(Note: This is only open for Sumata or Trucido to post in.)
Seigmand approached the heavy gates to Abyssus, shouldering a heavy pack behind him. The guards lowered their weapons as he passed through into the large empty lobby. He listened for any voices before coming in further, yet only silence greeted him at the moment.
"Trucido, we have to talk. I trust you are in."
Seigmand took a seat amoung one of the many large chairs and waited for a reply.

"Ah, hello!" His voice echoed "How is everything with you, Seigmand?" He was sitting in a chair like he would normally sit in a chair.

"Good sir, but time is of the essence." Seigmand stood up quickly to give Trucido a short bow before reclining back in his seat. "My research on the humans and Earth has been slow, but I think I may have found a clue to aid us." With this Seigmand pulled a collection of charts and pages from his pack and laid them out before Trucido. The charts are of the city of Donnertburg from before the great war happened. The connecting pages seemed to be of old manuscripts from the rulers before the war took place.
"It appears that the Tuono were clever enough to keep much of their records and historical documents deep under the catacombs of the castle. There's said to be data and information about decades worth of history that we thought were lost do to all other books being destroyed during sieges. I figure that myself and a few of the 13 should go into the ruins and retrieve what we can."
After a brief pause, Seigmand's face changed from the cheerful exuberance into a more stoic expression. "I warn you sir, there's a good reason why the records may still be there. The castle was well protected by traps, magic and creatures. Much of these same precautions were placed within the catacombs themselves. It could get dangerous. But what say you my liege?"

"..Now this is what I like about you." Trucido said "You always were good at chess, planning ahead for the next 2 turns. I can get them here, and you can give the speak to them." He snapped his finger and owls flew from the room and flew to the other kingdoms. "We are going have to wait for a bit. Can I get you anything to drink? or eat?"

One of those owls did not fly too far away from Vuoto, as one of the other kingdoms' rulers happened to have been heading that way at that very moment. The young, blond-haired man who went by the name of Alexander kicked open the large doors and strode in with a slight sway to his body.
Following along behind him was a shorter man with greying hair and a troubled look on his face - he wore a cream-coloured robe and seemed to scowl at Alexander. Trucido would have remembered him as being the nosey little royal advisor of the Santo-Luce kingdom.
"Trucido! Hey, what's up? I've got some things to go over with you..." Alexander started before realizing that the other man was there. He blinked then, looking from Trucido to Seigmand, obviously knowing that he must have just interrupted something.
Yet surprisingly, he snickered, turning to Trucido and asking, "Hey, who's the geek?" as he referred to Seigmand. A groan was heard from behind Alexander as the royal advisor, for the sixth time that day, clapped a hand to his forehead and swore.
If there was any better time for Alexander to prove he knew none of the Sumata 13 members, it was definitely now.

"Ah, the young king is here!" Trucido said as he pulled out a bowl of Ice cream. "This sumata, King Seigmand Dezmar, can bend the ground to kick your ass, it is very cool to watch!"

The groan heard only seconds ago quickly turned into a snicker as Alexander's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets and he grinned widely (with quite the flush of embarrassment) at Seigmand and said, "Whoa, let's not get crazy here! I'm not here to start trouble, I'm here to party - you want to party, eh, buddy?"
The royal advisor's muffled laughter grew in volume behind Alexander, which made the young king's face suddenly fall into a scowl. Without having to turn his head in any direction, he shot his foot back and kicked the short man in the leg sharply. Alexander's grin returned when the room echoed with a painful yelp and a 'thud' when a body hit the floor.
"So...I seem to have interrupted something--" Alexander started to speak again when the owl designated to summon him landed and sat upon his head. He blinked up at the feathered creature, who looked down at him and shook his leg with the note attached to it, letting out a "hoo-o-o-o!" as it did so.

Seigmand pulled the glasses from his eyes, wiping them clean before taking a good look at the young golden haired boy. Spotting the crest on the royal advisor's lapel, he assumed this was the king in training for Santa-Luce. He remained seated, merely turning towards Alex, "A pleasure to meet you Alexander. For your sake I hope your skills in combat make up for your skill in diplomacy. I admit we require your aid immediately, if you can lend it."
His attention was less focused on Alex himself, but more on the advisor. To see a man below Alex's station openly scoff at his actions meant either the boy was quite lenient, or quite weak. He'd need some data, and the current task looked like it would provide just fine.
"Spare yourself the owl and let me explain the situation." With a quick discussion Seigmand gave Alex the details of the venture. Once finished, he raised an questioning eyebrow. "Are you...skilled enough to join me in this?"

