Chapter Nineteen: GUILD ARC 01: Quests

Since the quidditch game, the month of November came and gone in order to shift into December. By now the castle was completely snow covered with several inches on the ground. Hagrid was bringing in a couple of huge Douglas fir trees for the upcoming holidays. Not that the Fal'Cieian duo really cared since they don't celebrate Christmas, respect it yes for the sake of their friends, but not go out and party. They may do the gift giving deal only because of the good will it presents to everyone. Anyway, they have many quests to do this upcoming holiday if everything goes as planned for them.

"So, have you already accepted the quests that were posted on the Falconer?" Harry asked as he moved another piece on the shogi board. They both fell in love with the game when they were being taught strategies of a tactician by Agave when she all but adopted them. Sadly, she couldn't due to the duties both held to their blood families. Adheesha moved one of his pieces before saying, "Yes, already got a horde of quests piled up for the break. The money from it should help us during the summer break when we go forth and search for the weapons."

"Why the artifacts?"

"Mostly to keep it out of the hands of the people here. Imagine if Voldemort or Dumbledore would get them. The next war would be far worst then the last. Especially if one of them is protected by another Eidolon, like the warhammer Volendrung, which would be a bad problem. For, I fear what they may do to the Eidolons if they ever found them," Adheesha spoke with a great amount of worry in his voice. Harry thought for a bit before moving another piece on the board.

"That is true, but are we not doing the same by collecting them?"

"On some part we are, it's just we know what the hell we are doing. The difference between us and them is that we know when to recall the Eidolons before they do a great amount of damage. Along with how to use the ancient weapons that was left behind in this world," another piece was moved before a smile formed on the prince face. Harry growled for he knew he lost the game with that last move. He conceded though before cleaning off the wooden board.

"True. It would be better to be in our hands than that of a Midgardian. The question is where we should start looking," Harry states as he got up from the table to put up the board and pieces. He did not know which step to take in order to make sure a new weapon does not fall into the wrong hands. With how technology was rapidly progressing with the non-magickal humes that they will sooner or later find a hidden area meant to stay locked away. This in turn would draw the attention of the magickal kind and will bring forth pain. There are worst Eidolons in the world than Zalera whose powers seem to go beyond the power of death. To the point one of them was sealed away for being too powerful. The one they needed to get to before anyone else.

"Easy, what better way then searching through the forbidden archives. We both know the librarian is leaving this break, so we have free rein!" Harry pouted for not thinking of that in the first place but let it go. The idea is now out there with the chance of finding something. After all, a good portion of ancient tombs survived the ages all thanks to being confined in a section of the library. Maybe there will be something about the old civilizations that most have taken as myth. With the kids today, they will think that such technology and gods are nothing more than fairytales with the recent history they were given. It didn't help that Fal'Cie sort of kind of helped with the mythology due to the fact they took whatever scrap, mecha, technology, book, spells, and knowledge they could take with them when they crossed over to the realm that was created for the loyal ones. Now it was time to bring these things back in order to stop the certain events that happen in the world. Both knew it was going to be hard in the beginning, but they believed they could pull it off.

It was the day before Christmas break and majority of the school was already leaving to go home to spend time with family. It was evident by the sighs of despair Harry emitted as he watched many students walking in the deep snow. Adheesha looked up from his book with worry eyes. He could see that his companion was still sad over the fact his mother was still missing.

The holidays seemed to have made the feeling of sorrow worst. It didn't help that the letters from Sirius all told of failure in finding the woman. This was the main reason why the both haven't meet each other yet. The only good thing about this time was the fact they won't see the bastard child known as Tristian Potter for the next two weeks. The prince shivered as he felt the two magickal clones he sent made their way out into the cold weather. Robots that were briefly powered by his magick to look like himself and Harry in order to make it look like they were leaving the castle. All the while they would be gallivanting this world and the next to do the bidding of their quest givers.

Normally a regular child of magick would not try this due the fact the castle core was linked to the headmaster in order to better track the students that refuel its power. Along with the fact the living portraits here could tell the man that a rouge student was here. Luckily the castle seemed to be on their side by masking their core signature from Dumbledore. Helping them in their endeavor for knowledge and their want to get more gold. The prince stood next to Harry and watched the last of the carriages leave the grounds to the train station.

"Are the both of you ready?" a woman spoke from behind them. Turning around to see it was their head of house, Madam Hooch. They did not hear her come into the common area of the tower. Both of nodded before walking away from the windows. Taking a couple of messenger bags off the couch in order carry what they needed for the quests. Stepping onto the teleporter with Madam Hooch to quickly disappear in a flash of electric blue when the circle rose up from the ground to send them on their way when it went back down.

~DkR~

Two days passed since their arrival back into Fal'Cie. In those days they were able to complete a quarter of their quests list since it they were nothing more than item retrieval. Stuff that could have been bought by the lazy bill posters, but they couldn't complain. The work was overpaid for such simple work and they needed the credits for buying supplies.

