Guilettos Harmien's Story

Guilettos had just gone out and harvested as much greens he could find in the forest just behind the inn and still exhausted from yesterdays battle for the quest, he decided he would try and get a decent room at Revanwhite Inn.
He stumbled through the welcoming doors, managing to shove away the few herbs in his pockets. The lady at the front was smiling at first then started to giggle when he came barging in. Finally he made his way to the counter and straightened himself out.

"You're out late! What can I do for you?", she asked in the normal service-woman tone that most workers used.

"The cheapest room you have would be best!", he answered enthusiastically which was followed by a loud exhale and a crooked grin.

She flipped through some papers and found him an empty slot for low pay. "Here you go sweetheart", she handed him a little brown slip of paper,"Just head left and go straight down the hall towards the library. To your left will be the door to your room. Have great night and hope you sleep well!", then she waved him off white a smile.

Guilettos glanced down at the piece of paper and read the room number while heading the direction she had instructed him to go. He stopped at the end of the hallway and turned his body slightly to check the room number. Suddenly he turned around to the sound of rustling paper. Catching sight of a man flipping through books and scribbling stuff down on a sheet of paper, Guilettos wondered how long he'd be there. What he was writing down didn't really come to mind, but he hoped that the man wouldn't be there for too long.

*Click* The door to the room opened and swung open freely on its own. He walked in and inhaled happily, taking in the surroundings. It seemed cozy and nice enough to stay in for the night. Dragging his feet along the way, he walked over to the bed and let himself fall down without any hesitation and instantly grinned and closed his eyes as soon as he hit the warmth of the snug bed. "Ahh...." he sighed contently and felt himself dozing off into the abyss of deep slumber.

Footsteps, tapping, clicking heels. "Bah!", Guilettos had only slept for around an hour before constant commotion began just outside the door. He was a light sleeper and this never ending disturbance was way over enough to wake him from sleep.
 "No wonder this is the cheapest room!", he muttered quite annoyed, but it's not like he could blame anyone. He did in fact ask for the cheapest room and all the check-in lady did was follow his request.

He sat there, legs folded and his eyes were staring at the door. It was almost like he was trying to use mind control on getting anyone on the other side of that door to be quiet. 

There are many things that Guilettos can tolerate and his patience level is longer than the average, but becoming sleep deprived from nonstop noise is a whole new thing. 
His expression was quite creepy to look at. Panda-like eyebags, shirtless, messy white haired man, jaw sagging open while drool dropped out of it. His eyes were unblinking as he continued to stare at the door.

Finally, he dragged himself out of the room, his back bent into a slouch. He pushed his arms out towards the ceiling and yawned. Manners as of now was not anywhere near his mind. Guilettos reached down and scratched his stomach, the while library lined in front of him. Various people were waking around not just upstairs inside the library, but his keen sense of hearing also picked up noise from the level below. 'Damn it!' he thought as he bared his teeth. He reached deep into his pockets and pulled out some peppermint leaves,'Maybe having a nice hot drink would be good for me'.
Making his way silently down the steps, he observed the bottom floor, but saw no one in sight, but the check-in lady. He shrugged and asked where he could get some hot water.

She blushed slightly at his shirtless figure and quickly scurried into a door behind her, returning soon after with a cup of steaming water. "Here..", she said softly, passing him the cup.

Guilettos didn't notice her shy reaction and just took the cup and sat down on a bench nearby, dropping the greens into the water. He smiled as it began to change into a yellower hue, the minty scent filling his nose. If he couldn't sleep then might as well observe people coming in to stay.

Sitting patiently and observing he watched as a cute ashen haired girl suddenly appeared from the left-side of the check in and went up the stairs. He noticed that she had quite a satisfied smirk decorated across her face.

Bluntly drinking his tea, he rested both elbows on his knees and haunched over. 
Suddenly another figure also dashed a few minutes after her yelling, "Fire! Fire!" and then running up the steps to follow the blue vested girl he'd seen earlier. 

The check-in lady began to panic and hurriedly slammed at a button which set off an oversized bell just above the hotel to start swinging side to side, creating a loud 'DING-DONG!'. 
Almost every main building here had one of those to warn about things such as fires. It was a sort of alarm to tell others that something was happening.

Guilettos stood up from the bench and calmly placed the tea down. He jogged up the steps and decided to grab his belongings before various townspeople would come and start throwing buckets of water into the room just below his. After all if the fire got worse then he'd be ready to evacuate.

As he approached his room towards the library, he stepped into his dwelling and saw the two 'girls' (Guilettos thinks Ciel is a girl) from earlier.

OOC:You two (Almond and Ciel) are in the room closest to the library. That happens to be Guilettos's room xD Just wanted to pop in a little twisty there.

