Those who venture near Tartarus say they hear an unholy wailing. If they linger too long, that wailing becomes louder, many flee before the sound reaches them. Those foolish enough to stay encounter a deadly fate!

As you wander the tenth floor you hear more and more rumors of this. A suspicious old lady with wry black hair, who wears a dirty, silk night gown approaches you, she speaks in a very distressed voice as she almost pleads with you. She asks you to get rid of the banshee, for the banshee has killed her husband. Should you accept she promises a great reward and shows you a large bag containing 10,000 col. She states she no longer needs it for without her husband there is little to life. So you accept...

Zandra was once again sitting infront of the comfortable fireplace in her shop, sipping on a cup of hot choclate. She was planning her day, what was she gonna do today? She opened her quest list to see if there was any quests she havent done yet. She was almost done. Thou there was one hard quest left, that she probably shouldnt try all on her own. The wail of the banshee on floor ten. Maybe she would make it, maybe. But when certainly and maybe are two different choices, Zandra prefered to go for certainly. So she pushed herself up from the armchair she had spent so many hours in.''Are you ready Zita, time to go for some adventure.'' she said to her eagle familiar that was reasting at the roof beams. She looked down at Zandra and answered with a cry that sounded almost identical to the human word yes. The two girls leaft the shop, the bird resting on Zandras shoulder. Whille they was walking Zandra wrote a message to some that she would like to have with her on the quest. A few moments later they was at the darkness of floor ten. At the warp plaza they sat down on a bench not far from the teleportation gate, so they would see when their friend arrived.

Lowenthal stepped down from the eleventh floor. He could have just walked to Taft, then teleport, but that was no fun. Besides, from his previous endeavors with Mari, he had grown used to the darkness and was able to make his way without fumbling around like a complete idiot. Lowenthal made his way to the beginning of the area, where he was to meet up with Zandra. He had spoke to Zandra before, back when Velvet Room was alive and running. But it had died, and Lowenthal was lied too. And now Lowenthal was a member of the KotBO. His usual black jacket now replaced with a white, red, and gold jacket. Squinting he could see a shape sitting on a bench. "Zandra? I'm here." Lowenthal called out. Lowenthal waved at her, not sure if she could even see him. WHen he was closer he confirmed that it was indeed Zandra. "Hey, ready for a witch hunt?" Lowenthal asked, ready to do the quest.

Zandra havent waited for that long when she saw a shadow approach her. Due to the darkness of floor ten, she couldnt tell who it was until the player in question was only a few meters away from her.''Oh heya Lowenthal. Nice to see yo...'' she got stopped right in her sentence when she saw her former guild-leaders new outfit. More and more of her friends seemed to change into this colour sheme. Also, every time she saw someone in that guild she rembered she was one of the few high leveled solo-players, since she think she could start to call herself high level by now.''Ehm... nice to see you. Long time no see.'' Next, he asked her if she was ready for a witch hunt. She hit her right fist into her open left hand.''You bet I am, shall we get going straigth away?''

[Jomei 0]

Sitting on a bench on Floor Eleven, the ginger haired man swiped his hand upwards to open his inventory, using his pointer finger to scroll through the items until he came to a most familiar one. Seconds later, a wooden string instrument lay in his hands. It had been such a long time since Jomei had practiced playing his lute. Thankfully, being a game mechanic more than needing actual skill, he did not forget how to play. He looked to his side, where his own companion sat on the back of the bench, fluttering her wings happily as the Irishman prepared to play his music. Jomei then chuckled in response and turned forward again, finding the perfect placement for his left hand's fingers on the neck of the lute. As his finger plucked the first string, he was interrupted by the soft chiming of bells. A curious man looked up to see a message had been sent to him, and upon opening it, saw it was from Zandra. She was requesting help for a quest, Wail of The Banshee. Lucky for her, he had already completed this mission with the help of Zelrius and Shizuka, so helping out Zandra with it should be simple. Closing the message and placing the lute back into his inventory, the man threw himself up from the bench, called Adere to his shoulder, and headed towards the blue ring that would carry him to Floor Ten.

The man squinted his olive eyes multiple times, trying to get used to the darkness that Floor Ten brought. "Jeez.. I forgot just how dark it was here. Hopefully we can find her." The man slowly waked, looking left and right for the woman. It was not long before he recognized the noirette's silhouette by her heavy armor, whip on her waist, and eagle on her shoulder. She was accompanied by a taller man, just shorter than Jomei. He had an idea just who that was as well. The man smirked and walked forward, and the two came into light. It was Zandra and Lowenthal. The man chuckled, "Didn't think you could go on this one without me, did you?" he said looking at Zandra, placing a hand on her shoulder. He then turned to look at Lowenthal with the same smirk, which became slightly confused when he noticed his change of color scheme. His usual attire of blacks and grays was changed to reds and whites. He immediately realized what that meant. "Lowe, good to see you too. I take it you've joined up with KoB huh." He chuckled, "I'm pretty sure you've been in most of the top guilds in SAO by now." his chuckle turned into a laugh.

Lowenthal turned, to be pleasantly surprised. "Ah Jomei!" He said happily, his voice echoing off of the caves walls. When Jomei had mentioned that he had joined the Knights of the Blood, Lowenthal looked down at his attire. "Yeah. I look ridiculous, don't I?" Lowenthal chuckled, picking up his coat and looking at the white that it now was. "And if you count Velvet Room in on that list of top tier guilds, then of course I was. Still am." Lowenthal said, still saddened over the loss of the Velvet Room. "But this is not the time to chat about the past, we've got a banshee to kill." Lowenthal said, putting Zandra and Jomei under his arms. It felt like old times, back when Velvet Room was just the three of them. Lowenthal beamed as he spoke. "Lead us onward Lady Zandra." He said, pointing in a random direction. He wasn't the quest leader, so he didn't have the quest marker.

[Zandra 0]

Not many moments later, another man accompanied them. Zandra greeted him with a kiss on the cheek."Nope, it was such a long time since we was on a quest together. Last one must have been the snow beast right?" She said as much to herself as to Jomei when he started to talk to Lowenthal.

"Yeah Lowenthal, you look completly rediculys." She said, with a giggle to point out she was joking. Then he placed himself between the couple with his arms on hers and Jomeis shoulders. Then he pointed into the darkness, telling her to lead the way, as Lady Zandra. She felt her heart beat in her chest and her cheeks got warm. If it wasnt because off the darkness, they would see her eyes got wet. It felt like a dream. For a girl that have lived her whole life in loneliness, to feel the love and friendship from two friends, real friends. It was almost to much for her. She gulped."Lets go tha... Lets go that way." She said with a shaky voice, pointing at a complete different direction then Lowenthal did. And the trio left the settlement and safe zone behinf them.

[Jomei 0]

The irishman smiled and rubbed the nape of his neck when Zandra greeted him happily. "Yeah, or if you count our hunt on Floor Thirteen." Jomei smirked and crossed his arms, his olive eyes looking Lowenthal's new clothes up and down. "I don't know Lowe.. I don't think you can really be the Master of 'Shadows' when you're wearing white." He pat the man on the back twice to let him know he was merely teasing him. He was truly happy for his friend that he was brought into yet another guild. One that he, himself, had turned down. He watched as the sandy haired man walked to the center of Zandra and Jomei, wrapping his arms around them. It had been awhile since the three were together like this. Only thing that was missing was Piera and Lee. Jomei felt a knot of sadness in his stomach at the comment, but knew now was not the time for that. Jomei turned to Zandra, awaiting her decision on which way to look for this banshee. "Alright, lets get going then."
