General Notes.
>Who are you?
You are Kouga, one of the brave soldiers that fight for the love and peace of the world, a Saint. You were raised in the Sanctuary by your Master Integra and under the tutelage of the Witch of Darkness Medea. The Sanctuary considers you a prized soldier because you were born under the blessing of a Dark God, who hopes to use you as his dark messiah to destroy the world of light.

But you won’t have any of that… thus your main mission right now, besides being a Saint, is to find a way to make the darkness you wield yours and find a way to stop the Dark God from possessing you again.

>What are you doing right now?
Of to Paris you go!

>How do your powers work?
Generally you have two elemental powers, the first are your electrical powers, which sadly over the years you have neglected. They serve as your primary ranged damage source and they have a low chance of stunning the enemy.

Then you have your Darkness Type Moves, which are used through Evil Right, generally you obtain some dice bonuses and DC bonuses depending on the type of attack used and when Evil Right is equipped you can use Curses and Witchcraft without having to waste a turn to prepare them.

In general Kouga build resulted in you having weaker physical capabilities, and in turn you should use things like Elemental advantages and Curses to even the field.

>What is the elemental wheel?
Certain Elements beat others, the general idea is that if you use a super effective move on an enemy, you deal extra damage and will have an easier time rolling, the end. Some elements beat the weaker, generally it goes,
Wind > Elec > Earth > Water > Fire (> Wind.)
With Darkness > Light (>Darkness)

>Then what is an attack type clash?
Generally speaking attacks can be classified in three types, the first are Strikes, which are precise speedy attacks, and the second are the Guards attacks, which are iron tight defensive maneuvers, with Crashes being the third type which are powerful moves that exist to overwhelm the opponent.

These three attack types have a triangle relationship, in which Crash>Guard>Strike (>Crash). When you use an attack that beats the attack of your opponent, you gain an advantage, which translates in some extra DC bonuses.

>What is the DS thing in the Stat Sheet?
It’s how much influence the source of Evil Right has over you, the higher it is… well you guys know how these things generally go, right?

>Why didn’t you include X option in the choices?
Most of the time I just write what comes first to mind. If you want to do something else, have a different idea or want to use one of the skills not listed, then use the Other Option. It’s there for a reason.

>Have there been any changes to skills?
Yes, thinking of changing the DC system to take into account enemy stats more… need to work it better.

Last of all, you all can ask me questions, if you want to know how something works or what does a skill do, just ask. A QM is here to answer your questions.

Paris, the city of light and one of the greatest capitals of the world, you have heard from Master that this city is one of the largest cultural centers of the world, home to countless museums, theaters, monuments and galleries. Basically, she said, one of the cities you must protect as a Saint.

But sadly, you hate to admit, sadly you hate Paris. The City is too big, the roads are too congested and the cars are too loud, and people are rude. Plus these barbarians don’t speak a civilized language.

Haven’t they heard of Greek or Italian? At least even English would have been tolerable, but everytime you try to speak with someone in this damned city, they just stare at you and laugh or they do silly signs at you. Plus they are always smoking… and you hate that.

So yeah, you feel these Parisian guys are horrible people.

Your name is Kouga, the Saint of Black Pegasus, and you feel you are starting to hate Paris and the infernal assholes that live here, but at least the coffee here is actually really good, and that was the only reason you haven’t wiped this city off the maps.

But to be fair, you should get angry with Eden first for getting Versa and you lost in the first place. Your boat trip to France had been peachy, nothing came wrong, you didn’t get attacked when you disembarked at the port, and your train ride was comfortable, but when you got to France, disaster struck!

Versa (Black Tarantula), Eden and you got lost in this infernally blasted city, and you blame Eden! As the only one who speaks French, Eden was the one in charge of guiding your team… but sadly the stubborn idiot can’t get the right street and has spent your whole morning leading you in a while goose chase all over this stupid city! To make things even more horrible, the prince of Mars just refuses to ask anyone for some directions, until you kicked him in the butt and forced him! (Then again people here are assholes, so he might not be at fault for that).

