*Pandora hung around her guild hall with Orion her red furred dog companion*

After weeks of relaxing in Raven Tail’s headquarters, Daniel got called in to the guild leader’s office.

*having slept well, ancalagon woke early and headed swiftly to the meeting point, a package under his arm*

Natalie continues to care for the remaining guards, making sure they were well kept and would at least last until the morning. Afterwards, she finally head to her place of rest, the lounge of the hospital. They had agreed to let her sleep there in case anyone on the night shift required aid as well.

*Ancalagon heads back to the ship, doing odd little things, picking up info on their target. It was dark by the time he headed home*

Natalie nods her head and smiling, winking at him under her hood as she warps away. She goes back to the hospital and assists as much as she can with all the patients she can.

Alright. Back here. 8 o clock. Don’t be late. *he stands and heads off, taking the letters with him*

Natalie nods and waves her hand, then drawing out once again, ‘See you tomorrow then.’ She summons a small light and making it float off into the distance in case he had any final words…

They don’t know who we are, and seeing as theyll be keeping their jobs they won’t be asking about these letters…let em live.

Natalie looks around and writes on a blank paper, passing it to him. On it was written, ‘What of the wounded? Help them or finish them?’ She looks around a bit of alertness and wariness…

Tomorrow morning. A caravan of goods will get through now I’ve removed some patrols. We are going to plant a couple in this officer’s home and office…it’ll be dangerous. So prepare yourself

Natalie smiles a great deal, appreciating his words. She nods a bit, writing in the air, ‘When shall we leave then?’ She asks, feeling very proud of herself thus far…

*curious, he takes the bag and opens a few letters*….nice trick….*he opens the rest* and all addressed to one person ! Well done indeed.

Natalie gathers up the letters once each officer is done with them, getting the rest of the day off with little resistance due to her hard work for near all of the day. She takes herself to the meeting place and smiles as she approaches her comrade. She holds out a bag holding all of the letters.

*ancalagon continues to wait. He has faith in the new girl but he doesn’t fully trust her yet…*

Natalie treats the men once they get there, judging by the uniforms who where the higher ups. She gives the hired ranks each a letter, basically saying they would be excommunicated for the failure of a simple patrol, but they might be able to keep their spot if they wrote a log of the events or a letter of their resign, both would be sent to… Read more

*his part done, ancalagon camps outside the town, waiting for news*

Natalie notices a few carts head away due to reports of patrols being attacked. She immediately goes over to the room where they would put the wounded, making sure everything was situated in a orderly manner. She checks on her documents she was foraging, realizing that they would do nicely for this particular mission.

*ancalagon didn’t have to wait long. A patrol with two captains came past. Still hidden, he drew a circle , preparing a spell. When they had their backs to himz he cast it, causing a pillar of dark energy to rise from beneath them scattering them and heavily injuring them. He repeated the process on two other patrols*

Natalie was aiding everyone she could in the hospital, occasionally writing a bit of a fake letter every once and a while… She would be ready for this questioning for sure.

*ancalagon headed away from town, towards one of the secret trade routes that was under watch. Wrapping himself in a cloak to hide his face, he waited*

Natalie nods her head and begins to go over to the hospital, thinking over not only what she would ask, but how? Her bag had some supplies in it with some ink pen and paper, so she could write them… As letters? Maybe… Her mind continued to ponder the questions.

*eventually they return to the city , the walk silent and uneventful. * alright… You know your part. Ima go do my part. Best start thinking of questions kiddo *he pats her back before jogging away*

Natalie nods and follows along, looking at all of the people nearby, not really sure if they’d run into anyone they’d have to fight immediately…

*he stands, smiling* that was quick. Good . let’s get going then*he leads her outside to a path through the forest*

Natalie goes back over to the caravan, nodding and him and shaking his hand before leaving. She heads over to get her supplies and finds everything basically intact! After gathering what she needed, she quickly went back to him, nodding her head.

Good. We leave as soon as you’re ready. Someone brought yer stuff round from yer home. Its in the caravan. Get what ya need. I’ll wait

Natalie nods in agreement, thinking over plans in her head as they spoke… She smirks a bit, knowing that she was doing a real good now.

OK…first..I’m gonna take you back to your hospital and it’ll be like you haven’t met me. A little after that…ima give a couple of captains a reason to visit your hospital. You do what you can to find anything about the man up top, arranging all the patrols. Understand.

Natalie nods as she follows the conversation, knowing about Rune Guards… She’s never had trouble with them before, but she never exactly was there ally either. She motions her hand for him to continue.

Right..to business. .we got lots as need doing. Our main issue right now is that we got a lot of rune guard patrols along the supply routes of some of our more….questionable items….their ain’t anything wrong with this stuff but the magic council don’t like it. What we need is to know as much about the people organising these patrols as we… Read more

Natalie nods and looks up at him, her eyes now filled with a mix of fear, new found hope, and determination.

*he presses the stamp to her arm and lifts it off, the guild mark now on her skin in a yellowish white* welcome to grimoire heart kid.

Natalie walks with Ancalagon to the desk and raises her arm, rolling down the sleeve and showing her underarm and armpit, thinking that it may be a good place to keep it.

Right…y’all done *a general murmur of assent comes from the group as they return to what they were doing. Ancalagon leads the girl to a desk and takes a stamp in hand*…now…yer guild mark can’t be anywhere noticeable…like i said…theres people as dont like us….so …where am i putting this?

Natalie keeps her head down as instructed, only looking slightly upward so they could partially see her eyes…

*Ancalagon walks in and claps loudly* we got a new recruit. Name of Natalie. She won’t be wearing the uniform though due to certain reasons, so I need y’all ta memorise her *dozens of eyes turn towards her, scrutinising her*

Natalie looks downwards and forwards as they head in the direction of the ship, hearing voices ahead and letting her comrade go in front of her, rather than her in front of him.

*he nods.* not everyone is as polite as me. Keep your head down till you’ve earned respect. I introduce you, then we get straight to work. They’ll warm to you eventually…

Natalie nods and looks over the entirety of the ship, biting her lip a little as she looks over the gargantuan vessel. She reaches back for her hood and puts it on, then looking back to him for approval on her option.

*he takes her hand to steady her, helping her out of the caravan. Infront of them is a huge airship, made of wood and metal, painted black and purple, the guild symbol on the sides*

Nat gets up and stands on her feet, wobbling slightly but regaining stability after a short time. She nods her head and extends her hand.

Reckon you can walk? Ought to introduce you to the others..

Natalie looks up at him and nods, putting a hand to the back of her head and wincing as she touched the wound. She takes her hand back to her lap and looks out the door of the caravan.

Also….sorry bout cracking yer head open. Didn’t mean to hit you that hard….*he looked away*

Natalie nods and smiles a bit. She had expected that much. No good army recruited a new being and let it go free range… She feels the pain in the back of her head start to fade away…
