Shiyobusa Summit is home to the age old spiritualists, monks and sometimes resting place to those that become immortal. This beautiful land was torn from the ground during the Jewel War by the Monks of Timol'bet, who in Non-magic Earth are now Tibetan Monks. It's a sanctuary to any and all who seek peace and good life. It is also were many artifacts and sacred items ect are kept. The hospitality of the Timol'betan Monks cannot be overshadowed, and neither can their knowledge and understanding of Occulas.

((i couldn't be bothered for more Lightcleavering haha))
Arriving at Shiyobusy Summit was quite spectacular. The Lightcleaver docked in the early evening when the sun was falling from the sky. But up here the air was surprisingly breathable, the clouds were close and made the sun's golden glow even more beautiful. Where the ship docked, they were landing on a small piece of land that floated connected by a grand rocky and golden bridge. Before them... great masses of land with great buildings and walls, statues and fountains. It was something you would only expect in your dreams.
Lucas was examining his scroll with a glimmer of shock across his eyes. But he quickly rolled it up and knocked on one of the walls to ask the team to come to the deck and witness there new home for the coming days ahead. This would be like a holiday, but also extra training.
'Team Elixer. It is my deepest pleasure to welcome you to Shiyobusa Summit, home of the Monks of Timol'bet.' Lucas said proudly. He then looked to R.E.D to assure she was still feeling good. And hopefully she would feel better than ever. A few days with the rest of the team, relaxing, and Lucas had explained as much as he could to her about the summit and the monks that live here. It was sometimes a resting place for those who served greatly in Magic Earth. The land here was torn up from the ground below it, causing it be be very much safer during the Jewel War. But most importantly. This was a tranquil place, where the winds spoke and you could learn to walk on water. Here... your concentration could never be more focused.

R.E.D. was asleep when Lucas announced that they had arrived. He told her everything about their new location, even whom the monks were. She stood up from her sleeping spot and let walked out onto the hover chunk of rocks. There was no doubt that the place was beautiful and peaceful. Lucas had been concerned for her along the way, but he could relax now because she was going to find. Still, she did have some more dreams on the ship, but left Lucas and the others out of the matter.
She wanted everyone to enjoy their time. She gave a small smile to Lucas as she glanced at her surroundings. It was different from the island. The girl felt safe and knew she would be cared for if she needed it.
R.E.D. looked at her teammates to see how they were holding up. They were more excited than she was to get the news so right now they were probably ready to explode from excitement.

Laxion and Alexis stared around in awe, there were giant, floating rocks, topped with a min kingdom. Well, they knew some impossible things, but an entire floating settlement of such age! This was unfathomable! 'It's beautiful' said Alexis, looking up tot he center island, where the great citadel was placed. Laxion was gazing at the floating tower at the other end. He wondered what was inside.
A sudden glow came from the clouds above them, it was as golden as the sun before them, behind the misty clouds. It shot down and hit the bridge like a liquid-like sunlight of amber. The light continued to streams against the ground until a bald figure was completely formed and stood up. 'Welcome' an aged and wise voice then said. The man looked sincere, like he couldn't even hurt a butterfly.
He was dressed in naturally coloured robes of amber, brown and cream. They looked intricately designed too. The wrinkles on his face carved life to his friendly personality. 'I'm sure you know where you are' the wise man said. Laxion nodded and said 'Thank you for letting us stay with you' and bowed slightly, the others then followed. Lucas couldn't help but have a pleased expression on his lips. 'My name is Lysander' you couldn't see the wise man's lips move, for a neatly trimmed beard and mustache covered them. 'I'll be your guide around our summit'

Out of curiosity, R.E.D. wanted to know if the chunks of earth moved, but at the moment they looked glued into place. What if the rocks did move and suddenly the summit was thrown off balance? There was a lot of expensive pottery around and statues that seemed of valuable worth. Hopefully, she didn't accidentally break anything while she was there. She had a small habit of destruction and collateral damage. Alexis and Laxion were so intrigued by the citadel and towers, but why? Sure the architecture was beautiful, but they looked like any other buildings that would be on the ground. Of course, they knew way more about that place than she did, and she only knew what Lucas told her.
R.E.D.'s eyes suddenly caught the stream of light shining down onto the bridge. She squinted her eyes before noticing a figure appear. Was he there the whole time or did he fall from the sky like an angel? Regardless, she bowed to him in respect like Lucas had told her to do.
The monk was a kind hearted soul that looked like he never had a day of tragedy in his life. Maybe this monk could tell her what her dreams mean and why she keeps having them. She made a mental note to ask at the end of the tour. Hopefully, it wouldn't be a long one because she wanted answers now. [Air Bending!]