At least Versa enjoyed wandering around the city for half a day, and is now playing with some pigeons in a nearby park. She looks like she is having a good time (and that sadly reminds you that the homunculus probably never has done something like this before.)

But who cares, now the son of Mars is searching for the right address some place or another, while you sit down and drink a nice cup of coffee. Even if you don’t speak French, the dollar is universal.

But your cup is running out, so maybe you should do something else, like what exactly?
>Just drink another cup, that’s what hip people do in Paris, right?
>Go bother Eden, you have to make sure he gets the address right this time. You also want to call him an idiot again!
>Go play with Black Tarantula, you need to get some stress off.
>Go and see some sights, maybe you can make a new friend while you wait.
>Other?

Sorry for starting this out a bit late, the Wise UP will have to wait a bit, still working on it.

>>33968803
Wise Up: The Church and the Power of Light.

What can I say about those jerks, I mean by now you should know that I dislike them, so why do you expect me to tell you anything objective, Kouga?

Ah… okay, I will try to be nice. The Members of the Church are the followers of that God, the one who rules over order and enforces it like the tyrant he is, but in a way they are not that bad. They are followers who believe in the order that system represents, and can be decent people once in a while.

Having freedom sadly also means to be free to make bad choices, but enough about that, I think you want to know more about what the men of the church can do to you, right?

The Clerics of the Holy Church have a dominion over the element of light, which is powered by the faith (FTH) that they have in their so-called one and true god. By entering a covenant with their god of order, they have been blessed by him with miracles, just like the ones in that holy book.

Things like healing the sick, shielding the weak, and smiting the wicked, you probably could expect a strong and faithful cleric to be able to do all that while wielding the element of light that is so poisonous to us the denizens of the Underworld. That’s why the Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament trains these exorcists to fight the enemies of the church and their stupid god.

Like most mages who use the power of light and darkness, these clerics obtain their authority over the light by entering a contract with the god they serve, which allows them to use miracles in his name to carry his will in this world of light.

Most Gods do something similar with their servants, forming contract with the faithful who follow them and in turn giving them some powerful skills/spells [the miracles] which normal humans would not normally obtain. In a way, you could see it as an incentive to try and serve one of the gods.

Still, Kouga, you should avoid confronting an experienced exorcist from the Church, to you who uses the power of darkness, these Holy Paladins are your worse enemies. So consider running away, in your options if things go badly. Even worse if you face an angel...

Just don’t be afraid to run away, k. As long as you keep yourself alive, then you might have a chance to win eventually, but if you die, that's the end of everything!

>>33969408
Wise Up: Messenger of Water.
Her name is Gabriel, she is a bitch and you probably should avoid her. Also she probably won't try to do anything directly to you... she is not that stupid. But try to be careful, Kouga.

That bitch loves tricking people.

Well since you have nothing better to do, you just walk to the park where Versa is playing. Your fellow Black Saint carries a small bag of seeds in her hand which she uses to play around with the small birds around her, almost like if she is trying to make the birds chase after her. As she spins around, she dances with the pigeons following after her, and it almost looks…
Very fun!
So you want to try it too, “Hey Versa, please give me some of those seeds!” You almost feel bad interrupting Black Tarantula’s fun, but you feel like you want to do that too!

But Versa doesn’t seem to mind, and she happily walks right besides you, “I see, so you also have learned to appreciate the beauty of these majestic creatures, Kogua! I am glad you understand that! Then I will be glad to help you share some food with them!”

You are not sure you get what Versa is saying, but who cares, your friend kindly gives you a handful of seeds, and then you wonder, “Wait, how did you get this anyway, you didn’t steel it right?” Did Black Tarantula even know what money is?

“Kouga, I simply exchanged the local currency with a local merchant, under the law of Equivalent Exchange. Even someone like me understands the method to use currency to facilitate the methods of capitalism, why Kouga, do you need help to perform a transaction. The Language barrier is something quite difficult to surpass, but money always finds a way, or at least I understand it like that.” Sorry, sorry, sorry, I am sorry I doubted you, just don’t look at me like that Versa.

