It had only been five minutes since they landed made in Astera and given just how fast they arrived staying overnight was not an option currently. Watching the snowfall always brought back flashes of his past life that part of him wished he could revisit them. The people still dressed as though it was still summer though they did have some layers on them they didn't seem to mind at all. patting his mount's side signaling for it to find a warm place to rest up.

As the griffin took off once more Azure found himself at a loss for words for once given that he was so close to achieving one of his goals, "Okay so the normal places then... let's hope this was worth it," he muttered to himself heading for the market as it was the main place to gather information and update any other information that he gained while venturing over.

It didn't take long for him to find a gathering hub, even though it was far smaller than what Central and the north had far more space and blended in rather well with the surroundings.

The gathering hub was just a small stan, one similar to that of a ticket booth at a carnival though he had heard that the informants that do call the port home like to be out in the open rather than in the shadows. Soft snow masked his footsteps as he walked towards the stan while leaving faint imprints on the soles of his boots. Someone had been watching him though it had just now been brought to his attention, I don't have time to deal with them he thought to himself making his way over to the stan.

"Hello from a far!" a code to let them know that he was one of them 'From far hello' they responded which meant they hadn't been compromised. With the formalities now out of the way it was time to get into brass tax and find any clues on the current target. Azure and the man talked about the information he had gathered however to his disappointment the informant had nothing about any group with such a name. As he left the stand he took notice of some people obviously talking about it Cath...maybe looking for a symbol will help, the summoner thought to himself.

It wasn't unheard of for informants to not have information on groups that are either new or have managed to avoid spotlights. Azure made his way toward the market in hopes of finding something on the cult as the feeling of someone watching him hadn't faded but whoever they are must have some talent to not be noticed by them till now, not even his summons had noticed.

Reaching the market a rather plump man stopped him 'Hey your the guy from the poster!' the comment took him by surprise as none of their recent or past actions had warranted a poster. Ignoring the man the informant pushed on to question some of the locals about the name but it would seem that that wouldn't help matters. The summoner let out a small sigh as he didn't expect this to take so much time to find more information on the cult. Heading deeper into the market more or and more people started to point at him as if something was wrong with his current appearance.

Reaching the book stand he immediately started to go through the lost history section to find anything on Cath. Some of the books seemed to have some of the pages damaged or just torn out which means someone didn't want him to find anything which wouldn't be the first. Flipping through books like some madman an elderly duo came up to him looking him up and down, "I'm sorry but I'm in the middle of something beat it.." one of the elders smacked the book out of his hands which enraged him quite a bit.

Murderous intent spilled out of Azure like a broken faucet but before he could do anything they had started to speak 'We got a message four ya, they told us if we fond ya to tell ya to try startin from zera or somethin' Azure stood frozen as it was something his brother told him every time they came close to solving a puzzle. Without a word or sign of thanks the informant ran off lost in his emotions and thoughts.

After making his way all to the cliffs the summoner watched the waves crash against the rocky shore as the chaos within his mind raged on leaving him confused and angry at the same time. "He's...alive. T-that Asshole!" he shouted clenching his fist tightly, the magic within him had started to steer as the emotions that had been thought to have been buried deep now started to resurface. Azure tried to regain control of his mental state as it would cause many problems if something wasn't done quickly and in an efficient way. The thought of actually being able to see his brother after so many years filled him with joy and intense rage. Ignis manifested itself next to her contractor before speaking 'Master your sibling may still be within the current location' the summon was always known for its directness that helped him realize something he was overlooking.

It was the smallest detail that he managed to overlook this whole time, "Thank you!" at this moment his typhoon of emotion had stopped as he hugged his summon. Pushing his hair back into a ponytail Azure started to form his next plan of action 'Did you realize something?' she asked as he nodded taking a deep breath and then letting it go. Even though he had come to Astera to research the cult finding out that their sibling is alive was enough to warrant heading back.

What had started to feel as thought to be a dead end had changed into a gold mine 'We await for your rebirth...' Ignis slowly returned to her home as the informant made his way back to the market. Passing through the dock and pier Azure found himself back at the market his first approach was wrong as looking for a name wasn't going to lead anywhere "Excuse me do you know where the man posting my poster went?" The elderly duo smiled as if they had waited for this to happen.

The two elders looked at the summoner and each held out their hands as if telling him to pick one, realizing that this was yet another reminder from his brother they picked both hands. As they opened their hands two magic circles appeared before him that slowly combined into one 'Well congrats you realized this was the information you've been after.' the two spoke in tandem which did creep them out slightly.

Azure motioned for them to keep their creepy talk going as he knew this was some sort of message if not a trap. As they went on to confirm the fact that his brother was, in fact, alive and a part of the cult part of him wanted to leave but at the same time needed to hear the rest. Once they finished the two smirked and waved at the informant as magical energy started to poor into them, Oh no he thought as he had realized what was happening. "Thanks for the cover buddy." as the dust began to settle Blob separated Azure from itself as he looked at the point of the explosion that was the two elders.

Not wanting to be mistaken for murder again the informant quickly looked for a place to hide until things had cooled down a bit. Even though this provided him with even more information than expected the threat level of the whole situation had changed drastically if he had to give them a ranking, it started out as a 1 then jumped to a 10 after this event. Those that were around the blast seemed to be unharmed for the most part but the damage done to the surroundings was rather substantial.

That wasn't a spell, at least not one I've heard of, he thought sitting in an alleyway as Rune Knights scrambled to the site of the explosion. From everything that happened it was clear that either his brother or someone wanted to try and stop him. While Azure waited in the alleyway the feeling of someone watching had vanished completely which confirmed that they were onto him from the start.

As everything had started to revert back to normal the informant had fallen asleep in their hiding place only to be awakened by someone passing by at the time. Heading back took priority at this point as it seemed as though something about to take place right under everyone's noises. Grayroad would have more than likely want an update, he thought to himself blending into a crowd of tourists. His summons had started to stir which meant they wanted to watch the outcome this.
