'Let's do this' I smiled to myself. The rest of the materials were kept at the side being taken one by one and heated to their melting point before being mixed into the mold. Wires of various colors were made and placed at the same time so as to streamline the process. In my mind's eye I could see the end result coming together. Every single part did its job, the runes that I needed to etch were there but they were blurred as if they were just out of reach. It took everything in me to remember, no, to…-

"Ahem…" I coughed into my fist, "We may have gotten off on the wrong foo-" "20 gold" I was cut off, the girl in front of me arrogantly setting the price with no place to haggle. I had to grit my teeth, I could not anger this person. Those gems of hers were perfect m, the greatest quality that I had ever seen. If I was able to get my hands on one of those I would be able to double… no triple the cost of it. Though I wasn't going to sell it I was going to use it for my own purposes. As long as I was…

Various voices reached my ears, the sound of the footsteps echoed throughout the street as people walked by. Oblivious to the comings and goings of the greater news. Fresh blood. I smiled a predatory smile that I usually kept to myself. I sat on a chair, my elbows firmly placed so that they could support my head. Aether flew through my veins as a slight charm was cast, a faint glow of light pink emanated from my body before it suffused in the nearby people, seducing them into the embrace of greed. 'That…

I found myself back in the hotel room that Delta had rented out for us. The walk back was enlightening, I did not know what Delta had done but the nobles were tense and the regular citizens seemed to have sensed something. And it was no doubt Delta's fault, I could tell by the way the situation had felt to me. The way that the guards seemed to be tensed at any stranger, how the spies had been taken toward more important duties. Every little thing about the interactions between these people had Delta's…

My foot reached past the edge, gravity had done its job and pulled me to the ground. With silent steps I landed, I was only a couple blocks walk away from where I wanted to go. Briefly I thought back to the spies that had been following the duo but I didn't need to worry about them, I made sure to arrange a little accident for them before anything. Though I didn't just target them, no, I targeted many others to throw off the scent. I needed them to think that this was a coordinated attack from the other…

A creaking noise greeted me as the royal dolls pulled their halberds to the side. Their arms reached towards the doors as they opened it. I couldn't help but notice the intricate designs for the first time, the rivers of gold scolding the peasants as a royal king watched on. The inscriptions tell a story of rebellion. I was broken from my thoughts as the guards finished opening the door. I watched as the opulent display of wealth was shown to me, the thrown room was made out of pure gold enchanted to the…

"Good, now that you understand we can discuss your role in all of this" I whispered into the ear of the spy that I had captured. Though we weren't idle, in the wake of the explosion that I had set off the panic that ensued allowed for a great opportunity to disappear into the crowd easily. With my hand firmly set on the nape of his neck I dragged him with me until I found an appropriate setting for our discussion. "You are going to go back to the castle and start your report. Once you are done with the…

I walked off watching as behind me Aoif and Darwin did the same. When I looked back to watch them I saw as their own forms disappeared in the crowd of people that had taken the space between us in moments. It seemed that despite how empty the streets had been, during the time that we had breakfast the morning commuters had taken the streets. It was filled with hundreds of these people as they moved around, their constant shuffling a convenient veil that Darwin and Aoif had made use of. Although despite…

"Order something random and don't act suspicious" Delta said, her eyes pointed towards a random table where a group of noble look-alikes were gathered. They were all looking at their own menus, expressions of thought on their faces as they every so often snuck a glance at our own table. "Why?" I asked, when I had taken a look at them I could judge them to be weak, just judging by the way they held themselves and the amount of aether that flew through them they couldn't be any higher than high tier 9, at…

"I've found the last fragments of ownership of this realm" Was the first thing that Delta said when she sat us down. I wasn't even able to take a bite out of the food that she had ordered for us before she dropped that bomb of information on us. "How?" Aoif asked, curious. "I scouted a bit last night" Delta began, "Found that the huge castle in the middle of the city contains the ruler." Delta said, her hand pointed to the side as she looks over to the window. It was pretty obvious that the castle had a…