Ciel pressed his staff firmly against the assassin's throat, careful not to actually hurt her. As usual, he would avoid a fight if possible, but if a push came to a shove, he wouldn't hesitate to take action to stop her. Examining her, he noticed the hilt of a dagger concealed in her boot, and noted that she would probably do the same. He had heard tales of the white devil's legendary skill. Even if the newly arrived man helped him, Ciel silently wondered if they would really be able to defeat her.
Undaunted, he held his staff firm. No matter what the danger, Ciel knew a simply fact. There was right, and there was wrong, and Ciel would always stand up for right. He would not be compromised, and he would never, ever, give in.
"You endangered innocent lives when you started that fire," He said calmly, "If you aren't looking to kill anyone, then what are you trying to accomplish?"

Now he was really confused. The blond girl suddenly went attack mode on the little white haired girl while she shouted angrily at her for starting the fire. He decided that he needed to cool things down a bit. Slightly placing each hand on both of the 'girls' shoulders he said in an alarmed voice, "There's no time for this right now. You two can fight later, but first we need to get out of here". He grabbed and gathered his things quickly and slipped a shirt on. Tugging the pair of ladies he hauled them out of the burning inn just before the flooring of his room started to get black.

Guilettos shuffled down the staircase, both girls still in his arms. He had them both dangling  off the ground just under the crook of his elbows like he was bringing in a couple of pigs to a slaughter house. The check-in lady was already outside and he hoped no one was left behind as he struggled to breathe in some fresh air.

Somehow though he seared through the smoke with black soot covering the three survivors, but at least they escaped safely without any major burns or injury.

Alice couldn't figure out how to respond to the man's query, should they help? No, no that would attract far to much attention to herself...
Alice plucked the cigarette from the man's mouth, took a puff of it, looked behind her, no guards, then threw it into an alleyway, "They don't take to kindly to outsiders here... so I say lets just move on, away from this commotion..."
At that moment three figures, one man, a feminine-looking boy, and a small girl charged out of the building, the two men were not that interesting, but the woman she recognized, she was the White Devil, the only contract she was never able to complete was out on her. Knowing this, Alice tugged the man down an alleyway, as to avoid the girl, even though Alice wore a mask the one time they had met, it was better to be on the safe side and avoid a scene.
"Come on, lets avoid it," Alice said looking up at the man and smiling.

Ciel sighed in relief as the last guest to the inn burst through the wall to safety. The inn would probably be completely burned to the ground in a few minutes, but everyone was safe. Pulling himself out of the white haired man's grip, Ciel landed gracefully on the ground, taking a moment to wipe the ash and soot from his hair. Quickly he checked his bag for his journal. He had left most of his notes behind, but as long as his journal was safe, most of his discoveries would not be lost. It was shame that the man pulled them out so early. There were good intentions behind his actions, but with just a little more time, perhaps the inn could have been saved. The odds would obviously be against Ciel in this, but he had a talent for shifting the odds in his favor.
He sighed. It would be no use wondering about the past like this. All he could do is learn from it for the future. The man's intentions were good, and that was what mattered.
"Thanks for pulling us out." Ciel smiled gently, "Please don't let go of the elf though; I need to talk to her later."
Turning towards the crowd of recovering inn guests, Ciel walked over to the man who kicked through the inn wall. Even though he was the last one out, he was in surprising good shape.
"Are you alright?" Ciel put his hand on the man's shoulder, subtly channeling as much healing energy as he could into both the man, and the crowd. There didn't look like there were any major injuries, but perhaps he would still be able to help, even just a little.....

Guilettos tilted his head to one side, but was pleased that his efforts were well appreciated. He did follow her instructions on keeping the white haired girl in his hold. He did remember her saying that this innocent little thing started the fire, of course he doubted it, but he wasn't going take any chances on letting her free if she did in fact start the fire.

Keeping his firm grip on the dangling figure he was slightly taken aback when a man suddenly kicked down a hole through the building and landed safely. This made him wonder if there was actually anyone still in there. He hoped that no one was. It would've been a painful death at that.

"Are you alright?" a feminine looking man said towards Feng as he placed his hand on Feng's shoulder, feeling the energy pass through his body, "I am fine, there is no need for you to use your energy on me." Feng said, "I wonder what might have happened, everything was fine while I had fallen asleep..." Feng said looking at the building. Feng could sense the strong spirits all around the area, 'We're gathering all of the ones in search of it at least...this is no coincidence.' Feng thought, then heard a slight cry for help, his ear twitched trying to find the source of the cry's, "Help, Please!" Someone said while coughing from the top of the building, it was a small boy with his mother, "Someones still up there!!" one of the townsmen said pointing at the roof, Feng looked clearly seeing the figures, but there was no way to get to them the first two floors where set into an inferno no one could go inside without dying themselves. "Somebody please help them!" people said as they started to panic, "Tch! they will die of suffocation soon." Feng said.

