Hell of a welcome

Kiersa was down on the surface side of the guild hall, going through one of the meditation techniques that her Spirits had suggested she try out... Well, it was something to do to pass the time whilst she waited for whoever this mystery person was that Raven had her waiting for. Apparently the Guild Master was expecting some form of guest, and had asked her as her Ace to be there to greet and welcome them to Sabertooth.

Whoever it was that warranted an Ace puzzled the blonde nun. If it was one of the Wizard Saints, then surely there would be a bit more notice, but nope. Raven simply told her to wait for whoever it was... she didn't even tell her the name of the person that's meant to be coming.

Part of her wondered if this was some kind of strange prank that she'd picked up from Cirven. She'd noticed that those two had gotten close before he had vanished... maybe Raven was trying to keep a little bit of him around by pulling these strange acts. Kiersa shrugged before resuming her meditation as she waited.

Heat..It’s really a pain in the ass. Even for someone wearing white, it was still hot. Lucky for Vexel, the world loved him! The sarcasm. Just plain out, Vexel had hate for the desert. The first bit of the treck was annoying before he decided to take a moment to form a cloud of darkness that hovered over him till he would eventually reach the Sabertooth guild. When the building came into sight, part of him cried for the fact he was home, and the other part of him cried for the fact that he was out of Marshmallows!

Long ago, he had taken off his coat, and wrapped around his waist, showing off his scarred arms from where he would cut himself, and also his thinned body. His undershirt was stained with sweat, and his hair stuck to the sides of his face. With the building not even a minute away, he dropped down to his knee. The cloud was still above him, so anyone who was nearby he knew would eventually come investigate, but he wasn’t going to take another step till he rested some.

A dull thump pulled Kiersa's attention from her meditation and to the desert outside the surface level guild hall. Raising an eyebrow she got up and went to investigate, blinking when she saw a small black cloud hovering over a nearly half naked sweating man covered in scars kneeling in the sand. She quickly ran over to them believing that he had nearly fainted from the heat and exhaustion, pulling out a water-skin from beneath her robes and uncorking it.

"Are you alright?" she asked, offering the water-skin to him, looking over him to gauge his state of health. The scars looked old and there wasn't much she could do for them even with her Stigmata magic, assuming he would even want her to make the attempt... some people were fond of their scars for some reason. And there wasn't anything she could do magically speaking for exhaustion. All she could do was offer him a hand up and maybe get him towards the comforting shade of the surface level of the guild hall.

Vexel blinked as he heard the voice of the nun asking if he was alright. He looked up from the ground in which he was looking at and squinted some to see through the sunlight. ”Oh lord. Thank the Marshmallows! They have delivered upon me a savoir in the form of a pretty nun!” He said, his voice raised to show a dramatic effect. His demonic influenced eyes widened and looked over her to see the waterskin. He quickly snatched it from her, and sucked down a good gulp of it’s content before handing it back to her.

”I’m all fine now. Needed some water to keep me going. Long trek across that sandbox. So, is this Sabertooth ma’am?” He said as he began to stand, woddly at that. Though the cloud quickly changed from unsculpted, and sloppy form to a solid-ish parasol that was large enough to shade both of them. ”Please tell me it is. I’d hate to have found out I went the wrong way.”

Kiersa briefly froze as she saw the man's eyes... those... baleful... demonic... eyes... His words barely reached her ears, her mind flashing back to the last time she had seen eyes like those... "Stigmata of Damocles! Double!" the blonde nun hurriedly invoked, her hands falling lifeless as the divine blades surged forth from her wrists, blood dripping from her wrists onto the desert sand.

Each blade was a metre long and hummed with holy magic, and more importantly, each one was trying to find its way into burying itself into Vexel. "I will not allow you to harm my guild, my family demon! Not again!" the blonde nun declared, fearing that this was the same demon from her past, disguised in human flesh.

Damocles:

His senses went on high alert as he saw her pause. It was his eyes. He quickly jumped back, but ensured he was still within 20 ft of her. At the same time a small string of words would leave his lips. Chains of Mephistopheles! He quickly spat. Following four lengths of chains would slip from her own shadow. Two of them quickly went for her legs, and the other two would attempt to go for her arms. In his mind he had his doubts that this would work. She was a nun of sorts, bloody as her magic was, she must have some type of light.

He gulped some as his hand went up, and pointed to the chains that would’ve wrapped around her legs, and possibly her arms. I’m not a demon! I’m a Demon SLAYER. Would the guild master have invited me here if I was a threat?! He said as the chains gave off what could be considered a holy type of feeling with a white outline.

