- DS, having trouble sleeping, takes out her notebook once again, and looks over what she has written so far -

DS: (thinking) Hmm... These fighting scenes in the first episode could be improved... The sun fairy should put up more of a fight before one of the masked guys manages to sneak up on her and catch her while she's distracted dealing with the others, and there has to be a way I can make the second fight go on a bit longer as well... Also, I suppose these first two episodes could be aired back-to-back, that is, assuming the others think this would make a good reboot...

- DS quietly picks up something to write with -

DS: With the fantasy setting, it is much easier to write some of the more fantastical elements of our adventures in without them drawing too much attention to themselves... I wonder if Tagg might still think it's risky, though...

- Thinks for a moment -

Well, either way,  this is a fun little experiment of sorts. So, anyways... How should I make this first draft of episode 3...?

- Takes a moment to think about it, before starting to write some things down -

When we last saw our heroes, they had all agreed to travel together for now. Tagg the wizard was initially opposed to the idea of bringing Herbert and Lillith along as he didn't want to put them in danger, but eventually they convinced him to bring them along, and Tagg agreed to become Herbert's mentor in magic. However, what adventures await? How will Herbert's wizard training go? And will they be able to help Ammy the sun fairy track down her friend?

- DS looks over what she has so far -

DS: All right, that works... Now, how do I begin the actual episode itself...

- DS thinks about it for a moment, before snickering a little as she begins writing something down -

Heading out of town, the group had travelled through the nearby forest, until they had found a spot that Tagg felt would be a good place to begin Herbert's wizard training. After that, they found a place to sleep for the night, with Tagg using a spell that would temporarily make a field around the four of them so that they wouldn't be found by any possible threats while they were sleeping.

The next morning...

Wizard!Tagg: (wakes up, only to find Lillith next to him, hugging him in her sleep) "..."

Startled, but managing not to freak out, the wizard quietly grabbed the arm that she had wrapped around him and carefully lifted it off him so he could get out from her grip. Once he had freed himself without waking the girl up, he got up and carefully took a few steps back, watching her while he was doing so as if she were a wild Pokémon that would pounce on him the moment he turned his back on her.

In a nearby tree, a certain sun fairy was watching the wizard, seeming a bit amused by the scene.

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Tagg, what are you doing?"

Wizard!Tagg: (looks up at Ammy) "Oh, good morning, Ammy." (clears throat) "So... How long have you been awake?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy (giggles) "Lillith seems to get affectionate in her sleep, huh?"

Wizard!Tagg: (sighs) "... Please don't tell anyone."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (flies down and lands on Tagg's shoulder) "Relax, I won't do that!"

Wizard!Tagg: "... Thanks."

Sun Fairy!Ammy (smiles) "Come on, Tagg! Cheer up! It's such a lovely day!" (giggles and flies around)

Wizard!Herbert: (waking up) "Hmm...?" (yawns) "What's going on?"

Wizard!Tagg: (looks over at Herbert) "Ah, good. You're awake. We can begin your training now."

Wizard!Herbert: (gets up) "Now?" (shrugs) "Seems a little early in the morning, but okay."

Wizard!Tagg: (nods) "Okay then. Before we begin..."

Tagg conjures up his staff, and casts the summon spell to summon his familiar.

Wizard!Tagg: (to Familiar!Muddy) "Keep an eye on the girls while I'm busy, okay?"

Familiar!Muddy: (nods)

Wizard!Tagg: "Thank you." (to Herbert) "Come with me."

The two wizards head over to the spot Tagg chose for the first magic lesson, while Muddy stays behind with Ammy and the still-asleep Lillith.

Wizard!Herbert: "So... How you find your familiar, anyways? I mean, how do you know which Pokémon is yours?

Wizard!Tagg: "It's difficult to explain, but one can usually feel a special connection with ones familiar that is in some way different from a regular bond with one."

Wizard!Herbert: "Hmm... Not exactly sure if that'll make finding my familiar any easier or not..."

Wizard!Tagg: (shrugs) "Well, it's certainly not uncommon to find ones familiar when you're not looking for it."

Wizard!Herbert: (sighs) "So, in other words, it's pretty much luck based?"

Wizard!Tagg: "Well, I wouldn't say it's solely based on luck, as there ways to make it easier to determine what your familiar is, and where to find it."

Wizard!Herbert "I'll keep that in mind... So, I didn't really understand what that spell last night did... Is it an invisibility spell of some sort?"

