Dark Magus Returns

Two individuals walked in from around the corner, just behind a large rubble wall. Both of them dressed in dark cloaks that covered their bodies, dragging across most of their body but split at the front, revealing one in a skirt, and the other in long black trousers.

As for the design of the robes themselves that he two of them were wearing, they were different compared to that which Yono wore. Both of them had a peaked cape, making them point more outward while the sides went in more, as if they were cut out, revealing the side of their face.

It gave the two the appearance of a raven of sorts. However, what was special about both of these robes they were wearing were the enchantments on them. Despite being able to see the side of their face, the special enchantment made it so their actual faces were invisible no matter how much one directly looked at them.

As for the one who was wearing the trousers, who Raze presumed was Harvey, his specially peaked cape had a dark purple lining on the edge. A strange glow was shining through it, traveling down his robes until it went around both of his wrists. Almost like a neon light moving around.

Lastly, there was actually one more wearing a robe that Raze only noticed when they got close, sitting on the shoulder of the female. Even the relatively large, fat black cat was wearing a strange black vest of sorts, even though its chest was already black.

"We greet the Dark Spirit!" Although the voice was altered, Raze had quickly gathered that the man was indeed Harvey. Just from the way he spoke and his demeanor.

"We greet the Dark Spirit," Kelly quickly said, after Harvey had turned her way. Almost as if she was reluctant to do such a thing but had done so anyway.

"It's nice to meet the both of you. I'm sorry for coming unannounced, but there are things that I need your help with," Raze stated. "It appears that a lot has changed."

"Yes!" Harvey answered enthusiastically. "There has been great developments. The Dark Guild that you told us to create, it has expanded greatly in size. Connections, links to the city, and more. The Dark Guild is ready to act whenever you need it, Great Spirit."

"Right, I gave you a task, and it seems you have accomplished it beyond what I thought," Raze replied. "But since you know who I really am, why are you still calling me the Dark Spirit?"

"This is a term for the rest of the members," Harvey answered. "I did as you said, spreading rumors of the Dark Magus's return, but then there would be questions asking where he is, when would they get to see him."

"I believe there will be the right moment, where you get to hear exactly what you wanted from time to time. Either way, I am pleased you are happy with my work. Please let me know, what is it that we can help you with?"

The situation that was unfolding was a lot better than Raze initially thought. When he did return to Alterian, there were not just the Grand Magus but the guilds themselves that needed to be dealt with.

Being on Pagna, Raze had learned one thing, a mistake he had greatly made. Why had he succeeded in getting so far in Pagna but had failed in Alterian? It was because of the people around him and the strength of the position he was in.

In Alterian, he had tried to do everything himself, which was impossible with how big the Grand Magus had become. He could see that clearer now.

"Out of everyone, I assume that you should know the power of the Dark Guild at the moment, are they strong enough to take on a top medium-sized guild, or one of the smaller larger size guilds?"

As soon as Raze asked the question, Harvey started to burst out in a belly of laughter.

"So it's finally happening, the Dark Guild is finally going to make a move! If you want my opinion, we could go after the Cerebus Guild. They have been a pain in my backside for a long time, and are making it harder for me to run my investigation on the Grand Magus. It would be taking out two problems in one."

"The Cerebus Guild, the one that is connected to Gizin? My worry then is if the Grand Magus themselves get involved. I think it's better to target those linked to the Grand Magus, so if you can find one of that caliber, but not directly connected, that would be a good choice."

"We need to attack the main base directly. I need all of their enchanted items and artifacts they have, even down to the last robe."

"Certainly!" Harvey answered.

"As for you, Kelly."

"Please sir, don't use our names while we are like this," Kelly replied. "Call me Nightcaller." Her voice was a little shaky as she said the words. She understood the importance of the names, just didn't like the names themselves.

Surely, in a guild, a new name would grant great honor, but in this situation, when she had been a part of the creation process, it all felt too strange for her.

"Well, Nightcaller, I'm going to need your help in two ways. Do you remember that annoying girl at the academy, I think Aurora was her name? Her brother Alen was in the military. He was a talented mage that worked under Enaxx?"

Kelly nodded her head as she listened.

"Can you get in contact with her, or her brother, and say I wish to have a meeting. The two of us did talk before. I already cast my favor, but maybe you can ask him, did he find out what I said, is the world not as rose-tinted as he first believed, he will know what I mean, I'm sure that will get him to meet me."

It was a risk, meeting someone so famous and connected to Enaxx, but risks needed to be taken at this point.
