deedee Hikari With Enigma doing the next to final challenge, he was waiting to hear back from Dee to see if she wanted to do another mission with him. There was also another person that interested Enigma, a woman named Hikari whom he met in Paris during the time that he was catching up a bit with. Enigma wanted to test her prowess to see if she was a good fit for the guild, so this was a good time as to secretly treat it like a test. Enigma would butt in when he needed to, but he was going to take it easy this time around. At the end of the day, it would he hikari's decision as to what she would want to do.

Hikari turned her attention towards the road ahead. She checked her items, making sure that everything was still in order, before taking her next few steps. She was enticed by the prospect of what this new mission could bring. After all, this zone was mostly new to her. And the fact that there was an event going on made this even more interesting. The Paris event had been quite well done, and she knew that the rewards for this event might just be the same.
[break][break]
Murakumo materialized in front of her, and she deftly took hold of its body. Its sheathe had not changed at all. The sleekness of its exterior made for quite the sight, though its most eye-catching feature was its ornate pommel. She cherished her weapon, with it having been a part of her repertoire for a bit now. Even then, her three swords, Shotsuren, Daitsuren, and Kenmyoren, were all still floating behind her. They were her constant companions.
[break][break]
Slowly drawing closer to where she had been prompted to go, Hikari found herself smiling and bowing to the man waiting by a gate of sorts. "Mister Enigma. I hope everything has been well on your end?" She paused, before continuing, "We are in your and Dee Dee's care today." Dee Dee was set to arrive too, she knew. With both Enigma and Dee Dee, Hikari was sure that they would be just fine.

Dee Dee cam flying in on her star with all her summons, Currently she had Ton in her friend shaped charm so she was getting a boost from him, but on top of that she had BombDee, Kramer, and this time her new Summon Geist were all out and as she landed they got off the star and she waved to Enigma and Hikari as she walked over and gave them both a Tomato "Please accept this greeting Tomato" the word bubble came up as she handed one to each summon, even Geist seemed to enjoy it somehow as Dee Dee looked over the gate then to Enigma giving another thumbs up. "So in the maze I have an ability that will stop us from going the wrong way, so let me lead, though it may be a bit loud, as for the maze itself, I am not sure if we are going to the same one, I have heard rumors that say even going through the same portal doesn't take you to the same place, The good news is I can get a general Idea of where you are if we get separated" She gave another thumbs up as her Word bubble finished informing them. with that She looked to Enigma "Are we doing any spectral investigations while we are doing this?" she asked as she looked at the mission listing.

deedee Hikari As Enigma turned to face his two arrivals, anticipation filled the air. He addressed them with a welcoming smile, appreciating their presence for the impending debriefing. "I'm glad you both could make it," he began, his gaze first settling on Hikari. "Our last encounter was in Paris, but I missed you at the grand opening event in New York. Even if you weren't considering joining our guild, you were always welcome to join us for a drink and some live music."
Turning his attention to Dee Dee, Enigma acknowledged her age with a knowing nod. "I understand you're not of drinking age, Dee Dee, so champagne was out of the question. However, they did have sparkling apple cider on offer for you. So, even though I'm a tad disappointed neither of you showed up, I suppose you can make it up to me during this mission."With formalities aside, Enigma delved into the heart of the matter, sharing the vital information he'd gathered during the expansive expedition commitment he'd undertaken as a Sigma Guild member. "The increase in dimensional anomalies and the emergence of intelligent creatures have been key factors shaping the current situation," he explained, his tone carrying a sense of gravitas . "We won't know the full extent until we venture inside, but Dee Dee has prepared a contingency plan. Now, let's dive in and follow my lead."
Taking the initiative, Enigma led his companions through the portal, emerging into a lush, vibrant green forest that exuded a profound sense of serenity. The atmosphere was palpably different, even in the way the air felt as they inhaled it. Enigma remained vigilant, though, as he scanned their new surroundings. "Is everyone feeling alright?" he inquired, ensuring that they were ready for whatever awaited them in this captivating but mysterious realm. In brief moment, Enigma then took out his spider drone and sent it out to do some scouting. "Let's wait for it to come back before we move on. I want to get a small map of this place. "used
spider drone A small drone that is shaped like a spider. Three times a thread for two posts each, you can send the spider out to spy on others. The spider will be able to move at your [SPD] +1 and will be unnoticeable with those who have [WIL] lower than C-rank. The spider will relay the information it sees and hears in real time to you!

