 Deep beneath the Diamond Serenity Guild, an ancient chamber was recently discovered. Within this Mysterious Chamber lies a fountain. But, as cliché as this is, this is no ordinary fountain. The fountain has a continuous flow of liquefied Mano. Drinking from the fountain, or even standing in it can heal things, slowly. Its main purpose is to instantly replenish the Mano of anyone that drinks it. This discovery became such a huge deal that the heads of the Diamond Serenity restricted access to everyone except the higher ups and those that are truly part of the guild. Soon after, a few known guild members suggested that they should bottle up some of the waters and give to only members for when they go on quests. The deal was made and a new discovery was found. When bottled, the contents must be drank entirely in order for the Mano to be replenished. If you drink half, or share a little with an ally, it will not do anything, just quench you. So it was decided, for guild member that go on quests, each quest member is allowed only one "Life Bottle" each for one time usage.

He took the final step off the stairs and torches automatically lit, revealing a pool of shimmering water in the center of the chamber. Curtis smirked as he walked in with his hands in his pockets. He approached one of the support pillars and snapped his fingers. The pillar opened uplike a cabinet, showing dozens of empty bottles. He took three out and approached the fountain. he looked into the mystical pool and smirked at his crystal clear reflection. He took a deep breath and whispered a few runes to the fountain. His reflection began to change into an assortment of images, all of them are things that are of the present time. He smirked as he watched the images and focused on trying to locate something. He figured he better wait for the others in order to get things moving without too many questions. И^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ЦΦЦ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^N

((ENTERS)) Θ Siege Master Antikles Θ
 Diamond Serenity  HP: 3700/3700 Mano: 700/700
Spells:
A rank: Locked
A rank: Active
B rank: Active
C rank: Active
SSS rank: Locked [==============[/strike]<+Λ+>==============] • Tarchon had pack quite an assortment of things, from foodstuffs to survival supplies, from illumination spells to destructive ones and other essential miscellaneous items and equipment. Antikles didn't mind being the 'pack mule' he understood the important's of having supplies whether for travelling, expeditions, battles and siege war fares, without proper supplies and equipment any army would fall apart or be defeated whether or not if they out numbered or outmatched their opponents. It is also convenient too that out of the three of them, Tarchon can carry all these packs with less physical strain due ti his shear inhuman strength that many people outside the guild would mistake him for a troll which Tarchon would then laugh it off, he isn't really the type to be offended over little things such as that.
Tarchon had just reached the last few steps to the lowest chamber where the fountain was discovered and by the looks of it the place was already occupied which he deducted due to the already lit torches on the pillars and glow-globes high up in the chambers ceiling, giving off a dim lighting, which only made this room even more unnecessarily mystical in his opinion. "Hmph, they really need to spruce up this place, bring in more of that modern touch", he said aloud that echoed throughout the entire chambers giving away his presents if his footsteps didn't. He walked further into chamber and just by the fountain Curtis was standing they making his adjustments as always, "Curtis, here first I see, doesn't really surprise me. So how are things on your end of this deal, I don't want to reappear in a place that I would regret", he jokingly said as he walked beside Curtis and set down the luggage. Now they waited for the other member of their three man team, then the expedition can begin! [==============[/strike]<+V+>==============]

Spells:
C rank: Clasp :Active
Shield: Ready
B rank: P&P: Ready
Ring: Ready
A rank: Barrier: Active/Ready
Dome: Active/Ready ╔════════════════╬════════════════╗ • Ratheonous slowly made his way down the steps to the fountain. It was a bit exciting to finally be able to see what it was. All these mysteries and rumors were being said about the place. That it was ancient, dangerous, evil. Although these rumors died out it soon after the unveiling. However Zihark hasn't really been into the fountain as of yet. He preferred to travel the old fashioned way, by use of propulsion rings. Well it wasn't the average way to travel but for him it was. Sure was exhilarating though. Both Curtis and Antikles had already arrived before him, which was to be expected. He didn't hurry to get ready at all, even if he didn't have much to bring in the first place. "Well this seems like a cozy place. Now what is so special about this place. Well except that the water glows." He said to the two as he stood at the end of the pool. ╚════════════════╬════════════════╝

C rank: Active
S rank: Active И^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ПΦП^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^N • Curtis looked up to see his comrades arrive, "Ah good, the entrance wasn't hard to find, yes? It is temporary until I can get the magic seals up. But, that will have to wait, right now I should present to you our new addition to our fine guild." Curtis wave his hand over the fountain and it began to shimmer and show more images, "This is the Fountain of Mano. I'm sure there might be more else where, but let's assume there is but this one In the mean time. A few months ago, after some digging to hopefully expand the guild more into the Cliffside, our excavators discovered something... amazing. We discovered a sort of spring within the tunnels. At first we thought it would postpone our construction, that is until, after I evaluated it, we discovered that the water of the spring had interesting properties to it. I ordered for this chamber to be the new project. Anyways, this is the fountain that I speak of. After numerous hours of studying in the Archives I found that in some places in the world, there are pockets where Mano collects and form into a cluster of physical being depending on the supporting element of the surrounding area. In this case, what you see is pure liquefied Mano. After further observations I learned two things about the fountain: One, the waters holds regenerative properties. Meaning that it replenishes your Mano when drink from it, even being in this room can replenish us; the second usage is that since it is connected to the water element, the fountain can be used to take us anywhere so longer as there is a body of fresh water to look and go through. It helps really helps, but I'm afraid it's a one way trip." Curtis held up the three bottles he took out and began to fill them with fountain water. He offered each of his friends a bottle full of the liquid, "Now, as to the first usage, here are what I call Life Bottles. They hold the properties of the fountain, but after many experiments they are flawed. You see they are one time usage. Use the bottle when you feel you are running low on Mano. You must drink the whole bottle on one go other wise it will it work. Drinking only half, or even sharing a little will do nothing as well, besides heal your thirst. There is another usage of the bottles... but I never the chance to test it... Maybe if the quest goes without a hitch, we might be able to find out." Curtis held the bottles up and made a final check before holding two of them up to Tarchon and Zihark, "Any questions?" He asked with a smile И^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ЦΦЦ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^N

