History[]

Idelon[]

The second-ranking mage in the Gaianes Empire, Raedi Yel Gastria the Brown Witch. With her incredible reputation and skills, it is not widely known that she came to her magic surprisingly late. In 264 AC, unlike most magicians who enter their magic in their mid to late teens, she first learned her magic in her late 20s. Until then, Raedi had another job. Guild Master of there, the capital of the empire's Southern Region. At the time, Raedi was called Master Raedi Ellen and had a reputation as an incredibly skilled assassin. Originally, being an assassin is a profession that should never be famous. Concealing Raedi's identity is also one of the assassin's skills. The fact that an assassin is famous also means that he or she is less skilled. Nonetheless, Raedi was famous. Even though Raedi's skills were outstanding, they were so outstanding that even though she tried to hide her identity as much as possible, it was eventually revealed. Naturally, Raedi faced a crisis. Raedi's empire would not let her go as she continued to assassinate her high-ranking officials. All of her powerful knights, mages, and even sword masters were mobilized to target Raedi. But Raedi survived in the end and became even more famous. And Raedi finally met her worst enemy. She was the Queen of Sorcery of the time, Erea, who was called the world's strongest mage before Gaster. No matter how much Raedi flew and jumped, she was no match for the world's strongest mage. Raedi was caught before she could even resist. Seeing her waiting only for Raedi's death, Erea said that Raedi is too good for her. ^[4] Erea who saw Raedi, asked she there, why she doesn't work under her. Raedi laughed and clenched her chin and asked to someone that what's this, the mighty Queen of Sorcery does need to eliminate someone in secret. Raedi told Erea to just say the word and that she would cut off as many heads as she wanted if the price was right. But Erea's next suggestion was completely unexpected. The Queen of Sorcery said to Raedi that she's not looking for an assassin, but she thought she has potential for more, why she doesn't learn magic for her. ^[5] Erea did not place Raedi's value on assassination. Erea's vision was right. Raedi learned magic at a frightening rate. Despite Raedi's late initiation, she caught up with all her seniors and eventually became the leader of the Four Sorcerers, the strongest magic group in the empire. ^[4]

In 304 AC, at that time, Rosarahim, who had been quiet until now, slightly raised her hand and spoke oh, she has an idea... Rosarahim said why they don't hire a guild of thieves. Helmernod asked thieves, they were criminals who take on illegal jobs. Karsenian was angry and said they're not trying to steal here, they're looking for a child. Rosarahim thought it has been too long since they last spent time in the human world, their idea of thieves seemed very different. ...how she should explain this. Rosarahim said umm... ...nowadays, thieves help find missing people. Helmernod said really, thieves there days were nice, huh. Karsenian asked it's like a part-time job since they don't have an income. Rosarahim thought they understood. Rosarahim said let's go find a guild of thieves and hire them to search for Arin based on his appearance, if they stay discreet, he won't be able to hide from them, right. Archiad said it sounds like a good idea. Helmernod said yes, it's a much better plan than recklessly sending a massive army. Karsenian was impressed. Karstein said great, they'll go with this plan. Kiadrys asked there was a guild of thieves nearby. Rosarahim answered she's sure they'll find one if they search the back alleys of a bigger city. Someone said then let's get going right away. ^[6]

