February 28th, 2013 - Kingfin goes missing and the whole guild goes to shit
We decided to pay a visit to the city today to find out some more information about the oxygen-magic problem. We headed to the palace to ask Kingfin himself but as we approached the palace, we saw Kingfin heading off to a festival in the middle of the city. He looked like he was ready for some fun...*chuckles* We decided to just stick around the city and explore, but there was soon a strange unease in the air, and then a sudden panic once people realized what was wrong..
Kingfin was kidnapped...Immediately, we headed back to the guild to try and find a way to track him but we were interrupted by some nasty looking scorpion-lobsters that I nicknamed Scorpers. But oddly enough...there was only three of them and Grey, Star, Kidara and I took them out with ease....It was almost too easy...
Was it...a trap?
.... Ohgod. Yes, yes it was! Those crazy AXIS bastards turned the guild into a deathtrap maze! Some crazy girl from AXIS Organization hacked E.R.O.'s and turned him into a killing machine! Everyone was seperated by strange sound-proof walls and that same crazy girl on E.R.O.'s screen turned us against one another with some crazy, emotion-manipulating powers. She also took the liberty of pointing out everyone's flaws and mistakes...tearing us down and turning us against one another...Ngh...
I-I'm not sure what happened after I passed out from overexerting myself on that barrier to protect Grey, Gray, Star, Spirit, Luna and I but...apparently, Kidara, Estra, Viathan, and Ten saved us all...
But....but not without a cost...They took Kysa..."The Faith is with us" Is what that girl told us before she left the guild...
And....and Oni...he...he didn't survive...
AXIS will pay for this...the moment we recuperate we're storming their base...

March 2nd, 2013 - Trust
Today, as we were discussing what we should do about Grayson's crystallized, flesh-eating disease, we found out that Grey believes that crazy AXIS girl over us. Huh...and just when he earned my trust...
I was told by Estra he made a couple of bad remarks about the guild and I and she threw him out, considering him a danger for the guild. Shortly after, Max convinced her to go after him because he was vital for Grayson's survival...Huh, looks like Estra has a little bit of a heart after all.
Anyways, as told to me by Estra, when going to retrieve Grey, he said he was looking to join the AXIS World Organization. Max and Estra and Marko tried to convince him to come back, but after Max took a slap to the face from Grey, she snapped, broke his nose, and the three of them left back to the guild.
Shortly after, E.R.O. said he was picking up the girl who hacked him right near Grey's location. And we assumed from that they were planing some sort of ambush. Marko kept an eye on the girl and grey who for some odd reason sneaked around the guild and began attacking the city. Not wanting to leave the guild defenseless, I Moonlight went alone to stop him while the others guarded the guild. He was joined shortly by several AXISDrones. I took out most of them by transforming into various sea animals, and the guards of the city took care of the rest.
I think when AXIS saw that that their plan was failing, they shot Grey as a last-effort attempt to lower our numbers. I rushed back to the guild with the wounded Grey and took him down to the lab....I healed his wounds but...he had already lost too much blood...
And just then, his pendant began glowing and Darius emerged from the light and fixed him up. Well, at least he's good for something. I think Grey has now learned his lesson. It's a pity he had to learn it the hard way though.
In other news, Inferno is constructing (*cough*destruction*cough*) A large training area for us made of crystal. This will definitely do us some good.
That's all for today.

March 4th, 2013 - News
A few things to report:
E.R.O. has found the location of AXIS' base of operations in the area. It's about 1-2 leagues above the guild on the surface. When I swam upwards to see if it was possible to get to on foot, I was stopped quarter-way by a crazy-haired guy who seems to work for AXIS . Him and I had a bit of a battle, but it seems more like he was toying with me more than anything. He fled when he saw Marko and Darius in the distance.
Grayson's Crystal condition was reversed greatly by Max and his powers over time. But how long do we have to find a permanent solution to his disease?

March 6th Update
Inferno finally finished up our new shiny training room! I can give you instructions on how to use it how.
Basically, it is mostly empty except for a small loft area that's built above the actual fighting stage. At the front of the loft area, there is a large crystal that can be used to manipulate the stage area. Whatever you envision in your mind as you touch the crystal is what the arena will become.
Have fun with the area, guildies, but don't toy around too much with it though!

