Description



{Names} Sandra, Rose Female {Gender}
{Surname} Lecarde Twenty-six {Age}
{Alias} Wandering Rose S {Rank}

Image

~ Physical Info ~

{Appearance}
A petite, young woman. Sandra stands at a measly 5'3" feet (160 cm.), with a scrawny body that weighs a rough 116 pounds (53 kg.). The swordswoman isn't exactly muscular, though some lean muscle is present from carrying that weighty greatsword around twenty-four/seven. A rough, caucasian skin covers Sandra's skeleton. Decorated with various markings that originate from the girl's tough life-style.

Her face is small, kid-like, and very well rounded. A short and pointy tip that is her nose, stands just above the woman's salmon-coloured lips, and between her large and curious eyes. Sandra's irises are two different colours (Heterochromia), The left is a sky-blue colour, while her right eye has this acid-green colour. The oak-brown hair that covers the top would be of waist-length. Though the front has been significantly cut shorter to a chin-length and is styled in a ragged/spiky look, while her waist-length hair is kept in two separate tails on either side of her head.


{Tattoo}
The Guild-mark, which is transparent(The mark only consists of a black outline.) is located on the left side of her face, covering the lower part of her cheek and stretching out to her neck.



~ Mentality ~

{Personality}
Sandra is very soldier-like, precise, and honourable. But can be cheerful and free-spirited as well. She is harsh at times, to make sure the more childish members aren't doing any rash things. She keeps them in line, and prevent them from making a mess of the guild-house with their arguing or meaningless fighting-taunts. Much for their own safety, because Sandra feels somewhat responsible for their well being.

She has a great love for the world and its history, believing that these things are much more valuable than anything else. Which can show in great extents. Probably the reason Sandra barely beckons for assistance, or even allows other members to join her missions. She's afraid her extent might even include neglecting a member's life, to preserve a historical artefact or area. Lucky for her, she never had to make this decision.

To other people, mostly strangers, Sandra keeps this act of professionalism. Which can work as a trustworthy image to clients, while it can serve as an intimidating appearance towards evildoers. She never resorts to violent methods, unless it is her only way of progression.

Friends, and fellow members are considered Sandra's family. A handful of people she holds close and wants to be happy. She cares for their concerns, and is forever loyal to them. Though, not enough to give them any insight in her own motivations and personal life.

~ Ability Statistics ~

{Magic-Types}
Wind magic. Sandra has adapted her magic to use it alongside her swordfighting skills, giving it the name 'wind-blader'. She focuses on the current aspect of wind, giving her a bit of a boost in various areas. Whether it be increasing her sprint, jump height, or simply quickening the swing of her weapon. There are no real limits, only that the swordswoman isn't as skilled in the broader array of wind magic and just mastered her branch of it.


{Signature Spell}
{Wings of Icarus}
Manipulating the currents that surround her body while running or jumping, Sandra can move her body more easily. Her jumps are slightly higher, and the speed while sprinting is boosted as well. This ability is particularly useful when traversing dangerous areas that require balance and agility.


{Spell List}
{Wind Edge}
Sandra swings her weapon sideways (Either vertical or horizontal), and sends a speeding slice of wind at her adversaries. The slice of wind has the same property of the swing it originated from, and thus it will cut anything in their way in half.


{Curtain of wind}
Sandra swings her weapon around her whole body, creating a wind-curtain that consists of high-currents that blocks small, to average sized objects. non-physical magic, and larger debris can still pass though are slightly weakened.


{Zero Gravity}
An ability that manipulates the large amount of current that surrounds Sandra's body when falling. It can, for a very short period of time, allow flight. Though its main purpose is to lighten the woman's fall, or completely nullify it at short heights.


{Wind Shackles}
A way to immobilize beings by manipulating the wind around the wrists, ankles, and neck. Forming this invisible shackle that prevents anyone from moving. This can be created as a method of torture, occasionally tightening the shackles and apply minor cuts on the held areas.


{Non-magic Skills}
# Swordfighting (Greatsword)
# Mediating
# Archeology/Historian
# Caretaking/Leading

~ Personal Background ~

{An unlikely treasure}
Passing through one of the forests near the outer reaches of Fiore, a young woman was exploring an old ruin. A small cubic temple of sorts. Upon entering the small, wrecked construct she found herself hearing a continuous crying. The crying of a baby. The treasure hunter had managed to track the saddening noise to a small altar that was located in one of the corners of the temple.

On the decorated staircase below the altar, lay two shredded corpses. One female and one male, victims of a savage group. Most likely bandits. The crying came from a crack behind the altar, where the baby was supposedly hidden from the attackers. The small infant was wrapped in various blankets, probably to keep it warm. With watery eyes, the young woman held the baby in her now crossed arms and gently swayed them back and forth until the baby stopped crying.

There was a brief moment of silence, the young woman smiling at the baby that was now sleeping in her arms. Feeling partially responsible for this infant's tragic fate, the treasure hunter took it home with her and raised the baby as if it was her own...


{Lifestyle of a Treasure Hunter}
Deana Lecard, as the woman was called had raised the baby into the young girl it was now. Sandra, Rose Lecarde was her name. A rather spirited girl who enjoyed every minute spent with who she thought was her mother. Deana, was a treasure hunter. Or a historian actually. Someone who spend their time travelling the world to discover ruins, mythical creatures, and learn from their stories.

Sandra was told all the stories her mother had discovered, and even taught on how to live her harsh lifestyle. When the young girl had come of age, around twelve years old, Deana trained her in wind magic. Manipulating air-currents to her will, and learn to use them in assisting her on future travels. Along this, Sandra was trained in sword-fighting. Another tool that was used with the form of wind magic she was taught.

Occasionally Sandra was allowed to join her mother on the explorations, as long as they weren't too dangerous for a young innocent child. They were a duo, and constantly traveled from place to place, picking up pieces of the puzzle that was known as history. And with each adventure, a new experience was gained...


{Final teachings, Deana's successor}
History has always been a teacher, but mankind is too arrogant and refuses to learn from it. A dream to record every piece of history, something that will open humanity's eyes to their continuous mistakes. A goal Deana has been working towards, ever since she could fend for herself. And after this final lesson, it would become Sandra's goal as well.

One of Deana's contacts had provided information about a small island that had surfaced from the ocean. How was currently unknown, but the remaining constructs were old and possibly another piece of the puzzle. The duo had set out on another adventure, a dangerous one that would forever remain in Sandra's mind as one of the darker parts of her life.

Although the, now eighteen year old, treasure hunter was unknowing about this part of her mother's life, Deana had made enemies during her travels. Bandits, scavengers and mercenaries who all failed to get their hands on treasures that were claimed by the woman. And this island, would be where the evildoers were victorious. And not the good-willed historian.

Upon finding a glyph with an ancient text writton on it, the two treasure hunters were ambushed by a group of bandits who had been hiding in the wrecked chambers that were scattered amongst the large altar. The duo fled, only to run into a dead end. The ledge was low enough for Sandra to climb over with a little boost, but too heigh for Deana to get a grip on. The young girl hid, as her mentor desperately fought off the group of bandits.

Deana was handling them with ease, but a slip-up in her movement made the final two bandits see the oppertunity to gravely injure the old woman. Shocked at her mother falling to the hands of mere bandits, Sandra jumped down from the ledge and defended her mentor from the last branch of bandits. But 'twas too late, the measly strike had nearly severed Deana's arm and the second had made a deep cut on her stomach...

The panicking girl tried her best to stop the bleeding, bandaging the wounds only to barely delay the inevitable. With her last breath, Deana reached for Sandra's hands and softly smiled. Muttering her last words before passing away. 'You did well, I've taught you everything you need to know. I hand you my work, complete my dream for me...'

Sandra softly cried as her mentor, and mother released her final breath and dropped like a lifeless doll. Before leaving the island, the young girl buried Deana, the woman's weapon serving as the tombstone. Sandra said her final goodbyes, and promised her mentor to complete the dream that was now shared between them...


{Solving the puzzle, joining Draco Edge}
For six long years, Sandra continued solving the puzzle on her own. She refrained from using any outside contacts, as the girl believed this was what led Deana to her death. But, over these years, the clues were nothing more but rusty steel and crumbled books without pages. The young treasure hunter had nearly lost her motivation.

Until, she stumbled into Oshibana Town. It was the famous town that had endured an almost fatal predicament with the Eisenwald guild. Sandra had heard how Fairy Tail, a guild renown for their ability to make a mess of things wherever they travel, had stopped this act and defeated the dark guild. This made her wonder. Maybe a guild would be the perfect way to continue her goal...?

Eventually, Sandra stumbled into a building that was the guild-house of Draco Edge. Although she only entered to get a refreshing drink, it became a visit that would have her join the guild. The young woman threw herself in a converstion with the supposed guild master, who was named Loritova, hoping the man knew something worth knowing.

The man pointed to one of the sheets on the mission-board. A cryptic text written on it, and even Sandra could barely make out that it held another piece to her puzzle. Sandra was persuaded to join the guild, probably Loritova knew the girl's capabilities, and in return she'd get assistance with her work.

Loritova


"Here in Fiore, in the small Oshibana Town, lies the Guild; Draco Edge."

Loritova; an exceedingly tall man, with muscular build and flaming red hair. His stark appearance is dwarfed by the pan around to room below, a large gathering hall where many people can be seen conversing, eating, and bickering. Loritova appears to be standing on a balcony that overlooks the massive hall below. His crimson brown eyes look down upon the people that he's so hastily recruited in the past three months. They carry the future of Draco Edge with them, the future of a Guild founded by the Magic Council itself. They were chosen, by Loritova, to become the new leaders of this aspiring guild and they will mold it's future.
The man finally speaks, only lending a voice loud enough to be heard by himself.

