:Airlia and Eva make their way down the dark streets of Lindblum. They arrived in the city late, leaving their chocobos outside they snuck into town undetected and made their way through the dark alleys, being careful to avoid main routes that were being patrolled:
:Airlia pauses and kneels down, she pulls out a map from her right glove and quickly glances at it:
"We're not far.."
:She looks up and motions:
"Down the alley and the last door on the left, there was a person living there that we need to speak with."
(OOC- Sorry for the wait, this is a baaaaaad week for me!)

(OOC- Nah its cool, how rough is it?)
::Eva nodded while looking around making sure no one was in the area::
"Are you sure they're still here? And do you think that they made it this far already?"
::She shifted uneasily as she watched Airlia put up the map and stood up::
"In any case....from what you told me I'm curious to actually see whats going on thats causing all this secrecy..."
::She looked around again and listened trying to see she hear's anything moving around them::

(OOC- Good God man...its shity! I had a practical Monday, 2 patients scheduled campus from 730-6. Today was 9-6 w/ a practical and 2 patients. Tomorrow is 1 midterm, 1 practical, I'll be there from 730-4, Thur is 830-3 w/ 1 exam, Fri 730-7 w/ 2 patients. Yea....busy, but the nice thing is the next few wks should be half way decent. Just a bad week for me to schedule all these patients....)
:The two slowly make their way down the dark alley to the door. Light breaks the dark from the slightly opened rickety door. Airlia slowly reaches out to it before glancing back to Eva:
"He knows a lot about the summoners. He worked at the academy as a professor under Infinity."
:She pauses as she wonders why she even bothered to tell her that, but starts opening the door:
"Come in....I have been waiting."
:The voice breaks the silence and startles the two, but they shake it off and the creepiness that he knew they were there. The two enter to a small room that appears to be a living room. An old frail man sits in a rocking chair leaning back in it:
"Instructor...I'm...."
:He interrupts her, he speaks calm and slow, yet his voice still commands respect:
"My dear, there's no need to apologize or explain your reason for being here. I already know."
:He pauses as if something was different. His hand raises slightly from the chair, as if to feel the air:
"Who is your friend?"

(OOC- Yikes! I feel your pain...)
::Eva raised an eyebrow a bit impressed at the fact he knew they were there and the reason why but was still somewhat creeped out before shaking it off again::
"Hi my name is Eva....."
Hmmm...are we friends...yea I would have to say we are if not comrades.
::She thinks about it for a moment and then decided to smile a bit::
"and I've been aquainted with Airlia a quite few times...due to circumstances."

:The man smiles and leans back:
"Ah...we have a skeptic in our prescence."
:He takes a slow deep breath before continuing:
"I presume you're looking for the book."
:Sighes:
"You won't find it. They have it stashed deep within their compounds."
:Airlia appears dejected:
"...but?"
:He continues on as if he wasn't finished:
"There is another book though. It is in Madain Sari and that fact alone may put a crimp in your plans."

::Eva raises an eyebrow and thought about it for a moment::
"Isn't that where you was trained at Airlia?"
::She then looks back at the man::
"If the first book is in their grasp why would Madain Sari put a crimp into the plans? Unless that one is heavily guarded too...."
::She slowly sighed and then thought about it some more::
"Wouldn't it be a matter of which one would be easier to grasp? Or is there something I'm missing."

:Airlia pauses at Eva's comment and hesitates:
"Yes and no....sort of, I mean....ehhh..."
:The elder interrupts:
"She hasn't told you about it?"
:He utters out a chuckle and continues:
"Airlia, my dear, when will y-"
Airlia: "Please sir, continue on, theres no need for.."
"Very well. How familiar are you with the summoner's race? This book she seeks is their holy book. It documents the origins of the summoners and their entire history. It is said to be a legend, but the fact that they're so intent on capturing you makes it apparent to me that they know you know."
:The elder smiles:
"Why does she need the book is the next issue. Airlia, do you really realize what you're attempting?"
(OOC- This is the build up for the rest of our story, sorry if it seems slow, but I need to add all this in now)

