As soon as Kaede got a response from Zosima, she was a little disappointed her idea was turned out at first, then suddenly a pixie who happened to know Zosima appeared suddenly. For a minute Kaede couldn't believe what she was seeing and was starting to wonder what kind of city did she really end up in that is far out but the more she thought about it she soon realized after everything she had seen from when she met Nico up until now started to make her wonder why she even bother to question anything in this city anymore. When she heard that they we're going off to the guild she snapped back to reality and realized the group started to take off."Huh?...Hey wait-!... ahh dang it...", she starts to take off after then until Nico quickly tries to stop her and says "Kid! hold up for a minute!" he says as he quickly gets in front of her and continues "Look, just calm down for a sec. Besides we don't really have any idea on where Kaleo even is. So instead of trying to blindly walk into this maybe lets just try to get a lead, at the very least?" Nico said as he tried to get Kaede to think for a minute. After a moment Kaede responds to Nico "Fine, what did you have in mind anyway?" she says hoping Nico had something figured out and he responds "Well, not much but right now it be best to go to the guild for now to get an idea of where she might be, plus that pixie might know somethin'. Other than that I kinda wanted to ask you something else", he added, "Any luck getting that transformation pen back?" He asked hoping Kaede had something but Kaede frowned and said "Nope...haven't seen it anywhere in sight, and was kinda hoping to have found it by now. I swear I can never catch a break!", with that Nico responds "Still? Well then in that case when I get back to life again I'll see what I can do to find it. But for now let's focus on finding a lead on Kaleo's whereabouts and...if you're really thinking about going forward trying to save Kaleo then we need to find something that will help with some of the ghosts that might be a bit aggressive.", he says as the two head towards the guild behind the group at a distance. Once they get there they finally catch up to Zosima and the others and they enter the guild hoping to find any leads. Eventually someone came up to Kaede and said ”Hello. Were you brought to the guild due to the unfortunate circumstances the city has found itself in, or do you perhaps frequent here? I am Azrael, and you are? I would also ask the name of your familiar, if it would be suitable.” Kaede looked confused and responded "uhh... what?", she said while trying to figure out what Azrael meant and continued, "The heck do you mean by Familiar?"

Nekeo was just busy deciphering one of his newer ancient tombs he collected while exploring a ruin with his partner when he suddenly sensed a massive pulse of magic outside the guild, being someone who is well versed in ancient magic he's able to sense magic around him but this magic He felt? It felt different from the magic he feels in ruins, dark, evil...he isn't sure what just happened but what seemed like moments later crowds of people of all kinds started coming into the guild and he could see the panic in many peoples eyes and he noticed the barrier being placed around the guild and by what he can tell it's of spiritual nature? "What the heck is going on?" he couldn't help but ask that as he returns the ancient tomb into his backpack and it seems to just vanish inside before he closes it and puts it on his back "is everyone okay? is there anything I can do to help?" he asked while getting up and walking through the crowd, unsure who to talk to but upon listening to people talk he hears mention of ghosts appearing? what? how? is it connected to that massive pulse of magic he felt? If this is the case this might be out of his field, however he does know magic does have some sort of affect against ghosts so maybe he can help temporarily disperse the evil ghosts but only temporarily since his magic has nothing to do with necromancy. "anyone need any water? food?" suddenly with a snap of his fingers water bottles appear floating at his right and fresh cooked food floating on plates to his left while looking around for the Guild Master, maybe he can explain to him what happened though he can't help but feel slightly excited about a possible adventure.

"...You ain't going anywhere if you don't got a clue about where you're going," "I'm all for screwing over the idiots who started this mess, but the girl's got a point about running around wasting time without a plan."
Sophie, Hannah and Kenji all looked at the speaker. Listening to what he said, Kenji rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms. " Well no duh." he replied. Hannah said nothing as she looked at the newcomer. Sophie raised a eye brow as the man spoke, recognizing him as the guy that had the man who had the idea of going to the school. Oh? He would like to come along to?
Though before she could reply a new voice spoke up. With a rather curious looking person following behind him.