Don’t give me that pitiful eye that would make me feel bad. I promise to not doubt you again, oh great alchemist! I will never doubt you, so don't make those sad eyes!

So, you have a bag of seeds, so you seat under a tree (it’s too hot to move a lot) and try feeding the birds… “Kuku…” Ah, this feels somewhat calming, you can see why people do this. Maybe the city is not the bad, after all… any city were birds like these can live can't be that bad.

And then you hear someone laughing at you, and the illusion of happiness you had shatters, and once again you hate the place.

People here are evil! Sadly that's the truth... even the birds can't make up for their shitty attitude.

But you can’t play around all day, you have to get moving, sadly Eden is taking too long, and you don’t have any idea where the idiot prince got himself lost… so what should you do.

>Keep feeding the birds! Find that happy place again!
>To hell with it being hot! Play with Versa, let’s see who gets the more birds to follow them!
>Ah just take a break, and wait for the stupid Eden.
>Try to see some of the sights, you are in Paris after all, the city can’t be that bad. [Special Encounter]
>Go look for Eden.
>Ask Black Tarantula to rest besides you under the tree, you want to talk with her.
>Other?

Okay, time to see some nice sights, “Versa want to explore a bit more? Eden can catch up later!” A nod later and you were on your way. It’s not like you want to leave Eden behind, but you just simply feel tired of just doing nothing in this stupid city, so time to sight-see.

If you remember correctly, it should be somewhere around here… turning a corner around you find public square with two fountains you had spied on your way to the park where Eden left you. “Versa, come and see this, I think you will enjoy it!”

The place was called the Place de la Concorde, which was located at the center of Paris, but to be honest you are not here for the square. You just want to show Versa the twin fountains here, “These two fountains Versa are called the Fountains de la Concorde, and they represent the power that sea commerce and navigation brought to this country because the French Naval ministry.” You continue talking about the two fountains, the designed and eventually get Versa interested in them.

You speak of how this park had been named after an evil king, and the turbulent history of this city, just setting something up.

It’s not that you really care about it, but you learned to memorize the things you read after being from being a witch, and the Café you sat in had a nice tour guide in a civilized language (that being Spanish). You have to admit that showing off a bit felt good!

But all of this has a purpose, “But that leads to the most important thing, after the evil king was killed everyone added a new tradition, they would take a coin and they throw it in the fountain, symbolizing the power to create miracles!” Now you just have to get Versa to make a wish in the fountain, and you are sure this will be a nice memory for your fellow Saint.

Yes, all of this was a complicated plan to introduce your friend to fountains… but sadly it didn’t work, because before you could give Versa the coin, a soft male voice interrupts you, speaking in perfect Greek.

“Excuse me, but I find myself having a quandary and I feel I must ask you... are you the type that lives while believing that there are no miracles in life, or are you the sort that believes that everything that happens is a miracle?” What?

>Don’t be stupid, there are no miracles in life! [In this world everything is already set, all that awaits is a grim future.]
>Yeah, every moment I am still living is a miracle! [The world is still filled with hope and light]
>Let BT answer.
>Just Nope, leave and run away. Creepy Voices!
>”Hey who are you?” [This guy is being rude!]
>Other?

>>33971042
Yeah, it looks that way, but I am sure the others will eventually come, also I have to say that this is the last time I bother using real world details this closely... it makes writing things too complicated!

Yeah, We are a saint and a mage that use light and darkness.

>>33971525

let's not discuss your beliefs with random strangers

>>33971547
it looks like you were right, people did appear

>>33971835
>>33971525
It less about discussing our belief but to state them.

What does Kouga believe in, a closer interaction and influence on kouga character.

>>33971780
>>33971835
Hehe, I know my players. To be honest, lately I have been noticing that players tend to come the later in the night to this quest, maybe it's due to everyone schedules...

>>33971856
This is what the choice means, state your beliefs or hide them, whatever you choose will tell of what sort of man Kouga is.

>>33971978
>>33971835
Hey, want to change your vote to determination due to the new information?

