Enter: The Holy Knight (Intro)

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound of heavy boots tapping against the dark wood floors echoed throughout the halls of Infinity Hydra. As his cloak shifted back and forth, Ardere turned the corner to face the stairs. As his heavy feet descended the wooden steps, his arched shoulders would prompt a shift in his attire. The cloak he bored on his back and sides would slide backwards behind the sharp shoulder blades he possessed, and turn into a cape of sorts. This shift revealed the red and gold Samurai armor he was famous for donning. Red and gold lined with kanji, leather and wooden plates stacked against one another. The guild master arrived in the tavern, with a devilish smile across his pale lips. Afternoon, friends. A loud resounding yawn escaping his maw, he found himself sauntering over to the bar as per usual. Sliding an armor covered hand across the glossed wood bar, a cup of warm sake would swiftly find itself within his grasp. The bartender of the guild was well aware of his preferred drink, as was the rest of the guild. Allowing the warm rice liquid to slid down his throat, the warm sensation would fill his fiery core to the brim. Even if his body was of fire, a warm drink was always soothing.

It was at about this time that a new scent would cross his path, one he was unsure of. The steps getting closer to the door, his enhanced slayer senses allowed him to turn at the time of an opening of the massive doors to the hall. Oh my. Almost disappearing from existence, Ardere used his full speed to dash about ten meters across the hall. A young woman falling through the air would be caught my pale armored arms, that of the guild master. Ensuring her safety, he would help her back up. Sorry about that. What kind of idiot leaves a banana peel lying around in front of the door? Retaining his confidence, he let a slight sigh escape before stepping back to give her some space. Welcome to Infinity Hydra, I'm Ardere the master. What would your name happen to be? Due to the force of gravity, the red head band slung through his thick brown locks would just now fall down to his back. When one possessed such a high speed, it was not the easiest for other things to catch up.

Shaking her hand, his pale muscular fingers would not clamp down on hers hard. Giving a nice firm handshake, but not to hurt. Ardere smiled at the young lady, giving a slight bow to welcome her. Nice to meet you Halibel, welcome to Infinity Hydra. The hall was vast, styled like that of a Midi castle. Gold statues littered the floors, walls covered in fine art, and here in the tavern the smell of alcohol and good food was not hard to come by. It was a rather nice place, hopefully giving off a homely enough feel to welcome new members. It had become a tradition to greet them at the door now, something he was beginning to get used to. His guild was expanding, growing. It was all he could hope for. Tilting his head slightly, the guild master would motion for her to take a seat at one of the tables in the tavern. Come take a seat, you can meet some of the other members. Slowly walking over to the dark wodden table, the gloss over it meant a recent cleaning had occurred. Leaning against the table, his cloak shifted to the side. Orange eyes fixed on the young lady, she seemed nice enough. Hopefully she would find this guild welcoming. So, where are you from Ms Halibel? Those who came to Infinity Hydra tended to hail from a certain walk of life, or lives. They did not just wander upon this guild, or hear good things and join. They had a set of convictions, and he was curious as to hers. Working with her and watching over her, he would need to understand where she was coming from. Fortunately for her, his demeanor was very laid back and reserved.
