Kreuger nod and then the ship started to head back to Cershestin, passing the forest that Vincent, Mara and the magician's fought in. Obviously he had no idea that the fight took place and couldn't care more. The scientist watched the footage he had collected from the drone. He felt satisfied.

He checked on his burnt drone that was still in the meeting room through his control panel. He couldn't see through the drone but he definitely heard conversation, a familiar voice, the magician guide and someone else. He decided to record the audio as you never know how valuable those can be.

Everything happens so fast, Varsha was about to chase after the arch magician when he ran for the window but he was dead before she had reached him, a figure then appeared on the window and jump into the room. As soon as she saw the face she immediately realized it was Vincent, the assassin. Before she even got to do anything she noticed that the magic energy around them was changing, a circle was formed around her and Vincent’s feet. A magic barrier ‘What a cheap trick’ Varsha thought.
When she was about to draw out her magic weapon, the assassin then start to speak and negotiate with the magician, the tone of his voice was angelic to the point that she’s starting to melt, but this is not the time to think about that stuff, she brought herself back to the present and calmed her mind.
It seemed like Vincent negotiation when well and the magician let him out. Once his foot left the magic circle he broke the barrier and picked Varsha with her in his arm and jumped through the window. ”What are you doing?” Varsha was still shocked by everything that happened. She squirmed around, trying to get down.
Once they were out of the palace and now back on the field. Vincent let her down on, she stood up on her own feet. She was still blushing from the sudden action, the man then raised his hand to her cheek and hold her face in his palm.

Wissian tucked the bullets safely into his pocket, figuring he should explore a bit more. There could have been more bullets on the forest floor——more evidence to take to Cynthia.
He heard voices not too far away, voices that seemed oddly familiar. Hiding behind a behind a tree, he peered around the corner to find a man and woman stood talking. One of them, the man, looked to have some unfamiliar weapons on him. The assassin??

——————————————————

Maerda clambered back down from the treetops, jumping down into streets where the corpse of her officer lay. The crowd of people made way for her, all of them starting to panic. The Queen knelt down beside to body, taking one of the pins from her hair and jabbing it beside the bullet in the officer’s head. It came loose enough for her to be able to take out cleanly. It was unlike anything she had seen before. A large group of officers rushed to her, standing in waiting for her orders.

Maerda rose, finding a ledge to stand on. She scanned over the crowd, a firm look in her eyes. Everything fell silent.
“We are at war with the technological kingdom, Cershestin. Peace has been our practice for many years, but in these dark times it becomes impossible to follow that path. I ask that the bravest and strongest of you come forward, as your duty as part of this kingdom, to protect it. Protect this kingdom and it’s people. I can not guarantee your safety, but if we do not fight back, no one will be safe.”

’What is happening’ Varsha couldn’t even think straight anymore, she looked up to the man, what a strange man, never has anyone made her felt this vulnerable before in her life. She has always been the strong-minded coolly composed woman, she needed to be the model of decisiveness to her queen, her young-master. At the moment her eyes meet Vincent’s, she couldn’t think of anything but him. She closed her eyes and her mouth suddenly from a kissing posture without her knowing it.

Valerie gave a nod to the sorceress and left the room quickly to find Galen and any arch magician. She was still in shock over what happened, or the fact that the sorceress knew the other man. The assassin from Cershestin she supposed. She gathered who she could sending them to the sorceress before heading to the medical wing.

When Maerda spoke, some individuals stepped up. Most were younglings, none looked older than 30 years old though that was to be expected. Some gave a prideful smile when they stepped forward.
”For Atruxiavir, we will fight…” one of them spoke up as the others who stepped forth cheered.

Vincent was not prepared for something as subtle as that. He was not ready nor did he really know what that sort of action was. However… he felt a warm sensation when Varsha did it. If anything, he wanted to continue.
He placed one hand behind Varsha’s neck to pull her in closer while his other hand rested on her waist. He did, though, give the man behind the tree and quick glance before shrugging it off as just something not worth mentioning. It would only break the moment. He closed his eyes, experiencing the moment to its fullest.

(No peeking Wissian XP)

Wissian caught the man’s glance, his face immediately flushing. He took a pocket watch from out of his sleeve, turning a few of the dials. “Time rewinds while I remain.. I always find this fascinating.”
The world around all three of the figures in the forest began to shift backwards a bit, though Wissian himself remained in place. “Take me back to just before the woman began the kiss.”