Hikari bowed towards Enigma, apologetically responding, "I apologize for my non-attendance, Mister Enigma." She smiled towards him, "I got just a bit busy, and was not aware that you had an opening event." Perhaps she should be more active in using the various messaging and posting systems that are available to her now. "I'll be sure to visit the next time I am in New York." She acquiesced.
[break][break]
Speaking of, what Enigma had talked of was something she had already experienced, though she wasn't sure if what she and Akane had experienced would be the same as what they would be experiencing. She would keep quiet for now, truly curious as to how this whole mission would go, especially with their investigation. Will they see demons once more? Or mayhaps it was a different sort of species this time?
[break][break]
Hikari followed through, having nodded to both Dee Dee and Engima. They both had skillsets that were useful in this case. Her? She knew she did best during combat, though she was sure both Enigma and Dee Dee could more than match her, if not more powerful. This was a good chance to measure her own powers, and perhaps learn from others as well, especially from Enigma.
[break][break]
"I'm feeling alright." She started, before looking around at their surroundings. "That is a very useful item, Mister Enigma." Distracted by the flying bot. "You say you can make a map using that?" Now that was certainly a very useful item. Perhaps someday she might be able to amass a collection of more supplementary items herself. "What was the skill that you had, Dee Dee?" She turned to the woman, taking a small bite of the tomato handed to her.

Dee Dee blinked she hadn't gotten a message of invitation had she? She looked through her friend messages and seen it there and blinked a bit then she took out a Tomatonator out of her Inventory and walked over to Enigma and handed it to him "I am sorry I didn't attend I hope this Tomatonator makes up for it" the Word bubble said though the girls face was as expressionless as usual as she then listened to the mission brief that Enigma had prepared for them, it seemed he did quite a bit of work on background info at least and she Gave a thumbs up as she followed him into the portal. On the other side was much much different then what she had seen the last time she went through a portal as she assumed it would be from the rumors she was hearing about the place, but looking over to Enigma it seemed he already had a plan to map some of it without them going to do it themselves and so she gave a thumbs up to the idea, that would really help and when combined with her skill would mean they would be able to find their way that much faster, every time they hit the edge he could send out the spider again for more information so it would all do well. Looking to Hikari due to her Question Dee Dee's Word bubble popped up "Oh it's a skill that will alert me if I am going the wrong way when I have a destination set, this time it's set the location of the guardian who is at the center of the maze, if I go in a suboptimal path it will alert me, and anyone around me that we are going the wrong way and to go a different way, it's quite handy for things like this! but if it's a location that's to vague then it won't work, so this maze of trees and greenery won't be to much of an issue!" she gave a thumbs up and nodded as her summons got their gear handed out to them. BombDee got the combat armor. Kramer got the Ruby Collar, and Geist got the duckstalker to keep him hidden if needed later Dee Dee put on her new Punk Tsunami Bracers and then got her other gear and nodded, this would be quite helpful gear and so she waited taking out her metal folding chair to take a seat while she waited for the Drone to return.

deedee HikariStoring the Tomatonator in his inventory, Enigma would keep focus on the map for the time being as he multitasked. "It's alright, maybe I was lacking in terms of being able to send a proper invitation to people that matter to me. I'll take responsibility for how that occurred. "As for the map comment, Enigma elaborated. "It relays the information it sees as a spying mechanism. It's as fast as me and has a stealth-based capability attached to it, perfect for espionage. With how I can build a map, with the direction it went and what it can see, it makes preconceived markings on the map like this. " Enigma would then show the map that they had access to, which was a little more detailed since they had a scout. "It also had a real-time feed, and with it, we can see....oh?"Bringing up the real-time feed, Enigma shared it with the rest of the group. The current image showed an elven boy talking to an animal. "Looks like I know where we are, elves. This is a forest of elves. Time to decide, he might be alone, he might not. Should we approach to make first contact after observing?"

Hikari turned to Dee Dee, still nibbling on the tomato that was given to her. The skill was interesting, though there were some things she was curious about. "Are you able to set a location without knowing where your target is? I am supposing that you don't know the layout of this place, and therefore would not truly know where the guardian is. If that is so, then the skill is certainly one to keep in handy." She mused.
[break][break]
"That drone is also quite brilliant." Hikari nodded, watching as the man turned what he was holding to them, revealing the elf that he had been talking about. She watched the elf speak to the animal, as though he knew what the bird was saying, and the bird knew what he was saying. How curious!
[break][break]
She thought about it a moment. Perhaps approaching was a good idea, but then again, they might scare the elf away. Mayhaps, they might even attract the unwanted attention of the elves who live here, and be driven away before they could complete their mission.
[break][break]
"I feel that we should first observe, before approaching." She watched the elf with fascination. "Perhaps we can gain more information this way, before risking any contact." Perhaps they could even follow the elf, and maybe they could learn how to best show that they were friendly. "What do you both think?" Hikari was happy to let the both of them take the lead. She would learn more this way.

