A new start

Aaron's steps echoed through the empty hallways of the Black Rose. Despite the fact that he had only recently joined up, he had little trouble with the winding pathways of the building. In fact, he felt oddly at home, almost as if they resembled something just out of the reach of his memory. Next to him was his great moon cat, Luna, the silence of her steps at odds with her size. On his back was the wrapped form of his weapon, Bane of reality, a scythe that seemed to warp the air around it.

Normally Aaron might have been admiring the age of the building, but at the moment, that was far from his mind.

:Who the hell makes people get permission to be in a library! This is ridiculous!:

Luna shook her head at Aaron's telepathic rant. While he preferred to be quiet with those he didn't know, he had no qualms about speaking to her, especially since no one else could hear him, however, Luna was getting tired of this particular rant.

Have you ever heard of a library card? Anyway, your a new member, why shouldn't they make you get permission?:

Aaron simply continued to grumble, but stopped projecting. Eventually he stopped and spoke aloud.

"Just who do I have to find to get permission to peruse the library anyway?"

Kakuma was on the prowl again, if you can say a 7 foot would could ever be on the prowl. Honestly people just ignored her to indulge her, but the sight of a 7 foot wolf lurking behind stalls trying not to be seen was quite funny. It was even more funny to see her eat a large piece of meat from on of the street stall, the owner made it seem like he had lost something. Making a deal out of it, it was clearly just for her benefit but most people played along with it. As she "sneaked" a lady with red hair and a very annoyed look walked up and handed the man some jewel. The man smiled at her and spoke. "Shes at it again huh?"

"yes..." The red head replied. "Sorry for the problem... I have to catch up or she might really get in trouble."

The Stall owner laughed. "have fun... and just so you know its not a big deal, shes just trying to have fun." The stall owner went back to what he was doing as the red head ran to catch up to Kakuma, who was now three blocks up. To anyone who had not seen this before it was a very crazy thing to see. Kakuma got busted by a child who didn't know better, calling out to Kakuma with a very childish voice.

Kakuma gave a small arf like a real dog and walked up to the child, whom was maybe 3 or 4, and gave the give a big lick. The child giggled at the sloppy lick and hugged Kakuma, the childs mother laughed at the sight of Kakuma acting like a giant dog. Again... a odd site to see.

Aaron grumbled under his breath as he walked through the market square, Luna padding along at his side.

I'll know her when I see her? What's that supposed to mean! That's like telling an illiterate man that he'll know an ancient epic when he sees one! I can't believe this. I should be reading right now, but no, instead I get to hunt down an illusive 'important person' all at the words of some strange blue haired man I ran into.

Needless to say, Aaron wasn't pleased, and he was looking for someone that he could rant at. Preferably this so called important person. While he wasn't about to take his anger out on random people, he certainly shot enough glares to get some of the more skittish ones to shy away. Of course, that could also have been the large panther by his side causing them to shy away, but somehow he doubted that.

Had he been paying attention, he would have noticed children trying to run up to Luna, as if she were something they were somewhat familiar with, only to have their parents pick them up and chide them in a quiet, but not worried manner.

Eventually Aaron caught sight of a merchant chuckling, his eyes following a redheaded girl as she turned a corner. Aaron decided that he was as good of a person to ask as any for directions. He walked up to the man and got his attention quickly, getting straight to the point.

"I need to find someone from the guild, any ideas?"

The merchant was about to reply that it wasn't Aaron's business, but the tone of his voice made him reconsider, that or he saw the tattoo on the back of Aaron's hand that meant that it actually might be his business. Probably the latter.

"Aye, go around the corner, red headed girl can't miss her."

Aaron nodded and left, murmuring a quick thank you as he walked off. He quickly rounded the corner and saw the same red head he had seen earlier, chasing a large wolf.

Well, that's distinctive I guess.

Aaron shook his head and walked towards the pair, Luna staying close while keeping an eye on the giant wolf. She didn't trust that all was as it seemed.

"Hey, are you from the guild, I need help."

Kakuma's aid turned to fact the man who have approached her. "What? can i help you... i'm kinda..." girl turned to see that Kakuma had run off again. "Damn it.... You distracted me and now your going to help me catch her." Kakuma's assistant sigh to herself, turning in the direction in which Kakuma ran off.

Kakuma used the boy whom had showed up to get away from her assistant, the child she had been entertaining let out a aww as she did. Kakuma got only a block away before she got caught this time she got yelled at.

"HEY! KAKUMA! theirs someone here who needs help and i can't have you running amok while i help them." The redhead tossed a shoe at Kakuma.

Kakuma stopped as the shoe hit her flank, she tossed a annoyed glare at the persistent redhead. "Fine." Kakuma huffed and sat down. Kakuma looked at the man, she didn't recognize them. "so whos the runt?" Kakuma asked while licking her lips.
