"Yukino, grab on!"you call to her, she looks up quickly seeing you come flying over to her with your hand reaching out to her. Grabbing a hold of it you lift her up, just in time before the the stampede of massive boars crush her. Hosting her up, the two of you fly to the front. Yukino looks alarming you, of the herd about the reach the town.
"We've got to hurry."She takes out her key for the Gate Pieces."Open Gate of the Paired Fish! Pisces!" Summon the celestial spirit huge sea creatures resembling fishes with elongated bodies similar to those of eels. Their general look is vaguely reminiscent of koi fishes. The two of them appear from an ethereal vortex generated behind the one employing their key. Both share similar traits, possessing large, wide, open, and round eyes with dark pupils sitting at their heads' sides, and massive mouths with light, thick lips full of squared teeth. A number of fins are also present on their bodies, with a series of long, jagged ones crossing the whole length of their upper part, almost reaching up to the top of their heads, and a smaller, more squared fin located on the ends of their faces, one on each side. Their bodies are covered in lines crossing their whole length, with each line being flanked by a row of spots; more spots form a single, hinted semicircle above each eye. What distinguishes the two fish is the color: the one to the right from the portal is light and sports dark markings; the other one, on the contrary, has light markings covering its dark body. Both creatures bear the symbol associated with the constellation of Pisces on their forehead, respectively dark and light in color. She commands them to go try to slow down the massive boars. Doing as she commands the creatures speed passed you both.
"Hang on."you tell her. Speeding up your flight. Trying hard not to ware out your magic on our wings. While Pisces did its best to redirect the creatures, you go around from the side, and land down a few miles away from the town. Standing your ground, as some of the boars coming charging. Yukino looks at you worried. Getting ready, using your Ice Make Magic. Your magic seal forms above you at least a couple.
"Ice-Make: Shooting Stars!" A barrage of ice stars come shooting out, and land infront of you and Yukino everywhere. The second they hit the ground it freezes into an ice star spike blockade. You kept up the spell, till you felt the wall was thick enough. The creatures still didn't stop. Calming yourself, forming your wings you push off and land on the wall."Eros's Melody." Another seal forms infront of you, opening your mouth, and let out a soothing tune, that reached the boars. Yukino watches you, worried. Praying your spell reached the boars before they burst through. Still hot charging head on.
Panicking. She screams your name."Venus!"
Back at the Guild, Lector along with Sting where pacing back and forth frantically. Rogue just watched them with Frosch who was enjoying a homemade brownie that you had made before you left on your mission with Yukino a week ago. Just for him, so he would have something to remember you. Minerva comes down the stairs and sees the two members again waiting worriedly for the return of you. She sighs, though she was worried just as much as the two of them, she had more faith her sister would be alright. Having trained her to hone her magic much better and understand her mother's magic too.
"They should be back by now..."Sting bites his thumb grunting.
"I should have gone with her."Lector throws in doing the samething as his friend. Rogue just shakes his head.
"You two need to not worry, Venus is doing just fine."he tells them calmly, which was not right tone, as the two blew up at him.
"How can you remind so calm!"they accuse him.
Frosch being absent minded as he was, finishes his last brownie and cries."Frosch is all out, Venus said she would be back before I finished. Oh, Frosch hopes she sings me a song."
"Hope her mission went well, it is only her third one."Rogue thinks about it, he looks to Minerva who was also worried too. Thinking back to seeing her sister off on her mission with Yukino who has become her partner on missions, and her closest friend here in the Guild. Trying not fuss, Minerva remained calmed the best she could telling her sister to do her best and stay strong. For the passed month an half since she has been here. Her sister surprisingly made a fast adjustment growing up in her eyes. She took her training seriously, improving greatly in magic with everything. Though Minerva knew there was little she could teach her about her mother's some spells her sister whom now everyone called Venus just incase to cover her incase anyone from her pasted caught wind of her, by her real name Amora. Which at times she would be called back the Guild though mainly by Yukino, Minerva herself, Rogue, Sting and the two Exceed.
Her sister's presence brought a warmth aura to the Guild. Mostly Amora would be caught cooking for everyone with Lector and Frosch who was the taste tester. At times Minerva would be there to help her as well. A skill the two of them shared as sisters. Watching her sister grow out of the shadows that held her back, she was a strong mage and with the extra magic in her made her a level just below her sister, but it was slowly reaching there. Though her sister was growing did not mean that she wasn't watching out for her which she did, which in a sense made everyone tread carefully but still treated nicely.
Sting and Lector looked like they where having a breakdown, lost in their own worries over you, they didn't see you and Yukino come in. But Frosch did, jumps away from Rogue with his arms out for the two of you. Happily like a child saying your name and Yukino's too. Getting down you scoop him up in your arms hugging him tightly.
