A new member arrives, one that seems to be different from those in the guild…

Rated: T for things soon to happen

Me: Thanks to my friend, Rosamanelle. Enjoy!


Chapter 2 (Meeting?)

Another day, another morning. The sun glittered in the sky, seeping through the windows of the android's room. He was sleeping as deeply as the dead.

OPERATING SYSTEM REBOOT: ACTIVATED

Opening his eyes, Neo got out of the bed in time to hear a soft knock at his door. "Hello, Neo? Are you awake? It's me, Arme. Um, if you can hear me and are awake, you need to go to the meeting room on the first floor beside the Knight Master's room. I've got to go right now, see you at the meeting!" The footsteps that followed announced her departure. Dressing himself, Neo looked at the still-sleeping wolf, deciding to let him sleep. Nodding to himself, he left the room to search for the meeting room.

Meanwhile, the wolf was having a bad dream. He was dreaming about the day his family was hunted down. He had run away as fast as he could upon his parent's orders, but he was still shot in the leg. Long after, he collapsed, only to be found by the android. Waking with a short bark, the wolf swung his head to scan the room. Noticing that he was alone, the wolf decided to explore. Opening the first door he came to, he did a double take. Inside were not one, but two dogs, a raccoon, a dragon, a wolf wearing a suit, a cat with boots, a fairy, something furry that he didn't recognize, a cat inside a red sock, a pair of humans a demon, a walking mushroom of all things. Maybe he didn't really wake up.

"Hey, someone just came in! Hmm, it looks like you, but it's a real wolf, not like you." The fairy said teasingly.

The wolf with a suit growled. "Shut up. Hey, what's your name, kiddo?" The wolf simple shook his head.

"You don't have a name?" The human that donned a massive amount of facial hair said. The wolf nodded.

"Ah! Sorry for not introducing ourselves! My name is Little Blue Fairy! The two dogs are Ven and Vania, the perverted wolf-in-a-suit is Terra," Terra growled at this, "the raccoon is Raccoon, the booted-cat is Purthos, and the Kungji elder is our very furry friend. The cat in the red sock is Nyami, the man with the facial hair is Aron, the one with red armor is Astaroth, and the demon is Duel." She giggled at the bewildered look on the wolf's face. "I know it's a lot to absorb. Do your best, okay?"

Little Blue Fairy tapped her delicate chin thoughtfully. "Why don't you come with us to the meeting room? Apparently we've got a new member." The wolf barked in agreement, despite already knowing the new member.

The meeting room pretty much consisted of a big square table at which all the members sat around. One girl opened a compact full of cosmetics. Another waved her fan. Neo cleared his throat.

"My name is Neo Zentrum. I have joined this guild in order to fulfill my master's wishes." He paused, but continued upon seeing the curious looks on the other guild members' faces. "He ordered me to help others, including the members of this guild."

The members then began to whisper to each other. Unfortunately for them, he could hear their conversations.

"Why does he talk like that? Is he okay?"

"I wonder what he is? He isn't human, right?"

"His eyes… They're so mechanical…"

Neo sighed. "I am an android, which is, in case you didn't know, a machine with its own spirit and mind." This effectively shut them up.

A man with orange hair sighed. "One mysterious person after another…"

A girl with blue hair chuckled slightly. "An android… How interesting..."

The Knight Master suddenly stood up. "There's nothing left for me to do. Bye." She left the room rapidly, leaving them alone with the android.

"I'll introduce us, I guess. I'm Elesis. The idiot with blue hair –"

"Hey!" Said idiot rose from his seat. Elesis cleared her throat.

"Like I was saying, the idiot with blue hair is Ronan. The guy with orange hair beside him is Ryan, a druid of the forest." Ryan waved slightly. "The blonde elf is named Lire - make sure you're looking at the right blonde – and the maid over there who happens to be the other blonde is Alice." She paused to take a breath. "The redhead is Jin. Next to him is his girlfriend, Amy, the one with the pink hair. Sieghart is the highlander knight slash gladiator, beside him is Mari, the one with the mismatched eyes." Mari and Sieghart waved. "Nanako is the Astral beside Mari; Luke is next to her, the one with brown hair." Waving at a group of demons, Elesis continued. "Those two are Dio and Ley, both have fancy names I can't bother to remember, the guy who sort of looks like you is Zero, an artificial demon, then is Lupus the bounty hunter, Azin, Rin, Lime, and Edel of the family of Frost."

"This seems kind of generic, but could we see your abilities?" Elesis asked. Neo simply nodded.

Off to the training grounds they go.
