X785- A Convoy of Merchant carts where walking through the deserts of Ishgar a large convoy of more than twenty carts inside one cart was a young girl of just three years old. "Along with her mama. "Mama where are we going" asked the young girl. "It's a surprise" said the woman has she pushed her daughters nose. "Mama I don't like surprises the young girl said has she crossed her arms in a huff.
"I know Paris dear but it's a surprise for me too" said her mother. "Really?" Paris asked her eyes wide. "Yes" said the woman with a smile.
Suddenly the cart came to a sudden stop. "What's going on Mama?" Paris asked "I don't know wait here I'll check it out" said the woman stepping out of the cart.
"Regina get back inside said a mighty looking man wielding a large hammer a group of twenty or thirty men around him each and everyone of there eyes focused on the young man of about sixteen with long unruly light brown hair, golden eyes and skin tanned by the desert sun the man before them wore a no sleeve tunic with a pair of beige pants.
"What's going on" the woman now named Regina asked has she brushed her silver locks out of her eyes. "My name is Karifin Jones I am one of the four Seraphs who guards the god of this here desert" said the man politely introducing himself.
"Well we need to get to the city of Ramakin we have goods to deliver there" said the hammer wielding man playing diplomat. "I do apologize but I cannot allow that for in order to get to Ramakin one must first pass through my lords city of Sabaku and I simply can't allow such riffraff to pass through said Karifin has he held up his index and middle finger and then swung them to the side.
Blood gushed all over the desert sand has the heads of many men where taken off there shoulders." W-What was that" Regina said fear evident in her voice. "You damn demon! shouted the hammer man has he tried smashing Karifin. "I'm no demon I'm a Seraph I am an Angel" said Karifin has he easily caught the hammer with one hand.
"Karifin then pressed his hand against the mans chest unleashing intense pressure crushing the mans organs one at a time his friends tried to help but found themselves unable to move the force of the mans power holding them in place
"You are no Angel you are a creature of pure evil!" shouted Regina. "Good and Evil, Love and Hate, Angel and Demon, Gods and Devils, Black and White there all two sides of the same coin sure to you I am a Demon sent from hell to kill you all but to others I am a Angel sent from heaven to protect Sabaku from an invasion said Karifin has he wrapped his hands around her neck and began crushing her airway.
"I'll tell you my magic before you die it's called slicing magic I can slice apart anything in my field of vision" said Karifin. "Then why didn't you just kill us all and be done with it "asked Regina. "What would be the fun in that" asked Karifin has he squeezed tighter. "And before you ask no this isn't magic I'm just really strong said Karifin before he heard the sound of a snap and dropped the woman's life less body to the ground.
"Mommy!" Paris yelled running to her mothers side. "Oh my a child you should've stayed in the cart now that you've seen my face I no choice but to kill you said Karifin has he raised his fingers and got ready to bisect the young child down the middle.
But before Karifin could finish the job a fist slammed into the side of his face sending him sprawling on the ground his jaw broken from the impact. "Why is the guild master of Sphinx's Riddle interfering with the affairs of King Sabaku" asked Karifin.
"Because I can" "Why is it that you find it necessary to kill a child" asked the woman with long reddish brown hair. "Because I can said Karifin with a creepy smile has he swung his fingers trying to slash Paris in two but the woman threw a punch and completely broke apart the magic then before Karifins heart could even beat she slammed her fist into his nose making blood gush from his nostrils.
"You stained this sand with the blood of innocent people you scum!" the woman shouted you dirty whore! shouted Karifin has he caught the woman by surprise cutting off her arm. Suddenly strings of blood shot out of her bleeding socket and grabbed her severed arm reattaching it.
"When I'm done with you you'll never be able to use magic" again said the woman punching Karifin in the chest making him cough blood and his chest indent just a little. "I heard the tales but I thought it only a rumor so the master of Sphinx's riddle really is a beast whose power defies all logic" said Karifin.
"My name is Mahogany Grace" said the woman who wore a black cloak over a sand colored blouse and some tennis shoes on her feet. "Well then if I can kill such a monster then I'll be a legend said Karifin has he swung his fingers again in attempt to cut the woman apart again.
"What the?" Karifin said in shock has nothing happened she didn't even punch the attack like she did before she just stood there an nothing happened. "I told you before you'd never use magic again my magic punches have the power to permanently destroy a mages magic circuits" said Mahogany.
