as she leaned forwards.Setsuna lo
The Art of Magic After the party it's just you and me...
After having a nice candle lit dinner Nex stared at the pouch Nick gave her and it was still filled to the brim after all that shopping and eating. She stared towards Setsuna, "The night's still young and Nick's wallet is still too full. Wanna go hit the bar?" She said making Setsuna raise her eyebrows. "We have some studying to do tommorow, are you sure you wanna blow all our cash on alcohol?" Nex hurriedly nodded her head, "It's not my money and besides, We're going to war. It's not like we had anything better to do." She said as she dangled the pounch on Setsuna's face as it made loud clinking noises. "So whaddya say Miss Setsuna? Wanna go party?"Setsuna pondered while scrathcing her chin, "You wanna waste all that money, while you barely tipped the waiter. That's fucked up Nex." She said while chuckling softly making Nex shrug his shoulders, "He was so condescending! Just because he knew what italian was and we didn't..." She said as she grumbled whilst putting her hands in her p
The Art of Magic The Hangover (I)
Nick looked towards the sleeping duo sprawled next to each other in the garden of the mayor of the Golden heart with his brows furrowed. The two was snoring loudly without a care in the world as the maids praced around them seemingly afraid of disturbing them. He then looked towards Blair, "So you're telling me, they arrived here at three in the morning while giggling loudly and they tried to find the solution to the maze illusion but gaveup after 30 seconds and just sprawled in the ground and slept? Did I get all that right?" He asked as Blair nodded her head mechanically as she tried shaking the two but they we're out like a light." Blair shook her head, "I do not understand your desire to consume alchohol even if there's a cure for liver damage. I don't get why you willingly get yourselves inebriated." Nick scratched his chin, "Well you understand well enough while hanging out with us." He said as he patted her back. Soon enough he saw the owner of the house grinning, "They remind

The moment they entered the fortress they were greeted by a lobby filled with all sorts of adveturers hanging about. Taking a peek at the holographic screen floating above on which job is available, from dangerous jobs to menial ones it was filled to the brim. "So this is just the Magical Version of the BH guild?" Nex said as she stared at Nick. "Well... the original version of it atleast. The BH guild was established by a well known Rogue Mage a long time ago who wanted to be of service to the on mytical part of our universe. The problem was it got to political to be even associated with the Circle and the Adventurers Guild. It became a mess that birthed the current neutral entity that is the BH Guild." He said as he approached the receptionist for his reserved briefing room. A small pixie popped out of thin air right beside nick's shoulders and led them towards their destination. Nick pointed towards a huge empty room with nothing but a blackboard infront of them. Nex groaned as sh