"Yes I can set a destination as long as it's an actual one, so I have to want to get somewhere, so it makes it rather useless for random exploration, but for things like mazes? It's extremely useful!" she gave a thumbs up as her Word Bubble explained a bit more, it really was quite a handy ability, some might considering it a skill that isn't the best, but Dee Dee felt different since it could be useful in cases like this, and when Exploring randomly it was always good to have something that could help you get back to where you were before which this skill would be good for. Looking over to Enigma as he was scouting with the Drone Dee Dee was glad they had decided to let him explore with it first since it would make later explorations that much easier, and then Enigma turned the screen he was looking at around as showed them what the Drone had located. He had mentioned elves and it seemed it was correct, Though Dee Dee was at least glad that unlike Fantasy elves these ones shouldn't be the cause of any issues of plaguing the world like Elves in Fantasy works, it was funny now she thought about it how her parents pointed that out to her when she was younger that elves were massive trouble makers in almost any fantasy story even some Sci-fi ones. Looking back to the screen the child seemed to be talking to a bird, and it seemed to understand, she then looked to Hikari as she suggested simply observing for now and Dee Dee agreed Enigma also suggested that as a course of action and Dee Dee was all for making sure they had more info, and so she took out her notebook to take notes while they studied them from this distance through the drone, after all it was the goal of Utopia to get along with new species of the world and if Elves were one of them and they could be traded with and made friends with then all the better! And the first step to that was to understand them at least a little. "I agree we should watch for now, we don't know if the thing they system, does to translate our words will work with the Elves, if it does that would be great, but if it doesn't it would be best to know that before we go try to talk to them, so observing for now is best, after learning enough to not appear threatening we should then try to meet with them!" the Word bubble presented what she wanted to say as she was ready to take notes.

deedee Hikari Acknowledging his companions with a nod, Enigma retrieved the spider drone and inspected it for any signs of damage or malfunction, finding it to be in satisfactory condition. He then activated his invisibility and proceeded toward the direction where he had previously spotted the child. "If language is the barrier," he began, his voice carrying through the communication system, "I have a means of communication."
Guided by Enigma's unseen presence, he led his two companions, ready to make their first contact with the inhabitants of this realm. Enigma advised them to utilize their party system to maintain their connection, emphasizing the importance of establishing a friendly rapport with these unknown beings. They knew neither the location of the elven village nor if they would ever return here by random teleportation, making this initial contact a critical step. After twenty minutes of walking south, they found themselves once again in the vicinity of the boy, but this time, he was not alone. Other elven children were present, engaged in a playful game with a ball. "Hm..."
Enigma deactivated his stealth, prompting the elven children to freeze in their tracks, clearly startled by the sudden appearance of the strangers. They exchanged words in a language that the system struggled to translate seamlessly, breaking it into disjointed fragments. "I can't make out much of what they're saying, hold on," Enigma relayed to his companions. To bridge the language barrier, Enigma retrieved vials of the elixir of the serpent's tongue, offering one to Dee Dee and one to Hikari. As he sipped from his own vial, he addressed the children. "There? Better? Can you understand me now?"
The reaction was immediate and filled with curiosity. The elven children marveled at the newcomers, commenting on their height and appearance. "Wow! He speaks our language, and he's tall, just like that lady! The little one too!""Yeah, I thought they'd taken one of us hostage, with the other one. She looks a bit like us."
"She's pretty. Are you sure she won't harm us?"Enigma's friendly smile seemed to alleviate their apprehension, and one of the children approached to examine the newcomers more closely. "Did you come from the astral portal? Are you lost?" the child inquired, the same one they had previously encountered with the bird. "We can't allow strangers into the village, so I can't bring you there," the young elf added cautiously. used

Hikari followed in the footsteps of his companions. After all, she had reason to stay behind. She was just as curious about these people as the rest of her group was. In fact, she was glad that she was encountering a different species this time. Her encounter with the Demons was not one she would like to repeat. Or perhaps she would, though in better circumstances at least.

Dee Dee's item was certainly very useful, although it would prove less useful if one of their objectives was to observe these elves. Getting to the Guardian might just be easier if they have the elves help them. They might just know where this Guardian is, and perhaps even can lead them on a path that is much safer. Even more so, they just might be able to provide them aid!
[break][break]
Getting to the elves was easy, talking to them, now that was another challenge. It was only well and good that Enigma had the vials which he had handed out, giving her the ability to communicate with them.
[break][break]
"I feel honoured that you would think that I am one of you." She would bow towards them, a soft smile on her face as she continued. "I assure you, we mean no harm. In fact..." Hikari waved her hand, and her sword immediately fell back, pointed themselves down and away from the elves. "We would love to learn more about you, although we are also here to seek the guidance nd wisdom of the Guardian." She paused, looking expectantly at the elves as she awaited their response.