>>33971856
still I'm a little suspicious about him we are at enemy territory after all

>>33972014
if i have to change my vote it would change to
>Let BT answer.
as I would like to know where she stands on this

>>33972186
>>33971978
That would mean we let others decide what we believe in or we don't have anything to believe in.

We need some freaking foundation.

>>33972214
>>33972186
Just to clarify that means it shows all these things to the guy you are meeting now (and BT), that might be important or not right now, but little things sometimes pile up.

>>33972249
>>33972186
So are you gonna chance your vote prinny or not?

Because new people aren't coming. If you aren't, we might as well just trust in the dice/coin toss and get an update?

So what your choice Prinny?

Before you even try to answer, you simply turn around and face whoever was talking. The young man before you probably wasn’t older than sixteen, but he felt… regal and pure, like this boy was the perfect consummate gentleman.

You joke with Eden by calling him a prince, but the blond young man before you really feels the truest and most noble prince of one of the cheesy fantasy novels Master likes to read.

This guy really feels like he came from an era bygone, a time where the hearts of humans still had a pure hope and believed in a light that didn’t belong to any god, but that feeling only lasts for a mere second, and soon you ground yourself into reality and start thinking.

A part of you knows that this is suspicious as hell, this city is probably enemy territory, and you probably should let BT answer this guy while you checked for traps, but… you don’t want to run away from this guy. “Sorry, but Miracles don’t happen by themselves, they are born from people’s determination. With hard work and guys, eventually anyone can create a miracle!”

You say that line proudly and bravely, but after you finish saying it, you blush like an idiot! Really that sounds so childish!

But this guy just ignores how corny that sounds and smiles, “I see, that’s a great answer. A true gentleman should be the one who makes their own miracles happen with their own hands. I am glad that I asked you this question, as expected your answer is enlightening.” The gentleman gives you his hand, which you shake, “My name is Alfred, but you can call me Al, and I asked…”

But Al doesn’t finish, because someone very rude interrupts him, “I see so this must be what they call flirting… now I understand!” BT just suddenly starts talking, and you can only stare at her confusedly. But sending that you are lost, your nice friend comes to your rescue! “Kouga, this gentleman used that line to draw your attention with an amorous intention, in other words he wanted to flirt with you.

The Professor warned me of the sort of men who would use similar tactics to prey on the hearts of pure maidens, but I never expected that they would also resort to preying on members of the same sex.” What….?

Versa moves to shield you from Al as if she is a great knight of legend protecting a poor, defenseless princess from a terrible monster, “Do not worry Kouga, I will proceed to protect you from these predators who will try to flirt with you and steal your precious thing…”

In a surprising act of coordination, both you and the young man Al move to dissuade BT, while stammering and blushing about how that’s not how things words. What is the professor teaching this girl...

Still, you don’t have time to distract yourself, you have to focus on the matter at hand…what is really important is…

>To teach BT what flirting really is…
>To ask Al why he asked you that random question.
>To ask Al who he is… and why he came to the city.
>To ask Al the answer to the question he asked.
>To ask BT to give you her own answer.
>To just run away and meet Eden before this got any worse.
>Other?

No, you first have to correct BT’s misconceptions, “You are wrong, flirting is not something that is done between two men, it’s something done between a man and a woman, like this.” That’s not exactly right, but let’s keep things simple, and now the hard part.

Drawing into the inner Italian Dandy gene that you inherited from your home country you, you flick your wrist, presenting a small white flower to Versa, while speaking in the huskiest and most romantic voice you can muster (which is not that good), “Señorita, it appears I have been inexplicably drawn to your fair belleza!” You flick your head, to make your hair wave in a fabulous fashion while you use your cosmos to shine like the beautiful man you are, “No come, and I shall teach you the meaning of el amor…”

You pull Versa close to you, and carefully place the white lily in your hand in her hair, as you lean in, just a bit more and you can stop when she panics, but… she closes her eyes and leans in too, and soon … and you quickly pull back, just a bit more and… you would have done something that you couldn’t take back.

Blushing even redder than a tomato, you turn to the side and ask Versa, “What happened to protecting your maidenly heart from those who would prey on it, that’s not how this should work…” Why didn’t she pull back… and great your heart now won’t stop beating so hard.

