Some things never changed.

The longer Atani spent in mainland Fiore, the more she realized it wasn't just Athalran that had been impacted by the mana surge. She was beginning to think that every city she came across had some drastic impact due to it, but strangely enough, it appeared as if Hargeon was one of the few places that remained untouched-- or at least, it seemed that way on the surface, but she supposed that was better than anything. Other places she'd visited had not been so lucky, namely Sieghart and Magnolia.

The two towns had very little in common save for having guilds in their occupancy. Sieghart was home to Paradise Dawn, a relatively new guild in Fiore, and Magnolia of course was home to the long-standing Fairy Tail. Both locales were victim to attacks, though Sieghart definitely took the brunt of it. Atani had been there for both.

In Sieghart, towering beasts that the locals called 'Titans' or 'Giants' destroyed buildings as if they were made of paper. They scooped up humans with the ease of a child picking up a doll and devoured them without a second thought. She had even heard of the monsters supposedly throwing up the humans whole with no evidence of digestion whatsoever. But... of course, those were just rumors. Atani hadn't seen that part for herself. The mere idea of it was just outlandish. Monsters who ate humans just for the heck of it? Well, the idea of several metre tall mindless humanoids was outlandish too, but there they were. There was no denying that.

There were more layers to the mystery of what happened in Sieghart, some of which Atani was able to hear firsthand from Commander Khalfani of Paradise Dawn. Others however still remained shrouded in the deep in the unknown.

What happened in Magnolia was significantly less of a mystery. It was no secret that with the mana surge came hundreds upon thousands of people suddenly having access to magic they never had before. As always, when new power arose, people found ways to exploit it by every means possible. In numerous cases, this resulted in small dark guilds being formed-- well, they called themselves 'dark guilds,' but the way most of them were organized, Atani was more inclined to call them gangs. They were frequently far too small to be considered a true guild, but given that there was no regulation placed upon dark guilds in the first place, she supposed that these illegal organizations could call themselves whatever they wanted. In the end, it amounted to very little since the Rune Knights and light guilds had done a good job at breaking up these bands of dark mages.

Some, however, managed to slip through the cracks. These mages who managed to do so formed groups that she did feel were worthy of being called dark guilds. They often led large scale attacks. Most of the damage from the attacks Atani believed were indeed due to the members of the dark guilds themselves, but she also had a feeling that they rallied the help of those lesser groups, the gangs who tagged along for the ride to share the glory. The perfect example of such happened in Magnolia.

Atani, along with several other mages from light and neutral guilds, were helping Fairy Tail put on a celebration of sorts. The preparation for it had gone very smoothly, and the party itself started off without a hitch, but approximately an hour or so into the festivities, an explosion lit up the sky.

Literally.

She could recall the windows gleaming with a bright light.

The explosion was far enough away such that the guild hall itself hadn't sustained any damage, but it was close enough such that everyone could both see and hear it from practically anywhere within Magnolia. It was a sudden and horrifying attack that Atani knew had come from one of the more prominent dark guilds in the area, but she had never encountered the culprit, nor had she heard of their capture. It was unnerving not to know what had become of such a strong mage. Though she didn't live in Magnolia herself, she couldn't help but worry about a mage like that still potentially wandering the streets. She feared for the safety of the people who resided there. Even with a guild as powerful as Fairy Tail, the attack just proved that the guild alone wouldn't be enough should something of that caliber happen again, not even with Kazimir.

Speaking of whom... Atani couldn't say that he didn't help, for she was sure he did and she didn't have the chance to see everyone in action due to being at the Kardia Cathedral tending to the wounded for the majority of the time, but the attack went on far longer than she had wagered it would. There was a Wizard Saint on their side for crying out loud, not to mention a handful of other mages who were powerful in their own right. But alas, the attacks persisted. Wounded mages and civilians alike flooded the cathedral, far more than she would have liked to see, and that was just the total for one outpost. Who knew how many casualties there were by the end of the day.

By the end of it, Atani felt that she had gone nose blind to the metallic scent of blood-- a surefire sign of a day where her healing abilities were spent.

But thankfully it seemed those days were behind her. At least, they were for now. They were for now in the south. As far as she knew, Myras and Marigold were doing just fine. Hargeon was celebrating Mardi Gras-- an Illuminian holiday that Atani usually did not partake in herself-- as if there weren't any magical disasters happening just outside of their borders. That of course was not to say the people in Hargeon were wrong to be enjoying themselves during this holiday, but as someone who had just come from spending time in Sieghart and Magnolia, the contrast was jarring.

