Helping Hand

Hatsune left after the wedding's completion. There were a few less rabbits around her by that time, and there was a suspicious swelling in her chest that moved independently from her breaths as it moved downwards.
(Hatsune Panic)
 "..Yeah, maybe I should stop fighting people in that tundra where everyone can see me." He says with a pause. "Maybe because it happens in the day time and everyone's awake."

A night-time gank.. hmm..

"..Wel--"

..spire shard???
(Citlalli)
Citlalli reaches out 2 grab..
(Citlalli)
 {NARRATION} With a small pop something fades into the square.
"... Well?" Paprika's head tilts, then her head turns. There's a moment of silence. She's processing. There's a dial-up tone...

"... What."
(Paprika)
Hatsune Panic says, "... Huh... It doesn't..."
Citlalli's hand immediately reaches out to try and grasp it! (I felt bad for doing a Bad Emote so here's a little more effortpost)
(Citlalli)
{NARRATION} Fingers fade right through the illusion.
Atla kept himself in the marriage for some time but he did not care for the wedding, love did not interest him, after all he was asexual, the only thing that kept him there was Hatsune, after what happened in Cruxati he saw that Hatsune had stayed with him Core of Arra'Kor and this was very interesting to Atla.
He then waited for Hatsune to leave the temple and then followed her, outside the temple he stood beside her.

"Hello, allow me to introduce myself, I am Atla-Cuahtli, Ezmaran Runescriber and Bowman."

He said this as he reached out to shake hands.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
Citlalli says, "..Aaaah......."
 It wasn't everyday something just simply POPS into view, or rather with a pop, FADES into existence within the square.

To that end, the young dancer approached; not to grasp it, but to simply look at it in a rather astonished manner.

"Is it... Real?", she mumbles out, blinkingly.
(Xitlalli)
Paprika flutters her wings and promptly glides over to the shiny stone! She expects it curiously, buzzing around it like a hummingbird to a vibrant flower.

"... It doesn't appear to be real." The fae concludes, trying the same as Citlalli. Her hand outstretches, and as expected, it's more than likely to just phase through.

"Hm."
(Paprika)
{NARRATION} With another small popping sound it vanishes.
Hatsune watched the antics with the illusory spire shard from a distance. She was the furthest from it, and thus she was the least likely to make claim to it if it was real- And then fingers went right through it.

She turned her attention to the man next to her and tilted her head slowly.

"I am Hatsune Panic. Hatsune comes from my mother Hatsarashikaro and my father Geyetharasune. It is good to meet you, Atla-Cuahtli."
(Hatsune Panic)
Paprika asks, "Eh!?"
Citlalli exclaims, "..What!"
Paprika says, "It's gone..."
Citlalli says, "What just happened.."
Hatsune Panic says, "Someone here is an illusion magi."
Hatsune Panic says, "When something happens that doesn't make sense, your hand goes through it, etcetera... That's usually the cause."
Citlalli says, "That's weird.."
Citlalli says, "Why would someone do that..."
Paprika looks down at her hands, fingers flexing. "Illusion magic is the only explaination, but... Who?" She flutters a little higher just to look around.
(Paprika)
 Xitlalli says, "That ain't right..."
Xitlalli asks, "Who's doing this?"
Hatsune Panic says, "Compound that with all of the burning soothing reed earlier? Seems like someone is having an odd laugh."
Hatsune Panic says, "Or something. Might be more angry spirits."
Citlalli says, "Oh great.."
Paprika says, "Angry enough to play tricks, I suppose..."
Paprika says, "I prefer that to the other day, though."
Citlalli says, "..Yes... that was the worst."
Citlalli says, "I need to go. Hmm. Train."
Citlalli limps off fo the arena. His leg is stabbed and bandaged and limpy but that's okay.
(Citlalli)
Xitlalli says, "I feel so strange. I need to go sit down."
 "The pleasure is all mine, well ... I go straight to the point, after that battle with Arra'Kor I saw that you stayed with Core, I could clearly feel a disturbance in our spirits, I have strong connection with the spirits and I am able to cross into the spirit world, this thing intrigues me, I'm afraid that something bad happened to us and I wanted to study more about this Core... "

He paused for a moment to wet his lips.

"Basically I came to offer help."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
Hatsune stared at the man before slowly nodding her head.

"If you have indeed crossed into the Spirit World then you would be invaluable in this venture for that alone. We plan on going into the Spirit World to find out what purpose all of this holds for us."

"The Core itself is rather anomalous, and I plan on putting it through rudimentary tests to judge some of its properties. I will be keeping it as simple as possible to inhibit any damage or risk that might be caused. With that in mind, this is an object that is not profane. The being that left it was certainly not natural, however, which leaves most people scratching their heads...""
(Hatsune Panic)
Atla expressed a smile after hearing the words of Hatsune, the spiritual world enchanted him, and to see that there were more people also who wanted to visit that place, even if it was a serious matter, it made him happier.

"Certainly, there is still much that intrigues me in the spiritual world, especially a being..."

He crossed his arms and frowned.

"He may also have answers about what that core is, he calls himself Keeper of Knowledge, he must certainly have all or almost all of the answers about the spiritual world, but honestly I have no idea how to find him again."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
"Uwa. I see. The 'Keeper of Knowledge' might have the answers, but finding him will be a question itself. If our travels bring us there, at least we will know what to expect. You said you went there already, yes? How did you get to the Spirit World? Or did another perform the ritual required to get you there?"

The mermaid kept her eyes forward and wide open.
(Hatsune Panic)
"Well, I am an energy magi, at first I could only transport my spirit to the spiritual world for a short time, but after some things happened I got a power called Mystic and now I am able to go there with my physical body whenever I want, the Keeper of Knowledge indirectly ended up helping me in this... "

As he spoke energy began to flow from his body, just as the surrounding mana from the surrounding environment began to gather, energy began to cover his body and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared, Atla had gone to the ethereal plane only to demonstrate to Hatsune, after about 5 seconds he reappeared in the same place.

"Something similar to that."
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
 "Can you only transport yourself to the Spirit World?" Hatsune asks after the demonstration. Her face remained an impassive mask of exotic features void of any readable emotion. She stared at the man with unblinking blue eyes and did not stir in surprise as he disappeared and reappeared.
(Hatsune Panic)
"Unfortunately yes, when I found the Keeper of Knowledge other people were with me, but it was through a portal created by Keeper of Knowledge himself in ruins of an ancient civilization here of Agartha."

He folded his arms and turned to the square of Cruxati, noticing the movement and feeling the light breeze that was running.
(Atla-Cuauhtli)
 "Regardless, any knowledge of the Spirit World is invaluable. We will call on you when this quest begins, and perhaps the object I hold will aid in making our way there properly."

The mermaid tore her eyes from the man to look at the others. Armies, groups, and the like... Never a good sign.