With such a warm welcome, the team felt enlightened. Alexis was perhaps the most excited, this was the best place to ever come if you wanted to hone your concentration skills... and... and that could lead her to become as powerful as Merlin! Well, it was a long shot.. but as strong as Merlin? That's crazy!
Laxion was very impressed with the whole area, he knew about the Monks, and he just felt honoured to have been invited to train here. Lucas however spoke quietly to Lysander and said 'thank you again for this. However i do hope it is not too inappropriate for me leave for a short while? I have to visit the court' and soon enough Lysander smiled graciously to him and said 'Of coarse, of coarse. I'll have the team settled down before you get back'.
Lucas then turned to the others and said 'I shall be back as soon as possible, i just need to speak with the Court of Absolution, duty calls' he then gave them a 'cool' salute gesture to say goodbye. Alexis was about to say 'You're leaving so' but she couldn't finish spirals of light gathered around him. He looked up to the sky and and his entire body shot up light a dusty ball of light into the sky. The magic worked with such speed that it looked more like a solid bar of misty light vanquishing the clouds above.
Only the best trained in Occulas learned how to teleport without a functioning portal. And of coarse the portals are very rarely known to be created these days. Ones at Entei are centuries old. But all those requiring to enter the court must be able to teleport, there's no other way inside.

R.E.D. was disappointed to know that Lucas had to leave. She didn't want him to go, but his duties were important. Lucas had become like a father figure to her and she had gone attached to him as well as her new team. At least they were still here, and if she got lost she could ask them questions. The female watched as Lucas vanished in the light and turned to the monk. She stepped up beside Laxion and Alexis looking around.
The albino stepped to the side and accidentally hit something. When she turned a vase swirled and before R.E.D. could grab for it it fell over and shattered. The albino bit her bottom lip and scooted over to where Alexis was. She whistled and pointed to the girl acting like it was her fault. Not even five minutes there, and already she manages to break something... meaning Alexis "broke it". (I hope this is funny too)
Maybe the monk wouldn't notice. He looked old and hard of hearing so she could be in the clear.

 Laxion Asmodius Corps
Just after Lucas had left, Laxion heard the small shatter of a piece of pottery. Glancing around he saw R.E.D walking passed ad beside Alexis. He raised a brow and saw the connection. He then quickly looked to Lysander quickly, hoping he didn't notice, already feeling guilty for R.E.D.
'Oh dear' Lysander then said, gazing down at the broken pot. He then went on to say 'meh... its a common jar' he then glimpsed his eyes passed R.E.D. That way he let her know that he knew, but that she needn't be so embarrassed. In fact, he had a grin to his face as he said so. 'The darn wind up here is so strong sometimes' he then said almost chuckling. Laxion couldn't help but NEED to say there was no wind... but held his tongue.
'So' Lysander began, half squinting eyes peering over to them with a smile. 'If you would like to follow me, i'll be glad to take you to the hall where you can eat, drink, entertain yourselves and so forth. But first there is someone who would like to speak with you!' he turned around with his hands behind his waste and began walking over the grand bridge.
Then as they began to cross, a rather large rock with a small building on it and a bridge hanging off one side slowly passed under the bridge. 'Oh, don't worry! Sometimes our land goes rogue, but more specifically it seems that one particularly likes to take a wander... a bit like the stairs of Hogwarts might i say?' he was now trying to relate to the younger people, knowing they would probably have read or watched Harry Potter. Even Lysander and the other monks here kept in touch with Non-magic Earth. A lot of people did.

