This is just a summary of this chapter as I haven't spent time on writing it out.
Adam returns to town. the soldiers are knocking at every door telling the townspeople that they will be occupying the town to investigate the abandoned fortress which the enemy group had occupied. the few soldiers that survived carried up the bodies of their comrades from the bottom floor of the fortress with the last bits of stamina they have. More soldiers have arrived and they have set up in for a prolonged stay in the town.
Adam is treated by magical and physical means by the military medical personnel.
Adam meets back with cayn who is sitting by the window sill with a worn out book in his lap, looking out at the street where some townspeople are packing, preparing to leave the town.
Cayn notices that adam is injured and asks if there is anything that he can do.
Adam says he'll heal fine enough by himself and asks Cayn about what he is reading.
Cayn asks what happened and Adam says he will tell him after he rests for the night, Adam asks Cayn again about what he was reading.
Cayn first began with some magic books which talk of the formulas of various magic spells but he stopped that in a short while and continued rereading the personal travel records of his teacher.
His teacher travelled to many places by sea and ground. He wandered the world, learning and helping out the people that he met.
Though he was a mage knight and quite capable of magic. He attempted to solve the problems of the people he met through non magical means.
Cayn writes letters to his teacher about his current experiences. He wrote and sent his third one during the day.
Adam asks if he replied back. Cayn has received one letter from his teacher, Cayn says that his teacher thinks that for Cayn to continue travelling Adam, Cayn needs to become stronger so that Cayn would be capable of helping Adam.
Adam recalls the reason Cayn gave of his decision to travel with Adam.
Purpose of the chapter is to develop the story and characters further, define the goals, problems, and reasons behind them.
Notes, Part 2
Combat
Combat is described like combat in a rpg game to detail combat in a simple/detailed way that rpg combat details combat. Attack turn order is based on the time it takes for the actor to take their action, actors readying a technique or spell take their turns later, etc. Damage taken is a simplified message where damage is inflicted to the actual body, to specific body parts.
Elements
Living things are born with an innate elemental affinities based on a variety of circumstances such as the affinities of their parents. These affinities define how well a user can manipulate a specific element. Affinity holders can have innate affinities toward a number of elements but they commonly have 1 or 2 affinities and there are those with no affinities.
How a user manipulates their element is mostly up to the user themselves whether they create magical elemental attacks or focus their element into their weapon or through other means. Users are generally capable of both but generally specialize in one method of manipulation.
Natural forces, such as weather and climate are affected by the power of elemental nodes and so it is important that the power of these nodes are kept in check.
Healing
Healing is the mending of one's form to an original or healthy state.
Healing is limited and only specialists can heal significant injures. Healing isn't associated with a specific element, most magic users can use it should they learn it or know it innately. Like most manipulation methods, healing uses up a user's personal limited resource of "mana" which can replenished in a number of ways.
Techniques
Special techniques such as Adam's attacks skills are akin to magical attacks in that they instead manipulate one's body to perform enhanced movements differentiating them from normal attacks with a weapon. Physical techniques aren't associated with elements but they may be associated with an element described as "physical" or "natural" somewhat similar to healing/mending.
Beings either innately gain the ability to use certain techniques or learn them. These are based on their affinities. Affinities are defined by what elements they manipulate but there are differences between affinities of the same element from owner to owner.
Innate abilities, abilities gained upon reaching a requirement, are abilities that are gained from the bearer's affinity. There is a theory that a bearer's affinity has a "history" which can pass on certain things to those who "inherit" these affinities. Other than abilities, the affinities can pass on memories or messages from their histories.
Main Characters
Cayn's age is 16, Adam's age is 18.
Cayn's affinities: wood and water
Adam's affinities: earth and fire
Though Cayn trusts Adam as his travelling companion and decision maker, Adam questions Cayn's capability as a companion and combatant. They had very different upbringings, Cayn was born with a weak body and was mostly kept inside and was taught most of what he knows from his teacher/foster-parent. Adam started working as a forager at a young age where he traveled with his family to sell what they foraged. When Adam was still young, he faced a number of circumstances that made him the serious mission taker he is currently.
Missions
As Isekai as a genre erupted like wild fire, there are many things that they commonly do that I don't want to do. In my world, adventurers aren't extremely common and there is no adventurer's guild by name. The needs of villages and towns are generally handed by the country/state who employ soldiers or mercenaries to handle physical threats or problems that require strong combatants. There are times that the country/state is unable to handle a problem immediately in which they leave these as missions to those who are interested and capable.
As I associate the word "adventurer" with an idiot who can solve any problem with a unique power or someone who seeks an interesting adventure, I wanted to define Adam as a "Mission Taker", someone who takes missions solely for the reason to do what he can to help others.

green mage planning. (SPOILERS) ch. 8: Fire, ch. 9: Earth and Water
Chapter 7 is some transition chapter from the demon fight to the travel to the village the mission takes place.
Writing is in progress. I uploaded this in case I never get to continue working on this.
Adam and Cayn enter the village of their first mission. The village exports trees as the volcanic soil surrounding the village is rich with nutrients. The village has been having a monster problem and sought help in dealing with it. The village has hunters equipped with weapons imbued with the element of water.
The concept of nodes are introduced, much is not known about nodes but what is known is that these nodes are centers of elemental power. The node of earth, which is at the base of the mountain, is in a small shrine inside it somewhere and is a chaotic state because a node of fire has opened. Nodes around this world have started to react due to some interference of man. There are nodes of all the elements, including light and supposedly darkness. The currently only known light node is the center of some holy city. there has been no record of a dark node existing but there are records of items imbued with the dark element, though significantly rare.
From a magic teacher in the village, Cayn learns a water spell and he recalls his teachings from his previous teacher, he is told that his magical presence is special, capable of unknown but great things. Adam requests to borrow an elemental weapon from the village but the village is unable to spare them. The village possesses a hidden water node where they are able imbue their weapons with water which has a strong offensive effectiveness on fire enemies, and some offensive effectiveness on earth enemies. Previously the node had enough power to imbue a large number of weapons, 15 or so, now, it can only keep the imbuement on 4 weapons thus their need for help. Though the native element of this village is water and earth, a water affinity mage is born, at most, once a generation.
As Adam and Cayn travel to the known earth node, fire imps are fought outside the area of the newly opened fire node, which is odd as the species usually don't travel far from their warm location.
end chapter 8.
Nearer the earth node, they encounter a golem, which was previously unknown to exist around the area. This encounter says that the power of the earth node has significantly increased. Cayn is wounded severely by a large rock shard the golem throws and Adam is forced to retreat, carrying him on his back. Cayn loses consciousness from the pain and the loss of blood. Adam carries Cayn to the village and into the location of their water node. Strong magic is needed to heal Cayn and so the elemental imbuement of a water weapon is released and the magic is used to heal him, leaving the village weaker than it already was.
end chapter 9.

