Lemuria[]
Long ago, before the age of piracy, in an ancient past, a group was made called the Hand on the legendary soil of Lemuria, this group was made by no other than the great Banzer. This group known as Hand rose to power without any pirates and the World Government having a clue about how, when, why, or where it was made. Banzer set up his base of operations on the holy land of Lemuria which was protected by mythical nature. Centuries of knowledge has been passed on from each Demons Head giving the knowledge of 500 years into one individual to hold it all.
"It's is gonna be a full moon tonight, we will need to be on surveillance throughout the island," the Demons Head said to one of his men covered in a black suit while looking at the sky feeling the gentle breeze, "take twenty men all with a den den mushi, groups of 4 to cover each entry of the island." The Demon Head said while playing with his ring as he got up and headed towards the forest to see how the harvest on the poison was going. While the Demons Head was headed towards the forest, he felt a strange feeling, a feeling as if a beast or a monster would show up on Lemuria so he called one of his men with the den den mushi alerting them that danger will appear soon so they should get one of the elites to be on the frontlines to greet the invaders and to use the flare once they find the danger.
At the forest, the Demon's Head checked the amount of poison they caught from the natural life. "This should be enough for at least 6 more full moons. This is good, continue," he said as he walked through the forest checking everything to make sure it's all in order. After a couple of hours of checking it through, he got to the conclusion that it was going well and head back up to his quarters to continue training his Beast Mode and his swordsmanship.
The Expedition Begins[]
Kelly Baker had heard many tales of ancient and hidden lands throughout his years of study and adventure. Islands hidden by mists, treacherous currents and even mythical beasts have always drawn Kelly's attention. Just the thought of what could be hidden away got him excited. What animals and plants could be found? Were there people on these remote islands, and if so what is their culture like? These thoughts raced through the young Librarian's mind as he approached Lemuria. He guided his large vessel through the waters and the dense fog that guarded the island. Kelly had spent time studying the island and it's currents and found that the best time to approach was during a full moon. The currents changed and the sea calmed enough to bring his ship, Thoth's Truth, to anchor in a small bay.
The skeletons of ships poke through the water's surface as a reminder of the danger Kelly was getting involved with. He knew once he made landfall he would most likely be stuck on the island until the next full moon. He had accounted for this and had plenty of supplies for himself and the small crew of his ship. He even brought gear to explore the wrecked ships in a safe...ish manner. The small crew get the ship anchored and secure while Kelly takes in his first view of the island proper. Now that the curtain of fog was pierced he could see the massive mountain standing proudly over a sea of forest. Kelly gathers his rucksack of supplies and double checks his weaponry. Both his pistols are loaded and ready for use and his knives are secure in their holsters on the back of his belt. With the rucksack slung over his shoulder Kelly walks down the plank connecting Thoth's Truth to the nearest beach. He doesn't give any orders to his crew, they have travelled with him for a long time now and knew how he operated. The crew would keep safe on the ship while keeping a lookout for danger. Kelly would return whenever he decided and would check in each day on his den den mushi. Kelly stands on the beach of the bay, inhaling the fresh night air and smiling. He is excited to find what this island has to offer.
The Demon's Head's orders were clear, Go to the intruders which set foot on the island and greet them. After greeting them send a flare to show the position of where they were located. Mithrix was walking around the forest, He was one of the elites in the Hand. Walking around the forest which he and the others called home he had no problems navigating it. "I wonder what's going to happen with the intruders, Although I truly don't care too much," Mithrix thought to himself as he continued walking around the forest in hopes of finding the people which had set foot on the island. Mithrix walked towards the southern beach where there was a small bay. Getting visuals on the group of people Mithrix reported on the den den mushi "There is a small crew, They don't seem like the hostile types.. One guy is leaving the boat whilst the others seem to stay," Mithrix whispers into the den den mushi.
