”This... Is kind of hard to explain... I would just tell it to you alone, but seeing as I'm going to have to travel with these people for some time, I may as well say it to everyone, I'm from another universe, or at least some kind of other world in this universe, a world called ’Earth’, and I was sucked into this world by divine happenstance, so you’re telling me that everyone has this ’other face’ no matter where they came from?”
At least one hidden face; some people have more! But yes.
And I should have said before, welcome to the Prime Material Plane, Feth! I believe you are from an alternate cosmology, on a round world you call Earth? Your presence here can not be mere happenstance, I sense greatness in you!
Kaida turns to face the others. I sense it in you all!
Coldspear focuses his attention on WIndy Diamond, "Well played...I do so enjoy the rush of battle". He points his finger at Windy Diamond and raises his axe above his head laughing like a manic...
Coldspear faces Gallant Rose, "Strength and honor brother, we will never die as long as we stand side by side!"
Coldspear faces Roselia the Noir Queen and bows, "Your mistress only need ask, Coldspears's axe serves!"
Coldspear faces Black Magic, "Greeting Feth a man from a world called Earth."
Coldspear settles his gaze on Kaida, "Return to that feeble old man's body...RAAAAAA...YOU SHALL SEE THE RAVENS FLY!!!"
Coldspear grips his axe tightly until his knuckles go white...he raises the axe over his head and slams it onto the ground, a swarm of ravens materializes and vanishes in a blink. There stands Garner once more, "Praise the all father...I never thought such power lived within me."
Closing her eyes Windy Diamond focused on the sigil under her feet. This time allowing herself to be drawn to the smaller figure. Opening her eyes once again with a smile on her face “Vorsichtiger Gnomendenker Wilfan” The pink light enveloped her form once more. Growing smaller until only Wilfan remained just how he’d been except now amongst his short blond hair hung a single lock of curly pink hair down the right side of his face.
That was Jean's first thought when he donned his new form. That was all he thought about as he took in his new form. The heat, the joy, the utter sense of peace that suffused his being as he transformed and afterward left him incapable of thinking anything else. Anything, except the warmth.
Jean clenched his hand, experimenting with his new body. It was an alien feeling, to use his new limbs. But if felt incredible, nonetheless. Just in his one hand, he felt such strength, such ease, such warmth, flowing through it. It was... liberating. To be free of the constant tension, the constant uncertainty, the constant shame.
Hearing Coldspear's words, Gallant Rose met his gaze. Were it Jean Cervantes who was standing there, he would quiver, as he refuted such praise, insisting on his unworthiness. Instead, Gallant Rose spoke, in a voice of steel and flame: "Yes, brother. That we shall." Then he meets the gaze of his other companions. "It shall truly be an honor, to fight with every person in this room."
Gallant Rose turned his gaze to Kaida: "Tell us of this gem you speak of, friend, and of those that covet it."
Roselia saw as Coldspear bowed and heard what he said, simply nodding back with an acknowledging smirk. "Yes, of course." she said confidently and elegantly, nodding back as she also heard Gallant Rose too. Then she listened as Kaida told them to go back to their original selves before they can prepare to travel to reach the first gem. She sighed and played her viol, the same entrancing melody playing as before with the music notes and rose petals swirling around her again. Soon she was back to being normal Elizabeth, very surprised that she has this power, another being inside her that is like her ideal. Then Elizabeth heard as Feth said that he's from another world, shocked. Wow, another world. "Y-Yes, it would be helpful to know more about this first gem and who is also going after it as well." she had replied along with everyone else who was asking Kaida about the gem.
”Alakazam!” Black Magic shouted, this time his feathers all shrunk until they couldn't be seen, all except the feathers that were his hair, they remained the same, upon further inspection, one may notice that now Feth’s hair is actually black feathers, as opposed to the normal black hair that looked very much like feathers. Feth breaths in a deep breath, trying to calm his excited nerves, he places two fingers of one of his remaining hair-feathers, confused, before shaking his head ”Uh, yes, I agree, we need to know who desires these... Magical gems, so we may stop them. On an unrelated note, may I ask the rest of this... Party, if I may call it that, if they remain the same person, as it seems you all have changed into different people, both physically, as well as at least partially, mentally, while it seems I did not change much mentally, is this normal Kaida? Where different individuals have different results when they transform, so to speak?” Feth takes the time while Kaida and the rest of the party think about their response to quickly jot down a few notes
Kaida yips! Alright, everybody made it back safely! This is great news!