Warp
Two long time rivals are fighting with swords.
Though both possess considerable skill with their weapons, one is clearly superior.
Quickly, the weaker one is wounded grievously and his form worsens, but he still focuses his strength on holding his sword.
Without hesitation, his enemy uses much of his magic to cast a desperate spell.
(I summon... the strongest healer in this world...)
WARP.
A man in white robe appears instantly from blinding light, he appears confused.
Heal him.

Flowers in the brick building
A woman walks down a street just when the brightness of the sky starts to fade.
In the corner of her eye, she catches a curious sight.
She sees these flowers that seem to illuminate with an unearthly glow, growing out of clay pots across the street through an open door of an unassuming brick building.
She sees these flowers so vividly, more so than anything that reaches her sight.
Filled with curiosity, she walks toward these flowers which seem to sing a quiet song.
As she reaches the door with her mind focused on seeing the flowers dancing in stillness,
she suddenly stops.
She awakes from her short daze and she notices that she had stopped at the door.
The door in front of her was closed, as if it was never open.
She knocks, waits a short while, and with sudden strange impatience, she turns the knob and opens the door.
A bounty of quiet yet glistening flowers fills the room, gracing her sight.
The now night sky fills the room with soft light through the countless glass windows through one side of the room and the ceiling.
Her heart is filled with wonder and joy, yet, a speck of sadness ripples through her.
She is reminded of her brother who died just a few months ago.
She imagines her brother's bright smile and his voice saying these words...
"I love you, Sis."
She quietly feels in her heart that her brother took care of these flowers.

Circle
revising is unfinished.
Any container will do.
I'll show you what I'll do with it. We'll talk more about this after you bring it.
Here.
I use 10% of my magic to grant this person the possible happiness he would have with me. This happiness is added to what happiness he may find on his own. May this happiness guide him to stronger possible happiness.
This will serve the same function.
This is something that won't hurt you as much or cause you as much emptiness as I would. Burn the paper so the effect can't be manipulated. You should not attempt talking to me again. There is no longer any reason to.
I don't believe in magic myself...
I like you
Huh?
I said I like you.
...
What about you?
Give me some of your blood.
Wh-what?
Just some of your blood, a small amount.
What are you going to do with it?
Don't ask me questions, I don't need it now, just give it to me whenever.Any container will do.
I'll show you what I'll do with it. We'll talk more about this after you bring it.
...Tomorrow then.
You'll do it?
Yeah. Here, same time.
...Right.
*tomorrow*
Here.
*he takes out a container of red liquid.
*the other person wordlessly pulls out a blank piece of paper*
-he opens the container, dips his finger, and he draws a circle.
-then he draws these symbols made of lines around this circle.
-2 short, 2 long
-2 long, 2 short
-1 short, 2 long, 1 short
-1 long, 2 short, 1 long
-and finally he draws a cross in the the circle, connecting these symbols.
I use 10% of my magic to grant this person the possible happiness he would have with me. This happiness is added to what happiness he may find on his own. May this happiness guide him to stronger possible happiness.
*he hands the container back*
Here.This will serve the same function.
What...what is this?
This is something that won't hurt you as much or cause you as much emptiness as I would. Burn the paper so the effect can't be manipulated. You should not attempt talking to me again. There is no longer any reason to.
You...
You're really...
Whatever... what a waste of time.
*he tosses the blood marked paper and leaves*
*the other person picks up the paper and takes out his lighter.*
...I don't believe in magic myself...
Story 3
I want to know the person I can be the most happiest with,
You can tell me that right?
I have the the ability to find the answer to this, yes.
50 bucks right?
Here.
Now tell me.
A moment.
Summoning...
(You've summoned me once again human.
(I've been listening.
(Now...
That person...that person...you will meet that person in a week.
(...Are you listening?
(That's not what I said.
Really?
Where?
Where?
It will be a place that you have never been before.
(...so then...
But you will meet the person once again at the place you like most being there.
(You won't give him the truth...
Do you wish to know more?
*he smiles*
-pain-
Let me think for a moment.
Take as much time as you need.
(You know...
Oh, I got it, tell me one thing about the person,
Something small,
I want every moment with this person to be special.
I want every moment with this person to be special.
Alright.
Reveal a point.
(You often do these things...
...that person likes the sea.
(that I don't understand...
(that person actually likes the night sky...
The sea...
You may ask one more question.
(What if...
This is the most important question.
...
(He meets this person you describe...
I've always thought about this when I thought about the other person.
...
(...he won't find the happiness he seeks.
Tell me how I can make this person happy.
(By simply being with them.
To make that person happy...
(Tell him the truth, that person would be happy...
You should take them...
(No matter...
to see the world...
(what...
Now...
(Why are you lying to him?
Are you satisfied with these answers?
...I am.
I feel like...
I can trust you.
...
I get this special feeling...
When I hear your words...
...
Your words satisfy me a great deal...
...Thank you.
*he smiles*
Sure thing.
...thanks,
thank you very much.
*he extends his hand*
*shakes*
(his hands are warm... I hope you find this person.
*he smiles again*
*he leaves*
...
(So are we done?
(Return me to my world.
...
(What is it?
I command you to use your magic.
(..for this human?
Such threads that connect souls,
of the many, the threads which are
most thick and of strongest color.
(This magic you want me to use...
With a blade made of a fragment of my soul,
I cut.
(This is the first time...
(You asked me to directly use my powers.
Reconnect these threads to a person of my words.
(This was the real reason...
A person he shall meet within the bounds of next week,
at a place he has never been.
A person he shall meet again
at a place he is most comfortable.
(You first sought my power isn't?
A person who loves the ocean,
A person who will be happy when they see the world with him.
And finally...
A person that will make him most happy...
(...
With this needle made of a second shard of my soul.
I mend these cut threads.
(Human who summoned me...
(When the the night sky...
(Was most beautiful...
(with use of my power, it is done.