It seemed they were in agreement on observing and talking to the elves, and as they watched a bit Enigma finally decided they should go in, the whole time Dee Dee was writing on her notepad all the things to take note of from what she was seeing on the drone, that is until Enigma brought it back, picked it up and then they were off to go talk to the Elves it would seem, Though Dee Dee was a bit worried about language barriers, Dee Dee unsummoned Kramer and Geist since they could be seen as scary and kept BombDee out since who could find such an adorable little Waddle-dee scary? and she followed along after Enigma. It took some time for that to happen as well but that was to be expected what with the distance they needed to travel carefully to make sure they didn't attract any attention from monsters in the area, the forest seemed a nice place, it looked healthy and vibrant and there was an abundance of animals around in the trees and around them, so it felt nice and relaxing, though Dee Dee did keep on guard a bit to make sure no monsters were around just in case. Then they got to where the child was and they had been joined by more in the time they had taken to get there looking over to them they seemed scared at first but that made sense, people came out of seemingly nowhere after all, and they talked in a language the system was having issues with, in fact they could barely understand them except for a few fragmentary words but not enough to even figure out what was being said by words along, but body language helped piece a bit of that together. Then Tommy gave her a vial and she watched him drink it and so she did as well and that cleared up the problem quickly. It was then from beside her Dee Dee heard a voice and she looked over at Hikari as the woman asked a question though it would seem the elven children thought She and Hikari were one of them, this caused Dee Dee to blink a moment till she realized most of them where close to her height, she blinked a few more times before walking a bit closer and the word bubble popped up "would you like a greeting Tomato?" a few other elven children looked to Dee Dee a moment before giggling a bit at the word bubble and one came over and took the tomato before running back to their friends and they started whispering. Well things seemed to be going well though Dee Dee overhead a bit of what was being whispered. "I think that one is a halfling...""they are small enough maybe?""I thought halflings were taller then that?"and so on and Dee Dee blinked a bit before looking back to Tommy and Hikari then to BombDee who had apparently taken a Tomato out of her inventory and was happily nibbling away at it before realizing he was being looked at, the Waddle-dee then looked back to Dee Dee then to the nibbled tomato before breaking it in half and offering half to Dee Dee, she simply took it and nibbled away on it as well as the conversation with the Elves continued, though she did start to take notes again.

"The guardian? That giant tree is around here somewhere. " Pointing over in a particular direction, the young elven boy that seemed to be the leader of the band of kinds gave a few directions. " It's not just you people that we have to be careful about when it comes to the portals. We also had a few unwelcome visitors when it started, so for your own sake to not seem like an invader, this meet and greet should end here. The older elves won't be too talkative, but I showed some mercy due to you dragging around a halfling." He was talking about Dee Dee this time, which was what Enigma figured as soon as he got the information. However, he did want to know what issues they were having.
"Hey tall lady, play with us!"They guided Hikari to the left side of the forest for a bit to play catch while the other ones examined Dee Dee.
"Can you draw? Are you some sort of halfling painter back home?" However, while they were distracted, Enigma started asking some serious questions.
"What exactly happened? Who were the previous visitors?" The elven boy looked at Enigma as if he was mulling it over before sharing the information.
"We are at war with the Dwarkens," he revealed, eyes darting around to ensure no prying ears overheard their conversation. "The Dwarkens are a subterranean species of sentient, cave-dwelling creatures. They have always been our neighbors, but recent tensions have escalated into a full-blown conflict."However, Elves had good hearing, and the children did hear. "The adults mention this all the time. " The Dwarkens, the children explained, were renowned for their mining prowess, extracting precious gemstones and minerals from the depths of the earth. Yet, their insatiable greed had driven them to tunnel ever closer to the elven lands, encroaching upon sacred forests and endangering the very heart of the elven way of life. "Their relentless mining threatens to destroy our ancestral homes, and they show no sign of stopping," the young elf continued. "We've tried to negotiate, but they're led by a power-hungry warlord who seeks dominion over all the underground riches. Now, our two species find themselves locked in a bitter battle for survival and the preservation of our lands. They are using the astral portals to extend their territory through the water, if this didn't happen, it would have taken months for them to traverse the ocean to make it over to our side. Now it only takes a day. "With Enigma starting to understand the gravity of the situation he would call over Dee Dee and Hikari.
"This isn't something that we shouldn't be in the middle of, we didn't even solve the war during Ender's conflict. I don't want to be the one to make more promises I can't keep. Dee Dee, lead us to the guardian tree. "