"Ah. Today marks the day that Draco Edge becomes three months old. It's significance is to mark the day that Draco Edge is finally recognized as an official Guild of Fiore." Loritova pauses, takes a deep breath and continues. "These children, no, these selected few will carry this guild to its downfall or its greatness... hopefully the latter, obviously." He chuckles lightly as the group down below doesn't pay any mind to Loritova's existence. "Ah, this group is something!" He chuckles again. "Charlotte and Anachayla bickering as always; Seibi and Chowa trying their best to avoid getting dragged into the silly rivalry. Kacie always being the one who cleans up the mess they make, then there's Akumu and Fumiko who sit together munching on piles of sweets. The two young girls; Elysia and Haruka, are always running around, enjoying their lives... that always brings a smile to my face." He smiles the laughs abit. "Akio is always the one who tries to woo the women, usually taking his pick of Shae Ann or Eliza, although they always reject him." Loritova ruffles his beard a little before continuing. "Ah, I can't forget our little prodigy, Sotofu! He has a tendency to stay away from the loud noise and sit alone. There's also Theo, he's one you don't want to bother too often... he's just like Dimetre... well not really, Dimetre will at least socialize with the other members." He pauses to take another breath while taking a brief walk over to the window overlooking the Training Grounds. "The ever so gentle and kind Cassadin had a tendency to take care of the various plants found around the grounds, and Morien the valiant swordsman always diligently practicing his swordsmanship." He returns to his overlook of the main hall. "Ah yes, there is Draco Edge's newest member Kuroi Lightblade, although he hasn't quite settled in quite yet, he chooses to remain inside trying to be social, which is rather good... But of course we have our elite... Mordecai and Chayton, our own duo born from Mother Nature herself. Those two are arguably our strongest members, well at least Mordecai is, since he is our Guild Ace. Those two are definitely reliable mages, ones I put some of the deepest trust into... But... There is one other, Sandra. She is my most trusted fighter, although she is usually off doing the most dangerous and complicated of missions. Given that she's our top S-Rank Mage, she tends to be the one who watches over everyone, making sure all mischief is kept to a minimum. She is my most trusted Mage and she has deemed all my respect as a fine warrior." Loritova cracks his neck, then his fists, then takes a deep breath. "But enough of this! This is a day for celebration! We are now recognized throughout the Kingdom as a Magical Guild! Now, once Mordecai and Chayton return from their errand, our feast shall begin." Loritova hunches over the railing of the balcony again, looking down at his Guild, admiring the great growth that he has witnessed in the short three months.

Sandra R. Lecarde

Oshibana Town.


The crowded streets of Oshibana town, as always it would remind Sandra that she was not far from her home. A gentle breeze and the morning sun greeted her as she made the first steps into the colourful town. It was a warm welcome that made the swords-woman smile, every time she'd return from a job. Just like today...

How long has it been? A few days, maybe even an entire week since the young woman had last been inside the guild's house. Her mind wandered off to what might have changed in that time. During these three months, Draco Edge had grown rapidly. Wait, three months already? Today was the eighth of October, right? The guild master had planned a celebration because of Draco Edge's third month as an official guild.

How could she forget? Loritova himself had reminded the S rank wizard of today's feast...! With a realisation in mind, Sandra quickened her footsteps while making a mental note that she should try to bring something with her. No can do, to arrive without any contribution to a feast. The metal-plated boots began stomping on the pavement as they kept up a decent pace.

Lucky for Sandra, she had some money to spare for a few bits and pieces of edibles. It wasn't much, but at least she had contributed a bit to the feast. And that was all that mattered.


Draco Edge Guild House.

She had taken her sweet time strolling through Oshibana. The feast had most likely started, and she was the one arriving late. Though content on returning home, Sandra couldn't shake the feeling that a certain old man would want to talk about her absence for the majority of this 'important' day. Still, it would be great to see everyone again, plus maybe a new member or two.

The gravel crunched under the heavy weight of the swords-woman's footwear, until they came to a halt. Two large eyes glared from underneath fringes of oak-brown hair, admiring the sight of the Draco edge guild house. Sandra released a deep breath from her mouth, the warm feeling of home once again embracing her entire being.

“Shae.” Sandra lightly bowed her head, acknowledging a fellow guild member, and S rank. The two never really talked much. Even though they are of the same rank, and practically live under the same roof. Giving the flirty fellow; Akio a hello as well, the young woman continued her way into the Guild house. A large tavern-like layout but twice the noise welcomed her. 'Twas a party after all. Every member, old and new was having a good old time. Talking out loud, eating and drinking all they can...

A light chuckle left the woman's mouth, nodding at anyone who greeted her as she approached the bar. Sandra didn't know if Kacie was even here (Although it was rather unlikely she wasn't.), but she had to place the bag of edibles somewhere. And with all the commotion going on, there was no way anyone would be trying the nick the bag from the counter.

“Welcome home, Sandra.” Her mind and body began to wander through the hall, observing as she spoke with no-one. On the balcony that granted a wide view of the bar, stood the guild master; Loritova. As high and might as ever, the old man certainly knew how to organize a feast. Sandra gave the man a nod. Of course to greet him, but mostly just to let the old man know she had returned. Nothing appeared to be out of place, and Sandra made herself comfortable by seating near the bar.

Sandra Lecarde
Draco Edge: Bar

Just a tad too deep in thought, the young woman noted a warm and gentle voice echoing through her head. It was Draco Edge's very own bartender, Kacie. Slightly surprised at her question, Sandra tried to form an answer. “Oh, something cold if you have it. Please.”

Kacie was one of the few adults in the guild, and even one of the fewer who didn't appear to take on missions that frequent. Though, Sandra wasn't as much around to know whether she did or didn't. That aside, the bartender was one of the few members Sandra actually had a decent amount of conversations with.

“Shouldn't I be? It is a party, we should celebrate Draco Edge's third month as an official guild with cheery expressions.” The young wizard thanked the bartender as she handed her a drink. Really, Sandra was just glad her home was still... home. Every member as cheery as ever, and the guild master standing on the balcony. Observing everyone down below.

A strange bunch indeed. Sandra herself wondered how the lot of them would handle everything the guild had to offer. Jobs, tests, and even potential enemies. They were strong, but still naïve and young. The woman had to laugh as the bartender mentioned the words 'Little ones'. “Kacie, please. You make it sound like we're two mothers, worrying about our kids and their future.”

She smiled, as she took another sip of her drink. Maybe there was a truth to that statement. At times it did feel like you were a mother that watches over her children, guarding them from anything dangerous and guide them on the right path. Sandra finished her drink, sliding the empty glass over to the sink.

As soon as Kacie had left the counter to serve some members, the door to the bar opened. A muddy Mordecai and Chayton had returned, carrying what appeared to be, dead wildlife. Ah, the two nature lovers. The two A-ranked members who could well have been ranked as S. Why, Sandra never knew. The young woman never spoke about it with Loritova, even though the topic had come up from time to time.

Mordecai, he was a rather quiet fellow. The silent giant that was Draco Edge's ace. A bulky man who was more of a silent guardian of the guild, and took offence to anything directed against it. Then there was Chayton. A cold and distant man, who even Sandra had to approach with care. Not that they ever spoke, or even interact in general.

“They've seem to have had their fun... ” The woman remarked, turning her head towards the kitchen as a loud noise emitted from the room. Mordecai, in all his clumsiness had probably not even bothered to watch his steps while carrying that large sack. Clumsy sod. And once again, Kacie was left to clean up the mess.

Upon taking another stroll through the bar, Sandra found herself bothered enough to listen in a the few conversations that were going on. The young Sotofu had attempted to talk with a rather new member... Leo... Neo... Theo? Yes, Theo was his name. Though the poor sod wasn't one for talking, as the odd-looking 'Silence' that hung above the boy's head indicated as such. Sandra paused for a moment to watch where it would lead. Luckily, there was no need to intervene.

Of course there was the famous bragging of Ana directed to Charlotte that was as loud as ever. With those two, you could always predict when there was a need to jump in and unstick the two from each other. It was like removing an octopus from a rock, it was that difficult to keep them apart.

The woman shrugged, figuring she could at least check up on Kacie before heading to her room for some documenting. Well, our giant did make a mess of things. It was a good thing there were no dishes or cups damaged in the process. “Need a hand with this mess?” Without waiting for a response Sandra made attempt to clean the remaining cookware that was still scattered on the floor...

Elysia Avari Skylar


Elysia looked at the kitchen and stared at the mess on the floor. She looked at Kacie and Sandra who was currently cleaning the mess. Judging from the noise and Mordecai's entrance moments prior, she can easily deduce that the large man was the one responsible for this mess. Shaking her head from the usual display of strength from the guild's Ace, Elysia approached Sandra and let out a disarming smile. She knelt down next to the brown-haired older and yet not so much taller woman and started helping her.

"Is there something I can do to help, Sandra?" She smiled charmingly again and tucked some of the stray white-hairs in her ears. *Shine* *Shine*

She waited for her reply and aimed to get the pots and pans from her hands. "Here let me help you with that, you know full well I don't want you seeing hurt, Sandra." Her voice was reproaching and soft, a fond and admiring tone evident in it. She peeked shyly from under her lashes, beaming expectantly at the Wandering Rose.