Wizard!Tagg: "Not exactly, although I guess the purpose is pretty much the same. It casts an invisible forcefield that makes it so those outside the field will pay no attention to those inside the field. It is a useful spell for when you want to make absolutely sure that no one will try to listen on in your private conversations."

Wizard!Herbert: "Cool. Are you going to teach me how to do that?"

Wizard!Tagg: (nods) "I probably will at some point."

- DS stops for a moment -

DS: (thinking) Um... What would their first magic lesson be, anyways?

- Tries thinking about it for a moment -

DS: Hmm... Maybe I should get some sleep, and write the rest of the episode tomorrow...

The next morning

- DS wakes up, and looks at where she left off in her notebook -

DS: ...

DS' mindscape

- DS aspects are pushing the Writer's Block towards a cliff, but are still far from reaching it so they can push it off -

Pyrite Hotel room

DS: (sighs, thinking to herself) Still can't think of anything... (glances around) Hmm...

- Takes out her X-Transceiver, and sends out a couple of texts in hopes of getting some inspiration -

Later that day...

- DS sits down and takes out the notebook -

(thinking) All right, let's see...

- Begins writing -

Holding his magic staff in his left hand as he faced Herbert, it was time to begin their first magic lesson.

Wizard!Tagg: "Okay, what do you already know about magic?"

Wizard!Herbert: "Well... I do know how to sense and identify different types of magic to some extent."

Wizard!Tagg: (nods) "Good. We'll begin by expanding on what you already know. The ability to use your magic this way is indeed a useful skill, as we can not only pick up on and identify different types of magic, but once you've developed this skill enough, you will likely find yourself gaining a sixth sense of sorts, which can alert you to danger by allowing you to pick up on different auras and magic without having to consciously use your powers to do so."

Wizard!Herbert: "Huh, really?"

Wizard!Tagg: (nods) "It may also be used to determine how strong an opponent is, if only based on their magical strength."

Wizard!Herbert: "Hmm... I see." (using his powers to check Tagg's aura) "Your powers are pretty similar to mine, aren't they? Except... yours is much stronger. Will my magic be as strong as yours if I keep training?"

Wizard!Tagg: (shrugs) "I don't know. It is difficult to tell what your magical potential is."

Wizard!Herbert: "Oh."

Wizard!Tagg: "For now, let's try to work on building up that sixth sense."

In the meantime, Lillith and Ammy were talking about stuff, getting to know each other better.

Adventurer!Lillith: "So, this friend of yours... Is he cute?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (tilts head) "Why do you want to know...?"

Adventurer!Lillith: (shrugs) "Just curious what he's like."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "... Shouldn't you ask about his personality instead of his looks, then? What is up with that, anyways? Appearances aren't everything, you know!"

Adventurer!Lillith: (smirks) "Ooh, is there anything going on between the two of you?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (blushes slightly) "Oh? Um... Well, actually-"

???: (in the distance) "Ha! Is that the best you've got!?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Huh? What was that?"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Hmm... I don't know. Let's check it out!" (to Familiar!Muddy) "You too, come on!"

And so, the two girls and the Swampert went to investigate the sound. What will they find, and how will the magic lessons go?

Episode 5
* Filler, more Wizard training.
* The group is attacked by hypnotized wild Pokémon of the forest.
* The group undo the spell on the wild Pokémon, and travel to a different location.

Episode 6
* Tagg has wandered off somewhere, instead of waiting for him to get back, Herbert decides to find out where he went and somehow he and the girls end up getting involved in wacky hi-jinks when the talking Bisharp from episode 4 returns and drags them along on a treasure hunt.
* The Bisharp discovers that somebody else already found the treasure he was looking for, much to his frustration.
* The group get into another fight, and manage to hold their own until Tagg arrives to finish things off.
* Tagg doesn't go into detail of where he was for most of the episode, but the existance of the secret wizard's guild he is a member of is further hinted at.

Episode 7
* Ammy befriends a Joltik that claims to have seen someone matching the description of her friend in the area recently, and gives her an idea of where to look for him.
* Lillith asks a fortune teller for advice on where to find love, but the fortune teller only gives a vague, cryptic warning directed at either Herbert or Tagg, much to Lillith's frustration.
* At the end of the episode, the fortune teller is shown watching the four of them leave. Her hood is pulled down, revealing her identity to the viewers as Psyche.