"So, do you think it's time to accept new members in our guild?" Harry asked as he licked the ice cream, they bought from the shop they were sitting in.

"Probably, we have need of spies out in the world. If we do recruit you know it won't be cheap. Especially, if we go to them," the Raithwall answer while looking up into the sky. The pecan praline ice cream slowly melting in his hand. A flock of birds passed before moving his head back down to take another bite of his food. Harry hummed as he thought about it, "I have the feeling I know what they might want or at least the price for taking a few of their men. That means we have found the artifacts sooner than later."

"Yeah, that doesn't mean we can't try to get a couple from each group while we are here. I believe we have enough money to obtain them. Plus, the influx of money and goods would help us."

"True, but do you really want to go down this road. We can turn back if we go down it."

"I know because we knew this had to happen sooner or later. Many in Midgard won't like the change that's going to happen, and they will have to be eliminated if we wish for peace in the future. Along with the chance of taking down the two idiots," Adheesha said as he finished off the last of his dessert. Harry did so as well so his won't become a pool of flavored milk. Harry didn't say anything else for he knew that his friend was right. Better off to get this dirty business over with now then later.

"Come now, we got business to attend to since both guilds are not active until later on tonight," With that the guild members left the shop to finish off another portion of the quest list. Heading down the road to another part of the capital.

~DkR~

Down in the dungeons of Hogwarts, a shadow raced from it haven it had in there to where the headmaster office was in the school. Stretching from shadow to shadow to better hide from the portraits. Not like the people inside noticed since the creature took the halls with windows on one side. Once at the statue of the Griffin did it crawl its way up the tunnel. Easily bypassing the pitiful protections that was placed on the entry way. It made its way under the door to slide its way into the darkness underneath the desk. The old fool did not know he was even there while talking to the fireplace in his office. Not like there was anything that could be done due to the fact the school did not have the same protections as the castles of lore.

"Are you sure about this? It's not some kind of mistake?" the old man spoke with worry.

"Yes, there was evidence that someone was kept in the basement Dumbledore. It was only thanks to his friends distracting him that I was able to get down there. I don't know for sure what was down there, but I don't think we have to guess really hard to do so." Albus wanted to growl at the news. The Potter had set his plans back and risked it for something as stupid as to get his wife under control. Straightening out his robes some, pushing his glasses up a bit, Dumbledore calmly spoke to longtime friend, "Thank you for assistance Alastor for searching. This is a dire situation that Mr. Potter had surely left us in."

"It's not a problem at all, Albus. Until the next time we can meet," with that the green face of a disfigured man left the fireplace until nothing was left but ash and smoke. That is when Albus did growl out in anger for what James Potter could be doing to the plans he had set up long ago. Unknown to the man the shadow creature giggled quietly at his pain. Happy that something was going wrong in this man life and this was another situation that he could use in his arsenal. It was just not the time to do anything just yet. It could tell that not enough time had passed to leave the woman as nothing more than as a broken shell of herself.

If it could grin it would do so right now as a small idea formed. It detached a piece of itself to place it to the underside of the desk in the hopes that something may come this. Now it was time to leave to try to find the woman again to see how see was doing. It zoomed out of the room without much notice. Except for a portrait of one of the previous headmasters who glared down with suspiciousness upon seeing the dark mass going under the door of the office. He did not voice anything due to the fact he did not know what it was or if he had truly saw something. He would have to wait and see what would happen. As well, hope that Hogwarts would still talk to him about what is happening around the school.

In forest northeast of Dufftown, better known to wizards as the 'Dark Forest' or the 'Forbidden Forest', a small house elf hid in one of these caves that dotted the place. It was a perfect place to hide since it was close to the school for when he was ready to contact the two Fal'Cieian's, no one will disturb his experiments here, will be able to easily steal from several wizarding families that lived in the hills of the highlands and from the shops of Hogsmeade. There was also the fact that any other research projects done here will be in peace or with little disturbance. That is if he left the clan of centaurs, along with the beast that roam area, alone and don't do anything to the forest.

Even with this small portion of paradise in these dark days, Ruffon couldn't help but to sigh at the large work load he had on his plate. From the rumors he heard whispering out of Moor on how they started to explore their ancient tunnels again. Having found one of the ancient cities from lore. He knew these rumors got Vocomin in a frenzy since the time he had left. Ruffon scoffed at the idea while being happy he got as far away from England as possible for now. The question is now why they would suddenly go down those tunnels after so many generations.

He had the feeling that Raithwall and his friend had something to do with it. Ruffon just did not know why the chosen ones would have a sudden interest in those tunnels. The confused looked quickly turned to that of a grinning one as a possible answer and idea formed in his head. It would look like he knew what the next thing to research on. The problem was obtaining the proper books and supplies needed for this endeavor. In a flash of magickal light he was gone from the cave without leaving a trace he was even there.