"Ouch!" Sandra suddenly retracted her hand away from the pile of pots and pans that she had picked up. A small bead of blood appeared from the cut on her finger. With the misting of tears at the corner of her amazingly unique eyes, she turned to Elysia with a pout. "I got a cut, Ely."

*Cute!* Elysia's eyes shined and a shower of roses and daises suddenly appeared behind her. She gently grasped Sandra's hand and inspected it lovingly. "You should be careful, Sandra." Suddenly, she put the injured finger in her lips and licked the blood off. "Is it still hurting?"

~Kyun!~ Sandra felt herself blush and with an adoring shade of red in her cheeks, she gazed at Ely's amber-colored eyes. *Sparkle sparkle*


...if only Elysia can actually do all of this.

Sighing, the white-haired thirteen year old sneaked a look from behind the door of the kitchen. Currently, she is hiding and gazing dreamily at her very idol in Draco Edge Guild. Unbeknownst to others, Ely admires Sandra R. Lecarde. There is something with the mage that makes Elysia idolize her greatly. From the very first time that she saw her- when Elysia Avari have arrived here at the guild, one of the most interesting individual that she had found aside from, Loritova, was the S-Rank Mage. Her maturity and cheerful demeanor struck the teenager rather hard.

The Sky Dragon Slayer truly wanted to be able to approach the older girl, but her inherent shyness always get ahead of her. Whenever she would try to talk to Sandra and start a conversation, she can't help but freeze up and spend the next few minutes mutely gaping at the brown-haired woman. She had tried to make a lot of attempts to befriend her, but she always failed the during the last minutes. Because of this, she usually creates scenarios in her head to plan for the big approach, or so as she calls it that. She thought that it will be the best way to finally be able to talk to her idol.

Smiling obviously besotted, Elysia decided to let them be for awhile. She can have other chances later on. Since Mordecai and Chayton had already came back, the master may start the celebrations in just few moments. She turned around and searched the bar for the direction of her team mates.

Before she had left to follow Sandra into the kitchen, she had seen Cassadin grinning and waving at her. It seemed like they had noticed her staring at them, like what often happens when she daydream. Having no small regard about her surroundings, it was bound that she stare far longer than what is appropriate to the one she's currently imagining of. She hoped that nobody was freaked out with her daydreaming out of the blue once again.

She wandered around the guild, stopping in a corner to see everyone more clearly in her small height and unintentionally saw Sotofu, her team leader approaching the other member of their three man cell, Theo Castille. She gasped, abruptly stopping and hiding in a corner where she can observe them. She realized that she was about to witness a blooming scene she never would have expected.

Theo really hated anything rowdy and the current noise had almost been overwhelming for him. Fighting the urge to silence each and every person seated at the bar, Theo steeled his will and controlled his temper. "Idiots, everyone of them", he muttered under his breath. If only he can ask the old man to retire to his room, he would never be found alive sitting quite obediently in this crowded bar.

"Hey Theo, how are you today?" Opening his eyes that he didn't even noticed closing moments prior, he found a pair of blue and gold colored eyes staring directly back at him.

"Sotofu?" He asked after a few moments of silence. Of all the people in Draco Edge, it was his leader that he can't form a solid opinion about. He was an enigma, the shorter and younger guy who was a C-rank and termed the Rising Sun. His blond hair which turns gold under the shining ray of sun and peculiar eyes as part of that mysterious package. There is a mix of innocence and maturity in his character that attracts even the attention of someone asocial like him.

“Is there anything that I can do to you, Sotofu?” There was a sudden onslaught of noise from the others and because of that Sotofu failed to detect the irritation induced in his voice.

Sotofu Katsu was momentarily stunned at the hundred implications of Theo's words. Since he saw him sitting alone amidst the throng of people in the guild- which is an unexpected thing for the black-haired man, he decided to do something. Sotofu knew how communicative the other man is, so he had been quite surprised to see him lacking the company of others in such a celebration like this. Convincing himself that it was time for him to become a leader and a friend combined in one, he had approached him without second thoughts and with every intention of keeping him company.

The blond-haired prodigy stared at the handsome face of his black-haired team mate. He was oldest in their small newly formed team. Aside from his usual silence and charming attitude, Theo Castille is someone you can call, a very unique individual. His dark inky black hair which falls adorably just under his ears. His pale skin and average height was also a sight to see. Feeling himself flush, Sotofu let out a sweet smile. "I just wanted to keep you company, Theo."

Theo flinched when Sotofu sat down next to him and their arms brushing afterwards from the close distance between them. "Oh, sorry", Sotofu said in a not-so-apologetic tone. Theo had felt his annoyance rise, and reasoned to himself that the blush in his cheeks had been formed only out of irritation from his leader's unnecessary friendliness.

"Can you please move away, I have a reputation to uphold." He muttered looking away. "And with you sitting beside me like a leech, the other idiots might think that we're together or something."

Sotofu chuckled under his breath, he said "The others won't notice us here, Theo. Everyone else is busy celebrating. And besides I just came here because I thought you were getting lonely sitting by yourself here."

"I-I wasn't lonely!" Theo hotly denied. "You should just have joined them. I don't need yours or anyone else's company."

"B-but, I came here because I want to be with you." He turned his body to face his seatmate and with a soft voice almost nearing a whisper, Tofu added, "I want to be your friend." A gust of wind blew unexpectedly in their position, shifting his hair to reveal golden-blue irises staring directly at the stunned Wordsmith. He shyly gestured to the direction of others and said, "I'm sure everyone else also wanted to talk to you."

"I don't want to talk to anyone or be friends with anyone for that matter," the dark-haired man grumbled darkly.

Sotofu gaped at him alarmed, "But why? You shouldn't think like that, as they had always said, no one can live alone. Guilds like this, like Draco Edge are not only created to provide a home for mages like us. Guilds, teams, and all other types of friendship is there to give us joy. Being with someone else should make you happy and feel warm, being alone can never make you experience that. I want to be your friend, not only because we are team mates but also because I think that you are a wonderful person. I can be you're friend, only if you'd let me. I can be more, only if you allow me to be." Sotofu shyly smiled, and bowed his head.

~Kyun!~

He wasn't able to stop himself. Hearing those statement from him made the blond-haired man think of someone looking at the world pitifully. Theo should never look something like that. He's not fit for it, and if Sotofu had his way, he'll surely make it certain that the black-haired man would never think like that again, ever.

Theo was silenced when he heard that empowering speech from the shorter guy. He had always wondered on how a lowly C-rank newbie like him was assigned to lead their small team. Tofu wasn't social by the society's standards and even Elysia herself looked aloof than what is usual for the girls. Still, staring at him wordlessly, he decided that it wasn't the leader in him that made Theo agree.

Sotofu's shining eyes, full of life and passion as he spoke out to his defense and his lips quirked in a smile as he encourage him further, made Theo realize that forming tentative friendships might not be that bad. Never in his life did Theo Castille experience this sudden drumming of his heart, beating so loudly as he gazed deeply into his leader's eyes.

*Sparkle* *Sparkle* It was said that the eyes are the windows of one's soul. And right now, looking at him, he can see the honesty and proof of the brevity of his statement. Theo looked to the other direction and said, "I'm not into mushy stuff like this, friendship? Love? Those are meaningless things to me...

but with you... I think I can try it." He finally mustered, his voice full of emotion.

"You should be responsible for this, do something about this," he said with a smirk. He watched and waited for the other mage's reply.

"I will..", was the blond-haired man's answer within a heartbeat.

Staring at Sotofu's face, he found an in-explainable burst of feeling flowing through him. Suddenly wanting to shout out loud and declare to the world how he felt but not knowing how to state it, he decided to whisper, "Tofu..."

"Theo..." The other replied back, opening his arms wide. The backdrop of the setting sun was promptly pasted behind the two of them once again. With the glittering sparkles and the brightly shining sun behind, both boy moved closer than what their distance would allow them to. Their arms locked in a hug, they continued passionately sharing their feelings all throughout.

"Tofu!" *Shine* *Shine*

"Theo!"

"Tofu!"


Not able to fight the fluff and overwhelming emotions flooding through her, the white-haired girl can't help it.

"..-eo, Tofu!" Elysia blurted out. Her voice was so loud that it broke through the noise that had surrounded the bar since early this morning. Her eyes opening in shock, she stared at her teammates' face with her own face heating up. Feeling somewhat afraid for her safety and the humiliation that was sure to follow; she bowed her head in silent apology, and walked as fast as she could towards the two boys.

Kacie


Kacie blew a strand of her ever unconsistent hair out of her face, it was always doing what it wanted and not what she wanted, a minor annoyance as she stood rubbing her back with her left hand a pan in her right. Bending down for that long was beginning to give her back ache, Mordecai really was going to have to learn finease.... Kacie suddenly imagained him gracefully flitering around the guild.... a giggle burst out of her at the image. Mordecai would never seem right if he had a gentle posture, he would always be the clumsy well built man that caused mess in her mind, mess that she always had to clean up!

A radient smile still on her expression Sandra's form appeared within the kitchen surprising Kacie, she opened her mouth to speak but Sandra beat her too it. “Need a hand with this mess?” She asked so kindly before immediantly lowering herself to the floor to clean up some of the mess remaining.
A warm flutter of appreciation at Sandra's thoughtfullness filled Kacie as she felt lost for words for a moment, she wasn't used to having such help, "er" was the sound that came from her light pink lips as she scrambled together a reply and her self awareness. "Sandra dear, you don't have to do that, im sure you have more important things to be doing rather than helping me clean up this mess. Really now you don't have too..." she trailed off putting the pan in her hand away before returning to the floor with Sandra to pick up the last few remaining.