Mithrix's piercing green eyes were following the movements of the people, Preparing to take them down if they show any hostile intent whilst preparing for whatever they wanted to do here. Seeing as one of them had left the boat he seemed to be the easiest to approach out of the bunch, Deciding to want to see what they were about Mithrix walked closer without leaving any sound or trace behind him. Nimble on his feet he moved closer using the darkness as his cover, Until he was just a few meters away from the stranger. Without the stranger being aware of Mithrix who was now standing upright right behind him Mithrix laid his hand on the strangers shoulders whilst still prepared to take him out if he were to scream. "Visitors, For what reason are you on the island?" Mithrix asked as he followed up with, "If you were to scream to alert your crew none of you will make it very far," Mithrix said whilst chuckling. Mithrix green piercing eyes were almost glowing in the dim moonlight as they were set on the strangers crew, Ready to take them out in case the person he was talking to were to alert them.
Having sensed that he was being watched Kelly smiles when the man reveals himself. Kelly is almost giddy now that he knows there are inhabitants on this strange island. His voice is calm and relaxed when he speaks. "Now why would I scream and upset the quiet nightlife of the island? I would much rather walk around silently and observe the wildlife. My name is Kelly, are you here to act as my guide of the island? Are you local to this island? Are there many people here? What are the seasons like here?" Kelly's voice started calm but he is getting more excited while he asks questions. Despite his easily excitable demeanor, Kelly is far from defenseless. From Mithrix's position behind Kelly he might not see that Kelly is holding one of his pistols, the barrel pointing back towards Mithrix, under Kelly's jacket.
On Thoth's Truth the crew is finishing preparing the ship to sit in the bay and are winding down for the night. A few men keep watch and set up a game of cards on the deck. The first mate tells them to keep the noise down otherwise Kelly might get angry with them. One man blows off the warning but a veteran of the crew informs him that if the crew were to cause Kelly to miss out on some information or ruin his exploration in any way that sailor would never sail again.
Mithrix sighed as he walked closer to the man, Placing his hand on his shoulder whilst keeping close track on his movements. "Would you mind just coming with me, It would be much easier than knocking you out and carrying you around, It would cause us both a hassle," Mithrix says in a calm and collected voice as his eyes were dead set on the backhead of Kelly. "I'm no such thing as a guide, However someone asked to see you as you stepped foot on the island. Therefor I'll bring you with me no matter what," Mithrix says as his grip on the shoulder slightly hardens, Still not hard enough for it to hurt just to send a message that he is serious.
"We'll need to head up the mountain which is quite cold for someone who isn't used to it," Mithrix started smiling revealing his razor sharp teeth and lizard tongue. Letting go of the mans shoulder Mithrix jumped on top of a nearby tree without making a sound, As he waited for him to respond. Depending on the answer from the man the outcome would differentiate, Either Mithrix would have to knock him out or guide him to the boss. Mithrix smile widened as he was thinking of the boss, Knowing full well that if Kelly would try something the boss would kill him slowly as he torments him for hours or even days.
Kelly seems unfazed by the man's vague threats and mysterious nature. Once the pressure on his shoulder is released Kelly turns around and smiles in Mithrix's direction in the trees. He holsters his pistol and claps, rubbing his hands together excitedly. "So you aren't a guide, yet you'll guide me to the mountain? Who is this mystery person that wants to see me?" While he speaks he takes out a small notebook and begins writing. "Are the other people on this island as secretive as you are? What's your name? What animals do you raise here? How often do you get visitors?" Kelly is completely at ease in this odd and tense situation. It seems he has been in this situation before and his never ending curiosity still demands he seek answers to all his questions.
The men on Thoth's Truth either have not noticed the brief interaction between Kelly and Mithrix or have decided to act as though they didn't see it. Either way most of the men go below deck for the night and a few remain to keep watch and play cards.