"My, what a surprise. To see the great prince of the kingdom here in lovely abode," said a masked man sitting underneath a statue of a Naga. Both guild members of Fabula Nova Crystallis currently found themselves several miles east of the capital, underground in dim light, to see this man sitting on a brick circle bench that surrounded their patron goddess, the Night Mother. The grin the man held would have unnerved the common noble or vagabond but not the young guild members. They have dealt with him for many years when they killed off one of their targets on a mission for the group known as the Goldshire Scions. Since then, both groups, as well people, had a friendship that was built out of distance and a healthy amount of respect for one another. A commodity both guilds made known each time one of them wanted something from the other.

"Please Raj, you and I both know I came down here for business and nothing more," Adheesha spoke to the Grimal guild master in a slightly sarcastic manner. The statement made him smile even though it slightly disappointed him that he thought the two of them just wanted to see him. Harry looked around the place to see the guild hall was empty apart a select few going about their daily duties. This confused Harry a bit for he knew that the Brotherhood never sent out this many people at once to do missions.

"So, what has brought the both of you to bask in my ever-sexy glory," Raj asked with a smirk, leaning back onto the statue. Adheesha rolled his eyes in slight disbelief in his friend arrogance while Harry just shook his head.

"Well, we were hoping," a cough from the right of Adheesha, "Ok, I was hoping that you would spare one or two of your men that wish to leave your guild or at least a break from the day to day activities."

Raj seem to laugh at the request for he heard of the rumors that spread through the many guilds of these two being in Midgard. Doesn't help that the leader of Senketsu boasted to everyone about obtaining the ancient relic, Volendrung, while helping with a mission request from Fabula Nova Crystallis. Maybe this would be a good thing as the guild would need to be established in Midgard once the chaos had truly begun. An offering of good will would be needed and there were a few people that wanted their package to leave. Noticing the annoyed looks on both of their faces he decided to humor them, "If I go through with this request of yours, then what do I get out of losing two of my members. Because, as you see right now that many of my men and women are gone."

"I can clearly see that. A move you rarely or foolishly made without the request of another guild in dire need. The only thing I can offer for now is the credits for these two men and the promise of future work that will come," Raj smile grew wider at the promise of work and money. Lately, both areas were lacking to the point they had to send out people upon the request of other organizations.

"I would love that, but I need more."

Adheesha glared and responded, "More?"

"Yes, you see there is a mission we obtained a couple of weeks ago. None wish to touch it out of suspicion and fear due to our recent luck we have been having lately. We can't send out novices due to their lack of experiences. It doesn't help many of us are out in the field, severally injured to the point they are unable to leave, or on 'vacation' due to stress," Raj stated seriously as the smile he had plastered on his face previously had vanished. Sitting up to only bend down to rest his arms on his knees. Neither Harry or the prince liked the fact they were essentially being pushed into something they had no knowledge of even though they handled it many times before. The prince sighed in defeat, "Fine, we will do it. Just send us the information so we can look it over tonight."

"The money?"

"After we complete this quest for you. And I mean after it," Adheesha said in a huff. Raj did not like it, but he knew he was pushing his luck as it was, "Fine. I wait for your return. The two will be ready for departure when it's over."

With a nod the they left the underground headquarters that belong to the Brotherhood. Never seeing that man getting off the brick bench and vanish in a plum of black smoke.

"So…You guys want a couple of my thieves to become your guild members in order to become spies and steal information needed in Midgard for your guild in order to better work from the castle you are currently using as headquarters?" a spindly Darragon woman asked in mild confusion at the two people that sat before her. Many people in other guilds tended to conclude that the Fabula Nova Crystallis would always remain a two-member organization all the while working with others if a certain quest becomes too difficult. Now they are asking for a couple of people from the Brotherhood and now the Twilight Society to join their guild for the first time.

"Yes. We have several rooms in the tower that we can house them in. Only our head of house, which happens to be a scout for the kingdom, will ever come into the tower so they can come and go as they please. Hell, they can decorate the rooms in the way they like without much of a consequence. We can even pay for their departure from the guild. All we ask for is a few days before coming to collect them if you wish to agree," Adheesha told the leader of the Twilight Society. A ping from the device from Harry wrist made him walk from the two guild leaders for a moment. Having brought up a small, light-blue screen as he walked away.

"I will see about it. I will take into consideration all the times you both have helped my guild out. Come back in four days and I will have my answer," the women stated as she got up from the table. She stretched out her hand for handshake which Adheesha had done so when he slapped his own hand on the woman forearm. That is when Harry decided to come back into the room, "As much as I would like to watch this love feast of an optional deal, but we finally got the quest from Raj."