Finally accepting her help however Kacie relaxed her body a bit and carried on her thoughts thinking of the guild as usual, she remembered Sandra's earlier comment about how she made it sound they were mothers of the guild using the term 'little ones'. It had brought a pang of pain to her heart as she recalled a distant memory, one she often tried to forget.

"Mordecai should really learn some self discipline" she scowled but it was kind of comical on Kacie as she was never serious and a slight amusement hinted on the undertone of her voice. "If he's going to make a mess he should learn to tidy up after himself, leaving others to clean up his dirty work... the manners!" she shook her head though she couldnt help the creeping smile that lurked at her lips. "Maybe we should mess up his room and lock him in so that he has to deal with it, he may not understand what we go through otherwise!" she joked with a light tone.

It was then that a sudden noise, similar to that of a table crashing leaked through to the pair "What on earth...." Kacie looked to the door her thoughts trailing off to dozens of conclusions. "Who do you think...?" she spoke not finishing as the culprits were suddenly probably very obvious to her.

Chowa Kyoku - The Bar

It all happened so fast that Chowa thought he was dreaming. One minute he was still enjoying the bitter taste of his coffee and dark chocolate, the next minute, he was staring in shock as both the coffee and chocolate being spilled all over his white-shirt. What the-. He flinched slightly as the hot sensation made him slightly uncomfortable. This was his newest shirt...and now it was all...dirty. And his gifts were...ruined...This is...unacceptable! Simply unacceptable.

The teenager stood up abruptly, his hands moved toward the dirty spots on his shirt, trying to use his power to clean it to no avail...His shirt was permanent stained...Looking up to meet the everyone's eyes, Chowa let out a dark growl as his calm face had lost its calmness. His books, his chocolate, his coffee...All gone. Silently picking up his soaking book and flipped through some pages...they had been stained, too...just like his shirt...This time both of them had gone too far. Chowa hissed to the girls, anger seeped into his voice as tendrils of water shot out of his sleeves and began to swirl around him dangerously.

"...you two have stepped out of your boundaries, Miss Kaylorn, Charlotte...if you two want to solve your... disagreement... may I suggest the training ground?...The last time I checked, this is still a bar...not a ring for boxing..."

His voice was quiet but his hands were trembling, indicated that he himself was also having a hard time controlling his temper. Enough was enough! He dusted himself and turned his head to face Cassadin "...I am sorry, Cassadin...I am not having a good time controlling my temper...It is not my intention for you to see this side of me" He looked at Kuroi and said silently "...welcome to Draco Edge, Mr. Lightblade...I hope you are having fun..."

His hands touched the ice, instantly dissolved it into nothingness as the water was absorbed back into his sleeves before disappearing...But the damage was still done. He looked at the broken mess in front of him and shook his head. Could he ever hope to get some peace at this rate? He said quietly to Seibi "...Mr. Kikaijin...please control your leader..." He walked to Anachayla and yanked out the doll - Eira out of her body and had it into a tight grip, ignoring everything else as he walked to Charlotte and gave it back to her. Without saying anything, he thrust the doll into the girl's hand and stood in front of them protectively. On one hand, he would have to make sure the situation didn't get out of hand, on the other hand, he would also need to make sure he could protect his teammates. He was a B-rank after all. He straightened himself, his height surpassed Charlotte's as he continued calmly "...if you deem yourself unable to control your temper...I must call Miss Lecarde...please act like polite people...and take this out somewhere else..."

Roady Domene


Roady continued his voyage through the front yard of the guild, until suddenly, a woman, who seemed fairly older than him walked up to him.
"Hi! My name is Shae, and I am a member here at Draco Edge, may I assist you with something? Sorry if it's a little loud in there, just a little bit of...festivities I suppose." She said to him. Roady gave her a blank look, completely drained of expression, and merely blinked in responce to her. He then noticed the woman, as it appeared that she began taking a closer analysis of him. He felt a tinge of irritation as she looked upon his hair with a strange look in her eyes. He felt like yelling at her. He didn't have to pay attention to notice her reaction to his chains. Especially since she mentioned them aloud.
"If you don't mind my asking, what kind of magic is requiring you to use those?" The woman asked him with a hint of inerest in her voice.

Roady opened his mouth to respond, but suddenly a man came out through the already opened guild doors. Roady didn't notice how much the noise intensified when they were open until now. The man appeared to be just slightly younger than Roady, probably around the same age, and clad in armor. He had a slightly darker skin-tone than Roady was used to seeing. 'He's been out in the sun too long.' Was his internal thought.
"Hey you, you with all the stupid chains and zippers. You think your hot stuff because you're the new guy and you're receiving attention from S-ranked mages like Shae who I've never seen with a man but that's besides the point, but guess what? No one cares, What matters is your ability to produce results for the guild. I hope you don't end up on my team. I have enough weight I'm carrying." The man all of a sudden started ranting at him. Roady maintained his deadpan expression, as not to give away any signs of weakness. He began walking up to the man, almost threateningly, but decided he didn't want to cause any trouble before joining the guild. He left the woman to deal with her own issues, taking the man's appearence as an excuse to evade her question about his chains. He took some interest in her. As for the man, he would have to deal with him first.
He walked into the guild, intentionally bumping Morien as he went. "As if I could care in the least if a high ranking member acknowledged me. I was actually going to ask if she was the guildmaster, seeing her power." He then took Morien's arm in a swift motion, staring intensly at the outline of it. "You're not nearly as strong as she is. I could see her magical power outlining her body without even looking closeup. Your's is pretty thin compared to her's. You're nothing but a waste of my time. And join your team? You don't have to worry about that. I work on my own, anyway. I couldn't care the least for the guild's funds. All I'm here for is making my own living off of solving other people's magical problems. If I get some useless item as a reward, I could definately donate(sell) it to the guild. See you around, "bastard." Roady gave him a michevious grin, as he finished walking into the guild.

(OOC Note: As I was describing in my 1st post, Roady's master Raith uses the word "donate" actually meaning sell. This is another habbit of his, that Roady has picked up in his lifestyle. Good influences, right? I will also edit Roady's profile to make it to where Raith taught him how to see other mage's magical power. Oh. And Roady called Morien a bastard, because as you should be able to tell by now, he tends to curse at the end of alot of his sentences. Not because of Morien's past. But it'll be fun to see how Morien reacts to being called that. Oh! And his reaction to Shae looking at his hair, is because she stated that it looked cute in her post, and Roady could sense it somehow. xD)

He looked around, noticing many strange, and weird residents occupying it. He saw the woman from earlier who now seemed to be tending to her own business in the guild. He decided to look for the strongest magic outline, and ask if they were the guild leader. He saw a variety of different outlines. Some were on pair with his, and even slightly more powerful. Others he had to get a closer look to make out. He even took notice of a small brunette girl, who seemed to be acting fairly mature for her appearence. Her magic power was very close to Shae's, as Roady remembered. He then looked through a window that must have led to the kitchen, notcining a well-built man. He was particularly impressive. As soon as he was about to enter the kitchen, something almost horrifyingly amazing caught his perithrial vision. He quickly turned his head to a large man, who seemed to be about as muscular as the one in the kitchen. But there was a kind of finesse that practically just screamed, "I'm the boss!!!!!!!" about him. Roady almost began shaking at the intense magical flow immeating from the man. Not only was it huge, but it actually seemed to continue spreading throughout the guild. It gave off a pressure, that was almost suffocating. 'How can these people stand this?! Are they somehow immune to his magic?! Just how powerful is this man?!' Roady thought, his eyes wide with surprise, and a small bit of fear. He quickly came to his senses, and shook his head. He took a deep breath and began walking towards the man, strolling cautiously. Once he finally made it to him, he spoke up.
"My name is Roady Domene. I am a former apprentice of the Caliber Mage and fugitive, Raith Kaleheister. I wish to join your guild and make a living for myself!" Roady yelled the last part out. He had been gradually getting louder as he spoke to the man. He was trully afraid of him. Roady had only witnessed power such as his from the dragon 2 years earlier. He had never thought to find it in a human.

(OOC Note#2!: I'm just making it to where Raith is somewhat wellknown, being a rogue mage and all that.)

Sandra R. Lecarde
Draco Edge: Bar

A smile shaped across her face as the bartender practically insisted that Sandra shouldn't bother helping out on cleaning what little mess remained. “Being an S rank doesn't make me important. It just gives me more responsibilities.” The woman stated rather casually, carefully sorting out which cookware had to go where.

She fully believed an S rank wasn't someone important. Albeit it did have that ring to it, it really did not mean 'important person' to her. Still, that didn't took away the fact she would be watched and stared at by various members of the guild. And that she was expected to be an example, of how a wizard should truly be. “Besides, us women need to stick together. Am I right~?” Conversations like this didn't need formal attitudes, and Sandra felt she could be a tad more girly around Kacie.

Upon the comical notion that the two of them should try and teach Mordecai a lesson in discipline and watching your steps, all Sandra could do was make a giggling noise. It would certainly be something, to see the big giant enter his mess of a room and forced to clean it all by himself. “Kacie, even if we'd be doing that. Men, especially Mordecai, won't ever understand the trouble we need to go through of cleaning up the mess they make wherever they go~” The woman responded, her tone a light and teasing one.

With the kitchen back to its original state, and Sandra having done her good deed for today. She was tempted to actually do what she had planned on doing upon arrival, trying to document her mission. Like she always did. Much like a journal, Sandra liked to document any important factors she had come across during said mission no matter how arbitrary. But, yet another predicament had to prevent her from doing so...

