Main Story [Kingslayer Arc]

[The Suspicious Eye]

Nora Fulleat


Wandering, broke, and hopeless...probably going to die.... probably.

​

Covered in scratches, Nora walked down the street unamused by the beauty around her. She hadn't noticed her surroudings as was too focused on her gloves to care. Fiddling with the fabric her brow furrowed in worry. That last adventure really did a number on my gloves. She picked at the burnt flecks of fabric and sighed. I knew it was a bad idea to stick my hand into that fire for a map, magic absorbing gloves don't keep normal fire from burning them. I need to get them fixed before they deteriorate.





She groaned but I don't have any money. I guess it is my own fault for spending the last of it at that candy store. But how was I supposed to know that the ship I blew up had my stolen money pouch. She pictured her earnings sitting on the ocean floor and gave a even bigger sigh, that was interrupted by her growling stomach. She opened her bag and pulled out a large lollipop and popped it into her mouth. Well at least I won't go hungry.


Finally drifting out of her own world she looked up at the beautiful town she was in. "Oh wow, everything is so shiny and pretty!" She smiled and looked around, never keeping her eyes in one place. Thus place is so pretty, I want to look at it all. Smiling she strolled down the streets until she came across a rowdy group. She stopped and stared at the crowd curious as to what was going on. "Is there a parade or festival?" She stepped closer to listen in, only to catch her foot on a stone and fell flat on her face. "Ow...." She raised her head and sat back on the ground rubbing her nose. "Ow... that hurt a lot." She sniffed to make sure nothing was broken and rubbed her face trying to get the dirt off.

Kalin Ikiryo

​

Kalin groaned as he turned the same corner he had passed all too many times in the past half an hour. It seemed that the bigger a town was, the harder it was for the young mage to maintain a good sense of direction.





"Geez, if I don't find this place soon, I may as well give up on this mission. Wait, but then I'd still owe that girl at the Nomad for all of the free food...no, Im not giving up on this yet! There's got to be someone here who knows where they're going. I just have to find them!"


With a renewed sense of determination, Kalin marched on, ignoring the dozens of people who may have lived in town, or at least might know where his destination lie. When he came across a crowd in the streets, Kalin broke into a sprint as he hoped to catch someone and ask for directions. As he came closer, he noticed someone had fallen. Being in a hurry, and with everyone else that was near her already, Kalin jumped into the air, leaping over her and landing amonst the crowd...


At least, that's what he intended to do. However, Kalin ended up jumping far earlier than he should have, landing just before the girl, where he subsequently tripped on a stone and fell on top of her. "Oof!" He said, rolling onto his side unharmed. "Well, that could have been much worse." Kalin said, laughing quietly to himself as he sat up, and started to dust himself off.

Nora Fulleat

Broke, squished and undoubtedly unlucky.

​

"Gahhhh!"


Just as she thought she was safe her luck seems to have proven her wrong yet again. Out of nowhere some guy fell on top of her and nearly crushed her. She coughed and looked at the guy, "S-s-says you! I could have died!!" Her face was bright red. Although it is indistinguishable if it is caused by the multiple face plants or her awkward nature around people. Staggering to her feet she dusted off her clothes and sighed. Looking at her gloves she could see the fray grow wider, the sooner she got these repaired the better. The last thing I need is to let my powers loose.





Picking up her bag she slung it over her shoulder and turned to him. She pulled out the lollipop (which luckily didn't kill her in the fall) and looked at him. Then she looked up. The guy towered over her. She paled, OH MY GOD HE'S A GIANT!! She began to tremble nervously, like a opossum in front of a bear. Fairy dust began to shake from her body and float around her. "Y-y-y-y-you....."


Before she could say another word the dust began to tickle her nose. "Ah..." She felt her eyes begin to water. "Ahhh..." In the last moments all she could think was, oh no not t-t-t-t-this.

"Achooooooo!!!!!!"
​

BOOM!

The fairy dust combusted creating a large explosion around the two of them.

"Achoooo!! Achoooo!!"​

BOOM! BOOM!

Two more explosions before Nora finally covered her nose and coughed. Why! Why does this always happen! As the dust finally began to clear she peaked out with one eye. "I-I-I.....am soo sorry..."

Tommy O'Shay

​

Russel may have been trying to play the greeting off as cool and collected, but Tommy had heard the whole thing. A small smile, paired with the furrowed brow of parental worry, greeted the young Mage.


"It, uh, it didn't really go according to pla- look, Russel, right? That looked like a really hard landing. You probably ought to see a doctor about that." He'd had to effectively be a single parent for so long, the mothering part of him took over, and he crouched down to Russel's eye level. "That was quite the fall, kid. You sure you're okay?"


@Violet Obsidian

Adrianne Harrow

​

She'd sprang to her feet involuntarily when Olive had yanked away her arm. Her Seer magic had activated with a clarity she had never felt before, and though she was puzzled at first, things rapidly became clear.


Psychometry. A.M.B.E.R. Talia. Murder.


The poor girl's childhood, or more specifically her association with the shadowy organization of Rune Knights, flashed into Adrianne's mind. Most disturbing though was the information on what exactly the Knights wanted the Psychometric for. Digging into her jacket pocket, the Seer gripped her crystal ball, seeking the focus it gave her magic.


"Anyway, I think you already know my name and I believe yours is Adrianne?"


The Raven Tail Mage shook herself, bringing her back to the world. None of what she'd just learned was common knowledge. And it should certainly stay that way. Instead of asking about it, Adrianne smiled and nodded.


"Yep. I'm the Edge Runner outta Raven Tail. And you're Blue Pegasus' Procurer of Secrets. Glad you're okay, and sorry about the, uh..."