March 10th, 2013 - Attack on AXIS Organization Base #1Well, here it is! The day we've been waiting on. The day we attack AXIS' local base of operations. Today, I Moonlight called everyone to the living room for a group meeting, to come up with a plan to attack the AXIS Base. Apparently they are on a large chunk of floating crystal several hundred leagues above us. Deciding that approaching the base from the shoreline would be a bad idea, we decided to come from underneath the island. Inferno used his natural ability to manipulate crystal and created a hole in the center of the island for us to sneak into. We (We as in "The Guildies". I'm not going to name everyone individually.) rode the airship up to the bottom of the island since swimming there would be nigh impossible. Once we got onto the surface of the island, we found Inferno already attacking the base. After disabling the turrets, (With Max, Inferno and Spirit's help) Estra blasted us a makeshift entrance in the wall and we all worked our way inside only to be stopped by someone who goes by the name of Sethos, the same guy who was fighting me yesterday. Inferno stayed behind to fight him, but it it seems Sethos dealt with him quiet easily as he reappeared and challenged Kidara. Kidara held him off while the rest of us searched for Kysa. It was then after we left Sethos in Kidara's capable hands vectors, we ran into a fork in the road. I decided to split into two and one half followed my Angel half to the left (Max, Spirit, Darius, and Estra) and the other half followed my Demon half to the Right ( Marko, Aussie, Crie, and Star.) The Angel team found a person we now know as Siegfried in a lab-like area while the Demon team found the dungeon and searched for Kysa. They were later Joined by Inferno. When the Angel team confronted Siegfried in the lab, they saw him with Kingfin who was strapped to a table, several wires running through him. Siegfried then pulled a lever, forcing energy into him and turning him into some Serpent-like creature and he began tearing through the building, luckily for us, Spirit threw us into a small side room where we escaped harm. This is where we found Iravesh (Ira for short) who was at first afraid of us, but due to our gentle nature, he quickly learned to trust us. Meanwhile, the Demon team was ambushed by the now serpentine Kingfin who filled the entire dungeon area with scolding-hot water. There were a few burns but Inferno managed to save Kysa and Ranger who we were surprised to find in the dungeon. After a bit of a fight, we were able to revert Kingfin back to his normal form, my demon half carried the unconscious Kingfin out the building. It was there the Demon team left and made their way to the ship; Inferno was already off the island with Kysa and the KO'd Ranger. As the Angel team headed outside, we were stopped by Sethos who was carrying a very familiar grimoire...he then said that the rest of AXIS already left to the first location of the godchild...Then chanted a spell that created a ball of energy that began consuming everything. Estra blasted us a makeshift exit and everyone made for the hole before the ball of energy consumed the building and exploded. Spirit used his control over gravity to lower the ship slowly and safely back to the guild. Besides a few burns caused by the scolding water, everyone was okay. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once we made it back to the guild, the few injured were healed up and we made Ira feel at home. It was then he impressed us with healing Grayson up almost immediately. He was quite surprised at how thankful we were. On a more personal note, I think I've grown quite a liking to the little guy.~ He began telling me about the location of the first godchild....He said something about a tree being big enough to hold a city...Certainly sounds interesting. Oh, also, Kingfin stopped by again. Apparently that serpent form of his was a real thing. He turns into that when he's at full power and he says he is also the guardian of this underwater realm. He also wants to throw us a celebration in the city for saving him and their world. Picture: Kingfin's True FormRest up everyone, because after the celebration, it's right back to searching for the godchildren!

