The Master of my Friend

It had been several months since Atla had not seen Jatziri, at first he was not very important since he was training in Atl and all, but months without returning home? This is a long time.

After scouring Jatziri's house trying to find some clue, Atla remembers something important that Jat had told him once.

'If I'm not mistaken he'd found a master to train him in Atl ... if I find him, maybe he'll know where Jat is.'

Atla then goes towards Teocualt, arriving there he begins to look for people, until he meets a tall Nagual, Atla then approaches, dressed in his favorite white dress and with a bow on his back.

"Excuse me, do you know about someone named Jatziri Mansur?"
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
 Ajax tried thinking of the last time he had seen Jatziri. It had been months now last he heard he was somewhere near Jianghu. He wondered if he had been captured and killed or if he had managed to return home.

He looked at Atla and scratched his chin.

"I did know of Jatziri. I use to train the boy however I have not seen him in quite a while. Why do you ask?"
(Ajax)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:59:34] Atla is impressed that he has found exactly the Master of Jatzir and then opens his eyes.

"Oh, then it is you who were his master, allow me to present myself correctly, I am Atla-Cuauhtli, an archer, scholar and runescriber of Ezmara."

Atla extends her hand to shake hands with the Nagual.

"Jatziri is the closest person I have here in Agartha, we came here together, but I'm more worried about the house and with an expedition that I had planned to do with him, I currently live in his house, but as he does not appear to I have been careful of the house for a long time, and the day of the expedition is coming, but I alone can not face all the dangers that can happen. "

"
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
 Atla does not seem to be so shocked by the Nagual's words about Jatziri, but he takes a deep breath and then lets the air out, his head lowered, as he looks at the ground and reflects a little.

"I see, I think the best I can hope for is that he fought till the end, Gehennian blood runs through his veins after all."

He then raises his head and looks up at the sky.

"Finally, we must continue our work here and honor the legacy of those who fought bravely, I intend to continue the expedition, your strength would certainly be of great help. Well, the expedition boils down to exploring further Agartha, I heard that this land was once occupied a long time ago, there seem to be ruins of an ancient civilization hidden in Agartha, and the expedition is to find these ruins and try to find out any useful information about these lands, perhaps even secrets about the Spiers, so we can help Gehenna to reach our goal. "
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ajax asks, "Mm this does sound like an interesting thing indeed. Are there possible dangers in these ruins?"
Atla-Cuauhtli says, "Certainly, ruins tend to have a strong spiritual connection, so perhaps there are powerful spirits, or even in the way during the forest there may be Yokais or Daemons that we do not know the power."
[19:42:14] Ajax says, "Interesting. This sounds like the perfect place for me to grow stronger! I would love to accompany."
[19:43:56] Atla-Cuauhtli asks, "Great, but I guess just the two of us would not be enough yet, do you know anyone else who might be interested?"
[19:45:39] Ruach says, "Evening"
[19:47:21] Ajax asks, "Good evening Ruach...Mm well yes I suppose I do, but the question is. How many would you like to accompany us?"
[19:48:12] Atla-Cuauhtli says, "believe that a small group would be ideal for this type of exploration, then something between 3 to 5 people."
[19:49:04] Atla-Cuauhtli says, "I believe*"
Ruach says, "..."
 Ajax says, "Ah perfect I suppose I could do just that! I will start thinking what the ideal candidates are."
[19:49:55] Ajax began scratching at his chin. "Hmm when should we be prepared to leave?"
(Ajax)

 "Tell me who the candidates are when they already have their names and introduce us, about when we should leave, hm ... I imagine it should still take a few months, I have to prepare some equipment and supplies for this."

Atla then notices someone in the corner, he did not recognize him since he did not stay long in the territory of Atl, Atla's eyes soon turn to the right.

"Oh, hello, sorry I did not notice you before."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:59:18] Ajax says, "Alright sounds good. I will introduce them all before we leave. "
 Ruach tilted his head and sat down cris-crossed on the platform, looking down at the much nicer-haired individual with a curious gaze in his eyes. Just as his he had explained himself, he had the same reasoning as well.

"Hey! The name is Ruach, and I don't believe I've met you either,"

An insignificant, pained smile beamed across his face as he exclaimed in a such a low raspy voice, a hand held to his throat.
(Ruach)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ajax rested himself against the wall of the temple. He looked at Ruach and then at Atla. He did not know if Ruach was up for the challenge or even interested. However they had a few months and with some training anything was possible.

"Mm well what about Ruach here? I don't really know his skill level, but that would be one more than we currently have."
(Ajax)
 Ruach says, "I'm no magi, I think."

 there were many people in the square that day, Zafir's eyes rested on a specific person ... Ajax but he was occupied by what he could see.

So he walked to the stone wall and leaned on it, hoping that Ajax was calmer and unoccupied.

