A Day In Violet

"I heard your brother had a bit of trouble in Oleander. Is everything okay?" Lancelot asked.

Fable let out a soft grunt. "Yes. My older brother has apparently started a new team in Oleander. I haven't checked up on him in a while, though."

"Why not?" Street Magician asked. "Family is important. Almost as important as magic!" The man winked and played with a deck of cards, casually shuffling it. "Pick a card!"

"Let Fable do what he wants." War God began to mess with her armor, making sure it was on tightly for the mission. "He has enough things to focus on leading us."

Lancelot nodded. "War God is right. Focus on the mission at hand, Street Magician. This one is a big one. Feast asked us to clear up some space for him."

"Feast?" Street Magician frowned slightly. "Who's he?"

"One of the few heroes from fifteen years ago that survived the battle with the Emperor." War God sighed. "He used to be a big deal back in the day, but he got injured and can't be a hero anymore. Now he just runs the many different Feast Shacks in the city, and he wants our help with getting one built in Violet."

"Seriously?" Street Magician let out a soft snort. "We're doing all of this because of a burger joint?"

"Well, it's not the only reason." Lancelot trailed off and shot an awkward look toward Fable. "Fable's dad used to work alongside Feast..."

"Oh..." Street Magician suddenly felt very awkward in that moment. "I see. My bad then."

Fable ignored the rest of his team and quietly stared out the window of the carriage they rode in. Team Fairy Tale had gotten the call from Feast about an hour ago, and he had agreed to help the old hero. That was why they were now setting out to their destination, riding through Violet City.

Many of the great cities had been crafted by the late Mr. Sini and then expanded upon by Avalon or Boy Genius. Violet City, however, was independent. It didn't have a Hero Branch because it wasn't actually a city. Violet was more or less a cluster of villages that were all scattered about throughout the land. They worked alongside the Hero Branch and would have heroes placed in them to offer protection, but the City itself was mostly isolated and alone, all the different villages having been built on an island.

It was very old-fashioned looking, lacking technology or advancements you'd find in other places. It did have some stuff, things like phones, and a few cars, and proper heating, but most of the houses were made out of wood, straw, or bricks. They were all small and scattered across the land. Vast farms stretched on for miles, and the people of Violet all wore gowns or suits. Its soldiers walked around in old-looking knight armor, though they did carry guns. It was almost a weird mix of modern and medieval blended together.

So much time had passed that it was no longer known why Violet was like this and why it was mostly against technology. It was just an accepted fact that Violet was a small little island with dozens of villages scattered across it. The closest thing they had to anyone being in charge was near the edge of the island, where a large stone castle resided, which was where Fable and his team, Fairy Tale, stayed, as well as where the Violet Sub Enforcers would reside.

Fable had a windowed seat in the carriage they were in. It was a large wooden carriage that had all of team Fairy Tale inside of it. Instead of horses pulling the carriage, a robotic suit shaped sort of like a centaur was attached at the front, which ran forward and dragged the carriage behind it. This robotic horse was named Cyber Horse. He was a strong member of Violet's Sub Enforcers. Riding on Cyber Horse's back was a man in knight armor who carried a shield and a lance. He was Medium Iron, one of the newer members of Violet's Sub Enforcers.
