In the Pursuit of Madness

[Abigail Crescentlight]

Abigail nodded a bit, then looked on the map. So many worlds! She had no idea there were so many. She blinked a little, pointing to a dark spot where there seemed to be SOMETHING, though there was NOTHING. "What's that, I wonder?" she asked, but by the time she asked, it was already past anyone's attention. She looked up to Merlin as he offered to transport them to Twilight Town.

"Think of where we want to go within the world? But I've never been there! I don't know where anything is..." she sighed, then looked at the map again. There was a large Clock Tower there, so she pointed to it. "Maybe we should stick to recognizable land marks... like that Clock Tower for example? Why don't we go there first and start our search outward, so we know where to go if we're in trouble?" she asked Agrias, then looked to Merlin.

"You'll send the Red Rose too?" she asked, blinking. "Can you really do that?" She was beginning to really get scared of this guy. Such power, he could easily crush them any time, with the same whimsical flights of fancy he had when popping of all things a DONUT into existance when he could have easily reached over and had a cookie and NOT abuse magic such!

She stood up, nodding. "Let's go then!" she said, a determined look on her face. "If I had been a little stronger, maybe Miss Beatrix would still be here. We're going to find her, and I'm going to get stronger along the way!" she said, pumping a fist enthusiastically.

"TO TWILIGHT TOWN!" she held her fist up eagerly. "Let's find this Vivi and RESCUE BEATRIX!"

[Agrias Oaks]

Agrias continued to eye the map of Twilight Town, growing uncertain of many things. Were they strong enough to hold back any enemies? Beatrix was the only one with knowledge of how to get around while Agrias watched. She felt more like the muscle in tactic battles on the ground than on the air, much less traveling through worlds.

"If I had been a little stronger, maybe Miss Beatrix would still be here. We're going to find her, and I'm going to get stronger along the way!"

"....Lady Ovelia..." She whispered, closing her eyes, "What shall I do...?" she asked herself out loud, unknowingly. The knight surveyed the many books, and many maps, nodding to herself, as if in a split second, an answer had been told.

Learn.

"Right." Agrias whispered, turning to the Great Merlin, while resting a gloved hand on the material, "Master Merlin, I ask a great favor- May I borrow these books, and maps for me to study them along the journey? If I am to be moving about, I must learn the knowledge to do so."

The knight faced the window which directed to the east, her eyes glazing over the forest entrance before softening. A feeling of being watched... and a feeling of darkness, and sorrow had swept within her heart. The thought of Beatrix being taken away was eating at her, repeating over and over in her un-still mind. Her blade glowed dimly, also in a state of sadness for the loss of her sister sword, whom she had gone through many adventures with... only to be taken away by the shadows. Now, twin blades were separated once more toward distant worlds unknown... The sword felt unwhole... and it would show it, by weeping a metalic, incomplete tune.

Abigail blinked as Agrias spoke to herself, then suddenly was very interested in Merlin's books and trappings. She also noticed they were somewhat bulky in her arms. "Might I?" she asked, walking over and offering her small hip pouch to Agrias. "Don't worry! It holds more than it appears to!" She smiled brightly, reassuring the woman as she picked up a large scroll and slid it inside easily.

She looked to Merlin again and smiled. "We'll return them in the condition they were borrowed, of course!" she reassured, trying to win them brownie points with the Wizard so he'd agree. Once they were done loading information, they should be ready to go! "Ready, Miss Agrias?" she asked, eyes determined.

[Agrias Oaks]

"Ready, Lady Abigail!" said the knight, nodding to her before facing the Grand Wizard, "Please, if you will, Master Merlin... transport us to Twilightt Town!"

Agrias got in place next to Abigail, putting her blue cloak on which had already dried, and pulled the hood over her head so as to hide her hair and eyes. She rested a gloved hand upon the hilt of her mourning sword, and waited for further instructions.

[Secondary Characters]

"Yes, well, be very careful with them."

He finished his donut and took the plate of cookies and emptied it into a bag he snapped into existence and handed it to Abigail. "For your journey. Now, then. Two Warriors of Light are Far from where they belong, and have little time to waste; take them to the brink of Twilight, and make it post-haste! Teleport!"

***Off to Twilight Town***