This is not how romance should work.

“The Professor only warned me to avoid strangers with unknown intentions, but Kouga, you are my friend, so there is no need for me to worry, if it is you, there is no need to hesitate! Now come and finish teaching me what it means to flirt!” She says it so earnestly and with her eyes filled with her trust for you… that you simply blush even more.

It looks like the one who should be careful is you, because it looks like this girl might instead be the one who preys on your maidenly heart.

You don’t know what to say for a few moments, but thankfully Alfred comes to your rescue, like a true gentleman bro! “Miss BT, I feel that I want to hear your answer to the question I asked Kouga, do you believe in Miracles or no?”

Thank you noble brother that is probably French, even if I really hate the country, I will always remember your chivalry in my gentlemanly heart!

Versa just nods her head as she quickly answers, “There are not such things as miracles, and there are only variables that we still don’t understand regarding how the world works. But if an all-encompassing model of how the world work could be created, then the world could be understood perfectly. Things don’t happen due to a random chance. There are no coincidences…”

Al smiles sadly, but also nods his head, “The Laplace Demon eh… but I feel that sounds a bit sad, but you might not be wrong, what we call Miracles might be simply the facts we don’t understand, and all that we have is the result of a series of events we have no control over… but Miss, don’t dismiss the world so easily, what your friend said is not that wrong. Men can create their own miracles if they wish it hard enough.”

A man should create their own miracles… eh? You said that first, but Al makes it sound so noble… so gentlemanly.

But you have to recover control of the conversation, before BT gets even more dangerous for your maidenly heart.

Maybe you should…
>Ask Al why he asked you that question.
>Ask Al who he is and why he is in Paris!
>Ask Al his own answer to that question.

No, no, the way your heart is beating… the way she is making you feel, you think you know what you should do, grabbing Versa by the shoulders, you meet her eyes and lean in. “Versa, this is how it should be done, so you better learn this… once.”

It should be easy, just lean in a bit more… and… and… the way your heat is beating, that fire you feel, it means this is right… but… you can’t do it… you simply feel scared. So you return to your normal position, and meet BT’s confused eyes.

“Eh… eh… your idea of flirting is wrong, you should be more careful… and… and…” You feel confused and a bit stupid, why are you feeling this weird… ahhh, and thankfully you feel a cool hand land on your shoulders, and you calm down.

“My gentle friend Kouga, I know you might feel somewhat confused at the moment, but please reconsider your course of actions. Take it from my own personal experience, trying to force these matters just ends in disaster… please consider giving these matters the time that they need. I know you must be pressed for time, but… if you are going to do something, then it’s better to do it right, Kouga.” Al’s words help calm your heart, and clear the poison called passion from your blood.

Yeah, Master didn’t teach you to do things like this.

“Thanks Al,” The gentleman’s noble smile is one that lifts your spirits and shines like the sun, and you instantly feel comfortable enough to ask him a question, “Al, can you tell me more about yourself and why you are here?”

“You may say that I am a wander, I recently was able to leave my home country after a long rest and now I am in a journey to see the world… I want to see this world with my own eyes and see how it compares to what I have heard of it. I guess I want to see if this is a world that has Miracles or not, does that explain things Kouga. I am staying in this city for a few days, but I feel I will have to leave soon. I dislike admitting this, but I am not… exactly very sociable with most of the French, so I feel I should leave as soon as I can, there is much I want to see, before the end of this era comes.”

You think you can understand how Al feels, you too have heard much about the world, but now you want to see it with your own eyes. Plus hearing that Al is going to travel the world makes you feel that you might meet him in another place… it feels like nice.

Even though you just met him, you think that Al could become a close friend. Even now you feel closer to him, maybe he is the sort of true gentleman whose heart is transparent and clear to connect with.

“Well Kouga, I have to go, I hope our paths cross soon enough. I leave in two days, so we may meet in the city still.” Alfred starts to withdraw coolly, like the true gentleman this man is, “Let us meet again, Lady BT, my gentle friend Kouga!” As Alfred disappears in the multitude of people that congregate in the plaza, you now think what you should be doing.