Grimacing in apology, she touched her elbow, indicating the episode.


"Any idea of what's going on?"

[LavenderRain]

Russel Lefton

Russel chuckled at Tommy’s concern while his hand when to his neck, feeling the contours of it just to confirm that nothing felt extremely out of place. Waving a hand, Russel replied, “Well, it hurt a little, but not anymore. I fall all the time. Nothing to worry about…”


Russel’s eyes flickered to Jacob, Dusty, Olive and even Heather as he gestured to each of them before continuing, “Even my own guildmates aren’t concerned. I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal. Loads of people fall all the time, right?” He glanced down at his shiny white shoes. “And I just need to learn how to use these things right. Once I figure that out, everything’ll be spiffy!”


By now, Russel had completely forgotten about his initial question to Tommy, his eyes taking in the sights of all the newcomers as he considered taking to the air one more time although he didn’t want more people concerned about him like Tommy seemed to be. That alone led him to decide against it for the time being as he tried to figure out what else there would be to do. Turning to Tommy, he smiled and said, “Well, I’ve got more people to greet! Everyone’s here and this is my guild and they gotta know that so, I’ll see ya around!”


And it was so that Russel Lefton wandered into the crowds wondering who he would run into next.

[Lady Warlock]

Wyatt Verlock

From what he could gather, the basement of the guild hall was not nearly as fabulous as the upper levels and yet it was very much a place he preferred to be. Flicking his goggles down over his head, Wyatt looked up as his vision pierced through the ceiling and allowed him to see the gathering ensuing above him. Scanning through a couple of the faces that were available, he registered them in archive as he slowly but surely began building a database of people. Having everything available in a computer, sorted and labeled, made everything that much easier for him.


“Guess I’m missing the party…” he mumbled to himself although he quite honestly didn’t care. He was glad to be down where he was, just him and his archive, as he scrolled through lists upon lists within his own mind.


Turning his attention away from the group above him, a ceiling between him and them, Wyatt meandered across the cement floor of the basement of the guild hall, weaving his way through the supports as he began humming something that didn’t match any known tune. No one could hear him. No one would care.

 

[ACHA]

Ein Silverhand

​

Ein was still wearing his guild's signature hood and cloak over his white long coat. It wouldn't be a surprise if anyone was to recognize him.


Out of the blue, someone new was clearly approaching him. Blonde, red eyes, and a pretty face. Ein started browsing the vast network of information in his head to check whether he has at least heard of this person.


Ein's special sense for people would tell him that this woman had a peculiar air of strength around her. She was no push-over. Ein was getting curious. There weren't that many people that fitted that description. His search was getting narrower as he started picturing the faces of different women that might fit that category. "No, no, no." he thought to himself.


After a quick moment of thinking, another person caught his attention. It was an old ally. "Alicia?" he thought to himself as she passed by, nodding at him in recognition. Ein promptly replied with a nod of his own. "Quite the worry-wart, busy-bee as usual." he said before his thoughts trailed back to the woman who was now in front of her.


Ein still had no clue who this was, which vexed him. He got a closer look as she got nearer and introduced herself kindly. By that time, he gave up.


"Ryan is it?" he asked before quickly introducing himself too. "My name is Silverhand. Ein Silverhand from Crime Sorciere."


Ein was silent for another moment. He thoughts were going wild again as he was trying to analyze the person in front of him.


"Ryan, sounds familiar. Bit new. Understatement. She didn't recognize our guild's cloaks, or our guild for that matter. This implies she's new to this land. Not surprised. New to this place but doesn't know a lot of people. Ah, Silver Phoenix. Relatively new guild. Doesn't hesitate to approach someone new. Friendly. Outgoing. Energetic yet her eyes implies she doesn't sleep alot. Insomniac. Or probably just nocturnal. Fidgety. She must be anxious. Impatient. Relaxed posture despite that. Hmm. Confidence? No. Cockiness." Ein thought in rapid-fire succession. He had to stop himself after remembering that the person did just ask him a question.


"Oh, right." he snapped back to their blooming conversation. "Me? I'm not lost. I just have this penchant for observing other people." he answered her. As for her other query, Ein also had a reply. "I'm particularly well-informed regarding that. If there's a specific person you're curious about, just point. I'll say what I know. So Ryan, was there anyone you wanted to know about?"

[Ivory Witch]

Angel Litwick

No one would precisely see her walk into the guild hall. She made her entrance too quickly for anyone to see it, her high speed magic practically gliding her across the ground and into the grandest of the guild halls and one of the ones she had never been in before. The figure stopped, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed in front of her. If anyone saw her there, they would have no idea how she got there; it would be as though she had randomly appeared after not being there only a second before.


Her eyes took in the sights in front of her as she analyzed the various situations that had begun to develop. A few things stood out.


First, Angel picked out the faces she knew within the crowd. Her eyes fell upon Isanna Calwyn. The Ice Dragon Slayer was becoming a popular person to encounter among Angel’s various travels and her nose scrunched slightly at the sight of the quiet girl. In all honesty, Angel hoped that she would encounter people more interesting than the girl who was all too quiet and all too easy to annoy. It took away some of the fun of things. Her eyes also picked out the Novine siblings although she passed over them quickly, not remembering too much of interest regarding the two sabertooth mages. The last familiar face was that of a boy. Russel Lefton was his name and his presence very much concerned Angel. She knew that the boy - or maybe it was just a child’s curiosity in general - would mess with her ability to make decisions and she didn’t like it.