"Fortunately,"It just so happens that Mr. Devitt here specializes in life force tracking."
The two men have a back and forth though what Sophie was most interested in was the fact these two together may be able to help find the necromancers.
When Mr. Blackmoor showed up Hannah perked up a bit as she looked over at him. "Oh Professor you are gonna help as well? That's so great!" Her eyes lighting up as she smiled. She felt this mission had a higher chance with Mr. Blackmoor on the team. Not that she doubted Sophie but... She just felt the more people on this mission the better. Mean while staying silent Concetta was glaring at Blake, she did not trust the man at all after over hearing what he had said about spirits earlier. Though she would keep her mouth shut for now... If he had a way of helping finding the necromancers she would tolerate him for the time being.
Sophie looked at Blake, Cardinal and Izzack as if she was studying and judging rather or not she would allow them to come.
" Ok then, what exactly can you three bring to the table? This wont be a easy mission.. The Necromancers wont hesitate to kill you and resurrect your corpse.. You will need power and skill to deal with them." Sophie said in a low tone and the look of a boss asking questions to a possible new hire. She was also in a way trying to discourage Hannah and Kenji from coming as well... While she appreciated their concern and willingness to help she did not want to them get hurt. So she was not gonna sugarcoat anything.
Mean while Zosmia had noticed that Izzack had gone off to speak to someone so she silently followed and over heard him tell everything that was going on to his friend. While it did annoy her that he would just go off like that and tell someone she did not know everything without asking first, the point was to get help so she would let it slide. Celine also followed behind also listening in. Soon after the man with Izzack went over to another group that had formed and started talking about the necromancers and how to find them. Zosmia then stepped forward. " I would like to come to, my sister Kaleo is danger. The necromancers have her."
Celine then also stepped forward.
" I to would like to offer my aide. I am friends with Kaleo and Zosmia. I have also have experience dealing with Necromancers. I used to hunt them in my younger years." The Pixie said. Her home has been destroyed by Necromancers, she after that went on revenge spree killing all necromancers she could find. Though that did not heal the hurt in her heart. When she met Kaleo and Zosmia she knew what Kaleo and her sister where but.. They where not like other Necromancers and where on the run. After she heard their story she had decided to help them. After that Celine went back to her life goal. Becoming a scholar and started to travel the world. Now it was time to hunt Necromancers again, this time it was to save Kaleo and most likely the world.
"Perhaps this is a discussion best done in private." Came a new voice. Hannah, Kenji, Sophie, Zosmia and Celine all turned to see Marcus. The Guild Master.
" Oh hello Mr. Marcus." Hannah said with a smile. "Hello Pops." Kenji greeted.
Mean while Sophie and Marcus locked eyes for a moment.
They both could sense each other where immortals.
Sophie smiled, " Heh, hello immortal brother."
"Hello immortal sister." Marcus replied.
It was a greeting done when two immortals met for the first time.
This made Hannah and Kenji give very confused looks.
Marcus and Sophie both chuckled a little. "Its just a greeting nothing more.. We have more pressing matters.. Come all of you to my office." Marcus said as he started to lead the way. However he pulled out a magical communicator and spoke into it. "Javier, Nekeo. Come to my office please." Once at the office Marcus waited for everyone enter before closing and locking the door so make sure no one would interrupt this meeting.

"Ok then, what exactly can you three bring to the table? This won't be an easy mission..." Sophie warned. "The Necromancers won't hesitate to kill you and resurrect your corpse... You will need power and skill to deal with them."
Izzack paused. Her warnings were... ironic, to say the least. There were many things that scared or confused Izzack, but death wasn't one of them. Due to the simple nature of his life, he had the distinct feeling that raising him from the dead would be…difficult was a bit of a light word for it. Could he take out wave upon wave of necromancer, barely breaking a sweat? No, probably not, but that didn’t matter. These monsters were the very antithesis of who he was, and what he stood for. He didn’t need his oath to Kaleo to want to stand against her captors. He wanted, no, he needed to do this no matter what. He felt his confidence begin to follow his resolve as it grew, and he stood up a little straighter.
