Life's Alphas and Omegas

Continued from Head North, to Omega

The confrontation has finally arrived, the Six Hunters of Vengeance have reached the North, the Siblings have teamed up with The Shadow and they've arrived in the North as well. The Twelve of The Omega are unaware of them for now, but what is the device the Leaders of The Twelve spoke of? Who's truly in the most danger right now? The Twelve? The Six? Or the Siblings and the Shadow?"

The Six meet The Siblings and The Shadow
"Getting to the north feels like it'll take forever..." a voice carried back to the ears of mage in blue.

"Someone's ahead of us," the mage in blue said, the five mages with him all slowed to a stop as he continued forward to investigate.

"Someone's following us." a shadowed man said to the two following him. All three stopped and turned to face the approaching mage.

"Who are you three?" the blue mage asked, staying far enough away to be able to see them and speak easily, but far enough away so that he could easily dodge any incomeing attacks.

"Who are you and the five with you?" the shadowed man asked in return.

"We are mages with the House of Life Guild, who are you?" the blue mage replied.

"We are unassociated mages, heading north." the shadowed man replied.

"Unassociated how?" the blue mage asked.

"We aren't part of any guilds or organ-" the shadowed man started.

"Oh, for the love of!" the girl shouted, the blue mage recognized her voice from earlier. "I'm Caley Dullahan, Celestial Wizard, he's my brother Thane Dullahan, Card Wizard, and the man you've been talking with is Tamashi Kui! We're heading North to beat The Dodekathlon!"

The shadowed man, Tamashi Kui, and the blue mage were both shocked by the girl's sudden outburst. The other five members of the House of Life had come running when they heard shouting.

"Now tell us who you and your friends are!" Caley demanded.

"My name is Sobek." the blue mage replied, then gestured to the others as he said their names. "With me are Thoth, Serket, Ra, Bastet and Set. We are going north for the same reason."

"Really?" Caley asked, looking happier. "Then we should all work together!"

"I don't think so!" Serket said. "We're not gonna take resposibility for you three! We don't have time to watch your backs too!"

"You don't have to watch our backs." Tamashi said abruptly. "We'll watch our own backs, but the girl has a point. Nine mages working together stand a better chance against twelve, than six and three working seperately."

"He's got a point." Ra said, Bastet nodding in agreement.

"Fine! But I don't want to hear a thing about protecting them!" Serket said.

"Then we're in agreement." Caley said happily. "Let's get going then!"