Another thing that stood out was the overall friendliness of everyone she could see. Sure, the Marcella girl was screaming, but Angel didn’t exactly label that unfriendly; it was just a sign of impatience. And Angel didn’t like this fact; when everyone was nice, things weren’t nearly as fun to watch. Well, time to have some fun!


Angel took off at her speed once more as she weaved her way through the various groups of people that had formed within the guild hall. While people she ran past would feel the breeze that came with her speed, they would not see the clear outline of a person. And if she did happen to touch their shoulder on her run through the hall, they would feel it, although it wouldn’t register as a hand; it would feel as though a leave had grazed the top of their shoulder. What made things interesting was that every time she touched someone’s shoulder, she implanted a thought into their mind.


Isanna came first. She was certainly the easiest and there wasn’t much mischief planned as Angel allowed her palm to briefly tap the girl as she ran by. I’m baaaack… was the simple thought she left with the Ice Dragon Slayer. Fairly certain that Isanna would know it was her, Angel merely continued running, not stopping to watch for any reaction.


The second stop was a bigger group consisting of a bunch of people Angel didn’t know the names of although she didn’t really care. She was going to create a show and then watch it unfold. Angel was certain that if nothing else, she would get some laughs out of it.


First, Angel’s hand grazed Jess’s shoulder as she sent in the thought. It was a simple one, really. It was just a mere suggestion. Do you really think she likes your outfit? The thought would come with the slightest hint of doubt.


Then her hand reached up to touch the shoulder of Melina as she came up with another thought, another hint of doubt. Why hasn’t she responded yet? It must be that she doesn’t like your outfit… How rude, right!? Angel smirked before she was gone just like that.


All of her contacts occurred over a matter of seconds and she stopped, leaning against a wall not too far out of the corner that was inhabited by Ryannan and Ein although again, Angel didn’t know names to go with their faces. “If you guys are looking for something interesting, just watch,” Angel commented to them as she picked them to be observers more than actors. There was no reason to not let them get a glimpse of her show.

Kalin Ikiryo



​

Kalin cocked his head as the girl cried out her disapproval. "O-oh yeah, sorry..." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. As he looked down towards her, unaware of her nervous expression, Kalin wondered if he should do something to make up for this little incident, when he remembered that he still needed directions! Clapping his hands together, he crouched slightly and smiled.





"Hey, you wouldn't happen to kno-"

"Achooooooo!!!!!!"


BOOM!

​

Kalin put a hand in front of him as he felt the first few waves of beat and in an instant, his body grew warmer as the explosions became nothing more than three bursts of dust, dirt, and air. The fire mage coughed for a while, before brushing off his face and laughing as the girl gave him am apology of her own.


"It's fine. I think we're probably even, now. So, do you think you could help me find a place here? They're supposed to be a pretty big guild, but I kind of...forgot the name."

[Illusionus]

Aden Bourne

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" A young man yells as he sprints down an otherwise calm and peaceful street. This young wizard, Aden Bourne, had just joined the Silver Phoenix guild right before its guild master and representatives were called to te Blue Pegasus guild. Although he didn't know why he was one of the representatives instead of a higher ranked wizard, but he isn't going to argue with this privilege. He was just hoping that being late to the meeting wouldn't affect his chances of being part of something like this again later on. Being in such a hurry, he nearly ran straight past the guild hall.


Aden barges into the guild hall to see so many different wizards from various guilds, all likely to be higher ranked than him. It would prove to be a bit intimidating, but he was sure that it wouldn't matter too much. He looks around for a bit and finds his guild master and nervously approaches him. "I'm so sorry for being late Guildmaster A'den. I got caught up with something and lost track of the time." Aden leaves his explination for being late vague because he did not want his guildmaster to now he had lost track of time while slacking off and swimming.

[Hellkite]

"Excuse me, Miss, my name's Jamke. I'm not late for the meeting, am I?"


Alicia glanced at the man, giving him a small smile.





"No, not at all. I think it'll be starting soon though."





She threw a sidelong glance down the street, her eyes narrowing slightly at a group of figures in the distance, approaching slowly. Her shoulders tensed slightly, eyes narrowing. Then she glanced back to Jamke.





"We should probably go inside." She said. Although..."





Alicia extended her hand again, causing the wall of enchantments which surrounded the building to flare into life again. She mentally checked the rules, her eyes flicking between the barrier and the distant figures drawing towards the guildhall. She made one amendment, then dropped her hand to allow the barrier to vanish again.





"Sorry," Alicia explained to Jamke as she stepped back into the now crowded guildhall. "I'm pretty much the de-facto head of security for this meeting. Had to make some changes to my barriers to allow for some people I hadn't expected."





She paused just inside the doorway, standing slightly to one side. She breathed a heavy sigh.





"So: where are you from?" She asked the man. "Enjoying Los Ichiyasco?"

[Hales]

Light Ethereal

Light’s eyes scanned up at the Blue Pegasus guild hall as he walked up to it. He had never been there before and he didn’t quite know why this guild hall had been picked among all of them as a good meeting place for all of the mages of Fiore. Sure, the town was beautiful, but he had always been able to appreciate the tranquility of Margret Town much better. That being said, Light wasn’t about to complain about it; he didn’t really need to get any awkward glares about his preferences or the like.


He wasn’t surprised by the break in the door; he actually had several ideas on who could’ve caused such a break and some of his own guildmates were on top of the list. Light chuckled slightly at the memory of it before he glanced behind him to see if Soren was still following. He would never be surprised by Soren’s appearance or disappearance on any sort of journey, though. The teleporter always seemed to have his own set of things to do.