those silly stories that i write
story 1
god carved adam out of an oak tree.
in love with his creation, he carved jacob from willow.
jacob will always love adam but adam will never love him back.
story 2
The hero, pulling out his sword from the dark wizard's chest:
You can no longer oppress the people of this world wizard.
Now do what you promised me, before you breathe your last breaths.
-Your family was it?...
Yes, you said you would return them to me.
-...
Are you going to do it or must I take your head?
-it-it is done.
It is done? Where are they? I want to see them.
-Your village is restored, they are there.
I'll believe you when I see them again.
May the gods deal you righteous judgement and have you burn in eternal flames.
*The hero leaves.*
*A tall figure enters the room though a portal*
...so he defeated you...
At last, the evil lord has been defeated.
So the reign of darkness in this world has ended.
*The body of the wizard disappears.*
It wasn't possible for him to win.
All these obstacles...he overcame all of them.
Were they really obstacles?
You even lead him right to your castle...
He will never see this castle again.
*another figure appears behind the tall figure.*
So...is he dead?
-No. He is still alive.
So is he going back to his village in the mountains?
-His village isn't there.
What happened to this promise you had with him.
-It is fulfilled.
I don't understand. What did you do?
-I sent him to a different world.
Why didn't you just kill him?
What kind of world did you send him to?
-A world where I don't exist.
-His world is no longer here.
-I created a world just for him.
-A world I may never enter.
Why?
-...I have the power to kill his family.
-I have the power to easily destroy him and everything that he holds dear.
-If I ever did such a thing...
-I'll destroy...
Your humanity...you still have it don't you?

The darkest one in this world is you and you still have the weakness of humanity...
...
You've used him to become darker.

My Poison
I'm hella bored. so whatever.
My poison is a poison of stillness:
The many people of disgusting character in this world.
I seek their simple deaths simply as to stay disgusting for the rest of their lives.
To stay the same, believing in whatever truth they believe.
Stay still standing and never change!
It is preferred they see no error in their ways.
Stay still and blind on the single road that many others have walked and died on.
The single road that many others shall walk as well.
Keep such comfort and stay on that road.
Of the many single roads that already many have walked.
I take comfort that many people suffer from this poison.
It is a poison that I suffer from as well.
This poison is an illness and it spreads easily.
Pessimism and self loathing bleh.

green mage planning. (SPOILERS) ch. 5-6
Planning and Organization
chapter 6 title: A Broken Weapon
end of regan talking to adam before thin demon
pre thin demon
alerted to thin demon somehow
thin demon wanted to regain some of his strength
something weak and defenseless
thin demon is noticably weakened
fight with thin demon
strong but limited magic and stamina
at defeat, body and area must be clear as it's hazardous
plan and actions after thin demon
someone weakened the demon
from which direction did it come from?
what reason was it not killed completely?
regan asks the that the soldiers confident enough to die for their country to come with them
confident in their strength
they following the trail of demon blood
could use professional scouts to seem more competent but i'm not imaginative.
chapter 5 ends when they follow the thin demon's blood trail
at the abandoned fortress, finding the bottom floor
simple back story of why the fortress is abandoned and left to decay (cursed, bandits)
deep in forest,
it's getting dark so there is a need for light
the soldiers split into groups of three to search the fortress
eventually they find a staircase deep in the fortress, hidden just slightly.
on the final floor, it was thought it was a throne room
but corrected to be the location of a prison.
noxious gas emanates from the cracks where the tall metal doors meet the cool stone ground.
the soldiers are prepared for such conditions are use a potion or plant.
the gas weakens senses and causes hallucinations, warping the mind
prison
the room is dimly lit by odd candles
can't use fire as a light source as effects with the demonic gases in unknown.
enemy encounter
they enter a large room in the prison
introduced to the competent enemy
demons are inside cages
pieces of demons lay scattered
shards of faded intricate ornate weapons lay on the ground
various brutish fighters leaning against the blood stained walls
fight with leader frost fiend, black armed
leader

speed above average
frost fiend
attack below average
defense below average
magic above average
resist above average
speed average
black armed
attack absurd
defense absurd
magic terrible
resist average
speed terrible
focus on the summoners escaping
teleportation magic does not exist but created secret passages do.
some summoners are slain
leader reprimands his less intelligent posse
frost fiend and black armed die, leader destroys their weapons
leader unable to finish fight
adam down about losing his weapon
adam purchases an axe which he can't use well
attacks are less effective and as well as elemental enchanting
adam is more used to using a sword
axes are more fickle with enchanting elements
aces do have stronger attack power
he obtains a light or dark dagger
include somewhere what happened to the holy weapons
holy weapons become brittle and easily break when used for unjust purposes.
adam's weapon was of an uncommon quality as he received it from achieving a high rank when he was a swordsman/knight.
adam can't fight but reinforcements come at the most crucial moment but the enemy manages to escape.
regan apologizes to adam about his broken weapon and gives him what little money regan carries on his person
regan takes a spare weapon from one of his knights and pursues the enemy.
adam returns to the inn where cayn waited for him and tells cayn to leave him alone as he goes to his bed.
in the morning adam sells the scraps of his broken weapon and purchases a decent axe, a common shortsword.
I was gonna involve something about a dark or light attribute dagger but w/e.