He sits still. I suppose I owe you all an explanation, about what just happened, and about the gems and who else seeks them. Well, we have a long walk ahead of us; we can talk while we travel! The cave we will visit first is far off in the hills of the countryside, after all.
He makes his way to the door, bidding his manservant watch the house in his absence. We're off!, he says.
As Garner picks himself off of the floor and yells, "WE MARCH!"
"Are we stopping for provisions, or is this an all inclusive march?" he asks Kaida as he follows.
Garner stops, turns and leans in the doorway. "Feth!" he says in a guttural tone..."We are not a party, we are a band...a band of adventurers...and any reputable adventuring band needs a name."
"So, what shall we be called" he asks the adventurers.
He stands, leaning in the doorway scratching his beard awaiting a response...
Good as any, are there any objections? If not, we should hurry, we don't want to be out when night falls, dangerous creatures roam the hillside at night!
Seeing everyone else returning to their original forms, Gallant Rose, hesitantly, transforms. He spreads his arms apart, and in burst of embers and rose petals, the armor vanishes, leaving Jean in their place.
Hearing Feth's proposal, Jean begins to contemplate the name. "Hmm... not a terrible name, but it feels a little bland,"he thinks to himself. Trailing the rest of the group silently, Jean does his best to come up with a good name. ",let's see, our team consists of a bird man, a pink goliath, a barbarian who summoned ravens with his transformation, a regal bard with an affinity for roses (like myself), and myself. Our employer is a pseudodragon. Perhaps..."
Jean speaks up, "I don't dislike the name, but I have a proposal of my own. Could we perhaps call ourselves Dragon Wing Crusaders?"He didn't think it incredible, but it was he couldn't come up with anything else.
”Hm, I like it, but I feel it just describes our band at a surface level, just the visuals, I think we need a name that really encapsulates who we are, at what we are doing, but it also has to be short and snappy, maybe if we could combine the two names we came up with somehow? Like, ’The Dragon Wing Gem Crusaders’, or something, but that feels a bit too long... Hm...” Feth thinks to himself more, writing in the air, trying to think of a good name, quietly saying any name ideas that pop into his head ”The Dragon Gem Crusaders? The Gem Crusaders? The Dra-Gem Crusaders? Hrmmmmm...”
Garner looks around, “I agree our name should be short...how about...The Reclaimers?” he says as he raises his hands and shoulders slowly looking unsure.
Elizabeth had heard Feth talk about how different individuals have different results when they transform and question if they all stay the same person even when changed into different people physically and possibly mentally while he hadn't changed mentally. She thought about that, remembering feeling like she was sleeping after the transformation and then just recently waking up as she came back. "I-I think that she is completely separate from me, it felt like I was sleeping the whole time. Is she that different mentally?" she had said back, imagining that Roselia would certainly be more confident, charismatic, regal, and elegant than her at the very least. Then Kaida mentioned that he will explain everything while they travel, the first cave being far off in the hills of the countryside as she starts to follow. Then Garner had said that they are a band of adventurers and needing a name for them, listening to everyone give suggestions. Kaida soon mentioned that they should hurry since it would not be good to be out at night when dangerous creatures roam around, agreeing with him. "A-Any of those sound good to me, but I am partial to Gemcaptor Kaida. We should really get going though." Elizabeth had then said back to everyone, nodding and eager to get going.
Kaida leads you out of the green hamlet you found his house in and into the countryside. It's a fair ways to the cave where we will find the first gem, please do your best to keep up!
Several hours in, you make a chance encounter: in the hillside, a young woman dressed in bright red traveler's clothes, leading a bull; the bull is decorated with flowers around its head.
"Oh, fellow travelers; but you are not headed in the direction of the festival. What brings you this way? Perhaps now is a good time to take a rest from walking, and share tales and rumors." She laughs.
”This... Is kind of hard to explain... I would just tell it to you alone, but seeing as I'm going to have to travel with these people for some time, I may as well say it to everyone, I'm from another universe, or at least some kind of other world in this universe, a world called ’Earth’, and I was sucked into this world by divine happenstance, so you’re telling me that everyone has this ’other face’ no matter where they came from?”

Coldspear/Garner
Coldspear focuses his attention on WIndy Diamond, "Well played...I do so enjoy the rush of battle". He points his finger at Windy Diamond and raises his axe above his head laughing like a manic...
Coldspear faces Gallant Rose, "Strength and honor brother, we will never die as long as we stand side by side!"

Garner sits on the floor..."Now about this gem."
Windy Diamond

”We could note our mission and honor the one that brought us together. How about ‘Gemcaptor Kaida’?”

Staying behind the others Wilfan whispers to the group ”We should not. We have a task to accomplish.”
