"So i see" Sirius began, smiling toward Mayon. "Here, let me show you a trick"
With that, Sirius' fingers went over a circle and concentrated upon it, yet showed little to not efforts doing it. Suddenly metal bars sprung out of the ground surrounding Mayon...and in seconds he was encased behind steel. Sirius then smiled darkly before he let him go, having a little laugh in the process...
"Indeed Mayon...Alchemy is power" The Man began, his smile shinning like the moon on a dark night. "It is what allowed me to continue to live endlessly.... Moving my soul from body to body....."

"Huh? Wait... AHH!"
Onira's butt smacked hard against the surface of the bacement, his sharp violet orbs already beginning to adjust to the somewhat faded lighting of the room. Rat duty. How pleasant.
"Sheesh! I can walk down stairs, you know!"
He begun to pick himself up off the floor, already seeing the battles going on around him. Creepy basement? Check. Giant rats? Check. Big guys killing giant rats? Check. The situation was just too wierd for him. He had to ask himself exactly what he did to deserve having to kill a bunch of giant rats. Now, a normal person would have figured that disrespecting a very important leader of a group called Eternity would have done it. Not Onira, however. His mind just decided the people were grumpy.
"Rat duty... okay. Gotta make this quick."
He bent down onto one knee and placed his palm against the floor, seeing a couple of the rats approaching him. Fair enough. The tattoo on his hand begun to emit it's regular yellow light, creating a slight yet ominous glow around the area near Onira. Instantly, four holes would appear under each rat approaching the teen, suddenly going off with a bang! The rats would most likely find themselves with four bullet wounds going down their chest and stomach, fairly chancey to have hit at least one of their vital organs. One could only hope.

Turning his attention to Mayon for a moment he turned his attention back to Sirius eys full of respect at the amount of magical talent that would require. His eyes were intrigued at the magic involved. Alchemy. With it he could widely enhance his gun abilities and arsenal whenever he needed it. He turned his eyes to the ground studying it for a moment and then raised them back to Sirius.
"Would it be possible then to learn under you during my stay here and when I am not under assignment? I make the solemn swear that I will prove an excellent and adaptive student."
For learning is the key to understanding.

The cage that appeared over him amazed Mayon. It was imply astounding. So well crafted and it just made Mayon freak out again. But then he listened to Darians request. Mayon was very good at alchemy already and was close to perfecting the whole “using alchemy without a circle thing” which he was really looking forward to.
“Oh if it isn’t too much trouble Sir I would love to learn under our alchemic ways as it could help me with my goals towards alchemy and that would be amazing.”
Mayon heard a bang. Sounded like Onira was getting HIS job done now. Mayon smirked. Onira needed to calm down. He didn’t even realize we had an alchemist in our presence. Onira being one himself. It is good to meet new people and hopefully learn some new things. Mayon was hoping to get the best out of this mission.
“This could really be fun.”

With that, the rats backed off...a new warrior in tow named Onira who had just killed four of them in a single spell. Worried, a few rats scampered back into the darkness.... While one tried to sneak up behind Onira via magic and jumped....it's teeth out and ready to bite down on his back... In front of the warrior, there were two rats...gathering their magic energy now. With their efforts they raised a pillar of stone and sent it toward the boy...while the shadow rat was right behind him....
"Well....originally you are here to do my hand work" Sirius said in his usual arrogant and snooty tone. "But, considering this is more of a good will missions then anything else, I suppose i could teach you two a few things of alchemy..."
With that, he turned toward Darain, taking out a plain sheet of paper and a pencil. In a mere matter of seconds, Sirius already had a full array of an alchemical circle....With the sign of constellations, words in Latin, perfectly designed.... Sirius had just did what would've taken a seasoned Alchemist minutes to do in a second....
"This...is an Alchemic Circle" Sirius explained quietly, pointing to his picture. "It is the circle of magic which allows one to alter the world we live in. Through this circle, i can create buildings from dirt, cars from metal, all without ever breaking a sweat. However, there is a law of equal exchange to use the circle....What you so desire cannot exceed what you've offered... And a small bit of mana is required to activate the circle... But it is indeed a very powerful tool to use...."
With that, Sirius put down the piece of paper and soon pressed his shoe against it, creating out of the ground a table. On it, he placed a second sheet of paper and a pencil. "Now, what i want for you to do is draw a simple transmutation circle... A circle with a square in it, and then try to turn this metal table into a large throne..."
He then looked over to Mayon, to whom he handed the elegant transmutation circle he drew...
"Now, this Circle here is actually quite powerful. It's rate of altering the face of the Earth is faster then most other circles, but usually only masters of the art can harness the power of these advance circles efficiently. I want you to copy this circle, and then try to transmute a table from the metal ground..."
With that done, Sirius sank back in his seat, taking a glass of wine out as he watched the show... "Well" He thought, sipping the beverage "At least they're entertaining me i suppose..."

