"I see." Loki began, looking back to Nybeth. "Would it be at all posible this spell be adjusted to better suit my needs? And if not, what is the absolute maximum the as can be contained before the effectiveness of which begins to decrease?"
[hr]
Erica looked absent-minded upon hearing Teren's explaination of the history of the Order. I remember when the order was formed, even now. I full-heartedly suported the idea. Were someone to suggest it to me now, I'm not so sure. The results... speak for themselves. But still. I often wonder if those people accepted the offer given to them back then because they truly wanted to do something with their sordid lives, or if they simply viewed it as a say-out-of-jail card. I suppose I will never know. She snapped out of her train of thoughts once Teren spoke. "And I won't object to it. Let's go." She answered, trying to smile, but could only manage a feint one.

Tao not complying, the two guards stepped over to her and held out grabbed her arms, forcefully bringing them infront of Tao. Holding her in place like that, the guard in robes held out his hands near Tao's wrists and ethereal, yet solid shackles appeared over them. Now, with Tao shackled, the robed guard left the cell and began leading the two guards to the room that would serve as Tao's execution room. The two guards dragged Tao out of her cell, along the hallways, each guard holding Tao by a diferent arm. They dragged Tao passed the infirmary, and into the mortuary, closing the door behind them. Having been informed that the mortuary would serve as an execution chamber, the coroner wasn't present.

The one guard held Tao by the shoulders while another one removed her coat, frowning at the 'clothing' she wore underneath once done.

The robed soldier dispelled the shackles on Tao's wrists, then grabbed Tao's ankles. With the help of the robed guard, the guards lifted Tao ontop of a table and held her there. The robed guard conjured up the ethereal shackles again, this time binding Tao to the table, and once done, he walked to the side of the room where several cabinets hang on the wall. The two other guards left the room, closing the door behind them and waiting in the hallway.

The robed guard retrieved a syringe and two bottles from the cabinets. Both bottles were made of dark-brown glass and were filled with some liquid, the colour of the glass making it imposible to tell what colour these liquids were. One bottle had a label with an half-closed eye on it, the other bottle had a traditional skull and crossbones poison warning on the label. Putting the bottle that contained the poison down, the robed guard removed the lid of the bottle he still held and filled the syringe with the liquid, which was now revealed to be transparant.

"Any last words?" the guard asked Tao, walking over to her while checking if there wasn't any air in the syringe by emptying a small portion of its content.

Tao would be crying and struggling very weakly against her bonds. "T-tao doesn't wanna d-d-die, meow...It's not f-f-fair, meow..." she managed to get out between her blubbering.

Yukino continued on dashed full speed through Lakewest. As she headed for the lake, she smiled to herself before running even faster and leaping as hard as she could at an angle, landing on a beach to the side before continuing on toward the pod's crash zone (Holadino).

[hr]

Ness just nodded a bit toward Casimir before turning toward Jessica, slightly concerned at her being quiet for so long. "Jessica, are you alright?"

Casimir and Teren 'Sai both nodded in response to Erica and agreed with her desire to carry on. Turning away they led the group over hte long, narrow bridge crossing the chasm to the College. Passing through the courtyard with it's permanently lit wells of magelight, they entered into the Main Hall. Passing through the building, the group saw many more marvels that could be seen gathered in few other places in the many universes. Students herded back and forth on their way to lectures, some practiced spells in designated safe areas, some with spectacular results, some with comical and equally spectacular failures. The halls were dotted with plaques and cabinets exhibiting various artifacts of great pwer or ancient historical significance. Once they passed a glass case displaying a lone dagger that Tophat and Erica would both recognise. Even laying idle for centuries, Mehrune's Razor still exuded a certain malevolence, as though it longed for one of the group to seize it from the case and use it to strike down their fellows.

Finally, Casimir and Teren 'Sai led them to the door of the Archmage's quarters. An Orc was coming out as they approached.
"Keep your voices down, don't agitate her." He warned gruffly. "All day it's been nothing but hordes of visitors, coming in and out of here."
"Thank you Khargash. We'll keep our peace inside." Casimir assured him, before gesturing for the group to enter.

"A man fitting this Envy's description encountered a Lieutenant Colonel named Ardimas. Ardimas said this person killed an old man and then attacked him. But, he believed he had killed him." Athena explained. "So how would you meet such a person?"

"I see..." Athena answers.

"I must say, Miss Roads, I am curious about your world. Could you tell me of it?" Tiberius asked.

Yuki eventually found her way to Holadino, hopping across the rooftops as she made it into the farming town. She kept going toward where the pod looked like it crashed at.

"...Okay, Buddy, I'm up. I'm up." I think as my little friend desperately tries to jump start my body. Quick diagnostic shows...no serious injuries. Good start. Looking around, I can't see much. First priority, checking on the others...After I get out of this safety harness.