adam attacks 78 damage
this thing must die here.

soldier attacks 63 damage.
thin demon attacks with his claws. attack misses.
the thin demon uses just normal physical attacks, missing fairly often, seriously injuring regan
and out of energy and strength, the thin demon slumps down and lays still.
r: what a grisly enemy...
a: It was weakened before we got to it. there isn't many things that can injure a demon.
maybe the thin demon killed what it was fighting.
the thin demon wouldn't as hungry as it was if it did.
the demon looks like it hasn't eaten anything and he has many other old wounds that seem like he has been tortured.
It must have been escaping from something.
we don't know who did this to it, it might not be even human.
alert the town, there might be more than 1 demon.
message needs to be sent to the (military structure of higher ups) that a demon has appeared.
Captain Regan, it has left a a trail of blood.
? - what rank was adam, what rank should regan be?
We need someone to stay in the town and make sure that the blood isn't touched.
we should be able to follow it and know which direction it came from.
it might've been pursued and maybe it's pursuers stopped when it entered the town.
it might be even possible that it isn't the only one around.
ensure the safety of the town!
summon a group to keep watch of the body to make sure it stays here.
don't go near it and don't let anyone touch it as demons expel many different
strong gases and liquids and even curses when they're dead.
those who have confidence in their combat ability may accompany us on following the trail the demon has left us.
trail leads them deep into the woods, far from town, to an abandoned fortress that many bandits and vagabonds have chosen to occupy and
settle in. it is now dark and the soldiers bring out their light sources.
***work to create setting and work into exploring the fortress and finding the staircase
*this is bloody hell to think hard and write well about.
non fire light sources which give off weaker light
unknown what fire and vile gases mixing might do
This smell... it's so vile...
don't breathe it in, it will destroy your senses, your will and your strength.
this smell is from the rotting corpses of rotting demons.
-how do you know?
...that's not important right now.
I assume everyone has purifying root or warding potion.
swallow it and you'll be mostly safe from the effects for abut 2 hours.
if you have some spare, share them with the group
those who don't will become a liability, go back upstairs and station yourselves at various points in the fortress.
i'm strongly certain the enemy will attempt to flee and some will be successful.
the faces of the soldiers are mostly full of fear but some bear faces of strong will and courageousness
fearlessness.
be prepared. support each other.
we don't know what we'll be facing be be prepared to fight or run.
*ranged and magic users?
Regan: Open the doors.
a voice echoes: ah..., they have arrived sooner than expected.
so you have slain the escapee haven't you?
many bodies of demons and people were scattered in this large room.
behind the bars and inside the cages are demons snarling madly but seemingly with no vitality.
Strong warriors in dark armor are hidden in the shadows, leaning against the walls stained with blood.
regan: what is this?!
voice: can't you see? we're killing demons.
the men in the shadows laugh.
regan: everyone disarm and subdue everyone here.
deadly force is authorized on those who won't go down peacefully.
voice: oh that won't be possible at all.
make sure the summoners escape, they are priority.
if any of you run away before they do, you'll pay the well known consequences of course~
men in shadows: *urk* we'll protect them! (hurry up) (stand up!) (take out your weapon!)
Adam: the leader might be strongest one here. Lets focus on capturing him regan.
Regan: right.
enemy leader: hohohoh, i've already said that's impossible.
...
well, come on then.
entertain me for a while.
Ice Fiend and Black Armed, come join me.
A tall white demon emitting icy mist and a large brutish demon with large arms appear.
enemy leader: let this fight be fun for you as well.
My name is Irvine.
*The enemy leader is very competent, more competent than common enemies
he is more like at end story strength.

Adam attacks Irvine.
Black armed blocks, black armed takes 46 damage.
how could these demons fight with you?
the demons don't really much care if we slay their kind.
it is a common occurrence for them as with you having a meal.
ice demon unleashes a shower of ice shards
adam 48 damage

have the summoners escaped yet?
two of them were struck down by these assholes
we killed them back at least.
*swearing might be a bit too much
you fucking idiots, one summoner is worth more than any of your fucking hides.
now the order will be even more reluctant to give us more.
sorry boss.
just destroy those "things" and then we can go.

demons are defeated
Irvine congratulates regan and adam.
but says enough is enough and gets extremely serious.
Thalum, creature of decay, imbue my knuckles to erode steel.

Irvine unable to finish them of as it would be easy for him to do but escaping takes priority for some reason
Regan apologizes to Adam about his weapon
Regan takes a spare weapon that one of his subordinate carries and gives Adam what little money that Regan usually carries for whatever reason
Regan says until we meet again and runs off chasing the escaping criminals
Adam picks up the remnants of his weapon in old cloth he finds somewhere and heads back to the town where he left Cayn at the Inn.

leader quickly slays a nameless soldier.
I'm impressed you guys have lasted so long. but this fight ends here.
*enchants with thalum
This is...forbidden magic.
of course I'm more powerful than all these stupid rats.
i am to make sure that strong people like you get killed.
Regan Attacks! Weapon destroyed.
I excel at close combat if you already didn't know that and if you were to lose your weapons...
I'd can easily overwhelm you.
enemy leader attacks!
regan takes severe damage.
regan coughs up blood.
Adam: I...I can't attack or defend...
st-stay behind me regan. I'll think of something.
no you won't. Your lives are already mine.
Enemy Attacks! Adam's weapon is destroyed
so you two are the strongest in this pathetic attack huh?...
It'll be my pleasure to take your lives.
and leader is forced to escape for some reason.

