Betty
*En is walking downtown, a basket of books in tow, along with some yellow flowers and apples. She looks happy*
Dora
The wind gently blows along the bright sun yellow flowers causing a settle or two to fall off. The settles get whisked away towards the library and as En keeps walking they can hear a subtle and gentle hum.

Not long soon a woman can be seen reading a book underneath a tree Charolette is peacefully reading a book. Her hair draped over in front of her, dark green hat placed off to her right settled on the green grass
Eric
*En looks to see what book the woman was reading, to see if she has read it herself before*
Dora
The book she is reading is on the prowess of elemental magic, it has information from theories of spell combinations to even a full body transformation with a certain element.

As she flips a page and tucks a few strands behind her ear she looks up to meet Ens gaze. She gives a gentle smile and a wave

"Hello stranger"
Eric
Ah! Sorry for starring, I was just curious about the book you were reading. I'm En, whats your name? *She twiddled her thumbs*
Dora
Charlotte would gently close the book and grab her hat placing it onto her head before standing up with her staff in hand. 

She walks over to the woman and hops over the wall before stopping in front and gives out a hand

"I am Charlotte it is a pleasure to meet you"
Eric
Likewise *She extends her own hand and shakes Charlotte's* Its nice to meet someone who also has a love of books. You have any favorite genres?
Dora
"Genre? Oh um I'm very new to reading and I've only ever read books about magic. But of I was to say a type I would like to read sometime would have to be a um... What's the word.

I've heard about them from someone before, AHA! Now I remember it's called smut? Something about passionate romance it sounds exciting to read"

Charolette gives a innocent smile as she really does believe it's Luby duby romance
Eric
Smut?! My goodness *En blushes for a moment* I, also do like smut from time to time... But it can be... Much at times... Anyway. You're into learning magic huh? Im personally not a magic user, but I've come to learn a lot about magic from the people I've met
Dora
"Well I practice a special magic you could say. I don't know many or any in fact who practice it although I'm sure they are out there.

Also is that so En, then are you meeting up with them at this moment?"
Eric
No, I haven't seen him in quite a while, he knows a lot about fire and lightning though. The Sterling Fox they call him (hes not on the server but I can try to convince him to come check it out) also, I remember... Someone teaching me about light magic. Say, what kind of magic are you practicing anyway?
Dora
"Elemental as a whole from fire, water, wind, earth and any other that I can get my hands on and become proficient in"

Charolett would look around before looking towards the library and back to en

"Would you like to go into the library or something? It seems destiny has brought us here for some reason so let's see why aye?"

She would give a small smile towards en
Eric
Astounding! I've never heard of an elemental harnessing multiple elements before! And yes, that sounds delightful *She returns the smile to Charlotte. As they enter the library, En finds a table and chairs for the two to sit at*
Clare
CHA:

The inside of the library is quite the sight to behold rows upon rows of books fill the inner brick and wooden walls of the building even going up to a third floors with the first being mainly for where those want to read go.

A receptionist idly reads her own book, taking down names, to even signing in and out books... For a fee of course

 Charlotte would pull the chair out hold her dress in the middle and sit down while crossing her left leg over thr right

"So then what made you interested in the world of magic my dear and oh if you don't mind me asking... How old are you?
Eric
Im 23 years old, and as for magic. My ex partner had magic, and as I stated before, The Sterling Fox - my mentor, has fire magic. I've been around it a lot and I decided one day to delve deeper into the ins and outs of it. And what made you interested in elemental magic?
Dora
"Well yes you mentioned your mentor but you could've had a interest before them which is why I asked. As for me I'm not to sure, I felt drawn to it really"

Charolett would place hee hand upon the table and open up her palm and the moment it lays flat on the table a small flames flits to life in her palm.

