Narin wandered the streets of Babylos taking in the new sights. It was mainly the completely new culture that caught him, everything about it was so alien. There were the simple things like the magic floor tiles that transported you to the other side of the city almost instantaniously or the so called daily "groceries" which upon eating gave you added magic for a few hours. Coming from a human family with no magical knowledge made it all hard for him. Narins main business to the city was to grab himself a Communicator upgrade, sure the Academy had given him a standard one but Narin wanted to keep with the times, besides the more advanced tools would give him an easier time around. His specific model of choice had such functions as energy tracers which could track down monsters to any magic weilding being to the standard camera and gps systems.
Upon buying his new Communicator Narin fancied himself a break in the a local cafe and how good it was to see a traditional human like cafe, just like back in England. Narin wandered in and took to a spot in the corner he almost flung himself backward until he was falling and slammed his legs onto the table. Of course he got the odd look but Narin replied with a cheeky wave. The Cafe itself was rather packed as well and he yet again remembered that he was no longer among defenseless ordinary humans, now he was among people who could create energy waves the heat of the sun with a finger and even people who werent even Human. When the waitress came along Narin made his order short and quick. "Tea, I want a real traditional english cuppa', 2 sugars, quite a bit of milk and a good muffin and yer own m'kay?" he said. His tone was a bit rude but he honestly didnt care.
OOC:Sorry that most of it is needless garbage.

Amilith had been out and about. The day had been slow this far and he was more than a bit annoyed, which says alot about how the day had been. First of all, the class teacher had been sick and the stand in had been severly incompetent. And once class was finally over Amilith immediatley bumped into a bunch of "cool" guys at the school trying to make him tell them the answers on the next test. After having stalled them for well past half an hour until a teacher came he had decided to go to Babylos to browse stuff and go to his favourite café. Once again he got interrupted, this time by an overweight middle age man, the owner of a fairly large corporation selling lesser artifacts and he, as well as most fat middle-age business owners that came to him wondered how to make more money. After telling him that he would get the answer at the cost of his eyes Amilith got to enjoy the sight of him leaving faster than quick. Then he went straight for the café, knowing what would happen if he kept browsing. More interruptions.
But as he entered the café he saw that it was quite full. Well, nothing special about that since it was one of the better cafés in Babylos. There were a few seats but his favourite table was taken. He glanced in one of his crystal balls and saw that Narin Carter was there, he decided that it could be worse and simply floated over to him and waved at a waitress who immediatley began to pick out the stuff he normally ate together with some tea with five lumps of sugar.
"Excuse me, is this seat empty?"
He asked Narin and gave him a warm smile. Off course he already knew the answer, but he was polite enough to ask.

Narin put his hands behind his head relaxing and took his legs off of the table. He scanned the person who had appeared over noticing the crystal balls which were floating with him. "...No, that seat isnt empty, there's a very large man sitting there in brightly coloured clothes..." he said sarcastically, it had taken Narin awhile to answer the boy originally but he took even longer this time. "Sure, take a seat." he said. He continued to watch the crystal balls which were floating around the boys head constantly, they bothered Narin quite a bit. "So, these balls floating around your head...Whats that all about? Looks real annoying." he said watching the balls as they edged around in small seperate movements.

Amilith patiently waited for Narin to finish his sarcasm before he sat down. He followed Narins eyes to the crystal ball he was looking at and sent it floating until it was right before Narins eyes, showing him a glimps of his true nature. Giving Narin a warm smile as the crystal ball floated back to Amilith he began to spoke:
"These are the tools of my trade, Narin. They help me to know what I know, such as everything about you, or any other demon. The waitress, a cult leader or anyone you point at."
He took a pause as the waitress came with their orders, smiling at the first good sign during the whole day he took a mouthfull of the tea. He put the cup back down before he continued.
"Of course, such knowledge has a price."
Then he took a cookie from the plate the waitress put in front of him, gave her a small smile and started to eat.

Narin picked his cup off the tray and dragged it infront of him he then picked it up with his hand, not even using the handle. The cup was of course scolding hot but heat was one thing Narin didnt need to worry about. As he took a sip he was sent a good few reminders of home and gave a simple "Piece of crap!" as he shot the cup across the floor. "HEY, ain't happy with this!" he shouted at the waitress. Narin made it obvious to the entire cafe that he was an obnoxious prick. He took a deep breath and relaxed his clenched fist in his pocket. "Dont want memories of that place..." he said before looking right at the person who had accompanied him. "So then, as freaky as I find it, you aren't going to be all that surprised by what I just did right?" he asked and then gave a short pause. "As for being a demon though, thats not exactly 100% correct, I am actually Human however my story is a little mixed up. Putting that aside it appears that my "Demonic" powers have been, temporarily sealed shall we say." he explained. He wasnt going to go deeper into that subject for now.
He looked at the floating crystals and recalled what Amilith had just said. "These are the tools of my trade, Narin. They help me to know what I know, such as everything about you, or any other demon. The waitress, a cult leader or anyone you point at." He gave a short snigger at the comment as he had connected to the sort of things this person delt with. "So, what else do you know exactly, tell me what I need to know" he said almost as if demanding. "With my powers 'sealed' Im unfortunately weakened. All forms of my demon powers have been sealed inside my sword, it was an emergency choice I had to take."
Of course now a sparkly sword would appear beside Narin wrapped in a scabbard of transparent blue energy. The sword only became noticeable to those who Narin introduced to people. "This is my sword and my demon Aergarsth, the sword I have named The Shinruki. Down to business however I want information on new powers, how to learn then and what not and specifically the power that you hold would be the first one that catches my eye. If you can give me this info, name a price..." he said in a brief manner. Narin was a man of little patience and a person who wanted what was best for him and him alone.