demons: oh how beautiful~, you humans have become so horrible.
It won't be much longer until this place can become more bearable for us demons~
***
it looks like they were summoning demons to slay...
*that's unusual.(boring like hell)
common normal thing to think is that they wanted pieces of the demons to make something
could be made into various magical items and powerful potions and powerful spells
but meaning must be more deep (not that i know of it yet or ever will)
chapter 6 title: A Broken Weapon
end of regan talking to adam before thin demon
pre thin demon
alerted to thin demon somehow
thin demon wanted to regain some of his strength
something weak and defenseless
thin demon is noticably weakened
fight with thin demon
strong but limited magic and stamina
at defeat, body and area must be clear as it's hazardous
plan and actions after thin demon
someone weakened the demon
from which direction did it come from?
what reason was it not killed completely?
regan asks the that the soldiers confident enough to die for their country to come with them
confident in their strength
they following the trail of demon blood
could use professional scouts to seem more competent but i'm not imaginative.
chapter 5 ends when they follow the thin demon's blood trail
at the abandoned fortress, finding the bottom floor
simple back story of why the fortress is abandoned and left to decay (cursed, bandits)
deep in forest,
it's getting dark so there is a need for light
the soldiers split into groups of three to search the fortress
eventually they find a staircase deep in the fortress, hidden just slightly.
on the final floor, it was thought it was a throne room
but corrected to be the location of a prison.
noxious gas emanates from the cracks where the tall metal doors meet the cool stone ground.
the soldiers are prepared for such conditions are use a potion or plant.
the gas weakens senses and causes hallucinations, warping the mind
prison
the room is dimly lit by odd candles
can't use fire as a light source as effects with the demonic gases in unknown.
enemy encounter
they enter a large room in the prison
introduced to the competent enemy
demons are inside cages
pieces of demons lay scattered
shards of faded intricate ornate weapons lay on the ground

some summoners are slain
leader reprimands his less intelligent posse
frost fiend and black armed die, leader destroys their weapons
leader unable to finish fight
adam down about losing his weapon
adam purchases an axe which he can't use well
attacks are less effective and as well as elemental enchanting
adam is more used to using a sword
axes are more fickle with enchanting elements
aces do have stronger attack power
he obtains a light or dark dagger
include somewhere what happened to the holy weapons
holy weapons become brittle and easily break when used for unjust purposes.
adam's weapon was of an uncommon quality as he received it from achieving a high rank when he was a swordsman/knight.
adam can't fight but reinforcements come at the most crucial moment but the enemy manages to escape.
regan apologizes to adam about his broken weapon and gives him what little money regan carries on his person
regan takes a spare weapon from one of his knights and pursues the enemy.
adam returns to the inn where cayn waited for him and tells cayn to leave him alone as he goes to his bed.
in the morning adam sells the scraps of his broken weapon and purchases a decent axe, a common shortsword.
I was gonna involve something about a dark or light attribute dagger but w/e.

Like Grains of Sand
Eh I've been watching a ton of these recently. I hope good films like these never end.
WARNING: The clip spoils an important moment in the film and I recommend you watch the film first to fully appreciate it.
In fact, I'm not going to embed it as to make it more of a hassle as to copy and paste in hopes that people will watch the film.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZfSrkOdYZU
Seriously. Watch it.

eh. just watch the clip then, I hope it convinces whoever to watch it.

GF*BF
I don't want to spoil anything about film even though I really have a lot to say about it, but this has become my most favorite film that I've watched in a long while after I have thought long and hard about it. Though there is some romance in the film, it isn't the main focus. Their close friendship is.
This film really made me to cry. I loved story, the way the story was told, the characters, and the development of these characters and the many heart-wrenching moments that were utterly bittersweet.
With every fiber of my being, I recommend whoever reads this to watch this film.
I haven't really cried about a film in such a long time ever since.....pokemon the first movie....yeah. Well, that's all I have to say. Please watch this film if you ever have the chance to.

green mage ch. 5 pt.1: Demon Blood (needs more work)
Green Mage Chapters
Previous Chapter: 4.2: Brilliant Light
I've left in some author's notes which are dumb.
Adam and Cayn are sitting at a table outside of a restaurant
Adam looks over the through the busy crowd of townspeople in the streets of the market district to a group of similarly armored knights talking to a distressed shop owner.
Cayn: What is it?
Adam: I'm guessing that there was a burglary.
Cayn: How can you tell?
Adam: The armored people there are known as the Red Guard of Cygnus, the Benra Order. They would only be in a place like this if there was something serious going on.
Cayn: I see.
Adam: They are the soldiers that keep order in this country. They are a powerful order that keeps this country stable. The major force that keeps dangerous forces in check.
Cayn: So they're quite important then.
Cayn eats a small tomato on his plate.
Adam: ...Here, take this, this is enough gold to purchase what you will need for our next venture. This should also cover the food when you get hungry, other than that, find something to keep yourself busy for today. I might be back by the end of the day. I'll meet you back at the inn.
Cayn: Huh, wait, where are you going?
Adam: I'm going to learn more about the situation. It is better to know about these things than not. See you later.
Cayn: I'll continue reading the magic books. Take care.
*(this conversation needs to be a bit longer. develop the characters and their relationship dynamic)
*(what kind of knowledge does cayn possess? what does he know of the world?)
-- Adam leaves the table and heads toward the knights --
*(need to understand natural conversation as hard as possible)
*(what recognizable changes do Regan and Adam see in each other after not having seen eachother for alength of time?)
*(Adam first initiates the conversation with a few questions to which Regan answers. Then Regan asks some questions. Their conversation continues for a while into the guard house of the town. Adam and Regan catch up to now.)
*present*
Regan - investigation
Adam - travelling to
*past*
Regan being the captain of the squad
Adam from Benra Order
Adam: Regan, Long time no see.
Regan: Ah, Adam, it really has been a long time. How are you?
Adam: I've been doing well enough, what are you doing in this town?
Regan: My squad has been dispatched to this town to investigate a theft.
Adam: Just a theft?
Regan: What was stolen is the pressing reason, Holy weapons. Holy weapons are disappearing from rare collections and armories all over Cygnus.
Adam: Just holy weapons?
Regan: Though other items are being stolen with these weapons, the rarest of weapons, the most heavily protected and kept secret of weapons seem to be the main focus on these thefts.
(enemy group makes it obvious that they only want holy weapons
they don't do this if they simply strip what they can with holy weapons.
Adam: I'm currently travelling to a village that requested some help. I've been to that village before and so I thought do what I can.
Regan: Hmm. So you turned to quest work after leaving the guard?
Adam: I'm apparently suited for it. I'm not someone to become a guard of a lord or town. Now then, what are you doing here?
Regan: The usual burglary investigation. Holy weaponry have been disappearing all around Cygnus. Though holy weapons are, as you know, expensive items, other valuable items aren't being taken as well.
Adam: Do we know of the possible enemy group?
Regan: No. The group responsible must be extremely powerful and or they just sprang up recently and gained power at tremendous speed. None of our spies have found any information concerning any such group.
Adam: Let me follow you for today, I want to know more about the situation, I'll help in any way that I can.
Regan: Of course, you have always made my job easier.
There is one more blacksmith who had his collection broken into. We're going to that person next.
The blacksmith only possessed 2 holy weapons, an axe and a spear and the armory here possessed one holy weapon and that was a long sword.
Adam: I see...
Regan: Speaking of swords, so you're still using the sword you were given when you were promoted.
Adam: ...If I had found something as well made, I would have sold it a long time ago but it has become one of my important possessions after all these years...
Regan: It was quite a loss when you were forced to leave the guard.
Adam: The Red Guard needs to trust its soldiers as much as possible. They were no longer able to trust me because of my past.
Regan: I know the reason why you were forced to leave... but I believe that there was actually another reason. Did you think of this?
Adam: ...This is in the past. I don't want to go back to the Red Guard either.
Let us go to the next blacksmith you spoke of.
-- Later that afternoon outside a town bar--
Regan: So 2 blacksmiths and an armory had their holy weapons stolen in this town.
This has occurred in many other towns as well.
Even rare holy weapons within well protected private collections have been taken.
The investigations of the thefts shown that the criminals were top experts.
There were no signs of forced entry, no distinctive imprints, they have made no flaws that any other less skilled thieves would make.
Adam: To have such skilled people at their disposal...
Regan: I'm starting to think this group will elude us for many months to come.
Adam: Hmm... How prepared are the knights?
Regan: They are fairly capable. At the very least they can take on a level 25 magical beast on their own.
but if they find themselves up against someone who require holy weapons...
Adam: ...most dark types are above level 40...
Regan: We need more experienced people with us in this mission
but currently, only the men that I lead could be spared.
We looked around for strong people to help us against this looming threat
but only not many have dedicated their time and effort.
***and needs more conversation for some reason as this feels too short
***need to somehow lead into thin demon fight

