Thread: Adventures of a Lone Wanderer

Meanwhile in the real world... Meia had woken up from her slumber, stretching as far as she could before standing up from her chair. She took a look at her surroundings in order to remember where she was, it only took a second to see that she was still in Alastor's home. There was a knock on the door, she looked around to see if Alastor would answer it. The only thing that answered her was books moving on their own going on various bookshelves around the living room, not to mention, other things moving on their own as if the owner himself where actually moving around doing these things. Seeing as she didn't want to be just standing there, she went to answer the door when the knocking gotten louder and brash-like. She opened the door to see that there were two knights, one carrying a flag on a stick and the other a spear. She was guessing one of them was the captain and the other a lowly knight. One of the knights took out a rolled up scroll and he turned it around to her. It was a picture of Reiji on it but the thing that got her the most was the scroll was a wanted poster. It didn't particularly list a crime but that they were searching for him she had guessed. Excuse me for taking your time, Miss. Have you seen a young boy? The King is looking for him, there was an incident that scared him off earlier and this is a summons to meet with him. If you have any information regarding him at all, you'll be greatly rewarded. he said in a somewhat muffled tone. Meia had shaken her head, putting one of her hands on her hips. I'm sorry, I don't know the boy you're looking for. If I ever see him around, I'll be sure to let one of you know. she said with a straight face. She was lying, of course. But with her being an assassin, she knew how to keep up appearances so they'd never guess. The two knights nodded before talking with one another and looked back at her again. Thank you for your time. Sorry for disturbing you, madam. The knight said before both of them walked off into the crowd to get more answers. Meia closed the door then she raised an eyebrow, the boy had royalty coming after him. She wonder just what did he do just to have him coming after him, she couldn't imagine Reiji showing his powers in front of regular humans. Alastor came up into the room a few minutes later holding a couple of spellbooks in his arms and humming happily. He stopped to see that Meia was lost in thought but before he could ask her a question, she just sat back down in the chair she fell asleep on and did exactly that. Alastor looked at the door then walked over to it after putting the spellbooks on the table next to the door. He peered out of one of the windows to see what it was that caught her attention. He didn't expect to see so many knights walking around this town. Such a thing was usually rare. The last time it happened was when this town was holding so many criminals in the waterways under the city. Alastor didn't know exactly what they were here for but he rather not going out to ask just what it was. Until the heat died down, he guessed that he was locked up in the house. Alastor put his hand on the door and chanted a few words until the door itself became much stronger and re-enforced like it was a heavy iron gate with a thousand tiny interwoven locks and only he had the key. To ensure nothing would get in easy even if you were as strong as Reiji. Alastor had turned around to Meia who sat back down then looked at him. What? she asked when she saw the wizard looking as if wanted to ask something big of her. Well, when Reiji gets back from recovering the item that I need. He's going to be immediately heading to another place but the kicker is that he's going to need his sister's help with that one. While that's going on, you and I will be heading to Starborn Valley to babysit her kids for her for a little while. his voice trailed off at the end as he did so because he was expecting Meia to start yelling at him but surprisingly her attitude toward that was tame. Sure, I don't see a problem with that. I owe the boy so this little job won't be a problem. she said as she leaned her head into her hand, watching the wizard with half lidded eyes and about ready to go back to sleep. Was that the only thing you needed? she inquired. Alastor just nodded his head a little before walking off back to the basement while Meia nodded off back to sleep. When Alastor gotten back to the workbench he had Chrono's Clock Gears, he looked toward the door seeing the image that Reiji was indeed fighting again and what looked to be a giant worm. The wizard could only chuckle at the sight of the fast moving images of Reiji and his new friend, Dante. Alastor had wondered actually if Reiji would mind the next place that he was going to be sent to and remembered that he honestly couldn't care as he had no feelings to feel. Will write more later.