(That’s all I have for now as I’m going to work. I will try and respond on my break)

(And my baby boi’s bi, he’s gonna be so confused with his sexuality ;~;)

Not entirely sure what had happened, it all felt like deja vu. Vincent had one hand on Varsha’s cheek and was looking at her.
”Are you alright?” he had asked. Again, he felt like he had done this before but he couldn’t remember the details.

(Ehehehe)

Wissian froze the space around himself and the man. He was convinced that this guy was the assassin—the owner of the bullets. Only himself and the “assassin” would be able to speak or move.
He came out of hiding, almost hesitantly. “She’s fine, don’t worry about her.”

(Oh right)

As Valerie would make her way down the medical wing, she would come across one of the other arch magicians. This one, named andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), was undoubtedly one of the stronger arch magicians. He walked out with his signature blue butterfly on his index finger.

Vincent was confused at first before he saw the pocket watch.
”A time manipulator…?” the assassin whispered to himself. He glanced around and realized that he was probably right.
”State your name and want…” the man nearly unsheathed his blade but decided to listen first. After all, the sniper on his back should be enough to intimidate the magician.

(Damn, I leave for a few hours and come back to two freaking pages of stuff that I missed!)

Mara rolled her eyes as the assassin left, following at a distance. He was probably trying to be subtle, but the bullet hadn't been very quiet.

She felt her blood thrumming in her bones, at the thought of the fight. Wiping blood from her face, she headed to the castle walls, splitting up from Vincent as soon as she could. He could be so bossy. As she slid to a tree overhanging the area, she pulled herself up easily to perch atop the wall, and surveyed the area.

"Now where are you, little magicians," she sang quietly, sounding haunted and slightly insane. This is what fighting did to her. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

Then, she spotted movement, and, looking closer at it, recognized the figure of Vincent, practically eating someone's face. The uniform of the person wasn't from Cershestin, in fact, it almost seemed as if she was from… but no, Vincent wouldn't…

She gagged in sudden disgust, her stomach roiling with disgust and rage. Had he betrayed her? Why was he associating with an Atruxiavir, of all people. Would she have to get a new assassin? Probably. She couldn't let him know, though, that she had seen him. Or maybe she should, to publicly humiliate him.

Her counselors were right, she reflected sadly. He really was no good, and she should let him go. Mark him as a traitor to the crown. Closing her eyes to hold back tears of sudden sadness at the thought, she took a deep breath. "Hail and farewell, my friend," she whispered quietly, tears sliding unnoticed down her cheeks. You have done me a great service, and for that I thank you." With that, she stood, silhouetted for a moment against the bright sky, before she tapped her mouthpiece.

"Vincent has betrayed us," she said emotionlessly, to her counselors at the other end. "Kill him on sight. And prepare for war. Real war. We are going to eliminate Atruxiavir"

Kreuger listened through his badge, hearing his princess's words of Vincent. He knew this voice of hers, it was the voice that had gotten his best scientist killed once. He cut off his radio badge and kept quiet as he continue his journey back to Cershestin.

Soon enough, the ship started to descend. It flies into an open socket in a small tower which connects right into the lab. The scientist retrieved the video and audio files and head back into his working space.

Phoenix listened to the princess and went still. She stood up and began making her way towards the scientist tower. Maybe Krueger knew what had happened. She had heard the chilling voice before, but never directed at the assassin. She spoke into the mouth piece slowly as she made her way, "Are you sure you aren't being rash? It could be one of his misunderstandings again your highness. You know those happen quite often."

(Holy shit… why does everyone seem to want Vincent…)

Vincent hadn’t had his earpiece in so he didn’t exactly hear what the Princess said about him. However… the time sphere that he was being kept in was still and motionless.
”Oi… time mage… are you just gonna stand there…? If so, can you let me go? I need to return to my kingdom…” the assassin mentioned.

"Because," Mara said bitterly, jumping down from the top of the wall, and turning back for the castle. "I just saw him associating with a royal guard from Atruxiavir. I know what I saw."

When she got back to the castle, she immediately washed up and changed into her ''queen clothes,'' which were clothes that made her look more intimidating, and made her seem more of the Crown Princess that she really was. It was the perfect outfit for intimidation.
