CHAPTER 1: Mysterious Stranger

{This chapter focuses on Mathew Welpe coming to the village Izendor and how people start dieing and the village believes he is the killer.}

Mathew Welpe didn't know much about Izendor. He heard that the people didn't like visitors that much and that the entire village was controlled by a religious group called Kami Denreisha. He was also told that the leader of the group could perform strange magic using a talisman.

Mathew's interest was caught when told of the talisman so he decided to check out the village. When he entered the village it was quiet and everyone watched him closely as he walked through the village. He stopped at the tavern in the center of the village and stepped inside. He was glad to see the tavern was like any other tavern, full of drunks who didn't give a shit about who was there. He sat down at the table at the far back right of the room and the waitress walked over to him. "What's your poison?" "Geist Gift" Mathew responds. She nods and goes to the bar and grabs three different bottles and pours all three into a large mug. She brings the mug to him and leaves him to his drink. Mathew takes mouthful of the drink and sits back and examines the people in the room. Most look like they live in the village but a few look to be from out of town giving him the relief that he wasn't the only stranger in the village. Mathew continues to think to himself as he drinks and ignores the people shouting in a drunken roar of excitement and joy.

Amatesaru couldn't stand the drunken roars coming from across the tavern. She sat at the very end of the bar closest to the stairs. She darted her blue eyes to the young man on the far right. Motioning the bartender over she questioned who he was. "A drifter eh, what's he drinking?" "Geist Gift." "Send one more his way from me when he's done will yah?" Amatesaru commanded. "Will do." She sipped her martini as the chaos got louder. It's always like this.. She sighed and took another drink. There really is nothing to do in this town but drink yourself silly. She thought crossing her legs. She could hear a couple of men mentioning her body in a loud drunken voice. It's also funny how they think I can't hear them. Thinking as she laughed to herself.

Mathew finished his Geist Gift when the waitress brings him another one. "A gift from the lady over there," she answers before he could ask. Mathew grabs the mug and makes a gesture to the lady he received the Geist Gift from and downs it. He then gets up and walks over to the lady's table. "Thank you for the Geist Gift, may I ask why the generosity?" He asks as he sits down.

[nilcerberus]

"Nothing more than a gesture good sir." She replied turning towards him. With a smile on her pale face she spoke. "What's your name?" She turned her body towards his and put a hand on her hip. "Your garb is defiantly not from this town." Screening his figure as she took another sip. "But, my my, isn't it lovely." A grin passed her lips.

[puppy2wehtam]

"The name is Mathew... Mathew Welpe." He replies, "I came on business for the Bundesland Military. I came in search of Lebenskunstler Sto..." He pause for a second as she says the comment about his figure. "Stone..." She is making a pass at me. He thinks to himself. "Miss I am sorry but I am a Bundesland Detektiv."

[KOINU AKUMU INFO: Bundesland Military are the military for the country that everyone in this story lives in. A Bundesland Detektiv are the elite members who are usually sent on solo missions that are important to the country. They are disliked for the reason that laws don't apply to them. Many have died where they appear. (More things like this will be given since I will be using strange names for other things in the future.)]

[nilcerberus]

A slight sigh left her pink colored lips. "I assure you, I plan to do nothing other than idle chit-chat." Gulping down the last of her martini she stood up."Stone." She paused. "Good luck finding him, if you'll excuse me, I have work that needs to be done, Ja ne." Winking at him slightly she headed out into the streets of Izendor. The sun was shining brightly on the warm afternoon. She stretched briefly before making her way to the marketplace. I need to make it seem like I'm just a normal villager, I don't need this man getting any more curious about me. I've got enough problems as is. She thought to herself.

[puppy2wehtam]

Mathew was about to correct her but she left him. He was a little confused but didn't let it bother him. Instead he asked the bartender the same question and the bartender then informed him that a priest that just recently came to town has something of the description given. "Lucky for you the priest has a ceremony going on in the marketplace," the bartender replied. "Thank you." Mathew then headed out to the marketplace. Once he reached there he found the priest easily. The priest was by the fountain surrounded by a large crowd. "What's going on?" Mathew asked one of the people at the back of the crowd. "Father Sagart is bringing a bird back to life." The man replied. Mathew then saw a bright light and the crowd cheered afterward. He must have the Lebenskunstler Stone. Mathew thought to himself. Mathew then jumped from the back of the crowd to the left of the priest. "I want the Lebenskunstler Stone!" Mathew shouted out to the priest. The priest smiled then put his hand on the fountain and before Mathew could react a bright light blinded him and the priest was gone. Mathew nervous that the crowd might attack him runs off to a back alley.

[nilcerberus]

Amatesaru stretched out on balcony in a back alley. She could hear the uproar of the crowd. Knowing very well it was another religious head trying to get attention. Her tail hung through the cracks of the steel grate balcony. The shadows fell over her entire body. Letting out another sigh, she pulled out a large knife from her cleavage. Humming a slight tune she traced her finger along the blade. "Mmmhmm. Hm. Hmm hmmm. Huh?" She perked up her ears and listened around. "Nya! Welpe? That you?" She shouted, but didn't bother looking.

[puppy2wehtam]

Mathew jumps when he hears someone behind him in the alley. He then notices it's that lady from before. "Yes it's me. Why are you here?"

[nilcerberus]

"Oh no reason." She sat up and gazed into his eyes. "Just hanging around." After jumping down from the balcony she walked up to him. "The question is, why are YOU here." She then replaced the blade back into her shirt.

[puppy2wehtam]

"That priest has the Lebenskunstler Stone. I confronted him but he disappeared. Now I think the entire town doesn't trust me for scaring the priest off." Mathew replied, "I must find shelter for the night... Do you have a place in town?"

[nilcerberus]

Putting a finger to her lips she paused for a moment. "Indeed I do, follow me." She turned on a dime, walking back towards the fountain, and the crowd. "Just stay with me and you'll be fine." She walked out into the sunlight and stopped in-front of the crowd of people.

[puppy2wehtam]

Mathew followed cautiously after nodding his head. It made him nervous to be heading back into the crowd... On top of that trusting one of the locals... For he knows she could be a follower of the priest but he needed someone's help and she was the only one he knew that was different from the others.

[ KOINU AKUMU INFO: The Lebenskunstler Stone is a rare stone which gives the user the ability to perform alchemy. The stone has many imitations that will temporarily work but will break eventually. The real one never will break. It is said that this stone can bring the dead back to life.]

[nilcerberus]

"Look here you pilgrims, this man here is a visitor for Lord Suzumiya. Out of our way." The crowd parted and she turned back towards Mathew. "Shall we?" Continuing forward she headed across town. "I know I really shouldn't be prying into your business, but what exactly are you looking for?" She said as her long silver hair trailed behind her.

[puppy2wehtam]

Mathew was stunned at how well the others listened... It confused him even more when she mentioned a Lord Suzumiya. But he didn't want he thinking he might try to escape so he followed, keeping his guard up. "I'm searching for the Lebenskunstler Stone. The priest was using something that fit the description and he ran when confronted. Making me believe he has it." He replied, "Who is Lord Suzumiya bye the way? I was never told about a Lord in the area."