- DS looks over the summaries of the episodes, tapping the pencil against the notebook -

DS: "Hmm... What should happen next...?"

After fighting off enemies and meeting up with Queen Lyuri, our heroes venture deeper into the maze where the captured guard is kept hostage.

Queen Lyuri: "I hope they haven't hurt him too badly..."

Adventurer!Lillith: (shrugs) "Well, your sister has some pretty strong healing powers, doesn't she?"

Queen Lyuri: "Yes, but I wouldn't want him to be badly hurt or anything... Listen, are you sure you guys are up for this? I mean, Tagg seems pretty strong, but the rest of you..."

Wizard!Herbert: (crosses arms) "Hey, I may not have as much experience as Tagg, but I am getting better at this!"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (nods) "And I'm pretty tough too! Don't let the small size of my fairy size fool you!"

Adventurer!Lillith: "And I'm... um..."

Queen Lyuri: (nods) "Okay, okay... Let's just get in there and rescue him."

After rescuing Duke, our heroes have returned to Princess Sakura. While still in the area, Herbert decides to take the oppurtunity to ask Duke to teach him some of the battle moves he used during the previous battle, while Tagg and Ammy try to figure out where to go next. As for Lillith...

Adventurer!Lillith: (sighs) "I'm not much help when I'm the only one without any magical powers, am I?"

While sitting on a rock, pondering how she is helpful to the group, an Umbreon walks up to Lillith.

Adventurer!Lillith: (notices the Umbreon) "Oh, hey there." (pets the Umbreon) "Ever felt like... you're just not contributing as much to a team as your friends? Like you're just not all that much of a help, even when you try?"

The Umbreon tilts its head at Lillith, before beginning to run off, glancing back at Lillith as if telling her to follow. Lillith gets up, and follows the Umbreon. Eventually, she comes across several other Eeveelutions watching a blue haired boy practice his archery skills.

Adventurer!Lillith: (to the Umbreon) "Friend of yours?"

Lillith walks up to the boy, watching as he successfully hits the target with one of his arrows.

Adventurer!Lillith: "Ooh, nice shot!"

Archer!Forte: (startled) "Gah!" (turns around to look at Lillith) "Hey, don't sneak up on people like that!"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Sorry!" (walks up to him) "Hi, I'm Lillith."

Archer!Forte: (shrugs) "Nice to meet you, I guess. I'm Mezzoforte, but you can just call me "Forte" for short." (crosses arms) "I would've gone with "Mezzo", but my older sister already got dibs on that one."

Adventurer!Lillith: "So... You're like, good with the bow and arrow?"

Archer!Forte: "Uh-huh. You see, I'm the only one of my siblings who doesn't have any magical powers, which by the way, is really unfair!"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Huh... Go on."

Archer!Forte: (pets an Espeon) "So, my Espeon friend here suggested that instead of whining about that, even though I wasn't whining, that I learn another skill to make up for my lack of magic."

Adventurer!Lillith: "Hmm... I see... Maybe I should do that too?"

Archer!Forte: "Oh?"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Well, you see... I'm travelling with some other guys, and I'm the only one who doesn't have any magical powers, so I was just wondering just how I could be more useful and stuff..."

Archer!Forte: "Hmm... Let's try thinking of something you might be able to do, then."

Adventurer!Lillith: "Oh, really? Um... Thanks!" (looks around at the Eeveelutions) "Also..." (pets the Umbreon from earlier) "Are there all friends of yours?"

Archer!Forte: (nods) "Yep! Eeveelutions are pretty amazing, don't you think?"

Adventurer!Lillith: (giggles) "I guess they are."

So, when we last saw our heroes and stuff, some things happened and... yeah. Things definitely happened. Anyways, in today's episode, some bad guy has realized an evil monster that feeds on magic, oh no! What will our heroes do?

Wizard!Tagg: "Grr... It keeps eating my spells, no matter what I throw at it!"

Wizard!Herbert: "Oh, whatever shall we do?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Oh, look! Lillith's here! Yay! She'll save us!"

Wizard!Tagg: "Lillith, you must do something! You're the only one of us without magical powers, and thus the only one pretty and strong enough to beat it!"

Adventurer!Lillith: (nods) "I'm on it! You can count on me!"

And then Lillith beat up the monster with all her awesomeness, and then it was defeated.

Adventurer!Lillith: "Yay! I saved the day!"

Wizard!Tagg: (nods) "You certainly did, Lillith."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "If it weren't for you, that thing might've drained us of all our magic!"