"Come young one I'll take you somewhere safe" said Mahogany turning to the small child crying by her mothers side. "We must be going now" said Mahogany. "But what about my mommy!" Paris shouted.
"We'll bury her in town and I'll also find some people to take care of you" said Mahogany. "I wish I could take you with me but I sense no magic in you and it will be much to dangerous to bring you into the Sphinx" said Mahogany.
"Come we must be going now" said Mahogany.
Hours later- So Karifin you come here looking Pathetic wallowing in defeat and not only that you lost your magic is that right asked a man who looked to be in his seventies with a wrinkly bald head and a long nasty looking beard on his chin he wore robes that looked to be made for royalty. "Yes I'm sorry your majesty" said Karifin. So you mean to tell me you are completely useless said the man has sand covered his hand.
"Wait king Sabaku I can still be of some use" said Karifin. "Sabaku suddenly wrapped his wrinkly hand over Karifins mouth and began sucking the youth from his body has Karifin got older and older Sabaku got younger and younger until the man who was once old and weak was just sixteen years old with dark black hair and brown eyes.
"Aw to be young again" said Sabaku with a smile. "He looked down and saw the remains of Karifin a small pile of dust. "Someone sweep up this trash and get me some new clothes! shouted Sabaku has he hopped off his throne.
Meanwhile- Mahogany watched in silence has Paris buried her mother next to a large boulder sitting a top a giant sand dome. "I'm sorry for your lost" said Mahogany. "You see that town down there that's the town of Urasha I was raised there go to Granny's house she'll take care of you" said Mahogany with a smile.
"Will I ever see you again" asked Paris. "If you can find me or my guild" said Mahogany has she lept into the air. "Paris watched in aw has a giant lion made of sand came through and caught her in mid-air...
"The Sphinx Paris" said in aw.
Fifteen years later X900 Walking through the desert sands a woman with long silver hair and bright green eyes wore a cloak over her head and goggles on her face to keep the desert sands out of her eye beneath the cloak she wore a black tank top with a pair of red jeans and some black mid-heel boots as well has a black cap. strapped to her hip was a utility belt filled with potions
There it is she said has she saw the Sphinx running through the desert sand a woman with reddish brown hair sitting on top of it. "I need to catch up she thought to herself pulling out a vial of blue liquid from her utility belt and drunk some suddenly she felt her body get lighter has she ran across the desert in break neck speeds.
"She stood in front of the Sphinx looking up at the massive creature who stared back at her. "If you want to enter the Sphinx one must first answer one of my many Riddles said the Sphinx staring at the mortal in front of him.
"All right bring it on!" shouted the young woman. "What Belongs only to you but others use it more than you?" the Sphinx asked. "Aw come on ya old fart give me a hard one said the woman. "I'm waiting on an answer" said the Sphinx. "Hey don't you rush me I'm thinking here" she shouted. "But I thought it easy" said the Sphinx. "My name! it's my name!" shouted the young woman.
"That is correct said the Sphinx has his paw opened up revealing a set of stairs leading inside. "I knew you'd fine your way to us Paris said Mahogany has she leap off the top of the Sphinx and followed Paris inside.
"Alright fellas! this here is the new comer! Paris...Paris! "What's your last name?" asked Mahogany. "It's Triplett I use potions" said Paris introducing herself. "Welcome to the guild miss Paris said a woman about twenty-two years of age wearing an elegant white ball gown with golden tassels she had long blonde hair and a masquerade mask covering her eyes.
"I'm Elizabeth Munich one of the Triviairs the strongest members of Sphinx Riddle" said Elizabeth. "Glad to meet you" said Paris. "Where do you want you guild mark" Mahogany asked. "Right here beside me shoulder blade said Paris pointing to her shoulder blade on the right side of her body. "Paris I'll say it again welcome to Sphinx Riddle said Mahogany with a smile. "I wish we had time to celebrate but the dark guild Burning-moon has been active has of late there guild master Juro is quite dangerous said Elizabeth. "I don't care about some dark guild I just wanna defeat the man who ordered the murder of my mother said Paris. "King Sabaku and his Four Seraphs are not to be messed with they are out of your league said Mahogany. "That man and his pawns have killed thousands of people both good and bad has a member of this guild I'll help with Burning-moon but even if I have to fight alone has soon as I'm done I'm taking out that evil king said Paris.
"Your with us now which means your enemy is our enemy" said Mahogany with a smile...