In the Harnian Temple of Idelon, the group sat around a small table, and there were several sheets of paper on it, filled with drawings of all kinds of buildings. Charlene said here's the interior of the palace she drew... based on her memories. Seton examining the map and asked by the way... this was the classified information, the map showed all the secret passages inside the tower, the locations of the mages' labs... ...where the magical artifacts were kept, the magical traps, and even where all the guards were located. Pete said simply possessing this information will get them arested, it'll be terrible if even a single page of this map leaked out... Charlene said to Pete that please burn all the pages once he has memorized the layout, she wouldn't want to reveal the location of her bedroom... Yuna's eyes sparkled and said this was top-tier information, she bet she can sell it for 2,500 Gold to a guild of thieves... no, maybe even 2,800 Gold. Someone thought Yuna is joking... right. Someone said the fact that Charlene can draw such a detailed layout... proved that she's indeed the Queen of Sorcery. On a street, a market area on the outskirts of Idelon City, a cold-looking woman and a long-red haired girl in a dress were walking around the bustling street. Seton who was looking at the two people from afar, asked it does look good on Arin... but this will really work. Yuna said well, she can't say... ...but they might as well give it a try, Arin looked like a beautiful, naive lady wandering around without a single guard nearby, he's practically dripping with gold. It was right then. A boy in shabby clothes sneaks up to Arin and Aria, who were walking far away, and bumped into her body, said oops, his bad. Seton was surprised and Yuna said yes, they got one, a pickpocket. The pickpocket snatched leather purse tied to Aria's waist, then ran away. Seton shouted h-he's getting away. Yuna said relax, Seton, she told Aria not to go after them, catching that kid isn't their goal, he's just going to hand over his catch to the middleman, they won't get any good information out of him even if they try, but money always finded a way to the person at the top, right, she cast a Tracking Spell on the silver conis inside the purse, so all they have to do is take their time and follow the coins. Seton was surprised and said she's amazing, Yuna... Yuna said the silver coins will guide them... ...to a place that will help them creat their fake identities, the Guild of Thieves. ^[7]

Larihen's Tavern. On the surface, this tavern comes off as ordinary... However, those seeking information about the Guild of Thieves often wind up here. One man and the other man came Larihen's Tavern. The other man saw somewhere in the corner of the tavern's hall and said boss, over there... ...a stairway to the basement. Boss said ah, a secret passage, he knew it, so this is where their hideout is. The other man said to Boss that they finally have a lead on him, he thieving crooks. People often assume... ...that the thieves' hideout always looks suspicious, but that isn't necessarily true. The hallway suddenly shakes and they fall. Boss shouted aaagh, th-the floor is caving in. On the contrary... ...an ordinary home situated right beside the tavern... ...is where you can make secret contact with the Guild of Thieves. Someone put coins in his hand and said hehe, the royal agents have fallen into their trap again, he meant, a secret passage, why they would used something that's so obviously suspicious, ironically, running a business right under their noses is what's keeping them hidden. At this time, another person called someone that H-Hyak. Another person opened the door and shouted this is bad. Hyak asked huh, what's all this fuss about. Another person shouted they... ...they have intruders. Aria, with a calm face, cut through the wall with her great sword, and the rest of the group of men and women also came in. Hyak shouted what's going on. Hyak was surprised and thought she did... break down the wall just now, this is no joke, she's really dangerous. Yuna smiled and said to Hyak that pardon them, she knew how exclusive the guild is, so they had to resort to extreme measures, they're here to make a request, he saw. Hyak said to Yuna that a request, she has got the wrong house, they should go find themselves a meacenary guild instead... ...this is private property. Yuna said to Hyak that oh my, he's still insisting this is an ordinary home, she told him she knew how exclusive the guild can be. Hyak thought crap... Hyak asked to Yuna that she does... need something stolen. Yuna