Wizard!Herbert: "You are so awesome!"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Aww, thanks guys!"

And then the day was saved, and everyone was happy! But, who sent the magic draining beast after them in the first place? And then dramatic music plays before we cut to the credits...

Even with their combined power, the army of ghost Pokémon that had suddenly attacked the village were proving to be difficult to take down.

Adventurer!Lillith: (running from a ghost) "Eek!"

The ghost is suddenly hit with a blast of obscura, and Lillith turns to see a certain Bisharp.

Adventurer!Lillith: "Oh, hey! It's you again! What brings you here?"

Talking Bisharp: (shrugs) "Well, some travelling salesman tricked me into buying a potion that he claimed would change me back into a human, but all it did was make my armor glow in the dark, so I figured I'd come back here and set the cart from which he sells his merchandise on fire. However, I couldn't find the guy, and then these ghosts showed up, and... that's about it."

Adventurer!Lillith: (looks at him) "You don't look any different."

Talking Bisharp: "Well, it's still light outside, you probably wouldn't see anything until it gets dark."

Adventurer!Lillith: "Oh."

Talking Bisharp: (sighs) "I just hope it wears off soon, I mean, it looks cool, but it kind of makes it difficult to sneak up on people during the night, you know?"

Meanwhile, Tagg and his Swampert familiar are trying to fight off several ghosts that have surrounded Herbert and Ammy. Tagg is soon joined by the other members of the wizard's guild.

Wizard!Tangent: (to his Tropius familiar) "Get those two out of there!"

The Tropius quickly flies over to Herbert and Ammy, and flies them out of there, while the wizards and the other familiars continue fighting off the ghosts.

Wizard!Herbert: (while on the Tropius' back) "Hmm... I wonder if we can get a better look at how many ghosts there are from up here..."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (pets Familiar!Basket) "Thanks for helping us, miss Tropius!" (notices a mysterious figure seemingly watching over the chaos) "Huh?"

The fight goes on, until the ghosts finally retreat.

Adventurer!Lillith: (relieved sigh) "I guess it's over..."

Wizard!Herbert: "Yeah... I wonder why the ghosts suddenly attacked like that, though... Were they being controlled by someone?"

Ammy is about to say something, when the group suddenly notice the mysterious person from earlier.

???: (snickers) "Hehe... You did really well with that fight."

Wizard!Herbert: (glares at the mysterious man) "And you are?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Wait a minute..." (smiles, cheerfully flying up to the man and switching into her human form) "Umbra! Where have you been? I was worried about-" (trails off as she notices something doesn't seem right about her friend) "U-Umbra?"

Magic Knight!Umbra(?): "I do wonder how long you guys could've kept this up had I not called the ghosts back... We should do this again sometime." (smirks) "But for now, I have other things to do." (vanishes)

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Wha-"

Wizard!Herbert: "So, that was that friend of yours that you've been talking about?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "H-He's not normally like this!"

Wizard!Tagg: (thinks for a moment) "Hmm... There was certainly something strange about his aura..."

Adventurer!Lillith: "Something strange? So, he's like, under a spell or something?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (nods) "Yes! That has to be it! Someone must be controlling him!"

Wizard!Herbert: (shrugs) "Are you sure about that? For all we know, he could've just gone mad with power or something since the last time you saw him."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (glares at Herbert)

Wizard!Herbert: "... So, I guess that means we're sticking with the "he's under a spell" theory?"

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (nods) "Come on, guys! We need to find out what happened to him, and how to get him back to normal!"

Adventurer!Lillith: (grins) "I'm with you, Ammy! Let's save him!"

And so, Ammy is determined to save Umbra, but does he really need rescuing? And is he really being controlled by someone, or is there another explanation for his behaviour?

When we last saw our heroes, the battle against Umbra took an unexpected turn when another Umbra showed up. However, the first Umbra managed to escape, and now our heroes are attempting to find out from the second Umbra what is going on. But why did the talking Bisharp show up during the fight?

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (hugging Umbra) "I am so glad you're not really evil!"

Adventurer!Lillith: "But, what was up with there being another you, anyways? And apparently, you've met this Bisharp before?"

Magic Knight!Umbra: (sighs) "Well, I guess I should explain what's been going on... You see, I'd recently been having these nightmares where I ended up turning on my allies, and... I guess it kind of got to me, and I wanted to make sure that it couldn't happen..."