March 11th, 2013 - Celebration, Goodbyes and PreparationKingfin invited all the Guildies to a celebration in our honor. He presented us to the city, invited us into the palace and prepared us a royal dinner in a special room filled with air just for us. Afterwards, we returned to the city and went crazy. There was a huge party with singing, dancing, music, games, and they even did a old fashioned joust just for us. Heh, this city is certainly lively when it's not being threatened. After the party, Kingfin called us up on stage and gave everyone a medal...he even gave us extras for the Guildies who couldn't make it to the party. He then had a statue carved out of pearl for us, it was a statue of the guild with all of us standing around it...It was pretty darn impressive...He said it was a monument built for us in the city so that all of the people there would remember us. We were then given gifts by multiple citizens of the city, then Kingfin then gave us a large, red sparkling pearl that pulsated with energy and said it was a personal gift from him to the guild.We then wished Kingfin and everyone in Octopus City a happy goodbye Afterwards, Kingfin had the guards deliver all our gifts and food to the guild, where we took it in happily, thanked the guards and got back to work on searching for the Godchildren. _________________________________________________________________________________________ After tirelessly searching through the night with Iravesh, we finally managed to lock onto the dimension where we are 99.99% 100% certain the first Godchild is. Picture: EverforestName: Everforest A giant forest of trees with cities built in them. These trees are so massive, an entire civilization can live in one. A single branch is big enough for the entire guild to sit on and still have plenty of room to walk around on. There are giant flowers that have lanterns that hang from them that float around the trees at night. There are tunnels within the trees with glowing mushrooms to light up the insides. There are mostly homes in the insides of the tunnels, but there a few shops/ recreational areas too. Gravity: Normal Atmosphere: Normal. Has all four seasons with mild weather. It rains at least once a week. Weather: Normal. Season currently appears to be Spring. Tops of the trees are colder, and often times covered with snow Local City/Town/Village: There is a different city in each tree, but they mostly all look alike. They all have different names. ________________________________________________________________________________________ We have to find that godchild. We've been delayed enough, and who knows what the AXIS Organization could be up to...

March 12th, 2013 - The Bird and the WormWhen we first arrived at this new dimension, the guild appeared on a large branch in the upper level of a town, while Ira, Max and I followed behind. Shortly after Grayson helped us tether down the ship safely, the sound of horns were heard through the massive forest; perhaps it was a warning system of some sort. Soon after the horns sounded, we were visited by the leader of this place, an anthromorphic Horned Owl named Salem. Picture:Mayor SalemHe gave us a warm welcome, and asked why we came here. I got off the ship and explained that we were investigating magical disturbances in the area. He seemed a little jumpy after I asked if anything was wrong and insisted that this place was peaceful. He said we could stay as long as we like to search for Ira's "friend" ...but before he left, he said that the place had a curfew; we all had to be indoors by dark...Wonder why... After Salem left, Star, Ira, Max, Kayla and I went out to go take a survey of the area. As we did, we asked other locals the same questions that we asked Salem, and we also asked what the curfew was for. We got very suspicious after our outing because right after we left the locals, they ran off , quickly locked up their homes for the night and cut off all the lights. We all suspected something was up... Our suspicions were confirmed when we were attacked by a giant, black owl.Max, Ira and I, flew back to the guild to protect it, while Kayla and Star stayed behind; they said they would be able to handle the owl... But it didn't last long as the owl attacked the guild shortly after. We were able to chase it off without any major damage thanks to a stranger who showed up and saved Kayla from being crushed by the giant owl's talons. He claims to be a bounty hunter. After the owl attack on the guild. Kay and I went searching for Star. She was mostly unharmed but had a bit of a headache after being shot out of the sky by the owl's strange ability to manipulate wind currents. Odd.. Everyone be on the look out, and try not to stay out past dark unless you've got somebody to back you up. I don't want anyone ending up as an owl pellet.

March 21st, 2013 - Too Quiet.
Since the first attack, not much has happened. The owl attacked Star and her Shardbeing, a few days ago but Greyson quickly dispatched the attack, bringing back the two without much harm. The bounty hunter who visited us is named Lance. He gave me a small silver metallic ring with black pulsating wires on it. He said it broke off the owl when he attacked it.
...AXIS again, guys....*sigh* But besides that owl...there's been no other sign of them...Where are they? And what are they planning with this owl?
Perhaps a little more through search is required here, guys. We need to ask around some, see if anybody else notices just a little more than this owl.

March 23th, 2013 - Missing? (Post courtesy of Starlight Fang)
Bad news, guys. Gray and Kysa are missing...Nicole came home one night stating that they saw Kysa being attacked by a giant owl, and Gray went to help her...but they never came back.
I went and searched the area Nicole said they were, but I didn't find them. Just a bunch of destroyed things.. I hope nothing happened to them...
I'm worried, guys...

