A/N: Well, here we are yet again! I have chapter 4 here for you today!

I don't think that I have anything in particular to talk about today... so anyways, I'd like to thank Falling Lanterns, WaterDragonMaverick, PrinceOfTheMatrix88, Stormhawk99, WrittenWhim, MyDearWatson, lexlovesya, Joshua1277, Reitzel-chan, potentialauthor18, Hikari, and Asher Grey for their reviews!

Falling Lanterns- Well it was a bit less of a wait this time! And my hand actually still hurts, which isn't all that fun, but it's pretty much just a dull ache now. Anyways, I'm glad that you liked Caleb, he's a pretty fun character to write that pretty much everyone in the guild fears in some way or another. So yeah, he's pretty much the "Erza" of Undine's Cove.

WaterDragonMaverick- Yeah I have to say that I've received a lot of interesting characters for this story, but I'm glad that you think the siblings are interesting and that you found the interactions between Jace and Caleb to be funny.

PrinceOfTheMatrix88- I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter, and we'll just have to wait and see what condition Rayner has... Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Stormhawk99- I'm glad that you liked how I've used Fareth so far, and I plan on having him open up more as time passes, since he's still so new to the guild, and there are a few ideas to make that happen. Hehehe... Anyways, don't worry, I have someone in mind for him that I think fits the bill for him. I'm glad that you've enjoyed it so far and I hope that you enjoy this chapter as well!

WrittenWhim- Well, I do appreciate the help in any case. But I'm glad that you're still enjoying the chapters and I hope that you enjoy this one too!

MyDearWatson- I'm glad that you found all of the characters introduced in the last chapter interesting! And yeah, Caleb's a pretty interesting guy, and not many people in the guild know of Rayner's condition, as you might've gathered by how Salina asked Jace and Fareth not to discuss what they overheard last chapter, so most likely, Ajax is unaware of it like most of the member's of Undine's Cove. I'm glad that you like the God Slayers and Hughes, and no, Ziv does not like the rain at all. Roseala does promise to be entertaining, but we haven't even seen half of her characters yet, so there's more to come! Anyways, I'm glad that you liked the last chapter and I hope that you enjoy this one as well!

lexlovesya- It's always good to hear that I got the personality of a character down, it's especially good when it's two characters though! I'm glad that you liked Hughes as well, originally I had planned on just having the McSolas siblings work by themselves, but then I decided that it would be better if I added Hughes into the mix as well. I hope that you enjoy the chapter!

Joshua1277- I'm glad that you like Hughes intro and the team that I placed him on. And I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter and I hope that you enjoy this one as well!

Reitzel-chan- I'm glad to hear that I got Caleb's personality down perfectly so far! And we'll eventually find out what's wrong with Rayner, but I'm sure we can agree that he's in for some hard times when he returns to the guildhall. Well I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter and I hope that you enjoy this one as well!

potentialauthor18- I'm glad that you enjoyed Caleb's character so much! He seems to have been well received by lots of other people as well. Hope you enjoy the chapter and how I introduced Ladon!

Hikari- I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter, and I wouldn't say that I really identified the publish dates, more like I said when I would be working on the story and might possibly post a new chapter. But, anyways... I certainly know what it's like being the new kid in school, it was never easy and it always took me a long time to make friends. Even so, I managed to make it through, so good luck to you! I'm sure you can do it! Now about the next part, I actually know next to nothing about the Hunger Games, I, for some reason, just never got into it (I don't really know why either, when I seemed to only hear good things about it). So I really wouldn't know what I'm doing if I were to make a character description, sorry. Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with how SAO ended as well, but I really enjoyed the first half, but then it was just kinda meh during the second half. Anyways, thanks for sending in the location and color of Light's guild mark! I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Asher Grey- Like I said earlier, I've received a lot of interesting characters, and a lot of interesting kinds of magic. Some of them I just sit there and think "Why didn't I think of that?", or sometimes I realize that I would've never of even thought of them. Well I hope you enjoy the chapter and how I chose to introduce Alistar!