Chuckling Mithrix responds "Well aren't you a carefree one, Guide or not that doesn't matter now does it. I'll take you to the person in question and you follow," Mithrix jumped down from the tree with a caterpillar in his palm. Biting the head off of the caterpillar Mithrix made a slurping noise as he sucked up the rest of it. "Let's start moving then," Mithrix said as he started moving towards the snow covered mountain. "The walk will take some time, But given how curious you seem I suppose you will feel like it's going to be a quick walk," Mithrix said as he looked over his shoulder towards Kelly.
Mithrix put his hand in his pocket, Taking hold of a smaller den den mushi he pressed on and off sending a morse code to the others, *.. .* *. .* *.. ..* *. .* *.. .* *.. .. .* - *.. . . .* *. ..* *.. .* *.. . ..* - *. .. ..* *. .* *..* *. . . .* - *. .. .. .* (Coming back with 1). Sneering over his shoulder he saw the scientist taking notes of things, Things that Mithrix problably wouldn't care about in the least. Mithrix thought about the walk back and what an annoyance it would be if the scientist would be taking notes the entire time, "Could you perhaps refrain from taking notes so we don't take all night?" Mithrix asked in an annoyed tone. Feeling his stomach grumbling he knew this was going to be a long walk.
Kelly tilts his head slightly when Mithrix eats the caterpillar. He makes a few scribbles on his notebook while he walks behind Mithrix. His head darts from one area to the next, observing everything the island has to offer. Even though he isn't looking at the notebook he continues writing. "I see you're not the most talkative type, what a shame. Are there people that are indigenous to this island? Based on your looks and body I'd wager you weren't born here." Despite the questions and the note taking Kelly keeps a good walking pace. "I could refrain from taking notes but I see no reason to stop. As far as I'm aware this island hasn't been documented so I'd like to gather everything I can. Surely you aren't afraid of me taking notes?" Kelly jests with a smile.
Kelly and Mithrix started their walk through the forest, Slowly reaching the mountainfoot. Kelly kept asking questions to Mithrix who most often ignored them as they walked however he answered very few. Any bug, Animal or edible plant they came across Mithrix would eat up without hesitation. The moon casted a glooming shadow through the clouds as they walked up the mountain making their way towards the peak.
Drawing closer towards the peak the snow reached up to their knees, Most people would suffer frostbite from reaching the peak and staying for too long however Mithrix's hot blood allowed him to walk without suffering the risk of frostbite. At the utmost peak of the mountain a temple could be seen, As they walked closer it grew larger and larger. Kelly and Mithrix walked up to a large stone door which had a swirling pattern steeming from the center of it, An inscription could be read saying "Yami no te". Mithrix put his hand to his mouth, Cutting it against his razor sharp teeth letting out a stream of steaming blood. He then put his hand in the middle of the swirling pattern. His blood flowed through the pattern, Filling the pattern out. A voice could be heard from the inside asking "What is the greatest illusion?", Mithrix responded by saying "Innocence".
The stone door to the temple opened up, Nobody could be seen anywhere near the door. Starting to walk inside Mithrix felt fear, Knowing that Demon's Head was in his beast form he let a drop of sweat form on his forehead however he quickly calmed down and continued walking inside. Continuing to walk in a straight line through the temple the sound of punching and things breaking could be heard from the direction they were heading towards, Mithrix felt the aura of a demon, Mithrix who usually doesn't feel fear, He felt true fear towards the aura. They eventually reached the doors to the training hall, Walking inside Mithrix kneeled and introduced the intruder as Kelly, Then rose to his feet and walked to stand by the door guarding it.
First Impressions[]
Confrontation between two leaders
Peak of Lemuria
"Finally here I see, I'm known as the Demon's Head. The man who leads and protects this holy land, the base of Hand... Lemuria. I'd tell you more, but I'd have to kill you to do so," The Demon's Head said as he calms down his haki, turns back to normal and puts his clothes back on normally, "so what are you doing here? Why are you here? I'd like to hear only the truth if you lie. I promise you, we will know and you will suffer for it." He continued saying as he picked up two knives from the ground. He threw one beside Kelly and one in the air right after he picked up the two knives. "Oh yeah and I'd like to know where you docked your ship, there is no way you got here without it," The Demon's Head said as he caught his other knife that he previously threw into the air and then coated it in haki and threw it at the knife he previously threw beside Kelly, which sliced the previously thrown knife in two.
