Shelby looked at the watch and clapped her hands. “Team we shall hand out the roles now, the occupations and abilities these set of newbies have is quite diverse. We have a person who practices professional archery, a cook, a training instructor, some students and regular business men.”

“The archer would definitely help us later on; enchanted arrows are diversely more powerful than enchanted bullets. However, their firing speed would be low in comparison to a bullet.” Arielle said. “As we move further and further into the late stages we shall see more enemy’s immune to bullets yet not immune to arrows. “

“This is precisely why we don’t have guns in this team, we always go for techniques and enhancements” Shelby reinforced.

“We can utilize the training instructor, however the businessmen and students do have their potentials.” Tyler spoke up.

“What about the cook?” Jesse asked and we all turned to her. “A cook doesn’t really have much prowess in a world of death” Tyler brought up and people around agreed.

“We can’t put value on someone’s life just because they are a simple cook” Arielle argued and Cody shushed her.

“We can take all of them, it is not a team mission so we do not have to worry about them dying on us.” Shelby said.

At this point the group breaks up and confronts the newbies. “Okay so the mission on your wrist watches says to Complete the painting. We know that there are seven pieces to the painting therefore we have to be cautious on how we go about this. “Shelby announced and the group of newbies who were also discussing amongst themselves they turned to confront the team. “We choose not to believe you, we shall excuse ourselves from this ordeal and be on our way”

A large amount of people left with only about three people left. Shelby looked at the trio and spoke: “Zoe, Jackson and Steeve you wish to stay with us?” they all nodded their heads and she threw out a bow from her special storage. “It is called Swiftwind, a good friend of mine used it while he was still alive”

Zoe was dumbfounded by the sudden bow that appeared before her but she plucked the string and she bowed to Shelby. “I will put it to the utmost use”. Two rings also dropped before her “Arrows, just will for one to appear and it will appear, one has enchanted arrows the other is regular arrows.”

A sword and spear was distributed to Jackson and Steeve and Shelby gave the order to find the painting room. The group searched for the room and finally found it. “Arielle, Cody stay here and establish a perimeter, This will the safe haven of the team, a 16-man mission is without it’s trials, The two spirits will be distraught and will attempt to stop those who complete the painting” Shelby said and the duo started to work.

“Zoe you will be with Tyler and Jackson. Steeve will be with Terry and Jesse” Shelby ordered and everyone said their support.

Terry was nervous about the events that might transpire in the mansion. He looked toward Mimi who gave him a nervous smile and Terry felt calmer. “Shelby….. What can I do to assist?” Mimi asked and Shelby turned to look at her. Shelby considered the roles and she finally spoke. “Keep the perimeter checked, We will have three immobile people here so you are entrusted in guarding us”. Mimi nodded and took a dagger into her hands. Runes shone brightly before dimming again. “Alright, the two groups will disperse, we shall keep you updated if we find anything” Shelby said and she closed her eyes. Two glowing purple butterflies materialized and flew into the corridor. At the same time runes lit up around the room and a protective barrier encased the room.

Tyler took off with Jackson and Zoe following behind. Steeve went another way with Jesse and Terry following close behind.
