Hello! I am new to fanfic. I am a fan of lots of other games/anime/manga/movies, so expect lots of references to them.

I do not own any type of vocaloid/ anything I reference.

IA pulled her silver scarf higher up her face, nearly obscuring her nose. The snow fell in rushes around her, clinging to her face or eyelashes occasionally. The horse she rode plowed its hooves deeper into the lightly gray snow. The snow was so thick, she could hardly see past her horse's head, so she had to depend on her compass for guidance.

"Hey," A familiar voice resonated. IA turned her head around to the sound of it. Despite the snowfall, she could clearly make out who it was. Kaito sat on the horse next to her, his ridiculously long bangs falling directly into his eyes. His hair, so black it was blue, had a white hat messily stuffed on.

"Aren't you cold?" his voice held a trace of worry.

IA, unconcerned, looked back at her compass, pointing northwards. "I'm fine; all of us are cold, so when we arrive at the Mengurine house we'll rest," She said with confidence.

Kaito turned back to where they were trotting. "I still don't get why they chose winter, of all times to work for them. The Forlic mercenary group rarely takes operations around this time, don't we?"

"Yeah, but look at the sum they gave us. 500,000 Lorins. If someone could give us that much and still have a roof over their heads, we must be dealing with the upper class here. The way upper class," IA explained.

Kaito let out a sigh. "Yeah true, this is twice as much you and I could make in 5 lifetimes,"

"Correct, now let's move on,"


When they has finally rode through the bitter cold path to the Mengurine household, The Forlic mercenary group was greeted by two figures who stood in front of an imposing iron gate. A long brick wall extended from the left and right of the gate, seemingly never ending in the blindness of snowfall.

Upon closer examinations, IA could see blonde hair dropping out of the hoods that covered both of the figure's heads. One of them lifted their face them to IA and she was shocked at the weight in her eyes; she looked like she had just seen everyone close to her perish in hellfire.

"Hello," the girl greeted quietly. "I am Rin, one of the servants sent to greet you when you arrived. I presume you may be the Forlic mercenary group?"

Kaito leapt off his horse and trudged up to Rin. She was nearly as tall as he was. "Yes you are correct. I am Kaito, co-leader of the Forlic mercenary group, and the one on the black horse is my fellow leader, IA."

The boy then took his hood off and IA got a better look at him. He has blonde hair tied neatly back into a short ponytail, long bangs, and sea blue eyes. A scar erupted from the upper right corner of his cheek to the bottom of his jaw. He was tall as Kaito was, and seemed to sway in the snowfall's wind. He looked like Rin, but by no means girly.

"Good evening, I am Len, brother to Rin and a servant to the Mengurine household. I humbly welcome thou to the Forlic mercenary group," He spoke so softly IA could hardly hear him.

Rin suddenly then pulled a silver key from her coat pocket and inserted it into a keyhole in the iron gate.

"Greetings set aside, this is the Mengurine household, one of the aristocratic families in the country of Loriha. We have been sent to tell you while on the job, Al Mengurine wishes to state you will be complying by the rules, and breaking of any rules will result in an immediate suspension until further notice."

The gate creaked open to a cobblestone path covered in snow by the sides.

"Welcome to Mengurine," both spoke at the same time.

Ahaha, it was so fun writing that w. Anyway, I will try to upload whenever possible, which means on a weekly basis at the least. Also this be only the beginning, so I hope you stick around for more!

PS. Since I am new, can anyone tell me how to add new chapters? I don't know how...