A few strands of her hair become flames themselves on the outer side of her hair as the inside stays the same. The flames flicker and move about as residual flame Floats off of her. The red and orange laminates the surrounding area a bit such as the floor, chair and table


She then let's go of her magic and everything turns back to normal before she could be yelled at for having a open flame in a library
Eric
Intriguing. My ex taught me how to summon a light orb, but I could never manage to do it. *She does a small motion with her hands cupped, as if she were outlining a small ball. Nothing happens* Perhaps you have to be born with it, or at least thats what I've been told
Dora
"Born? I'm not to sure about that. All it takes is practice, dedication and if your lucky talent of course, I'm very new to magic itself so I'm trying to get the hang of it such as trying to see and feel the mana within this world"

Charolett would move her hand in the air and try to grab onto what seems to be a invisible string but fails and drops her hand back down onto the table.

"Sorry for asking but you sure mention this ex of yours a bit. Do you miss them?"
Eric
I've been able to get over the loss. The last I saw of him, he was kidnapped by a demon. And while I have nothing against demons, the ones I met in the past were not very nice... Its a long story *She looks down at the table*
Dora
"Ah I see I'm very sorry to hear that about your lover. At least he still might be alive if he was kidnapped I'm sure it was for a reason other then death"

Charolett would look around before giving a small clear of the throat

"So um... Are you a adventurer? I just started adventuring myself as of the late"
Eric
Well, I mostly like to stay home and read, but somedays I feel inspired and want to go on adventures like the ones in my books.
Dora
"Well why not go on one this instant?, it doesn't take to much to prepare really and as long as you have a friend or two it is easy at first. Although of course there will always be struggle"
Eric
That sounds like fun! *She gave a soft smile* But where would we go for this adventure? *She tilted her head a bit*
Dora
Charlotte would raise a eyebrow in surprise that this stranger thinks that she is telling them to come with her.

They did just meet after all but... Maybe it's not to bad of an idea.

"Well we can go anywhere I've read in a book that there is a hidden ruin within this kingdom, Well a good few but this one has yet to be explored"
Eric
Sounds great! Im assuming you know the way, or have a map. Oh this is so exciting! *She claps her hands softly*
Dora
"Well I don't have a map however I have the book. The book itself is like a map I believe "

She takes out a book that says the dwarves caverns. The book itself has a Intricate and detail inscription of a large dwarven city on the back, on the front dwarves holding swords that make a large X

"The book is pretty detailed and when I was exploring the kingdom a bit a few things were oddly similar"
Eric
Oh I've been to the dwarven caves, I tried using them as a shortcut but got a bit lost. *En stands up from her chair* If you're ready to go, then lets head out!
Dora
"Woah hold your horses there En. Do you even have any supplies to go on such a adventure?, you know like potions, a bed roll, food, stuff to start or make a fire with"

Charolett would count off the thing she said with her finger before stopping 

"Wait do you have any gold upon you?"
Eric
Ah, I suppose you're right. I have some food and plenty of gold. The rest I don't seem to have. I should probably get that stuff. I guess I'm just a bit excited I didn't think about supplies...
Dora
"It's quite alright I'm glad I asked"

Charolett would stand up and push in her chair, grab her staff and look back towards En

"Well them let's get to a general store, then we need to go to a herbalist since bottles break easily however herbs do not"

She would then take en out of the library and into the town where the first place they stop is at the Lancel general. A few on lookers stare at Charolett atire some Appalled and some with flirty gazes.

Grasping onto the door she swings the door open and gestures for en to go in first. Like one would expect in a general store it has most goods from dried meats, bread, bed rolls, camping supplies, a few random tools like shovels and pickaxes, potions and even the random items that adventurers that have sold not knowing what they do.

The owner is a human man with a full beard, Scar over his left blind eye and bald. He wears simple clothes and watches as the two enter along with a small smirk and friendly nod
Eric
*En looks around at all the supplies* Alright, as you said before, We'll need bedrolls, food, and stuff to start a fire. I have some food, but it'll only last an afternoon at least. *She grabs some food from the shelves, including some produce and salads* Ah, I should probably ask what your food preferences are. Im a vegetarian myself, so I won't need any meat
Dora
"Vegetarian what's that?, ah no matter I eat anything really but you don't have to worry about me"

She pats the side of her hip as a satchel strapped around her waist is actually a bag of holding that holds a great many of items without having to deal with the weight

"You get your things I'm gonna look around a bit"

Charolett then begins to wonder the shop picking up random items and placing them down. But then out of the corner of his eye she sees something interesting, it's a cloak it looks smokey and has a warm ash like fire on the it as well.