Chapter 4

The Light Mage, Jayne Satsuki, walked through the wet streets of Hargeon as the skies began to clear and the clouds began to turn all sorts of vivid colors in the sunset. She looked up at the sky and smiled brightly at the picture painted into the sky, "It's beautiful," she said quietly to herself, still smiling brightly with wide eyes.

Jayne was rather small for a 17 year-old, standing at 5'1" with pale skin and a small and petite build that had an average amount of curves. She had long, vibrant white hair that curled slightly as it fell down to her elbows and dark, brown eyes. Jayne typically was seen wearing a dark red, high-waisted skirt over a pair of black leggings and a gray, strapless top with a black vest that had round, golden buttons sewn onto it. On her feet was a pair of brown combat boots that she would often claim fit any situation. Lastly, Jayne's guild mark was on her upper left arm, just above her elbow.

Jayne stood there, admiring the sunset for a little while longer before she heard a man call out to her, "Hey! You there!" the man called out as Jayne turned around. A little ways away, was a tall man standing at about 6'3" with long red hair that was tied into a loose braid, but most of his hair was covered by a dark gray beanie. The man was wearing a long, navy blue coat that had black trim, over a black dress shirt and a pair of dark gray pants tucked into tall, brown steel-toed boots, and he had a large sword strapped to his back by a large, brown leather belt.

The man continued to approach Jayne, "Excuse me, but you're a member of the local guild, right?" the man smirked as he stopped near Jayne and reached into his coat pocket.

Jayne just nodded a 'yes', slightly taken aback by the man who was now towering over her as she looked up at his face, which had a scar running across it and his hair fell over his left eye, the one that she could see being a dark blue in color.

"Good," he responded while holding an envelope out to her, "Can you make sure that this gets delivered to Camille Arturia?" the man asked as Jayne examined the envelope which had, To Camille Arturia, written on it in surprisingly neat and fancy handwriting.

Jayne's face reddened as she looked at the envelope, the many possibilities running through her head in quick succession, "OMIGOSH!" she yelled out as she swiped the envelope from the man, "Yes I'll deliver it Beanie Guy!"

"...Beanie... Guy?" the man said quietly to himself, shocked at the girl's sudden change in personality, "Well... whatever. So long as it gets delivered," he mumbled as he watched the girl run off towards the guildhall, "I probably should've mentioned that I saw her leave town, otherwise I would've given it to her myself," the man shrugged as he began smirking again and began to walk towards the western edge of town.

. : + : .

Wilhelm sat out on one of the rock walls that formed the cove, he had taken refuge from the storm under a tree that had strangely been able to grow there.

Wilhelm stood at about 6'3" with a slightly muscular build and shoulder length black hair that was slightly spiky. He had dark blue eyes and his guild mark was on his right shoulder in black. Wilhelm was currently wearing a gray, button-up shirt under a long black coat with a pair of jeans and a pair of black boots. Wilhelm was also one of Undine's Cove's two Darkness Mages, and thus he tended to seclude himself during the day when he wasn't out on a mission.

Wilhelm sighed as he closed his book and looked up at the budding tree, remembering what Salina had said about it.

"That tree is like a beacon of hope. It symbolizes that life can thrive in even the bleakest of situations. Please, I want all of you to remember that," Wilhelm sighed again as he thought about what she meant, she didn't seem to be talking to anyone in particular, but he knew that it was important. Wilhelm quickly hopped onto his feet and stretched, and then walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked down into the cove, where he could see one of his guild mates running towards the main building in what seemed to be a panic, but he lost interest after he realized her to be one of the guild's Light Mages.

"Well, I should probably head back anyways," he sighed, "It's a long walk down."

. : + : .

"Saliiiiiiinaaaaa!" Jayne yelled as she ran towards the bar, "B-Beanie Guy! L-love letter! CAMILLE!" she continued loudly before ending with a happy squeal.

Salina stared at Jayne for a little while as Caleb sat and rubbed his ear after Jayne screamed in it, "Excuse me?" Salina asked.

"A guy told me to give this letter to Camille! And it has such fancy handwriting so it has to be a love letter!" Jayne explained without hardly taking a breath, "See?" she said as she held out the envelope.

