Me: Finally back!
Fara: Yay~!
Crellia: Heehee~
Gem: *puts hands on her hips* well then shall we get on with it?
Me: yes yes~ one last thing~ In this chapter I'm gonna reveal a little something in this story~
Aquaria: On with the story. *bites into a crepe*
After about a full thirty minutes of waiting, Grimoire walked out of his office, and sighed slightly. "Now, time to see what they want." He walks down the stairs in a regular pace, not in any hurry at all.
Meanwhile, Gem had dealt with the little scratches on the two brothers and had walked out with them, looking good as new, and sat down, with a gentle smile on her face. "Now, that that's over with~ Mind telling me your reasons for coming here?" she asked the Chase and Fara.
"Well, we'll tell you when the guild master gets here." Lire said softly. "Meanwhile, how about we get to know a bit more about you two, and the guild master while we're waiting?" she offered.
"May as well. I'm Gem, I practically handle the guild when our lazy ass master, Grimoire, is out of commission, or he has a job to do. So basically I'm the second in command here. I also have to make sure that he doesn't fall asleep on the job." she sighed. "He just can't help but fall asleep in the middle of work... I feel like his babysitter...!" she spoke while sounding a bit more angry.
"Must be tough." Zero said, finally uttering a sound.
"No kidding." Gem leaned back a bit on the chair she was sitting on. "Crellia, your turn."
"Right~ You guys already know my name but, I'm Crellia, I deal with the plants and nature in this whole village. I'm just one of the regular assassins in this guild, really~" She said smiling.
"Can you tell us how you know Lass?" Lire asked.
"Well, he and I are members of this guild, and friends also~" Crellia said simply, with her pink and purple ponytail swinging a bit.
"Ah, now it makes sense." the elf said in an understanding manner.
"What about the blue haired girl? Who's she?" Fara asked, a bit curious about the girl.
"That was Aquaria, she's a crepe lover, and always does her daily swims without delay. She just absolutely loves the water." Crellia explained.
A loud splash, made them turn their heads. Aquaria had jumped into the pool. "Wanna watch her?" Gem asked. "She's pretty good."
"Sure~ Why not?" Fara said excitedly. They then walked into the pool.
Aquaria was there, swimming at a very normal pace, then soon dived into the water, with her legs stuck perfectly together. However, what they saw when Aquaria dived in the water wasn't legs... it was...
"A tail?!" Rin exclaimed, surprised at the sight.
"She's a mermaid, well, half mermaid anyways." a male voice behind them said. It was the guild master, Grimoire, standing there behind them, smiling.
"A mermaid?!" the girls exclaimed. Fara, Rin, and Lire, all looked surprised at the sight.
Grimoire, Gem, Crellia, and Lass nodded simply. "Now~ What was it you wanted to see me for?" Grimoire asked.
"Well, we need some help in finding the fire god and we were wondering if you could help us." Fara explained.
"I see, then what is he supposed to look like?"
"Well..." Fara then described the red eyes, black hair, clothes, and finally the necklace.
"Fire shaped necklace?" Gem and Grimoire said in perfect sync. They then looked at each other. "Is it this then?" Grimoire pulled out a necklace with a fire shape, and fiery color.
The group looked surprised a bit, then Fara grabbed the necklace and began examining the necklace. Aquaria had raised her head out of the water and was now looking their way, after listening to their conversation. "This is it! It's his necklace alright!" Fara said happily. "I might be able to track his presence down a bit easier with this, but I'll need some help with the search still."
"I see, well then." Grimoire smiled, and looked at Aquaria and Crellia. "Aquaria, Crellia, go grab Zephyros and Steel, you have a job to do." he smiled, Aquaria nodded, and got out of the pool with a flip in the air as her tail turned back into feet and she quickly changed, and ran out to do as requested. Crellia looked surprised for a moment, then nodded and left also.
"Wait, your gonna ask them to help us?" the red haired girl said, looking at Grimoire. He nodded. "Then, who are-"
"Zephyros, Steel, Aquaria, and Crellia, are the best team in the guild, the four of them are very skilled, and could help you greatly in this quest." Gem cut Fara's question off, knowing exactly what she was about to ask. Fara simply nodded, and after five minutes, the two girls came back with two boys.
The first with light brown, slightly spiky hair, and lightning yellow eyes, in a simple pair of gray pants, and a black shirt. The other had dark brown, much spikier hair, silver metal eyes, in a black pair of pants, a simple white shirt, and a red bandana tied to his forehead. They were walking beside the girl's with confused expressions. "What's going on? Mind explaining, you two." the one with the metal colored eyes asked, with a small touch of annoyance in his voice.
"Now, now. Patience is a virtue, we'll find out soon." said the other, he was much more calm, then looked at the guild master and Gem, with eyes waiting for an answer.
"You four have a job to do, help these guys find the fire god, got it?" Gem explained briefly, with a commanding voice. "I won't take "no" for an answer either."
The four then nodded. "I'm Zephyros, it's is a pleasure to meet you." the male with lightning yellow eyes said, smiling calmly, then gestured to the other male, "And, this is Steel." Steel just grunted slightly. He was definitely less polite then Zephyros, that's for sure.
"It's a pleasure to meet you also~" Lire said, as calmly as Zephyros. "I'm Lire, this is Fara, Zero, Rin, Mari, and Rufus." the elf introduced, gesturing to each of them as she said their names.
"Hiya~" Fara greeted.
"Nice to meet you~" Rin said politely.
"Hello." Mari said bluntly, looking up from her book to examine the boys. Zero and Rufus didn't utter a sound.
"Nice to see you again." Steel said sarcastically, looking at Lass.
"Same to you... I guess..." the albino said sarcastically, whispering the last part.
Fara walked over to Zephyros and Crellia, and whispered, "Do they not like each other much?"
"Not really, but they're still friends." the two explained at the same time, in the same whisper.
"I see..." the red head mumbled.
"Well then, let's go?" Crellia asked, loud enough for the group to hear them. They nodded and walked out of the guild.
Meanwhile
The silver haired woman with gold bangs, sat, bored, in her throne, staring out the window. She let out a sigh.
"How long are you just gonna sit there, Hanaria?" a male voice asked.
"Well, I have things to do as the queen of the spirits of the light, so I don't have much time on my hands." the woman, now revealed as Hanaria, looked at the male with her golden eyes.
"I see..." there wasn't enough light around the male, so it only revealed his pair of golden eyes and slightly spiky snow white hair.
"Well, then, I guess, I'll have to at least see if Origin's not busy."
"You do your work, I'll ask, okay? I have no intention of letting you miss anymore of the piles of papers that have already built up on your desk get any higher." the white haired said.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it, Sorian."
Sorian smiled, bowed slightly, then left. The queen sighed once again. "Geez, if only I didn't have much work I could help Skyara in her search for Exsodus, but no, I'm stuck here, dealing with an almost endless pile of papers!" she sighed once more, got up and walked into the room with the papers, and began her work, with an annoyed expression.
Hanaria: Finally! My name is revealed~!
Gem: yeah yeah congrats to you.
Zephyros: *sighs slightly* well that's done with~
Me: *nods* mhm~
Crellia: now~ let's do it?
Aquaria: *nods* yes.
Fara: Alright, here goes~
