Unveiling Shadows: Pursuit of Eisenwald's Lair

The veil of memory teased at Ethan's consciousness, drawing forth remnants of a time long past. The bustling energy of Oshibana Town remained unchanged, but a distant recollection echoed within him—a fragment of his previous life.

In his former existence, Eisenwald's secret hideout lay concealed within the depths of a dark forest on the outskirts of Oshibana. The shadows seemed to whisper secrets of the guild's elusive headquarters, beckoning to Ethan, urging him to retrace the steps of his forgotten self.

With resolve in his heart, Ethan shared his memories with Erza and Elfman. "I remember something. The Eisenwald guild had a covert base situated in the dark woods surrounding Oshibana Town. We might find clues there."

Erza's keen gaze bore a sense of anticipation. "It could be the lead we need. Let's track it down."

Elfman nodded in agreement, his demeanor steadfast. "We'll assist you. The quicker we dismantle their operations, the better."

Together, the trio ventured forth, guided by Ethan's latent memories and their collective determination to root out the darkness seeping through Oshibana's edges. The forest's tangled paths whispered cryptic hints of the hidden guild, leading them deeper into the shadows of the ancient woods.

Ethan, Mirajane, Erza, and Elfman convened in a secluded corner of inn room. The room echoed with murmurs as they delved into strategizing their approach to Eisenwald's lair in Oshibana Town.

"We need a comprehensive plan," Ethan began, his tone resolute. "Eisenwald won't be an easy target. We must consider their defenses and tactics."

Mirajane nodded, her expression serious. "They won't expect an attack. But we must be cautious; they're notorious for their cunning."

Erza chimed in, "I'll scout the area. Getting an overview of their defenses will be crucial before we proceed."

Elfman clenched his fists, his determination evident. "I'll strengthen my Take Over magic. We need every advantage we can get."

Ethan drew a rough map of the forest surrounding Oshibana Town. "Their base is hidden within this dense forest. It's guarded, but we have to find the weak spots."

They exchanged ideas and devised a multifaceted strategy. Erza would undertake reconnaissance, mapping out entry points and patrol routes. Meanwhile, Mirajane would focus on concealing their presence with her abilities.

"We need to exploit their weaknesses," Erza advised. "Find any blind spots, traps, or lookout posts."

Ethan nodded in agreement. "I'll use my Belior Zakera to manipulate their perceptions. We'll gain the element of surprise."

Elfman pledged to reinforce his combat skills, readying himself for potential confrontations within the guild's confines. "I won't let my guard down."

As they deliberated, a plan took shape—a synchronized assault on Eisenwald's lair. Each member understood their role, leveraging their strengths for maximum impact.

"Remember, stealth is our ally," Ethan emphasized. "We aim to gather information without alerting them to our presence."

With a final review of their plans, they set a timetable for their mission and geared up for the operation.