The two infamous trouble makers, Charlotte and Ana had once again began another barrage of petty arguments and taunts to brawl it out. Sandra had only been here for one hour tops. One hour, ONE HOUR! And already she could make ready, to prevent the two childish girls to turn the guild and each other into swiss cheese. “They're at it again. You'd think those girls would've been a bit smarter than this...” The young woman sighed annoyingly, nodding to Kacie before walking out of the kitchen and making her way to the 'table of chaotic events'.

Sandra appreciated Chowa's attempts to calm the two girls, but just putting them in their place by cutting the pointless brawl wasn't enough in the S rank wizard's mind. They've made a mess of things, and that couldn't quite go... unpunished. They've ruined a good table, they were going to clean it up. “How nice to see my two favourite members fighting it out, and make a mess of things in the process.” The woman approached the two teams that had just given the ruckus a momentary pause.

She shook her head in dissapointment. Couldn't she just go one day of sitting in the guild, without the constant rivalry between Charlotte and Anachayla? Her eyes darted back to Kacie, it wouldn't be her to clean this mess today. In fact, the bartender shouldn't have to worry with cleaning the bar after the party. “I think Kacie will be pleased to hear you two have just volunteered to, not only clean the mess you made. But help with cleaning the bar after the feast as well.”

Sandra turned to Chowa, noting that his shirt and book were permanently stained with coffee. Poor sod, why did he even team up with one of the girls if he hated their antics. Another disappointed sigh left the woman's lips, before turning back to the two culprits. “Now go and grab some towels from the kitchen to clean this wreckage. Not a taunting word as of now, or I'll make sure you two won't be going on missions any time soon.” Her voice was calm, but it was clear that she didn't take any arguments from Charlotte, nor Ana.

Cassadin

Cass dissolved his sword, the rose petals gently falling to the ground. He shook his head as Chowa became upset. He hated to see his friend like this, but with Charlotte, it was inevitable. He didn't know what it was about the two, but they seemed to constantly on each other's nerves, fighting like polar opposites. 

He saw Sandra approaching and bowed humbly. The woman's ability was legendary within the guild, so showing some respect to his superior was definitely wise. 

"I'll help you two." Cass said, volunteering to help clean the mess the two girls made. "It's not like I've got anything better to do.

Charlotte Leiss; The Bar


All of Charlotte’s satisfaction from Anachayla’s… vivid… response disappeared as an uncomfortable feeling slowly settled in its stead. She narrowed her eyes in irritation and fought back a scowl when her teammates quickly decided to leap into action. Her expression compromised itself into a between awkwardness and irritation. This quarrel, like all the rest of them, was just between Ana and her. Why did other people always try to get involved? “Cassadin, get out of the way,” she said. When he didn’t listen, she started to say more, louder, but her words were cut short. Charlotte flinched slightly at the tone of a different voice. Chowa. She glanced at him from within the binding ice… and that one look told all – he was a mere thread away from losing his temper.

And then he went on to say the most she’d heard from him all day… Something about boundaries, something about the training ground, but Charlotte didn’t care and tuned him out, focusing on her own aggravated thoughts. Why was he butting in anyway? Well the coffee stains on his shirt might give him a reason, but it wasn’t excuse enough for her. It wasn’t as if she’d even retaliated yet – that would have been a slightly different matter…

“I could’ve fixed that myself,” she told him when the water dragon slayer deconstructed the ice structure surrounding her. However, either he didn’t hear or chose to ignore her, instead approaching Anachayla and Seibi. She couldn’t hear what he said to them, but she knew one thing for sure – Chowa was meddling, and she didn’t like it one bit… but she couldn’t show it. Expressing things like anger too much never ended well and it exposed… far too much of herself for Charlotte’s liking.

She grit her teeth when Chowa abruptly thrust Eira into her arms, but otherwise showed no outward expression of her displeasure. She sighed, her miffed expression seeming more bored than anything else. It was awkward to have Chowa standing in front of her, almost protectively. It was unnecessary. She’d managed to make it this far alone – there was no need to start being ‘protected’ now. Feigning disinterest, she pulled her gaze away from him and to some vague point to her left.

…If you deem yourself unable to control your temper,” he said, “I must call Miss Lecarde.”

However, looking past him, Charlotte found reason to mutter, “Too late for that,” for the said person was already there. As a mage, Sandra had Charlotte’s begrudging respect. As a person, well, Charlotte never thought the two of them would ever be anything more than mages of the same guild. This little incident only seemed to confirm that fact. “I think Kacie will be pleased to hear,” the older woman said, “you two have just volunteered to, not only clean the mess you made, but help with cleaning the bar after the feast as well.”

… What was that?

Charlotte’s opinion of Sandra lessened further when the woman glanced at Chowa and sighed. Was that pity? For what? It couldn’t be just the coffee – if it was, Charlotte wouldn’t have felt so aggravated by the gesture. Holding back a snide comment, the girl instead decided to resituate Eira at its previous seat by the window, easily doing so with a few flicks of her finger. That’s when she noticed it… the large black and white ‘SILENCE’ that was sluggishly approaching them. It must have been moving for quite some time to get from where Theo was to as close as it was now. Although Charlotte could see it from her angle, she opted for keeping quiet about the issue. If she was lucky it would hit Anachayla. If she were luckier by a far greater degree, it would hit a certain S-rank mage.

Now go and grab some towels from the kitchen to clean this wreckage.” Now that was exaggerating – it was only a flipped table and a shattered cup of coffee… “- or I’ll make sure you two won’t be going on missions any time soon.”

I’ll help you two,” Cassadin suddenly cut in. “It’s not like I’ve got anything better to do.”

And that was a lie – the feast was almost ready and there was surely something for him to do. However, that was besides the point. Again, he was offering to help. Charlotte had noticed this about the guild in the few weeks she had been there now. Everyone seemed so eager to ‘help’… it was unfamiliar to her. She didn’t like it. She never knew how to react… so it was always the same response.

“I don’t need your help, Cass,” she said, looking over the mess. Clean up the result of that hot-headed ice mage? In all honesty, Charlotte didn’t see how she had directly caused this whole incident in the first place – it had just been a harmless joke that Ana took in poor stride. Well, not that it would take that long to tidy up… Charlotte had seen worse before. A lot worse… and the aftermaths of the feast would be at most… manageable… but really, the cleaning was the last thing on her mind. Rather, Charlotte began to think – exactly how should she play things to get Anachayla suspended alone?

The corners of her mouth twitched into the beginnings of a grin before she hid it behind her hand.

And then there was the other matter. She wasn’t about to apologize to Chowa after all the meddling he did, but the coffee spatter across his once white shirt bothered her… it wasn’t guilt. She was sure it wasn’t guilt… almost. Well, either way, there wasn’t much she could do about his book, but maybe she could do something about those annoying brown splotches. Nudging him in the side with her elbow, she said, “Give me your shirt." Matter-of-fact and directly stated - if she did it quickly, she could probably get the coffee out before it permanently stained.

Loritova


Loritova stood as a monument of the Draco Edge. He didn't even bother with participating in the pre-feast banter, it was all in good fun, or so he thought. He was honestly just waiting for Mordecai and Chayton to return, along with the numerous others who had still be out and about. He heard some commotion at the entrance and noticed that Mordecai and Chayton had entered the Guild with what appeared to be their spoils. He simply gave the duo a look of satisfaction that would say 'Good Job' all by itself. They both responded with a simply nod and continued. He also noticed that Ana and Seibi had returned from their recent mission. "Ah, everyone is slowly reuniting." The giant man smiled a hearty grin. Next thing he noticed was the large ruckus that Mordecai was causing in the kitchen, "Oye, that ape..." Loritova was joking as always, but still, he found that man to be something else. He continued to eye the room as he could noticed Sotofu walking over to Theo and the rivals, Charlotte and Ana bickering again. He even noticed the quiet day-dreamer, Elysia, creating her little fantasies in her head. 'So innocent...' He again grinned.

He again noticed how, quite literally, all the little chimps were gathering in the hall. He, as always, loved to watch the rivalries burn, it just lit his own fire. He chuckled quietly as Sotofu and Theo seemed to argue in their corner, and how Ana approached their new Dragon Slayer, only to be intervened by Charlotte. He laughed quite loudly as the duo began fighting. "It's good to have rivals such as that..." He faintly had a recollection to his own past; where he had his own rival on the battlefield. He noticed that Cassadin and Chowa seemed to join in on the fun of the girls' rivalry. "Oh fools." Loritova knew it was better to stay out of these little arguments those two girls started, after all, it was their way of training.

Alas, Loritova noticed that the vigilant Sandra stepped into the growing bout between Bittersweet and Ice Breaker. "Was that such a good idea, Sandra...?" He knew at this distance she couldn't even remotely hear his words, but still, the thought lingered. 'These little skirmishes that these little chimps make are part of their training... Without constant rivalry they'll never improve... Why not let them fight their issues out?' He began bellowing a stout chuckle as a new figure had seemingly entered the guild and presented himself to Loritova. "My name is Roady Domene. I am a former apprentice of the Caliber Mage and fugitive, Raith Kaleheister. I wish to join your guild and make a living for myself!" Loritova looked rather inquisitively at the small boy. "Raith Kelheister, as in the THE Raith Kaleheister, the Head of the 2nd Infiltration Sabotage Unit? That baffling ape is still alive?" Loritova was rather surprised at the news and laughed rather loudly as he stepped away from the balcony as to sneak out of the sight of the guild. "So you, Roady, are the apprentice of the Caliber Mage? I'd doubt that old fool would take in an apprentice, especially a young monkey as yourself! Anyways, pardon me, I just haven't heard from the old man in ages." He shrugged and recomposed himself. He hunched down, bending his legs so he could check out the boy rather effectively. He got face to face with the kid, eyeing him down. "You're welcome to join Roady, apprentice of Raith!" He released a hardy laugh as he gave the boy a firm pat on the back. "Welcome to Draco Edge, now go talk to Kacie to get introduced."