“He’ll be back,” Light mumbled to himself as he walked into the guild hall, catching sight of someone who looked rather familiar just on the inside of the entryway. “Hello there, Ms. Alicia!” he greeted.


Light also noted Jamke nearby and he nodded to his own guildmate as well. “Jamke,” he greeted.


Then he turned to look at the ensuing events. Nothing too chaotic seemed to have begun although he was fairly certain that something would go wrong sooner or later. You couldn’t have this many mages in one place without having something or other go wrong. “So…” Light mumbled, hoping one of the two mages he had addressed was open to conversation. “Who do you think’s gonna throw the first punch?” If his tone wasn’t obvious, the following chuckle ensured that they knew he was joking… sort of.

[Solarknight]

Aubrey Lorrisk


Aubrey had skipped her way to the Blue Pegasus guild hall, unsure as to how many other Fairy Tail mages would actually show up. Briefly, she considered that she actually did know a Blue Pegasus mage - they had met on a mission a while ago - but she didn’t let it dwell on her mind for long. If she saw her, she saw her and if she didn’t, then she didn’t. Life had overall been going too well for her to worry about it too much.


Instead, Aubrey’s mind dwelled on what the meeting would be for. There hadn’t been any major chaos so far as she was aware. Then again, Aubrey, you aren’t exactly the best at paying attention, her subconscious corrected her within a moment of the thought, so it’s quite possible that the world is falling apart piece by piece and you just don’t know it. Aubrey shrugged at the thought, realizing that it was very much the truth.


Nonetheless, it did nothing to change her cheerful disposition as she walked into the Blue Pegasus guild hall, paying no mind to the fact that the door was completely busted. Although there were plenty of places for her to sit down, upon seeing all the people, Aubrey realized that sitting down really sounded awful. The mere presence of all these mages energized her own persona.


As she walked in further, she found herself standing next to a man and a child; it was quite an odd combination. It seemed rude just to stand next to him and not say anything, so Aubrey found herself humming for a moment as she tried to think of something interesting to say. “Mmmmm…. Hi!” she exclaimed, a bit more jubilantly than she had intended. “Do you think this building has smoke alarms? I could make something really cool lookin’ if it didn’t…”

Arrival


Rose shivered despite several shirts and a jacket. She wished she could get back on the train with it’s nice warm heater, rather than being outside. She just couldn’t find a way to get warm when she was outside, having been used to the desert weather of the facility for so long. Although she didn’t mind being covered up by all the clothes. She didn’t like the way people looked at her when they saw what was under them. She scratched nervously at the bandages around her left hand. A habit she had formed only recently, since joining the guild within the last couple weeks.


The last couple weeks had been the best she could remember, quite literally. She had no memory of before the facility. And the best of memories there were simply trying to pretend it wasn’t awful with the other girls in her test group. But recently she had food and water whenever she needed it. Clean clothes and warm blankets and a bed that didn’t hurt. The people around her seemed genuinely happy to have her there, even giving her a name. Rose. She liked saying it out loud when she was alone sometimes.


She turned to two of her guildmates, the newest recruits compared to her. While Rose didn’t actually know how old she was, they guessed she was between eighteen and twenty-two. Which would make her somewhere around Tori’s age. Bunny was a lot younger than them though, only being thirteen. They both seemed nice enough, but something about them unsettled Rose a little. Although she honestly felt that about everyone recently so maybe it’s just her. Sometimes she has difficulty believing she isn’t just back in the facility dreaming all this up. But even if that’s true, for now she is going to go along with it.


“So… do either of you know why all the mages are being called here?”, she asked a bit quietly. She was really quite curious, as everyone said this was out of the ordinary even by Fioren standards.


Bunny turned her head slightly to face the girl next to her. The one who was the newest member of Mermaid Heel. Even though their membership was longer, it felt as if they had arrived at nearly the same time. To that Bunny exclaimed “Our welcoming party of course!” As she threw her hands up in a celebratory fashion and imagined confetti falling from the sky. Her eyes kind of sparkled as if she wasn’t actually there; as if her own world was secured, standing in between the two more mature girls. As her hands wiggled beneath the long sleeves, Bunny’s visual effect of confetti for the others was dimmed and they just kind of watched her, possibly worried and maybe a tad bit confused.


Ohtori on the other hand greeted the question with a more accurate answer while eyeing the craziness of her little sister. “Honestly, I don’t know. The guild master just informed us that everyone was to attend.” So she just kind of shrugged as she stared at Rose. The thought of how Rose seemed a little on the crazy side had run through her head, purely based on appearances but then continuing to analyze her sisters obnoxious antics while beside them both, that thought quickly passed. Tori couldn’t help but laugh a little.


Checking which direction they needed to go on a local map, the chime of the train could be heard as its notice for final departure rang out. This was it, no turning back now. Pointing slightly to the map, she held it out so both Bunny and Rose could inspect it. “I’m guessing we are here…” Her finger, spry and soft with crimson sparkly nail polish, pointed to a small dot on the map. Though really, she had no idea how to read a map, it was just a best guess.


Rose wasn’t quite sure what to make of Bunny’s outburst about their welcome party. She really doubted it was possible. And even if it was, Rose would probably try to find some way out of it. She wasn’t quite comfortable with having people's attention on her yet. Rose nodded curtly as Tori pointed to a spot on the map. Her answer made more sense, even if it didn’t actually do anything to answer the question. They were supposed to head to some guild hall here in the city, Rose already forgot the name of it somehow. Uhhhm, what was it. Blue P… Pegasus? Yeah, that seemed. right.


