Emiya put up no struggle as Solomon took the Child from his care to heal the newcomers, most likely in an attempt to persuade them that his powers were indeed real, and at no monetary cost to themselves. His concern did peak when Solomon materialized a blade, and drew it upon the Child, yet as his "flesh" was rent, no blood was spilled. It was more in texture to a clay than anything else, and the "revelation" that the Child was not from the Hokubu but rather the Void wasn't as big for Emiya, since he already said the Child came from some tear in the fabric of reality, though it's nature was well beyond his ability to comprehend. Merlin's contribution to the discussion was also rather obvious; that the Child's existence brought danger.

"It hasn't happened so far, but there's no doubt people who'd see this Child as a weapon, or a means to gain power. Probably people willing to kill for Him. Whether that's to profit from his power, or use it for their own ends, there's no doubt they exist. Only question is in how to deal with them really. I don't think it's right to keep him separate from people, especially when, after being among them for only a day, he saw the suffering they were going through, and decided to fix it on his own. Imagine what he could do if he was raised properly? That may not necessarily be with me, but with a full understanding of empathy and compassion, and the world around him? He could do so many great, wonderful and frightening things. He could be more of a Hero than any of us."

There wasn't any attempt at hiding his own biases regarding the Child. Emiya wanted him to grow into a better hero than he ever could be. It was only natural, and yet completely different from how he treated his younger sister years ago. Then again, in her case, she was being forced to grant twisted, tainted wishes, while all Emiya wanted was for her to have a "normal" life. Now though, after seeing the state of the world in the wake of Tiamat, he couldn't help but wish for the Child to right his (partial) wrongs.

"That said, the threat of the Child's existence being used against everyone shouldn't be a reason to hide him from the world. I hate to say it, but I've promised to help people, everyone I can, though Tsumigakure and Shinramoto are at the top of that list. That's actually where I was about to head to, before someone thought I should be brought here, not that they were in the wrong for doing so, but still."

Emiya looked over to see a number of children surrounding his Summoning Animal, who'd resigned themselves to the fate of being a pet now, damn the consequences. Lying belly up in sheer bliss, he didn't even register Emiya's presence anymore.

"What would you two do? I shouldn't be the only person whose voice matters when it comes to this Child, because I was the only person stupid enough to go diving in the Hokubu. In fact, given that fact, I'm probably the last person who should be given the responsibility, since my first instinct upon seeing danger is to throw myself in front of it to save others."

While it was partially a joke, Emiya had to state that he was indeed not the best candidate for taking care of the Child given his beliefs. Sure he was a great role model to aspire to be, in theory, but in practice he was probably just going to leave the Child an orphan well before they made it to Tsumigakure. Just like Kings and leaders of old, he relied on the council of Merlin and Solomon.

The young magus asked for the counsel of the two Casters of the Grand station, and so it would be given. Looking beyond the congregation of children, to the mountains that overlooked the port town, he eyed the great forest that lay beyond the small fragment of human civilisation. Though it was Emiya's own ideal and his dedication to it that brought Merlin out of isolation, the incubus was not keen on allowing him to become a victim of it, as Artoria had centuries ago. Even in the wake of his seemingly shattered sense of self, Emiya's nature as a hero who helped everyone shone through. It was both joyous and saddening to witness for the Magus of Flowers. So he would put his own thoughts forward, plainly and honestly.

"You should be prepared to take such action, Emiya-kun. There are powerful forces at play here, and as capable as you are, you aren't any match for them. Should you wish to keep that child in your care, you must be prepared to hide, even if that means preventing others from being cured."

To sacrifice a few for the sake of the many. That was the proposal set by Merlin. A moral framework of cold, ruthless logic. A perversion of Emiya's desire to save everyone. But that was the way Merlin saw the world. The world of humans. That was the way of the King that Merlin sought to establish in Artoria, but realised all too late that he had failed. Merlin turned his eyes to Solomon next, his tone and expression one of stone, devoid of its usual gentleness. "The child will be safest in your hands, assuming we can't remain together. Until such a time arises, I think it best we travel together."