Salina took the envelope with out saying anything as she looked at the handwriting, "This looks like her master's handwriting," she mumbled, "You said Beanie Guy, right?" Salina asked as she watched Jayne nod in affirmation enthusiastically, "Well then this is a letter from her master, which it isn't odd that he asked someone to deliver it since Camille isn't in Hargeon right now," she explained as she watched Jayne's excitement fall.

"Oh," she said in disappointment, looking down at the ground, "Wait a moment... Then why did he need me to deliver it if he was already in Hargeon!?" Jayne yelled, once again in Caleb's ear.

"Most likely because you seemed convenient to use as a messenger," Caleb answered calmly as he continued to rub his ear, "He's the type of man to do something like that if it would save him some effort," Caleb explained.

"Wait, so you're saying that this guy is Camille's master? He doesn't sound anything like her!" Jayne shouted in disbelief, "Camille would've done it herself every step of the way!"

"Well we can't judge a book by it's cover," Salina started with a small nervous laugh, "He is actually a good man, and he does care for Camille like a father. He's just a little rough around the edges."

. : + : .

"Wow," Rayner said with a small laugh, "You really do skip drunk and go straight to hangover don't you Camille? And you only had one mug too," he continued with a snicker.

"Hrgh... quiet... you," Camille said as she held her head in pain, "Just... be quiet." Camille's tie was disheveled and the top few buttons of her dress shirt were undone as she wore her suit jacket on her head to block the light from hitting her eyes.

"Be quiet?" Rayner asked with a snicker as the trio exited the train in Magnolia.

"Hit him... Miriam... please" Camille asked miserably as she flinched in pain from the noise of the crowd around them.

"M'kay," Miriam answered before smacking Rayner in the back of the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Rayner asked while holding the back of his head.

"She asked me to," Miriam answered quickly, "And toughen up Rayner. I didn't hit you that hard," she finished as she pushed her glasses up against her nose.

"Well you three are certainly as energetic as ever!" a smooth voice called out to them.

All three mages turned and saw one of Undine's Cove's S-Class Mages, a 19 year-old man named Alistar Thorn. He stood at about 5'11" with a thin, athletic build and he had crimson hair that was swept to the right and amber colored eyes. Alistar wore a black long coat, that was red on the inside, over a red dress shirt that was lazily worn and a pair of black jeans that had a chain coming of them. Alistar used a type of magic that he called, Seven Deadly Masks, which granted him different powers based on the mask he wore, and each mask being more powerful than the one before it. And lastly, his guild mark was on his right hand in black.

"Ugh... Alistar... perfect," Camille moaned as she tried to stand up straight and not look pathetic, "What do you want," she said while trying to not sound like she was in pain.

"This'll be good," Rayner smirked as he sat down on a nearby bench, with Miriam following suit to keep an eye on him.

"Well I just couldn't help but notice you three get off the train," Alistar started, "So I figured that you three were going on a mission, but I also couldn't help but notice that you seemed to be in a bit of pain. So I got concerned about your well-being, Camille."

Camille flinched in pain before answering, due to the train behind her blowing it's whistle, "Please... I don't need someone like you... worrying about me," Camille said in a shaky voice, "I'm perfectly fine."

"Well, seeing as how the train just left without me, I guess we'll all be bunking together tonight!" Alistar said somewhat cheerfully as he watched Camille begin to look sick as she ran over to a garbage can to empty the contents of her stomach out, "It's not that disgusting of a concept, is it?" he asked as he looked over at Rayner and Miriam.

"No, she just has a hangover," Rayner answered with a shrug.

"Although the idea isn't appealing at all," Miriam added as she pushed up her glasses again.

"A hangover? She drank alcohol?" Alistar said quietly to himself, ignoring Miriam's harsh comment, "Well I guess I ought to help get her to the inn then," he said as he walked over to Camille.

"I'm fine... I'm perfectly fine... I don't need help," Camille sobbed from her position next to the garbage can as she tried to stand up.

"Oh come on Camille, it's not like we're going anywhere tonight," Rayner said as he stood up and walked over to Camille to help get her on her feet, "Acalypha Town is a whole day away on foot, and no more trains will be running tonight, so swallow your pride and accept his help for once," Rayner said as he chided her like an older brother.