Loritova was always glad to check out new monkeys to add to his Guild. He just couldn't ever turn anyone down, it was virtually impossible, but he would always keep his eyes and ears peeled, just in case. He took his place, again leaning on the balcony rail. "I do believe it's almost time to start the feast, Kacie." He looked down at the bartender, grinning as he could easily see down her shirt, hopefully she wouldn't realize his precarious view.

Mordecai Cezaero


Mordecai knew he hadn't much time to cleanse himself of the blood of his spoils. He entered his room without causing too much ruckus. He grunted, looking around to a rather clean room. He took cautious steps towards the sink, hoping to avoid getting blood on anything. He rinsed his hands a grabbed new garb to cover his bare chest, knowing the everyone would appreciate his fresh change of clothing. He only had the one wardrobe for all occasions... his semi-transparent brown shirt that was already too small for him, it didn't do much except keep him a little cleaner than not wearing it. After replacing his bloody shirt with a new one, he decided to polish his lovely polearm. He immediately grabbed a rag and soaked it for a few seconds. Once it appeared sopping wet, he began cleaning off the thick red liquid from his spear, some of it having dried already. "Hmmm" Mordecai let out one simple grunt, not needing many words at this time. He finished removing the traces of blood from his spear and threw it onto his bed. Having completed everything he found necessary, he found himself presentable, as always, and walked out of his room towards the hall. He entered that bar only to find the end of some rather large... fight? He couldn't quite figure out what exactly happened, and to be frankly honest, it didn't mean much to him.

Elysia Avari Skylar


As she was walking away, Elysia was lightly scolding herself for getting so absorbed in her thoughts again. It was something that is both a curse and a blessing. Thinking of different scenarios in her head, that is. Once or twice, weaving a story in her head had helped her during the times where her father would do all his best to kill her with his long unreasonable litany. Aside from showering her with daily punishments during the times that she fail in any of the exercises or experiments they would make her undergo, her father also had the gift of tongue.

He will do everything to make the white haired girl to know how regretful he is to ever have her for his only child. He would always remind her that she will never get past D-Rank as a mage. He never failed to state that being an idealist and a heavy dreamer that she is, she will never ever gonna get friends or something near of sort. There had been more but growing up little by little she grew immune of his never-ending insults and instead had learned to focus on thinking of happy thoughts; hence the main reason for her daydreaming anytime that she could.

Of course her mother was always there to stand up for her, if it actually doesn't involve training and wholly testing her magical abilities. She would stop her father with few placating words and well-timed distractions. During those, Ely would hide behind her mother and wait until the moment Lysander stops and leaves to cool off. But once Elysia had learnt the truth about her past, she had realized that all along, her mother was also lying. For all she knew, Lakeisha, or 'Lacey' as what she's known is there alongside her father, laughing at how much failure and shame that she in spite of being the only second Sky Dragon Slayer next to the well-known Wendy Marvell of Fairy Tail.

Sighing as she noticed herself being lost in thoughts again, she lightly shook her head and let out a smile. She saw the ‘Silence’ sign ahead, most probably belonging to Theo and stepped out of its path. Dispelling all the negative thoughts of her parents, she then continued to approach the two boys and stopped near her team leader.

Sotofu Katsu and Theo Castille, just like Chowa and the others of team Bittersweet, the three of them also make up another team. She didn't know a lot about them. For the past months that she had been staying at the guild, aside from being assigned minor D ranked jobs, they haven't interacted that much. From what she had observed about them, during the rare times that she just found herself studying others (instead of daydreaming), she can say that they are both good people.

Sotofu, even though he is still younger than Theo is a good leader. It was obvious that he needed to learn more in order to be better, but for the white-haired girl, he is good enough. Theo, while he is noisy, is still also a mystery to Ely. He's rather detached--actually the three of them, but he takes it into a different level. She can't help but feel a little wary in his presence. It looked like he disliked her but Elysia is not certain with this assumption.

Now that the master had called everyone to celebrate, she figured that she might as well take advantage of the chance and get to know her teammates more.

"Yes, Elysia, what's up?" She smiled again and opened her mouth to reply when Theo spoke cutting her off. “Elysia, why don’t you join us? Sotofu has something important that he wants to tell us. Of course, I’m highly looking forward to hearing what type of amazing job he picked for us to do. Maybe -” He was about to say more but he suddenly stopped. And hearing the loud crash, she instinctively turned her head towards the direction of the noise.

Quite expectedly it was Anachayla and Charlotte locked in brawl or so it seemed. If the two weren't trying to win over the other with some form of competition or any other kind, they would also fight even about the littlest things. Even a few minutes with the other's presence can honestly cause them to be in a fight just moments later. It was different now though. If she didn't know better, the reason for today's argument is something unusual, something so unexpected... so sweet and so romantic.
“Kuroi Lightblade? It’s nice to meet you,” Charlotte spoke, an indulging smile present in her face. It was the first time that she had seen this guy. Judging from the confused and adorable lost expression in his face, anyone else can easily deduce that he is that newbie Loritova had spoken of. Studying his silver hair and black cloth embedded with various shapes, he looked odd. She wanted to know more about him but that blasted Ice Magic user is once again hogging all the spotlight. Popping out of nowhere and shouting the guy's name's after undoubtedly insulting her, Charlotte felt her irritation level rising.

She then used Eira to hug the girl and maybe help warm her up more than she allegedly needs. She was talking to Kuroi first! She wanted to learn something else about the newbie but it seemed like Anachayla is poking her unwanted nose in other's business again. Though Kuroi looked odd, there is some certain interesting aura with his character. Being new to the guild also added to that mystery, and Charlotte will try her best to unearth it.

Smirking at Ana's panicked expression she happily let Eira do whatever she wanted with the noisy blond. Now she can focus on interrogating Kuroi and not have to worry about that irritating ice magic user.

Anachayla was quite enjoying herself as she had been greeting the newest member of Draco Edge. Seibi was a great companion that was a given. Though there were only the two of them, they had already known a lot from their three months stay and because of that had a good working balance and strategy to be able to finish any mission effectively.

But now, staring at Kuroi's black attire, she felt inexplicably pleased. "Lightblade! You're a new member right?" She asked him and closed the gap between them. Prodding him endlessly, she then focused on his face. He looked handsome that's for sure, in a totally different light from Seibi. Seibi was nice to stare at but Kuroi undeniably looked better. She was about to observe him further, comparing the latter with her current and only teammate when that blasted doll user decided to intervene.

That annoying Charlotte seemed to be inserting herself in other's concerns once again. Giving the brown-haired girl a warning and a threatening glare as if to tell her to back off, she turned back to Kuroi and raised her chin, slightly in thought. There were too many interesting questions she can ask, and the guy looked nice and a little wimpy enough to answer all of those. Fluttering her lashes, she was about to ask him another question when something warm and unwanted had wrapped itself on her from behind.

Stifling an incoming shriek, her eyes widened in horror. Getting angrier minute by minute, not only at the thought of the clammy clasp of a familiar parasite chaining itself around her, but more-so of the fact that Charlotte was also trying to win the new guy over, she decided to retaliate. And retaliate she did, commanding her magic to conjure a 'rose bush' out of ice, she trapped the doll magic user in place.

The table shook and tipped along with the movement and she lightly blushed as she remembered Kuroi overlooking the scene from the sidelines. She really hoped that she didn't blew off any chance she had with him. If it wasn't for this meddling Charlotte, she would have surely succeeded with her plans.

Cassadin suddenly felt fearful as he saw what Charlotte ordered Eira to do. It wasn't actually Ana's reaction that bothered him so. Staring at their green-haired teammate from the corner of his eyes, he prayed to all the flowers and plants deities that he knew to not make Chowa angry. Though he did not like how close both his teammates are, being in this group for quite a while had helped numb the pain he'd been experiencing.

He really wanted to be the closest person more than anything there is to him... but if Cassadin can't possibly be so, at least he made it certain that he will be the other person who's ready and immediately accessible to come in rescue if Chowa needs him to.

The water dragon slayer on the other hand was still absorbed in his own bliss of having his daily conversation with Charlotte. Recalling the girl's brightly shining face as she flirted with him, Chowa almost let out a triumphant smile. Charlotte, out of the fan girls there are, is really the only one tolerable. It also greatly helps that she's his teammate, but her unnatural kindness adds into that factor which makes her totally different from the others.

He was suddenly burst out of his happy euphoria when an assortment of coffee and chocolate was showered to him and his pristine white shirt. Noticing thereon the two girls fighting presumably over the new guy, he narrowed his eyes. He covered his feelings by picking up his book and flipping it to inspect through some of the pages. Letting a dark growl in anger as he hid his irritation with Korderoy Lightbulb, he turned to the girls.

"...you two have stepped out of your boundaries, Miss Kaylorn, Charlotte...if you two want to solve your... disagreement... may I suggest the training ground?...The last time I checked, this is still a bar...not a ring for boxing...", he chastised and in a fond and calm tone as he said his leader's name as if to soften the blow. Though he was irked at Charlotte for being interested in that weird newcomer, he can't bring himself to fully get angry with her.