'Force Specialist' Ratheonous
Diamond Serenity HP: 3400/3400 Mano: 400/400
Spells:
C rank: Clasp :Active
Shield: Ready
B rank: P&P: Ready
Ring: Ready
A rank: Barrier: Active/Ready
Dome: Active/Ready ╔════════════════╬════════════════╗ • Ratheonous kept staring into the pool of mano as Curtis began to explain about the fountain. The mano was just so entrancing. Even though his eyes were else where he was well aware of what was being explain. It was interesting that mano could take such a form and even be useable in it. How it was even possible was a little beyond him. Looking around the room a bit it did seem like an old place. Maybe this place was used to practice some old lost form of magic. At this point it was only speculation and nothing more. It be a good point of study for the future. "So if we were to talk basics this is a pound that can heal and be used to transport people places. Interesting...but seems a little farfetched even though I have heard stranger things. No reason to try to disprove it though. It is hard to count the times you have been wrong about things." He replied to Curtis before taking one of the bottle. Though if he explained it correctly then their was still one thing he could see wrong with it, at least in one aspect. The fountain maybe was able to transport people through it, but not coming back. Hopefully that was the case. Something this valuable was something the guild had to keep under wraps. Other wise they would surely make enemies over it. He took the cork off the bottle and took a small whiff of the stuff. Immediately he retracted back with an unpleasant look to him. The smell stung his nostrils a bit. "Yeah I sure hope that what your saying it true. Cause this stuff seems to have a funky scent to it." He commented before putting the cork back on. Opening up his coat he slid the bottle into a save pocket. ╚════════════════╬════════════════╝

Spells:
A rank: Locked
A rank: Active
B rank: Active
C rank: Active
SSS rank: Locked [==============[/strike]<+Λ+>==============] • Antikles just nodded and accepted what Curtis had to say about the fountain was the truth, though the fountain could be incredibly dangerous if it were to be abused, best to keep this place on a need to know basis. He took his flask that Curtis handed out to him and Ratheonous, looking at the sloshing fluid inside just for a moment before putting it inside one of his inner pockets of his robes. "Its good to enjoy the finer things in life Rath, but not everything is gonna taste like 'Valerian Wine.' Well, only time will tell if these Life Bottles work." He looked at the fountain skeptically, there were to many variables to the usage of this fountain which makes him uncomfortable to utilize it to say the least. "We are definitely gonna have to keep this fountain under lock and key if you all know what I mean. Restrict this information from not only other associates and participants in our guild but from ally guilds too."
It wasn't Antikles' styles to be so secretive but this was one of those exceptions, for all they know this eerie pond could have long term affects that none of them would know about. He is skilled to calculate possibilities in the long run, such was his trait that rightfully earned him the title of The Siege Master, he defiantly did belong here and to have companions such as Zihark and Balfour. "So, are you two gonna keep standing there and look pretty all day or what? Hahahaa!" [==============[/strike]<+V+>==============] Xcon299 Accel World is pretty intense actually, I like it! hahaha, already on Episode 13! emotion_awesome

But again, our Archives has been filled with knowledge from everywhere... But still, one can only imagine the other types of Mano clusters. This one was made into water because of the surrounding element." Curtis looked up to Tarchon and smirked, "Well, I only did a few experiments to see if the Mano Replenishment was plausible, but never really understood how it works with such perfect records. As for the lock and key, I am currently working on it. This discovery hasn't even been said to anyone else." He turned and began to wave his hand over the pool, "Now, as mentioned, the transportation is a one way and only connects to small bodies of fresh water. We tested it to a pond near the outskirts. Works great, worked out the bugs now I think... Now, we are going to the desert for the item required for the quest. I'll explain when we get there. I am going to make a connection with a fresh water pool in an oasis close to our destination." The images in the fountain changed to show the bright sun and a few palm trees within the water's reflection. Curtis turned his head to the others, "Hold on to those bottles... and hold your breath." He looked down at the water and jumped in. ((EXIT)) И^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ЦΦЦ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^N

Then again he already had a mug of ale before hand. No need to become tipsy before a journey. That would just result in disaster. Either way there was no point in waiting any longer. It was time to depart. He let Curtis go in first and watched him plummet into the glowing liquid. He then went over to the edge and starred down into it. The images below showed an oasis in the water. "Should of brought a towel....oh well." Taking in a breath he drove straight in. ╚════════════════╬════════════════╝

"Well Ratheon, lets get goin..." he stopped mid sentence as Zihark also disappeared from the chamber for he too stepped into the fountain. "Uhhhh... lets just get this over with, Hhuuuuuughhhhh!!!" he took a deep breath and dived into the fountain feet first with the supplies strapped to his back.