"You do not need to worry about me," Izzack smiled, ”I will never serve the likes of them.” he promised. As an example of his fighting skill, he concentrated, then summoned a sphere of fire in the palm of his hand, and placed a small barrier of air around it. In a violent burst, the sphere exploded, though safely contained by the air.
-----------
”Ah.”
It would appear that Azrael had been mistaken.
”I apologize. My behavior seems to have confused you. I am Azrael.” he offered. He could see Fiona coming his way. Strange, he did not think that he would need supervision for this task. Perhaps Fiona was to take notes on this encounter.
”I believed you to be inclined to magical pursuits due to an abundance of similar individuals around us. I apologize for the assumption. I hope you are not offended?” It would not do to have complaints being sent to the weapons division, after all. Maybe that was Fiona’s purpose here, to smooth things over with others.

"Oh Professor you are gonna help as well? That's so great!"
The older man's smile was soft. "If I am allowed," Cardinal answered neutrally, mostly yielding the decision to the young lady who seemed to be taking charge.
"Ok then, what exactly can you three bring to the table? This won't be an easy mission..." Sophie warned. "The Necromancers won't hesitate to kill you and resurrect your corpse... You will need power and skill to deal with them."
Izzack answered first, almost to Cardinal's surprise. Almost was the keyword - he knew his friend was in trouble, and it was only natural to want to save her. After the reaper showcased a sample of his abilities, Cardinal felt he should do the same.
"...I understand the severity of the threat." The man briefly nodded with a furrowed brow. "I'll concede my age, yes... But I teach magic here at the guild. My family has practiced it for generations; I've trained with it since I was a child," The man paused, almost regretful, though he glanced at Izzack to remind himself why he was offering to help in the first place. "...I've some familiarity with necromancy, though I've never desired to try it myself. I prefer utilizing elemental spells," he added. Then, true to his magician persona, the man smoothly pulled a tome out from behind his cape, snapping it open to a page neatly bookmarked with a ribbon in one fluid motion. He glanced down at the book for a moment, then snapped his fingers, formulating a levitating crystal of ice above his hand. He snapped his fingers again, and it crackled into electricity. Once more, and its form wavered into flames. "I assure you, these are small examples; I hope you understand I'm not too keen on unleashing full spells when we're crowded like this..." He frowned, glancing around. "...But if all else fails, I've a teleport spell prepared to escape if needed."
Blake meanwhile gave a small huff. The girl's point was valid, but he didn't like how she challenged him. He was plenty skilled. He'd only devoted most of his entire life to studying magic and rituals...! "This shit is kind of my speciality," he grunted. "Like I said before, if you're looking for someone, I can find them. Done it for years," he said bluntly. "If you don't think I should go along, then find someone else to do it for you." His answer was less than friendly, and it wasn't helped by the fact that he could feel some ghost woman's angry gaze on him.
...Not the first time he'd experienced it, honestly. It was kind of like his wife's. Ex-wife's, rather.
Before either of them could continue speaking, a few others joined in on the conversation: a girl who said herself to be the sister of Izzack's friend, and a pixie who claimed to hunt necromancers. The guild master arrived shortly after, offering his office as a place to discuss the matter more privately. The two older men (or three, if Izzack's looks counted him for one) followed the group to the office, though Cardinal spoke up to Blake along the way.
"Devitt..." The magician frowned. Blake leered back at him.
"Don't "Devitt" me, Blackmoore."
"The girl has a point, but I know you're more than capable," he spoke diplomatically. He could tell the man felt slighted - hell, Cardinal took offense from him earlier - but now wasn't the time to be petty. "Your help would be invaluable..."