Kelly's eyes dart around the building while he is lead to the Demon's Head. The hairs on his arms stand up from the powerful presence he feels radiating from the inner chambers. While he understands this man must be powerful he shows no fear. Kelly closes his notebook and holds it under his arm when he lays eyes on the scarred man. Kelly bows, then smiles and addresses the Head. I have heard that before, but it never seems happen. I apologize for intruding upon holy land, I had no idea this island was holy, or even inhabited. I came here to learn about the island, to record the wildlife, and see what interesting treasures might be hiding here." Kelly's eyes follow the knives that cut through the air. He continues speaking, "My ship is anchored in a bay a bit from here. I'm sure your men have found it already, it isn't hidden. From observing the island and the weather I realized that on a full moon the weather and ocean calms substantially." Kelly remains relaxed but is clearly excited to be having this conversation.
"So you're a researcher? Interesting, well everything you have found out about this island, every way to survive, how to get on and literally anything is confidential. Traditionally, if anyone finds out about it dies. So it's either you die and we get people who know you, find out about us. This we don't need, how about you keep this a secret in exchange for your life? Additionally, researchers know a lot of things, I'd like you to tell us everything you know and anything you learn on your journey. If you agree, you can walk out of here alive but if you don't, you will be killed extremely slowly. Slow enough for you to feel extreme pain for several days. Additionally, we will check your whole ship and kill anyone on board but thats a nuisance. You have 5 minutes to make your decision," The Demon's Head said before he pulled out his den den mushi and told his men to stand by but be ready to terminate.
Kelly's expression shows a slight amusement at the proposition presented to him. His smile doesn't waver and he asks, "A researcher, explorer, broker, entrepreneur all in one. What is it you do here? You say this is a holy land but you don't want to spread your religion? You talk about death and killing so carefree it leads me to think you're an underworld group, perhaps mercenaries or assassins. I know a lot about a lot of different topics, and if I don't know it I guarantee one of my librarians knows it. Instead of threatening death for silence, why don't we come to an agreement? I'm sure we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement for both of us. Information, specialized drugs that enhance or hinder, there are many things I am able to offer. But what is it you can offer?" Kelly speaks politely but excitedly. He doesn't bother trying to hide that he is enjoying the negotiation.
"You catch on quick, l heard librarian? How much do you know about history? What can Hand offer, this must be a joke. You have surely seen my men, we have people everywhere, power everywhere. You give us information, be our line of information so we are caught up with everything that happens and everything that has happened and you get treated like a member of Hand, better yet, a brother of Hand. An Alliance between us and you, we can offer great protection," The Demon said as he put up his fist and coated it in Busoshoku Haki, "I guarantee you, you do not want to wrong us. You won't be able to live to tell the story if you do. If you want to see our capabilities, you can fight me or Mithrix over there." He continued saying with a smile as he fixed his posture and walked in a circle, "You are a curious fellow asking about Hand I see, either join us through alliance or beat me in a trial by combat." He said while staring into Kelly's eyes with murderous intent.
Kelly weighs the man's words while watching him pace. He looks from the Head to Mithrix and back. "I have seen your men, and they do appear formidable. I know history, more than most I dare say. History is one of the greatest mysteries to unravel, don't you agree? Some true gems and hidden treasures can be recovered by shining light onto the dark past." Kelly folds his arms and raises one hand to his chin. "I have no doubts about your physical capabilities, you clearly outmatch me in that aspect. My information network with the security you and your men could provide would be substantial. But uncovering the secrets I have was not a cheap endeavor. While I would be more than happy to share my knowledge on any subject, I would require appropriate compensation so that I can continue my work. But as a sign of good will," Kelly slowly reaches into his rucksack and produces four small vials of black liquid. The bottles are labeled ていちょう ('teichou', Sluggish), われやすい ('wareyasui', Fragile), つよさ ('tsuyosa', Strength), and いそぎ ('sogi', Speed). He holds the vials out toward the Head, two in each hand. "These are freshly made, two will boost your power if you tattoo or ingest the liquid. The other two will greatly hinder a target if they ingest it or otherwise absorb it. I call them Ink Drops." He grins when he says the name of his drug. "I'm sure these will be beneficial to your practice of murder."