"...welcome to Draco Edge, Mr. Lightblade...I hope you are having fun..." He then added sarcastically to Kuroi not really caring about hearing his reply. He wasn't worth losing a head over. Sooner or later, Charlotte would undoubtedly lose interest with him and Chowa will just have to wait until that happens.

He dissolved the ice around the brown-haired girl's body and absorbed it into his sleeves. Shaking his head in disappointment, he lightly scolded the gray-haired Lightning Rod and yanked the doll off Anachayla.

He walked back towards Charlotte and stood in front of her protectively. He wouldn't dare let anyone else harm this girl. Not only is she his teammate, but also because she is one of the most important person he has in this guild. If that stupid Kuroi didn't dare come here, things wouldn't progressed into this.

“If I could, I would.” Seibi answered afterwards, he was feeling left out as Ana focused on that aggravating new comer. Though the blond can be unbearable at times, Seibi can definitely say that he had rather grown fond of her. She had that certain charm that can only be seen if you try to know her more. While Ana seemed reckless and always taken by her temper, she also has that kindness, dedication and persuasion that undoubtedly tugs the gray-haired man's heart.

He would have been totally content, with them and only the two of them in a team but that troublesome Lightblade decided to show face.

Sighing at the mess, he figured that it would be easy to study this guy if he will be in their team. Teams are usually composed of three members after all, and if this Kuroi wanted to snatch Ana away from him, he will do his best to prevent it before hand. He focused on his lollipop first before eyeing him directly. “So, before she was interrupted, I do believe Ana was going to ask you if you were wanted to join our team. So how about it?”

Everyone in that little scene had something in one way or another wanted to achieve. Charlotte and Ana are both highly interested in getting Kuroi's, the new guy's attention and because of that it had been thoroughly testing their teammates' patience.

Chowa was not only infuriated with the coffee stains but also at the amount of focus Kuroi had been getting from his dearest leader. That is also the case with Seibi, he was glad, having the total attention of the blond ice user before but now that utopia was certainly being threatened to be destroyed by this... this little runt.

Elysia was about to approach them, ready to resolve the incoming crisis after Chowa's warning when a certain someone went out of the kitchen. Blushing madly at the sight of her beloved Sandra, she just settled on staying in place and watched what the brown-haired woman will do.

Elysia gaped at her brightly shining aura and listened as she lightly scolded and punished both the arguing girls. "You shouldn't make war both of you!" *Kyun* *Sparkle* *Kyun* "Fighting would not be able to resolve the conflict you two have!" Sandra gestured to Chowa's appearance and then to the three other guys. "Look at him, I'm disappointed with the two of you," She added pouting and shaking her head in disappointment. "Ana and Char, Let us all make some peace and not war..." She paused her statement, as if readying for the another big announcement and said in a cutesy tone, "As a punishment, I want you two to clean this mess."

Sandra turned to look around and when her eyes caught Ely's amber ones, she smiled. She went towards the shorter girl and gently grabbed her hand.

"Are you hurt Ely?" Her voice was full of concern, and she studied the girl further for any signs of injuries. Elysia calmly gave a shake of her head, "No, Sandra", she stated charmingly.

"Every hurt I have is now gone once I saw you again."

"Good, because if you are, I'll surely punish those troublemakers more", Sandra cupped the younger girl's cheeks in her hand and started softly caressing it.

"I don't ever want to see you getting hurt Ely."


Flushing red at her imagination, she raised both of her hands into her cheeks. She threw the S Rank mage a look and immediately turned away in embarrassment. Sandra is really the best in the entirety of the whole Earth Land. Her shining countenance, her quiet strength and her maturity, and her never-ending dedication to delegate peace all over Fiore; and everything else about Sandra Lecarde makes Elysia Avari absolutely more smitten with her.

Still smiling she turned back to her teammates, having witnessed the whole scene-albeit in a totally different light, Elysia focused on both boys. "Hello Sotofu and Theo!" She stated cheerily beaming, it was really up to Sandra to save the day. She knew full well that no one had been hurt with the earlier scene and because of that decided to suppress the calling to examine and do a checkup as what is normal for being the medic of the guild. She thought that if any of them had needed any medical assistance, they would surely promptly go to her aid.

"Are we going to discuss about our team name now? And... what did you meant by an amazing job?" She slightly cocked her head sideways in wonder and waited for an answer.

Sandra R. Lecarde
Draco Edge: Bar

It did not surprise her, not one bit. It was obvious that the two did not appreciate Sandra's interference. Or maybe it was the punishment. Either way, they knew when to shut their taunts, and carry out the task that was given to them. The S-class wizard had noted Ana's remark, but choose not to act on it. The girl knew very well that she could've just ignored the attack.

Both were to blame, not one, not neither. Ah, what has passed, is the past. No need to dwell any longer on such a small predicament. All these things, the pointless brawls, clumsy accidents, and yelling were what made Draco Edge... well, Draco Edge. And without it, this guild would be your average non-interesting wizard meeting house.

As Sandra made turned around, she gave the guild master a stern glare. As if to say: 'Why didn't you interfere?' Though that answer was clear. Loritova may not reveal much, but most intentions were clear as day. Rivalry made people grow, Ana and Charlotte were no exception. They are great wizards, if not a tad impatient with everything. The young woman finished her quick stare down by nodding at the large, muscular man that was their guild master. And made way to her room...

Loritova
Draco Edge: Bar

Today was the day. The day he had been preparing for all month, which was short considering it was only the 9th of October. But yes, today would be a rather special event. The old man was fond of such things, especially the ones that involved every member to run around like a dull sheep such as this one. “Mission Impossible.” The thrill of excitement crawled through his whole being as he muttered them.

It was an event that would test the skills of the little monkeys that were gathering underneath the balcony. Well, sort of. It was mostly an event for the guild master's own amusement. Watching his followers squirm as they tried to complete an almost impossible task. He scratched the red hairs that held onto his chin while anxiously waiting for every member to gather in the bar.

When the last monkey had gathered with the rest of the guild members, Loritova rose his muscular arms above him announcing with a deep and loud voice: “Welcome everyone!” He paused, walking closer to the steel railing that was part of the balcony. “Today, is the day. No doubt you have all heard of 'Mission Impossible', and are most likely eager to hear what I have planned for it.”

Loritova rested both his arms on the railing, eyeing each member with a content expression. “First, let me explain the basic rules. Each of you is split in teams of two, whatever team completes the task first is the winner, and will receive a special reward that I will announce after the contest.” Another pause followed, the old man was now slowly walking along the steel railing, eventually meeting with his followers downstairs, at the bar.

“Anything goes in this event. Should a teams cross paths, they are allowed to disable one another in combat. Whoever loses the battle will forfeit the contest, and is to return to the guild-house and wait for the others to finish.” The red-haired man paused again, slowly walking towards a basket made out of straw that contained the names of Draco Edge's members. “You will each pick a piece of paper. One this paper you'll find two names. One is your own, the other will be your partner's name.” Magical appearing words, yay!

As he continued speaking, Loritova approached each member to let them grab a piece of paper. “Do not, under any circumstance, reveal your paper while still in this house. Failure to do so, will automatically mean you forfeit the contest.” He paused, tossing the straw basket onto the counter. “At precisely 12 O'clock, you will all be transported to a path assigned to your team. There, your task will be revealed.”

“That will be all. Good luck, and I will see you all when you return here.” The guild master went back to his usual place, and patiently waited for every member to be transported to their assigned path.

It was time, one by one, every Draco Edge member was transported to their starting position. It had begun, Mission Impossible...

Sandra R. Lecarde
Draco Edge: Sandra's Library Room

With a deep, exhausted yawn, the young woman woke up from an rather uncomfortable slumber. With a lazy hand running through her oak-brown hair, the woman's eyes glared at an opened book, and then slowly wavered from left to right as their owner realised she had fallen asleep while documenting the information that was gathered on the last mission.

The wizard let out another yawn, and attempted to navigate her way through the mess of books, and scrolls. Her long hair, that was now releaved from the two tails, swayed back and forth as Sandra stumbled into the claustrophobic bathroom. What was today, again? Or.. was it even day?

The woman made sure to take a peek out of the small window, to conform it was broad daylight. She really had slept through the night this time, which meant... Ah, Mission Impossible. Sandra had hoped to avoid this day. As much as she loved the guild, her explorer mind did not want to partake in something as unimportant as that.

But, sneaking outside wasn't an option. Not now, anyway. The wizard quickly undressed herself, and took a minute to wash up. After wasting enough time to dry her hair, and ponder about what task, Loritova had thought of for their first 'Mission Impossible'. Sandra dressed herself back into her clothes/armour, and sheathed her broadsword on her back. Then, hastily made her way to the bar to hear about the rules, task, and... Her 'partner' for today.

Okay, she did not despise teaming up with someone. In fact, weren't it for her desperate attempt to prevent a certain choice. The S ranked wizard would gladly drag someone on S ranked missions. Still, she doubted that anyone would even want to go with her. Every missions the young woman ever did were 'S'. I tad difficult for most of the members. Not to mention the duration for some of those missions. They could take days, weeks, even months to complete them.

Sandra shook her head in confusion. Why did she make such a fuzz about this event? She said so herself, while traveling back to the guild, that it would be great to interact with the other members again. Even though the first interactions were punishing a certain duo... In fact, this would be a great opportunity to test whoever she would be assinged to.