She takes it off the mannequin and walks over to the owner

"Hello there good sir do you know what this does by any chance?"
Eric
*En walks around the store, grabbing some bed rolls and bread* Hmm... *She checks everything that she grabbed, counting the amount of food she grabbed* Yes, I think we have enough. *She heads over to the counter to check out*
Dora
"Hello there shop keep I was wondering. How much is this random cloak for I couldn't find the price"

Charolett places the cloak down onto the counter
Betty
Shopkeeper: Ah, that cloak? Its quite a rare piece. It costs about 50g
Eric
*En places the things shes gather from the store onto the counter*

Shopkeeper: Alright lets see... *He starts to mumble to himself* That would be 15 silver and 12 copper

*En pulls out some coins from a pocket in her cloak, counts them, and places them onto the counter for the Shopkeeper to count*
Dora
Charlotte would sigh as that's all she has left so with a bit of sadness she places them down

"Rare aye I didn't see a name or price but whatever you say. Hey En are you ready?"

Charolett looks over at her new party member and the various things she has
Eric
Yep! Nice cloak by the way. *En would gather what she bought into her basket and carry the larger items in her arms such as the bedrolls* We just need to get some herbs or potions right?
Dora
"Luckily I got us covered there. Now then let's get going shall we who knows how long we have to walk for"

Charolett would take off her green cape and replace it with the ashen cloak, the cloaks ashen like fire pulses with a red and orange fiery light for a moment before settling down.

With a smile she walks towards the door and opens it

"Let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into shall we En?"
Eric
*En smiles in response* Lets! *Heading out the door of the shop, En would follow Charlotte toward their destination*
Dora
Leading the way Charolett is holding the book open while taking glances back and fourth through it. Currently the two are within a forest, the trees rustle and shake due to a strong gusty wind moving through them even taking a few leaves with it, Birds fly from branch to branch with the occasional chirp until a small hidden clearing shows a small stone gate with ruins written upon them.

Closing the book she walks up to them and runs her hand over thr writing as it seems to Absorb her mana and light up in a crimson red

"The earth does know a dwarves holds no bounds so she let's him free to dig in glee"

The gate then comes to life and in a swirling red flash mana fills the empty space of the gate

"Well looks like the book was right. You ready for this En?"
Eric
*En nods and steps forward towards the gates, smiling* This is all terribly exciting! *She then goes through the gates and takes a look around*
Dora
As the two emerged, they found themselves within a breathtaking sight. Before them lay a vast, abandoned dwarven city nestled within the heart of a colossal crystal-like cave. The cave itself was a marvel to behold, with towering walls glistening with enormous crystals that sparkled in the dim light. These crystals ranged in hues from translucent blues to radiant purples, casting a surreal, ethereal glow that bathed the entire cavern in an otherworldly luminescence.

The abandoned city within this cavern was a testament to the grandeur of dwarven craftsmanship. The architecture was a blend of intricate stonework and delicate metal filigree, adorned with ornate carvings that depicted ancient dwarven legends and history. The buildings, though now showing signs of neglect and decay, still retained an air of imposing grandiosity, with spires and arches reaching towards the cavern's lofty ceiling.

As En and Charlotte ventured deeper into the city, they marveled at the vast network of winding streets and broad plazas, all carved into the rugged stone of the cavern. Fading murals and faded banners hinted at the city's former glory, while the silence that hung in the air spoke volumes of its current desolation.

However, their wonder soon turned to dread as they realized the true nature of the city's inhabitants. The once bustling streets were now haunted by the wandering forms of dwarven zombies, their empty eyes and tattered garments a stark contrast to the vibrant life that once filled these thoroughfares. The echoes of their shuffling footsteps reverberated through the empty city, a haunting reminder of the tragedy that had befallen this once-thriving metropolis.

