A chill bites your skin, promising the change of seasons as Umbraveil takes hold.  Above stars glitter down at you coldly, a bright full moon illuminating the leaves you step over as you trek along the path. Whatever task you're bound to do under the cover of eve, you hope to finish it quickly.

Snap!

Your head whips at the sound of something breaking? Snapping? You're unsure, but it wasn't that far from you. Ceasing your stride to a halt, you stand still in an attempt to locate whatever it was. The creeping feeling of being watched prickles down your spine, sending shivers through every nerve. A flash of movement in the corner of your eye makes you swivel again, trying to find the source. 

"Are you sure? No...I-I don't want to upset them! Are you sure? Positive?" Drifting over the cool air is a voice, soft and distant. They sound...Frightened? Nothing answers their question, which only adds to your own confusion. 

Stomping full speed towards the voice, you round a corner to confront them as the voice grows louder. Your jaw hangs open when you see...Nothing. No one. That isn't possible, you heard the voice! Clear as day. No no, nope. Not today, not tonight. You decide it's not worth the trouble, not worth the anxiety. You're going to finish what you set out to do and go straight home. Whoever is playing games will be the one to lose tonight, because you're not playing.

"W-Wait! Ahem!" That voice comes again, but louder now. In fact, it's behind you as you walk. 

Turning to face them as quickly as you can, you're now face to face with a spectral figure. An Arcanai certainly, but...ghastly. Their eyes shimmer and are wispy, yet somehow portray worry. Their body hovers above the ground, a tail made of bone twitching nervously as they tuck their paws into their chest. Beside them is a very confident...Ghost? No, that can't be right. Those aren't even real, right? Well this one is pretty real and looks pretty annoyed with their companion who cowers at the sight of you. 

"U-Um, hi! I'm sorry I..." The Arcanai pauses, clearly speaking to the ghost beside them yet not uttering a sound. 

"I have to ask something of you. I... I'm a Soulguide! Erm... You know, the job who guides souls to safety and to aid in the crossing back into the Magistream? I- Wait! Please. I really, really need your help." You raise your brow expectantly, hesitating when you hear the plea in their voice. They are indeed desperate. 

"My name is Morti and this is my friend, Bo. Like I just said, I'm a Soulguide. We find wandering, lost souls around Etherios. The problem is the influx in souls this year is...too much. We can't keep up, and there's not enough help within the Soulguide guild to begin with. We're asking around to see if anyone may want to assist. N-No I know, it sounds insane. Really, I understand. No, you don't need Death magik or Soul magik. You just need to be a little brave and not break this soulcage."

Out of thin air, Morti summons a small silver cage. It's ornate in nature and empty, a small blue gem embedded in the top near the handle. 

"This is specfically designed to track and cage souls. When you touch it, it will illuminate souls in the area around you. Some places will have lots, others will have none, but any help is needed. Some might run but, others are attracted to the cage and will waltz right in. When you've successfully captured one, the gem here will illuminate. You can hold multiple souls within the cage surprisingly, some just get more angry with the more souls you add..."

Morti's voice drifts, pinning you with a pleading stare.

"Please?"

Quest Objective:

How do you react to meeting Morti and his companion, Bo? Draw or write about the experience.

For better or worse, you've made your choice to help the distressed Soulguide named Morti and his hesitant companion Bo. You have zero idea what soul hunting entails, nor how you're going to be able to be of any use, but it was pretty hard to say no to the puppy eyes.

"So!" Suddenly much more chipper, Morti's voice breaks you from any wandering doubts you have. "My soulhunting companion, don't you fret! I have everything you need to know and everything you need to succeed on this adventure. It all starts with this!"

Out of thin air, a strange cage lantern thing materializes in front of your very eyes. Its no bigger than your forearm, made of enchanted silver and humming with quiet magik.

"Judging by your expression you've never seen one of these, but that's okay! This is a Soulguide's best tool. Sure, I can see wandering souls already with my vision but you cannot. That's where this Soulcage comes into play."

Floating from your side, Morti scooped up the soulcage between his teeth. The very moment the Soulguide made contact with the device, it roared to life in blue flame. Magik made your spine tingle, stomach twisting with a strange sense of dread as Morti stretched it out towards you. 

"When you hold it, it will illuminate the area around you with a field of Death Magik that reveals the souls of the passed that are still here. A bit macabre, but, it works wonders in helping us. It lets Arcanai without such eyes to see as we do. You might not see them at first and honestly, you may not see them at all. There are hotspots of souls scattered about closer to towns and cities, but on the outskirts and in the wilds they are more sparse. You'll find more souls of fauna than Arcanai. Don't look so pale! Here, take it!"

Morti practically shoves the glowing object into your paws, excitement written all over his face. He was right, the second you touched the metal object, power surged. It made your scales crawl with chills, butterflies invading your stomach. Should you really be doing this?

"Now, souls have personalities too! They retain that from their living life. Some are kind, just trying to figure out whats going on. Some don't even know they've passed. Others are lazy, stubborn...Ah, and aggressive. They may try to flee or even fight you. You've got magik, right? Good. Souls aren't as powerful as they once were, but that doesn't mean they can't still give you a run for your shards. Hm..."

Twirling in the night air, Morti tapped his claw on his chin, contemplating.

"Right, you can't just scoop up the soul in your claws and shove them in the cage. Ideally you just coax them into the field of magik that surrounds it. Once the soul makes contact with it, it is bound. If you have the throw the thing, do it. It won't break that  easily. So long story short, get close enough to the souls to force them into the magik field from the cage and bam! You got it. Ah! And, multiple souls can fit inside of it. They just may bicker."

Its a lot of information at once, but you think you may have the general concept down. You give Morti a nod who smiles in return, small skeletal tail wagging. 

"Bo will stay with you. If you need help, he will summon me at once. Good luck, adventurer. Return to me when you have a soul or two!"

Bo looks less than happy to be stuck with you, but the companion floats lazily to your right while staring ahead. Grasping the handle of your cage tight, you begin to walk.

Let the hunt begin.

Quest Objective:

Draw or write about your Arcanai's hunt for souls! Where do they go? What do they see? Do they catch more than one or struggle with a single stubborn soul? What does the soul look like?
