Sweet Beginning (Social/Open)

There was a chocolate bar in his right hand, being shaken as it's owner was eating from what was inside that hand. It was so delicious, and it made Elyx much more than happy. However, it only could heal so much, he was lost. According to what he heard, he needed to find a guild so he could find a new goal in life. This was the new life he needed to live, and there is nothing left in his old tribe. He was much better than what they gave to him, and all they gave to him was a handful of lies and a few mental images he never needed in his life. Yet, the chocolate was able to numb those memories easily. His face glowing brightly as he let out his natural cat-like grin.

The scenery was rather huge, but sadly it seemed more like a district than an area in which a guild can be held. Well, there were some things Elyx could do right now for fun, like maybe find himself a pet, make a new friend, make a new rival, make a new enemy, buy more chocolate... yeah that's all he has in his life to do. This is why he needed a guild that desperately. He knew he had the potential. All he would have to do is find someone from a guild. Yet, despite having many reasons to be disappointed, he was happy. It was like this one treasure hunter he met back a few years ago, who taught him about the symbol he bears on his collar bone. The "III" that he hides from everyone.

What was her name... she told me right before we departed. I remember her face and clothing correctly... there's no way I can forget that. Elyx thought as he tore into the chocolate bar again. The girl he was trying to remember has Pink messy hair and walked around with a bag of gold on her back. She seemed nice though, so bounties seemed out of the question. She could've been a con-artist, but she was so nice and sweet. Also, if that were the case, she would have less clothing on to reel in the fish. NIMPHA! Yes, that was it. She always had a smile on her face, maybe even more than I did. Heh, it is even in her title nowadays. The Happy Treasure Hunter... but just because she is happy,, doesn't mean she can't fight. How else would she get that much gold?

Elyx placed his left hand in his pocket and munched off the last piece of his chocolate before he pulled out a cloth from his right pocket and wiped his lips from the leftover chocolate. He had plenty amounts of chocolate with him, he didn't need the leftovers. He then put out his right palm and summoned his Violin into that hand, and a Violin bow into his left hand. He was a Musician, and playing music was one of his favorite things to do, and in this area, there were people to here it. He quickly placed his Violin into his left hand and his Bow in his right before he placed the bow on the G String. The bow slid quickly on the bow as he then began to play Quintus by Larry Clark.

"If I can't find a place to live, I at least need can entertain people." Elyx said as he smiled. The hill was high up, so many should be able to hear it. This was his entertainment, this was his life. He had a strange feeling though that the place he is in isn't one he should be in.

Auorra bumped into Elyx.She took in his appearance.My god he is so handsome.I wish we're dating.She shook herself from her naughty thoughts and offered a hand up to Elyx.She shyly said,"Hey what's your name?"It wasn't the first time she talked to a handsome stranger but this guy was special she hoped at least.She wandered if he's in a dark guild like her in savage skull.What a way to ruin this beautiful moment.She scolded herself inside her head.

Her dark hair was neatly tied to a bun.Her gown was purple with black bows up and here.She painted her lips red with paintbrush.Her dark green eyes was starting widely at the stranger.She hoped she hadn't upseted such a handsome man.Her eyes began to get dark with her tears.She wiped them away with her sleeve.She waited for Elyx to reply.

The young man looked up as a young lady was looking down at him, a shy smile on her face. Nothing in her was showing that she was going to hurt him, so he made sure to return that same kindness she is showing him. After she asked for his name, he stuttered, already nervous. He did not really know how to talk to many people anymore, it had been two years from now. M-My name? My name is Elyx, Elyx Reiaki. The young man replied as he then stopped playing his Violin as took her hand offered to him. He did not want to seem disrespectful, so he put all his weight into his legs rather than their arms that linked.

From there, Elyx let out a happy smile and closed his eyes. Hi there! The boy greeted before he opened them again, only to see that there were a few tears running down the poor girls cheeks. He felt his blood shutter coldly in his body, she was so nice to him and she was now crying? The boy felt like he did something wrong, but wanted to help in anyway he can, he couldn't bare to see her cry. Though she tried to wipe off the tears, he used his left arm to grab that arm she used. With his right arm, he slipped his white jacket off of his being before handing it to her. I'm sorry. Please don't cry. Elyx apologized as he tried to wipe off her tears gently.