"Interesting, I'd like that.. You say compensation? You get to walk off this island alive and you get this knife," The Demon Head said as he takes out one of his special knives, "I will also send some men to escort you out of this nasty part of the ocean. Additionally, if you ever wish to contact us, make sure to use this type of ink," He continued saying as he threw a vial of special ink at Kelly, "it only shows up when it is exposed to some sort of extreme thermal heat like fire. Oh and take these," He said as he threw a special den den mushi that only others with the same type can communicate with and an eternal log pose. "I think I gave you enough things for compensation, this alliance shall help us both ways, the lost history of how Hand was formed will finally be revealed. Now if you agree my men can help you explore while I train." He said as he turned around and picked up his sword.
Kelly catches the knife and other items tossed to him. He inspects the knife to see what makes it special, and pockets the ink, eternal log pose and den den mushi. While inspecting the knife he speaks to the Head. "I see, that will do for now then. If you don't mind, researching a secret organization can be tricky under the best of circumstances. I'm sure you are aware that I will need to learn everything I can about Hand if I am to help you find your lost history. If you want more security that I won't reveal your secrets we can sign a contract. The contracts I am able to make are special, whoever signs won't be able to break the contract." He puts the knife on his belt with his own knives.
"That's unique indeed, you can explore but you will be accompanied by my men. It appears you are confused as to why that knife is unique? Well it shares the blood of every leader of Hand, going back 500 years, it's one of a kind. Make sure not to clean it," The Demon said as he snapped his hand to alert Mithrix to get some men and help out Kelly with his journey, "We will help you off this island when you need to get off, oh and do you have a vivre card? We'll need one for you," He said as looked at Mithrix, hinting at him to make Kelly a vivre card if he said he doesn't have one. After he said all of that he left the temple but before he left he said the words, "That's all for now, Mithrix will help you from now on until you leave. Mithrix spark a flare before he leave so I don't miss it. I need to go train with nature, oh and if anyone finds out about us, you will die slowly, this is your first and final warning."
"Ah, what a lovely weapon. So thats a no on the contract then? Very well. I do have a vivre card, here you go." " Kelly pats the hilt of the blade on his waist. He then rummages through the pockets on his jacket. He holds out the piece of the vivre card. He rolls his eyes at the last mention of a slow death. "Yes, yes, if I betray the Hand I'll pay. You've made that clear my friend. Now, Mithrix, is there a library or location here where you hold your history and teachings?" Kelly's excited personality has not wavered in the slightest since meeting the Demon Head. "If I can start there and got a decent grasp on the history you know of the Hand then I'll have a much more solid path to start my research."
"Indeed we have a library, Not that I've ever gone there myself really so I can't say if we have anything surrounding our history in the form of books," Mithrix said whilst opening the door behind him. Mithrix started to walking straight forward the way they came, However he turned right after a short while which led to a set of stone stairs leading upwards. Entering the second floor there wasn't much to mention other than a few members which walked past Kelly and Mithrix. Finally closing in on a wooden door Mithrix opened it, A library unfolded before them as they entered. Some books dated back a few hundred years whilst some were from this era. "Knock yourself out Kelly, I suppose you will take some time here reading through some of the material," Mithrix chuckled as he started leaning towards a nearby wall, Moving his hands into his pockets to relax.