Who would be the others who were in the square that day ... he had not seen or remembered them.
(Zafir)

 Atla's eagle eyes turned to Ruauch, studying her body minutely, noticing every feature of it, then Atla notices that the boy is actually a Drakanite.

"So your name is Ruauch? Hmm, nice to meet you, I'm Atla-Cuauhtli."

Atla considers what Ajax said but was still uncertain, he then puts his hand on his chin and thinks for a while, tapping his foot lightly on the ground a few times.

"So you think you're not a magi? There's a way to figure this out ..."

Atla walks a little in the direction of Ruauch, in a space that was more open and then concentrates mana at the tip of his finger and crouches, soon begins to draw runes, forming a runic circle.

"If you do not mind Ruauch, between this circle, if you are not a Magi, the circle will remain disabled, but if you are, it will begin to drain your mana and it will start to shine."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)

 Ajax watched as Cuauhtli performed his magical test on Ruach. He had never seen something like this performed before.
(Ajax)

Ruach cocked a brow, for he was uncertain of what to expect and do. His hand stayed to his throat. He continued to stay sat down on the ground, averting his gaze from Atla to the runic circle, waiting for the ritual to end for the final results.

"Mmn yes...I see. What is 'mana'?"
(Ruach)

After linking the mana circle with Ruauch the circle simply collapses, Atla is extremely surprised.

"That... you do not even know what mana is? How did you get here?"

That drakanite really looked weak and had no instructions on magic or mana itself. Atla turns and heads towards Ajax.

"Yeah, I think he does not really have potential, he will not be useful to the expedition, it does not matter much, we do not have to be rushed about new members."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
Ajax says, "Hmm indeed to be honest I thought he knew more than that as well..It's okay I will find some to help."
Ajax says, "Mm well my new trainee over there Zafir. He will have to come! He needs the experience."
Mugil Lionare asks, "What is it? A quiet day again?"
[21:12:41] Ajax exclaims, "Ah well we will be going on an adventure to some secret ruins!"
[21:13:32] Mugil Lionare asks, "When?"
[21:13:32] Atla-Cuauhtli says, "Oh, hello, i guess you are the Warchief of Atl, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."
[21:14:24] Mugil Lionare says, "Oh right, yes."
[21:14:24] Mugil Lionare says, "Uh, we had another. Mercuria. But something about her honor being lost happened."
[21:15:15] Atla-Cuauhtli says, "About the expedition, well, I need a few months to prepare supplies."
[21:15:15] Zafir says, "Hmmm hello, Warchief, my name is Zafir. I don't thing we have meet already"
Zafir says, "hmm for i'll go to this adventure with you Ajax. "
 Mugil Lionare says, "I doubt it. A few new faces is nice."
Ajax exclaims, "Mm we have a few months to prepare so we must be as ready as possible when the time comes!"
Mugil Lionare says, "It would be fun to join."
[21:17:48] Mugil Lionare says, "I tend to miss the chance..."
Atla-Cuauhtli says, "Hmm, so you are interested as well? What's your name? "
[21:21:13] Zafir says, "My name is Zafir and i didn't catch yours"
Atla-Cuauhtli asks, "My name is Atla-Cuauhtli, do you have any magic proficiency?"
 The heart of the sarradian began to beat stronger while the things for a new adventure were being put on the table. The opportunity to hunt, to find treasures, Perhaps to learn more about their magic .... Nothing could move the boy who came to Agartha to these things more.

''As you see, for my skin...i'm a Sarradian, we born connected to the elements. So my magic power resides in them, and they resides in me.''He referred to his skin as being the most smooth and beautiful skin, chocolate color that no human, no matter if it was Gehennean, could get.
(Zafir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:29:45] Mugil Lionare asks, "Huh, how did you learn our language?"
 Zafir says, "funny story ..."
[21:30:36] Zafir says, "I was kidnapped and turned into a slave when I was little poor Sarradian. "
[21:30:36] Mugil Lionare says, "Heh, quite funny."
[21:32:19] Zafir says, "so they taught me the language"
[21:32:19] Mugil Lionare says, "Fair enough. Was curious. Is all."
[21:33:10] Zafir says, "it's okay"
[21:34:01] He rested his body against the wall and crossed his arms.
(Zafir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:35:44] Atla approaches Zafir, her eyes fixed, watching every aspect of the Sarradian.

"Hm, interesting, well, I'm sure you for being a sarradian is capable of this, so I do not need to test you, it will be nice to have a sarradian in the group, your experiences should help us too."

The group seemed to be forming, that was good, an adventure will always be unforgettable.