Feng took a impressive jump, then used Geppo to take another jump and so on to get to the roof, he grabbed both of them "Its okay, I'm here to help." Feng said, and grabbing both the boy and his mother in his arms, seeing they where at the brink of passing out Feng jumped of the edge of the building; as the floor neared Feng used Geppo to stop his falling and only feet from the ground to fall to a gentle tap, he placed both them on the ground, "It's going to be okay. Anyone I need help over here, if not these two might die." Feng screamed, seeing if there was anyone around who could help these two people...

Guilettos looked down in slight alarm as the short figure in his hold started to wiggle in discomfort. "Sorry, but I'm afraid not my dear. Apparently, according to that woman over there, you had started the fire.", he shook his head disapprovingly at the platinum haired female, but he did adjust his grasp a bit to make it less awkward for the two of them. With his other hand, he grabbed a peppermint leaf out of his pocket and started to munch on it like a donkey. 
It was quite a sight, the inn a blaze in angered fire and scorching heat. He watched as various townspeople gathered, many ran about with buckets of water as they tried to put out the fire. Seeing as it had died down comapared to before, it was clear that their efforts had not been wasted. It wouldn't be too long till only slight embers and a soot covered black-ish building would be left behind.

He then turned his attention on the tiny group that was starting to form to his left. The female from earlier, the man who saved the woman with her child, and a another man who helped heal the other sickly people. 
"Sorry to raid on your little party here, but I think you should take care of the 'criminal' first", he held out the blue vested girl in front of the three, even barely believing himself that this poor innocent looking thing was what caused this tragedy.

"Criminal has she done anything wrong? She doesn't look capable of doing anything wrong; And I will not punish anyone that doesn't seem like a potential threat." Feng replied, he wanted to believe that the woman didn't do anything wrong from the bottom of his heart; because he has seen people even children kill, it breaks his heart to but then the woman said "Take it easy. I knew no one was going to get seriously hurt. Why do you think I set that room on fire first?" Feng sighed "You can't know that for sure, if it wasn't for me two people would have died I myself would have died if I had not woken up. Also that library housed records, ancient books on Haven culture and society, knowledge that most would kill for, and you just burned it." Feng said.

Feng also rushed to the woman's side "Ciel she's alright, right?" Feng said slightly agitated, seeing blood agitated him bringing back unpleasant memories, "We need to get her to the hospital or something, she might be sick I don't care if she's the White Devil or not she still has a right to live." Feng said. Though he trusted Ciel was a great channeler that woman needs to rest, best place for that would be the hospital at least that's what Feng thought since the inn got burned to a crisp, then Feng felt something a presence a killing urge so great it felt like someone had a blade thrusting it on Fengs throat "Kilers intent..." Feng mumbled, "We need to get out of here know, its not safe." Feng said

Suddenly, the platinum haired little girl started to cry in his arms. He shuffled uncomfortably and felt bad for holding her hostage in his grasp. She did admit though that she had been the one to set the building on fire and that alone posed as a threat. 

Guilettos shook his head in response to Ciel. He didn't know who she was and wasn't aware of land past the borders of Trailwhisper. He'd grown up in there and wasn't permitted to leave and that's why he had taken up the challenge to find Sanctum Prime. The only problem was, he didn't know where to start.

Guilettos's eyes grew big in alarm as she coughed up some blood and went limp like a sack of flour. "You're right. I have a bad aura coming from this place.", he agreed with Feng and was willing to follow the group wherever they lead him. Who knows, maybe they would help in his quest for the Sanctum.

Shen stretched out his hand, "I'll help out too," He offered,
"Thanks, but it's alright." Ciel lifted his hands away, opening his eyes, "She seems stable. Personally, I think she just needs some rest for now."
Gently lifting her up, Ciel turned towards Feng and the white haired man, "The church I grew up in is near this area. She can stay there, and I know a priestess who will be able to help her."
Nodding for the others to come along, Ciel quietly smiled to himself at the thought of being able to return to where he was raised. He had only visited once since leaving Haven. It would be nice to see Charity again.
Charity White was the head priestess of Haven's church, and was no less than a mother to Ciel. Even though they didn't share blood, she had brought him up as if he were one of her own. The adoption was never made official, but the two of them were still a family, bound together by something that transcended both blood and birth.


