Mana!

Zera:Well, we can walk. I doubt anyone really knows where the source is or anything. Never really tried camping either. I'm sure this'll be fun. So, what're your names? Mine's Zera.

Gentle: Gentle and this is Fierce.
Fierce: Yeah.

Zera:Great to meet you both. ^ ^ *starts walking in the direction of Darkovia*

Fierce; yeah yeah.
Gentle: Great to meet you too. ^ ^

Zera:What weapon do you use Gentle? Oh, and I guess if it sounds alright we'll stop by the next nearest town for food and stuff since this'll be a long trip.

Fierce: She doesn't use a weapon.
Gentle: I just haven't found one that i liked using is all.

Zera:Oh, ok. You should use the weapons you try out for a while though. I didn't like mine at first but I warmed up to him after a lot of use. *squints* Town should be coming into sight soon. Hm.

Fierce: Yeah, like a sword.
Gentle: Fuck the sword. <.<

Zera:Well when we get there you should check out what they have to try out...oh. *sees the silhouette of the town on the horizon* That shouldn't be like that. Looks like half the town got fucked up.

Gentle: Fine.

~Little Later, town~

Zera:>,> I wanted to do this. Dammit. Everything's destroyed. But at least that means we can loot it! ^ ^ *kicks down the door to the town's community storage* ._.

A herd of beasts made up of dark energy all look at him, creating an awkward pause before rushing toward him. He cuts through a lot of them but he eventually gets tackled and mauled, stabbing at them as they do this.

DUSK:*walks out through the doorway whistling and looks toward the nearby fray* Oh hey there man...you don't looks so good.

Zera kills the last one and his injuries and clothes repair themselves.

Zera:>,> What're you doing here?
DUSK:*tosses a scroll up and catches it* Just business is all. Word on the street is there's a nice new kind of energy source out there. Everyone wants it but doesn't know where to go for it.
Zera:Oh. So that's related to it?
DUSK:Yeah, how'd you guess?
Zera:>,>

He slashes at DUSK who blocks it with his hand before charging his fist with dark rune energy and punching Zera in the face, impacting him into a stone building.

DUSK:*starts whistling again before turning to the Battles, abruptly stopping* What're a couple of sexy girls like you doing with an idiot like him?

Fierce: Sexy? You tryin' to start something, smart ass?!
Gentle: Calm down, Fierce. We're just with the guy cause we're bored and got nothing better to do.

DUSK:Hm. Damn, I'd hate to have a life that boring.
Zera:*pries himself from the wall* Ow. *comes back, dragging Plague behind him* Ok...how about I ask nicely? Gimme the paper.
DUSK:>,> That's not very nice-like. *gets skewered onto Plague and Zera bats him into a wall over and over again before dissipating*
Zera:He's such a dick. *leans over a corner and coughs up a little blood before the injuries heal and picks up the scroll* Hm. Doesn't look special. *opens it up* Damn, it's a teleportation rune.

They get teleported to Darkovia, and a strong pulse of mana is released where they land, the area glowing blue from the saturation of energy.

Zera:Well this takes all the fun out of it. Guess we'll wander around until we find something.

Gentle: Maybe we should find a fancy castle? All vampires live in fancy castles, right?
Fierce: I'd call you an idiot for that, but at least it could be something to look out for.

Zera:Well yeah...guess we'll just follow this trail. *walks down a marked trail* So, what do you guys do as hobbies? I'm sure you guys do something to occupy your time.

Fierce: I build stuff. Mostly little houses. I just like it.
Gentle: Sewing.

Zera:Cool. ^ ^
Plague: (When do I get to eat them?)
Zera:-.- I'm sorry I wish this little trip was more interesting...

Gentle: I know.

~Later, large castle~

Zera:Well check that out. Maybe this is the place we're looking for. *walks up to the large door, cutting down random undead with Plague and knocking on the door*

Gentle: Maybe.

~A few minutes later~

Zera:Eh. If it is Run's place she's taking way too long. *gets ready to swing Plague*
Plague:Hey, hey. Maybe you should think about thi-

Zera cuts the door down, meeting heavy resistance from a magic ward.

Zera:That was kind of a bitch...

Run: *plays with fire by magic* Hmmmm.... *kicks her legs in the chair she's sitting in* This mana feels extremely natural...

Zera:>,> So...you're Run? Why didn't you answer the door?.?

Run: Oh, you were knocking?
Fierce: Kind of.
Run: Sorry, sometimes I don't pay attention to stuff like that.

Zera:So, I heard from someone that you had some knowledge related to the new magic source the world is creating?