March 25th, 2013 - Today was Sunny, With a Whole lot of What the F*** (Post courtesy of Grayson)
It all started off with Moonlight coming into the lab and setting a robot named Epsilon free. I (Darius) , of course, locked him in closed space for a while. After talking Epsil out, I managed to explain to him that it was all just a game to see if he was really trustworthy.
Shortly after, I released the closed space, and there was someone pounding away at the barrier. So, Star, Marko, and myself went to check it out, lo and behold, Ruseka was there, spouting some nonsense about sugar, and that Gray and Kysa had gone missing.
I got Ruseka to consent to joining us through trickery, and bonded the four of us together under a set of simple rules: One, if you kill another member of the ground, you die. Two, if you separate from the group, you die. Three, betray the group, you die. And fourth, The group can only be disbanded once the targets, Grayson and Kysa, are found...unharmed.
We boarded Ruseka's drone after much arguing, and set off to where they thought the Owl might be, you know, to look for clues. The place was a large tree-cave-hollow...thing. Ruseka's first instinct was torch the place, while Marko and Star argued against it, worried for Gray and Kysa's safety. That argument ended soon enough when Ruseka set her drone to stun, not burn, and a loud screech came out of the cave. The Owl was home.
Marko and Star went in the cave to lure the owl out. After searching around for a bit, the owl appeared and attacked Ruse and I. While I heroically fended off the attacks, Ruseka tried calling home to AXIS, but no one answered. Once I had about enough of that owl, I transferred Star and Marko back to the Drone, and the owl flew off, but left behind some shadowy mini owls to deal with. Ruseka, unsure of whether the owl was on her side or not, destroyed the mini-owls with many, many lasers and guns. We set off once more, returning to the Guild to look for clues.
Using Star's canine nose, we were pointed to the city, where we headed off to. Fights broke out here and there along there journey, but here is where things got serious. About halfway to the city, Moon's flying fuzzy thing (Max) flew from behind out of nowhere and stopped for a little chat, but decided to fly back to the Guild to warn Moon of the situation.
Once we hit the city, I noticed a small crater...evidence of last night's fight with the owl? The general consensus was yes, so off we went! ... Back in the Guild's direction. We stopped partway there, when Star noticed that the smell.. Seemed to go under the trees. Ruseka, using her handy Drone, cleared the way for them. So we descended.
At the ground level, we sat. At a loss. Star said the scent led back UP the hole they just came down. It was then I brilliantly remembered that I have a tracking device on Gray. After the long journey, tempers were short, but regardless, we set off following a small rock dashing towards Gray.
What will we find at the end of our journey? Who cares? I'm tired.

March 27th, 2013 - Kidnapping at the Mayor's office
Today, Grayson, Ira, Kysa, Starlight, Marko, Joseph and I were contemplating our next move against AXIS and the owl. Somewhere along the line, I was informed that Grayson and Kysa were kidnapped by a strange Zephyri that took them to a location unknown. We asked them to recall as much as possible to see if we could get a description of the location so we could locate it easier, but all they remembered was lots of snow that strangely wasn't cold, a barrier made of mist that reflected attacks, and lots of Vernavi. I asked E.R.O. If he could track the place using the signal off Grayson and Kysa, but he said the signal cut out after a certain distance...Odd really..
After lots of conversing, we decided that the best move would be to find the owl, and find out what's really going on with it...Apparently, according to Starlight and company, the owl now had a white spot on its head...Weird, I remember it being completely black...
We didn't know exactly how to attract the owl, but we though that maybe if we could attract Ruseka--This is information we acquired from Darius; apparently the one who attacked the guild with the mental onslaught was Ruseka-- The owl would follow her to give her backup. I had a plan in mind, but it involved meeting with Salem the Mayor again. So, we loaded up the boat and went on our way.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We arrived at the mayor's office/home with very little difficulty ( I have trouble parking, jeez..) and once we got inside, we found that it was rather crowded. We found a raven who seemed to know where everything was, but told us that we had to write on some papers to see the mayor and then wait for a few days...? I didn't really understand what the point of that was so...I ah...looked up the information myself on where the mayor was located in the building...in her mind. *cough*
Aaaanyways, after finding from the nice raven lady that the mayor's office was located on the fifth floor, we made our way up and found him on a a break. He gladly invited us in with him. Once we sat down, we made it clear what we were there for. We asked him about the owl and told him we already knew about it being more than just some "nighttime predators" that was keeping the area in such a tight knot.
He didn't resist this time. He told us the whole truth. According to him, the owl---or "The Guardian" as he called it--at one point was good, and protected their land from danger, along with several Vernavitas that lived among them. He explained that he and the other occupants of this land praised the Vernavitas and the owl as higher beings. But one day, the owl just vanished...the next day, so did the Vernavitas. He said weeks passed before the owl returned, and when it returned, it was nothing like how it was before. He said the owl didn't harm the city if nobody bothered it...
...Of course, that changed right then and there, because the owl attacked the office. As soon as he finished his story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was panic everywhere as people birds fled the premises of the building, of course, the owl was more focused on us, rather than the civilian birds who fled without harm. Salem, being scared out of his mind, hid under his desk, and we had to rescue him. While we made our way though the collapsing building, Kysa was outside, protecting the bird-people from falling debris. Once we made it outside, we all began battling the owl, but we were quickly reminded by Salem that the owl was still their only protector, so we had to improvise. We began trying to trap it, but failed miserably when Kysa ran out of power to hold her earth pillars up, which were doing most of the work to keep the owl down. After the owl had knocked us aside, another one of those AXIS goons showed up, y'know the one with sunglasses and the messed up face. He taunted us for our failed attempt and told us that the attacks would stop if we gave up Ira...
The sunglassed goon promised no harm would come to him and he would even return him once they were done...I did'nt buy it...besides...I...I couldn't give him up... He was family now...and he was our only key to saving the world. When we refused, he was about to send the owl on us when suddenly a Vernavitas showed up and blasted him aside, and shortly after, more arrived with her....Or, so we thought.
While the Vernavitas was distracted, she was knocked aside by the owl, and seemed to loose her focus and just like that, all her 'backup' disappeared. Well, fuck.
Through the distraction, I ran for the ship, Ira in hand, trying as hard as possible to get him to safety...but...I was stopped by the sunglassed goon...I attacked him but...it wasn't enough...
...He...He took Ira...
...He t-took my I-Ira...
...Rngh....He just fucking made this personal....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pft, out of my anger, I forgot to add a small, but perhaps important note...When Kysa attacked the owl with fire on it's face, the place where the fire hit turned white, but shortly returned to the black. Probably important. Somebody keep a note on it.
I'm going to be...out working...

