Saturday May 16th, 4646 at 1:39 AM in Tophiopolis Darius yawned as he stood outside General Suinar's office. He took a moment to collect himself, so he would be as professional looking as possible. While they were technically the same rank, General Suinar was in charge of the city, so effectively outranked Darius while he was in Tophiopolis. After breathing deeply a few times and feeling a bit more awake, Darius knocked on the door and headed in. Troa's office was lavishly decorated in a mix of traditional Tophiopolian and Nocturanian styles. While most of the furniture was Nocturnian in design, Troa's desk was ornately carved with a depiction of human soldiers in Tophiopolian armor, clearly not Nocturnian in origin. The wall was lined with paintings, also a mix of Nocturnian and Tophiopolian art. Most were paintings of historic battles the respective countries fought. On the wall above Troa's chair was the exception, a painting of Overlord Shin, in full royal attire normally reserved for special occasions. Darius saw General Suinar sitting at his desk reading some papers. Darius saluted. "General, you wanted to see me?" he asked while saluting.

Troa glanced at Darius. "One sec..." he said, continuing to read. He then started chuckling as he looked up at Darius, turning the papers around, revealing a comic strip. "Haha this is some funny ass stuff!"

Darius stood there, unsure how to react.

Troa put the papers down and backed his chair up. "Have a seat."

Darius sat down in front of the desk. "You had something to talk to me about?" he asked.

"As a matter of fact, I did..." Troa said, reaching behind him to grab a document. "Well Lord Anstrum got word of you coming here, so he sent this order for you." Troa said, handing Darius the papers. "He basically wants you to work closely with the Tophiopolitan branch while you're here."

"I see," Darius replied. "I didn't really expect to be staying this long. My troops and I shall work with you in whatever you need though."

"S'okay, man." Troa said, leaning back in his chair. "So tell me what happened out there and back in Oroeth."

"I supposed I should start at the beginning. My troops had occupied Oroeth," Darius explained. "When they tried to capture the mayor, they ran into some resistance. Hugo and Taina were both beaten, and I had to intervene personally. I beat 2 of the rebels, and had a tough fight against two others. Since we were in the middle of town I couldn't use my full power. There was one girl... I could sense it, her powers were different, but somehow they seemed similar to my own. I can't really explain it. General Larentine eventually had to intervene. Despite that, they were able to escape by ship.
Since then I've been able to sense that girl when I tried. I don't really understand it myself. That's how I was able to follow them here. I tracked them down hoping I could learn more and to make sure they weren't going to be a threat to Nocturnia's new territory of Oroeth. I was able to get them to agree to talk, but she didn't know much and we were interrupted. A girl they met here was with them. She had nothing to do with the situation, so your men escorted her home. However, while I was talking to the girl I followed from Oroeth, things went to hell. Somehow that one from here went insane. There were axes growing out of her hands, and she was incredibly powerful. There was almost nothing that could hurt her. I had no choice but to work with the people I was chasing to clear the streets and lead that axe girl out of town. We were able to stop her somehow."

"Well that explains Estoffer and Urakel..." Troa said. "But the one you met in Oroeth. Sounds a bit li-"
Just then, other Nocturnian soldiers burst in through the door. 4 of them, considting of a tall, olive-haired man with a mustache, a woman with short, brown hair wearing a cloth mask over her face, another woman with long, navy blue hair and a scar on the lower right of her jaw, and a man with short, blond hair and fancy jewelry all over his ears, collar, hands, and wrists. All four wore the Tophiopolitan Nocturnian uniform, much more similar to Troa's than the lower-ranked soldiers.
"Wow, all of you at once!" Troa teased. "Impressive timing!"
"You wanted to see us, general?" the blond man asked.
"at's right... Darius, I'd like ya to meet the majority of our generals."
