Terrified Mario (Chp 3 Pt 1)

On the Divinus Magia island...

(Brandon's POV)

Currently, I am in mine and my brother's office getting some paperwork done and paying the bills for Daveed stripping in public. As I was doing my work, I heard the door open and a familiar sense of magic walked in the room. As I already knew who it was, I didn't have to look up to see that it was Ritchie.

"Hello Brother," I said to him as I continued my paperwork.

"Hey, Brandon. Any clues on the portal that appeared?" He asked me. I sighed and shook my head "No."

He sighed and sat down on his chair behind his desk.

"It has been reasonably quiet without Mario here. He and Daveed are usually at each other's throats so, it's quite weird. Would you agree?" Ritchie says as he looked out the window behind us.

"Yeah. Now that you mention it, it has been quiet without all the fighting and yelling coming from the two." 

'It has been REALLY quiet. We haven't had one bill for Daveed's stripping and I haven't seen him with his shirt off. He's also been quite on concerned and worried towards Mario. More than anyone else.'

"I have noticed that Daveed has been off since the moment that he was taken. We haven't had one bill for Daveed's strip incidents, let alone he hasn't stripped once. He's really acting off for someone who fights and argues with nearly everyone in the guild. What do you think it is?" I say what was on my mind.

I look over to Ritchie and I see that he has a sad look on his face. Now I was confused so I raised an eyebrow and said "Brother? Is there a reason you have that look on your face?" I questioned him.

He looks at me and smiles slightly. "I don't think it's my place to say." I was going to question him but my phone went off (A/N I don't know whether they have phones or magic-powered things. I decided to add phones :). I grabbed it and answered.

(Normal = Brandon, Italics = Michael)

"Hello, this is Brandon speaking?"

"Hello, Brandon."

"Hello Michael, why are you calling me today?"

"I have called to inform you that a portal appeared in the middle of our guild hall."

I widened my eyes a little to that statement and Ritchie looked at me confused. "Really?"

"Yes. We were inspecting it when someone shot out."

I raised my eyebrow. 'Could it be Mario?'

"Did you recognise them?"

"Yep. They seem to be a Cavern Dragon Slayer from your guild who goes by the name of Mario." 

I was quick to stand up, which started Ritchie a bit.

"Really?! Well, would you like us to send someone over to collect him?"

"Actually I would prefer is both you and Ritchie come. I need to speak with both of you about Mario."

"Ok? Shall we meet you in your office or the guildhall?"

"Neither, meet me in the Infirmary."

"Why the infirmary?" I questioned Michael as Ritchie looked at me puzzled to what Michael was saying.

"Ummm... because that's where Mario is now. Plus I need to show you something too.

"Ok, goodbye Michael."