Coming from 209

Avon and company follow the audience from Last Bastion to the North East Island, their sail to the island was more than desiring, the ship was filled to capacity of the sick and their caretaker, Avon too had someone under her care, the fever had hit him harder than most, in his fragile state, most duties fall to her, finding the cure for both of them was at the centre of her mind, they managed to find somewhere to seat on the ship, the fever was getting worse, he periodically cough and shivered, been tightly locked in a crowd of this much sick people on a ship was not best for her or him but they had to make do.
The horn sound, the captain inform the passengers of their arrival, from the tone of his voice, Avon could tell the captain felt the same way she did; getting away from these sick but unlike her, the captain's wish was coming sooner than hers, raising from their seated position, she firmly held the dweller with one hand and the other hand on her associate's shoulder to guide him, they create a path as they move through the exit, getting off the ship was no small feat, everyone was eager to see the wonder child but the exit of the ship was not big enough for everyone to come out at once, using her body as shield, they struggle one step at a time toward the exit, the people were not going to wait their turn, they had missed it once at Last Bastion, as they move closer and closer to the exit, the walls of body press on them,at some point Avon had almost lost sight of her company, at the heart of the exit door, the light was dim, all she could do was move forward while maintaining her grip on the dweller and company

"keep moving" she beckon to the dweller while keeping her company close by, they manage to pass through the door and unto the shore of the island, there was no time to stop until they had step foot on earth, at this point Avon take view of her new location, she along with her companions maintain themselves with in the crowd, following them closely as they lead to the said wonders, this is her first time of stepping foot on this place, she closing monitor the terrain and its significant features, considering it's poor settlement, from the shores with one long gaze she could easily take in the layout of the place, there wasn't much to go by, like all places, a tavern was located almost at the centre of it, the population at the shore was scarce such the entourage was easily noticed as they arrive, fishing was clearly one of their profession here, for security it was basic, though the people spirit were lifted, they acted like they had been touched by divinity, the effects of red fever was no where to be found unlike in dainashi (175) where death loomed over the air, this made her further believe they were close to something if not someone with this unique power that the world clearly sort after but why in such an exposed place, were they not concern of those with ill intent, Avon and Co continue to follow the crowd, there wasn't much to cover as for distance, passing through some farms, buildings and small markets they arrive at their destination.
As if practiced, the crowd begin to open up, moving around the kid, they naturally will come of as hostile but they did it like they were worshippers of the child, as they move about as they mutter prayers, wishing for their own healing, this looked like madness to her, so much people believing, was this the start of another baseless and blind religion, the people continue to show sign of submission waiting their turn for a touch of divinity.

"we are here now, it is best you bow and show your respects to the god child and also lead me go, I have taken you to your fate, free me now"

"god child? You are funny Madam, there is an explanation to this manifestation, you may believe in a higher power but we will see"

At this point, Avon release her grip and allow the dweller join the crowd, she and companion will be close enough to not only see the the child but start feel the effects of those with red fever been around the child

"are you feeling something" she question her company @Geezus

Menma hobbled close to Avon, trying to get a look at the child as much as possible through the crowd of people. Just who was this child? Why were they so special? Could they really cure him of his affliction his mind began to wonder as he got closer and closer. The crowds of people swayed back and forth as each tried to get their own glimpse of said miracle child. Menma felt his affliction and a miracle cure were two things out of some fantasy. The Kyubi host pushed through the crowds as he too became engulfed with his wishes of being returned to his normal self. He could hear Avon asking if he could feel the effects this miracle child was supposed to render upon one with such a Serious Affliction to the Red Fever as the one that plauged Menma.