Mayon was handed the paper and listened to the instructions. Mayon was a bit of a cartoonist so he found drawing these to be very easy. That was why he could make transmutation circles so fast. This one did happen to be a bit more complicated but when he saw it he had it in his mind and he didn’t need it anymore. Photographic memory was very useful. It was too bad Mayon had to concentrate really hard to keep it in his head however, unlike some.
Mayon sketched the circle in a couple seconds, which was impressive as it was hard to draw. Your alchemy didn’t affect you drawing skills. The circles were art and Mayon could draw them. He knelt how and placed the paper on the ground. He activated the transmutation circle picturing in his mind a metal table.
As the table started to form Mayon found it a little more difficult to make it, as the circle was stronger than the others. But he did make a very nice table. The legs he crafted on it were not attached to the floor and looked beautiful and smooth. The tabletop was oval with an insignia in the middle. The insignia was the symbol for death, which looked very cool. That is why Mayon put it there.
“Heh. I knew I could do it. Piece of cake as I was trained very well.”
Mayon smiled. This was actually easier than he had expected. He thought that it might have taken a lot more time to make that table. He thought of it as some sort of big test but it didn’t seem like anything of the sort.

Onira stood up slowly, seeing a few rats beginning whatever it was they were doing. Naturally though, he didn't get much time to think about it. Luckily, when he had stood up he changed the attack surface of the invisible rat behind him, instead knocking Onira down. He forced himself to turn his body and land on his back, looking up at the mere shadow against the ground. Easy.
He placed his hand against the ground once again, and for another time the alchemic glow projected itself from his palm. This time however, the glow signified a group of spikes where one saw the shadow, hopefully drawing blood. Onira didn't take the time to look.
He back-rolled just as the other rats were throwing the pillar at him. The answer? Another alchemy-caused wall being formed infront of the pillar, almost thee feet thick and hopefuly enough to stop the attack. Once again, however, he didn't look to see.
Immediately he would jump under the hole he had entered through and place a glowing palm against the ground, almost instantly raising him high in the air on a stone platform. As soon as he got to the surface, he jumped off the platform onto the floor of the Eternity building, walking hurridly to the Throne of Sirius, his expression showing an obvious displeasure for the man and what he had been dropped in to.
"I have yet to understand why it is I who is commonly forced into these situations."
The back of his head replied simply that he's the one who get's caught, but Onira just ignored the sarcastic voice. No one needed that kind of negativity.
"So, what are you two stuck with?"
He walked over to Darian and Mayon, taking a peak at their works. Transmutation. And he had been stuck doing rat duty. What a jip.
"I had to kill a bunch of rats and you guys were transmuting stuff? Totally mean."

"Yes...wel....they asked for lessons... And when their Lessons are over, i shall make sure that they too do jobs" Sirius said....as if with a sneer....
He then looked over at Mayon and got out of his seat, taking his blade, the Curtana with him. The tip of the blade was chipped a bit, but that didn't matter. The blade itself resonated with odd magical energy, as Alchemic circle seemed to fill the entire shaft. Soon enough Sirius stopped in front of the table, taking his time to throughly examine it as he clutched the blade at his side. A smile of displeasure left his face toward Mayon...
"While the table looks good" Sirius began, taking his sword out. "The table still lacks. I can tell the craftsmanship of the table is not well, as the edges, upon closer inspection, are not perfectly edged out. The symbol in the middle is off the center by a few centimeters...The entire body of the table also lacks to that metal are more dense in certain areas...then others. Let me demonstrate"
With that, the Eternity lord struck the table's inner areas, a small mark made upon the surface. He then moved the blade he struck with to another area and then struck with the same strength as before...but this time a bigger mark was made...
"As such, you need to really learn how to perfectly control the circle you have. I am certainly amazed you were able to make the table...but you still have no clear sight of perfecting this advance transmutation circle. Regardless, off to work with you.."
With that, Sirius struck the table, his transmutation circles glowing as the metallic table sunk suddenly into the ground. Soon enough, Mister Darkhaert then pressed the chipped tip of the blade against the ground, shinning as well. A hole then popped up under Mayon....as he would drop into the Cellars next to a few other workers taking care of the rat problem...
"Okay Mayon...get to killing" The Lord said cheerfully with a dark smile...
And suddenly, a rat jumped from behind Mayon, ready to bite him....
The Lord then turned toward Onira and then pressed his sword against the ground again. Out of it a mop and bucket of water suddenly moved out of the ground. The fact that Sirius could create and transmute all with the same movement was astounding... But enough of that.
"Get to cleaning the bar room down the hall Onira" Sirius said.

