Guild of Scania
Chapter One: Surprise, Surprise
The three were already out of Henesys, and heading towards Perion on a rocky path. Crystal was on her broom in a comfortable position with her arms behind her back, and her legs out towards the ground. Her broom low to the ground. With her witch's hat now on her head.
"It's a beautiful day isn't it?" Crystal stared up into the sky.
"It seems like it's gotten hotter or somethin'," Ushumi swiped his sleeve across his forehead.
"You're right," Uumi said. He held up his staff towards the sky.
A beam of ice shot up into the air, as snow started to fall from the sky. "Ah, paradise!" Ushumi pointed his head up into the sky and his mouth open with his tongue pointing out.
"So Crystal, what level are you?"
"Well," she hopped off of her broom, "A level 40 Cleric."
Uumi's mouth hung open in awe and jealousy. Crystal just smiled a toothy smile.
While Uumi and Crystal had teir conversation, Ushumi looked around their surroundings. Something that surged through his body said that someone was watching. Not knowing who, just someone.
"Uumi," Ushumi whispered.
"Huh?" Uumi turned his head.
"I think someone's following us."
After that last word, throwing stars flew out of the bushes, and sped past Crystal's face and into the tree feet away from her left. "Wha--!" Before Crystal could say another word, more throwing stars flew out of the bushes everywhere!
For some reason, Crystal tried to hide behind the long wooden part of her broom as the throwing stars buzzed into the wooden part. Some scratched her skirt surprisingly.
"Oh no!"
And before more came out of the bushes, she held out her palm. The throwing stars froze in their spots, when the three heard someone leap out of the bushes with a battle scream. All the three could see was a red blur!
"Crystal, watch out!" Uumi yelled.
Crystal's eyes widened, before she could react, all she saw was the scowling face of the attacker. His fist headed towards her, and surprisingly, she could move, and knocked the fist away with her arm, and swipe him off of his feet with her broom.
She pointed the brush end of the broom at the attacker's face. A blade extracted out of the brush end. "Who are you!" Crystal yelled, then her eyes widened, "Axel!" She lifted him onto his feet.
"Crystal?" The red haired warrior asked.
"And...who is this guy who tried to kill us?" Ushumi steamed.
"Uh, this is Axel," Crystal answered.
Uumi sort of gave Axel a mean glare. "And who is this ray of sunshine?" Axel said. Crystal took a deep sigh, as the blade retracted from her broom, "Uumi, Ushumi, Axel. Axel, Uumi, Ushumi."
"Could you give us more details?" Uumi said.
"Axel's in my guild that I told you about."
"Guild?"
"That's right, guild. The Lightning Strikers," Axel answered.
Uumi still kept the same glare.
"So what are you doing with these losers?"
"Losers?" Ushumi was offended, as he looked at Uumi, "Losers?"
"Axel, quit it," Crystal started.
"What? It's true."
"The only thing that's true is, you were the one who attacked us. And why was that?" Uumi asked in an angry tone.
"Who cares. It's just called 'having fun'."
"Oh, why I oughta--!" Ushumi started.
"You oughta what?" Axel got in his face.
"AXEL! Where's Ty?" Crystal asked before anything started.
"Ty? Ty's in Perion. The place where I see you all are going."
"Why did you attack us?" Crystal's voice started to raise.
"I-I told you. It was just for fun!" Axel stuttered.
You know what that meant. Crystal looked like she had more power than she looked like she had. "Let's just go. We'll have a long ways to go," Crystal gave Axel a glare to, as she started walking. Ushumi gave him a glare too as he passed by. Uumi stopped in front of the red haired Assassin.
"Try that stuff again, and I swear. Your pretty boy face, won't be looking pretty any longer."
After his words, he walked towards Ushumi and Crystal. Axel hung his head low, and the followed the three.
