Guild of Scania

Chapter Three: Friends in High Places

"Ty? What are you doing here?" Crystal asked.

"Didn't Axel say we were at Perion?" Ty asked.

"Oh, yeah! That was two days ago."

"So you're the Lightning Strikers," Uumi said.

"And you are?" Ty asked.

"Oh!" Crystal got between them, "Uumi, Ushumi, Lightning Strikers. Lightning Strikers, Uumi and Ushumi."

"Nice to meet ya," Ty held out his hands, "I see you're twins too."

"Yep! Experienced bowman, nice to meet ya!" Ushumi shook his hand.

"Magician, experienced as well," Uumi shook his hand.

The guild members started introducing themselves to the two.

"I'm Laya," A blonde girl with a light blue fisherman-like hat and a red sword shook Ushumi's hand.

"I'm Flora," A black haired girl with a flower in her hair, and a snowboard in her arm shook Uumi's hand.

"This is Tano," Crystal introduced a red haired boy with a giant sword in his hand, "And this is Dokani." Dokani had long, flowing brown hair with a pink highlight that shown out, and a double edged axe in her hand.

"So you've met Axel," Dokani asked.

"Yeah," Uumi slumped.

"Don't like him that much don't ya?"

Uumi hesitated.

"I kinda didn't think so. He can be a pain."

Uumi didn't say anything.

"That's what he does, even if he is my boyfriend."

Uumi's eyes widened, "I'm so sorr-."

"Don't be. It's okay."

"Guys, it's time to stop the introductions, and head back to Perion!" Ty called.

"Yes sir!" their voices echoed.

They all headed towards Perion, and Ty stopped Uumi in the tracks. "Is there something wrong?" Uumi asked. "No, no! Just saying sorry for Axel's actions. He can be a dummy at times. Just wanting to tell you that...We've got friends in high places. Our friends are your friends." Ty smiled, Uumi smiled back.

"We've got your back," Ty walked towards the others.

"Thanks," a tear went down his cheek.