"Frosch finished the brownies."he informs you holding up the empty bag. Looking at you, smiling.
"Would you like some more then?"you ask, which he cheered for, Yukino smiles at the two of you. Minerva comes over to you, seeing your sister you smile handing Frosch to Yukino and hug her tightly. Which she returns.
"Welcome home Mor-Mor."she smiles at you. Calling you by your nickname, she always had for you since your infant years. Holding your hands in hers, she looks at you fully. Dressed now in cream colored off shoulder kimono blouse with purple designs and a purple slash around your waist that reached a bit to your knees, under it you wore dark purple shorts with brown front laced hard sole knee high boots. Your frosty pink hair was kept in a french braid."How, was your mission?"
You smile with delight."Wonderful, Yukino and I manged to help the town."
Yukino shakes her head, placing a hand on your shoulder."It was more you, than me. She's getting stronger everyday M'lady."she looks to Minerva, who smiles with pride at you. You start to blush."No need to be bashful about it. You should be proud."
"Thank you."you thank her. Looking around for someone."Where's Twinkle?"
Before you could go off and look for him, you hear his small bark. Hearing the small ringing of a bell, from his collar that Lector gave to him. To warn him whenever Twinkle, since your pup had a habit on jumping on him when he least expected it. The wound of Twinkle's bell alerted Sting, Lector and Rogue of your presence. Rogue smiles getting up from his spot, making his way over to welcome you back, only to be bet by Lector and Sting. Who rush to with their arms open. Calling your name, you turn and look to them both. Minerva steps infront of them, giving them both a death look. Making the two of them stop in their tracks, petrified by her glare upon them. Rogue shakes his head, making his way over to you.
"Welcome back Amora."he greets you, you look to him and smile.
"Thank you, Rogue. I can't believe you guys waited for me. Again."you scratch your cheek, a bit embarrassed.
Rogue shrugs his shoulder with a smirk."Well, we just wanted to make sure you came back. Though some of us knew you would be fine compared to others."He refers to Sting and Lector who still did not move from the glare Minerva still had them. You couldn't help but snicker softly, from your sister's reaction and the guys. Twinkle barks to get your attention, which you give him. Scooping him up in your arms. He nuzzles you, his way of welcoming you back. Frosch out of Yukino's grasp tugs on your leg, looking down the Exceed he smiles at you.
"Frosch, wants to know, will you make Frosch more brownies?"he tilts his head to the side.
Nodding your head, getting down to his level."Let me first, put my things away. Then we can get started."Frosch nods his head in agreement. Holding onto Twinkle, and hurry up the steps to your room. Rogue and Yukino watch you. Making it to your room, you take off your bag you took with you just incase. Placing it down against the wall. When you noticed, three letters upon your vanity. Addressed to you, picking them up. Your heart sunk, you knew who they where from. Twinkle noticed your sudden change in mood. He sits down with a worried look. He starts to whine. Hearing him whine snapped you out of it, you look at him with a soft smile."Everything's alright."you tell him. But that did not seem to ease the pup at all. Sighing to yourself, a knock came to your door. You tell them to come in. Which they do, it was Frosch. He comes over smiling.
"Frosch wants to know, are you ready?"he asks. You smile nodding your head. Grabbing your apron, putting it on the three of you leave your room.
In the kitchen, Frosch was licking the icing spoon while you put in the new batch of brownies for him. Looking at Frosch licking that spoon clean. His way of helping, making sure everything tasted good. Which you didn't mind at all, wiping your hands off along with your brow, when you felt someone wipe the side of your cheek gently.
"You forgot one spot."Looking you find Minerva, she smiles at you.
You smile at her."Thank you."Nodding her head, looking over at Frosch who was now on the bowl of frosting. You look at him too. "It's his way of helping."You tell her with a small chuckle, hearing Frosch say yummy. Followed by a small cute burp.
He covers his mouth, with a adorable smile."Frosch says excuse me."
You couldn't help but laugh at him."Did you need something, sister?"
"No, not really. Just thought I come in here to check up on you. Sting and Lector finally calmed down."she tells you folding her arms. Shaking her head."Those two, need to learn to stop over reacting when it comes to you. Anyway, Yukino informed you, that you used one of your Emotion spells. How did it go?"
Thinking about it you smile at her."It went well, I was nervous at first, but I just thought back to what you said. And everything turned out fine."you smile with pride and happiness. "Oh, sister it's so much fun going on missions. I love seeing new places and working on my skills."Doing your best to contain your enthusiasm as best you could. But it was showing in your eyes. Throwing your hands up."I can't wait for my next one, I already saw a few I want to try."You begin to squeal with delight. Like a little girl."I don't know if it's the rush. But it is something sister. And I finally am a true mage."Looking at the back of your hand at your dark magenta guild mark. That replaced your Fairy Tail."And, helping others. Seeing them happy and safe. It's such a lovely feeling...I want it to last forever..."