And no sooner did she think it then she saw it on the map Tori was holding for them both to see. She pointed to it so the others could see it. “Here’s where we’re supposed to go i think. Not too far from here thankfully. Should only take us maybe ten minutes if we walk straight there.” She sounded slightly passive as she spoke. As if she expected one of them to stop her or correct her or something. Although she wasn’t quite ready to interact with people for too long, she did however have a lot of excitement for seeing this guild’s hall. She wondered how it was different from Mermaid Heels. Well, besides there being male members of the guild at least.


Tori stared at the map, slightly confused but only for a moment. Bunny pulled the map away from her sister and took a few steps forward. “Yuup” Her head came up and an arm cocked in some off the wall direction, “This way... ma’ams...” Her voice sounding all mechanical. Even her walking, with skirt and tights, she was walking much like a person in a robot suit. Before either of them could really even grasp the situation, Bunny was half way across the train’s plaza and heading down the road.


“Wait… What? What just happened!?” Tori exclaimed aloud, with a large sigh afterwards. Starting to trail after her sister, she turned to Rose, “C’mon. The Guild master will have our buns if we’re late!” But quickly before the little brat ran off, Tori caught her by the collar just out at the street before she got herself lost. She took the map and held it above her head. Bunny whined about never getting to do anything and complained about stretching out her shirts, and this and that. All of it falling on deaf ears. Sticking her arm out away from the demon, Tori handed the map to Rose, “If you would be so kind and lead us to our destination please. You seem to be more qualified for reading maps”


Bunny butted in, mumbling loudly, “I was going in the right direction. I know it.” Sticking out her tongue to end her nonexistent conversation with her big sis.


Rose was slightly shocked when Tori handed her the map. She hadn’t expected to be leading anyone around anywhere. “O-oh, um ok. Thank you.”, she stammered. Tori had a point about her knowing how to read the map. Rose wondered where exactly she would’ve learned to do that. Thinking on it began to give her the start of a headache, so she quickly stopped and looked the map over once more. Thankfully they didn’t follow Bunny, because she was going to take them in the completely wrong direction. Rose oriented to be facing the guild hall and started walking.


Bunny’s face lit up as they arrived at the Hall. As some would put it, their Guild was “Fabulous.” With stars in her eyes and her cheeks rosy red, Bunny charged into the hall. Pushing people out of the way and leaping through the doors before anyone could stop her, she was lost among the crowd within. Tori on the other hand simply sat down quietly in the grass just outside the building. She was not normally one to act feminine, but she pulled her hair over her shoulder. All of its ashen white silkiness bundled tightly into a french braid. She kind of zoned out as she played with it for a moment, thinking about when her and Bunny were little. Looking back up at Rose, she just sat there silent, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t. Either way she wasn’t going in the Hall. The volume could be heard outside, and it was much too crowded for her liking.


Rose folded the map up as they arrived, watching Bunny rush inside almost immediately. She sure was excitable, that much was for sure. Kinda… reminded her of someone. Though she couldn’t say who. Her head hurt a bit more so she didn’t even bother thinking of who it might be. She turned to find Tori settling on the grass outside, apparently not interested in going inside. Rose would join her but she really wanted to see how the guild hall looked on the inside. It was quite beautiful from the outside already after all, so the inside was probably doubly amazing. So Rose handed the map back to Tori and muttered a quick, “Thank you.”


She wasn’t sure why she was thanking her, but she felt like thanking people was already becoming a habit. She quickly rushed inside and found that it was far more crowded and noisy than she would’ve preferred. She hurried to find a spot a bit away from other people and admired the beauty of the guild hall. Although she personally felt Mermaid Heels was better, she might be biased in thinking that though. She kept to the wall behind her and admired the beauty and wonder in between bouts of nervously looking around the crowd of people.

Nora Fulleat

​

Unlucky, destructive and shocked.

Nora looked at the unscathed giant blankly. "Y-y-you're alright? Oh thank goodness." She gave a big sigh of relief. Often her explosions knock people back or worse, she was glad that he was alright. With the dust clearing she finally could feel her allergies vanishing. Sniffling she calmed down, lowering the amount of fairy dust that she excreted. Why do I have magic that I'm allergic to? But he survived that unscathed he must be a strong wizard. She replaced her relief with more nervous afraid she might have angered the powerful wizard.


She took a step back and gave a nervous smile. He didn't seem angry, but she wasn't one to take chances. Listening to him she paused for a moment thinking about a large guild. "I'm not from around here, I just got in town myself, but there are lots of guilds around. Are you a member and got lost?" She rapped her brain trying to think about a nearby guild. Tapping her finger against her cheek she thought, "a large guild around here." She peeked over at the building beside them where she could still hear the others inside. The insignia of the Blue Pegasus Guild was strewn around the building.


Raising an eyebrow she wondered, "could it be the Blue Pegasus Guild?" Glancing back at him she was taking a shot in the dark with this guess. She doubted it, I mean it's right here, he must be thinking of another guild. I mean what kind of person would ask directions right in front of the building.

[Lysander99]

Toketsu blushed at the girl's remark. He scratched the back of his head and sat up, "Was it that obvious...?" Toketsu looked the girl over once as he stood up. She was a bit older than Toketsu. Not physically, because she looked quite young, but he could tell her age in the way she carried herself. She'd been around the block a few times. Her hair was a lighter silver, and her eyes a nice blue. She was very pretty, and Toketsu had to force himself to look around the room for a second so as not to stare. "It's true. I've only been a member of Fairy Tail for about a month now. But it's not the fighting that makes me uncomfortable. That happens more days than not at Fairy Tail. It's why they're fighting. Everybody is so nervous, or anxious. I kind of wish I could calm everybody d-"

Boom!