"I...I...don't know quite yet. " Menma muttered as he tried to get in closer to really see what this child was all about. He only hoped he wasn't being led on a wild goose chase, as he would be unable to do much to help himself in such a sorry state.

Straight up, I don't know where you guys are getting this idea there's a crowd. It's like no one's actually reading the roleplay. You stick out like sore thumbs and there is literally no one here in this landmark aside from a couple of villagers, Solomon, Merlin, Emiya, and the child.

Like with the other travelers coming to have their affliction cured, these two were no different. Though in the case of the latter, his disease was in its advanced stages. Likely a consequence of his direct encounter with the Mother of Primordial Life herself. And the child responded to this; with his eyes still closed he could touch the very essence of their existence, influencing reality about the two in an instant. It was a power derived from Chaos, and it wasn't a cure in the human context of the word. It was changing their realities, removing the Red Fever itself. They were liberated from the disease and free to go.

Avon could feel her senses returning, becoming better than prior, it was really a miracle, no touch, no dosage, no therapy and just like that she felt whole, maybe more than whole, Was this the work of the child or something within the child, was this permanent or there was more to it, this questions ran through her minds, she turn her hands to run through her body for any odds, she was not the only one who felt this miracle, the crowd make relief sounds indicating their satisfaction in the turn of event, joy filled the air, caretakers help their now healed ones to confirm the healing.

"don't doubt it too much" the last bastion dweller spoke to Avon

"somethings are beyond our understanding"

Avon filled with questions decide yet to take the dweller's words seriously, she was going to take this win and not question it. Questioning has never ended well she reminded herself.
Upon receiving her healing, Avon turn touch her partner on the shoulder to see if he too was now in good condition, he was fully healed, looking brighter and better. Avon see now that this was no illusion, the child was really a miracle child, she wait for her partner to confirm his recovery before speaking...

i must leave you now, i believe this is where our journey come to an end, i must head out south alone, there is a tale waiting for me there...

Avon gives her partner a hug and a good bye before returning back to the ship.

Until such a time arises, I think it best we travel together."
"Keep him close to you, Emiya Shirou. Though I suspect this child has already chosen you to be its caretaker." Solomon's words were not without basis; the moment he touched the child he became keenly aware of an innate connection it formed with Emiya. The Mage King wasn't sure whether or not the bond that the green haired god had forged was done consciously or not, but a bond was certainly formed. And should Shirou find himself in danger, or the child threatened, or even upset, something terrible might awaken from it. The child no doubt felt Shirou more keenly than it did other humans, though it clearly was aware of those afflicted with Red Fever too. Whatever the case, tampering with the bond, Shirou, or the child, was a dangerous choice of action. "The last thing humanity needs is for this child to be turned into a political weapon. He will not be a 'child' forever, but just like the material that poured from the incision I made, his personality is likely a blank slate. Gods are like humans in many ways; we were, after all, shaped after them. The only difference between a god and a human is that humans possess souls, while gods possess divine cores."

The Mage King paused for a second, looking down on the infant in his arms. When the child arrived on the island he had no hairs; but yet now green strands began emerging from his head. He was clearly 'growing' at an accelerated rate, though Solomon wondered if that was even an applicable term for what was happening before his own eyes. It isn't growing, my King. It is shaping itself as time passes, evolving into its own role as a god. Soon it will develop a Divine Authority, if it already hasn't. Goetia's thoughts were aligned with Solomon's own.

"Travel to Tsumigakure. But do not reveal what we have discussed. This child's origins, as well as the true extent of his capabilities, should be kept hidden for the time being. Perhaps Merlin can travel with you, though he and I have some...unfinished business to discuss." Solomon grimaced slightly, dreading having to spend another moment with the Magus of Flowers. "I have seen this child cure humans with incredible ease. And while I cannot wield the same primordial powers that this child can, I can make use of Yin-Yang Release to form my own alternative cure now that I have seen what the child does...." Solomon focused his chakras in both his hands, igniting a pair of black and white flames similar to those in the Sunlit Forge; though in this case they were the powers of Yin and Yang working in tandem, unified in a common purpose to achieve some level of Creation that could compare to the power of Chaos. His work wouldn't have been possible had he not witnessed the child cure the affliction from the many who had come before him that day. Observing was all it would take; a single instance of seeing the child perform its miracles and its power could be replicated on a similar scale. It wasn't the power of Chaos, but something similar. A power from the other pillar of existence.