Maybe she'd get lucky, and be assigned to one of the newer members? This... Kuroi guy she heard about, he was rather new to Draco Edge. Then there was this... Rookie? Ronny? Robby? Whatever... That young, impatient little prick who had joined to guild yesterday. Honestly, Sandra would've kicked him out the minute he stormed in. Upon those thoughts, the woman muttered the words: 'I even wonder why you've allowed him to join. Skill, probably. But his attitude is not something that will help the guild...' Of course, these words were indirectly talking about the guild master...

The female wizard let out a deep sigh, before approaching the mass that was surrounding the balcony on which Loritova stood. It was time to announce the event, and the rules that came with it...


Draco Edge: Bar

Just in time. Sandra had barely managed to take her regular seat(Next to the large counter), and already Loritova was beginning to announce everything that was related to 'Mission Impossible'. The reward did not mean much to Sandra. It would probably be one of those annoying 'Keep doing your best for the guild.' sort of prizes. Or maybe a warm hug from our Guild Master. Really, it could be anything.

Nor did the rules make any impact on the S ranked wizard. It was your standard list of rule. Don't do this, you are allowed to do this, combat related rules, ya-da, ya-da. We've all heard it before. What was more of interest, was who Sandra would be teamed with. And that was soon to be revealed. Her small hand ruffled through the papers that were thrown in the basket. Not that it mattered which paper you picked.

Slowly but surely, she unfolded the blank piece of pure-white. First, her own name appeared on it. 'Sandra, Rose Lecarde.' They even bothered to include her middle name, how cheery... Then, the second name. 'Elysia Avari Skylar'. Ah... the little sky dragon slayer. Sandra knew that much. With a glance, the S ranked wizard carefully examined the young girl that was among the large crowd of Draco Edge members.

She was... a D rank, if that was recalled correctly. This was both a surprise, as well as something interesting. Sandra was unknown with Elysia's abilities, nor was she familiar with they way the young girl handled difficult situations/missions. The young woman carefully slid the piece of paper into one of her shoes, and patiently observed the eagerness of other member, until she to, was 'teleported'...

Elysia Avari Skylar


"Remember my words, my darling... You will come back to me soon, Elysia."

Sitting up abruptly from her position at the edge of the green-covered sheets of her bed, Ely woke up in a snap. Still remembering the lingering traces of her latest nightmare, she suddenly felt a shiver run through her spine. Looking around in a frenzied haze, her eyes were wide and alert. "My darling..", the air seemed to whisper around her and it took all of her control to stop the scream that was threatening to come out of her mouth. She quickly dived under the sheets and grabbed the pillows around her, as if making a barricade out of those.

She tightly hugged herself and covered her face with one of the big pillows. Even while wearing her modest nightgown, a pale sky blue-colored pajamas set, she still felt totally exposed. Due to her good memory, she can vividly recall every facet of her dreams. Seeing the sneering smiles and calculating leers, she found herself revisiting her life before becoming a member of Draco Edge Guild.

Those white walled rooms, well-ventilated and equipped for everything a person may need but thoroughly designed to keep someone locked indoors...
The topnotch security system and various rooms filled with bustling people always busy with either new tests or checking around for suspicious activities...

Without a doubt, just thinking about it scares her wits off.

She stayed that way for quite some time, crouched in her bed and tightly hugging the pillows. Her amber-colored eyes roved around every particular direction of the room she can see from her position and her ears totally alert and ready for all the sounds or noise she may hear.

She didn't knew how long it passed, since she was roused off her sleep, but she didn't care. Staying still and chanting words in her mind are the only ways she can do to get the bad pictures out of her head.

Experiments. Laboratories. If there are two words that can solely terrify the white-haired Sky Dragon Slayer into oblivion, it would be no doubt these two. Since childhood, she feared this particular facility not only because of the intimidating paraphernalia but also mostly because of those who usually reside and control the place.

Shaking her head as if to make the thoughts go away, she slowly but surely started to calm down. She knew that mean time, this fear of hers is illogical and superficial. It had been quite a long while since she ran away from 'home', and ever since then there had been no sign of her parents' shadows. She knew full well that Lacey and Lyse would not be able to get hold of her now that she's here at Draco Edge. Aside from being a licensed Guild and managed by such person as Loritova, she's certain that her mother and father are not stupid enough to let themselves be in the center of attention by attempting to get her back.

She deeply sighed and looked at the clock near her bedside table. Aside from the basic necessities such as a bed, a table, a drawer, a bookshelf, a chair and some odd knickknacks here and there; one can see that Elysia's room is somewhat nearly bare. She had been planning to decorate her room, however since she is currently working on a small flower garden at her room, this idea had been put on hold.

She looked around and smiled warily at nothing in particular. It wouldn't do her any good if she will continue to let herself be tortured by a nightmare. After all, she should have been used to it by now. In fact, ever since she had left her parent's influence, she had been having these horrific dreams in varying degrees, every night.

Sometimes things end happily for her, where she was finally able to avenge the death of her real parents and their guild mates. Though most of the times she will always also dream about being captured and made as a guinea pig by her beloved mother once again.

Removing the covers away from her body, she shakily stepped both of her feet at the ground and aimed to go towards the direction of the bathroom. Passing over a marked calendar on her way, she noticed then the date for today. It was the ninth of October and is without a doubt the dated day for that Mission Impossible, the master had informed them about.

She let out a small smile as she remembered the fire magic user, opening the door of the bathroom, she entered inside. It will be best for her to just forget about the worries and focus on the task today.

That is if she can help it.

► = ♀ = ♪ = ♫ = ◄


“Welcome everyone! Today, is the day. No doubt you have all heard of 'Mission Impossible', and are most likely eager to hear what I have planned for it. First, let me explain the basic rules. Each of you is split in teams of two, whatever team completes the task first is the winner, and will receive a special reward that I will announce after the contest. Anything goes in this event."

As she heard the master started to explain about their activity, she hastily snapped herself into focus. Vanishing the remnants of her most recent daydreams, she turned to the large stature of the guild master and listened closely to his words.

He had informed them that they will be divided into pairs and will be assigned a specific task later on. Pouting a little and fighting the urge to groan out loud, she settled on placing both of her arms into one of the many tables in the bar and leaned on it.

It wasn't as if she hated the other members of the guild. She actually liked each and everyone of them. Not only because they are such nice individuals but also because based on her three months stay here, she had known how much of interesting people they all are. The thing that she actually disliked though-- aside from hearing anything about someone's love for science, will be teaming up.

It wasn't anybody else fault though. There is just something in her that doesn't sync well with regards to working with others. More often than not, it had something to do with her inherent inability to be focused and keep on a steady track when doing a particular task.

She went over through the list of her options of possible partners silently in her head and slightly lowered her head. Ely noticed that aside from her, everyone else seemed to be skilled and talented, especially in their own area of specialization. Unlike her. She only knew how to heal and when in a group battle or anything of sorts, she's usually the weakest link in the team. Such thinking made her unintentionally remember her mother's last words. "Of course! Your true parents have been a so much of a failure so it is just to be expected that you also turn out as one."

Pushing the negative thoughts once again, she raised her head and studied the others around. The straw basket was now being passed and having seated near the counter, she was one of the first people who immediately got a piece of paper from it. Holding the paper in front of her chest, she then motioned to open it with silent trepidation.

She truly wished that her partner had the patience far longer than what is normal or else even from the start they would surely lose this. The thirteen year old girl is undeniably rather bad at accomplishing tasks in hasty and rushed manner. She usually takes certain amount of time to finish particular activity and that is with all of her maximum effort present.

Slowly opening the paper, she held a mix of impatience and fear as she turned to look for the name of her temporary partner.

She literally felt the wind got knocked out of her as she stared dumbfounded at the words she read. Feeling that same hyperventilating experience creeping over her senses, though this time with a different reason, Elysia is torn between jumping out in joy or hiding into the comforts of her room.

It seemed as if winds are blowing in her favor; stopping herself just in time for the incoming shriek, she decided on beaming widely at the master. She sneaked a look at her partner and waited for the moment that she will transported. It wasn't long before she too, like the others, had been transported to the path they are assigned.

"I'll do my best, Miss Sandra!"

Sandra R. Lecarde

Center of the forest, left from the river

Feeling a tad drowsy from the transportation, Sandra tried to analyse her whereabouts. A forest, what forest? Resting her left index-finger on her chin, the female wizard pondered for a moment. The large forest that was separated by a river that flows from Clover Town's lake, to Akane Beach was the most logical one. If they were done, locating the guild would have to be easy. And even Loritova would be that crazy to let his underlings walk for a bazillion miles.

Nodding to herself, Sandra unstuck her back from, what she thought to be a rock. It wasn't until her first attempts to get up from the grassy field, that the woman felt something pulling her back to the ground. It wasn't her weapon, because she had realised it had been transported somewhere else. Funny enough, it appeared right after the woman opened her eyes, and they spotted the sword leaning against the bark of the tree right in front of their owner.

So, what was it then? Inching her head to take a look at what was behind her, Sandra found that she hadn't been resting her back against a rock. 'Twas her 'partner' for today, the little Elysia. “Oh, crud...” The both of them were chained together by a magic leash that was wrapped around their waist. Gently nudging the young Draco Edge member, Sandra found her attention turned to something that was being imprinted in her memory.

“The two of you are chained to each other, and are to climb to giant tree that is on the other side of the forest. Climb it, and pluck the apple-looking fruit that's located on the very top of it. Oh, and girls, wind magic isn't allowed.”


The so called 'impossible' task, that they were given. Well, if Elysia is going to be a problem,it would sure prove a challenge. “Honestly, this is one of the many reasons I rarely visit the guild.” The female wizard shook her head, and waited for Elysia to get a move-on. They had a whole route ahead of them...
