Roles

"Where is he currently?"

"He walked through the main entrance to the city, a couple others are following him at the moment. We assume he's heading towards one of the Clan's in the area."

"Any particular reason why?"

"No idea sir."

"Alright, take a break. I'll go gather the others. Xelfia, you stay here as well."

Walking down the steps Xilo was surprised Delfex decided to be so blatant with his arrival. "He's showing off that he isn't afraid." Delfex was a smart man and knew this was a trap without a doubt. Which means Delfex had something with him to secure his victory. "What is it though?" That was the question of the day Xilo thought about as he went to gather everyone. Xelfia tried to speak up and grab Xilo's attention as he walked away. "Nothing." Xilo didn't seem to hear her at all. "He's too focused." Crossing her arms she watched the girl's leaving as well, now she was all alone.

"I never did get a chance to talk to him."

Contemplating what to do in her head for a moment, Xelfia took a step down dairs as she felt her back lightly spasm. "I'm fine." Telling herself that she took another step as she quietly followed Xilo. Her back still hurt a bit but she knew she could fight. She healed a lot faster than anyone would have thought. Gathering everyone up Xilo went to tell Katrin and Aeon. Once they were aware he headed out to grab the few people Aeon had hired for him. It was only a couple people but they were good enough for this job. Without bothering to explain anything he told them to follow him as they went to their stations. Explaining the plan to everyone along the way Xilo made sure everyone was listening carefully.

"I'll be the bait, I plan to lure Delfex to a place nearby here that doesn't have many people. Hopefully because we end up so close to the Castle he will assume I'm trying to get their help and divert his attention."

Pointing at the people Aeon hired, Xilo told them their job.

"You six have a really simple job, I want you all to scout for anyone hiding in the shadows and tell one of the officers here if you notice anything. Afterwards you'll be paid and no you don't have to fight. Any questions?"

Xilo had Aeon find people who were good with detecting others and stealth. Keld and himself were the only ones in their small Clan that could do that but they would be busy with other things. Since Aeon hired these people as well, Xilo trusted their judgement. All the fighting would be left to them if there was any. If those explosives went off in the way Xilo hoped everyone would be wiped out or weakened significantly. "That's just the ideal though." Reality was sure to be different, which was why everyone was coming. This would either be really easy or a struggle.

Walking down the streets most still had people going back and forth even as it neared midnight. "The Clan he went to should be near the resident district." Xilo had checked with Aeon about the place and its name so that they knew where to go. "Apparently this Clan is infamous for information dealing and other crimes." Which would explain why Delfex went straight there. This City was huge and Xilo could have been hiding anywhere, any information helps in that situation. His Clan's people began to split up into smaller groups as they walked. Smaller groups like this were less noticeable and it helped set them up for dealing with the explosives.

"Each group gets one, you will all wait for my signal. No matter how much danger you think I'm in, do not come to help until they go off. No one is allowed to break that rule."

Xilo tried to say that as sternly as possible, he didn't have any room to be kind here. If Xilo wanted to hide everyone he would have to concentrate to his fullest and movement like that would be disastrous. Not even factoring in what Delfex would do if he saw other people coming. "Felli and Tearia along with Vandor will be with me." To not make it so obvious Xilo planned to bring a couple of people along to help lower Delfex's guard. Feeling his nerves spiking, Xilo took a deep breath to help calm himself down. What happened next was completely up in the air.

"Alright, since you all understand, get to your positions. After this is done we can hold a small celebration."

With no one asking any more questions Xilo heard quiet murmurs as they walked away to get set up. Everyone knew their job and what they had to do. Getting closer to the Clan area the four of them walked a bit slowly. Felli and Vandor were the strongest so Xilo brought them with him in hopes of tricking Delfex. Tearia was there as a way to anger him and finally him as well. When someone was angry they tended to let their guard down and make mistakes. All they had to do was play it naturally when Delfex started fighting and they would be fine.

"So how awake are you three?"

"More awake than before, I was just getting ready for bed too."

"I've had less sleep."

Felli and Tearia responded to his question while Vandor stayed silent.

"You alright Vandor?"

"Yeah, just trying to stay focused. You said this is important so I don't want any distractions. We can't afford it. Sorry."

Nodding his head Xilo understood what Vandor meant, he probably didn't want another mishap like before so he was staying fully focused.

Coming up on the Clan grounds Xilo created some Ice energy in his hands, it was time to make a bit of a scene and lure Delfex out.

"Delfex come on out, We know you're in there."
