[ BACKDATED from 2/22 - Video // Locked from known bad-guy types ]

[ The video as it turns on, shows Lucy sitting outside the Fairy Tail Guild, looking a little battered and weary, but not too badly injured. Mostly tired. Natsu is standing off to one side, glaring at a trio of men who were tied up with ropes. ]

For all those concerned, you may want to avoid the ruins that were uncovered. At least for a little while. While Natsu and I were searching the ruins, we came across some members of the Hands of Decay. I'm not entirely sure what they were looking for in those ruins - but whatever it was, they found it. [ She drummed her fingers against a strange looking book in her lap thoughtfully. ]

As some of you already know, mages in Fayren are not safe by any stretch of the imagination, especially when they don't take shelter where they can be protected, even temporarily. Those ruins... we found several mages who were kidnapped from their homes, left down in the lower floor of the ruins. The scum known as the Hands of Decay intended to leave 'bait' by them, and lure monsters to deal witht them when they were incapable of defending themselves. At the same time, they had also hired bandits - possibly as a distraction - that Natsu made short work of and...who the City Guard will be collecting shortly, but while we were down there, we accidentally woke an Earth Dragon. It's been dealt with but I don't know if there is anything else down there.

We -were- able to recover several mages - ten in total - from the lower level of the ruins, and transported them safely to our guild, Fairy Tail. They weren't too badly injured, thankfully, but they were--are-- very shaken up. Apparently they were all kidnapped, but I wasn't able to clarify if it was while they were in their homes, at work, or simply in the general area of Fayren. Unfortuantely, I was unable to identify the faces of the members of the Hands of Decay. [ If she hears them, on the other hand... ] But I delivered some of the information to the City Guard.

[ mainly because she didn't trust authoritarian figures, that was pretty much the extent of her interaction with them. Though if they'd wanted to ask questions, she'd cooperate enough to answer them - to an extent. ]

I want to reiterate, not to frighten but to inform. The Hands of Decay claim they only want to eliminate mages - or get rid of them. We don't know how they define "magic". At this point, they are targeting -anyone- who has any kind of 'ability', gift, or power. However you define it - if you can do something others can't, it's highly likely they'll lump you in with 'mages' as well. And though they are currently limiting their attack area to Fayren, there's really nothing that'd stop them from broadening their reach if they consider this a successful attack; and in addition to that, it could be mages today, their allies tomorrow. Anyone currently residing in Fayren, please be extremely careful and aware of your surroundings at all times. We don't fully know what these people are capable of yet. [ And there was something very, VERY suspicious about the way they were working. ]

Everyone; mage, non mage, whatever you classify yourself - Be careful out there and be safe.

[ She lets the feed end, but remained on standby if anyone had questions, naturally. Although after a few moments of careful thought, she adds another filtered lock to the post ]

Levy, I hope you can see this. I was wondering if you could check something in your bookstore, or the library for me?

[Levy is at her book shop which is only obvious because her phone is sitting on the counter. After hearing her name she flicks on a private channel to Lucy, only just slipping a book from her lap.]

Hey, lu, of course. What is it?

[If it's research she can most definitely help.]

[Kahlan has only learned the private function recently; otherwise she might not have sent this message at all. She's in her room though she makes sure the area is secure before speaking.]

It's nice to meet you Lucy. My companion and I live in Fayren; I still consider us new to this place however we've been here through a good portion of the winter. We had helped during the chaos a few nights ago and where we can with the relief. There is, however, very little I feel like I can do.

I am not a mage, however I do have abilities that are known as Confessor magic. my abilities allow me to tell if anyone is lying. This only pertains to the truth as they know it so it isn't infallible but I might be able to help you get information from those men. [It's far more complicated than that but she doesn't want to go into details.] There is more than I can do however, it comes at a heavy price and it is better used when the situation is dire.

[She pauses taking a deep breath.]

Either way, I'd like to offer my services. If you wished to talk more I'd rather it be in person.

[Levy smiles and nods.]

I found a book there too, I've been trying to figure it out. I can definitely look into finding information about that too.

[She'd love to stop by the guild and see it again.]

Let me see what I can find first and I'll swing by.