Blake snerked, continuing their conversation even after entering the office. With the noise of the crowds gone, it was plain to hear for everyone else, though Blake cared little about it. "Even if I did want to help, it'd be for tracking. Sure, I've fought before - I think I did okay. I didn't die. But I'm a researcher, not a fighter, so tracking is what I offer. But like I said: If I'm tracking someone down, I need something that holds the person's energy signature so I know what to look for." He lowered his eyelids. "Well worn piece of clothing, favored personal items - shit like that." Blake waved a hand dismissively. "If I don't know what energy I'm supposed to be detecting, then I can't be much help, now can I?"
"Well... the person we're looking for..." Cardinal glanced around, looking for Zossima. He gestured to her, unaware of her true nature of being undead. "You... said you're her sister, correct? Perhaps you might have something Mr. Devitt here could use to locate her...?"
-----------
The young woman trailing behind Azrael finally caught up. "Hah... Hah... Azrael...!" She panted, having scurried after him, fearing he'd vanish from her sight in the crowds. "Haa... Sorry... Give me a second..." She pressed a hand to her chest, inhaling and exhaling deeply, steadying her breathing. "Whew... Ah... Azrael... Please don't run off again, at least not without me. I need to stay close to you." She paused. "Uh, boss' orders." She quickly added. She then turned to Kaede. "Aah... I'm sorry, he... hasn't said anything untoward, has he?" She asked, glancing at Azrael again.

”Ah.”
”I apologize. My behavior seems to have confused you. I am Azrael.”
”I believed you to be inclined to magical pursuits due to an abundance of similar individuals around us. I apologize for the assumption. I hope you are not offended?”
Kaede wasn't sure what to think of this Azrael guy to just show up out of nowhere and just start asking her questions, but then again it would make sense with everything happening so far with ghosts and what not decided to try to satisfy the man's questions. "Uhh, I guess I wouldn't be offended" she answered, "but the whole magical pursuit thing...well, I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not exactly chasing ghosts here...". While she was busy talking, Nico, seeing the opportunity that the two were distracted decided to catch back up with the group, as he catches up with Zosmia and the others he listens in on to the conversation and waits for a chance to talk to Zosmia. After he listened in on the conversation he takes a moment to talk to Zosmia and asks "Hey, I hope it's not too much trouble stoppin' ya for a moment, I know the kid was trying to be helpful, but sometimes she'll walk into situations before thinkin' it through first. If you need me or her for help still, we'll do what we can, but if you think the danger is too great I'll try to see about talkin the kid out of it, I'd just need some details on why. Just didn't get to hear the whole conversation you all had.", he says before waiting for an answer.

Nekeo kinda just continued to help out anyone who needed it the best he could but he couldn't help but listen in on what people are talking about, ghosts, undead and Necromancers? well that sounds like a fun adventure indeed! He kinda wants to approach these people and ask if he can be of any help but alas everyone seems too busy with talking to each other thus making him stay quiet for now despite his tail is practically wagging with excitement as if practically saying 'put me in coach! I can help!' but just as he helped a random person calm down and get confortable he hears the head master voice boom through the room.
"Javier, Nekeo. Come to my office please."
Yep that got his attention!! It's not often him and his friend gets called to the office and thinking this is has to do with what everyone is talking about his excitement reaches it's peek! "On our way headmaster!!" he yelled with great enthusiasm in fact he's so excited he ends up casting a speed spell on himself that makes him zip through the crowd so fast he might accidentally create a gust a wind past everyone! oops! hope no one is wearing any skirts today! Since his best friend Javier was also called he runs to him first and grabs him by the arm.
"Come on Javier!! adventure is a foot hehehe! this is going to be fun!!"
Dang he's like a kid in a candy store and clearly not afraid of the obvious dangers as he teleports them both to the Headmaster's office with a flash of white light and appears right in front of the Headmaster's desk and pretty much yells "we're here!!" with great enthusiasm while looking at everyone else who clearly look extremely serious, well that's to be expected..it is a serious thing that's happening right now but yet here he is with a big smile on his face.
"I hope we aren't late!" he practically chirped and looked at Javier, hoping the sudden rush Nekeo just did didn't over whelm him or anything, maybe Javier will forgive him if he pretends to brush off dust? maybe?

"You do not need to worry about me," ”I will never serve the likes of them.”