answered they need to get inside Idelynn Castle. Hyak was surprised. Hyak shouted to Yuna that Idelynn Castle, she's serious, if they catch her, she'll face something worse than death, she'll be subject to all kinds of magical experiments. Yuna said to Hyak that's precisely why they came to the Guild of Thieves, but his reaction told her they won't get anywhere with him... so he may take them to the Guild Master. In downtown Idelon in the late afternoon, Arin and the others walked through the dark back alleys, guided by Hyak. Seton secretly asked to Yuna that they can really trust him. Yuna answered Seton should relax, he's probably checking to see if they have additional party members hiding around, as long as they know they're not suspicious, they won't attack them. Hyak thought she knew an awful lot about how a Guild of Thieves operated, she could be... on of them, or... this is a trap. Hyak smirked and thought well, that's none of his business, even if it's a trap... ...the Guild Master will take care of them. Hyak said they're here, the Guild Master is in Room 208 inside this building, he did his part, they're on their own now. It was in front of a fairly large three-story brick house. Arin asked this is the Guild of Thieves. Seton said it looked like an ordinary inn... he's not tricking them, right. Hyak was angry and shouted to Seton that what, he was expecting a sign saying Guild of Thieves for everyone to see, he's the ones who broke down the wall of an ordinary home... Pete said he's so fearless all of a sudden. Yuna said it looked like they're in the right place, even the most timid dogs bark loudly in their own homes, after all, still, they can't afford to lower their guard... ...not when they're inside a Den of Thieves. They went up the stairs, walked a bit, and found a room with a sign saying Room 208. Seton took the initiative to open the door and was astonished. Inside a small square room. It was an ordinary-looking room with a single wooden table. This was because a young man was sitting at the table and showing the back of his head. He looked back and said Hyak told him about their company, they may come in. Seton was surprised and thought an elf, the leader of the thieves is an elf. Pete asked since when did forest-dwelling elves engage in... thievery. Charlene said she can't believe such a noble species would be the leader of the thieves. Yuna had an expression that was so absurd that it bordered on astonishment. Aria asked Yuna. Yuna asked Elyne... ...what he's doing here. Seton thought Yuna... seemed shaken, she does know him. Elyne said haha, what a strange twist of fate, who knew he'd get to see Yuna here in the empire so far from home, it's been so long, his daughter. Yuna silently sent a look of hatred towards Elyne. Arin shouted that elf is her dad, Yuna, that does mean she's an elf too. Seton was angry and said of course not. Yuna clenched her hand and said she was an orphan... and he took her in just to boss her around, she has never had a depraved elf like him as a father. Elyne said depraved, all he did was burn a few trees, they're the ones who went overboard, banishing him from the forest like they did, let him formally introduce himself, his name is Elyne Kanus... Elyne said with a big smile that ...also known as Elkryl the Gale back when he used to be a mercenary, as they can see, he's an elf, presently serving as the leader of here, they all seem to be friends of his dear Yuna... At that moment, Yuna's sharp voice echoed throughout the room. Yuna was angry and shouted shut up, Elyne don't dare say her name. Elyne said how harsh... after all the love and care he gave Yuna when she was an orphan with nowhere to go. Elyne smiled sinisterly, not like an elf and said he really did care for Yuna... ...as a pet, that is. Finally Seton exploded, pulled out his sword and pointed it at Elyne and said that's enough, he can't tell Yuna's upset. Elyne said to Seton that he's fast... ...this is the sword style of the House of Sarasnein, he should know, he lived there once. Seton's excited voice breaking out and shouted to Elyne that he should stop bragging and apologize to Yuna. At that moment, Elyne's a hand moved to his waist and said what a feisty young man... With a sharp metallic sound, Elyne's Estoc was pulled out and pushed against Seton's Bastard Sword. Elyne said to Seton that ...drawing his sword so recklessly. Elyne said to Seton that he seemed quite sure of his skills... Elyne's Estoc cut off some of Seton's hair. Elyne said to Seton that ...but it's not be luck that he became the Guild Master, he saw. ^[1]