Flashback

Umbra is preparing to cast a spell on himself, although a Sableye and a Chandelure are looking over the spell book, seeming a bit concerned.

Sableye: <Hmm... I'm not too sure about this spell...>

Chandelure: <Me neither...> (points to the translation of the spell) <It says that this spell is for removing darkness from your soul, but...> (pointing to a word on the translated part and then the corresponding part that's in whatever original language the spell was written in) <This part was translated as "purification"... but that's not what this word means...>

Sableye: <Eh!? You mean the spell might not be translated right?> (runs over to Umbra) <Umbra, I don't think you should do this!>

Magic Knight!Umbra: "Hm?"

Sableye: <We don't even know if the spell will do what it says it does, even if you cast is correctly, so maybe we shouldn't do this!>

Magic Knight!Umbra: "Really...?" (thinks about it for a moment) "Still... I want to at least try..."

Sableye: <No! Why would you do that?> (glances at the spell book) <Is that spell book of the "controls people" variety?> (runs over to the book and kicks it) <Take that!>

End flashback

Wizard!Herbert: (sighs) "And let me guess... Despite every warning sign that this was a bad idea, you went ahead and cast the spell anyways."

Magic Knight!Umbra: (looks down sheepishly) "Yeah... I admit I probably wasn't thinking clearly that time... and now there's an evil version of me running around..."

Wizard!Tagg: (shakes head) "Well, hopefully this has taught you not to mess with magical spells unless you know exactly what they do. And even then, it might be a good idea to leave the spells alone."

Magic Knight!Umbra: (nods) "Yes, I won't be making that mistake again..." (pulls out a scroll) "Luckily, my Chandelure friend was able to help me translate another spell in that book that I can use to re-absorb that evil version of me, but unfortunatly, I haven't been able to get close enough or keep him trapped long enough for me to actually use it. So far, most of our confrontations have ended in a draw, with him escaping..."

Wizard!Tagg: "So, I guess that means you two are at about equal strength?"

Adventurer!Lillith: "Hey, I see what's going on and all, but..." (points to the talking Bisharp) "What does any of this have to do with this guy?"

Talking Bisharp: "Yeah! Tell them about that!"

Magic Knight!Umbra: (sighs) "You're that guy that the evil version of me cursed in order to distract me during one of my duels with him, aren't you?"

Talking Bisharp: (nods) "Correct." (moves a bit closer to Umbra) "So... Since spells are easier to undo by the person who cast them in the first place, then you might be able to change me back to normal?"

Magic Knight!Umbra: "I'd really like to, but... I'm afraid I don't know exactly what the other me did, so I wouldn't know how to undo it..."

Talking Bisharp: "... So, mind if I join you in your next confrontation with him? I have a few things I'd like to say to him... while I'm beating him up."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "We will help you too!" (grins) "Even if you can't stop the evil version of you on your own, if the rest of us help, you should be able to capture and use that spell, right?"

Magic Knight!Umbra: (smiles) "Thank you, Ammy."

Wizard!Tagg: "Okay, then. Let's come up with a plan for how to catch this guy."

Wizard!Herbert: (aside, to Lillith) "Not that I don't want to help, but why did she have to volunteer all of us to help him fix his mistake?"

Adventurer!Lillith: (blinks) "Hmm? Oh, sorry. I was just wondering what exactly became of that spell book..."

Wizard!Herbert: "... Easily distracted, aren't you?"

Meanwhile...

The Chandelure is working on making more accurate translations of the rest of the spells in the book.

Chandelure: <All right, when I'm done with this, hopefully it should avert any future disasters.>

Sableye: <I still want to throw that book off of a cliff, you know.>

- Characters not using real names = A wizard superstition of sorts that someone knowing ones true name may make one more vulnerable to certain spells?

- Five magic orbs, hidden in five different places, guarded by the rulers of the various kingdoms.

* The orb hidden within the enchanted forest, guarded by Queen Lyuri and Princess Sakura. Its power keeps the kingdom safe, although its exact purpose is yet to be determined. May grant Duke the Lucario his human form later in the series.

* The orb guarded by Princess Sierra, Keeps a nearby volcano under control.

* The orb guarded by Arika the mermaid queen. Powers the magical jewelry worn by the mermaids that allow them to transform into humans.

* The orb guarded by Diane, also known as the queen of birds, powers the magical charms the people of the floating island use to transform into their flying type Pokémon forms.