When the chains of shadows started to emerge, the nun struggled before dispersing her Damocles blades, as if she were surrendering, her body sinking to the floor. When he claimed to be a Demon Slayer, the visual evidence of his white ringed chains seemed to support this claim... but she decided to put it to the test just to be certain. "Stigmata of the Penitent!" invoked Kiersa, her own chains surging forth to encase the man, hers made of pure holy magic.

As they sought to try and restrain the man, they could not reach him for some reason... the spell would not latch onto him. She could feel it to be true even though her eyes ran red with blood from her spell, rendering her blind for the time being. "...You... you're telling the truth..." she said softly, the divine chains dispersing like motes of light. "S-Sorry... I just... she never told me who... or what... was coming today... and... when I saw... It..." the nun trailed off, unsure of what to do next. She'd just tried to kill the Guildmasters invited guest because she had thought he was a demon... Raven was never going to let her hear the end of this, that much was certain.

Penitent:

Vexel would sigh as she fell. He stood straight as he looked up to his little conjured parasol, and waved his hand. The shadows broke down, most disappearing before a small chunk formed into a small puppy. It was only temporary, but it was just a gesture to him. The puppy ran over to the little nun, and would try to lick her cheek before he also dismissed the chains. ”Clean up some. It was just a misunderstanding and all. I won’t tell the Guildmaster what just happened, ya know? He said with a smile as he pulled a rag from his pocket, and had a chain from the sleeve of the coat that was tied around his waist to extend it over to him. Let it be known, he doesn’t like blood on him.

When the chains dispersed from her she tried to get back to her feet... right before something suddenly pounced on her and began licking all over her face. "Eep!" she squeaked, thinking that this Demon Slayer was trying to do... something to her and was completely insane... before she heard his voice away from the source of the licking.

She wiped most of the blood from her eyes using her sleeve being unable to see the offered handkerchief, the clothes getting quite used to it by now in this stage of their life. However she was still blind for the time being and was struggling to get up with whatever it was that was on top of her licking her frantically.

OOC: I blame vexel for this but following orders. 




IC: Since the leaving of the guild he knew that he was going to have to find another one. This would not take long for him since he was the kind of person who would lend his power out. He had heard that Vexel had joined the legal guild Sabertooth. THis alone did not make it easy but when he was being treated as nothing more then a Janitor it was about time to leave.He had listened to alot of the stories and even followed the rumors. Takashi sucks when dealing with the heat and with that he didnt understand why they all went away to a guild in the desert. Takashi sucked when it came to the heat he feels like he is ready to die. 


"WHY do they have to be in a desert why not a simple village". he moaned and groaned as he was heading towards the area in which his information was being done. Takashi hated that and still wanted to see what brought vexel there. A few hours later he had finally reached the bar in which he was able to see two people there standing in what looked like a simple battle. Takashi was shocked that right there in the middle of it all is the old Shadow demon slayer of black rose. fighting what looked like a nun. " So the rumors are true huh Vexel. The shadow demon as finally moved to Sabertooth. You know Kakuma is going to Hate that as well as me leaving. " his eyes and body did not show any signs as to what he was but he did notice that the nun was injuried." Allow me sister." he focused his magic as he let the water flow. His hands came around with the black water as he began to cast cure. 



When the spell went off it would heal some of her wounds but would make sure that they would be sealed down a bit. " If Sabertooth would have another i would love to join as well sister. I'm Takashi the Torrent God Slayer." he would look at her and wonder if it was a good idea to be joining this guild knowing that kakuma was going to hate it but at this point he didnt care. Takashi didnt care about much when it came to black rose that he was ready to move on.

The nun blinked as she heard another voice approach them, wondering if Raven had invited another person to come to Sabertooth as well. When their healing waters touched her eyes she found herself being able to see much sooner than she would have with her usual Stigmata. "Thank you." she said before the man introduced himself.

Kiersa blinked. "Torrent... God Slayer..." she said, her mind deciding that it had dealt with enough today and put her body into shut down mode... in short, she fainted. First a Demon that turned out to be a Demon Slayer, and now a God Slayer turned up as well. If this was some ploy of Raven's she was sooo going to be getting it later. For now, she just resigned herself to the dark abyss of unconsciousness.