Amilith ate his cookie as he watched Narins outburst, calmly waiting for him to finish his ranting before he took yet another sip of the tea. He placed it back down and looked at it for a moment before he finally spoke.
"Yes, I expected no less, and as embarrassed as I am to admit this I am a little bit lazy on the explanations of little importance."
He paused to take another sip of the tea and a bite from a new cookie. Slow, calm and collected even though he knew what Narin could do if he got to angry with Amilith, but ignoring the fact since he knew what would happen in case Narin did anything and knew that Narin knew the same.
"And as for the information you seek... It's very valuable, and for most people it would be to much to handle. But not for you... That much I can tell. But the price will be high, very high."
Amilith paused once more to sip of the tea and take another bite of his cookie. Maybe he wasn't the stereotype of the oracle, but he wasn't much for stereotypes. Especially ones that wouldn't allow him to eat cookies.
"Say, how much do you know about the norse mythology of the vikings?"

Narin listened to what Amilith had to say. He was flipping his new Communicators top screen up and down since it was a flip communicator, it began to spaz out as it went to sleep when closed but woke up when opened and the light flickered on and off in his hand. Narin nodded. "I do actually know a little about Norse Mythology, about the planets mainly, Midgard, Asgarde, Nifleheim and so on and of the world tree Yggrdrasil which connects em' all together." the planets are the only thing I really know of, the three I mentioned are actually the only ones which names I can recall...Theres also the war which the was called 'Ragnarok.' Apparently the Gods knew that the Humans of Midgard were going to defeat them in a war but attempted to stop it even though they had seen the end result. I may have gotten that last part a bit muddled but thats what I've heard and all of thats pretty much all I know, besides that kind of information is easy to come by, whats so special about it, why did you ask me?"

Amilith smiled to himself, this was going to be easier than he thought. But as the eternal besserwisser he is he just had to correct the mistake in that story. He took another sip of the tea and began to speak.
"Close, but not quite. The gods of Asgard were going to use humans to fill out their lines, and only the strongest of men got to join them. No, it was the dead from Hel and the giants from Joutunheim that defeted the gods, and the sons of Loki that killed Thor, Odin and Tyr before Frey got killed by the giant Surt who then destroyed almost all of the universe with a single swing of his sword."
He took another sip of his tea and bit a cookie before he continued, ignoring all the eyes that was pointed at them thanks to Narins outbursts and behaviour.
"But that's irrelevant. I'll assume that you know of Odins horse Sleipner. But just in case you don't here's a brief explanation: Sleipner is one of Lokis sons, he was an eight legged horse with magical runes engraved in his teeth and he could go where no other horse could. It's only a legend, old and lost mythology. But Sleipners teeth happens to exist. They're said to be the teeth of Sleipner himself, but it's actually just a name to brag about their powers. It's a set of bones with runes engraved on them. I won't bore you with any more details and get straight to the point."
Another sip of tea.
"If you go to Africa, south africa to be precise. You should be able to find an old mining shaft, it was abandoned due to deaths by unknown reasons. It was all called an "unusually large amount of gas" and the mine was closed without uncovering the real reason. Somewhere in that shaft you will be able to find one of the teeth, the letter U. Retrieve it for me and I will answer one single question for you."
With those words he returned to his tea and cookies.

Narin listened to Amilith correct his story. "Well...I was almost right...Kinda..." he said as he continued to listen to what exactly he wanted in exchange for the info. A cave filled with gas? That would be tricky. He gave a snigger none the less to keep his image up. Narin looked over his shoulder. "Shinruki, yo' Aergarsth, up for some gas?" he asked the sword which reappeared beside him. "Gas is a tricky one, especially considering the location. You'll have to control your power and work through the place as fast as possible." the demon sealed in the sword explained. Narin laughed. "Why thank you oh wise Sensai, honestly, I take advice from a magical sword..." he said. The sword vanished without another word.
Narin looked back at Amilith. "Well, i'll accept this little proposal of yours, but that info better be helpful..." he said standing up, he flipped his muffin into the air, threw his arm across diagonally and caught it. Stuffing it into his pocket he gave a short wave and slammed some money down on the table. "I got nothing better to do so i'll head off right away. Give me a chance to test this baby out too!" he said flashing his new Communicator to Amilith. "Adios." he said as he wandered out of the Cafe. He made a record of the location of this mine on his communicators voice recorder as he wandered off.

Amilith couldn't help but to smirk as Narin walked out. He's an intresting person, but he's way to fast when it comes to conclusions. Amilith had never said that there was actually gas in the mine, merely that it was the official reason that the mine had been closed. No, the truth was indeed worse than some petty mining gas, but he knew that Narin would find out sooner than later.
Somehow I have a feeling that such a dimwit will be off further use to me. If he makes it back alive that is, looks kinda cloudy so it seems as if the odds are pretty good for both scenarios.
He took another sip of his tea, frowning as it was almost empty and ordered some more. Then he turned to Narin as he left and said "good luck" to him before he got out.