From there, a cute little lightbulb formed above his head, he had one small idea that might be able to calm her down. Just maybe, hopefully she liked chocolate, it was his favorite snack. I think I have just the thing for you. Elyx told the girl, looking through his knapsack to see if there was any chocolate bars left inside. Through a lot of rummaging, he finally found a handful of chocolate bars. He took them out as quickly as possible and unwrapped one for her before putting it in front of her face, a small grin on his face now. Do you like chocolate? The boy asked as he put the chocolate bar in the girls hands. Though she had tears, she still seemed so adorable it made his cheeks hurt


What about you? Elyx asked as he put the chocolate in the girls hands. With them, he wrapped his hands around hers and locked her fingers in one of the cute little chocolate squares. With it, he made her hands snap one of the squares of chocolate off before letting go. What might your name be Fair Maiden? Elyx asked as he put his Violin back up onto his shoulder, but did not play it just quite yet.

Auorra blushed as he spoke to her.She replied struttering,"My name is Auorra Le Fay and nice to meet you Elyx".It was truly nice and refreshing to meet him.She hadn't lied about that part at all.And she knew he was a good soul or at least a kind one than.It was so rare for her to meet nice people mostly because she stays at her guild than exploring.

But this time she decided she made the right choice in going out.After all he was such a nice treat from all the mean and deceiveious males she met.

Auorra Le Fay. Elyx said to himself as he smiled. He had to admit, it made him feel happy to say the name. Aurroa Le Fay, Aurroa Le Fay, oh man! I love that name, it's so fun to say! With that, he smiled happily, already was he getting a good feeling about this place. Maybe he just needed to talk with a few people, but this person, Aurroa, she already made him feel welcome and surprisingly, a lot happier than he would expect himself to be. Something about her presence made him forget about Shadelle, she made him actually smile even while he was in such a dark time.

With that, he looked back up and his face began to glow red. Was that how he was supposed to greet people? Oh! I'm sorry! Elyx apologized as he waved his hands side to side in panic. It's just such a pretty name. It's fun! With that, he looked back down to the chocolate bar in her hand and tilted his head to the side, wondering if she would ever eat the chocolate bar. He kept the question to himself, he did not want to seem rude in front of such a kind person.

Auorra nodded and said,"it's okay ".She took a small bite of the chocolate and moaned.It was aboustely delicious!She said,"It's so sweet where did you get the chocolate?" She couldn't believe that she didn't know the existence of this branch of chocolate. Elyx was breathtaking that's for sure.

What guild did he work for? She knew her guild wouldn't allow her to be in a relationship with someone from a light guild. But he was such a nice gentleman it would be a pity if she couldn't talk to him.

Elyx laughed a little with pleasure as he saw Aurroa bite into the chocolate with pleasure, seeing her happy made his chest beat a little faster. At that point, he sort of just, froze in place. As if he were in a trance, yet he did not know what was holding him where he was. He was lost in this trance until Auorra's voice lead him back into reality, just in time for him to hear her question. He let out his usual cat-like grin as he put his hands behind his head. How about we go get you some of this chocolate? If you want, I would like to take you to a shop that will get you plenty of this chocolate. My treat!  The boy offered as he placed his hands in his pockets, looking for his jewel pouch.

In the meantime, he tilted his head to the side as he wondered if she knew where he came from or what his title was. Some people might run away from him due to fear after they learn he is from a Bounty Hunting guild. This often lead them to think he was in a dark guild. Admittedly, he was not in a light guild, but he wasn't in a dark one either. Apparently, being neutral to them meant that you could not be nice, hopefully this lady would not be the same as them. And what about her? Did she belong to a guild? She looked strong enough to be in one, and though her attitude did not show it, she seemed like she could be a real threat in battle. Anyone who made her mad in the first place would have to feel the blade of his sword against their throat, the way she was, she did not even deserve to be the slightest bit of mad. Already did he feel like he have a bond with her, and the truth was, he invited her to the shop so he had a reason to continue talking to her. If you would like to that is, or maybe I can go with you somewhere? The violinist asked as he packed up his violin and placed it back into his knapsack.

Auorra nodded and repleyed,"sure and thank you for your kind treat".She blushed as she said the last part.She honestly didn't know why she was blushing so much now.In the past she had been with boys but now she was shy around Elyx.He was handsome and nice a good quality for some people including her.

She twirled a stray lock of her black hair.She had to be calm.She took a deep breath and smiled at Elyx encouragingly.