Miriam to by to the side and watched the scene, beginning to think that she needed to give Rayner more credit to his character. "He might be an idiot," she thought, "But he's a kind idiot if nothing else."

"What? Now you act like you're drunk?!" she heard Rayner complain as she came out of her thoughts to see Camille sobbing uncontrollably, "And now you're emotional too! Great!"

. : + : .

Jace, Fareth, Zain, and Hughes snuck through the halls of the men's dormitory, quietly headed towards they're objective.

"Why are we doing this again?" Fareth asked in annoyance.

"Cause you haven't done it yet," Jace answered quietly.

"Yeah, every guy who joins Undine's Cove does this," Zain continued, "It's a tradition."

"Who the hell would think up something like this for a guild tradition?" Fareth hissed while losing his patience with his three guild mates.

"Rayner started it," Hughes explained, "And as a tradition set by one of the guild's founders, we have to respect it."

"And not respect him at any other time?" Fareth asked, now definitely annoyed with the three men.

"Pretty much," Jace answered with a snicker as he saw the door they were looking for, "Alright, Rave should've already unlocked the door for us, so go and wake him up Fareth."

"Fine," he huffed as he walked towards the door, "But only so that you guys quit bugging me to do this," he said as he slowly moved his hand towards the doorknob, with a strange feeling of fear coming over him.

"What's wrong? Open it," Zain whispered as he saw Fareth gulp.

"Come on Fareth! Do it," Hughes quietly cheered as he watched Fareth begin to break out in nervous sweat.

Fareth quickly closed his eyes before grasping the doorknob, and he began to slowly open them again as he started to turn the doorknob.

"Come on Fareth!" all three men yelled out suddenly, startling him and causing him to quickly push the door open, slamming it against the wall.

"Darkness Magic! Devour!" they heard a man yell as a large, black snake that glowed with a pale, almost white, purple glow shoot out from the room and envelope Fareth before exploding, sending the unsuspecting Fareth flying against the hallway wall.

Sitting on the bed in the room was a skinny and pale 18 year-old man named Reginald Ladon. He stood at 5'10" and had short and ragged black hair that stuck out in almost every direction due to sleeping so much. He had small black eyes with skinny pupils that always looked bored, and he seemed to always have a displeased frown on his face. Ladon wore a simple, yet interesting attire, consisting of a sleeveless gray v-neck shirt, deep purple sleeping shorts, a pair of rice sandals, and a black, cloth headband that he would slip over his eyes when he was sleeping. The most interesting part though, was the black, full-body sleeping bag that he usually had draped across his shoulders like a hooded cape. Lastly, Ladon was Undine's Cove's second darkness mage and his guild mark was on the palm of his right hand in red.

Ladon simply stared at Fareth before using his magic to grab the door and slam it shut before going back to sleep.

"He's going to be mad when he wakes up, you know that right?" Hughes asked while they all stared at Fareth's burnt, unconscious body.

"Yeah, isn't everybody mad after they wake up after doing this?" Jace responded as he continued to look at Fareth.

"We should probably take him back to his room at least," Zain suggested as he took a step back after seeing Fareth's hand twitch.

"Hmm? Where you going?" Jace asked as he watched Zain continue to step back, with Hughes now joining him in retreating from Fareth.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Fareth yelled as he came to, ramming Jace in the back with a flame enhanced headbutt before sending him flying out of the dormitory in a pillar of flame.

A/N: And there it is, chapter 4! Hope you enjoyed it!

Anyways, in case any of you were wondering exactly who 'Beanie Guy' is, he's Camille's master, so he'll pop up again later in the story, which is why he's mentioned up at the top in the credits as one of the 5 introduced characters. Next time we see him though, I'll be using his name, since that will be his more official introduction.

Also, I think there will be two more chapters of introductions, one for the guild members who are more active at night (which will be next chapter), and then another chapter for the rest of them. And then there are guild members that will be introduced a bit later in the story, so don't worry, their time will come! I just have to get to it first...

I remember that there was something that I wanted to talk about in the A/N now. If any of you ever have any ideas for a mission or something, don't be afraid to send it, I need all the help I can get since I've started to gather ideas for missions.

Anyways, please remember to review!

Your host with the most,