An earth dragon?

{ No, no. Don't get side-tracked. God Serena would have gotten a kick out of that one, but he's not here. Which is probably a good thing.

There's an eerie quiet around Zeref; there's the sound of wind, suggesting he's outside, but it's almost too quiet for any of the five cities. Perhaps there's a reason he has the camera turned off?
}

They're getting bolder, Lucy. I'd like to reiterate that my offer for help with them still stands. They're every bit as much of a threat to me as they are to you.

Don't worry. Yuuko and I can take care of ourselves.

{ Very few people can even see the Wish Shop, let alone pose a threat to it. Good thing, too; Clow really, really doesn't want to get into a fight. }

I appreciate the heads-up, though.

It isn't your fault or your burden to bear. [She smiles.] I am always happy to help out the people. That is my duty as a Confessor and while it's nothing in comparison to a wizard's gift I understand that this group only sees the world in white and black.

[Kahlan is currently in a professional mode.]

If it is alright to meet in person and talk more. I don't know how secure this form of communication is.

You are at the building towards North of town? [She remembers Richard mentioning it.]

I am willing to offer myself as bait. More specifically, a Thought Projection. Natsu has encountered one of my Projections before, and Ankhseram Black Magic doesn't radiate through those.

{ Zeref sighs. Normally, this is something he'd send one of the Twelve out to deal with, like Ajeel, Wall, or Dimaria. He, himself would have zero trouble with this group. But... }

I... Think I may be drawing their attention, soon. I'm not worried, I've dealt with far worse than them. But, this type of group places me in a disadvantageous position. Killing them would only give them what they want: A martyr. And most of my magic isn't good for much else other than that.

To that end, I'm willing to help you set a trap for them.

{ You're talking to the most maddeningly unhelpful magical girl mentors in the history of the genre, Lucy. }

All will end well. You'll see.

Has Sakura been informed of these criminals?

[Kahlan nods her head remembering the building. If not she's sure that Richard know it well.] I think I can find you.

If it isn't to much trouble for me to stop by?

[There isn't much she's willing to say though she knows that both this girl and her friend are telling the truth.]

[Levy smiles brightly at her friend.]

It is and I still haven't decoded it but I'm working on it. I'm sure I'll be able to get it.

[With that she hangs up the phone and begins to set to work. She packs a few things, including a few changes of clothes, the old book and some reference materials she's collected on language. With everything set she ties up her hair and walks from her room. Her pokemon headbutt into her ankle and smiles giving the little fire pig a note for her roommate. She might be gone for awhile so she'll leave notice.

After that she'll slip from her home and head towards Fayren and the Fairy Tail guild. It doesn't take her too long and the walk is nice. She pulls at her backpack as the weight slowly grows from travel. When she arrives she knocks before stepping inside.]


Lu-chan? You here?

I will.

[Kahlan smiles before turning off the strange device and getting ready to head out. She leaves a note for Richard and then pulls on her traveling jacket. With everything set she walks from her room at the Inn. It doesn't take very long to get there considering she too lives in Fayren.

When she arrives she notes the building before lightly rapping on the door.]

[Levy smiles and walks inside. Her eyes quickly glance over the gathering before landing back at Lucy.]

Popular as always, do you have the book here?

[Not that she wants a short reunion but she can't help but be curious.]

I brought stuff to stay.

I understand. You know how to reach me if you decide to accept.

{ He hasn't seen Natsu in a while; he's curious to know if those bandages are still there. Not that it matters; even if he gave it another (so to speak) try, he wouldn't stay dead here, anyway. It was a moot point. It would be best if he just forgot about it entirely, for the duration of the time he spends in Genessia.

At least, until he gets the rest of the charms.
}

Winter is ending. { Captain Obvious. } They will begin to notice that, with all of the time I've been spending in Fayren lately, that some of the trees and animals near the outskirts of Fayren are dead, despite spring coming. They will probably blame magic for it, it is entirely possible that they will realize that I am the source.

She has short, brown hair, and she's in her mid-teens. { He'd rephrase and ask if she offered to help with them, but that answered his question. }

If she offers to help with them, I'd like to speak to her, first. If at all possible, of course.