(OOC- I'm not complaining, better to have a story make sense and get a few things explained rather than jumping into something ) ::Eva raises an eyebrow at Airlia's hesitation when the question was asked but decided that she would tell her whenever she's ready:: "As far as what I know about the summoners race besides the fact they can summon some legendary monsters....or spirits if you will to aide with them to do battle...whether for good or evil." ::She thought about it a second:: "Although I've heard stories of a couple that aren't necessarily summons but still helped out." ::She looked over at the elder then back at Airlia waiting for her to answer his question with a raised eyebrow::

"The book has been thus far accurate about the race. They were on the verge of being extinguished and managed to retreat to safety. They've since slowly built themselves back up and there was supposed to be a summoner to lead their way. A new leader to help bring them back to power."
:The man stops and smiles as Airlia looks down:
Airlia: "Yes, I know all of this....but no one else does."
Elder: "The sect has kept it under close wraps. For some reason they had kept this secret from all of the other summoners and I have a feeling they kept it from even the council."
:Airlia nods:
Airlia: "Even more than that. I think they influenced the council in all matters after...after Infinity left us."
Elder: "Indeed. You must find out. I believe there is more to this story than we know. Why did they hide it if Infinity was the one?"
:Airlia turns to Eva:
"This is not going to be easy, nor pretty from here out. I would recommend you not coming along. The Sect of the Phoenix is not going to give up these secrets easy."
Elder: "Airlia. Go to Madain Sari, the other book you seek is there in the old city library."

"Since when has a battle ever been easy or pretty."
::Eva said with a smirk before looking at her seriously::
"I thank you for your concern but I've told you before you had a nasty habit of not asking others for help when you need it."
::She looks at the elder::
"There's a chance that the Sect of the Phoenix may be there already trying to look for the book isn't there?"
::She turned back over to Airlia and smiled softly::
"Hey...we found our forest...lets try to find the leaf."

:The elder sits forward:
Elder: "I believe they know as much about the book as us, if not less. This book may not be helpful at all, the only one I am sure about is the one the Sect has..."
:Airlia nods:
Elder: "Remember, you must not mention the Sect, neither of you. Most summoners do not know of it."
Airlia: "Yes sir."
Elder: "I hope you're both ready to stumble down into a dark, dark, deep hole of corruption and lies."
:The elder smiles and leans back into his chair:
Elder: "This is no small matter I sense. Now go...they will find you two if you're in one place too long. If you got away once before I assure you they will be sending the heavy guns next time around."
:Airlia nods and bows her head:
"Thank you sir..."
:She pauses as if she is searching for something else to say and turns toward the door:
"Its time."

"Since when has anything been small in adventures...."
::Eva did a slight chuckle before giving a serious look::
"Thanks for your help...."
::Eva gave a small wave before walking next to Airlia out the door::
"So....off to the place you seem to dislike the most?"

:Airlia starts to push the door open, but the old man breaks the creak of the old door:
"Hurry....they're here."
:He waves them on to go and leans back in his chair. Airlia looks at Eva with a more grim expression:
"He said it would be something different this time. We need to hurry."
(OOC- So SORRY for the wait!!! I've been so damn busy!!!!!!!)

(OOC-Bah you should be ashamed for making me wait lol its cool) ::Eva nodded before looking back at the old man:: "Thanks again." ::She waited til Airlia was behind her before making her way quietly towards the dark alleyway to make sure she stays in the shadows before bending down again:: "Alright now what way would you propose to getting to Madain Sari." ::She kept her senses open listening for anything suspicious::

:Airlia shrugs and pauses to listen:
"Something isn't right."
:The closes her eyes:
"They're here. They didn't send the same o..."
:There is silence as she pauses in midspeech:
"...they only sent one, a different on this time."

:Both girls are slammed into the building wall. They try to wiggle free, but they're pinned against it by spikes that pierce their shoulders and upper body:
[glow=red,2,300]Resistance is futile[/glow]
:The errie voice almost sounds like a hollowed echo:
[glow=red,2,300]Death is imminent[/glow]
:The two can see nothing but eyes that flicker in the dark from distant lights:

::Eva growled slightly ignoring the pain thats on her upper body at the moment::
"Like hell death is imminent...."
::She slowly moves her fingers towards her sword making sure that the eyes don't notice her movements::
"Who are you...."
This person's different from anyone I've ever met or seen....we're going to have to be careful..