The young Raithwall nodded to Harry before turning his attention back to the woman, "Thank you for listening Demi. We will see you soon, along with the hope of seeing the ones you have chosen."

"Not a problem at all. Good luck on the quest. Bye," with that the two members of FNC left the headquarters for the tunnel that leads to the courtyard that is behind the church in the capital.

From the comfort knew as the bowls of Potter manor did the man and his wife, now turned victim, moved to a small house that would belong to a muggle family in the town of Bridgewater, England. James had moved her here a month back when the whispers from people of what he could have done to Lily had finally got back to him. It had proven a smart move when Sirius and Remus had visited him with Mad-Eye Moody not too long ago. The old Auror thought he didn't notice him going to the basement of his manor to scrounge around in there. The wards that been placed on the manor by his ancestors made sure to let him know where any person goes while he is in the building. It was a good thing that the elves had cleaned the area up nicely to the point it looked like no one had been down there for years. Only if he knew the house elves had merely placed an illusion on the basement to make the man see what he wanted to see while everyone got to look at the truth of everything. That he kept someone down in the dank area as a prisoner.

Currently in this seemingly plain looking four-bedroom home with a nice garden was Lily locked away in one of the guest bedrooms. The woman is sitting in a wooden chair to better look out the window with sadness in her eyes. Watching the people go about their day and children play in the streets without a care in the world. All the while she was locked away in this warded room with elves as her guards. Oh, how she wanted to cuss and fuss for being in this predicament, but she quickly grew tired of that when the collar around her neck kept pressing into her skin. Causing a deep red mark to form that had to be treated by the elves. Now she knew how the very creatures they made into slaves felt like. Unlike them she did not have the free range of walking around to do things to keep her mind off her torment. While she was kept healthy and feed, but she was deprived of any kind of interaction and the freedom that is needed to keep her sane in this world.

"Milady…" one of the few house elves that were bound here spoke softly to Lily. Taking her out of her thoughts of want and need. Shifting her gaze to the creature that came into her room to see that 'it' brought her daily allotment of food. Deciding to break the silence in the room she asked, "What is your name?"

Lily wanted to add creature but held back. The last thing she needed now was an angry house elf poisoning her food. Plus, it had the added benefit of gaining a friend out of this. Lily was not doing this out of curiosity but as the desperate actions of a lonely women whose trapped in an unknown place for who knows how long.

"My name is Ja'Remor, mistress. I here to serve," she answered with a slender smile that would be big and creepy to those in the outside world. It didn't help bits of a faint tendril of darkness snaked its way over the arm of the now identified Bravgig. The elf made its way over to the Lily to give her the food that was brought.

We are still trying to obtain the much-needed research at this time, but we fear resources will be cut soon due to the loss of man power and money. This bout data is brought to you by the Bailiwick Foundation.

Races:

Grimal (Feline Kin): A agile feline race that hails from the mountains that are now situated in Asia. They are the fable city that is in those mountains. Even with this city, and their move into the other realm, they are nation of nomads with few to little cities they call their own in the lands they called their own. Many still follow the old ways that they had establish during their time in Midgard. Which tends to create problems between the older and newer generation that changed to better follow news laws and traditions. This also cause some distain for those who are nomadic despite they are the main resource for getting goods in and out of the nation they claimed.

Guilds:

Brotherhood: A guild of assassins and spies that existed for many centuries. It was formed a couple hundred years after the formation of their new world. It was due to the heated climate of the political atmosphere was reason why the guild was formed. It was a way for people to get murder attempts across the numerous nation borders without drawing attention to themselves. While the people today still use the group, but they do not receive as much work at they did in the past. It has gotten to the point they have to commission out their own members to other guilds in order to make money to survive. Even though the guild is well-known to the people but as rumors. Many mysteries still shroud the group while the ability to contact the group is a closely guarded secret. The whole situation was one of those you don't contact us, but we will contact you. This group is a sister guild to the Twilight Society.

Twilight Society: A guild of thieves and spies that was created around the same time as the Brotherhood. Like the assassins of the time, they were commissioned to steal documents and items for their benefactors while keeping the digression of their bill poster. Unlike their sister group they are still heavily used to the point they can contract some of their quests out to the Brotherhood. Mystery shroud this group as well but not to the point has the Brotherhood. People can contact the group via a special messenger given out to those fences that hear of rumors that spread throughout the kingdom.

Goldshire Scions: It's what the order of knights are called in Fal'Cie. They were founded two centuries after the creation of the kingdom once all the nations claimed their stakes on the land. The group is created as a policing and protecting force in the nation. Making sure that all the laws are kept up within her borders all the while keeping an eye out for any beast or enemy that might threaten their homeland. Their name comes from the small town they once use as headquarters where the seraph scion, Emet-Selch, crystal was kept at before the town of Goldshire was destroyed rouge Ogres.