Sophie looked over at Izzack, she was a little surprised to hear that from a reaper like him. But she guessed he did not think she knew what he was. He was not the first reaper she had met. It is rare however seeing as most are really good at staying hidden and only come forward if somthing is very dire. So Sophie just smiled and nodded, " I did not have any worries for you." was her short reply to show she had confidence in him. She had mostly been talking to everyone else, especially Hannah... Sophie did not really want her to go. Sophie could tell she was putting on a brave face.. But Hannah seemed scared at the thought of fighting these necromancers. She really hoped Hannah was not wanting to live up to the family name... But that very well could be the case.
Sophie then turned her attention to Blake and Cardinal when they started to say what they could do. Sophie nodded when Cardinal spoke of the magic he could do and how his family has a rich history of magic. Well someone good with magic would be good to have on their side and his older age just meant he had a lot more experience then someone younger. Then it was Blake's turn to speak, haha he was still a bit sore at being questioned huh? Oof the ego on this one. Though Sophie kept her expression neutral as Blake spoke about what he could do. Ooh yes tracking would be most useful.
Others joined in, one saying she was the sister of the one who was taken and other a friend of both. Heh a necromancer hunting pixie? That's new.
Though before Sophie could reply the guild master had showed up and now moved everyone to his office.
This is when Sophie would take a step back so she could listen and observe. it would be wise to learn as much as she could about her new teammates.
Mean while Concetta was doing her best not look at Marcus, she had never expected to run into someone she knew when she was alive and a friend of her husband to boot.. Though she did want to ask about Phill now was not the time. Though there was another fear, he would say somthing about Phill right in front of Sophie... She lived a life without regrets but she had only one.. Never telling Sophie about her Father.
Though the immortal guild master looked right at her, so she sighed giving him a small smile and nod. She knew that look he was giving, she was in for a chat later. When Marcus first saw Sophie he almost thought she was Concetta, then seeing Concetta with Sophie it did not take much to put two and two together. Sophie was Concetta and Phill's daughter.. And Phill never knew.. Though they had more pressing matters to attend to so their chat would have to wait.
Javier was making his way to the guild master's office when suddenly his friend Nekeo suddenly grabbed his arm and took off. The poor guy did not have time to cry out in shock he was just suddenly in the guild master's office standing next to Nekeo. Javier blinked a few times then looked down at Nekeo. " Thanks Nekeo." He said as he then looked at the new faces in the room then looked at the guild master waiting to hear the reason he and Nekeo where asked to come. Though he had a feeling it was somthing to so with all the ghosts outside.
Seeing that Javier and Nekeo had arrived Kenji and Hannah walked over to them. "Ah, here to join the party too?" Kenji asked.
Zosmia stayed close to Celine, she was the only one she fully trusted here, she had some trust in Izzack but he she still found it difficult to trust him fully because he was a reaper.
"You... said you're her sister, correct? Perhaps you might have something Mr. Devitt here could use to locate her...?"
Zosmia turned to look at the speaker, ah one of the older guys. Zosmia sighed and shook her head.
" No... I don't have anything on me that could be used to track her.. I would most likely have to go back the office or our home to find somthing.." Zosmia said keeping her head low so her face could not be seen, that was done mostly out of habit when she was stuck being close to people she did not know.
Then suddenly the ghost cat started talking to her.
"Hey, I hope it's not too much trouble stoppin' ya for a moment, I know the kid was trying to be helpful, but sometimes she'll walk into situations before thinkin' it through first. If you need me or her for help still, we'll do what we can, but if you think the danger is too great I'll try to see about talkin the kid out of it, I'd just need some details on why. Just didn't get to hear the whole conversation you all had."
Zosmia's face softened and she knelt down to better speak to Nico.
" Yes... I think it would be best if she stayed here. She has no powers or magic and these necromancers would kill her when given the chance." Zosmia knew first hand how evil and cruel they could be.. They where the reason she was dead after all.. Somthing she never told Kaleo, she just claimed it was a outsider.. How she wished now she would have told her..