​

Toketsu flinched. He expected more of a response from the room, but other than a few glances nobody seemed too interested. With a nervous chuckle he turned back to... "It's Heather right?" He said, extending his hand to shake. "I'm Toketsu. This Guild Hall has a kitchen right? I have an idea."

Ezekiel Vatés~


Enraptured, might have been the word.


As a man who had not seen much of the world, Ezekiel truly greeted the trip to the Blue Pegasus guild, and to the city of Los Ichiyasco as an extension of that, as a novel and wonderful experience. The city, in its great liveliness and aesthetic grandeur, was so incredibly attractive to the mind's eye... Ezekiel glided across the pavement as though in a state of dreaming, head bowed in such a way that his quaint hood concealed his upper face entirely, a calm smile drifting upon his lips. The thin, tightly-woven chains that hung from his chest-plate, gauntlets and belt jingled lightly as he walked, as though a symphony of ringing keys followed his every step. The mage walked at a notably slow pace, absorbing as much as possible of this magnificent civilization, but still he maintained a keen sense of direction and resolute purpose. He, like so many other mages gathered this fine day, had been invited to attend the meeting at the Blue Pegasus guild, and although Ezekiel always seemed to be fascinated by one thing or the other, his foremost thoughts certainly lay among more productive notions...


And, of the more prominent notions that flooded this industrious man's mind, existed the fact that Ezekiel had recently adhered to yet another duty- a duty towards the Silver Phoenix guild, that he was very careful not to be negligent of. Perhaps attending this grand meeting was the mere beginning of it, but Ezekiel had every intention of serving the people of Fiore well, and he believed his allegiance to his new-found guild played a large part in that. Although he was quite the rookie and had yet to truly settle into the system that others seemed so familiar with, the mage was ardent for an opportunity to prove his worth. This, of course, required diligence, and so Ezekiel...


His long, tanned cape fluttered about his forearms and back as Ezekiel approached his destination, his mind's eye wandering from idle thoughts and his surroundings to the building that, he was quite sure, loomed above him. With each pulse of sensory magic, Ezekiel observed the relatively large congregation gathered about, chattering excitedly as they filed into the building. He, too, wandered closer, feeling rather elated to be allowed inside such an impressive guild-hall; after all, considering everything he'd so far heard in regards to it, surely it was--


".....Oh."


Ezekiel suddenly halted in his smooth stride right before the doors of the guild, pausing in mild confusion and lifting his head. The smooth, porcelain mask he wore glinted as the man stood idly before the rubble (that had once been a beautiful door) situated about the guild-hall's entrance. Ezekiel lifted his head back, the large, scarlet heart that concealed his upper features seemingly peering up at the grand infrastructure he intended to enter, then back down at the crumbled door at his feet, before the sensory mage decided to overlook this... slight obstruction with a shrug.


"Well then."


Ezekiel, stepping nimbly over the felled masonry and shattered jewels, ventured inside of the hall and was greeted with a rather warm and eminent atmosphere. Also a rather lively one, considering the many people present with certain individuals being more eccentric in character than others. Regardless, Ezekiel could not complain; this was all very interesting to him, both the location and the many personalities present, and it was this sort of environment he best understood as an opportunity to learn things about others as well as the external world he was yet to become familiar with. Thus, while humming lightly to himself in absent thought, Ezekiel took to the fringes of the hall in curious exploration of it, while maintaining a keen mental awareness of the people closest in proximity to him should he be approached or should something perhaps fascinating happen.

Alicia Spearheart

“Hello there, Ms. Alicia!”


Alicia smiled and nodded a greeting.


"It's been a while, Light."


“Who do you think’s gonna throw the first punch?” He chuckled.


Alicia shrugged, grinning wryly.





"It's only a matter of time." She agreed. "My money would normally be on Dusty, but I asked Jacob to keep an eye on him so they should be fine. If I was a betting girl I'd go for one of the other S-class, but as to who specifically I have no idea. They're all pretty dangerous."





She watched the other mages in the hall for a moment, and then folded her arms across her coat as a breeze gusted through the shattered doors.





"I wish that the council would just get on with it." She commented, idly scuffing the heel of her boot against the floor. "The suspense is killing me."

Werner Reinhold

​

Werner came down from his room, being dressed properly. He had stood inside, training his body, and trying to remember all the names of those who would come. Looking around, he smiled at people who passed him, taking time to admire the whole ordeal. Werner never saw this many people in a place, well, except the theater, but that is an exception. With him was his long polearm, never leaving it far from him.


His eyes scanned the whole place to see someone that he might know. He saw Russsel talking to someone who was familiar to him. "Hey... Isn't he that guy from the theater who left?..." He smiled when he saw Russel talking with such fervor and with a smile, and then at him running into the crowd. "Sure has a wild spirit."


Werner's eyes then went to see Heather. His smile grew, looking at her smile at everyone. Then he saw a rather infatuated guy starting to talk to her. Werner noticed his blush, and his smile disappeared, turning instead into a grin. Straightening his suit, Werner went down, going next to Heather, his polearm in one arm being placed straight on the ground."Is there a problem here, sir?" Werner asked, trying his best to be polite. His eyes peered at Heather, then back at the guy.

Heather Lillian

While Heather waited for Toketsu to answer, she turned to regard Lynn, hearing the mage’s question simply. Smiling, Heather replied, “I think we’re all just waiting in the great room for now. While we do have other meeting rooms, I honestly don’t think we would all fit.” She glanced at the mages who were already gathered, considering for a moment before she continued, “And honestly, I wouldn’t want half these people crammed in one of those rooms. The room wouldn’t last long…”


Turning, Heather did in fact notice Bailey as he ran into her although she did roll her eyes. “I’m doing fine,” she answered bluntly. “And yes, there are a lot of mages around. That’s what happens when the Magic Council decides to summon all of them to one place.”