"Then prepare yourself in a few months, I'll keep in contact and i'll let you know when everything is ready."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:39:08] He nodded and looked at the adult. "I'm still in training but I'll do everything I can to help." After a few minutes of remaining silent, Zafir looked back at Atla. '' What kind of magic was that you used for that test? ''
(Zafir)

 Amiel' says, "Where...is...wingman..."
[21:45:07] Ajax moved away from wall he was leaning on and began to stretch his body. Speaking out louder so that everyone could hear. "That sounds good! We will train till then!"
(Ajax)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:45:58] Amiel' says, "Where...is....Xomac...."
[21:45:58] Zafir says, "and who are you ? "
[21:46:49] Atla leans against the wall to rest a little from Ezmara's journey to Teocuatl, then he turns his head to Zafir.

"It is not exactly magic, this is called Runes, it is a set of writings that can absorb mana for all sorts of uses, they can improve the magical properties of a weapon, provide protection to a location or restrict the magic circuits of a magi , the utilities are almost endless, but it's hard to learn and become a master, even though I still have a lot to learn, but I already know enough to consider myself a runescriber adept. "
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:47:40] Amiel' says, "It doesn't matter who I am"

[21:51:56] The sarradian had heard everything that Atla had said, but someone else had entered the plaza in front of the temple. It was really impressive what he said, Zafir smiled "Give me a second. '' And then he turn to see where the young man was again.

'' Perhaps that guy ... who is the Warchief '' He said pointing to Mugil '' Oh East, who is a warrior. '' He did the same with Ajax.

'' They can help you ... our Chieftain is not around. ''
(Zafir)
His domineer became cold. His eyes deadened with the passing phrase. He didn't want to hear it. Not now. His back was aching, the signs of dry blood on his coat.

"I don't want to hear that. I need to see him now...I'm this way because I tried to help you lot. I need reparations for my work done. One prosthetic for the injury I received in battle. Produce..." he said. His words were almost monotone.

"Let's not mention the 5 months in prison...."
(Amiel')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:03:02] The blacksmith shook his head. "I have no idea who you are or who you're looking for. But most likely it'll lead to me with an injury like that. Personally I don't owe you anything so I'll stay out of that much but if you want a kit, it'll cost you like everyone else." He taps his foot and corses his arms. The then takes a step back to his shop.

"Medcial attention is quite rare around here, so good luck with that." He waves off lazily behind him, continuing his steps away from here...
(Mugil Lionare)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:04:44] Amiel' says, "I don't know who that guy was, nor do i care to."
[22:04:44] Amiel' says, "Where...is...Xomac."
[22:08:09] For someone who needs help ... he was very desperate and stubborn. Then he shrugged his shoulder. '' Look ... He was the Warchief, you must have more respect...if you want to keep your head attached to you body.'' Then I walk back to his original position near the entrance of the temple.

'' As I told you, the Cheiftain is not here. '' He said looking at Atla again ignoring the wounds, that person was too disrespectful and could still walk ... maybe he could find someone to help him but Zafir.


'' As I was saying, that skill of yours sounds interesting ... ''
(Zafir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:09:52] Amiel' says, "Tch..."
[22:10:43] Amiel' says, "Fuck your warchief. Fuck your chief too. I'll find him myself..."
Atla usually prefers to stay out of Atl's affairs, but the way the man spoke up angered him.
"Forget him Zafir, that kind of people are the worst."

The man had left the place, that was a relief.

"Well, now that he's gone I think I should start preparations for the expedition, I must go now."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:15:50] Ajax asks, "What just happened with Amiel?"
[22:17:32] Atla-Cuauhtli says, "I don't know who he is, but i already don't like him."
[22:19:15] Ajax says, "Mm he is indeed an odd one."
[22:20:06] he nodded and then looked at Atla. ''It's okay! I should also start training and prepare for that adventure too...By the way your ability with the rune can enchant anything to make it better isn't it? ... Because if it so, I'd love to talk to you about something later when you have time. '' He said and then waves ..

''See you soon.''
(Zafir)
Zafir says, "i don't know him either but...what i know is that he disrespected our leaders"
[22:23:31] Zafir says, "we should take into consideration once he shows up again here .."
[22:25:13] Ajax walked over to them and grabbed them both around the shoulders bringing them in. "Ah don't worry about him. I'll take care of it laterr! Ah if you ever need resources for your runescribing just ask as well."
(Ajax)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He stops for a bit in front of the fountain to talk to Zafir.

"Yes, with the runes I can grant magical, physical and elemental increase of power to objects, but if you intend to ask for something like this, I must tell you that money is necessary, to do this is not easy, to create runes requires a lot of mana and stamina, making my body more tired. "
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:30:20] '' I understand ... when I have the basic concepts of what I want, I will find you....and we'll discuss about the payment.'' He nodded several times and then smiled at his new friend.

'' Anyway, if you need something ... you know you can ask me as Ajax says. '' And then he approached the Nagual to put his body against the wall as it was already a boy's habit.
(Zafir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:31:12] Atla for a moment turns to answer Ajax.

"Thank you, it will certainly be necessary, if they get enough money I can enchant your equipments for the adventure too, well, that's it, goodbye."

He then continues to walk towards Ezmara.

(Atla-Cuauhtli)
