Splinters of the eclipse (Intro for Akryn, Xierak, Karina, and Kiba)

Akryn slowly trudged up the steps toward the guild hall of blue Pegasus, a bag on his back, seven cuts on his lower back, black star cutter on his hip, and Eris by his side. Everything he owned was on his person as he stared up at the guild hall before him, with more than a little trepidation. It had been nearly two weeks since Zeno and Kyll had left the guild. Deniels rise to power as the new GM had not gone smoothly and more than a few feathers had been ruffled. Enough to cause a small exodus from the once mighty guild. Somehow, most of them had ended up following him.

Akryn had been, much to his surprise, a front runner to be the next guild master of his old guild. And while he had left simply because he no longer felt at home, others had left for much different reasons, and several of the ones who had voted on him as the next master still followed him. Xierak had been expected, as Akryn was the one he was closest to in he guild. Akryn did not know Karina well, but her support had been welcome. Kiba had been the absolute most surprising however. Akryn had always gotten the feeling Kiba did not like him much, and so when kiba had supported him it had come as a shock. The fact he was still here, even more of one.

"Well guys. Here we are. Couldn't wander around lost forever, right? And Zeno would approve of this. I hope." he said, muttering the last part before stepping up to push open the front door to their new home.....

Kiba just yawned as he walked up the steps, not completely sure why he was here. He looked at Karina and had his answer, he wanted her to have a stable home. Kiba smiled at her and slowed down to keep pace with her. He did find the more he was with her the more he wanted to be with her, and considering his past he was very happy to have her. 

Kiba offer her his hand, "Come on almost home... i hope." Kiba would wait till she passed him or took it before proceeding. Kiba had ignored Akryn, not really caring for the situation. Kiba had only supported him despite because it became clear that despite being the senior member in the guild, that he would not be made guild master. The new guild master was also someone who he didn't respect. It didn't matter in the end, Kiba had been in Eclipse Soul for Kyll and Zeno. With the two of them gone, Kiba didn't care about the guild anymore. The lesson he learned from it? Don't put so much into a guild, as in the end... you get burned.

Xierak slowly walked behind everyone in the group, he was carrying a large pack, with its contents being sorted belongings of those infront of him. Things at Eclipse Soul had took an odd turn, both Kyll and Zeno had disappeared, without a trace, without a word, leaving the guild to pick up its own pieces. After the dust finally settled, his closest friend, Akryn and a few others parted ways with the Guild, feeling like the home they once knew, was changed, for better or worse, it seemed to not matter to them, they decided to move on.

Xierak’s reasoning was simple, in Eclipse Soul only two people had ever truly earned his trust after seeing what he truly was, One was Akryn, whom he was quietly listening to, and the other was Kyll, who had disappeared without a trace. He stopped at the bottem of the steps to look up at the building that stood in the midst of Clover town. It was the guild hall of Blue Pegasus, one of Fiore’s prominent guilds as Xierak had heard on the trek there. He shifted the pack on his shoulder uncomfortably, unsure of humans still, fearful that one day, he will have to fight once again for his survival on a daily basis… “This is our destination then…?”

Akeya blinked as she sensed three...no, four new sources of magic appearing in town, heading straight towards the Guild Hall. Of course, in Clover Town magic presences aren't anything to write home about. However the winged ninja hadn't felt these ones before, which made her curious about their origins. Her sensitivity to magic in combination with her tendency to study in the Guild Hall's Libraries had resulted in her being able to recognize most of her fellow guild members by their magic signature alone. Were these newcomers planning to join Blue Pegasus, or were they simply outsiders with some reason to visit the Guild?

Placing the scroll she had been reading back where it belonged on the shelf Akeya headed for the entrance, her tail swishing behind her. As always the Guild Hall was rather quiet, at least at the front. It hadn't taken Akeya very long to realize that most members of Blue Pegasus, for all its reputation of being an open Guild, tended to be anywhere but in the main hall, where any newcomers would without a doubt end up. Probably a side effect from attaching so much attractions to the building. Either way, it had as result that Akeya was one of the main inhabitants of the place, which she didn't really mind. At least it was quiet.

Reaching the front doors Akeya noted that the four mages that she had sensed were already nearly there, meaning that she might as well go ahead and open the door for them. Once done she gazed upon the four people standing on the steps below, her eyes shifting from one to another. Now that she got a closer look at them she recognized two of them. Two people from Eclipse Soul, encountered in the past while on a job. The other two however were completely foreign to her, and one was very obviously not human. Well, Akeya supposed that a normal human might have been fooled, seeing how he hid every part of his body. However, long robes don't hide one's scent.

The four former members of Eclipse Soul would be greeted by a rather peculiar sight after the door was suddenly opened: a rather tall female was standing in the doorway, wearing a completely dark blue attire with a rather ninja-ish trend to it, up to and including the dark blue cloth mask hiding the lower face. Although that wasn't the strange part. The dark blue blindfold hiding the upper half of her face wasn't the strange part either, although some might already find that odd enough. The strange part was the draconic wings growing out of the girl's back, combined with the long reptilian tail swaying behind her. The limbs were covered in dark blue scales, and from the way they moved there could be no doubt that these were actual appendages, and not fake or something only temporary.

Despite the blindfold each of the four travellers would have no trouble knowing when they were being looked at: the cloth in front of her eyes did little to hinder Akeya's stare, focused enough to make it feel as if a weight has fallen upon you. It wasn't a hostile kind of stare. It was just so intense that it might as well have been the scrutinous glare of a dragon.

"Greetings. I am Akeya Kuusai from Blue Pegasus. Please state your name and purpose."

Like with her gaze, her voice and behaviour weren't particularly hostile or suspicious, instead just carrying the weight of intensity and focus. The more easily impressed would have the feeling as if a dragon had opened the door and greeted them.