Regan: I know the reason why you were forced to leave... but I believe that there was actually another reason. Did you think of this?
Adam: ...This is in the past. I don't want to go back to the Red Guard either.
Let us go to the next blacksmith you spoke of.
-- Later that afternoon outside a town bar--
Regan: So 2 blacksmiths and an armory had their holy weapons stolen in this town.
This has occurred in many other towns as well.
Even rare holy weapons within well protected private collections have been taken.
The investigations of the thefts shown that the criminals were top experts.
There were no signs of forced entry, no distinctive imprints, they have made no flaws that any other less skilled thieves would make.
Adam: To have such skilled people at their disposal...
Regan: I'm starting to think this group will elude us for many months to come.
Adam: Hmm... How prepared are the knights?
Regan: They are fairly capable. At the very least they can take on a level 25 magical beast on their own.
but if they find themselves up against someone who require holy weapons...
Adam: ...most dark types are above level 40...
Regan: We need more experienced people with us in this mission
but currently, only the men that I lead could be spared.
We looked around for strong people to help us against this looming threat
but only not many have dedicated their time and effort.
***and needs more conversation for some reason as this feels too short
***need to somehow lead into thin demon fight

green mage ch. 4 pt. 2: Brilliant Light
***A few hours pass.***
Cayn: Look over there, that bush is glowing.
Maybe there are some of those flowers there.
Adam: Stop, stay where you are.
Cayn: Huh?
Adam: I don't know of a plant that glows like that.
Cayn: Then it must be...
Adam: Shoot a leaf arrow quickly, before it escapes.
Cayn: Sharpen your green edge. Leaf arrow.
The bush shines brightly for a moment.
Adam: It's emerging.
A Light Emitting Stag appeared from the bushes.
Adam: Tch... This one one is a high level.
Adam attacks! 88 damage dealt!
The Light Emitting Stag howls in pain!
The Light Emitting Stag starts running away!
Adam: We're following it. Try to keep up.
Adam attacks! Nick hit. 50 damage dealt.
Adam: Light creatures resist most elemental attacks
so your attacks can't do much against it.
Stay behind me and just keep using heal.
Adam attacks! Nick hit. 68 damage dealt.
The Light Emitting Stag fires 5 Light Bolts.
66! 72! 56! Adam takes 192 damage!
56 76! Cayn takes 132 damage!
Cayn: Ugh, it hits hard.
Adam attacks! 98 damage dealt!
Cayn casts heal. Adam is healed for 106 hp.
The Light Emitting Stag put up a White Chaos Wall!
Adam attacks! 78 damage dealt! Adam takes 30 damage from damage shield.
cayn heals Adam for 82 health.
The Light Emitting Stag uses Infinite Bolt!
Adam gets hit for 38, 41, 36, 46 damage!
Cayn gets hit for 23, 32, 39 damage!
Adam attacks! 76 damage dealt! Adam takes 42 damage from the damage shield.
Cayn heals himself for 88 health.
The Light Emitting Stag uses Pure Restore! 200 health is restored.