Emilia stepped out of the teleporation room in the bar. She had come down here to drink and relax. The door to the room opened and she stepped out before casually slamming it behind her. With a quick glance around the tavern, she found her usual corner by the window and sat down. A look outside revealed the unconscious nun with two men standing nearby. She grunted, somewhat annoyed, since she would probably have to check this out or receive a scolding of some kind. With that she got up and stepped outside. "The hell is going on out here? You two break the nun, or did she break herself?" She demanded, her voice, and face, showed that she didn't particularly care about the answer, and carried the impression that she'd had enough of this shit, despite having just stepped outside. She didn't enjoy the desert heat and would have preferred to stay indoors, but noooo, something just had to happen to interrupt her relaxation time before it even began. She kind of half hoped that these guys were hostile so she could have a good fight at the very least, take out her anger on something. Then again, no one would be stupid enough to attack someone right outside a guild hall, so these guys were probably newcomers, which meant there'd be a ruckus of noise and annoyance in the guildhall while everyone came to meet them. No one seemed to ever want to just come in quietly like she and Eli did.

As he heard Takashi’s first bit of bitching he would sigh as his arms came up to cross, his hands slipping into his sleeves to grip his forearms. His head cocked to the side before standing straight up. ”God damn it Takashi. You see what you did?” He would say after he watched the nun fall the ground before sighing. His attention was quickly switched from his former and once again soon to be guildmate over to the new girl. His attention tweeked some before he laughed some.

“I don’t know about my friend here Takashi, but Raven your guild mistress invited me here to join the Sabertooth ma’am. It seems that she broke over a meeting a Demon slayer, and God slayer at once.” He would say with a peaceful smile as he bowed slightly out of respect before he moved over to the nun and looked to the girl again. “I’m going to carry her in. I don’t want her to suffer from any kind of heat stroke out here. We can talk more once we get inside. Vexel would say as he slipped his arms under her body, and lifted her against his body. ”Shall we?

Takashi laughed a bit as he listened to vexel shortly after the nun feinted. He was right to assume that maybe joining this new guild would make it easier  on him and maybe not make him a janitor. takashi would look at Vexel " Vexel it wasnt me and from the looks of it your the one who scared her. Shes a nun and your eyes scream demon atleast i sorta look normal." This would definitly be a interesting guild compaired to black rose but hell he did not care one bit as to what he was going to be joining. Sabertooth is a well known guild in all of the kingdom so why not lend his strength to them.  His attention was taken by another woman who just came out of the building behind them. 


" I was not invited but i know of sabertooth and wish to add my strength to the guild. So i kinda followed Vexel here." Takashi looked from the three of them back to the nun and nodded his head in agreement when vexel mentioned about taking this inside. He didnt know what vexels plan was but he knew that no matter what he was going to enjoy this guild a lot more then he did was a janitor of black rose. " I agree vexel lets take her inside out of this heat i feel like i am evaporating out here." he motioned for the new woman to lead the way as he did not know what was going on except that he assumed the building was the guild hall.

Great. Newcomers, just what Emilia needed to cause a ruckus of people wanting to meet them. These two were peculiar, one wearing an eyepatch, the other apparently had some sort of demonic eyes. Both were slayers, for whatever that was worth. She didn't find anything remarkable about them, I mean they could eat an element, but that was about the only interesting thing about them to her. Fighting one for her would be no different from fighting another elemental mage. A'ight, sure, whatever. Come on in and take the nun in, too. Just makin' sure you weren't killing her or anything." She said with an apathetic tone.

With that she walked back inside, not bothering to hold the door for them. She went up to the bar and ordered herself a drink. When they entered, she'd point to the door that had the teleportation lacrima behind it. "Go through there if you want to get to the real guildhall." She took a sip of her beer as was given to her. "If you want a drink before you go up, they have pretty much anything you might need here."

Pleasant Laughter filled the gaiety air of Sabertooth guildhall as Raven, their guild master, sat amidst the little ones, telling the tiny troublemakers stories about kings, queens and lions while indulging in the stories they told in turn. Raven felt like a free bird finally out of her cage that day. The paperwork was already done and neatly placed on top of her desk back in the office. Thanks to Raven’s indifference and laziness, a lot of it had piled up for weeks until someone dragged her back, scolding and reminding her all the way for not being responsible. And then, like an obedient child, she had stayed locked inside the cold office, working through papers all night. It was because of this predicament that she had sent Kiersa to pick up a certain someone and escort them to the guild. They were being awfully late though. But it didn’t worry the raven much. Unless Kiersa mistook that guy for a demon and attacked him or he attacked her, she was fine with whatever they were doing. Kiersa needed a life too, right?

“So kids! The lion saw his own reflection down the well and know what happened?! He jumped! Thinking that another lion had come to take his place, the real one jumped into the well, roaring furiously at his own shadow! Thus the rab-,” Raven didn’t get to complete her sentence when the guild hall erupted into loud chatter. Ah! They got here already?
