It's My Turn (Intro/Open)

Damn it..why did the only Guild that she could believe in have to be all the way out in the desert? That was what was going through Tyra's mind as she plodded through the desert, on her way to a specific guild, one that she had heard only through rumors and news of what they had done. The guild? Pharaoh's Call. A guild focused entirely around both spreading justice and bettering the lives of others. It was a cause she could believe in. Still, her normal choice of attire..slightly made her rather frustrated in the heat. She was currently wearing a purple long sleeved shirt, with her signature cross across the chest. Beneath that, she wore a skirt with black boots, mostly so she could keep her footing. Of course, none of this covered the biggest point of shame for her: The series of scars across her neck.

So, to avoid being questioned about them, and to generally just avoid stares, she wore what equated to a collar extender, making her shirt more of a turtleneck. She didn't enjoy the looks she got. Most people assumed she attempted to kill herself. Nobody guessed what she had gone through, and most people just outright avoided her. Still, she was stronger now than she was on that day. So, as the guild hall peeked over the horizon, she sped up her movement, hefting her bag over her shoulder again, having only the essentials on her person at the moment.

Getting up to the hall itself took at least another hour in this damned heat though. She didn't quite mind. She was almost at the end of the long road she had started down on was coming to its close. She approached the doors, and-with a fair level of nervousness-pressed her hands against them, pushing them open. She didn't open her mouth to speak as she entered the guild hall. Instead, she reached out with her mind. Anyone close enough to the entrance would be able to hear what sounded like a very quiet woman.

"Hello? Is anyone here..?" The message echoed out throughout the minds of anyone that was nearby. What would likely cause a fair amount of curiosity in those who could hear her was that they would know without much issue what direction the voice that echoed in their heads was coming from. She waited in her perpetual silence, standing and waiting for whatever welcome she was about to receive.

Pharaoh's Call was quite the quiet guild. There were only a few members that were actively around, of which she could count on one hand. It was a sad thing for her, though she enjoyed being able to interact with each one at the same time. The nine tailed fox was in a different form today, one she had been given when her cosmic eating magic had been bestowed upon her. This form was that of a dragon, one that looked more high tech than a real one, but obviously alive. Although very large the open spaces of the massive guild hall allowed plenty of room for her to be in that form, which meant the possibility of naps where one would be afraid to bother her.

A nap was exactly what she was doing when a sudden burst of words entered her mind, from no real direction. What was it? A monster? Was the guild surrounded by something that echoed it's announcement in all directions? Or was it something else? Curiosity got the best of her in the end, and from what would be a few doors down from the one called she would use her own telepathy to broadcast her own message to those that were nearby. "There is someone here, and I can hear you. Where are you so that I can see you in person?" The woman's words were one's of the wise. She could not see this person, nor did the guild master know her intentions. Once she got her location the celestial pharaoh would simply make her way to the stranger in the form she was currently in. What better way to get the truth than through a startle, right? And if it turned out to be someone friendly she would have to make quite the apology. Nowadays? Better safe than sorry!

When she heard a response shot back into her own head, Tyra couldn't help but blink. She..hadn't really run into another with the gift of telepathy before. Still, she had asked a question. She assumed that this was likely someone within the guild. There was a moment of silence between the two people who could speak telepathically before Tyra's "voice" made a noise similar to clearing its throat before speaking up. "I'm standing in the main doorway. I'm hoping that I can meet the guild master today..I want to join." She responded simply, even as she stepped into the guild hall, her focus slightly shifted towards the rather..strange sights she was seeing. She came originally from the simple Shirotsume Town. There wasn't exactly a lot going on there. Hell, most of the people there didn't even know magic, in her experience.

And of course, learning magic wasn't exactly encouraged, most people saw it as a waste of time..or at least, her family had. It was part of the reason she ran away. She wandered the world for a while, and eventually picked up something that just..came to her, along with her ability to basically tell other Mages to piss off with some of their spells. She had to dig around for a name for what she had learned, and found Maguilty Sense. That had been almost a year ago. She had done some basic training with it, and was pretty much convinced she wouldn't reach much further heights with this new power of hers without help from others. To that end, she had started to look around. Eventually she'd heard rumors of a Guild that believed in spreading Justice. And so, here she was. Looking around this really strange guild hall had her convinced she wanted to join. This place just..felt more like home than her hometown ever could. Eventually, she just stood around, waiting a few feet away from the door. Hopefully today could be a good day. A day that changed her life for the better.