The Light Emitting Stag is gathering light into a large bright spear!
Adam: Stop. We're done.
Adam stops the pursuit.
The Light Emitting Stag disappears.
Adam: Ha... Ha... Neither one of us would have been able endure that attack.
Cayn: Such power... *cough cough*... I've never seen such magic.
Adam: It was a rare creature that only a few have glimpsed of.
Cayn: We were no match for it.
Adam: If we had a hunter with us, to make it slow down, the fight would probably still last the whole night.
2060 experience is received.
Adam's level increases from 27 to 28! Attack increases by 3! Defence increases by 2! Agility increases by 1!
Cayn's level increases from 22 to 23! Defence increases by 1! Magic increases by 2! Agility increases by 1!
Cayn learns Clear Ward.
Cayn: It didn't want to fight us did it?
Adam:...We needed the experience. There are more dangerous creatures more terrible that what we just fought.
It may not have been hostile but the experience prepares us for what is much worse.
Cayn: Why should it need such power?
Adam: ...I don't know. There isn't much known about rare creatures like that white stag.
Cayn: I remember watching my teacher fighting terrifyingly strong enemies perhaps as strong as the stag...
I can't see myself becoming as strong as him...
Adam: We can only gain strength little by little.
You shouldn't think of becoming powerful.
Cayn: ...I'll try harder next time.
Adam: You did well for tonight. Lets head back.
Cayn: Look over there, that bush is glowing.

green mage chapters
Chapter 3: Venomflies
Cayn: It's getting dark...
Adam: You could use the experience of fighting in dark places.
you should also learn that different and more dangerous beasts appear at night as well.
Cayn: ...
Adam: Walk closer to me, I have a faerie lantern for some light.
Cayn: It's getting quite cold as well.
Adam: Just bear with it. The place I need your help with is much more
terrible than being just cold and dark.
Keep watch for any strange plants. At night, rarer plants are easier to find that we can forage.
Cayn: You seem to know alot about plants like that time with the toad.
Adam:
The village I was born in was an area with a strange soil which would grow
a variety of strange and rare plants.
but we weren't able to grow anything ourselves on this soil,
not even the common crops. We had to wait for nature to grow plants for us.
We had to forage everyday to find these plants but they kept our village prosperous.
Ah. Here is some cold root. It can reduce fire damage or imbue a weapon with the ice element weakly.
It's fairly common though.
Obtained cold rootx4 (Price: 800 each)
Cayn: How about this white flower behind this large stone?
Adam: This is...quite rare. Don't touch it. I'll get it.
Adam pulls out a glass jar.
It's a silent flower. It contains a powerful poison and is difficult to handle properly.
It sells for a handsome price so this is a very good find.
Obtained Silent Flower x2. (Price: 4000 each)

Adam consumed Coldbeast Steak.
Strength increased by 2, HP increased by 20
Adam: I haven't had such a good meal like this since I quit being a Red Knight.
Cayn consumed Golden Bird Stew.
Defence increased by 2, Speed increased by 2, Sp increased by 10.
Cayn: Oh yes, this is quite good as well.
Adam: ...Cayn, what mage school did you go to?
Cayn: none, I was taught magic by the village leader.
Adam: he was a mage? you should know more than just cure and fire drop.
Cayn: he wasn't a mage. he was a mage knight but magic was all he could teach me.
Cayn takes a sip of his wine.
Cayn: Filmis village had long winters and only 5 of the 30 people living there could use magic. *
Flame Drop had it's uses.
Adam: Well you're far from being able to fight monsters. *
I'm not very interested in training you either.
You can't be as lucky as you were with the tree toad.
Cayn: Um... well... my attacks could be stronger if i consumed food which increased my int.
Filmis village didn't have food that increased intelligence, didn't have food that increased Speed either.
Adam: increasing your attributes through food isn't cheap or fast. You probably can't eat as much either... *
Adam looks at Cayn's simple wooden staff behind Cayn's back.
Adam: your staff doesn't look very powerful either. what is its power?
Cayn takes out his staff and stares at it.
Cayn: ...this staff boosts my magical power by 20 points.
Adam: Thats... weak. I'll buy you a stronger one at the weapon shop.
We have quite a bit of gold now from selling the tree toad's eye.
Cayn: how much?
Adam: Well this meal costed us about 2000 gold. since we didn't eat for so long, the meal was worth it.
We currently have around 5300 gold.
Cayn: Could you give me 2000 gold? i have something i want to buy.
Adam: you're not gonna buy something useless are you?
Cayn: Oh no, of course not. This will buy something useful. *
***
Adam: You're back late.
Cayn: I had trouble finding the last of the materials.
Adam: materials?
Cayn: I found a few of the things i needed in the market but... I had to head into the forest to find the rest.
Adam: You went into the forest?
Cayn returns 800 gold to Adam.
Cayn: Yup. Here, wear this around your wrist.
Adam received cloth bracelet.
Adam: A cloth bracelet.
Cayn: Filmis is a village that is famous for making accessories for travellers.
I thought i would make two for us.
Adam: what exactly does this accessory do?
Cayn: hmm... I don't remember really which accessory did what.
I remember one could decrease encounters... another could increase movement speed...
but i did remember what materials i needed and how to make this accessory.
Adam: how... wonderful.
well i purchased you a more powerful staff. it's on your bed.
Cayn received Moon Staff.
Adam: It increases your magical power by 60 and so you can get rid of your old one.
Cayn looks at his old staff.
Adam: I also bought the items you generally need as an adventurerer
Cayn received 10 Green Vials, 6 Blue Vials, 3 Antidotes.
Cayn stuffs his bag with these items.
Adam: We'll be returning to the forest in the morning so get some rest.
we'll first look for some weaker monsters to see if you can handle them.
Cayn: right.
Adam: well then, night.
Cayn: Good night.
***
Adam: got everything?
Cayn: yeah.
Cayn and Adam leave the inn.
Cayn turns to Adam: ...I'll be right back.
Adam: ...
Cayn returns.
Adam: where did you go?
Cayn: I put my old staff into storage.
Adam: ...why?
Cayn: I want to keep it.
Adam: It's just a weak staff.
Cayn: I don't think anyone else would appreciate it as much i did.
Adam: Riiight. Well, we'll be walking around the forest to find an easier battle than the tree toad.
lets see what you can do now.

