Simon kicked back in his fancy nest office. The lofty lookout point was now a popular haunt for him since rebuilding the guild in its new image. It had been a while since he had done much of anything, Guild Master or mage related. He had taken to just spending his time sitting at the "summit of the world," guild master of his home and "God of Ishval," there didn't feel like much more to strive for some days. But today he would be taking action. For this otherwise peaceful afternoon was interrupted by a curious beeping noise. Simon recognized it and looked down at his bare chest where a faint light was shining through. "Guess it is time to get to work." Simon looked at his right hand "It seemed like a good idea at the time and it is really hard broiled to show off but..." Simon stabbed his index and pointer finger into his chest, "This is a pain in the ass!" He ripped out a small yellow glowing lacrima as his face grimaced in pain. He looked at the small wound on his chest where his phoenix flames were already begaining to heal "Hold up boys I'm going to need to put it back here in a second." As if in response his healing flames stopped working their magic and awaited their master's command.
Simon rolled the glowing and beeping lacrima in his mildly bloody hand before pressing it between his fingers "I'm listening. What's going on?" A voice came over the communication lacrima "Time to earn that godly title of yours Simon. We found the spider's web." Simon shot to his feet and practically yelled "Holy shit! About time. I'll be right there. Who am I working with?" The voice paused for a short but painful time then said "Just you this time kid. This is your trial. Besides we can't contact the others." Simon grit his teeth, he was getting a reasonably bad feeling about this, but he relaxed and accepted it anyway "Alright. I'm on my way." Before his retainer could say another word Simon shoved the lacrima back into his chest and allowed his regenerating flames to heal over it. He jumped from his office, through the branches of the guild tree and flew into the sky "White Walk!" Simon's feet hit the ground, or rather the air. The sheer force of each step compressed the air under his feet allowing him to stand on air. As such he sprinted across the sky in the direction of Era, it was time for the God of Ishval to show his worth.