Atani planned on helping out with the festivities just as she did a couple years ago for Easter while she was still a member of Blue Pegasus, but there were other things she wanted to do first. Particularly, she wanted to get back to work. It was expensive to travel away from Astera.

One source of income in Hargeon that never failed to come her way was dealing with pirates. No matter how many ships she sunk or how many bands of sea scavengers she broke up, there were just that many more that always seemed to take their place. Now with the great mana surge, she was confident that there would be no shortage of them again. In fact, since she didn't know how active Blue Pegasus had been in the past couple years with maintaining this pirate problem, the fleet probably needed some culling now more than ever. As Atani approached the request board, she saw that this was indeed the case.

Numerous tasks were posted for anyone's taking. Quite a few of them did have to do with the long-standing pirate issue, and then there were others that didn't. The most lucrative of quests did end up being with pirates though, so that is what the elf went with.

She tore the quest from the board and looked at its details. There was someone who dealt in magical goods imported from foreign countries. He was always successful in his trades and built up quite a wealth on his own. His most recent shipment however had been hijacked by some pirates, and he wanted his treasure returned safe and sound. The flyer gave some information on who these pirates were, what their ship was like, etc. All in all, it seemed quite doable for the elf. Even though she hadn't been on this kind of job in quite some time (a few years, actually) she was sure that it was well within the scope of her current abilities.

Stuffing the piece of paper into her back pocket, she started out in search of the pirate ship. As she did, she twirled the ring on her finger absentmindedly. She was itching to use its powers.

She had come across Elfaron in the time she was in Athalran. It was a ring that was said to harness the power of the elven god of the skies. Though she supposed she had no true way of confirming this without seeing someone who was closer to the gods than she, the energy the ring radiated was unmistakable. Most would not be able to pick up on this unique energy signal, but Atani could. She was the wearer of the ring and as such had become accustomed to its intrinsic features. The mana that was intertwined with the metal was strong, but she didn't want to use it just yet. She could do this job without it.

Sure enough, Atani did eventually come across the boat. She scouted it out briefly before coming to the conclusion that she could take them over with a sudden ambush, no sneaking needed.

With the help of her sacred magic, the elven mage used a spell that allowed her to walk on water and she made a beeline for the ship which wasn't docked all too far away from the shore. As expected, her sudden arrival was met with retaliation in an attempt to hit her before she could reach the ship itself, but it was futile. Her time in Athalran was not just spent doing research and learning more about herself and Ëala; it was also spent training among more of her kind. If she could dodge arrows shot by trained elven archers, she could dodge whatever came her way from these drunken pirates.

She had made it to the ship unscathed. While she was approaching, she even managed to knock off a few with her bow and arrow. Once she was onboard, however, she resorted to close combat. Though it was not her forte, she managed.

She managed to disarm several of them. From one of those attempts, she was able to pick up a dagger and slice her opponents up. None of the injuries she caused were fatal, but they were more than enough to let the pirates know that they were way out of their league. Some she hit over the head to knock them out as well. In the end, she was left with a pile of unconscious bleeding bodies with relatively few injuries of her own to speak of. Now, to find the stolen treasure...

It turned out that there was a whole collection of treasures from successful plunders. It was impossible to tell which kinds were rightfully owned and which ones the pirates stole, but the particular goods she was sent to retrieve were luckily distinguishable from the rest. As she was piling the items to return into her arms, Atani noticed something shuffling in a pile of gold.

Last time this happened, Atani stumbled across Zimra who remained her faithful companion ever since. Curious, Atani momentarily set down the treasure and went to check. She brushed away the gold to see... a hand?! She jumped back in shock as she saw the hand wiggle free. It stopped and turned in her direction. It didn't have eyes, yet she had a feeling it was looking at her.

"Well then," she muttered to herself before picking back up the treasure. The thing didn't look hostile, just curious. She turned to head out the ship but jumped yet again as she felt the hand grasp her ankle. It crawled up her leg until it got to a comfortable spot, and then it stopped. Atani sighed and continued on. "I'll figure out what to do with you later."

She didn't quite know if a hand could hear, but it acted like it could 'see' so who knew. She returned the treasure to her client and went to go figure out what this peculiar creature was all about.
