Sanctuary - Outside Molack's Forge

Zero guessed that this was the best choice, though getting the oil was extremely hard to get, he was happy it's going to be used to help out. Just then, the doors to the forge blew open and out of instinct, Zero used his crimson red wind to surround the 4 of them in a protective dome and within a few seconds, the smoke started to clear and the wind dome dissipated. The strong smell of sulfur made Zero plug his nose, due to his nose being stronger thanks to his jin half. Then Molack was able to mutter a few words and Zero stepped closer to him.

"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."

Molack's Forge


Since things were calm again, Nera went inside to check on the blacksmith and court mage´s work, just after she closed the door, the magic of the chronomancer fell and an explosion of smoke and heat went towards her. The yaju´s instinct kicked in as she opened on of the vials and released the water from it, with a gesture of her hand, the vixen made a rectangle of water in front of her and made it into the form of ice. Most of the heat and smoke passed on her sides, but in the end, the yaju wasn´t affected by the explosion.

Then the two figures of the blacksmith and the mage passed on her side and opened the door, she followed them without saying a word.

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Sanctuary | Outside Molack's Forge

Seeing her father stumble out of the forge surprised Zena in a rather unpleasant way. As soon as the dragon boy had lowered his barrier of winds the girl quickly rushed over along with Zero to see if he was alright. "FATHER! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" she called to him as she then knelt down by his side to check on him. By this time however the scoffing had mostly stopped The orc had regained his compsure and cleared his throat.

"I'm fine thank you." he said in responce to his daughter. "Sorry to keep you waiting m'boy. You'er blade has been fully repaired." Molack explained as he held up the now sheathed blade in both hands. He pulled the blade out of the sheath by just a few inches to show that the blade was in fact not damages and sharper than ever, but it looked a bit different some how. "The hilt of the blade was damaged beyond repair so i replaced it with one of my own. This one is has been used by the orcs for years. You won't be breaking this hilt any time soon. The blade has been fully mended, sharpened and polished to perfection. I even took the time to inscribe your name on the handle. Is everything to your liking?"

The handle of the blade did look a bit different and this time around seemed to have a softer material covering the hard part underneath. Whatever this strange meterial was, it looked like it would be able to absorb the shock from most blows from and clashing of swords. In other words it won't hurt your hands while you use it. Just as Molack had promised Zero's name was also marked on the handle by what looked like golden stitching. It was clear that Molack but a lot of effort into the blade despite how quickly he and the time mage managed to fix it.

Sanctuary - Outside Molack's Forge

Zero was impressed by how fast it was fixed. "Molack said an hour but it's only been about 25 minutes at most. Got to hand it to Sanctuary forgers, they know their stuff." Zero thought as he takes the sheath and then takes the handle and draws the blade. "It came out so smoothly." Zero thought as he hands the long sword in front of him with both hands.Then suddenly, -Badump- massively strong crimson red wind bursted out. The magic was so strong that it can be felt even from the castle's Throne Room. The wind sped up, pushing even those with steady footing back. Zero then used all his strength just to resheath it. As soon as the long sword was sheathed, the wind stopped. "That...... was........ incredible. I never..... felt that much.... wind before." He said as he falls to one knee with the sword on the ground, panting. "It's way better than before and much more than expected. Thank you Molack sir and you too Mister Odion." Zero said as he smiles at Molack and Odion.

Access Elevator - Chronomancer's Tower - Outskirts of Pine Grove | Time: 4:03 PM

"Oh, he was smart. He would think up of things that I would have never even considered otherwise. He's actually thew one that taught me how to maintain some of the automatons here.", Azeruk said to Lavender as he closed up the access hatch. After doing so, the elevator had finally reached its destination, the bottom of the shaft.





Sky Spear Tree | Tenma's Court

Upon hearing Kazeane, Takeshi had opened the door and stepped inside, ready to hear Kazeane's next request, but when he found her on the ground, blushing hard and struggling to breathe, Takeshi's rather relaxed demeanor turned into a more urgent one.

"Kaze!? What's wrong!?", Takeshi asked as he raced towards her.

Sanctuary | Outside Molack's Forge

Molack was taken by surprise by the sudden gust of wind it caused him stumble a bit but he didn't fall over. Zena put her hands over the skirt of her outfit to keep it from being blow up too high and revealing more than she would have liked it too. Once the dust had settled and everyone had recovered from the shock wave, Zena approached the court mage. "Mister Odion sir." she said. I'm sorry to ask you this right after you finished working but my friend needs your help. Do you perhaps know of a cure for vampirism? His people have been infected by their curse and he's traveled all the way here to find a way to save them."