Darian gazed at the circle in awe and respect. The law of equivalent exchange what was debated for years was now simply explained to him in words he could understand. The latin words called to him and he could actually feel the magic that urged him forward. That tiny spark of learning and desire that he wanted to accomplish. He gazed at the circle and his sharp eyes saw the design slowly emerge as he drew the square inside. He could grasp the tecnique. It required focus. A strong point in Darian's repitore. He carefully let the image come to his hand as his hand delicately drew the cirlcle and then the square. He closed his eyes as he placed the paper on the table and thought it over.
Sirius had asked for something but, he wanted to do something better. Darian wouldn't be satisfied with just a simple job. He wanted to prove himself someone that would be satisfactory to Sirius. To prove that he just wasn't someone to waste time on and consider a sultry amusement. He grit his teeth as he focused his magic to his left palm and felt a sharp pain of using an unfamilliar magic. He grit his teeth as he felt the magic tingle in his palm and his eyes sudddenly snapped open after what seemed like an eternity.
Equivalent exchange. The mass must be the same as I started with.
He slammed his gloved hand onto the table and felt the magic surge out of his hand and he carefully felt the metal slowly changing as he kept his focus. Sweat began to trickle down his forehead as he concentrated. He wasn't going for a simple throne he wanted it to be a work of art his pride would allow no less. He focused and felt it slowly change as he struggled to maintain his focus. It was incredibly hard work to use this magic. The slow and elegant curves of the chair slowly emerged as Darian struggled to keep the metal's durability as well.
Come on!
He was done several minutes later he wasn't sure of the strength of the chair but, his artist's mind and his ability to focus turned out an elegant design. It looked similar to the throne used back when France was a monarchy. The same elegant curves and architecture as he fell to his knees panting the sweat trickling off his face. He didn't know how well he did on the outside it looked good but, would Sirius be satisfied?

"Hmm..." Sirius said, observing the chair that had just been created. "The chair is indeed marvelous...but it lacks, from what i can tell, structural integrity. The designs are beautiful, and obviously you have a natural talent for alchemy..... However, i find the chair to have a few design flaws like slightly edged curves and what not... However, i do enjoy the look of it and the overall craftsmanship of this fine piece. Regardless...."
With that, Sirius smash the table with his blade, and in the process his Alchemical circles lit up. The chair was soon turned back into the ground as Sirius stared on at Darian.... "I want you to assemble and disassemble the chairs you make.... Just so that can get the hang of creating things quickly. After all you only have a few moments to create something in battle then the minutes you had here....."

Mayon quickly turned around top see the rat lunging at him. He then clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the rat straight into the face. The rat went flying backwards into the wall dying upon impact. Mayon frowned. Why were there so many rats around here? You think they could get rid of them easily. There were so many mages here so why not just snap their fingers and have the rats be gone?
Mayon took out a very small bag about the size of his thumb and walked over to the rat and poured the contents of the pouch onto the rat. It was just a little bit of black powder. It was gunpowder and Then Mayon placed one of his own papers on the rat’s dead body. He then put his finger on the paper and it started to light a bit. It then caught on fire. Mayon took out another paper activating it in his hand. He then crumpled it up and tossed it into the fire making it cease and showing nothing but ash form the paper and the body of the rat.
Mayon looked back over to the other two.
“There you go. I hate rats. Not only that but burning its body was best as it makes less of a stench. Anyway I am still impressed that Darian was able to concentrate a Chair like that. Even if it did take minuets and was a bit crude, it was still good for a first try.”

"You're not done yet" Sirius said, his face scrawled up in a dark glance. "Just like Onira...i want you to kill at least five before you return. Now hurry and get rid of these foul beasts...."
With that, Sirius sank back into his Throne....