He hoped his skill in combat made up for his diplomacy? Uh oh. Alexander wasn't really the fighting type...he could, but it was common for him to try to avoid it.
He stood tall, straightening himself up and resting his hands on his hips as he flashed a grin at Seigmand and said, "First of all, Sir Dezmar, the name is 'Alexander the Great'. Secondly, I'm more than skilled to find records locked away in Tuono - I was away from my father's kingdom for a little over a year, learning the ways of survival all alone. I think I've more than learned a good deal..."
Behind him, the advisor grumbled again and Alexander shot him a nasty look. Alexander then looked up at the bird still sitting on his head and sighed, "Hey, little guy, you really need to leave because you're kind of messing up my hair..."
He looked back at Seigmand, folding his arms as he threw in, "By the way, I'll help you on your treasure-hunt, but I'm going to be having myself an awesome party at my place and all of the Sumata 13 is invited - which means I expect you to be there."

"Is that what the meeting is about? A party?"
A lady-like voice rang out in the room as Lilith walked in through the doorway. She sounded more annoyed than she did curious as the message she received from Trucido informed her that this meeting was quite important. Lately, with the loss of her sister and the destruction of her home, almost everything she said was outlined with bitterness. At the moment her hair was adorned with dark crimson roses, a sign she was still mourning the death of her sister despite her not saying anything. The flowers wrung themselves tightly to her, as though giving her a comforting hug.
Regardless of what was going on with her life, though, she smiled ever-so-sweetly to Trucido as she greeted him with, "My sir" and turned to Seigmand.
"Seigmand," she said quietly, nodding respectfully as she did so before glancing over at Alexander, "...young man from Santo-Luce. You are Bradley's son, if I remember correctly?"

Alexander nodded at Lilith with a big grin plastered on his face.
"I am - I'm the new king, milady! And I can tell you're from Alberisato, where many more lovely women like yourself are from!"
He kept his grin as he reached up and swatted the owl away.

Angelus: I don't suppose this little plan is open for the 14th Sumata? *Angelus opened the door from his room, cold air seemed to fill the room sending cold chills up everyone's back, his face looked normal unless you looked to his left eye which was glowing with darkness. The reason why he was already in the castle was because he was currently staying with Trucido sense he is not a ruler... yet. He viewed the two new people he had not seen at the last Sumata meeting but did not say anything.*

Alexander was quiet for a long moment before he let a grin creep across his face. He had stared at Angelus, as odd-looking as he was, for the longest time before he casually took a step back and placed his hands in his pants pockets.
"I don't know, man," Alexander chuckled as he shook his head at him, "I believe my buddy Seigmand said the Sumata thirteen was in this plan."
He only let the joke go so far though before he quickly added, "And you're not taking my spot! I called it first, my bro Seigmand heard it himself--can't argue it, he can bend the ground to kick your ass!"
Alexander concluded it with a knowing nod. There. That showed him.

*If you looked closely his face flashed to something else, something demonic.*
Angelus: Alex, is it? How did a noble snot nose punk like you make it into the Sumata 13? *He laughed.* Besides, I could take your kingdom and your place in the Sumata 13 if I wanted to!

Alexander's expression also changed, much like Angelus'. It wasn't demonic, but it most certainly was defensive, and his voice changed to a soft, threatening one.
"Indignant jerk, is it? How did a barbarian like you get to be part of the Sumata 14? I'll have you know that I am the son of Bradley Bartholomew Frexton IV of Santo-Luce, and Santo-Luce can kick the party-pooping snot out of....whatever kingdom you own! Especially now that I'm going to be taking the crown and I'll call the shots--right, House?" He turned, calling for the support of the royal advisor who slowly had gotten to his feet.
"Holmes, you idiot!" the advisor, apparently named Holmes, spat before looking over Angelus and then back again at Alexander. No, he really didn't want to stick up for the new...'mentally-challenged' king, but at the same time, there appeared to be some pride for his father and the kingdom inside of the young prince...
...and that was enough to make Holmes step in.
"Gentlemen, please. We're here for a meeting, not to start a war with each other," he calmly said, stepping between the two men, "......though I must say, Santo-Luce does kick some serious ass, sire."