"It's Ross, but it's kind of like this world. We have a form of magic called Alchemy, where people trained in it can convert one thing into another as long as the same materials are used. For example, an alchemist could turn liquid iron into an iron sword as long as no matter is created or destroyed, which would be impossible. I'm not an alchemist, but I thought I could fit into your nation a little better."

Walking through the halls of the college, Erica looked at the students as they practiced, rather then the others sights the halls had to offer. Occasionally, she would speak words of encouragement to the students she passed, trying her best to sound cheerful, and not entirely succeeding. Although glum, her voice still carried some manner of affection that spoke of her wanting the students to succeed in their endeavors. Once the group came before the door leading to the archmages' quarters, Erica stopped and bowed slightly at the Orc standing outside.

"As Casimir said, we'll speak lightly." Erica said to the Orc at the door, chiming in on Casimir. Taking a deep breath, inhaling through her nose, Erica entered the quarters, walking towards AEanna's bed, treading softly. As she walked, she tried to smile once more, but again, only managing a feint one.
[hr]
As much as Tao struggled, she wouldn't be able to move hr arms or legs an inch, being held firmly in place by the shackles.

It being unprofessional to speak with the condemned, the robed guard said nothing in responce to Tao. Stepping over to her, she looked at her right wrist for a suitable vain to inject to contents of the syringe in to. Finding one, the guard sticked the syringe in, slowly injecting the liquid. As time passed, Tao would feel hazy, losing awareness of her surroundings, as she subcumbed to the anesthetic. Once three minutes had passed, Tao would be completely under.

Once done, the robed guard disposed of the syringe he used the screwed the lid back on to the bottle of anesthetic. Then, he retrieved a second syringe and placed the needle into the bottle of poison, which would be a light brown, almost orange in colour. Once more, he checked if there was any air in the syringe, this time moving over to a sink to do so. Satisfied that there wasn't, the guard walked back to Tao. Sticking the needle of the syringe in the same vein he had used to inject the anesthetic in, but slightly above the needle mark that was there, he injected the poison. Tao's heartbeat would first increase, then her breathing slowing. after this, her heartbeat would slow down, until it beated no more.

One minute after injecting the poison, the procedure was over. Tao was dead.

The robed guard disposed of the second syringe, put away the bottles he had retrieved, covered Tao's body with her coat, and left the mortuary.

The Archmage's quarters looked much the same as it always had. Various book and arcane items stacked on every shelf and table. AEanna, who was lying in repose on the bed, however, looked very different than she had as a younger woman. Her once strongly coloured golden skin was pale and yellow, the colour of old paper. Her gleaming silver hair was now thin, wispy and simply dull white. Her amber coloured, almond shaped eyes were faded. And yet when she turned her head and saw the group, she wore the same warm smile that she had had all her long life.

"Ah, here are some faces that I had almost forgotten." She said, her low, rich voice now weak and dry. "Thank you for returning now."

Nybeth stroked his beard without saying anything for a while, as if he were deep in thought. "To be honest, I have yet to even attempt to contain the gas. It is designed to be dispersed by the wind, quickly scattering until it loses the volume required to be terminally dangerous. I cannot be entirely certain if containing it is actually an impossibility."

[hr]

Jessica watched the mages practicing with great interest for as long as she could before the group she was accompanying had walked out of sight of them. She continued taking in the sights of the College until she heard Ness speak to her and snapped her attention to her. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, no, I'm fine. It's just...well it's not important anymore." She replied, trying to reassure Ness that nothing was wrong. She followed after Erica as she entered the Archmage's quarters, but she stayed off to the edges of the room once she was inside.

"Interesting. Could you demonstrate this skill if we provided you with some materials?" Tiberius asked.

OoC:...
That death sentence was the most horrible thing I've ever had to watch.

Grace just hides out back, behind the group... Slowly backing out, and waiting in the hallway, listening.

Rita chimed in "Well, maybe you can design a specialized version of the spell. With masters gift I was able to make great strides with my magic, maybe you can too?"

[hr]

"Maria" shook her head no. "No, to become an alchemist you need extensive training and education, something I never got."

OoC @wacky: Good. That was the intended effect.

"I suggest this is a thing we test until actually attempting to employ such a method." Loki answered Nybeth. "If it proves to be successful, I can see potential future uses for it."
[hr]
Reaching AEanna's bed, for a moment Erica closed her eyes, drawing a deep breath once more. "No matter the circumstances, I wouldn't miss being with you now." she answered, opening her eyes once more. Looking around the room for a chair, Erica pulled one over to the bed and sat down. "Hello, AEanna."
