On an isolated shack floating across the isolated space within the dimensional gap. A man was peacefully sleeping. No sunlight nor the chirping of birds would deter him from wrapped in the warmth of his blanket. The only thing that would on the other hand was the alarm clock perfectly positioned right beside his ears.Ring! Ring! Ring!The alarm clock slowly shook as its loud rings echoed across the tiny shack. Nick frowned as his hand stumbled finding the blasted thing. The moment he grabbed hold of it, his hands burst into flames turning the red alarm clock into naught but ash. However the silent solace would soon be disturbed once more as a blue magic circle appeared right infront of his hace and doused it with freezing cold water."Cough! Cough! Fucking hell!" He said as he sat up and snapped his fingers, drying the area wet with ice cold water. He stared at the floating hologram of the man snickering at his misery. He was a suave gentleman. Black hair swept backwards, A fitted bl
After passing through the great hall they walked towards the middle corridor and soon reached the end of it. The three were standing infront of a simple door. Aleister then looked towards his two companions with a smile. "I've redecorated the interior of the meeting room, I hope you old folks don't mind." He said as he softly pushed open the wooden double doors. What greeted the two of them was a massive hall with layers upon layes of seats akin to the Roman colliseum where a large circular platform in the middle carried the Crest of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.All of the seats from the top to bottom were filled to the brim. However in the top of the thousands of seats was a rectangular platform containing 12 gilded seats for the Great Elders of the Aurora Aurea. Nine of the seats were already filled up. In total all of them together are composed of 6 witches, 5 Arch Magi and 1 Necromancer. The moment Nick at down from his seat a hand extended towards him asking for a hand
The twelve listened on the young man's long winded and fancy speech, a little bored. On their long lifespans they have both seen and heard almost anything. To them this regurgitated bullshit is only as fancy for the young bloods. At that moment the young man grew silent as he waved his hands towards the air. Soon a series of large screens appeared in the air showing various images. "Now, as you are all gathered here today. It is time to get to the heart of the matter. As you know there has been an increase in rogue mages. In the last few years more and more have scoured the lands ignoring the circle's warnings as they researched on their own. Blinded by their arrogance, thinking that by doing taboo research would further skills and talents. Making them on of the greatest archmages and withces of all time, but it only painted a target on their backs." He said as he showed various images of rogue mages getting killed in action. "If you think Magitech is the only one hunting down rogue
It was black. All around her was shadowy black darkness. She tried to move but her entire body felt heavy, she felt like she was tied up in straps. The moment her purple eyes adjusted and finally saw through the darkness. She found herself submerged in Ink like water. From a distance away she could see a large pristine Villa. It looked like it was shining, beckoning her to move towards it. The more she got closer towards the glistening building the heavier her body felt. It felt like she was tied down by rocks, as she moved through the murky waters. Then she felt like a breeze went past her, and geard a young boy's voice. "Mara c'mon! We're gonna be late! Sir Fabian's gonna scold us again!" A boy with short blonde hair said towards her as he ran past her. Her mouth moved but what came out was not her normal voice. It was younger, more naive and cheerful. Unlike her raspy and hostile tone. "Wait! Don't run too fast! Mom's gonna kill me if you trip again!" She said as a shadow of
Nex exited her room whilst holding her aching head. She saw Blair already in her cooking attire watching the live broadcast of her favorite radio show. Nex sat down on the table as she tuned in whilst she watched nova in his cat form strech and frolick around.[Damn girl, You looked like you've seen a ghost.] He said to her telepathically. Nex however just shrugged her shoulders. As she turned her attention towards the show. A man with a silvery smooth voice then shouted as his voice echoed across the room.>Nex raised her eyebrows, "An earthquake? Damn, I
Nex stood infront of the mirror as she wore her new digs. It was a black jacket instead of a white one, a dark purple shirt inside, and new fitted black pants. She then sat down as she wore her new purple shoes while eating toasted bread. "What's the rush?" Blair said as she sat down on the sofa watching a soap opera local to the planet. "Gotta meet my boss. I don't wanna make her wait. I love my rich life after all."[This is the first time I've seen you panic. She must be really strong.] Nova chimed in as he climbed up Nex's shoulders. "Are you kidding me? She's Bonnie Goldhand! She's practically a fucking legend. During the Ragnarok split she helped Kaz overthrow the former leader Kazama Touma. Not only that during the Tartarus Breakout I heard she was on vacation on ganymede. So she took all bounties from the local shop and took down almost all escapees. She's amazing!" Nex gushed as nova licked his paws. [You're saying names, places and events but I don't know who these people ar
There was a second of silence within the room as Nex stared at Bonnie as her hands tapped her thighs repeatedly."So all I get is a slap on the wrist? Oh, thanks by the way." She asked as she took the cup of coffee Shenhua brewed for her. "Most would lose their shit if they wont down a rank, you know?" Nex shrugged as she sipped on her drink wincing slightly. "Oh wow that is a real kicker, but no. I'm not really one that bothers with rank. Montoya got killed because he deserved it. Besides, whether I'm rank 12 or 13 don't matter one bit. I'm one of your most effective killers." She said as she smirked whilst putting down the cup of coffee on the nearby table.Bonnie gave her a soft smile as she crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa. "Ain't that the truth. Well since your quite familiar with how the guild does things I hope you don't mind doing a little extra for me. Since, I saved your ass and all." Nex shrugged as she looked at Shen Hua playing with Nova quietly. "Alright, Wh
“Ain’t you the special little girl. Now, Originally I thought you’d be some kind of Devil contractor. I have been observing your endeavors Miss Nex. Especially during the time I retrieved Alex from your clumsy little hands.” She said while sending a snarky grin towards the focused woman. “Tsk. I’m not the one who ran away.” She said as she looked away. Solemne only chuckled towards her toothless remark, “Keep telling yourself that little girl.” Bonnie coughed loudly, “Enough. Now what does this mean in the grand scheme of things.” Solemne shrugged and looked towards the cat frolicking around. “It means only one thing.” She said as she stood up and tapped her wrist drive. “This is a list of registered rogue mages on various associations. They would probably tell the U.C.P. of your existence to become a lab rat and benefit from it on the process. The unregistered one’s on the other hand would want your grimoire for themselves. Ain’t that just a sunny walk on the park?” “Is that the art