Raedi thought Queen Erea, the previous Queen of Sorcery, saw her potential, even though she started studying magic later in life, she became the empire's second most powerful mage in just 40 years. Raedi smiled coldly as she approached Aria secretly from behind and thought she saw, she used to be a Guild Master for Guild of Thieves. ^[5]

Capital city of the Southern Empire, Idelon. On a street with a considerable number of pedestrians, a group of handsome men and beautiful women walked down the street, drawing all the attention of those around them. Rosarahim was patiented and said they're almost there. Rosarahim said here it's, they've arrived at the Guild of Thieves. They stood in front of a three-story building. Helmernod said what a nice house, thieves back then didn't live in such fine places. Eyra said they'll look for Eorin as soon as they find Arin, right, then what they're waiting for, let's go. Rosarahim said with a forced smile that oh, let her enter first, these kinds of guilds don't open their doors the normal way. Karstein asked huh, it's such a big hassle. Karstein looked at the inn indifferently, said then he'll open the door for them. Karstein wiggled his fingers. Someone asked what. Karstein said open. Elyne drank tea in a quiet room. Elyne said ahhh... ...a nice cup of black tea while basking in the warm sunlight... truly wonderful. Elyne asked hmm. The wall shook for a moment, and then suddenly the area began to crumble like sand. Elyne asked huh. Elyne shouted whaaat. The inn split into left and right. Rosarahim was surprised and asked whoa, how he did do that, Lord Karstein. Karstein answered through the power of the Dragon Language, Rosarahim will learn to do it just as easily when she's his age, that meant he has to wait a few more millennia... A thief was surprised and shouted b-boss, he's okay, the building suddenly split apart... Another theif shouted what's going on. Karsenian asked to Elyne that he's the leader around here. Elyne thought this is their doing, they're mages. Karsenian grabbed Elyne by the collar and asked what he's spacing out for, she asked him a question. Elyne was angry and shouted what's wrong with her, woman, what's the idea, grabbing him by the collar. Karsenian asked to Elyne that he's talking to her. Karsenian said Magic Hammer. Elyne was struck by Magic Hammer. Karsenian said Nonstop Magic Hammer. Elyne was struck by Nonstop Magic Hammer again. Elyne shouted help. Elyne said what the woman do want from him... he'll do whatever she ask, as long as it's within his limits... Karsenian said to Elyne that oh, she forgot, they were supposed to commission him for a job. Karsenian said to Elyne that there's a boy who looked like her, he may have gone around dressed up as a girl, he should bring him to her. Elyne thought wait, the woman made a violent entrance... ...just to commission them to find someone. Elyne said sure thing... the woman should tell him what she last saw him-- Before Elyne could finish speaking, Karsenian's right hand began to burn again. Elyne said h-he meant, they'll find him soon regardless. Elyne thought he can't refuse the woman's request, whether or not he can find the boy is not an issue, if he refuse her, she might kill him. At this point, Elyne realized something. Elyne said huh... Elyne said wait a second... ...he has seen the woman's face before, the boy was Yuna's friend... ...Arin, it was. Karsenian's hand grabbed Elyne's collar again and shouted Arin, where he did see him, where he's now, he should spill it. Elyne said w-wait the woman please let go first... Elyne pointed somewhere and said ...Arin is... there. Elyne said Arin is over there. Karsenian asked what is that. Rosarahim asked the palace, that's where Arin is, he's made it big. Archiad answered it's the Tower of Razel, the tower that Brodalean built when he was dreaming of being a dwarf. Karstein smirked and said Brodalean... from the Silver Clan, a silver-haired dwarf huh, what a sight that must have been. Karsenian shouted to Elyne that he's sure about this. Elyne said o-of course. Karsenian shouted finally, she found that troublemaker. ^[8]

Outskirts of Idelon[]

The endless ruins of Idelon, bathed in the setting sun. An old mansion on the outskirts of Idelon overlooking the city, a man asked whoa... the castle has been razed to the ground, there could have been some kind of magical mishap. Elyne said to his subordinate that hmph, leaving their hideout and retreating to the outskirts to escape those monsters turned out to be a blessing in disguise, how ironic, they could've ended up dead. Elyne laughed and shouted he sured was lucky. Someone said to Elyne that oh, there he's. Another said to Elyne that good thing they cast a tracking spell on him in case they couldn't find Arin. Karstein said to Elyne that they need a place to stay, he should prepare the rooms for them, he should bring them dinner too, they're starving. Elyne froze. Karsenian shouted to Elyne that he should hurry up and get moving. Elyne's direct subordinates said umm... ...Boss... Someone orders let's prepare the rooms and make dinner... Elyne's direct subordinates answered yes, Sir... Karstein extended his hand towards Yuna and used healing spell and said heal. Yuna touched her neck. Yuna said she can... speak again. Karsenian said why Karstein would bother to treat these humans, who cared if they're in trouble, he knew a hatchling's dream is worthless. Karstein said but he has no reason to ignore it either, plus, they're not just any humans, they're Arin's friends, now that they've caught him, this is the least they can do so he won't run away again. Karsenian said fine, let's leave it at that, their family issue has been resolved, and all the other dragons have left... ...except for Blondie. Rosarahim was angry. Rosarahim said she'd like to stay here a little longer, she's curious about the Almighty Creature... ...so once her questions were answered, she may stay behind and enjoy herself. Karstein said very well, it's been a while since he has enjoyed living as a human, perhaps he should indulge in another dream, once he return to his original form, he can't be bothered to do anything... Seton saw Karstein. Seton thought he still can't believe it, that guy... ...is Arin really a dragon. Seton clenched his teeth and left the room. Charlene saw this and said Seton... ^[9]
