Yay! A new chapter!
I'm sorry that I haven't updated. It's just that it has been pretty much for me with the school start, and I kind of sprained my wrist first thing on the monday last week. So it was very hard for me to write properly. But I'll try to write more, and to be more careful...
Chapter 2: The Pirate Tribe
The two blondes were confused, she'd just disappeared? The woman in a green cloak, had they just imagined her? Was it an illusion? No, they had been talking to that strange woman, and it had happened.
"You heard her! Let's start looking for that guild, shall we?" Jeris said to his companion and grinned. He had no idea if the woman was right, but it was an opportunity to find a guild. A guild that might be great, or not.
"Are you sure?" Edward sighed. Strange women were one thing, but taking strange tips from strange women? Well, let's just say that it wasn't his favorite. And they had been in this situation before, it always ended with Jeris not liking the guild when they found it. So Edward wasn't that happy about trying it again, he knew it would end the same way.
Jeris gave him a disappointed look, "Yeah, of course I am! But we have to get our things" he said and started to walk towards some stairs. These 'stairs' went to a corridor with many doors that led to different rooms. Edward and Jeris had stayed some nights at the inn, so they had their bags there.
Half an hour later, they were wandering around in the dark forest outside of Calmar. And, of course, they had no clue of where to find the mysterious guild, since none of the citizens gave any good directions. Jeris didn't understand how hidden caves or valleys had anything to do with a guild. Except, maybe, as a location, but that was highly unlikely. Who'd have their guild in a hidden cave? And wouldn't that be very hard to fit?
They continued to walk around the forest, finding one interesting thing after another, but nothing about a guild. Edward started to doubt that it was real, they had almost cleared the whole forest. But his friend didn't seem to care about the low odds, instead he just got more and more energy to spend on searching. It probably had to do with the young age. Jeris was only fifteen, and Edward was five years older, they had quite the age difference.
"Wait, is it just me or are you trying to tell me that we're lost?" a voice suddenly said from the other side of a bunch of bushes. Jeris and Edward immediately decided that it came from a female.
"Well, maybe? It's not like I have a map or something" another voice, probably from a male, said. The two blondes were now hiding in the bushes, watching the scene carefully. And they had been right, it was a girl in the age of twenty and a boy who probably only was a year younger.
The girl had her hair in a high ponytail, it was in a very light shade of blue and her eyes was in a matching tone of dark blue. Her skin was pale, which was completely different from the boy, who had a slightly tanned skin tone. His hair was short and messy in a shade of charcoal black with some highlights in violet, but his eyes was something special. While others had normal colors, like blue or brown, he had eyes in a color of dark violet.
Edward was on his way our of the uncomfortable bushes when the girl spoke again, "Why don't we ask them about then?" she said and pointed her finger towards Edward and Jeris, "You know, it's not nice to eavesdrop on strangers" she continued and walked up to their hiding place. The girl grinned at them before dragging them out of there without any second thoughts.
"What are two travelers like you doing in these parts of the forest? You should know that it is dangerous to be here" she continued in a mocking tone. The boy that was with her sighed at the sight. He remained calm and didn't say anything.
Edward was on his way of telling them when Jeris interrupted him, "Why don't we start with introductions? I'm Jerran and this is my friend Edwardo, we were on our way to the town but aren't that good at reading maps, so I think we're lost" he lied. The girl seemed to believe what he said and nodded. But if you watched her a second longer, you could see her smirk in a way only villains do.
"Well, then! I'm Cari and that's Dan, we could give you directions if you would let us have a look at your map" she said and smiled. The boy, who was now known as Dan, chuckled at the sight. But you could easily see that he knew something, and that fact annoyed Edward a lot.
Back at Titan Springs
"Jane, you didn't have to go all out, you know that right?" Tiger sighed, most of her friends were lying in the guild's infirmary thanks to the young woman beside her. This woman had long black hair in a braid and dark brown eyes. Her name was Jane Mirada, another member of the Pirate Tribe and the second most feared person in the entire guild.
What amazed people most about her was that she wasn't an s-class mage. She was unbelievable strong, but she had ways to go. George always had to explain that she was missing the ability to hold back, which was quite true. Jane didn't like holding back, she felt that to get stronger you need to have experience, but of course she wouldn't hurt her friends that bad. The longest someone had had to rest was a week, so you were lucky if you got away with some broken bones.
"Now, Lily, real women don't fight over simple ice cream. And you know that I didn't go all out, then they'd been dead by now" Jane said and grinned at Tiger, or Lily as she sometimes was called. Tiger sighed again and turned to the others for help. She couldn't handle this situation alone, and hoped that she she'd get some help.
Sadly, they were only five at the table where she sat, two being Jane and Tiger, one Natalie, one Brandy and the last one Ashton. Nightmare couldn't join them because of the bar, Bonnie was currently unconscious, Matthew had retreated to his room and the other people that usually were with them weren't there yet.
Brandy smiled at her two friends, "Well, you could have gone a little bit easier at them, and only half of them are women!" she complained. Jane always lectured about how 'real women' should act, even if it was a man, but you got really tired of it after a while. And she never stopped with it.
"Anyway, Jane, where's Sannah? And Daniel should also be with you, right?" Natalie asked the younger woman, who just shrugged at the thought.
Sannah Zaccarihas and Daniel Stylez were the two last members of the Pirate Tribe. They usually came with Jane and didn't get into too many fights. Out of these two, Sannah was the s-class mage. She had joined the guild quickly after it was created and saw it as the home she never had.
"They were going to search for something in the dark forest, I did tell hem to get here as soon as possible, but they're probably lost... Again" Jane said as she glanced at the door. They definitely were lost, everyone who knew them knew that. The question was, when were they going to get back?
I know, I know... This chapter was pretty short, and not too well written... But as I said; I haven't been able to write that much, so this was just me wanting to finish the chapter.
Well, one of the mystical women appeared! Isn't that great? Well maybe it isn't... If you have any questions or so, just pm me! And if you want to complain about something, feel free :)
The oc submission is currently closed.
That is if you're doing a normal oc or a villain that becomes good, I guess? Because I'm more in a need of evil, really evil, villains...