* The orb guarded by Prince Wolf of the ice lands. Haven't yet figured out what it does.

What do the orbs do when gathered together + why the villains want them: ?

- DS taps the tip of the pencil against the paper of the notebook, trying to think of something -

Lillith: (walks over, is eating a candy bar) Working on the thing?

Yeah, sort of. I'm taking some notes to see if I can get a better idea of I'm going with some of this...

Lillith: (nods) I see.

- DS continues looking over and making some more notes -

- Other powerful magical artifacts aside from the five orbs include three magic scrolls containing ancient, powerful magic. To begin with, all three are guarded by Lady DS, but she later gives one of them to Tagg the wizard

- Which characters understand Pokémon?

* Magical beings and other people with at least some magic can naturally understand Pokémon, while regular humans need to learn by other means.

* Lillith is the only member of the main cast who at the beginning can't understand Pokémon. This includes only being able to understand characters who have a human and a Pokémon form they can switch between when they are in human form. She may later gain the ability somehow.

Our heroes continue exploring, and their magic lessons, while searching for someone who can help them find some answers from the weapon piece. What new friends will they make on the way?

Adventurer!Lillith: (staring up at something) "Hmm... That doesn't look like a very comfortable place to sleep..."

The other three members of the group walk over.

Wizard!Herbert: "What are you looking at, Lillith?"

They look up to see a blue haired girl asleep in one of the trees.

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Huh, I wonder who that is?"

Adventurer!Lillith: (shrugs) "I dunno." (tilts head) "But I think there's something fishy about her."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Oh?"

Adventurer!Lillith: (nods) "Yeah, but not necessarily that she's one of the bad guys, though."

Wizard!Herbert: (tilts head) "I don't know... She looks like any normal girl that likes to take naps in trees to me."

Adventurer!Lillith: (nods) "Maybe... Or she could be some kind of were-Pokémon."

Wizard!Herbert: "... Were-Pokémon?"

Adventurer!Lillith: "... What? You never know!"

The girl in the tree slowly opens her eyes, and glances down, being somewhat startled upon noticing the group of adventurers and falling out of the tree. Luckily, Tagg manages to catch her before she hits the ground.

Mysterious girl: (blinks a few times, before smiling at Tagg) "Hey, nice catch!"

Wizard!Tagg: "Um... Thanks." (puts the girl down) "You okay?"

Mysterious girl: (nods) "Yeah, I'm fine. Wasn't expecting to see anyone out here, though."

Adventurer!Lillith: "So, are you a were-Pokémon or something?"

Mysterious girl: (chuckles) "That's an unusual question to ask someone you just met." (shakes head) "Nah, I'm not a were-Pokémon."

Adventurer!Lillith: "... Oh."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: (flies over to Lillith's shoulder) "Hey, don't feel bad. Maybe we'll get to meet a were-Pokémon some other time!"

Wizard!Herbert: (mutters under his breath) "Preferrebly one that won't eat us..."

Our heroes are gathering supplies as they prepare to travel over to the ice lands, as the other wizards in the secret wizard guild have shared some recently obtained info with Tagg regarding a person who may be able to help them learn more about where the weapon piece came from, and who the enemy is.

Adventurer!Lillith: "So, remind me again why we need to make a trip to like, a really cold place?"

Wizard!Tagg: "Apparently, someone known by the name of DS lives somewhere in the colder parts of this land, and her powers may help us find out what we need to know."

Wizard!Herbert: "Suppose that's who Psyche was talking about, then..."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Hmm... I wonder if my powers will be enough to keep me warm while we're exploring the ice lands?"

Our heroes continue their journey, making their way through the snowy area as they hope to reach the ice castle.

Wizard!Tagg: "..." (looks around)

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Something wrong?"

Wizard!Tagg: "I get the feeling someone is... watching us..."

Sun Fairy!Ammy: "Oh?"

Wizard!Herbert: (noticing a Sneasel watching them from a tree) "Relax, the only one watching us here is that Sneasel over there."

Adventurer!Lillith: "Huh. Maybe it's hungry?"

The Sneasel: (realizes she's been spotted, and quickly makes her way down from the tree and runs off)

Adventurer!Lillith: "... Did we scare it off?"

Wizard!Herbert: "Well, let's just keep moving."

The group continue moving forward, the Sneasel peeks out from behind some bushes, curiously watching.

The Sneasel: (tilts head) <Hmm... They don't seem like bad people...>

The Sneasel continues following them.
