(The first trial's a simple test of morals, they won't start battling until the second trial.)

(How does it work? ^^' )

(Each will be asked a few questions, if they are determined to be of good character, they will receive the grand prize of the first feather.)

(Questioned by who? Azure?)

(By the fire guardian, Infernus. Azure will be included eventually, but not until later.)

(You want to start this scene?)

((Also, where do you want Marth and KK to end up?))

(They'll be heading out to a small valley, a slavers caravan will be found. I'll start it off.)

Upon reaching a dark red shrine, a young man with fiery red hair approached them.

"We have visitors? It's been nearly five centuries..." The boy smiled, he was clearly a bit energetic.

"We're here to collect the Eternal Feather..."

Wisteria took out her knife strapped to her thigh, ready to counter any attacks he might do. She watched his every move just to be sure, letting Axl handle things.

"Mind if I ask who you are?"

"I am Infernus, the youngest of the seven guardians. You are Axl Rose, the Axl Rose impersonator, and the angel Wisteria Doveless, yes?"

Axl almost seemed surprised that he knew that, though his surprised turned to offended upon being called the impersonator.

"Aye," she replied, still on edge.

"Your first trial is a simple test of morals. We want to know why you want our mother's treasure." Infernus replied, "Your tests will be completed separately. Perhaps the angel would like to go first?"

Axl took a deep breath, relaxing near the fiery man.

Looking him over with suspicions, Wisteria stood up from her stance and squared her shoulders. “Fine.”

Infernus went into the shrine, sitting in a blazing throne.

The angel followed, muscles tense and coiled. “So,” she started, “what now?”

"Why do you seek the feather? As an angel, you've already got eternal life I assume, so what benefit does it bring you? Or is it for someone else?"

“Angels don’t live forever; we just age immeasurably slower than humans do. And I don’t want the feather. I was assigned to ensure it didn’t fall into the wrong hands. If Axl turned out to use it for harm in any way, I am to kill him. If it’s stolen, I’m to find it and kill the person with it.”

"You seem sincere. What harm could Axl do with the feather? Surely the aspiring musician would use it for good, right?"

“We don’t know that,” Wisteria countered. “For all I know, he’ll use it to start a war, or for revenge, or sell it to the highest bidder. There are countless of ways one could become corrupt by this power.”

She spoke from experience. It’s happened a number of times since Winter Shade became known to live over 340 years. Demons kill for less than that.

Infernus nodded in response, "Why did you agree to go with Axl to the island anyways?"

“I told my director what was going on, and he assigned me a mission. I intend to see it all the way through.” The angel danced around his question tactfully, which usually worked on everyone.
