Rowan Peeks Into Hydra (Intro)

BGM:  Baal's Entrance
A giant wave of energy rushed in Nazaki's direction.  An large invisible fist barreled towards the man, hoping to make contact with him and launching him across the room abruptly.  Baal was within earshot of the comment made by Nazaki.  Clearing his throat, he walked into the room calmly in new attire.  The garb worn looked more classic and more refined than his typical armor and cloak.  A new look was needed to shed away the older, weaker Baal in favor of the new and improved mage.  

The man rocked gray skin and red eyes with pointed ears.  His teeth had obvious fangs where normal people had canines.  If people didn't think any better, they'd believe that he was a 'Crimson Noble' or rather a vampire.  However, Baal wasn't something as outlandish as that; but an alien certainly is outlandish enough.  Beside the man floated a large black scythe that made a silenced shrieking as it moved around the man.  

"It's very dishonest to tug at other people's heart strings, Nazaki," he said towards the heap that still is, unfortunately, Nazaki.  Baal shook his head and turned eyes red eyes back towards the stranger.  Normally, Baal would have a drink in his hands but after what had recently happened with Tyriel, he decided to throttle back on the drink and do more training.  Though, the smells are intriguing and the smell of Elysian Mead did waft into his nose.  O sweet nectar.  

"Don't mind the moron.  So you're a new person to the guild, hm?" he asked inquisitively before removing the hat from his head, holding it to his chest.  "Well then, welcome to the Infinity Hydra.  To be honest, I would have named it 'Infinite Hydra' but those are mere semantics.  Have you already received your tattoo?" he simply asked, keeping an eye on Nazaki, swinging his scythe over towards him with a terrifying howl as the floating weapon moved between himself and the silver haired monkey.

"Actually, before that, let me ask you something," he asked before moving his bare hand up to stroke his beard.  "Why did you decide to become a Hydra?"  Yes, Baal is this inquisitive with all members of the Hydra that he helped welcome.  He wanted to make sure that the guild received the best of the best and the most loyal.  With all that has happened in the Guild and all that has happened to himself, he grows wary and paranoid of possible agents of the Narukami.  

BGM:  Baal's EntranceBaal smiled and nodded at the newcomer.  "Well, those are some honorable reasons.  Remember that if you betray the family, I'll kill you," he said before clearing his throat and turned to look towards Nazaki with a big smirk upon his face.  "If you want to become strong, you've come to the right place.  I, too, sought out power and have found it," he said before turning his eyes back towards Rowan.  Baal had been on the search for power for over a hundred years now.  What was once a power grab so he could retake his kingdom upon his planet became a power grab for more noble causes.  The woman he loved had something tragic happen to her due the Guildmaster's past catching up; embroiling the guild in a war of clans.

"Or you could be like this potato here," he said before pointing towards Nazaki.  "Your choice, new guy, but I suggest finding someone strong to teach you the ways of magic.  Don't pick that potato to be your teacher, either."

And then the insult came.  The tiphat was tipped downwards to hold in his laughter.  What a silly, strange string of insults. Baal turned his shoulders a moment to look back towards Rowan and shrugged his shoulders.  "I rest my case."   A gentle sigh came across Baal's lips before turning his eyes back towards Nazaki for a moment, tipping his black top-hat towards Nazaki once more.

"I'll leave the rest to you," he said then looked back towards Rowan. "If you need any help with anything, including potatoes like him," Baal said as she hooked a thumb towards Nazaki. "Let me know." With that, Baal recalled his scythe into his hand and walked off.
