Welcome New Mages!

There he was sipping his wine looking out into the members of his guild, was this how Ardere felt when he was Guild Master. The Guild was always his family and the two had been best friends since they joined Sabertooth. Rivals of course their magic's similar yet different. One has the power to slay god's the other devils, equal yet so different. This was enough for the two boys to always fight seeing whom was the best with their slayer art. Time sure had gone by now, sure being the Ace was a accomplishment on it's own perhaps the only member who stood a chance against that fire breather, but being responsible for lives on this level. It was really a drag, he had to be more of an example and be around more not being able tot travel around so much as he used to. He thought maybe it was worth it, he'd at least hold the spot until he found someone wiser for it someone who could still keep these young powerful mages in order. It was hard to keep a guild filled with strong mages and dreams of being stronger in line, of course when the group was the finest in the the land it meant the Leader had to stand stronger. Perhaps it would be time for him to start looking into showing the council just how strong he truly was, maybe if he became a Saint it would draw in more members and that alone would keep the younger mages from destroying the guild hall so often with their fights.


Wishful thinking perhaps he thought as he took a sip of his red wine he was able to order in bulk now with the Guild's Money instead of just buying that sailor stuff Ardere liked so much. Of course the guild had changed since Ardere had left, better quality thing were brought in. Being tide to a rich family had it's perks especially with both he and his sister Sammey here. Everything was improved for the most part which was nice, but meant his rag tag knuckle head mages had to act more behaved.

Sitting what she assumed was alone at a small table, she sipped her hot tea periodically. She had only arrived a short time ago, and had been apart of the guild less than a week. Many around her were loud, rambunctious, jovial, and short tempered all at once, which clashed with her often silent, reserved, polite to a t nature. She simply stayed silent, unless addressed, which she was not. She was not particularly noticeable, what with wearing an almost shabby hooded cloak, and a plain, unadorned metal staff leaning against her shoulder, her right arm slightly wrapped around it.

The only interesting thing visually about her was the fact she wore solid black sunglasses inside, though to her black was the same as white, red, and any number of colors one could speak about. She could see them all equally well, being unable to see any of them, though this did not bother her in the slightest. Instead, she listened, she tapped her staff, and she allowed others to guide her when appropriate. Some locals were kind enough to guide her to this hall, and all believed she was seeking to hire a mage or two for help, when that was not the case at all.

Despite her inability to see and difficulty getting around at times, she was a practiced mage, though still learning and new in the art herself. Expanding her knowledge would come with time, as would her ultimate goal be achieved as well : Finding a cure for her younger bedridden brother. She had found a hotel for them to stay in until she could find a place for them to stay permanently, and the city being as popular as it was surely would have many people of all kinds passing through, and thus a more likely chance of finding someone who could help, or at least clues to a cure.

Currently, her thoughts were more focused on the many voices in the guild, trying to sort out who was where, what they were speaking of, and any other information she could pick up without asking for it. It was surprising to her just how much people actually say, and how little one needs to ask to obtain the information one seeks.

She sipped more tea as she continued to listen and learn about the various guildmates.

Setting the glass of wine back down on the counter he turned around in his chair and scanned the room, it seemed all were pretty much social besides one of the newer members. Chuckling he stood up from his chair and gripped the glass of wine and the bottle near it. Walking over to the lone girl he sat down across from her with a smile, he sat the wine down towards the end of the table and kept his glass in his hand swirling it. A loud bunch aren't they? Did you meet anyone you connected with yet?, he asked to check on her to see if she was adjusting well. He didn't want her to feel left out of course this was a family with the common goal of being the best guild out there.

Despite the loudness of the area, she heard the slight scrap of a chair being pulled back at her table across from her, as well as the soft chink sound of a glass bottle being placed upon the table. The scent of a fine wine was also in the air, stronger now than it was previously. It was more than likely being drunk by the man who now sat with her.

She looked in the direction of his voice, and smiled politely, but shook her head. I'm afraid I have not, though they are all very vocal about their likes and dislikes. You are the first to approach me, save for the server and bartender. She reached for her tea, finding it based on her memory of where she left it, and took a sip, before setting it back down, and continuing. I do not believe we have yet to be introduced. I am Rarda Yana, a mage of small talent, though that may change with time. She bowed her head slightly, out of respect, and adjusted her staff to allow her to do so easier, before placing it back against her shoulder to rest. She then smiled pleasantly, feeling she had spoken enough for the moment, and awaited his response.

Knux returned the bow with his own head nod, "Knux Shi, a pleasure." He sat back up in his chair and took a sip of wine nodding in agreement. "Everyone is free to be themselves here, the only catch to being in this guild is wanting to be the best mage you can be making Sabertooth the best. Though we are a brother hood." Setting his glass down onto the table a veteran of sabertooth was passing by Knux gave a head nod to him as he passed. "Bando, how's it going?" His emerald green optics followed him to sit next to another member who was fairly new in the guild, one of such who took a strong interest with the land around the guild. Though because of it the garden had flourished to life, meaning there needed to be a new sparring ground. Knux would had to look into the training room being equipped with the proper tool for his mages to spar so they wouldn't destroy things.

She smiled slightly at his words before speaking again. I believe I will have little to fear, then. I am sure that I will need to grow in my talents before I can be of real use to anyone. She thought about continuing, to speak of her reasons for joining, but decided to keep it to herself for the moment.

A new voice called out to them, almost startling her at how close it was. It indicated that the man she was speaking with was the Guild Master, which she found slightly surprising. Before she processed that information further, she looked in the general direction of the voice, and smiled, and nodded her head. Hello, the pleasure is mine. She hadn't noticed that he had moved, and was probably looking in the wrong direction. She waited only a moment longer before looking back to where the Guild Master, Knux Shi, sat.

You must be a mage of some great skill, to be referred to as "Master." Would I be mistaken in believing you are the Guild Master, and not training him in the art of Magic? She was fairly certain of the answer, but she simply wished to be sure instead of being wrong and misunderstanding his position. She took another slow sip of her tea, awaiting his answer.

Knux chuckled slightly at the comment of training the other male. "No no I'm simply the guild master. I don't train anyone these days, in fact I don't recall ever doing so." Lifting his bottle from the table he noticed it was nearly empty. A sad moment for him truly but he had to get going. A bottle a night was all he allowed himself to have between paper work and this meant he had to return to it. Getting up from his seat he bowed again to the new member and with a smile said "I'm sorry I must be getting back to something, please enjoy yourself and meet some friends. That's an Order" He winked at the end of his sentence before making his leave to his office.