She knew Laxion was glancing at her which made her red with embarrassment. At least Alexis didn't see R.E.D. accusing her of breaking the pottery. R.E.D. was waiting for the monk to start raging and flipping over tables, but instead he walked over to the pot and blamed it on the wind. However, there was no wind up there so why didn't he become angry? Though, the monk knew it was her and she felt rather childish for trying to blame it on someone else. She hid her face in shame waiting for the monk to distance himself from them.
This guy seemed way to happy for his own good. Was he taking some depression pills to make himself happy? If she was that content all the time, she assumed she would go insane. At least the monk showed mercy on her which was always a good sign.
The albino followed the monk slowly making sure not to break anything else. The sound of food was making her mouth water, and she wanted nothing more than to eat. Sure was the sin, Gluttony, and maybe she should change her name to that. The female would certainly live up to her new name indeed.
Suddenly, a floating rock glided under the bridge they were walking across. The monk made a comparison to some movie called Harry Potter. She had never seen the movie, but had heard about it. She grew up on the streets and never watched movies unless she was able to sneak into the local theater. Although, she would start to toss and turn in the theater seat before the movie even began. The monk had a sense of humor, and she liked that. He was able to relate well with the younger generation.

 Entei ((afraid this will will also be bare... NONE of my buttons are showing up, do yours?)) As Lysander took them over to the other side of the bridge, one man walked closer from the distance. At first it was hard to tell exactly who he was. Laxion presumed it would be another monk, but this guy had longer hair. He thought they all had shaved heads... perhaps he was wrong. As the closer got slightly closer, Alexis looked over the man, she could make out white long hair. And as he slowly got closer she seemed to recognise the face. At first it was hard... and then the penny dropped. The middle-aged man walked closer and he was nothing like the monks. He does however seem to have a sword hanging by his side. Then Alexis gasped! Laxion quickly looked to her, but she shook her head and said 'no, its nothing' quietly as to ignore her. She wouldn't believe it. No, it couldn't be. This man looked exactly like one of the founders of the Arcaz Sovereignty. Entei, the great magician that created the use for Arcane Crystals... She forced the thought down. But even Laxion started questioning himself as to why this man looked familiar. Only poor Red might not understand this revelation. As the man stopped before them, he looked up and looked at them in the eyes. Lysander then turned around and said 'ah, yes. Well. This, is who more specifically asked if we would arrange for you to come here to our summit. Of coarse... we are more than happy to have you living with us! But Entei here is the one that personally requested you' he finished with an all knowing grin. That sort of grin that showed he knew these guys just realised something. This was that Entei. And Lysander knew it. And by now, he was sure even R.E.D would know. It was basic education for anyone at an academy to learn the history of the guilds, except that of coarse of the forgotten guild.

(None of my buttons are showing up either. I have to write everything. I thought it was just me having this problem.) A man with long white hair was walking towards the group and this made R.E.D. cautious. She assumed that all the monk's heads were shaved and that this man was an intruder. Quickly, she placed her guns together revealing her blade. She noticed Laxion and Alexis expression, and thought that they were terrified instead of surprised. However, everything came clear when Lysander turned to the strange male and greeted him. He was a guest?
R.E.D. sighed, putting her weapons away. She was literally about to attack the famous Entei. She had to roll her eyes at herself for being so overly defensive. R.E.D. listened to the monk and was confused as to why this great magician would request for them. She had never meet him so how could he know who they were? Maybe Alexis and Laxion knew him? The albino remembers seeing his picture in text books at Hope Academy, but never thought much of it.
The girl had almost attacked Entei, and all she could do was stare at him dumbfounded. When she attended Hope, the headmaster would most train her on her skills. Attending a lecture on history was very rare, and she never understood as much as the other students. She knew who he was by looking at him, but he was mostly a blank slate to her. He was famous...and a magician...and that was all she knew.
The least she could do was show some respect. Bowing low, she didn't dare look at him. The girl felt nervous and unsure. She prayed that Alexis and Laxion had a different prospective on the matter.