The church was an old, simple building of stone and wood, topped with a metal cross at the highest point of the bell tower. A small reading garden stood beside the building, with a fountain and a few benches in it's center. It wasn't anything fancy or awe-inspiring, but it had a peaceful feeling that was all it's own, and a relaxing aura that almost seemed to bring a sort of sanctuary to it's visitors. In some ways, the church embodied the essence of Haven more than any other place in the town.
As the doors creaked open, Ciel, still holding the unconscious elf, rushed over to a frail looking old woman tending to the altar. A smile brighter than any other from that day spread over his face.
"Charity....!"
For just a moment, all the hardship and pain was forgotten, as a mother who had never given birth, and a child without any blood parents of his own, reunited for the first time in years.
And for just for a moment, despite all the strife and conflict of the day, there was peace.

Guilettos strolled along with the group till they reached a halcyon church.  For afar it didn't look like much other than a dreary old church, but when you get a better feel for it, the aura that waved from the creaky building was quite relaxing, almost to the point of drowsiness. Noticing the garden beside the rugged structure, he had the sudden urge to go and rest there for awhile. It looked so welcoming and it looked like a place to enjoy freedom. Though the thought was tempting, he decided that staying with the bunch was a better idea. Feeling that this was all destined and was headed somewhere at some point.

He was half glad that Ciel had finally taken the little girl out of his arms. The first half because his joints were starting to ache from carrying a load for too long the other half was because he kinda felt sorry for the girl. Being passed around like some doll or something. She seemed to be taking in all the happenings without hesitation and as of now looked trance fixed on staring at the palm of her hand.

"Charity....!"
Turning his head up, Ciel's voice and mood lightened like he'd just found something he'd lost in ages. Guilettos's eyes landed on an elderly lady that gave off the same vibe as the church itself.

Alice was usually surgically precise when it came to her anonymity, which is why she couldn't understand why she let the man live... She tried suppressing the thought all the way to the church, but she couldn't, as she moved her mind wandered around the idea of NOT killing him, why? She had never had that feeling before, she had always killed, but why not now? She slipped into an alleyway and pulled out a knife, she cut her wrist, the blood slipping down into her fingertips, quelling the nauseating feeling of not killing the man. Putting the knife away she returned to the street, blood still seeping down from her wrist.
The Church was within sight, the large spire towered over the rest of the town. She quickly moved to the entrance, she peered through a small crack in the door, there were four men, one was holding the White Devil, unconscious. And here I thought this would be difficult, Alice thought to herself moving away from the door, listening in on their conversations.

Feng smelled the scent of fresh blood he slightly narrowed his eyes as he heard someone stop on outside the door of the church, 'I wonder who could it be? And the smell of fresh blood, I can't be the blood of the woman, then its coming from outside.' Feng though, "I'm going outside for some fresh air be careful guys, I'll just be outside if anything happens." Feng said with a smile and started to walk outside "I need to investigate for a minute, it could be someone hostile." Feng mumbled. Feng then reached out to open the door.....

Feng opened the door seeing a slight trail of blood, 'Someones injured?' was the first thing to come to Feng's mind he looked around then decided to follow the trail of blood having his guard up, who know what might happen. He walk's over to the garden seeing another woman, and her hands covered in blood, Fengs eyes widened "Are you okay?!" Feng said slightly running to the woman seeing her wrist had been cut open, without a second thought Feng grabbed the woman him his arms, "We need to stop the bleeding or you'll bleed to death." Feng said and jogged inside the church saying "Do you have any cloth and alcohol? She has a deep cut in her wrist and it might get infected." Feng said, walking up to the others.

The man played right into her trap, coming to her rescue like the typical heroic archetype, how droll, he whisked her inside the church, injured and in such a great need of help, of course she didn't actually HIT the artery, but they didn't need to know that. Once she was brought close to the others, she let out a pathetic whimper and said in a low voice, "Help me.... please..."
She saw the White Devil. She shouldn't be able to recognize me without my mask, but I'll be on my guard if need be, she thought to herself, ready to pull out her knife...

Glad to hear that the young girl would be fine according to the two, he was a bit curious to why Feng had asked to be excused so suddenly. His thoughts were quickly answered when he came running back into the church, but this time with a female elf. She was someone he'd never seen around Trailwhisper before, but she looked the type to be born there. 

The elven lady's wrist was cut really badly and Feng asked for some type of disinfectant. Guilettos remembered the herbs he'd picked from the forest earlier and rummaged through his pockets for a few. "This should help quite a bit..", he held out a dark green herb with speckles of violet on the leaves. This would help with easing some pain and encouraging the injury to rebuild itself to full recovery. The greenery would also assist with keeping dirt and bacteria out of the cut and maintain the cleanliness. She whimpered in pain, but to Guilettos's surprise, he saw blood dripping from the side of her waist as well. ((The blood on her leg is from the knife she hid. This is a twist for them to find out that the wrist cut was self inflicted))