And just like that as the flames combined in Solomon's two palms, a small bottle was formed out of his imagination. A miraculous use of Six Paths Yin and Yang. And within that bottle was a small pool of blue fluids, no more than five millilitres. "Emiya Shirou, hide this well. Take it to the marketplace nearest Tsumigakure, Tsuchi Heihō. Take it to a medic there, his name is Iskandrous, you will know him by his small shop. It is...quite colorful. There he will mass produce this fluid, and we can distribute it across the world."

And while I cannot wield the same primordial powers that this child can, I can make use of Yin-Yang Release to form my own alternative cure now that I have seen what the child does...." Solomon focused his chakras in both his hands, igniting a pair of black and white flames similar to those in the Sunlit Forge; though in this case they were the powers of Yin and Yang working in tandem, unified in a common purpose to achieve some level of Creation that could compare to the power of Chaos. His work wouldn't have been possible had he not witnessed the child cure the affliction from the many who had come before him that day. Observing was all it would take; a single instance of seeing the child perform its miracles and its power could be replicated on a similar scale. It wasn't the power of Chaos, but something similar. A power from the other pillar of existence.

And just like that as the flames combined in Solomon's two palms, a small bottle was formed out of his imagination. A miraculous use of Six Paths Yin and Yang. And within that bottle was a small pool of blue fluids, no more than five millilitres. "Emiya Shirou, hide this well. Take it to the marketplace nearest Tsumigakure, Tsuchi Heihō. Take it to a medic there, his name is Iskandrous, you will know him by his small shop. It is...quite colorful. There he will mass produce this fluid, and we can distribute it across the world."
Plenty of revelations, yet none were quite so eye-opening as the fact that the Child had, whether intentional or not, forged some kind of bond with Emiya, designating him as the Child's personal caretaker. In hindsight, Emiya recalled that brief pain within his core back within the Hokubu. Was that the moment the Child bonded to him? Who could say really. For someone as powerful as Solomon, who could, upon simply seeing it firsthand once recreate something as miraculous as the Child's power, say as much, there wasn't any reason to question it. But as Solomon urged him to head to Tsumigakure, as he was already heading there, he obliged. Taking the Child back, as well as swiftly pocketing the phial, Emiya then began preparations for leaving the Water Archipelago, and towards the mainland. Before he did though, he did have a few choice words, for both Solomon and Merlin.

"Thank you Solomon, for everything. I can tell how hard you've been fighting for these people. I'll make sure that effort isn't a waste, I promise."

Taking a moment to focus on the scoundrel, Emiya then let out a tired sigh, and gave Merlin a smile, his guard dropping for the briefest moment, before immediately going back up as he left.

"You too, I guess."

Merlin beamed with a smile as Shirou went off in the direction of Tsumigakure, child and cure in hand. As he had stated earlier, it was safest for Shirou to travel with company, and the stakes were far too high to take the risk of him encountering unsavoury folks. Turning to the King of Magic, he keeps his words brief, but with a hint of his trademark playfulness. "I'll accompany Emiya-kun to his destination, and then we'll get on to our unfinished business." Winking when he mentioned the 'unfinished business', he traces Shirou's footsteps, going after him towards the marketplace in the Badlands of Earth.