Entei ((i just checked and seems the problem has been flagged in the forums razz )) 'Hello' Entei said softly. his blue eyes were like looking into the heart of an Arcane Crystal back in the city of his name sake. 'No need to look so shocked' he then said. 'Bu-but' Alexis shook her head. 'forgive me for... for saying this but your... you... died?' 'You see... i never really died, the monks of Timol'bet wanted me to join them here, and ever since i've taken a low profile. Very few people know im alive...' 'But, why here.... and not in Occulas? asked Laxion, trying not to be rude. 'Because if i leave the summit, im afraid i'll be as old as Merlin' he joked slightly. And then Alexis just had to double check. 'Wait, wait. So. You ARE Entei, the one, the only Entei that continued Merlin's followers to the guild that is, and that im a part of today?' and Entei nodded. She then looked over him in another gaze of disbelief. This was her guild's creator, or one of them anyway! 'I'm nothing more than an equal to you here' he then said. 'It's nice to have finally met you three. Ever since i came here, i waited for the day that young heroes such as yourselves would appear again. I know, that with all my experience, peace is always going to be disrupted. And nothing is the same as it used to be. But me and the monks think we need something a bit... old fashioned. And i would like to teach you all, with the monk's aid just as they had helped me when i was young, to become better peacekeepers. '

(That's good. I seriously thought it was just my computer because it does mess up a lot.) Wait a minute. R.E.D. straightened up and examined the male completely confused. They were talking to a dead guy that really never died? She really should have paid attention in the few history lectures she attended. She wanted to feel as shocked as Laxion and Alexis, but she wasn't. Was this guy for real or was he just an illusion? What if this was a test from the monks? They couldn't trust this man, could they?
R.E.D. walked up to Entei poking his chest a couple of times with her clawed armor hand. "You feel real." The girl said out loud. This was embarrassing, here she was poking the magician to confirm that he is in fact real. Wow. Were the others going to shun her for touching the one and only Entei? "I don't understand. If your the greatest magician ever, why do you need us? And you said you've been waiting for us. Exactly, how long have you known who we are? Is there a legend or some crap like that?" Really charming. R.E.D. was basically making a fool of herself. She sounded disrespectful, but all she wanted was answers. It made her angry that everyone around here knew certain things, and she was left in the dark. Plus history had never been a strong point of hers.

Entei As the young pale girl walked up to him and began poking him in the chest, he narrowed his eyes to her in confusion. 'uh' he paused, but she continued to ask questions. Alexis and Laxion stared at her as if to say what the heck is she doing. But old Lysander just seemed to chuckle at them. Entei smiled and took a step back and replied 'I can't stay here, avoiding death forever... and i want to be able to pass on mine, and Merlin's knowledge to the next generation. I haven't been waiting for a prophecy, no; he shook his head. 'I chose you three. From up here in the summit, the Monks see everything. And i witnessed you three, along with Lucas, not only fend off the forces of the Scarred. But do you three realise you killed one of the lords of Hell that day?' He paused, Laxion and Alexis, and probably even red were faced with confusion. 'I thought' began laxion. But Entei then said 'you thought that woman was a simple leader? No, she was En'radial, the Maiden of Torment. She once ruled over the very depths of Hatred. Even i had thought that Merlin destroyed her and the Crimson Jewel... but after seeing what you three accomplished... i begin to think about what could happen if another war broke out? Or worse... and 2nd Jewel War? We need prepared heroes like you. '

The male stepped back and R.E.D. blushed in embarrassment. How unreasonable could she be? She stepped back and made her way behind Alexis and Laxion hoping they would shield her from her own stupidity. The albino listened, and received the answers she wanted from the magician in just a few short sentences. He knew about them from the monks and he's been waiting for them so he can pass on Merlin's knowledge. Was he going to die then after he gives his gift? She was about to ask another question, but restrained herself before Entei brought up El ' radial.
The one and only Maiden of Torment, and they defeated her. That's impossible, isn't it? They were elite soldiers, but to go against Hell itself and live to tell the tale was a different matter. R.E.D. was just as shocked as her companions. She could truly call herself a hero because of what she heard, but for how long. Every hero falls short because of faults, and she was no exception to this matter. Entei went on about how another war could break out, but could they manage to defeat entire armies. R.E.D. wasn't sure about Alexis and Laxion, but she could feel the pressure of what is expected from them on her shoulders. She wouldn't have to bare this weight alone which was a good thing.