Hikari found herself listening intently to the elf's explanation. But of course, if portals like these were occurring, not every single person coming in here would have good intentions. The inherent good in humanity was sometimes, or more often than not, eclipsed by their more heinous sins. So, no, Hikari was not surprised that the elves were on high alert for strangers.
[break][break]
"Oh!" Hikari exclaimed when the elves, younger ones it seems, pulled her aside to play. She made sure to stay within earshot, making sure to still listen in on the conversation happening. "I'd love to play with you! Although we're in a bit of a hurry." She smiled, although started playing with the younger elves.
[break][break]
The elves were, as expected, a very nature-conscious folk. From what Hikari could see, they were good with their hands and were very conscious of their environment. They can create simple musical instruments from just a single leaf and a piece of branch, and could somehow communicate with small animals, although Hikari herself could not discern how they did it. All the while, she listened to Enigma's conversation with the other elf.
[break][break]
She started back towards Enigma, leaving puppy-eyed elves who were just about to show Hikari how to create her own musical instrument with fresh leaves. "I suppose it is time for us to get going. Don't worry, if we get time, I'll make sure to visit you once again in this small alcove." She smiled warmly at those she had spent time with, and nodded graciously to the rest. "Perhaps it's time for us to meet our challenge." It was more statement than question, waiting for Dee Dee to lead the way with her skill.

Dee Dee looked around at the kids asking her if she was a halfling again, and overhearing the one that was talking to Tommy it sounded like because they thought she was a halfling they were willing to talk so she decided to play along, though asking if she was a painter was an odd question maybe cause she was so colorful? She did have on a rather absurd outfit after all, but she shook her head and her word bubble popped up "No I am not a painter, but I do draw here lemme show you!" she said as she took out a large book of drawing paper she tended to use this to draw better pictures of monsters and the like when she had the time to, and she started to draw one of the kids. As she was doing this one poked at the Word bubble giggling as the word bubble wriggles about from the poke and floated to the other side of Dee Dee where another kid poked it causing it to go back to the other side. and a couple of the kids started to play with BombDee, playing catch with him with a ball they had brought along, The waddle-dee being quite happy to play as he ran around with them. Eventually Dee Dee finished her drawing and showed it to the kids "Oh cool, and that was so fast! can you draw a picture of all of us together?" one of the kids asked and Dee Dee nodded so they all got in a group with BombDee and Dee Dee started sketching rapidly, very happy to have her skills for moments like this. During all this She did overhear the conversation Tommy was having with the slightly older Elf boy about a war, and while she wanted to help them she knew they had a mission to do and that they really couldn't get involved at the moment after all they had no clue if the portals would ever bring them back here again, so a protracted stay wouldn't be something they could do ether, she also wasn't sure how long this potion or whatever it was Tommy had given her would last for so they couldn't just rely on it to last forever. After a bit of time Dee Dee finished the sketch and let them see it her word bubble popping up "Give me a moment to clean it up okay for now play with BombDee" and the children agreed and did just that as Dee Dee rapidly cleaned up the rough sketch, to make it look better. Though she heard the conversation coming to an end with Tommy and the older Elven child so she hurried up, thankfully cleaning up didn't take as long, and as she finished the making it look neater she waved to BombDee who led the kids over and Dee Dee showed them the picture "Who here will take care of this? I want you to make sure it's shared with all of you okay? but be careful and don't rip it" the word bubble said as she handed it to them and they carefully to the picture. "Thank you miss halfling!" they said and Dee Dee gave them a thumbs up and then gave them each a tomato "My name is Dee Dee by the way" she informed them Via her Word bubble. "Oh okay thank you Dee Dee" they all said one after the other and Dee Dee gave another thumbs up which they copied. It was then Tommy called her over and she waved to the kids who waved back, Dee Dee already making notes in her book about the meeting with the kids, and also making a copy of the drawing for herself while it was still fresh in her mind. They might not be able to come back but she wasn't going to forget this if she had the chance to do so with a copy of the drawing. As she met up with them they seemed to be of the same mind of getting the mission done and Dee Dee nodded as she activated her skill and set the destination as the Guardian Tree she then started to walk and thankfully it was the right way since she didn't hear the voice screaming at her, though she was aided a bit by knowing the general direction cause one of the kids pointed that way before. and so it was she began leading the way through the forest.