Cayn: I found a few of the things i needed in the market but... I had to head into the forest to find the rest.
Adam: You went into the forest?
Cayn returns 800 gold to Adam.
Cayn: Yup. Here, wear this around your wrist.
Adam received cloth bracelet.
Adam: A cloth bracelet.
Cayn: Filmis is a village that is famous for making accessories for travellers.
I thought i would make two for us.
Adam: what exactly does this accessory do?
Cayn: hmm... I don't remember really which accessory did what.
I remember one could decrease encounters... another could increase movement speed...
but i did remember what materials i needed and how to make this accessory.
Adam: how... wonderful.
well i purchased you a more powerful staff. it's on your bed.
Cayn received Moon Staff.
Adam: It increases your magical power by 60 and so you can get rid of your old one.
Cayn looks at his old staff.
Adam: I also bought the items you generally need as an adventurerer
Cayn received 10 Green Vials, 6 Blue Vials, 3 Antidotes.
Cayn stuffs his bag with these items.
Adam: We'll be returning to the forest in the morning so get some rest.
we'll first look for some weaker monsters to see if you can handle them.
Cayn: right.
Adam: well then, night.
Cayn: Good night.
***
Adam: got everything?
Cayn: yeah.
Cayn and Adam leave the inn.
Cayn turns to Adam: ...I'll be right back.
Adam: ...
Cayn returns.
Adam: where did you go?
Cayn: I put my old staff into storage.
Adam: ...why?
Cayn: I want to keep it.
Adam: It's just a weak staff.
Cayn: I don't think anyone else would appreciate it as much i did.
Adam: Riiight. Well, we'll be walking around the forest to find an easier battle than the tree toad.
lets see what you can do now.

words, ideas: adventure horror
ideas for a horror game where you don't have the ability to die.
survival horror means you can die and item management.
scenarios
you call a cab in the middle of night
you fall asleep in the cab
you find yourself in the middle of nowhere with the driver gone
you wait in the cab for a while until you get fed up.
you see this plain white old wooden building in the clearing but obviously you shouldn't go in there.
you walk up and down the road for a while but you get tired.
you walk back and decide to look around the house.
it's impossible to look though the windows as it's pitch black inside and the flashlight you have for some magical reason can't pierce through it.
blah blah blah
inside the house, the electricity works, the walls and decorations are still a faded white-gray
it's dusty, the furniture looks brownish gray, yet the house looks comfortable.
and you black out.
and you end up in the basement with no apparent injuries.
the basement is large as heck.
and you have to explore this underground mysterious mansion
in a garden with white statues
the fountain is dried up, a few statues lay broken on the floor
the screen flickers for a moment and suddenly all the statues, even the broken ones, are all fixed up and facing you
then the screen flickers again with the statues at their original states
you walk forward and you knock over something injuring your knee and breaking the thing you knock over.
a statue of a small baby angel lay at your feet with his head and limbs broken off because you knocked it over.
there wasn't anything in front of you before the moment of the screen flicker.
a long white room
black windows high on the walls which you can't reach
a painting of a woman holding a baby
she says this room is safe
the road you are walking down is suddenly foggy
you continue walking forward for a few minutes
and suddenly your character disappears
and the camera zooms out to see your character falling off a cliff silently
your character wakes up in the backseat of a car beside an unbuckled baby seat at the bottom of this cliff.
enter a room, door shuts behind you.
nothing happens in the room,
you try to go back out but the door is jammed.
and then gap between the bottom of the door and the floor becomes dark -possibly an unknown person or figure is now outside the door
and this figure suddenly leaves
then you open the door
then an object, a puzzle peice or something useless is on the ground outside the room you were trapped in temporarily
maybe make it more obvious someone was there outside
maybe the entity made a lot of noise
or there were sounds of many people walking outside, perhaps they never stop at your door(or they all stop at the door)
various aspects
when i talk about a room number, i am referring to the room in this exploration game.
http://www.99rooms.com/ which has an eerie atmosphere perfect for horror.
room 89: fantasy element: an insect playing an instrument or a string
happy memories being replayed in sad ways -silent hill shattered memories
you obviously get injured, the games shows these injuries -call of cthulhu
but are easily healed by resting on something soft or on a chair
there are no such items to collect and stock up on.
injuries slow you down considerably but never kill you
resting simply makes you stay silent and still for a while in the unknown darkness, the transition to darkness is slow
it should be known that nowhere is considered anywhere safe
resting is not possible in "white rooms" as resting would be too difficult
white rooms would actually drain your stamina or be more difficult to move though.
thousands of white wires cover the wall
shadows you can barely see accumulate and continue to make a room darker each time you visit it.
you remove dirty rags one by one off this large pile of rags
and under this large pile you discover a body.
a room is flooded with an unknown murky dark brown substance
a room is red until this object drains the red out it
a ghostly woman crying/sitting infront of a crib
music boxes
the tall hall of beds have ghostly bodies sleeping in the beds.
possessing tortured faces
a white room where you must draw a red line
room where you must watch a red line being drawn (you follow this odd line)
locations
cars broken, left crashed inside a building, at the bottom of a cliff
staircases
and the top of a tall building-rain or windy
abandoned houses new/pretty/elegant vs old/small
stair cases
abandoned hospitals, office buildings, libraries, underground rooms, schools, daycares
taken
completely alone
no bodies alive or dead
animals
plants
the monster is always there, you only notice it when it moves as it it looks like a dead white tree
drowning in a lake
old
mirrors
random/short events -resident evil
things keep falling down like birds, the roof, or dirty water
possibly when you complete a puzzle relating to birds -maybe you destroy an image of a bird
there is suddenly many small objects hitting the room.
outside the house is many dead birds(maybe white) -maybe with their heads and wings cut off bloody.
not simple game overs-such as just the words game over
various mechanics
inventory
sound effects/music
your tools easily break -rust -age as they're old
if for some reason you are barefoot, your body slowly becomes black as you become "tainted"
in a way that could work in hearth and haven
if any music, music must be perfect
music plays at certain times perhaps rare times
ex. in a room with music, you leave room, you reenter, the music does not play.
things that generate noise would happen silently instead
or it happens slowly as if it was in it's own dimension.