En and Charlotte understood that they had stumbled upon a place steeped in both beauty and peril, and they steeled themselves for the challenges that lay ahead as they sought to uncover the mysteries hidden within the abandoned dwarven city and the enigmatic crystal-laden cave that cradled it.
Eric
Wow, this place is absolutely breathtaking... Now, we'll probably need a plan to get past those zombified dwarves... *En looks around the area for possible paths to evade the zombies* Hmmm... You know any spells or have any potions that might be able to help us?
Dora
"Of course I have a spell"

Charolett would tap her staff in front of her and raises up her right hand. First a massive amount of heat could be felt from it and then a swirling ball of pure fire forms in her hand.

The ball of fire is around 10 inches tall and 5 inches wide and with a smile she yells out

"Fire ball!"

It then gets launched out of her hand and quickly flies towards the small group of zombies. Even before it could touch thier skin you can hear the sizzle and skin burning to a crisp before a big and loud explosion of flame amd ash goes off in front of the two with even a warm wind blowing past them. A few of the buildings as well as the ground is slightly scorched as a small zombie leg falls over and clatter to the ground as proof there was something there
Eric
Ah... I was thinking something more stealth, but that works too. *En looks at the burning zombies and then sees a tunnel to the next area* I think I found a tunnel to the next area! *She points towards the slightly large tunnel, with ornate columns holding up the path. She then feels the walls to check the angle of the walls*
Dora
Charlotte would look at the tunnel and look at the dead zombies. At first she thought everything was fine and that was until she heard the shuffling and moaning of more of them although this time there are more. Many of them seem to be like they were once soldiers adorning armor of the dwarves

"I hope your right!"

She then runs over and follows En down the path wondering where it leads as the zombies begin to follow
Eric
*Finding out the walls had an angle of over 90°, En began to walk on the walls towards the tunnel, watching Charlotte, making sure she doesn't get consumed by the zombie hoard*
Dora
Charlotte would put her hands forward and a swirling mass of fire forms and En feels a brisk wind flow across her face as it builds up behind the flame shooting ot forward causing a flame thrower to shoot out of her staff

"How in the fuck are you walking on the wall!?"

She says in a amazed tone as the zombies burn away inside of thier armor. Greedily she runs up to a few hot peices and stuff them inside as she punches and kicks a few zombies before they could bite her gaining a few sets of dwarven armor and Weaponry 

"Can't leave these behind haha!"
Eric
*En chuckles* Perks of being a satyr I guess *Eventually they reach the tunnel and emerge from the other side, with more of the abandoned city being revealed*
Dora
Charlotte would let off another fireball to cause the surrounding wall to crumble amd collapse. Breathing a sigh of relief for a moment she looks forward and on guard

"Few that was a close one... Well then be ready for more of them. This is a city after all"
Eric
*En lands on the ground and looks around* So, what exactly are we looking for here? Treasure perhaps? It is a dwarven city after all.
Dora
"I would assume so as well I'm not to sure what is here. You know dwarves are known for thier weapons and armor as well so they might have alot of really good ores laying around.

Should we go to the forge first?"
Eric
That sounds good to me *She looks around for the forge* Does it say anywhere in your book where that might be?
Dora
Charlotte nods 

"Yes let's search"

As they ventured deeper into the city, the architecture began to change, and they found themselves surrounded by towering structures that hinted at the city's industrial heart. The air grew heavy with the scent of metal and soot, and the distant clang of hammers on anvils echoed through the empty corridors. It was clear that they were drawing closer to their goal.

Finally, after much searching, they stumbled upon a massive chamber, its walls lined with ancient forges and smelting pits that lay dormant and covered in layers of dust. The air hummed with an eerie stillness, broken only by the occasional creaking of metal and the distant groans of the undead that still roamed the city streets outside.

As they cautiously made their way through the chamber, their eyes fell upon a colossal anvil, its surface marred with age but still bearing the unmistakable signs of countless masterful creations. Beside it, a grand forge stood as a silent sentinel, its fire long extinguished but its imposing structure a testament to the skill and artistry of the dwarven smiths who had once toiled within its embrace.