Elyx nodded his head and felt the same pulse in his chest again, once again as she spoke he felt it. It was something in her, he did not know what the feeling was, but it felt so familiar to him. He could not recall it, but he liked the feeling in all honesty. He nodded his head to Auorra as she accepted his offer, and from there he stood by her side before pointing forward. Stay by my side and follow me. Elyx explained as he walked next to her. He did not think it was proper for a lady to be following the man, regardless if they had just met, he wants to be as nice to her as possible.

From there, he remembered the distance it would take to get to the shop, so he decided to spark another conversation instead. He looked to the side and then sort of jumped back, he never saw it this close up before. Now that he has, he could not help the red flush over his face. When he noticed this, he quickly turned his head forward again, trying his best to hide it. Er! What about you? Where do you come from? Elyx asked quickly as he stuttered. Not once has that happened to him, and now that it has, he was a little scared as he placed his hand on his chest again.

Auorra followed him and when he asked the question she replied as honest as possible,"I'm the Lady Le Fsy but if you're asking about guilds I'm from Savage Guild".She strutted at the last part but wanted to be honest as possible.After all Elyx didn't deserved to be lied to he truly looks like a kind person.

She waited for his rejection.He probably is a light wizard of some sort.Most dark mages thought of emotions as weak though Auorra thought it was a strength.

Savage Skull? Well that's interesting, but not frightening. Not after the display that Auorra had shown him, she is so sweet and gentle. He couldn't imagine her in a dark guild, yet there she was, all honesty was being given to him. At this point in time, he could really care less about the whole light vs dark guild situation. Being a Rising Star, his mission was to defend and obey the Magic Council, and though he chose to be good, does not mean he can't have free will. Really? I would always expect someone from there to be like "You better move or it's going to be your life on the line. Elyx explained as he then closed his eyes. But despite you being in a dark guild, you're really sweet. You know that?

From there, the violinist opened his eyes once again and looked at how unfair this seemed to be. Well, I can't be the only one giving information right? I come from neither light nor dark guilds. Elyx Reiaki of the Bounty Hunting guild, Black Rose. The boy explained as he lowered his left collar down to reveal his collar bone. From there would be a marking of a rose that looked like a tattoo. We're a neutral guild, I don't think we're enemies.

Auorra looked so relieved.She sighed and answered,"No I don't Savage Skull has many enemies with neutral guilds.We tend to focus our time on light guilds and the magic council.Though many at Savage Skull have bad childhoods ".She thought about Thorn who is kind of friend.She knew Thorn had a bad history.You have to have something in your history that makes you turn to dark mages.After all magic light or dark isn't good nor evil. It's the user.

She then said,"It doesn't matter as long as we don't miam each other you're good with me".That's the honest truth.

You're right. Elyx replied as he put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky, it seemed so nice as he let the rays of light hit him. We don't have to be enemies because our backgrounds say we do. Provided you and I don't cross each other in combat, I think we'll be fine. From there, the two of them were about to enter the shop in which he would buy the chocolate from. He walked towards the door before the two of them entered the giant candy shop. Candy, my most favorite thing in the world. Pretty pricey here too since they have amazing chocolates. Ahhh, chocolates.

From there, he sat down in a chair before he looked back up at her, a smile on his face. Well, get what you like? It is my treat after all, and don't you dare come to me with empty hands. I want you to get some candy and that's an order. Elyx said playfully as he told Auorra that she could get anything she found appealing. With Ignite in his team, he was never able to go broke. Ahhh, Ignite.

Auorra looked deep in thought and said,"How about Maple candy?Papa used to buy them for me when he was alive".It was a bit difficult to talk about her father's death and not break down but she did it.She wouldn't run this happy moment with breaking down.Not to mention it would be soo embarrassing.And the other reason was she would look weak and phateic and also because it's too emotional.

Her dark green eyes were wide in excitement.After all it wasn't everyday you meet a new friend especially a cute one at that don't reject you for the guild you're in.

I can't say I know how you feel. Elyx said as he lost himself in bad thoughts of Shadelle. He never grew up with a mother or a father, and a woman pretended to be his mother as well. He shook his head from side to side as he cleared himself from such awful thoughts, he was not here to depress the lady. After all, she seemed to be interested in the maple candy. Maple Candy it is! He announced happily as he picked out a few maple apples and taffies. To top it off, he grabbed a handful of his favorite chocolate bars. His wallet took a 5000 jewel bullet, but it was very well worth it for candy.

