Mage Wars
Chapter 1-Recruitment
In the strange land of Ivalice, a lot doesn't make sense. Monsters roam the world, looking for food, and often get it from those funny men in blue robes that keep jumping in their path. There are mad bunny women who summon unfathomable power from the ether to murderate the enemy. And they do this for fun?
This story is about a human Black Mage, Thenardi, and his life-long friend, Madeline, a White Mage. They are mercenaries for hire, selling their unique services to the highest bidder, while they look to get better at their magic skills. Until one day. --- Thenardi was browsing in the shop in Cadoan. "So you say the Firewheel Rod can teach Fira?"
The Nu Mou, full of wisdom, smiled and replyed, "Certainly. The Firewheel Rod may also teach Haste to a Time Mage and the skill Prominence to an Illusionist."
"Thank you. Hey Madeline, they have a Cure Staff, you want it?"
Madeline looked up from inspecting the Rapiers. "Yeah, why not. It'll help my healing."
Thenardi nodded, and paid for the weapons. As he went out, he thought about the notice the Landlord had pointed out to him. That Marche boy had a big bounty on his head from the palace, and he could use the money.
Madeline suddenly exclaimed, "Look! The Palace Templars!"
She was pointing at the Red Templer Guard, which only appeared when guarding a member of the Monarchy, or Babus. Thenardi wondered who it was, when Babus stepped out from the throng. He cleared his throat and said, "The royal Prince Mewt requests mercenaries to capture Marche, for account of treason. All those who wish to participate, please step forward!"
Nearly everyone did. Babus smiled and said, "Of course, there will be a small test. Guards! ENGAGE!!!"
The Judge appeared and said, "The Fight command is forbidden! Color Magic is recommended." Thenardi and Madeline grinned.
The fight was short and sweet. Most of the Templars did get knocked out, but only Thenardi, Madeline and a Nu Mou Sage survived. He smiled and said, "I am thankful I learned Giga Flare and Bio."
Thenardi smiled back. "It was a good test of the new rod I bought. And Madeline's new staff."
Babus cleared his throat to get their attention and said, "Ah good. Just the number I thought would have survived. You are Thenardi and Madeline, yes? I have heard many things about you. And your name? Ah, Quin, it is a pleasure. Now, if you would be so kind as to follow me?"
The palace took Madeline by surprise. It was massive, and full of people. Babus explained that it was nearly Present Day and so people were giving their gifts early. Madeline saw a Summoner, and immediately was filled by a sense of purpose. One of her goals was to be a Summoner.
The Nu Mou, Quin, saw this and laughed. "I can see you wish to be a Summoner. Well, ask at the Pub for information regarding it."
"Thanks," she said, before entering the throne room
In the throne room, Quin saw the Judgemaster, Cid, some of the Royal Templers, and in the middle, Her Majesty, Queen Remidi. Quin and Thenardi bowed, while Madeline curtseyed.
The Queen smiled and said, "Thank you very much for coming. Now, I need you to do something for me. I need you to find someone called Marche. He'll have a Moogle with him. His clan is extremely powerful, so be careful. I have three others to help you. They are all Magical people, and will assist you as much as possible."
At this, three others entered the room. There was a Bishop, a Blue Mage, and a Red Mage. Quin soon found their names to be Schneider, Largo and Eldana.
"I so hope you can do this. The fate of Ivalice rests in your hands. Go to search for them. And bring him back. Alive, if possible."