The Exploration[]
Kelly follows, his hands in his jacket pockets while they walk through the building. He looks at the other members curiously but his eyes light up when Mithrix opens the door to the library. Though it is small and unimpressive Kelly looks eager to start digging through the books and scrolls. "So you've never been curious about the history of your group? Who started it? What lead them to start it? Where they learned their techniques and why they chose to pass them on to you?" He speaks to Mithrix but doesn't take his eyes off the books that he begins to take from the shelves. He takes book after book and begins to read through them at incredibly fast rates. "There is a lot of interesting information here, there are events that I believe the Hand caused but were never credited for. Some assassinations...bombings...fascinating. The Hand has managed to stay so far under the radar for years." Kelly begins to talk to himself about the history of Hand while he reads over the texts. Occasionally he finds something that excites him and he explains a connection to the Hand he made based on information he has from separate events.
"The only thing I care about is serving Mr. Demon's Head really, When it comes to other things I don't really care much to be honest," Mithrix said as he kept his eyes on Kelly who read through book after book in fascination. Mithrix couldn't help but grow a smile over the mans ambition and how much he seemed to enjoy it. Letting his eyes wander up to the ceiling Mithrix started thinking about when he first joined, How he was nothing but a young teenager who had left his tribe. Mithrix eyes fell from the roof as they wandered back to Kelly who was ingulfed in the different books, Each book he read through was faster than the last. "You're really ambitious I see, Well you could always sum up whatever you seem to find about the start and all that," Mithrix said in a voice which tried to hide his curiousity. Kelly's ambition was so great that it even affected Mithrix slightly.
Kelly pays little attention to anything else happening around him as he speeds through the books. When Mithrix speaks Kelly responds without breaking his concentration on the book in his hand. "This collection is fantastic, there are documents here that probably don't exist any where else. Though there are so many different codes, aliases and unexplained events listed in these pages. It makes it difficult to connect all the pieces. I'll need to get into other sources and cross reference dates, locations and names when I leave here." Kelly has begin to write down notes in huis note pad. If Mithrix glances at them the notes will make little sense to him. The notes are a mix of names, locations, numbers and symbols that Kelly has decided are worthwhile. He also begins to draw thin lines connecting some of the names to dates to locations but it appears to be an interwoven mess.
Mithrix snuck a peak into the notebook of Kelly, However none of it made much sense to him. Deciding to go do something else Mithrix snapped his finger gently, This caused a lower ranked Hand member to appear next to him. "Tell Mr. Kelly to see Mr. Demon's Head when he's done scribbling his notes," Mithrix told the lower ranked member. Mithrix walked out of the room and headed towards the leader Demon's Head. Arriving to his leader he kneeled and bowed his head before him, Reporting about the situation and how exalted Kelly was over the library. Once Mithrix had finished his report he awaited his leaders conclusion over the situation whilst still kneeling.
"Good, any idea what he found out? I'd also like him to inform us about outside events no matter how big or small," The Demons Head said as he signalled Mithrix to back up and for another three members to spar him. "You guys ready? Too bad," He said as all three dashed at him, he quickly hit the first persons sword throwing it to air and kicking him to the ground, he then quickly turned around and punched the other guy straight to the floor knocked out and for the last guy, he kicked him to the face. "Mithrix, can you take them away and get them treated?" He said before he licked the blood off his hand.
Kelly spends nearly two hours in the library before he is satisfied with what he has found. His notebook is full of numbers, names and references to things only Kelly knows. A few pages have a timeline that has marks all across it, some marks pointing to locations or other dates. A large list of names and aliases fill another page, with lines connecting some and other various scribbles in the margins. The Hand member escorts Kelly back to the Demon's Head. Kelly bows slightly when he sees the man, his face almost frozen in a wide smile. "I must say I'm impressed with the library you have here, and with the Hand in general. It seems your organization has hand a part in many different events but always remains out of the spot light. It's rather impressive." He begins looking around at the architecture of the building they are in. "However, your records don't have much information about the island itself. Were these buildings here from locals before you, or is this all work of the Hand? It isn't very clear, but I have a few ideas on where to start searching." From the way he is looking around and reaching for his notepad, Demon's Head and Mithrix get the feeling Kelly might start asking a lot of questions about things they might not necesarrily care about.
