It was a rather nice day, only a slight breeze coming from the North. Alice sat in the space that used to hold a whole and beautiful stain glass window, no doubt depicting a momentous biblical event. All that was left was shards sticking out of the wood that held what used to be in place.
As per usual, Alice was adorned with what exposed her best. A cropped gray tee, a micro-mini skirt and a snug pair of brown combat boots. She hadn't felt like doing much with her hair so it was down, reaching past her bottom and ending strictly at her knees. She was currently sitting on her hair actually. But since she had full mobility of her head, she didn't care to be honest. All her mind was occupied with was why she was sitting in a church with her guild mates. She wasn't the first to arrive, but she certainly wasn't the last. The only occupant was the other Shadow Keeper, Von. Then the others began to trickle in one by one.
The sun was shining in through the window, warming Alice's back with the breeze right there to cool her. It was almost too nice of a day. "You are looking as wonderful as usual," Gabriel said, materializing next to his Keeper. Gabriel was Alice's demon, a handsome man himself. Well, when he was in his human for anyways. Other than that, Gabriel was a Shadow without any definite shape. Alice was currently watching her guild mates from above, flipping her favorite box cutter in her left hand and propping herself up with her right.
"Oh, I know. I wanted to be prepared in case something happened."
"In case you needed to entice someone with your alluring figure?"
"No, in case I need to move. Less clothing I wear, less restriction."
"So why don't you fight naked?"
Alice gave Gabriel a look. He knew exactly why she couldn't. One, she had asked and the Guild Master had shot her down so quickly it wasn't really fair. Two, Alice believed that with the teasing way she dressed, it would distract more than if she was fully naked. With that, the two fell silent, continuing their perched observation, Alice's eyes dull and dead, Gabriel's a brilliant blue-green that shined with excitement. In the middle of a long yawn, a giant blue dragon covered in fur and feathers broke through the roof. The girl simply covered herself with her Shadow Fire, anything that flew at her would simply pass through and become paralyzed. Besides, there was one monster and six of the Guild members ready to fight.
Something strange happened however. All the creature did was deflect their attacks, not creating any of it's own. That was when Alice allowed her Shadow Fire to disperse, knowing that this was an obvious distraction made by friendly fire. Otherwise the creature would be attacking them. "Tsk," the sound escaped her pursed lips.
A burst of cold air sent a shiver up Alice's spine and the familiar feel of the old door feet below her opening didn't really surprise Alice at all. "That's enough. Let's not wreck the building anymore than it already is." The dragon creature shrunk in size and flew into the doorway where a man awaited. "You can all call me Kain and the dragon here is my demon, Orion. I'm your new Guild Master. Got any questions?" Alice remained quiet.
I don't see why I should care. Doesn't effect me whatsoever. It'll be the same old shit. We all get missions, Ill be the only one to do it efficiently and right.