Frosch now covered in chocolate sucks on his paw."I see that, you have become a fine mage. I couldn't be more prouder of your progress. I'm glad you found a home here."
"I have, haven't I?"you think about it, nodding your head."With you, and the others."Your words slightly surprised her, but she couldn't be more happier you said them. Placing a hand upon your head affectionately.
"Remember, sister. No matter what you will always have a home here."she tells you.
You nod your head, knowing."Excuse me."you leave her, to take out the two trays of brownies, setting them down to cool off. The aroma soon spread throughout the whole Guild, which of course drew others to the kitchen though they dare not go in, in fear of Minerva learning never to step in there. Despite their impulses to do so. Looking to Frosch, many wished to be the lucky Exceed who always seem to company you. Feeling others, you and Minerva turn to find the others there drooling over the desserts. Feeling bad, you tell them it was for Frosch. Which they all moaned, but you did tell them. You would not mind make some more for them, cheering them back up.
Turning back to Minerva."I think you spoil them to much."she tells you, you just shrug your shoulders picking up another bowl of frosting that Frosch did not eat, and spread it onto of the brownies.
"I don't mind."you tell her, putting the bowl down wiping your hands."Frosch, let them cool for about a couple of minutes. Alright, then you will have your brownies."
He looks at you nodding his head."Ok."
Turning back to Minerva."Though missions our fun, I should probably get some rest though."Waving to your sister, who let's you leave. Yawning you make your up the stairs and back to your room. Doing mission back after back surely was trying. Stretching with a tired smile, saying hi to two members walking in the hall. Reaching your room, Twinkle did not come back, knowing him. He was with Yukino whom he had grown found, and she with him. Shutting the door to your room, your eyes slide over to the letters. Picking them up, just as you where about to open it up. Only to stop yourself, presses them close to your chest. This was the only way you could know what was going on with everyone outside. Always, you became scared afraid to find out something. Opening your vanity draw to your desk, you put them in there closing it. Taking out three pieces of paper, you begin to write letters back to Sherry, Hibiki and Bisca. Taking just a few minutes, you finish them. Putting them in their envelope, sealing it. Addressing it to them. When you woke from your rest, you would delivery have them delivered.
Changing out of your attire first taking a bath. Relaxing. While in the bath, a knock came at your door. But you didn't hear it, you had started to sing drowning out other sounds. The figure opens your door, since it was known for always being open. Even when you where changing. Stepping into your room, they look around for you. They where sure, they saw you come up here. Your room was the only place to go really.
"Amora! Amora!"scratching his head, Sting was sure he saw you come up here. He looks around your room. Having been in here before, though he never really looked around. Calling for you, walking around, when he stops half way saying your name, hearing your voice. But it sounded like singing, pressing his ear up against the door. To hear you more clearly, though use to you singing for the Guild this tone of voice was different. He started to become concerned. In thought over the song he heard you sing, that he didn't pay attention when the door opened. And he feel down right onto you. Which surprised and stunned you, while Sting was more mortified by this. Looking around quickly, he realized where he was, and what it was you had been doing in here. Trying hard not to look down at you, knowing full well you where not clothed.
Under him, you slowly start to move which was not good for him. Quickly he pushes himself off of you, as you sit up holding firmly to your towel that was wrapped around you.
Calmly you look at him, wondering why he was here."Did you need something Master Sting?"
Stumbling over his words, he stammers incoherently something you didn't quite catch. He runs his fingers through his hair uncomfortably. Getting up quickly he apologizes to you, before he walked out, only for his efforts to be hopeless he slips on a puddle and falls back onto you getting up. Knocking the two of you back into the tub full of water making a huge splash. Since he was on you, he was in sense crushing you, making it hard for you breathe. Grabbing a hold of you, he pulls you up out of the water, the two of you gasp for air. Coughing hard.
"S-sorry."he tells you still coughing. He starts to get out, with you following only to slip on a puddle thanks from the splash. Almost losing your balance but grab hold of the tub. Holding yourself up steadily as you could.
Seeing you where fine, you turn around to asks Sting what it was he wanted. But he wasn't there. Outside your door to your room, Sting shut it quick and fast pressing his back up against it. Red as tomato, he as luckily Minerva did not walk in, he could only imagine what she might do. Trying to think of ways to calm himself down after what transpired. He went in there for a reason, but at this point his reason didn't matter much. Hearing the sound of the doorknob jiggling and your voice on the other side calling to him. Looking around hastily, he darts away, the second you open the door. You don't see him standing there anymore.