Mithrix noticed how Kelly was about to unleash a series of questions, Questions Mithrix knew he either didn't know or care about. Following the instructions of Demon's Head, Mithrix threw the three unconcious men into the air, Catching them on his shoulder and started to walk towards the infarmacy. The men groaned in agony as they were beaten relentlessly by the leader, Mithrix cracked a smile knowing that the leader is still in top shape and hasn't lost his touch in the slightest. Reaching the infarmacy Mithrix threw the men onto different beds where they would get treated. Mithrix started heading back towards Demon's Head and Kelly, But remembering that Kelly was about to unleash his relentless assault of questions he decided otherwise and changed his direction towards the living quarters. Walking into his room Mithrix took a seat against the wall and closed his eyes, Starting to relax and on the verge of falling asleep.
Kelly glances at Mithrix when he leaves but directs his attention to the leader. "How many previous leaders has the Hand had? How long have you been the leader? Has Lemuria always been the home base for the Hand? Who taught you to make use of the wild life here to make poisons?" Even though he looks like he could keep going for hours Kelly stops himself. He raises his hands a bit apologetically. "ah, though if you don't want to share all that information then I won't ask. I'll just have to figure out different avenues to explore to get the answers we're looking for..." He trails off, mumbling to himself about who would have the specific things he is looking for, and how hard it would be to convince people to share their information.
"Previous leaders? 5 others, including me, 6. I've been one of the Demons Head for around 3 decades now, Lemuria has been our home around 500 years now. Before the time of Pirate King Luffy and Roger. We have controlled certain events and manipulated them to our choosing to keep humanity itself safe. Who taught me how? The previous Demons Head, it is the role of the Demons Head to get the other one ready for battle, how to keep the island safe, and training. If you want, you can get some of the poison and examine it. Though I have no clue what use you can get from it," The Demons Head said as he headed over to his chair to relax, "so any other questions? If not, it would do you good to leave now rather than later because later on there will be a big storm." He said as thunder struck the island.
Kelly jots down a few notes while the leader speaks. "I'll take a sample, if I am able to break it down I might be able to find where else it has been used or where else it can be produced. If there are other places the Hand has occupied there could be secrets hidden there. But I believe that is all I need from you all here for now." He bows to the Demon's Head. "You and your men have been fantastic hosts. I'm glad we were able to come to an understanding and I look forward to working with the Hand." Kelly stands straight and grins. "You'll be informed as soon as I find out anything I believe would interest you."
"Glad to hear that," The Demons Head said as he sat down and clapped his hands causing 5 of his members to drop down from the roof to help Kelly and his group get out of our climate in safety, "these guys can help you get out if you leave in 4 hours. You have around 4 hours before the storm actually starts, if you leave after the 4 hour time mark we won't be able to send any help with you guys." He said as he got up and walked over to one of his men to say, "Go get Mithrix to help you guys with this." Half a second after the Head said that, he ran out of the temple towards Mithrix to go tell him the will of the Demon's Head. "Well this should be my last time seeing you today, have a informative journey." The Demon Head said to Kelly.
"I appreciate the assistance." Kelly smiles and turns to leave the temple. With the guidance of the Hand members Kelly gathers multiple vials of poisons and blood samples from the animals on the island. The Hand members work quickly and hand the resources to Kelly. With the wind picking up the small group then leads Kelly back to his ship in the bay. The Thoth's Truth's crew is running around on the deck preparing for the incoming storm. A look out greets Kelly and the men give a cheer that their captain has returned before the storm hits. Kelly gets the crew prepared to set sail and the ship leaves the bay two hours before the storm arrives at the island.
Fin