Here you go! Elyx happily announced as he gave her the candy hse wanted and the handful of chocolate. He then handed her his knapsack and placed her candy inside of it before handing it to her. I ask that you keep my knapsack to hold all candy and any important items to you. From that point, he tilted his head to the side and smiled, she liked Maple candy huh? He hoped to get her more when she needed it.

She took the knapsack and was surprised at how light it actually is.She thought well boys like him packed more.Oh well it wasn't her place to judge.She was enjoying her time with him.That's for sure.She blushed lightly and said,"Thank you for....well everything it's being a long time since someone is this nice and welcoming to me".And that was true as she was used to closed off and stern people.

Of course people in Savage Skull were nice but only when mainupting someone.But she's just relaxing now not mainupting anyone for today.

Anytime, it was fun! Elyx replied with his smile on his face glued onto it. It has been so long since he had this much fun, and to see that Auorra was having fun made this trip even more fun. Oh! Um, is there anywhere else you would like to go to? Anything else you would like to do? The violinist asked as he stared with curious light brown eyes. Or, at least some way we could talk to each other? The boy said to himself quietly, hoping she did not hear that.

He then placed his hands in his pockets and tilted his head to the side as he looked at the girl. His chest began to hurt him once again, or, seem like hurt. It was more like butterflies in the stomach. What is this? The boy thought to himself, still unsure of what he was feeling. It made his usual perky side go away, and he ended up seeming quieter and shyer.

Auorra thought and said,"Maybe you can walk me home ?".She had heard what he said at the end and that darkened her blush.She didn't say anything because she didn't want to embarrass him.It was so sweet of him to say that to her.Not many of her friends or past lovers say that to her.She counts herself lucky because fate let her meet such a nice gentleman.There's no other word for it.He simply is a gentleman and whoever is his girlfriend will be extremely lucky.

She hoped he wasn't scared of walking to her guild with her.Not many non members go there willing but it's not like he's her enemy or something.And he's not from a ligh guild so there's no reason for her guild mates to attack him.Even if they did she'll try to hold then off so he can escape.She has very few friends and to whoever is a true friend of hers she'll be loyal to them even if it can cause her life.

Kakuma smelled Elyx as she was walking around, causing a commotion as she did mainly cause she was in her wolf form. She took off following the scent, it lead her to a building, looking into the window she saw Elyx sitting with another woman. Kakuma looked around and found a small stall with cloaks, She ran over picked on up and tossed a Jewel note at the owner. The man exclaimed but shut up as he saw the size of the note. Kakuma stepped into the building and sat down near the two, she listened to their conversation for a while not bothering to order anything save some water and a bowl of chips. When the two left Kakuma followed using her magic to bend light around herself, she also reached out to feel the power of the woman. She was nothing compared to Kakuma, Kakuma was being nosy in reality only trying to get dirt on Elyx that she could use to pester him. She followed them listening in to their, only to have her hackles stand on end when she heard the name of the woman guild.

'e Fsy but if you're asking about guilds I'm from Savage Guild" The woman said.

Kakuma's eyes went wide, Was Elyx a spy? Kakuma shook her head, neither of them where strong enough to sense her. Kakuma frowned and sighed, she released her magic and pulled the hood to the cloak she had bought down. She quickened her pace and stepped up behind the two.

"greetings Elyx..." Kakuma said, her voice cold and and full of venom, Memory's of some of the horrors the Savage Skull was guilty of. "Who is your friend?" Kakuma tried knock the ice from her voice but didn't quite manage it.

Walk you home? Elyx asked as he tilted his head to the side. If she was so sure they would not mind him being there, he would gladly escort her to the guild. He knew his ways of getting out, with Wind Lerale Eye and his armor, he would be able to defend himself if anything goes wrong. Sure, I'd love to! The boy said as he tilted his head back up before grabbing the knapsack in Auorra's hands, just to lighten the load on her. From there, he placed his hands behind his head before he looked towards her, waiting for her to walk so that they can go to her guild.

From there, a familiar voice greeted the boy as he they were about to go. The boy stopped in his tracks as he did not even look back at first. Hello Kakuma. This is a friend of mine that I have met today, I was about to walk her home. He replied before turning his back around. The tone did not seem so happy. The guild leader might just be tired as well... Though he probably got more sleep than anyone else in the guild. She couldn't have been tired, Kakuma would be sleeping if she did. What was she even doing here anyways?I didn't do anything wrong. I don't think Auorra did either, so what's the big deal? Elyx thought to himself. Her voice sounded like it wanted to rip his new friends to shreds, but that would be unfair. So far, he had not seen her do anything wrong, and he was not willing to let anything go wrong with this. She's with me and poses no threat, I know what I am doing Kakuma. Trust me.

