The Wailing Slough. . . a slimy swamp full of all sorts of nasty creepy crawlies and, as luck would have it, the home of the elusive Essence Herb, Aurelio's mark for this job he found himself on. While typically not the sort of work Aurelio would find himself doing as a Rune Knight, he was on leave for the next few days and the young Slayer was never one to stay idle for long. Even on his days off, he'd rather be training and working than relaxing. And today was no different. . . a simple job, on paper, but Aurelio knew that in the world of magic and monsters, nothing was ever truly that simple. If he got into a fight. . . all the better!
What's more is who is partner for today was: a man named Orion Glory. Aurelio had heard the rumors about him. . . a five time Rune Knight applicant with powerful magic, yet one who flunked out all five times! Not only that, he was making a name for himself in recent days for being rather. . . careless, yet effective, during jobs. Were they not here on business, Aurelio might like to fight the man for training purposes, but that could wait for another day!
So Aurelio waited at their designated meeting spot with the Slough, dressed in a simple collared shirt and black trousers, waiting for the man among the hissing and bubbling of the swamp around the, sounds of wildlife ringing off the waters and foliage of the swamp. The Slough was active tonight, and the sound of beasts within sent a mirthful shiver of anticipation down Aurelio's spine.
Aurelio currently has 10 MP.

[attr="class","mon"]  [attr="class","monlyrics"]クロヒョウ [attr="class","monbody"]The bubbling buzz of the surrounding swamp carried an eerie tune across the thick, brownish-green fog that lurked in massive clouds, obscuring the vision of any unlucky patrons to this screeching sludge land. Loud, eardrum piercing crickets and bellowing ribbits filled whatever silence was left, making the Wailing Slough an extremely busy scene.
“Ew!” The tiny orange cat recoiled in disgust, covering his mouth with his paws as he effortlessly floated alongside his partner, Orion Glory. He donned his typical red pants, gold chain and black shades. “It smells terrible, yo!”
“Nothin’ beats yer litterbox.” The god slayer chirped nonchalantly, propelling himself along the muddy path leading into the main den of the swamp. Raimei stayed close to his side, strapped tightly around his waist by a silky red sash. His hands were buried deep in his pockets, a relaxed posture molding his shoulders into a slouch. He and his partner Funkfreed ventured to this godforsaken bog on a mission to retrieve a particular herb, which of course only grew in this area among the oversized creepy crawlies, abyssal pits of murky water and gods only know what else. They’d been partnered up with a fellow wizard, a Rune Knight in fact! Orion was interested to see the man himself, especially after hearing he possessed a “rather unique type of magic”. That alone raised the god slayer’s interest enough to get off of his lazy ass in Magnolia Town and journey here. “Orry, seriously bro. It smells like dead fish yo-... Orry?” The small feline hovered in midair, scanning his slits across his hazy surroundings. No sign of the idiot swordsman. “Here we go again. We were on a straight path and he still got lost.” Shaking his head in disappointment, Funk flew on to their meeting point without much trouble, greeting the dragon slayer with a friendly smile, accompanied by a wave.
“Yo yo! The name’s Funkfreed, nice to meet ya~!” The Exceed dispelled his wings, dissipating them into a puff of colorful arcane dust. “I’m Orion’s partner. That dumb ass got lost on the way here. He’s such an idiot sometimes, especially when it comes to directions.” He spoke, crossing his furry arms across his chest. “We’ll meet up with him sooner or later though, I’m sure of it! I usually just follow the sounds of fightin’ and yelling.”Meanwhile, elsewhere in the swamp….“Son of a-...” Orion cursed under his breath, angrily yanking on his right leg which had unfortunately sunk deep into a small mud pit, capturing his leg and boot in the process. A thin layer of sweat had built up across his forehead from the ten minute, going on eleven minute process of becoming ‘unstuck’. It had to be some sort of artform, as he was coming across no luck in finding freedom. With one final powerful tug on his pant leg, Orion’s leg came flying upwards, released from the dark, constricting prison of mud it had been suffocating in. A sigh of relief washed over the god slayer, and although his boot had been caked in mud all the way to his knees, he was elated in his small victory.
“Shit yeah. Time to find Funk ‘n Aureo. Dunno how that idiot could get lost on a straight path…” He turned and started in one direction, completely unaware of the rising water behind him, red eyes piercing straight through the cascading waterfall that hid this monster from view. The silhouette more than doubled Orion in height and was almost as wide as one of the willow tree trunks that dotted the landscape. “Huh?”

It was not long before something rose out of the dank and rank dimness of the swamp, fluttering towards him with nary a warning. Aurelio turned his gaze on the interloper, ready and eager for some kind of monster to be mounting an attack in the darkness, but nothing of the sort came. . . instead, it was just a flying, orange cat. Cute, but not particularly exciting. Was this his partner for the day? Any lingering doubts about that were cleared up when the orange cat, who introduced himself as Funkfreed with a flourish, and he explained the situation.
"Well," said Aurelio, "it's a pleasure to meet you, Funkfreed. I'm Aurelio Blanc, Rune Knight of the lowest order. . . but I'm working on that! As for your wayward partner: we had better go find him, huh?"
Aurelio set off down the way Funkfreed had just come from, lifting his finger up and conjuring a tiny bulb of light to act as a lamp and signal flare along the way, the glow cutting through the stink and miasma of the swamp like a tiny sun, chasing away the imagined creepy crawlies of the place, like bugs and rats fleeing a torch. Whether the actual creatures of the swamp would turn heel and take flight at the sight of a little white light remained to be seen, but at the very least, the soft glow of his finger lamp brought a little comfort to the party, providing a spotlight in these shadows. He turned back to face Funkfreed, a wide smile plain on his face.
"I'll take point," said Aurelio, his disposition cheery, despite the darkness of their environs, "we'll backtrack on your path until we either find this Orion or until trouble finds him and we subsequently find trouble."
With that, Aurelio strode down the path with gusto, his eyes peeled and constantly scanning the swampy background for signs of human life and his ears attuned with the sounds of the wild, listening for any signs of the telltale battle Orion was apparently wont to find himself in.