You know that BT has some question, but now you feel that you can't answer them correctly, so maybe you should...
>Go back to the park, just sit with BT and take a rest…

Wise UP: [_____________]
Sword of hope, using my name as a King,
I humbly call upon you once again to fight.
Even though your soul has left this cold steel,
Burning our wishes, I shall forge you anew.
Even if the miracles are no longer allowed to exist,
We shall create them with our own hands.
Even if the end of the era only brings despair,
We shall challenge it with your noble blade.
Burning with righteous anger against evil,
You are the holiest of the holy swords.
Thy name is that of the sacred weapons reborn,
NOBLE ARMS = EXCALIBUR COLDBRAND!

we will have to disagree with that, It is not the top deck but unplayable

Oddly enough seeing Al leave left you feeling calm and cool, maybe some of Alfred’s gentlemanliness rubbed onto you, and thus you quickly decided what to do next.

“Versa, please come with me.” You hold BT’s hand and take her to the café you were sitting earlier, and just sit down with her to drink a cup of coffee. The hot drink helped you calm down, and remove the red haze that was making you think weird.

While Versa calmly asks you question about the city over a several cups of coffee (which you replied with some of the info your read earlier), you tried to think… and think deeply.

You know that you are being stupid about this, but to be honest with yourself, you have never even stopped for a moment to think about this sort of thing before. You always had some training with Medea or Master, or had to be reading some book. The little free time you had left, you reserved it for Sonia and your nice friend.

And sadly, you never considered either of them like that. Yeah your nice friend is a cutie, but you never had a reason to think like that about her, and Sonia… well she is hard to get most of the time, so yeah… that would be tough to even try to consider.

So why now… sure BT was a cute girl and a nice friend, but she is not really your type. Plus she was so confusing most of the time and you were never sure if she was serious about anything… so why now? You just feel utterly confused and frustrated… you wish you had someone to talk about this… and sadly you only had Eden… and that devil.

You are better having no one...

Thankfully after twenty more mixtures of thinking and confusion, Eden finally arrives at the café, and quickly runs up you two. He quickly noticed how tense you are, but gracefully chose not to comment on it, and instead says, “Kogua, Black Tarantula, come we have to leave. I have found the location of our contact, the Leader of the Magic Cabal [The Golden Canary], the Witch of the Endless Light, Beatrice!”

The Witches are those who accepted the cursing magic born of the darkness and thus were rejected by this world of light. For their heresy there were damned by the world itself and had to live in hiding.

But what if a witch managed to turn the light into a tool to curse others, then wouldn’t that witch be doubly damned by this world of Light?

That is the cruel karma that the Witch of Light, Beatrice carries.
>Kouga: Saint of Mars 20 END

Next Time: Time to meet the head of the Magic Cabal [The Golden Canary], this sit he first time Kouga meets a fellow witch. As the young Saint of Mars learns more about his objectives, he finds more that he wanted to know about his teacher, Medea.
“Witches are existences that are tied to calamity and cruelty, so why should you be surprised, Kouga?”

A student inherits the will of the master, but what would Kouga inherit from his Master. While the lines are drawn for the battle for the Grimoire of the Original Flame, Kouga has to question what it means to be a witch.

>Next time on Kouga: Saint of Mars=> City of Light (II), The Heir to the Witch of Betrayal.
Don’t miss it.

So with this we finish, today’s run, if anyone has questions/comments please leave them. I will run tomorrow, so it would make me happy if people could be there (or if you can’t be there please tell me).

Also one last question before I leave, how do you guys see this quest ending, I feel curious.

Also sorry for being so slow today, I promise to be faster next time.

Don't forget to vote for the WISE UP... if you haven't already.

>>33971812
Currently that is the only vote we have...

>>33976687
This.

>>33976666
well it seems that we will be dealing with seacats

>>33969329
>Magic Cabals.
seems that it will be useful to know about then now

>>33976759
>>well it seems that we will be dealing with seacats
Sorry, but this Beatrice is not Beato, she isn't as cruel... otherwise she would have killed Medea. She is not really related conceptually to seacats.