Auorra looked at the new woman and said not coldly but sternly,"I'm mostly known as Auorra ".After her father's death the Le Fay name was infamous but when she became Lady Le Fay she tried to make it neutral it the council's eyes.She closed her green eyes and then opened them and calmy said to the other woman,"I knew something was wrong it seems that when you're watching me you have to be a bit more quiter to spy on me. Are you a friend of Elyx?".

Auorra had sensed something or someone watching her and Elyx but shrugged it thinking it was just a curious kid.She felt nothing hostile for the women.From the women's expression she heard about the savage skull part. She will try to calm down the new girl with words and if the girl wants to fight she'll do the best to defend herself. Then she couldn't be blamed.

Kakuma glared at Elyx then the woman, "You sound almost proud to be apart of Savage Skull." Kakuma said to the woman. She looked at Elyx, "Savage Skull is a guild of murders, people who love causing suffering... and enjoy it." Kakuma reached over to her shoulder and ripper the should part of her dress, showing a ruined Savage Skull Tattoo. "I would know Elyx... i once dwelled in it walls." Kakuma looked at the woman, she was a nobody. "YOu have no bounty and so i have no reason to end your life or drag you kicking and screaming to the Magic council for Jewel." Kakuma cracked her clawed hand. "But i will not let you influence my members into going anywhere near the Savage Skull Guild hall." Kakuma valued Elyx and didn't want to see him turned, she had hear of storys of what they did to mages. Breaking their mind and setting them loose on the population. It was not a fate she wished for Elyx.

Auorra looked shocked and disgusted at the woman before spluttering,"I won't harm Elyx he's my friend.Look lady you may have problems with my guild than please take it up with my guild master.You got to stop judging everyone by the guild in.No offense but your blind if you think I'm going to let savage skull hurt Elyx.He's my friend too.Look I don't have a problem with black rose and I don't think my guild does". The woman was pretty mad when she gets back at her guild she's definitely going to do a little research. And she also can't believe that Harrigan let her get away with treason.

Savage Skull punished traitors well. That was a fact known to every guild member. But what she said was true she had very few friends and if they were a friend she'll protect them with her life if she had to.

Suffering? For their entertainment? Elyx thought to himself as he looked at Auorra. He could have imagined many moment in which she could have stabbed him in the back. Naturally, he would have been able to fend for himself, but nothing from her has proven to be guilty. But? Has she killed anyone? For fun? Auorra?From there, Kakuma took down one part of her dress to reveal quite the disturbing sight. She has been a part of Savage Skull... And she just described it as a guild designed to murder for fun. Was she seriously that woman to do the same thing? Kakuma!? Elyx exclaimed as his light brown eyes shot up, not a bit of his voice hiding his shocked state.

Elyx hung his head down, blurring out the rest of the world as his mouth instantly shot into a frown. His hair covered his face as he began to walk. I... Just need a minute. The boy said as he stood in place, thinking about what he should be doing with his life now. He desperately wanted to trust, but the world around him did not let him. It's not like it was for any bad reasons, but he just wanted to see at least a little good in everyone and give them at least one chance. But what if we end up on the battlefield? What would we do then? Elyx thought to himself as he closed his eyes. By law I can not do this anyways...

Kakuma, I am going back to the guild. Elyx said to himself as he began to walk once again, exactly to where he said he would be going. And... Auorra, I just hope you don't end up... Like one of them. From there, he continued walking, not taking a moment to glance back. Where was Ignite when he needed her?

Auorra sighs and runs a hand threw her hair,"She's maybe right Savage Skull is a place where people murder people for fun but what do I know as I'm a new member".There she said it.She closed her eyes and flash back to the meeting with Harrigan. He was charming in the front but Auorra was thought by her parents to look deep. Honestly she felt pity for him and anger at the wife that stabbed him in the back.

Savage Skull was a new beginning to her. Almost like a new family. And Auorra will never betray her family. She could only hope that they get the weapons from the council without too much civilian blood. She cared not if the council was harmed. They deserved it for what they did to her family.