Finally, Heather was able to bring her attention back to Toketsu as he offered her a response. Her eyes narrowed at him slightly as she once again assessed the crowd that had gathered in the guild; the more she watched people, the more she realized that the crowd really wasn’t that out of control. She expected things to be worse. As she watched things, Heather noticed Werner walk over and she smiled at him before turning her gaze back to Toketsu.


“Yes, I am Heather,” she replied first. “And while I see what you mean, this honestly isn’t that bad. They’re just a bit rambunctious. And we do have a kitchen, but I’d rather honestly contain the crowd here as opposed to letting people leek into the rest of the hall.”


"Is there a problem here, sir?"


Turning to Werner, Heather replied first, “No problem here. This is just a lot of people to have in one place at one time.”

Olive Kittana

Olive winced as Adrianne apologized for what had happened. The Edge Runner’s own memories of it would always continue to bring the thoughts of it back into Olive’s own mind and it wasn’t exactly something she wanted to remember. Therefore, Olive was actually glad when Adrianne turned the attention back to the situation at hand by asking, “Any idea of what’s going on?”


Olive glanced over the crowds of people, feeling much more comfortable the more she remained within the large group. As she poked around within the various minds that were in front of her, the picture of the scene slowly but surely began to fill in. “Well, it seems like we’re not the only ones who don’t know why we’re meeting. Some people seem to be quite impatient,” she observed although she stated it out loud so Adrianne could hear her.


Then she caught on to something interesting. Someone was playing a… prank? Is that what she’s trying to do? Her eyes trickled over to the blonde girl now leaning against the wall on the other side of the hall. “I’m not sure exactly what she just did, but I have a feeling it’s not going to be good,” Olive commented, slightly gesturing towards the girl who happened to be Angel Litwick. “It happened really fast…” For a moment, Olive’s eyes watched the center of the room intently, waiting for anything to result from a situation she found extremely interesting.

Tommy O'Shay

​

The man's brow furrowed as Russel ran off, the kid's enthusiasm overwhelming whatever concern for his own hurt that he might have had. Tommy could only shake his head. That injury had clearly been a severe one. Though... He removed his glasses and examined them, frowning. Of course, the dirt on his eyewear could have screwed up what he saw. Sighing to himself, he untucked his shirt tail and began wiping his glasses. Kids today...


As he readjusted himself and stepped forward, his skin prickled. Narrowing his eyes, the Southern Wolf scanned the crowd of mages. The air in the immediate area had just moved unnaturally; his Air Magic had tipped him off to it, but whether it had been magically generated movement or from the movement of a physical object, he couldn't tell. His fighter instinct dug at his mind, telling him there was more to it, but his own intellect hushed it down. There were after all countless mages present of unknown abilities, so who was to say what had generated that? Shrugging, he straightened his suit coat and walked further into the guildhall, leaving the wreckage of the front door with a wry grin.


Opulence. He might have figured, this being Blue Pegasus. But to each their own. Hands in his pockets, Tommy looked about. Yep, there was a wide variety of mages present. It almost looked like ever guild was represented. Suddenly he noted a figure he's not seen before, and bedecked in...a hood and armor? Curious, Tommy walked over to the Mage and stuck out his hand in greeting.


"Not seen you before. Tommy O'Shay, Southern Wolves." He smiled amiably, his pipe clacking against his teeth as he talked. His eyes flitted to he mask, and he made a mental note to be wary of the fellow. "Don't usually see folks walking around in armor."


@GoldenBlight

Adrianne Harrow

​

The Seer sighed. Impatient? Great. Because Fiore had plenty of mages who had no problem stirring up a little trouble just for a good laugh. Shaking her head, Adrianne looked back to Olive.


"Well, if she tries anything, or, uh, anything else, I'll make sure she stays put. Though I guess I didn't need to tell ya that, huh?" Smiling, she leaned against the wall and slid to a seated position on the floor. She came to a rest with her knees up and her arms resting on them, hands positioned vaguely in the general direction of the girl Olive had indicated. When she spoke again, it was in a private tone, though still pleasant. "So. Psychometry, huh? That's a big weight to have to carry. You're pretty tough. Seemed similar to my Seer magic in a way."


Adrianne's purpose might be plainly evident to Olive: kill time while waiting for trouble to start, and get to know a potential friend better at the same time. Similarly, her plan might also stand out to Olive in her mind: should the girl Olive had indicated make any movement, the ring of gravity magic Adrianne had encircled her with would trap her in place.

Alyssa Gardner

​

Shocked.


That's all she could come up with. When she'd felt someone grab her hand, Alyssa had been ready to give them a beating. Only to see Jacob gently press a kiss to her hand, causing her to flush slightly once her mind realized what had just happened. "Wh..wha..." she mumbled, blinking a few times. Her confusion left her quiet for a few moments as Jacob continued to greet her in a much more normal way.


"I apologize that the meeting was held somewhere so...grand, I guess is an alright term to use."


"Er...yeah..." she replied, a bit quiet. Staring at his face for a moment, she shook off her confusion before glancing around the room. "This is some place you've got here..." she spoke, in a pathetic attempt to not sound annoyed. Last she knew the brat was coming with them. She didn't need to get bitched at for being an ass with her around.