I actually thought for a moment to use the title of the Golden Witch for a seacats reference, but I felt that using the word Golden twice was too loaded, so I went with the Witch of Light.

Also today is the last thread were we will have down time for a while, next time is the start of the real meat of this arc.

>>33976865
BelkanSniper, what would have happened have we kiss BT?

>>33979920
Depends on how Kouga handle that even and what he says, but it probably would have ended with either BT continuing to kiss Kouga randomly as she tries to collect data so she can try to understand why she enjoys doing that with him or with Kouga engaging in a strange journey as he tries to start a relationship with BT and teach her how to love (or how he thinks these things work, he is twelve after all).

Either way, it would have been funny for me to write.

Wise Up: The Mages of Light, the Mages of Darkness.

It looks like you got what I meant a bit wrong, but let me go over this anyway, as you know Light and Darkness are special elements, and probably the one with the least users. There is a reason why this element is generally in the center of the elemental wheel, some consider both the light and darkness two sides of the same coin, which is the closest to the realm where the god lies… the closest to the Original Law.

Sadly that means that having a natural user of the light and dark element is a rarity among rarity, the sort of thing you either call an unshakable fate or a most spending miracle. That’s why someone who is naturally born with the power to use naturally either the light or the darkness could be called a rare mutant… similar to the ESPers.

Most of the time, mages obtain these powers by entering a contract with a god, which then allows them to use the power of the god to control either the light and the darkness. Needless to say, playing with gods is dangerous, so most of the time these sort of covenants end up horribly.
But I can’t deny that they are a way to become stronger faster, most of the time, the gods do not only grant the elemental cosmos to a mage, but also the power to use [miracles] in the name of that god.

To end this, the largest type of mage that specialize in using the darkness are generally witches (for some reason most of them are female), while the most traditional mage that uses the power of the light are the clerics of the Holy Church. In a way you can see why those two groups never got along with each other.

Still, Kouga, like everything in life, magic is about balance and understanding. Only by learning how things works, breaking them down and understanding their base concepts, then you will finally learn how to handle any challenge.

WISE UP: Magic Cabals
Due to several historical and political reasons (and the intervention of the Sanctuary and the Holy Church), the mages never got together to make a single large global organization like the Alchemists of Atlas did.

At most there are some loose regional groups that associate many mages, but sadly these Magic Associations lack the coordination, resources and numbers to do really be a threat to the church/the Sanctuary and thus overall lack the political/military power that Atlas has.

But even so, there are some malcontents that dislike the larger "Associations of Mages", and try to keep themselves away. Most of these outcasts are happy to just hide in a dungeon/tower/castle and continue their research in secret, but there are some that go, “I can make one better, with blackjack and hookers!”

So yeah, sadly that’s what Magic Cabals amount to, they are small independent Magic Association of similar thinking mages that dislike the bigger groups and want to do their own thing. Most of these form because mages want to use theories discarded by the big groups, or want to perform some unorthodox research or they just plain dislike authority.

Generally they are composed of mages that share similar research goals and political interests or mages that share similar theoretical concepts and practice the same disciplines. So basically you go to a small Cabal to find people who share your same ideals and want to do similar research as you… sometimes being small is good, right?

To be honest, I feel that it’s quite sad that Mages never got to bet really organized, but sadly the almost numberless schools of magic and practices that exist make such a thing almost impossible, that’s why the two biggest Associations are merely two large groups that represent a the Western and the Eastern mages separately.

In the end, I do want to remind you that just because a Cabal is small doesn’t mean that it’s harmless. The oldest of these small group survive independently only because they have a strong and smart Mage at the head, so try to be careful with them.

Take care Kouga, that witch of light can be dangerous. You don’t survive 200 years as a witch by being stupid.

>Signed, Silber, who would like to remind you that he only knows a single basic spell… fireball!

PS: Let me amend something I said last time, while the elements in the center of the wheel are closer to the law of beginnings, the elements outside are connected to the Zeroth Law, the rule that foresees all endings. In the end, the world exists in a chaotic cycle of life and death.