Odion thought but unlike his apprentice who took several moments to respond, Odion was able to answer almost imminently. He made a few more hand motions and soon after Bayuu translated for all of them. "Master Odion says he can help. But he's very fatigued. He won't be able to do the ritual himself until he has a chance to recover but luckily for you a light mage, or a paladin in your case can preform the ritual if you know how. My master can write down how to do it step by step and you should be able to pull it off."

Zena was suprised to hear that Odion thought she could preform such a ritual. It sounded like the sort of thing that would have been very advanced and complex but Bayuu's words made it sound so easy. "Well if you think i can do it i.." Zena suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence. The air around them had suddenly gone dark as though a large shadow had been cast upon the whole area. She looked to the sky and her eyes went wide with disbelief at what she saw.

Sanctuary | Up In The Sky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZhS61hQzcI

Above the skies of Sanctuary, seemingly out of nowhere appeared a massive monstrocity that would stike fear in the hearts of thousands. The massive skeleton of a long since dead dragon flew overhead carying on it's back a fortress about the size of Sanctuary's castle. The sky around Zena and the others went dark as this massive creature flew over head It didnt' apear to be flying very quickly but it's speed was actually quite fast considerign how much ground the dragon could over in but a few flaps of it boned wings. It reached the edge of the city in mear seconds, still visible from anywhere in sanctuary. It stopped, hovering in the air for only a moment as it turned it's head and fired off a single blast of dark energy into the city. mere moments passed. It was quicker than anyone could have avoided, and before they knew it, the massive blast of dark energy had struck the Artix statue, causing it to explode and shatter on impact. the area around the statue was also very badly damaged. the buildings around it wrer reduced to rubble and some were just barely left standing. Umong the buildings that were hit one of them was Molack's own forge. It was in better shape than most of the other buildings around it due to how strong Molack had built the stricture to be but it was still in ruin.

Zena tried to raise a shield of light magic to protect the others but it simply wasn't' enough. the shock wave of the blast alone would have killed the whole group of them of not for Odion using all his might to further power Zena's light magic while trapping the group in a worm hole of sorts that the shock wave was able to bypass. The smoke soon cleared but by that time the massive dragon was gone, far to far away for anyone to catch on foot and it seemed to be heading into the wilderness..

Zena got back on her feet and scanned the nearby area to check the wreckage. No one had died thanks to Odion's protection but there were many who had been badly injured. However what caught Zena's attention the most was the destruction of the Artix statue. The great hero who had inspired her to become who she was, her greatest roll model had been disrespected and that was unexceptionable. Zena grew angry, gritting her teeth as she got up. she didnt' even have to think about what she was going to do next there was only one thing on her mind and that was going after whoever was responsible for this destruction. As if the statue wasn't' bad enough the dragon had nearly killed her friends and her only family. Whoever had told it to do that was going to pay. She put her fingers to her lips and whistled loudly calling for her horse. Luckily her and her father's horses had been spared by Odion's magic as well and it wasn't' long before a beautiful brown and white horse leaped out of the nearby stables and rushed towards Zena. The elf quickly leaped on top the beasts's back and before anyone knew what happened, she was gone. bound and determined to catch up to the monster responsible for the mass destruction.

"ZENA WAIIIIT!" her father cried ass she rode off. But he was too late. The old orc panicked with worry for his only child. Adopted or not Zena meant the world to him and the thought of her getting hurt was too much for his old heart to bear. Of cores there would always be danger in her line of work but THIS? This was unlike anything he had ever seen. No way in hell could he let his daughter go face this all on his own. However the orc was too weak to stop her. Fixing Zero's swword had taken a toll on him as well and the recent stress h had been feeling made his chest hurt as though he were going to fall over dead at any moment. He tried to run after her at first but soon fell to one knee, clutching his chest as he knelt there on the ground helpless.

Molack gritted his teath in pain, he wouldn't be able to catch her in his condition and even if he did he would just be of even grater risk to her health. Though the pain however he did manage to speak. Zero.. m'boy please. Take my horse. I know you've already repaid your dept to me but please. I beg of you protect my daughter.. she's all i..." Before he could finish what he was saying the old orc collapsed on the ground. The stress of everything that had just happened was too much for him and caused him to have a heart attack. He could still be saved but he needed help immediately. Luckily it seemed Bayuu was on it. She quickly rushed over to him to treat the old orc but there were still many more people who needed rescuing and medical attention.