Standing up Darian gave a bow to Sirius. He was learning something that would prove exceptionally useful to his abilities. And it was something that he was indebted to. He shifted himself and looked at the circle on the blade of Sirius' sword and instantly had another idea. He finally raised himself and wiped the sweat from his face.
"I am indebt to your patience with me your Eminance. I will try not to dissapoint you."
Darian said softly as he drew another alchemic circle but, this time had another idea. He drew his Forest Raven and placed the paper against his gun's side. Activating the circle he carefully placed a new engravement on it placing a circle on the gun barrell. Why waste time drawing circles if he had one on his gun to activate. He felt the sweat trickle down as he drew another transmutation circle on a larger sheet.
I'll prove myself that I'm worthy to him!
"Here goes."
Darian focused his energy to his gun which was remarkably easier to him then focusing it to his hand. He pressed the gun against the circle and made the same chair design as before. Rather then several minutes however, he did it in only four minutes as he was able to more easily focus his magic. Now that he had attempted it the first time he had an easier time the second time. It still took a bit of doing and required focus and concentration. He studied the craftsmanship this time. It was the same chair as before but, this time slightly better as if Darian was smoothing it out with each try. Frowning when he saw some brittle parts he sighed.
Disassembling was much easier then assembling as he pressed his gun against it and activated the circle on his gun to make it fall apart. He'd keep the materials on the floor so he wouldn't have to draw them up again from the ground. Right now he had to get used to the concept of changing something. One angle at a time. He was getting used to the concept to improve his speed first.

Onira sighed, looking at the mop and bucket with regretful eyes. He was beginning to ask himself why he had even went along for the mission. Something about being a servant didn't quite appeal anymore. Hell, it didn't even appeal in the first place. Just something to do. That was the reason. Boredom. Well, at least one had something to do.
"You know..."
He started to think about the new job at hand. Cleaning. His eyes went mischievous for just a moment. Maybe a small amount of fun would be had in the day. As long as Sirius didn't stop him half-way through. That would just be annoying. And make the job that much more difficult.
"...I think I've got a better idea."
He placed a hand around the handle of the bucket, the soapy water sloshing a small bit as he lifted it up, but not a drop actually leaving it's container. He left the mop, but still intended to get the cleaning done. In a more pleasurable action as well. Well, pleasurable to him. Seemingly not so much for Darian.
He strolled down the hall, soon coming to the bar hall. Without warning, he put another hand against the bottom of the bucket and pushed outward, letting the water splash against the hard floor. Now was to come the fun part.
He knelt just infront of the water, placing a hand against it's surface, unsure if it would work. His experience with liquids was limited, but he figured if he could increase the regeneration of a wound, blood and all, then wat wouldn't be a problem. So, the tattoo lit up once again, the water already beginning to spin around, picking up any dirt along the way in it's violent yet ultimately unharmful typhoon. Only one more thing to do.
Suddenly, the water twisted more violently for only a second, just as quickly losing it's form as it parted along the floors with great speed, literally obliterating any icky stuff along the way. Onira smiled.
"Easier then I figured. But a job well done if I do say so myself."
He let the light brighten for another moment, this time against the floor, not the water. The floor formed itself into a shallow bowl, all of the water coming to the center, being pushed up into the now side-turned bucket by a stone reversed-wedge, sloshing everything back in.
He angled the bucket back up as the Earth returned to normal, giving a grin a thumbs up to himself at the job well done. The floor was very sparkly and clean-looking, barely even a trace of water left. So, feeling proud of himself, Onira returned to Sirius and put the bucket down next to the mop, looking very amused.
"Anything else?"
He was actualy starting to like this new job.

"Good, Good you three" Sirius said, happy with is servant. "Although it has only been a few hours... I believe that you can do All i need you to do. So while the contract called for a few days, I shall be generous toward...the academy and let you go off now.. An escort shall see you students home"
With that, an escort of sorts appeared behind the three, as Sirius got out of his throne and waved good bye to the boys. However, he silently walked over to Darian, whom he had took a certain liking too during the whole of this.
"Take this.... With it, you shall be given free access to my domain, and it shall be a symbol of your....tutorledge, my apprentice" Sirius spoke silently to the kid...
With that, the escort then entered a hidden hanger in the night club, which would probably be a hanger of sorts for flying the boys home...
Missions over!
Rewards:
Onira: 3 EXP Darian: 2 EXP + Sirius' Medallion ( Doubles Effects of all Alchemy Spells) Mayon: 2 EXP
