(Kyi\\Finch) Twitching a bit, Kyi slowly let go of her daggers but left her hands inside her pockets. She shrugged, "Let's just say I have my ways - though, nobody was hurt, I can assure you. I doubt I'll cause you any trouble, either. But that doesn't mean I'm not a threat." Smirking, she took one hand out of her pocket and took the cigarette out of her then let out a puff of smoke, not really caring if it got in Kratos' face. Of course, she didn't mean to be rude, but she wasn't trying to be exactly nice, either.
After placing the cigarette back in her mouth, she turned and began walking past the gate enterance, looking for a bar or inn.

(Mithos) Kratos sits there watching her walk away. He laughs darkly.
"Hahahahaha...I can't believe she bought that...Cruxis is feared, that is why they are praised. Everyone in this realms cowers before the might of Cruxis..."
He snaps his fingers, and a dark shadow of a young, thin boy appears. He looks sad, as if he was imprisoned against his own will.
"Keep an eye on her, I don't really trust her..."
Kratos then walks off, dissapearing through an alleyway. There is a bright flash of light for a second down that alleyway, then Kratos is gone.

(Kratos) ::There is a scroll on the wall of the Guild Hall reading::
~~~~Clan Cruxis~~~~
Now looking for full-time members. The most powerful clan known thus far. Some very high positions available. Contact Kratos if interested, he is seen around town at least once every other day.
Notice:: Joining Cruxis means you offer yourself to the requirements of Cruxis, which is the changing of your form by a little, but gaining power. If you want to know more, just ask Kratos.

(Kratos) Kratos enters the Guild Center again and, seeing the letter, quickly writes one.
"The next time this Zeroth comes in, give him this."
With that he walks out.

(Zeroth) Zeroth re-enters and posts a quick thing on the bulletin board.
--- Zeroth's Clan Looking for Members and Name as well. ---
From currency of the application to the Curxis, I would guess it to be an allied clan. But I am getting a clan going on my own too. Need a name, members with experience of about 6 months - present time. No criminal records for double agenting is accepted. Also, make sure you have a type of ability with thievary. Thanks.
-- § Zeroth § Zeroth then sits down at the guild center reading all the posts.

(Kyi\\Finch) Kyi read both of the posts, stopping after getting half-way through the Clan Cruxis, since she was definintely not an 'evolved elf'. After reading Zeroth's, she wrote back :
You know me as Kyi. Almost a professional at stealing, got caught twice, but only that town knows. Hope that doesn't count against me for this. Not entirely interested, being rather one of those 'lone wolves', but decided I'd try it out anyhow.
At the end, she signed her name, purposely making the dot above her I look slightly like a heart - which, of course, was very rare of her to do. She walked out with her hands in her pockets.

(Kratos) The clerk sees Zeroth and walks up to him.
"Are you Zeroth?"
He sees him nod, then hands him the letter. The letter reads::
Zeroth, in being a part of Cruxis you will give up your human race, you will still remember that you used to be a human if you were. If you join right now, depending on what I see from your abilities, I may start you out at the very top anyone can get to, since we lost ours when he betrayed Cruxis and attacked Askara and the Imperial Guard.
If you merely seek an alliance with Cruxis, your clan will have to prove their worth to us, which will be a test of defeated monsters that Cruxis brings forth from the Void.
If you are hoping to join and form an alliance, then I will gladly let you join, but will consider the alliance. Depending on what your clans ranking will be, we may or may not accept.
Kratos
((Clans are ranked from 1 - 100, 1 being the best. You gain ranks by doing missions posted at the Guild Center at times, by helping out other cities, or by helping someone with the ability to change ranks. Sort of like Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.))

(Zeroth) Zeroth walks in after growing oddly bored at watching little kids play in the streets. He found this funny because they always picked on the little kid, which reminded him of past. He enters the guild center.
Zeroth finishes reading the letter and nods to himself. He wonders why the girl posted rather than talking to him straight up. Then he turned to the clerk.
" Where can I find this man? " The clerk shrugged. " He is everywhere. If your lucky you can see where he is on a roof top or in the town somewhere. "

(Kratos) The clerk looks at him seriously and then whispers to him.