Avon could feel her senses returning, becoming better than prior, it was really a miracle, no touch, no dosage, no therapy and just like that she felt whole, maybe more than whole, Was this the work of the child or something within the child, was this permanent or there was more to it, this questions ran through her minds, she turn her hands to run through her body for any odds, she was not the only one who felt this miracle, the crowd make relief sounds indicating their satisfaction in the turn of event, joy filled the air, caretakers help their now healed ones to confirm the healing.

"don't doubt it too much" the last bastion dweller spoke to Avon

"somethings are beyond our understanding"

Avon filled with questions decide yet to take the dweller's words seriously, she was going to take this win and not question it. Questioning has never ended well she reminded herself.
Upon receiving her healing, Avon turn touch her partner on the shoulder to see if he too was now in good condition, he was fully healed, looking brighter and better. Avon see now that this was no illusion, the child was really a miracle child, she wait for her partner to confirm his recovery before speaking...

i must leave you now, i believe this is where our journey come to an end, i must head out south alone, there is a tale waiting for me there...

Avon gives her partner a hug and a good bye before returning back to the ship.

Mission End
Menma felt overjoyed at the help he had received from Avon in getting him the help he needed desperately. A bond of friendship was the end result of the mysterious encounter they caused the two to meet not long ago. Menma stretched as he set off to find Hei and discuss what the plan from here on out was. It was time for the the new era to be ushered in.

"I'll see you soon! Until we meet again, I'm a call away!"

-To be Continued-

Coming from [x]

Docking at the port city, Merlin disembarked with Lena and Mirabelle following closely. Immediately, his eyes scanned the town for Solomon. Unsure as to whether he still remained here since their last meeting, Merlin activated his sensory when he couldn't find the King of Magic. Unable to detect his chakra signature, he concluded that Solomon had since left the island. His expression creasing in mild frustration, the Magus of Flowers grew increasingly desperate. Time was running out.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15 (- 5 per turn)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a very advanced of advancing the ability to feel and sense chakra. The technique allows the user to concentrate and detect someone's chakra. Users can use this to determine the nature of a jutsu used as well as sense masses of chakra. The use of this can be compared to Sharingan's brutish level of sensory, able to sense collection of chakra but not the level of clarity and precision Byakugan has.
Note: Can only be used by bios with Sensory ability.
Note: After having on a bio for 1 month, users gain the ability to activate Sensory passively.

Merlin continued to search the port for any signs of Solomon's presence, or clues as to where he may have gone. With none presenting themselves, the Magus was beginning to grow frantic, doubling back on his path numerous times. Returning to where he'd docked his boat, Merlin pondered on the next course of action. He couldn't think of a next step that could reliably lead him any closer to Solomon, until his eyes fell upon a young girl and their mother. Individuals whom Merlin recognised, ones that were present at the dock when he and Solomon met. Making his way over to them, he tried to keep himself composed, so as to resolve the matter quickly and move on with haste "H-hello. I do hate to be abrupt, bu-"

"Why, hello. You're the man who was with the doctor from the other day, right?" the mother asked, interrupting the mildly distressed Merlin. Trying not to appear without manners, Merlin strained to put on a smile "A-ahaha! Yes, it is me. I was actually wondering if you'd seen that guy around lately? I'm trying to meet up with him, but he's quite hard to reach." The woman cupped her chin with her hand, trying to remember where and when she'd last seen the King of Magic. Obviously, she had no knowledge of his true identity, so it was useless for him to mention it. Painful moments of silence passed as Merlin hoped beyond hope that she would be able to give some clue as to his whereabouts. "Last I saw him, he was boarding a boat and sailing south. As for where exactly he was headed... I couldn't say. I'm sorry." That information was better than nothing, and Merlin's smile became genuine. "No no, don't apologise. Thank you very much miss."

Bowing his head to the woman curtly, he returns to the dock where Mirabelle and Lena are waiting. Gesturing for them to come onto a boat with him, they set forth on the final leg of their journey. Where they disembark would largely be a shot in the dark, but Merlin had no other choice.
