Hi there readers! Here is chapter two, please read and enjoy!
Chapter Two
"Lazy?! Why are you here?!" Magi inquired surprisingly.
"Oh, hi Weirdo," a teenage boy answered in a casual tone. His hands were in his pockets, with his spiky, dark blue hair in its usual form. Like Star, the guy had a skin that was clear-white. He also held irises that were blue on the right and red on the left, unlike the Sorceress, who had red on the right and blue on the other eye. For clothes, the Ruin Walker had the flaming glacier set equipped, with astro-shopped headphones that created visible music notes. Dagger was strapped on the boy's belt, while a Mountain Kong shield rested on his back. "I was turning in my finished quests. Do you have business here, too? I never saw you in the Guild Union."
The orange ribbon wearer then voiced, "I came here because-"
"Ruin Walker Vetyver, please go see Rene Helen for the rewards," a cloaked Wizard interrupted in command.
"Alright…" Vet worded with a sad tone in his voice as he turned back, "See you later!"
The Ruin Walker then ran off into the purple portal near the saving spot in the Sea of Sky. After the Sorceress saw her childhood friend disappear from the area, she reached her hands into the backpack, took out the envelope, and showed it to the NPC next to the saving stone. Starmagi then moved the empty bag into her misc section of her inventory as the cloaked Jiendian accepted the paper and opened it.
About a minute passed when the staff of the Guild Union spoke. "Ah, Miss Starmagi,"the NPC realized as he handed back the Sorceress her letter inside the envelope, "I will lead you to Jade, follow me."
The white haired girl trotted along, with her hand holding the item she was supposed to display to people. Her feet were trying to keep up the fast paces of the Guild Union's staff. Before all this happened, Magi had traveled past Belos and into unknown land. Everything seemed so magical and ancient for her; almost nothing was familiar. After entering a huge portal in the mysterious forest, Star found herself wandering in the place where rocks were floating everywhere, and was stunned for a couple of milliseconds when she saw her childhood friend.
"Um, may I ask a question?" the teenager inquired as she tried her best to tag along.
"What is it?" the man wearing a cloak questioned in response as his feet stopped near to the purple portal.
"What did my parents write in the letter? Whenever I try to open the envelope it rejects me."
"I was commanded not to tell the main subject to you. You will find about it later anyway."
"Then can you at least tell me what the forest before this spot was and what this area is?"
"This is called the Sea of Sky, the mysterious forest before is named Mysterious Forest."
"Awesome, the places suit their names," the Sorceress thought as the man continued his way into the transportation circle. Star followed, and found herself in a country side-like place.
"Welcome to Guild Union. This is where adventurers from all over your continent gather to complete quests and get their rewards, "the man introduced as he walked.
"Wow…" Starmagi sounded as she looked around. The area was not cold and white like her home continent; birds were flying and chirping, as fighters of different ages and levels roamed around, talked, flirted, and laughed in the background. The street was made up of brick-like material that had plants outside of it. Trees and flowers of different varieties decorated the location behind and next to the buildings, too. All of the structures had either a purple of orange roof, and walls of a brick-like cement construction. Wood held the projects standing and in the shape they were supposed to maintain, as well as adding a mysterious town-like air to the physical appearance.
Snapping out of the day dreams, the magic user asked curiously, "Say, I've been wondering for awhile, who is Jade?"
The tour guide replied as he summoned a finger pointing up the sky, "Ah, he's-"
"Hey! Maestro Orezelchopin! Stop cross dressing as me!" another cloaked Wizard shouted as soon as we entered.
Surprised, Star looked at the person who guided her here. He was smirking in the same position he was in, except the finger that was pointing up was now grabbing the outside clothing he took off. Now young man was wearing a pink shaggy hat, and a pink shirt with the same colored short-shorts. A subclass wand-like weapon was strapped to his back by a donkey cloak, and hair with bangs decorated his face. The pigment of the head's mane matched his clothing as the eyes of the stranger was wide in length but short in width; the colored iris simply just black. For footwear, the male citizen of Jiendia had salmon shoes.
"Phew, that guy seems to like pink a lot more than me,"the ribbon wearer noticed to herself.
The hooded disguised tool was thrown on the ground by its last holder. Soon after, the person who made it position itself on the ground grinned with his hands on the back of his head.
"I expect my pay for the watch I did in your name," Orzelchopin joked.
"Hmph, nonsense," the real Wizard spoke," Go back to your mission!"
"Hey hey, I have to escort this young lady to Jade. Shigeo told me to do so, and I shall obey it as a favor from a guild mate."
"Very well, go ahead then. I expect you to go back to your chores after that though." The Wizard then stepped in the purple portal before the two players, and disappeared.
Magi was speechless and was about to punch the guy in the face and ask him who he actually was until a nearby female voice called out, "Hey Ugly! Jade is calling you in Fallenhacky!"
The lady who voiced the words that irritated the male was about nineteen years of age. She owned purple, wavy hair with sea-blue eyes. What appeared epic to Star was the fact that this stranger had a kindergarten-like air around her. Perhaps what that person was wearing caused it; she was wearing those yellow kid's clothes after all.
"Stop calling me that Rose!" Orzel, or Fallen, protested, "I'm heading towards that guy right now; I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"What do you mean you by minutes you idiot. You're right in front of his building," the purple haired female worded in a tone that seemed to be said in a way to annoy the man, "Unless you're really slow, you should be able to get in there in seconds."
Leaving the two arguers behind to shout at each other, Star looked up at the purple roofed building. There was a sign next on the entering door that said "Infinite Corridor". A violet transportation circle was in front of the door, making new comers confusing on what to enter. Mind-twisted as she already was, the girl walked in what was nearest to her (not the door).
Inside, floating parts of earth decorated the skies. Other than that, this place looked like an ancient ruin of some sort; vines were growing around the broken pieces of pillars all over the place and grass was only green on some places. To the Sorceress's surprise, the land she was standing on was also on air, but was not moving whenever she jumped or ran to certain places. The other places that had the mini island-like structure surrounded Magi's current location and also held big portals or different outlines on it. On the bottom of all this "ground", comfortable looking clouds seemed to cushion everything.
A nearby male NPC coughed. Unlike other members around him, he had his cloak off and held a book. "May I ask your business here?" he questioned. The young male wore glasses with fuzzy-looking dark-blue hair, with came with a set of a pair of chibi, dark brown eyes.
"Uh…" Star paused as she awkwardly looked at him, "Are you Jade?"
"Yes I am."
"Eh. I'm getting escorted here because of a dumb letter… What's happening?"
The Vice Leader seemed to be in thoughts for a couple of seconds. After awhile he noticed, "Oh! You must be Starmagi! Welcome to the Guild Union! I was expecting you."
"And why is that? My parents never had me join these types of clubs before."
The lens covered Jade's eyes as he voiced his answer. "Well," the man told his guest as he pushed the spectacles up, "It's good to experience new things, as well as meeting new people."
By the reaction, the teenage magic user knew he was hiding something. The answer didn't really make any sense either. What was that secret, though?
Continuing, the leader spoke,"Your first mission will be attending a ball in Elias to protect Odd King, understood? Go to the bar, the people who you will be working with will be there."
"Wait what?!" Star spoke mentally. Everything was out of order, and there were too many questions in her head. Odd King had been ruling peacefully for about fourteen years after King Hejong had died. How he became king? The princess had been married off right after her father's death, and the groom became the new head of the continent. "This is too much to go in a teenager's head in a day!" Starmagi complained her thoughts out loud as her feet walked her out of the magical ruin.
The end! Please review, and hope you enjoyed! :3 Next section coming soon!