Though her pathetic attempt faded only seconds later at the sound of some other brat screaming at her. Eyes narrowed she started to turn, ready to give the prissy little princess a piece of her mind. "Now look here you little-!" she started to scream, her eyes blazing, only to be cut off by someone screaming her name. "Shit-!"


“ALLLYYYYYYSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!” Was all she heard before a smaller body slammed into hers, sending her stumbling back a few steps.


Groaning she felt skinny arms wrap around her waist, signalling that the youngest member of Lamia Scale had not gone through her. Yippee. "Da-I mean jeesh kid," she made out, gritting her teeth as she worked to censer herself. Damn this was going to be annoying. "Er, yeah. Uh good job there brat." she said in response to her realization that she hadn't simply flown through the older girl, trying to offer praise despite the obvious awkward note in her voice as she spoke.


"I left soon after Ryos brat. Why aren't you whining at him?"


Alyssa's brow twitched as Libby ignored her and looked at Misty and began to fire questions about him. "Misty just dresses like that brat." she told the younger girl, before looking up at Jacob. "Misty, this is Libby. Youngest member of Lamia Scale." she muttered, not happy to have been stuck with babysitting duty.

"I'm actually pretty nervous. All these big shot guild members are here. I'm not even from a mage guild... But that's alright. Whatever.”

Vaiya raised her eyebrow. “I’m not much of a bigshot either,” she said, laughing.

"Neh, neh. You look around my age, plus we're like the same height. Wanna go eat somewhere sometime? After that, we could go shopping. Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, this is the first time I've ever talked to a girl as cute as you. Kyaa!"

Her lips creased into a bemused grin. “I’d love to, Jessie.” The blonde cupped the young mage’s elbow gently in appreciation of the offer.


“And you’re cute too,” she said. Her eyes narrowed into mischievous slits, and then she parted her mouth as if about to speak when Melina entered.

“Hi there, I um.. I’m Melina. Nice to meet you.”

Vaiya quickly recovered. “Hi, Melina!” she greeted, extending her palm to shake the new girl’s hand.

"Your outfits looks pretty awesome! Neh, how old are you? You look really pretty. Ah~ I wish you girls would tell me where to get those fashionable outfits. I've been stuck in school uniform since I left home."

The blonde giggled. She confidently wrapped her fingers around Jessie’s elbow and pulled the other girl in close till their faces were barely a foot apart.


“That’ll be easy! This is Los Ichiyasco, Jessie. The most fashionable city in all of Fiore. There’s a reason a beautiful guild like Blue Pegasus lives here,” Vaiya said.


She then gestured towards the main hall. “Anyways,” she continued, “we should probably head over before we’re too late.”

[/QUOTE][QUOTE="Sergeant Sass]
“How’s my day?” she drawled. “Well, I got summoned to this huge meeting and I had to get Asher to get his stupid butt out of bed and then I had to put him on a train which is painful in and of itself and now it seems that they’re gonna make us wait to find out why they even brought us here in the first place when I’ve gone through all this effort to be here!”
“And you’re asking me how my day is? I hope you don’t expect an answer because it really depends on whether or not all the effort to get here was worth it.”


“Maybe I think the damn magic council ought to be a bit more explicit when they decide to summon EVERYONE! And besides, waiting on everyone’s gonna take a Goddamn eternity!!”

[/QUOTE]
Marcella could glimpse a slow smile rise onto A’den’s face as she continued to vent, growing until he wore a wide grin upon her rhetorical climax.

“Sounds like you just told me exactly how your day was going,” he commented, clasping her elbow firmly while chuckling. Not forceful enough to hurt her, but far more firmly than anyone who knew of her condition would’ve dared to touch. Marcella then caught his sapphire orbs rise in slow motion towards her brother.


Silver Phoenix’s guildmaster locked onto Asher’s eyes with a look that bore into Sabertooth’s Dragon Slayer. In an instant the doorways into A’den’s soul burst open to Asher, pouring decades of hardened experience, brutal decisions, and unflinching ruthlessness into his mind in a single, violent moment of understanding.


To the Water Dragon Slayer’s perception, it was as if he had fought beside A’den for years. One look from the Sheriff shared greater insight into the mysterious man than any conversation ever could.


As soon as Asher recovered from the potentially overwhelming experience, he would hopefully realize a few important subtleties.


One. A’den was dangerous. He was not a man to be trifled with.


Two. A’den willingly revealed his inner self to Asher. Any individual capable of presenting such a powerful gaze had to be just as capable of hiding their intentions. The Sheriff was honest with Asher as an expression of goodwill.


And, if he were so attuned, Asher might have also realized that in that instant, A’den was just as capable of studying Asher’s inner self as Asher was capable of understanding A’den.


Outwardly, ethereal communication unbeknownst to Marcella, A’den grinned like an old friend. “Ah, and you must be Asher. I heard about you from Raito.”

"I'm so sorry for being late Guildmaster A'den. I got caught up with something and lost track of the time."

The guildmaster turned away from the Sabertooth siblings to face his subordinate, features once again shadowed by the wide brim of his hat.


Aden would suddenly have a very bad feeling come over him. Like he was a helpless rabbit in the forest as a hungry wolf stalked him in the underbrush.


“Do you remember what I said about punctuality, Aden?” the Sheriff said. Slowly.


His hand latched into a crushing grip on the poor mage’s shoulder. “We are the face of our guild. Our actions are what builds up our reputation with Fiore and the world; everyone is watching and judging us based on our every move.”


Instantly an invisible and intangible, but incredible pressure overcame Aden. A choking, crushing presence nearly strong enough to force him onto his knees.

“So, Aden. It is always important that members of Silver Phoenix. Be. On. Time.”