March 28th, 2013 Wait, Where's Moon?! (Post courtesy of Grayson)
Well, guys, I (Grayson) have decided. I am going to challenge, and defeat Moonlight! Don't worry, it's all for fun~ Star has agreed to help me, and I will be moving into her room for the time being! After a little duel between Star and I, I managed to knock her out, and take her to our room~
Once I returned, though, I went to check on Moon, and we have some bad news. Moon is gone! Does anyone have any clue where she could have gone?! She seemed pretty upset about something after that owl attack...

March 29th, 2013 - Rushing in Blindly (Post courtesy of Grayson)
H-hello...? This is Ira... Iravesh...
Today I was held captive by Siggy, from AXIS. We talked about some things, mostly about how wants to get the godchildren just as much as I do, and that if I help him, he'll let me talk to them and stuff... I don't know. This is the second time they've kidnapped me, and I think I'm starting to understand Siggy a little bit better now. The best part about today? Moonie came and saved me! I think she beat up a lot of the AXIS guys, because by the time she got to my room, she was pretty beat up, but before that Siggy came in. He was hurt really really badly, he told me not to trust Moonie, but how could I do that...? Mary (Marko) called me useless yesterday, and Siggy said I wasn't useless, that I was actually really important.
I wonder who my real friends are...? Siggy said he was, and I know the godchildren are, and, and... Siggy said he'll help me find them.. I'm so confused...
After Moonie came to my room, we were reunited, and escaped, but she looked like she was about to collapse, so I... I used one of my spells to heal her wounds, but without my connection to the gods, my power... Is really gone... She managed to fly us back to the Guild, where everyone quickly cleared the couch for her. I hope she gets better soon...

December 25th, 2013 - Merry Guildmas~!
Heya~! Happy holidays from me, Spirit~! Everyone here at the guild is exchanging gifts and just having a great time with the holidays...well, as great as they can be in our current situation. Ira seems a bit distressed about something, and Mommy's still out cold but, Kysa healed her up pretty nicely a few days ago, but since then, she's just been asleep on the sofa, waking up every so often before falling back to sleep...AXIS really messed her up...
Speaking of the World AXIS Organization, they've been awfully quiet since mom attacked...Maybe they're out for the holidays..? Or planning something big...
Either way, today is just a day for relaxation for the guild~! Happy Holidays~!
