Late night...Wizard City. Stars fill the skys around the Wizarding World, the silhouette of a small ship can be seen approaching Wizard City...as it focuses into the moonlight its flag is revealed...it has a red flag with a black X, a golden rose, with a silver stem..
"Heh...looks like I finally found it." A robed male with fiery red hair and brown eyes stares at the city for a bit. He sets up a camera, and snaps a photo of the City...it comes out, the photo is in sepia. He waves the photo slightly, and looks at it, letting out a weak smile. He walks in side of the cabin of his ship, and the ship stops moving completely.
Worlds away, at Skull Island, its the crack of dawn...Avery's Court is unusually empty, two pirates run up the steps leading towards Avery's house..."Avery. We're here." The first pirate says loudly. He has blonde hair, and blue eyes. His outfit is red, and is a somewhat common outfit for people living in Skull Island. "What was so important you had to wake us up this early?" He asks annoyed.
"Yes Avery, we'd really like to know. Orion and I were just getting comfortable from our last tenure." The other says. She has pale skin and white hair, and red eyes.
"Yes, Yes...thats brilliant. But, I have a mission of utmost importance for you two to fulfill. If you do this, the reward will be well worth your time." Avery says.
"Okay...right...UTMOST importance...and whats my 'reward' going to be? A crappy excuse for a boat again?" The boy says.
"Y-You're still ON about that? Th-that was AGES ago! P-plus! If you could overcome vessels with THAT piece of driftwood, you can overcome ANYTHING!" Avery says gallantly, pointing upward.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Anyway...so...anyway, whats this quest we have exactly?" The boy asks.
"A spy told me about a plan being conducted by The Armada that involves destroying several worlds housing Wizarding Schools. This would help their efforts in attempting to banish magic around The Spiral. While this doesn't affect us directly, in the future it could hold DIRE consequences. To top it off, Boochbeard is the person who really assigned this."
"Why?" The girl asks.
"A long time ago, he said he was saved by a Wizard in the skies of Aquila, and ever since then, he vowed that he would one day return the favor some how." Avery says, as if he were narrating a puppet show.
"Don't you normally have puppets for this?" The girl teases.
"Oh shut it already! I've been busy lately. Plus...its to make the younger pirates less afraid of me. They seem to think I'm a big scary mean old man." Avery says, almost solemnly.
"Well...with Finn followin' you every where you go.." The girl says. "But...I guess we'll accept it."
"Fair enough." Avery says. "Orion. Morgan. I'm counting on you." He says, as the two leave the room hastily.
On the other side of the spiral, near Avalon, a wizard male riding a white wyvern down toward a small island with a red barn farm, re-purposed as an Inn for travelers, its late night in Avalon..The Wyvern lands gracefully, and the male gets off. He is wearing silver robes with a frilled cape. His robes have a diamond checkered pattern of silver and red, and the robes of flame designs on them. He has a hood with a red stripe down the middle, and fire school symbols on both sides of it, along with frilled boots with flame designs with a silver base, and red trim.
"Wait here for the day, alright buddy? I'll fly you to Wizard City tomorrow." He says. He pats its head, and walks inside of the Inn. Upon entering he can faintly here the song "Choo-Choo Zoo" that was performed by a band calling itself "Doug and the Doodles," playing in the background. As he walks toward the main counter, many older customers glare at him. He minds his own business.
"Aren't you a little young to be drinkin'?" The bartender asks.
"No. I'm not. But thats not why I am here...I'm looking for someone." The teen says, pulling down his hood, revealing his spiky green hair, and purple eyes. "He was declared missing a few months ago, and people are searching all over The Spiral for him." the teen says.
"Hmmm. So..whats his name? Is he a bad person? A relative?" The bartender asks. "By the by, my name is Angus. Whats yours kid?" he asks politely.
"His name is Kane Skullthief. He's a good friend of mine...he helped me defeat Malistare. My name is Kieran Moonflame." he says.
"Wait...you're Kieran Moonflame? That Avalonian wizard who defeated Malistare only a few years ago? I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Correct me if I'm wrong but you are from Avalon right?" Angus asks.
"Yeah. I am. Nice too meet you Angus. Anyway...I'm looking for any information on Kane. Here's a picture of him and his girlfriend." Kieran pulls out a photo from his pocket.
"Can't say I've seen him. I'm good with faces...I would've remembered...whats his homeworld?" Angus asks.
"Zafaria...at least...thats what he said. He might've lied but...that wouldn't make sense unless he was from some weird world like Celestia or Skull Island." Kieran says.
"So...your a Pyromancer? My cousin is a Pyromancer." Angus says.
"Thats cool...there aren't many Pyromancers anymore." Kieran says. "Well. Anyway. I'm going to rent a room for the night. I'll ask around a little more afterwards." Kieran tells Angus. He and Angus exchange their goodbyes, and Kieran gives him some gold for the keys to his room. He asks a few other people, who's responses are all the same. Kieran walks upstairs after an hour, and enters his room, and lies down on his bed. "Dammit...Well...I'd better call Wolf." Kieran sighs. He pulls out a small ruby and waves his hand above it, some magic sylphs appear above it, through a small magic hologram, and he waves his fingers above the storm sylph, then a few other symbols, and a face of a red headed boy with yellow eyes is magically emitted from the gem.
"Hey Kieran, whats up?" he says.
"Nothing much Wolf. Couldn't find anything on Kane." Kieran says.
"Damn. Well...anyway, tomorrow it'll be you, me, and Blaze." Wolf says.
"Alright...no one else could make it?" Kieran asks.
"Well, Jessica was on vacation, Amber is studying, and Olivia says she is busy with something at home. She say's hi though." Wolf says. "Well. Anyway. I'm getting tired actually..So I'm going to sleep. Sierra's staying over tonight so, I don't wanna wake her right now." Wolf says.
"Alright, see you then." Kieran says. He waves his hand across the gem again the opposite way of before, and the image disappears.
"I need to wash up." Kieran walks downstairs to the Inn's bathouse area. He dips into one of them, and overhears a voice hastily whispering from behind the door.
"An Assassin...Damn...What did they find out...I see...wait...you found...good...We have to make sure no other people find its location...The Armada...I got it...well...I got lost...you found it!? Wizard City? I'll follow the coords you gave me...they might CHANGE? What...I see. I have to go...I need to rest." The whispering stops, and a man walks in. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He undresses and gets into the other side of the rather large bath, starring at the ceiling, not even noticing Kieran.
He looks around and sees Kieran a few minutes later. "O-Oh uh hi."
"Hey...so...uh...what were you talking about..." Kieran asks.
"Work...was it that loud?" The man asks slightly afraid.
"Not really, I couldn't hear anything." Kieran barely lies. After the town sit in silence, the man leaves. Kieran is left pondering what the man was talking about, and if he should worry or not. Later, he heads up to his own room, and quickly goes to sleep.