"He usually wanders the town...But he has a actual hideout which he always has tabs on. If anyone without permission enters, he would be there in seconds....Unfortunately, all people have ever seen is him dissapearing down the alleyway between here and the house just next door....Its odd, because its a long, dark, alleyway, but it's a deadend. Some that followed him said that there was a shaking down the alleyway and a bright flash of light, then he was gone. I guess he was tapping bricks or something, but there are 100's of bricks down that alleyway, so if their in some order theres no finding out what...Your best guess would be to search for him wandering town. I guess there was some uprising and he was helping the Imperial Guard. Perhaps his speaking with their leader, the large building across the street is the Imperial Guardhouse. That should be where they are. If you talk to Detheroc, he may know where Kratos was last at..."

(Zeroth) Zeroth leaves the quiet center and re-enters the blacksmith shop. He looks around to see a shelf of weaponary and armor stocked full with a few empty spots. He looks around further and spots a man forging another sword of good quality. He approaches the man slowly. " Good makings. How many chits are your best workings? " " Depending on what you are talking about. Swords? I haven't a clue. I haven't really got up the updated pricing list. * Wink Wink Kratos *" " Ah. Well. I will wait right outside while you make something up. But what's your best guess. " " The most would be about 5000 Chits. Of course that's until I create two swords. Enchanted. Best quality ever. LifeTime warranty. Only shattered when the user adapted to it dies. Otherwise it is impenatrable. I've been debating with the Sage academy about its enchantment. I've got plans. I will choose two single people for the correct placement of it. They will be very powerful, yet light as a five pound sac-a-potatoes. That will range in the 50,000 area if bought rather then chosen. " Zeroth intently listens then replies, " Okay. Well, notify me on updates. "

(Asher) Lightning split the air and the sky roiled, darkness churning with a maelstrom of insatiable winds, which tore trees from their earthen foundations with a maddening howl.
As the tempest above let loose a requiem of roiling rain, in the brief flashes of mind-rending lightning, the sillouhette of a man could be seen by anyone daring enough to steal a glance out his window. Dared they a closer look, and were their eyes keen and quick, they would notice the man wept blood from dozens of wounds, his armor which was cracked and charred, or maybe his one remaining eye, wide and frantic with madness.
The man wove his way through the streets of the town, oblivious or perhaps ignorant of the maw of furious death which passionately tore about the chaotic sky. Blood filled his muddy footsteps as he trudged through the onslaught of rain, his life draining from his nearly dead body.
The sudden burst of wind and rain gave reason for the patrons of the tavern to look up as the man entered the Tavern, and little reason for them to look away again. Asvhor's wounds began at his scalp, where blood ran wetly down the locks of his dark hair, channeling through a deep gash in his forehead, which continued on through where a right eye would have been set. His neck, smeared with blood intermingled freely with a black substance none wished to guess, was a raw template of bite wounds. His armor appeared in several spots to have once been white and polished as ivory, however it was smeared with mud from falling in battle and cracked and breached in many places. Blood seeped freely here more then anywhere, running down his legs, which appeared to have been broken and reset recently, pooling at his worn leather boots.
None in the bar would have gambled their most wretched penny that this thing that stood before them still lived - had it not been for the quivering blue eye, raw with mad terror and panic. All eyes were riveted to him as he opened his mouth and exhaled heavily, a dry, rattling sigh.
With a slow movement that belied extreme pain beyond levels of human anguish, Asvhor slipped his hand into a pouch at the back of his belt and pulled out a slip of wet and folded paper. His blue eye then rolled back in his head and his body collapsed into a pile on the floor of the Tavern, as men in various states of inebriation rushed in to crowd around him.
A heavyset man with a thick beard stood up as the others checked his pulse, reading the slip of paper that Asvhol had taken out. What was legible through the runny ink said in a sloppy scrawl:
The time of the meeting -- --
the seven of the ---- in the --
------- ---- ----- - --- -------- - ------ -------- ---- kill us all --
----- ------
chance find the ------
------ ---- Kratos ------
The man frowned and looked up, wondering whether or not to destroy the message then and there..
~To Be Continued?

(Kratos) The man that read the letter looks at the heap of what was a body. He thinks for a moment, then says outloud; "Kratos....He resides in Askara, with his clan...I do not understand what this says, but I do not know if whoever it was that was writing it was seeking a audience with him, because if he was, Kratos is quite a hard man to get a audience with...I heard he was in town a few days ago, but that was just a rumor..."
The tavern suddenly comes alive with many talking travelers and merchants. Many surround the man that suddenly entered the room, then dropped to the floor. They examined his many wounds, but none dared to touch them for fear of the man suddenly wakeing and striking them down....
