Geno slowly walked up holding a paper in his hand. " so i need to clear the lawn?" Geno smiled behind his bandages at the thought of such an easy job, yet something felt ..off. Geno shrugged as a kid walked past giving scared glances at the lawn geno grabbed him. " what wrong kid?" the kid looked at geno then back at the lawn. " let me go man i don't wanna be around when it wakes up" geno looked strangely at the kid as he went to ask a question geno saw the kids eyes widen as a large vine slammed broad side into geno throwing him a** over head a few times. Geno stood up shakily as he looked towards the lawn, genos eye almost digging looking for who had controlled the vine. Geno dropped his bag and unsheathed his sword, he had a feeling this wasn't going to be as easy as he had thought. Geno headed into the tall grass slowly, geno didn't feel right when he turned another vine shot at him, he used the blade to slice the vine while he was thrown back. Geno hit the ground hard as he breathed roughly, what was he up against? who ever was or what ever was out here had it out for anyone who wanted to get to the house. Geno stood his ground as another attack came he side stepped it slashing the vine just to have another vine hit his side throwing him into a small clearing with a rather large plant. Geno stood as the plant moved circling the clearing with vines geno used the blade to remain on his feet, the plant knew why he was here it had to be that magic fertilizer he used. Geno was breathing roughly as he ready to attack, the sound of vines moving echoed all around as geno dashed at the massive plant. as geno was about to slash a group of vines wound together to make a massive vine even by these standards. Geno tried to cut it but the back of the blade hit him and he was launched into the ground hard. the plant wound together another set of vines and started to use both of them to continue to hit geno into the ground, geno laid there being beaten motionless filled with pain. he was fading into darkness into the after life when his breathing slowed he was tired, tha twas when geno heard it that voice he has missed for such a long time.
" STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR ARE MY CHILD YOU ARE NOT GIVEN THE LUXURY OF GIVING IN!!!!!!!!!!!!" Geno was in the darkness when he spoke. " in not strong enough father " there was a roar in the darkness as geno shuddered he heard the voice filled with anger. " THEN STAND AND USE MY POWER THE POWER I GAVE YOU MY SON!!!!!"
genos hand shot up grabbing the vine stopping it dead as he stood his body was shaking his voice rough and his eye glowed a dark red as he spoke. " roar of the... IRON DRAGON" geno inhaled deeply and let loose a massive blast of dragon slayer magic ripping into the vines and the main plant slashing it to ribbons as it fell geno took another deep breath and let loose another roar this time turning as he turned the grass was being shredded. Geno stopped as the house became clear the yard now under control as he walked up and stood by the door and beat on it his pierced face visible his body shaking in pain. geno waited to collect his reward and left without a word. ( exit geno) 610 words
Geno has Cleared this mission. He has received the reward.

"Oh this should be easy enough they said, it would be a walk in the park they said, It's like taking candy from a baby they said."
Crowley grumbled to himself standing with a rather pissed off look on his face, It seems he might have underestimated his task a little bit. after all he was being dragged by his feet all across a disgusting yard full of tall grass by his feet from what appeared to be some sort of living tentacle monster! The large vine or tentacle that was firmly wrapped around Crowley's leg swept upwards taking Crowley high above the tall grass, then almost abruptly slammed him against the dirt. This process happened over... and over... and over... and over for a time until Crowley was nothing more then a discombobulated puddle.
"This thing is really getting on my goddamn last fuc-! Don't swear Aleister it's unbecoming of you..."
Crowley staggered to his feet and glared as the forest of tentacle vines that is his enemy he smirked, as magic began to accumulate in his finger tips. Suddenly he fired a barrage of tiny water bullets that looked like a swarm of Piranhas that with almost no difficultly ripped through the vines turning them into Swiss cheese. Soon after he rushed into the yard ripping each vine out of the ground like it was a weed, thanks to the Piranhas the grass was nice and short so he could easily see now that the problem was some sort of curse seal, Crowley tried to punch it to see if it would break but it repealed his fist, perhaps magic would do the trick again. He held his shoulder firm as his water magic formed some sort of ball around his fist, He then reached way back and brought his hand down like a hammer and an image of a shark eating the curse seal appeared just be for a explosion of energy leaving Crowley standing in a small hole in the newly formed swamp that used to be someone's lawn. He looked around and smirked.
"Oh well it's someone else's problem now, where's my money!"
The water mage said as he walked off like with was a regular occurrence to him.

Her belly full and her wallet empty Elly's goal was to take the simplest job she could find. She looked over the board full of posters and found one that sounded especially simple, "Gardening?" There were other jobs that paid more, a couple that seemed to reward her with more money than she'd ever had....but those all seemed to require a bit more effort, not to mention some seemed dangerous. She snagged the request for a gardener and headed out of Lamia Scale.
The address wasn't far off but her sense of direction was poorer than most and she was unfamiliar with the city. She immediately left in the opposite direction of the man's house, not questioning where she was actually going. In all honesty the fruit stand she'd worked at before she came to Lamia Scale was just on the outskirts of town, she could have walked to the guild hall in a couple hours....yet it took her a couple of days. She was truly just lucky that she'd stayed inside the city limits else she might have never found it. This was that all over again, luckilly though she managed to stumble upon it in only a few hours of being abysmally lost.
Elly rounded the corner to find the man camped out in front of his house, having been unable to reach his front door. She showed him the sheet of paper and he almost jumped for joy, "You're a guild mage then? Thank goodness you're here!" Elly nodded and showed him her guild stamp as proof that she was a guild mage, "Just so I'm clear, did you only need me to cut your grass?" The man gave her a ponderous look, "W-Well yes, just look at it! Cut it, shear it, tear it out! Hell you can eat it for all I care, I just need to be able to get into my house again!" Elly looked at the grass, as if seeing it for the first time, "Just get rid of the grass? I can do that..."
She seemed to have picked a simple job for herself, just get rid of the grass, she'd done that before on numerous occasions by accident, doing it on purpose should prove delightfully simple.....though he did say she could eat it....was grass edible? Well certainly some grasses were. Was this one of them? She sat there pondering the edibility of the grass for a solid five minutes with a hungry look on her face before the man called out to her, "Um...miss? are you alright? please, it's going to get dark soon..."
He was absolutely right, eating it would take much too long, this man needed her help, she would just take care of it the way she originally planned to. Elly frees her right hand from her enormous sleeve and places it within the forest of grass and a moment later black flames were engulfing the field. Within a minute the man's front yard was ablaze with black, otherworldly fire...it seemed to unsettle him, "W-What are you doing!? You're gunna burn my house down!" Elly dismissed him with a glance and then back to her work.
It was only about five minutes before the last strand of grass smoldered out, leaving the man's yard an ashen desolation. His house was fine though, the only casualty was marked by the charred remnants of a garden gnome. The man fell to his knees and scooped a handful of ash, the remnants of his precious lawn, he'd wanted to make it more beautiful but this was what he got for it. He complained at Elly, asking if she really had to burn it down but she insisted she fulfilled his requirements. In the end, despite his complaints about her methods he paid Elly and sent her on her way...the wrong way...it'd be hours before she ended up back at the guild hall.