Molack's horse is waiting in the stables and could easily fit at least two people. What happened next all depended on the actions of those who remained. Would anyone go after Zena? if they did would they stop her or aid her in her quest for justice. A new adventure was dawning with limitless potential for glory honor revenge and death.

Sanctuary - Outside Molack's Forge

As Zero was catching his breath, the sky suddenly went dark and he looked up only to see a massively huge skeleton dragon fly overhead. The dragon stopped at the edge of Sanctuary and fired a blast of dark energy and it hit the Artix Statue that was close to them. Before Zero could do anything, Zena made a light shield and protected the group. As the smoke cleared, Zero can see the the Artix Statue was blown to bits and buildings were destroyed, only Molack's Forge stood due to it's strong built. Zero used his sword to prop himself up and looked around and saw no one was killed. Zero sighed in relief and as he turned to see if Molack and the others were ok, he saw that Zena was furious of what took place. Zena then whistled and 2 horses appeared and Zena got on one and took off. Molack tried to go after her but collapsed. "Molack sir!!" Zero said as he rushes over and so does Bayuu. Molack then begged of Zero to chase after her before passing out.

Zero looked forward towards where Zena ran off then he went to his bag and pulled out 5 more bottles of pure dragon oil and a green scroll and placed then next to Bayuu. "These are all the oils I have and this scroll shows how to use them for healing." He said as he places his sword on his back. "Molack sir, I'll look after her, she saved my life so now I own her." He said before jumping up and down a few times. "Zena said your name was Saru right? I'm going ahead, catch up on the horse." He said to Saru and then took off like a bullet using his wind trying to start to chase after Zena. "Whoever did this isn't going to like what's coming to them. Artix is an icon to everyone and.they just disrespected him." Zero thought as he ran extremely fast towards Zena.

"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."

Sanctuary

Nera raised an eyebrow at the situation with the new blade (seems like it indeed has great power, but is its user ready?) she thought and looked at the group for a moment and then sighed, then her senses went haywire with something massive. The yaju looked at the sky and actually was surprised by the enormous flying fortress "By all the nine.." was all she could say before the destruction occurred. Thinking as fast as her instincts let her, Nera used her cloak to evade most of the dust and was about to use her magic when Zena and the court mage made a tandem combination of work to protect the group.

The yaju was trying to find whatever information that her memory could bring when the elf sped her way to follow the bone dragon "Dammit, that elf´s emotions got the best of her" she muttered and put handed one of her vials to the court mage "Give this to the blacksmith, it will help with both his and your exhaustion, I have to get that girl before she does something stupid" she said and leaped through the destroyed buildings, chasing Zena and hopping that the elf girl wouldn´t be too reckless.

Sanctuary | Outside Molack's Forge

As Saru listened to the conversation between Zena, Bayuu, and Zero while waiting for the Court Mage to emerge from the forge. When the Mage finally emerged, Saru who was hanging onto a nearby wooden pole by his tail, feet, and hands due to the recent blast of wind was definitely pleased, and was even more pleased when he heard that he will write down the ritual for a Paladin or Mage to perform and help Saru. Finally some true progress!

Unfortunately though this would not bode well as suddenly a large shadow covered the area. Quickly looking up Saru saw a large skeletal dragon with a fortress on its back flying over the city. Seeing this Saru was absolutely dumbstruck and actually worried. Why would such a large beast be flying over the city!? His questions would soon be answered when it then fired a large blast of dark energy at the direction of the statue. This definitely was not what he expected to see... Then out of nowhere he heard Zena whistle for her horses. Seeing two horses come running by unscathed, Saru then watched as Zena hopped onto one of the horses and ran off.

Saru then grew a rather... arrogant smirk as he saw Zero take off like a bullet towards Zena's direction. Quickly reacting he saw the Blacksmith's horse in the stable, and quickly proceed to jump onto the horse's back. Turning to the blacksmith he spoke.

"Sir I will borrow your horse! I will also make sure the girl is safe!" Saru spoke in a stern, yet excited tone of voice. Drawing his staff the Apex let out a loud howl before taking off on the horse after Zero and Zena.

Outside Sanctuary

Thanks to his wind, it wasn't long before Zero caught up to Zena. "Hey!! How about you slow down some? The horse will collapse if you push it too hard!" He said to Zena but no luck as Zena was so focused on her anger to listen. "MOLACK COLLAPSED BECAUSE OF A HEART ATTACK SO HOW ABOUT YOU STOP AND THINK FOR A MINUTE YOU DAMN HOTHEAD!!!!!" Zero yelled hoping that got her attention.

"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."
