After meeting with Brenin, and Hana, we made our way to the students who were supposed to be awaiting our arrival. We had given them ample time to prepare, and soon their journey would begin. When we arrived, I was happy to find them all waiting patiently. No disturbances, just students waiting patiently. I smiled slightly as I cleared my throat to garner their attention.
"Very good to see you all here." I began. "As I stated, you are all to work together in order to defeat this foe. Yet, I have been asked by our headmaster to try and coax the demon back to Hell's Gate....instead of killing him. This goes only for the Leader...as his minions may be naught but incarnations of himself sent out for distraction. That is really all that has changed, and the fact remains; if you are in danger, and can not capture him, protect yourself first. Understood?"
It was somewhat silent. I wondered if they were even listening. Wouldn't matter... "Anyhow. That is not your most urgent matter at hand. First you must GET to the village hmm?" I signaled for Hana to distribute the scrolls, and she did so immediately. Everyone getting one...a scroll that contained a map within. "There you see the village, as well as our location here. Your task is simple, get from here; Point A, to there; Point B." A sadistic grin formed on my lips.
"Easy...chh. Not for these sorry sods..." Brenin commented. "There are plenty of wild beasts wandering here...ASIDE from the merciless terrain. Forests where you can easily get lost, a huge canyon with a bridge long forgotten and unmanaged....all just before the small mountain you have to find a way through. Worst part, you're all to be there by dawn on the next day. We had thought sundown tomorrow, but that's expecting a bit much from all of you...wet behind the ears and all."
"Humph, and just who do you think you're talking to like that?!" Megami exclaimed. "Don't even lump me in with these wimps!"
"Wimps, maybe YOU should watch your mouth!" Rei Objected, attempting to confront Makoto.
"I wouldn't do that! Do you have a DEATH WISH?!" James scoffed as he warned Rei.
"James, stay out of it..." Jezabelle commented nonchalantly.
"See what you've started Brenin?" Shori laughed. Shimei giggled with him.
Suddenly I felt a spike in Makoto, a red aura starting to seep from him in my sight. I saw blood in my right eye...it was time to intervene. "ENOUGH!!!" I boomed loudly, my wings shooting out to the sides.
Silence.
"No need to ruffle your feathers Sinclair...geez...it's just a little friendly arguing." Brenin commented.
"There is absolutely NO Point for it." I snarled.
"Yeah...please stop fighting everyone..." Hana pleaded in a quiet tone.
"The MISSION is to get to the village. You WILL not engage your fellow students, you will work together to get there in one piece. Is this understood?!"
"Yes Sir..." Was the quiet acquiescence from them all.
"Get going then...and remember...you will be evaluated for your behavior on this mission. Should I be the one to catch you in a fight, you may not make it back here for your punishment..." I threatened, glaring especially at Makoto and Rei...the loathful DEMONS.
"Hope you can back that up...ANGEL..." Makoto sneered, spitting to the side.
Shortly after, they all departed on their way. Off to the village in the valley over the mountain.
"I will take to the air. Brenin, you will cover the ground, and Hana, you will meet us at the village. Correct?" I clarified.
"Yes, please be careful Sir Sinclair..."
I smiled. "Don't you worry."
Brenin stretched a bit, seemingly taking his time. He noticed me staring at him. "What? Gotta give the kids a nice head start...I'll be on their heels in no time." He laughed.
I rolled my eyes a bit and took to the sky. "Just keep your eyes open...those creatures out there....aren't for US to scoff at either..."
"I know, I know..." I heard him mumbling as I departed.

Alright! Mission's a GO. Now, what you need to do, is get through the perilous terrain and reach the outskirts of the village. Then the next phase will commence. Basically this. Write what obstacles your character comes across on their way. There are treacherous wood creatures that you wouldn't even begin to imagine! >.< Not to mention the land itself. The bridge you must cross is very unstable...you could easily fall to your death should it break! That is...if you GET to the bridge easily...the forest is tricky to navigate as well! When you reach the mountain, you have several paths. There is the choice of going OVER the mountain...or Under it. There are many caves at it's base...however...this choice is deadly as well...for they are an endless labyrinth...you never know where you'll end up. If you choose to hike over it, it is very steep in some points. Careful!!
Get Creative, and we'll see you on the other side! :3
