Thank you everyone who sent OCs and those who read and reviewed on my story. It means a lot to me. And this chapter will introduce Kaze no Kage by ReturnOfDarthVader13, Maximilian Shadowblade by Baseball, and Hysteria Cadenza by Scarlette Shizuru. All the other OCs will be in the next chapter and there are two spots remaining. Anyway, without further ado, let's go on with this chapter.
A spiky black haired boy was walking down the street with his little exceed. The white haired, red bellied cat-like creature was walking down the street with his friend.
"I believe the guild is not far from here Max," the exceed said.
Max nodded and continued down the road. He wanted to start over from his life on coning. He wanted to try again, that's why he was going to the guild New Beginnings. He heard it was a pretty good guild.
"Oh my gosh it's so cute!"
Max saw a flash of blue and then heard Frost's yells of protest. Holding the little exceed was a little girl, six years old at the least. Her hair was blue, so that explains the blue flash.
"Hey, hey! Put Frost down," Max ordered. The girl quickly dropped Frost. The poor exceed was dropped so quickly, he didn't have time to brace himself for the impact of the ground.
"Sorry, I was on my way to the guild when I saw the exceed. There's another member with one, but this one's just as cute!"
Max re-winded the conversation in his head. She said guild and there was only one guild in this town.
"A guild you say?" Frost asked.
The girl nodded. "Yeah! My mom is the guild master. If you want to join,I'll show you the way!"
The girl grabbed Max's hand and started skipping toward the guild. She turned around when she was dragged back by Max's hand. She turned to see that he had not come yet."
"You want to join the guild don't you?"
Max nodded his head.
"Well come on!"
Max allowed the girl to take him to the guild.
"I'm Cantrelle by the way," the girl said as they came closer and closer to the guild.
She opened the door and yelled out, "We have someone who want to join, Mom!"
All the members turned Cantrelle and Max. Max felt a little uncomfortable with all the stares at him, so he just looked down to the floor. He saw shoes on the floor, black boots to be exact, and looked up. The person was no doubt Cantrelle's mom, so she must be the guild master.
"Hello there I'm Master Jenna, and you are?"
"Maximilian, and this is Frost," he pointed to the exceed that was being hugged once again by Cantrelle.
"Cantrelle drop Frost and go play," Master Janna ordered. "I'm talking to the new members."
For the second time today, Frost was dropped onto his furry little butt.
"Sorry about that, she gets a little excitable about somethings."
"I've noticed," Max said.
"But back to you, you want to join New Beginnings and start over correct? Or is it you want to join a guild?"
"I want to join New Beginnings to start over," Max told the Master.
"Alright, where do you want your insignia?"
Max raised in eyebrow. She's not going to ask about his past, what he's done before he came here.
"So no questioning?" he asked as she came back with the stamp.
"I'm not one to pry for information," she said. "Color?"
"White and on my shoulder," he said showing his shoulder. He felt the cool stamp press on shoulder and when it as removed, there was a white half sun symbol on his shoulder.
"And what about you Frost? Where do you want yours?"
"On my back in red," Frost instructed.
Master Jenna placed the insignia on the ecxeed's back. "Glad to have your joined. You can stay on the second floor until you have enough money for your own place. You can talk to the other members, go on missions, or do anything else. I hope you enjoy your new start."
Master Jenna gave both of them a hug, which Max and Frost tried to escape. But it was no use, Jenna was going to give anyone a hug, whether they liked it or not.
Kaze was sitting at a table by himself. The light brown and grey eyed boy was watching his exceed play with the guild master's daughter... he had had forgotten her name. Ai seemed happy carrying the young girl around the guild, and Kaze was ok with that. Kaze really kept to himself and Ai, Ai tried to help Kaze open up to the rest of the guild.
"Hello Kaze, nice to see you again."
Kaze looked up to see Cantrelle sit next to him with Ai in her lap. He gave a smile to both of them. If Ai was happy with this girl, then he was fine with it too.
"Ai was telling me you guys are about to go on a quest. Is that correct?"
Kaze nodded. He needed to get more money to pay rent, and he also needed a little adventure in him. He's been at the guild to much and he was starting to get a little bored.
"Aw, I wanted to play with Ai a little more. Can he stay with me? I promise I'll take good care of him," she said hugging the exceed close to her.
Kaze shook his head. "I need Ai to help me on the mission."
Castella breathed a sigh of sadness. "Alright, be safe though."
She hugged Ai tightly, then hugged Kaze. He raised in eyebrow, but didn't push her away.
"Oh right! Someone just joined and he has an exceed too!"
She waved and skipped up the stair, probably to talk to her mother.
"Thanks!" Kaze called after her.
Ai gave him a smirk.
"So your opening up?"
"Whatever," Kaze said going over to the mission board. He surveyed the mission boards and found the perfect one .
Mage(s) Wanted
We need someone to defeat a band of bandits in Elmore City. Please come as soon as possible. They're terrorizing the town.
"Alright Ai, we found our mission, let's go!" Kaze said as he started to exit the guild.
"Right!" Ai said following his friend.
Hysteria woke up from he bedroom in the guild. She looked over to see that her roommate had gotten up already. The 18 year old girl shrugged her shoulders before getting up. She dressed herself in her usual outfit, a black tank top, short cut cargo pants with cuffs at her knees, and black high cut chuck taylor's. On her hands were black fingerless gloves, and she was wearing silver short cross dangling earrings. She walked down to the first level of the guild and sat down at the bar.
She gave a wave to Zina, and Zina put a plate of eggs and bacon in front of her.
"Morning Hysteria," she said before going back to serve the other people around the bar.
Hysteria looked around the guild watching everyone and what they're doing. Kaze and Ai just left the guild, probably for a mission. And there wer new members sitting by themselves. She thought about going over there, but then decided against it. She was a quiet and the only people she really talked to was the master and her daughter.
"Hi Hysteria!"
Speak of the... angel (I can't use that phrase on Cantrelle. She seems to innocent). Hysteria turned to see Cantrelle standing next to her. Hysteria waved and allowed her to sit in the chair next to her. Cantrelle reminded Hysteria of her younger self. When Hysteria first entered the guild, she was covered in scars and bruises. When she was released from the infirmary at the guild, she sat mostly with herself. She didn't really talk to anyone except Master Jenna, and that was like a silent understanding. Then, Cantrelle came to the guild when she was three. She had walked straight up to Hysteria and tried to get her to play dolls with her. This surprised Hysteria because she was still covered in scars and bandages and she thought she would scare the girl. But nope, Cantrelle gladly played with her, mostly because she was used to people with bad past joining the guild. Now Hysteria has become protective of the girl.
"Hello Cantrelle, how's it going?" Hysteria asked the younger girl.
"Trying to hid. It's nap time."
Hysteria giggled. Then she stopped. All sudden memory came back to her. She hated the sudden memories. She went to when she was with the military academy and she was sent to assassinate a rich family. The memory was vague, all Hysteria could see was blood. Blood everywhere. She started thinking herself as a murder, which she was. She didn't belong here, she belonged in a jail. Then she started shaking.
Hysteria couldn't remember how long she was shaking, until she felt hands on her shoulder. Slowly the shaking stopped. Hysteria looked up fearfully to see Master Jenna. She had a warm smile and kind eyes. It was usual for Hysteria to get random flashbacks throughout the day. It was better for her to stay in the guild than get her own place.
"There, there," Master Jenna said. "It's alright. We'll protect you."