En and Charlotte knew that they had found what they sought—the fabled forge of the dwarven city. With a sense of awe and determination, they set about their task, gathering the necessary materials and stoking the dormant embers of the forge back to life. As the flames roared to life once more, casting flickering light and dancing shadows across the chamber, the two women knew that they stood on the precipice of unlocking the secrets hidden within the ancient city—a city that had long been lost to time and tragedy.
Eric
Oh wow, this is honestly so incredible! It's nothing like I've ever read in any of my books! *En looked at the armory nearby, spotting a silver chest piece* I'm not used to wearing armor, it can be quite heavy, but maybe I should step out of my comfort zone...
Dora
"That armor should suite you well however if you plan on being a magic caster I would prioritize clothes that are breathable or move able since most mages has enchantments or spells that can protect them"

Charlotte looks around the forge grabbing all sorts lf presents from iron, silver, gold, mythril to even platinum. Once she finishes looking around she sees a sword with a glowing aura in display. With curiosity she walks over and takes it off the display rack inspecting it but as she does so a large bang at the door can be heard along with the moans and scratches of the zombies

"En! We have company!"
Eric
! *En quickly puts the chest piece on and prepares to fight* Unless we have an escape plan, it looks like we're gonna have to fight them head on...
Dora
The door keeps getting banged, bashed and broken until it gets torn down causing a large pile of zombies to fall through the entry way.

Being in a room Charolett can't use hee most powerful spell. However seeing as how most of them are wearing armor she focuses her magic and tries to cast heat metal on multiple targets. The zombies inch closer and closer as she strains to cast it and just before one could take a swipe it shrieks in pain as the sound of skin being Singed and smell of burnt rotting flesh fills the air.

The armor ones thrash and move about before falling to the ground still and now the regular ones come in
Eric
*En charges at a group of the zombies and headbutts one of them in the stomach, sending them all back falling like bowling pins* Lets get out of here while we still can!
Dora
Looking around there is only one way out and that is through the horde that is still trying to cone through the door.

Looking around Charlotte wonders what to doe before having an idea. Quickly she casts 3 fire bolts that get sent into the dead forges re igniting thier flames.

"Hold them back the best you can for me!"

She then taps her fire staff onto the ground and a circle of flames appears. With a breath outward she would close her eyes and focus, all of the noise around her goes silent as she falls into a meditative state
Eric
*En fights them off one by one, punching, kicking, defending herself as best she can* *[Insert super cool fight move names here]*
Dora
To En it looks like Charlotte is simply meditating but within Charlotte a dance of fire and tolerance ensues as the spirits of fire within the ancient ruins relentlessly attack. 

With each attack Charlotte receives another scratch, burn, stab and even punch. Just as the zombies keep pouring in and almost overpowers En a sudden blast of warm air knocks all back except Charlotte who is within the circle.

First her fingers skin starts to peel over revealing a hot vibrant orange and as it peels and peels she even grows to a height of 6,5 and turns into a avatar of fiery.

With a large burst of energy she comes to her senses and unleashes a power flamethrower like attack burning the rotten flesh and dull bone of the zombie dwarves away.

She looks over to Ens and gives a nod as she walks towards the door leaving a foot print of magma with each step and even melting away the stone and wood leaving a outline of herself.

She then begins to fight all of the zombies that are coming to the shop and then some. As she fights she begins to get overpowered however she stretches out her hand into the air and calmly says

"Divine flame"

A loud and sudden burst of energy shoots upward into the cave ceiling even melting the top as a large flow of flame touches all that is made of flesh and bone burning it to ash.
Eric
*As this is happening, En is in awe of Charlotte as she decimates the zombie hoards* Woah... *Once the burst if energy is made, En covers her face/body with her arms to protect herself from the blast*
Dora
Luckily en is inside so the blast moves through the building and scorches the outer wall. After the flames die down Charlotte Floats down to the ground and her feet gently touch the stone before falling over.

Her spiritual body goes away and away before she is back to normal and now due to exhaustion sleeping
Eric
Charlotte! *En runs over to her sleeping body, and looks around to see if any zombies remained*
Dora
No zombies remained as now parts of the city is on fire due to cloth and wood however the castle is fine. In fact in her hands lays a golden, bejeweled encrusted crown with a large diamond in the middle
Eric
*En, with what surprising strength she had, picked up Charlotte and the crown, and headed to the surface*