If there is on thing Justin hated about this base it was the sand that got inside, Justin held no grudge with sand just simply it getting inside the guild hall As he was cleaning out some of the sand from the guild hall because you can't impress the ladies with a dirty base. he then heard an echo come through the guild hall or three one was different then normal but he would invest age that momentarily for now he had to introduce himself after all what kind of man would he be if he reject an offer. As he started walking he had to find the origin of the message but eventually heard the message say they were at the entrance of the guild hall. He sighed a bit and kept on going making his way there wondering if Aiyanna had made her self known since she was the first on he saw but regardless he needed to go meet this person...because he was Justin Tyme and it would be a huge honor to meet him thus making any trip instantly worth it.

Ah hegot to the guild halls entrance he saw a younger girl standing there he blinked twice looking at her AS he walked up he was rubbing his neck looking at her. "Man Aiyanna need to get this place more water cause i'm seeing things...because there is no way a beautiful girl like you just walked to our guild hall." He said with his trade mark suave smile "But just in case your not a mirage the names Justin, Justin Tyme Welcome to Pharaohs Call please come in if you'd like I can show you around or something f that nature." he said reaching into his pocket using his size magic to enlarge a business card to normal size which had his name written very elegantly on it that said to stand above others to protect those below. He held it out to her waiting for her to take it or reject it ether out come he was ready for but for now he would just wait smiling at her new girl who walked into there home.

The entire guild had remained silent for a good portion of the morning so far, which made some time to be able to relax a very easy thing to do. It wasn't something that she really minded every once in a while, lazing around for the day and just taking some time to spend with others. The small figure nestled up against what she had been leaning against for the last couple of hours now, something of which she wasn't quite used to the very idea of enjoying. One part of her mind had been a little worried and skeptical of the appearance, simply due to everything she knew about herself and of others out there. However in the same sense, she felt safer just knowing that the being taking this form was both her leader and her mother had it's own mental form of assurance in being safe. Unfortunately, that hadn't stopped the nagging feeling in the back of her mind of everything else she kept there.

Slowly sliding to the next page in her book, she occasionally peered over at the sleeping beast she leaned against while she read. Each time she had, she needed to recollect her thoughts before being able to go back to reading, but felt it was a good way to get used to it as soon as she could. Well... At least she could try to see if that way worked for her. She jumped for a moment as she felt the sleeping beast rustle in its resting place, picking her head up and looking off into the distance. For a moment, she starred at Aiyana wondering what she had heard, or felt, or sensed even. Setting her book down and standing up to her feet, a sighing tone broke the silence between the two. "I think I'm going to get a drink.. Do- Do you want anything, mama?" She waited a moment to hear anything, if she even could before leaving the room.

The sound of muffled voices made her pause in her steps, looking around to try and find out where it was this sound was coming from. The muffling voice began again and trying to seek it out, noticed it had come from the doors to the hall... Which was strange since she never remembered the doors ever being locked during the day time. She scratched her cheek curiously as she looked off in the bit of distance to the door, partially due to her smaller stature for sure. After a moment, she had found a pair of people standing near the doorway, one seeming to be a little more newer to the place than the other. The look on her face of how enthralled she had been of her surroundings reminded her of when she joined, so it felt pretty nice to see it again. "Hello there, you two. Are you both new here or something?" She asked, speaking aloud and trying to reach the pair, less they were both deaf and she was just making an idiot of herself.

More words would reach her mind, telling the dragon that the stranger was in the main doorway and was looking for the guild master. "Wishing to join? I see...I shall be there in a few moments. Please stay where you are, I do not wish for you to be injured because of my arrival." Aiyana would hear Madison's words as she did the telepathic speaking as well, though only gave a shake of her head to say no. The woman was not thirsty, and had no want to drink anything for fun right now; not with a potential new member to her guild waiting for her. Once the young girl left the room, the woman would move into a curled up position, as if there were something physical there, before teleporting into the throne room that was also the main room to be entered from.

In the main throne room, should anyone be paying attention, the cosmic dragon would seem to blink into existence while wrapped around the throne that sat there. Head would uncurl from the relaxed position to look at the main doorway, which now had three people there. The two she recognized were Justin Tyme and Madison. Both surely came to see what was going on, either hearing the telepathy or noise coming from the doors being opened, and were now seeing that the visitor was being welcomed in their own special ways. The next words spoken using her telepathy, as she had yet to learn to speak with the mouth of this form, would be possible for them all to hear; whether they had the power to speak telepathically or not. "It is good to see you here, visitor. My name is Aiyana Shuer, and I am the guild master of Pharaoh's Call."

Almost immediately after she responded to the first voice, more people deigned to show up. At first, this was an exciting prospect for Tyra. This didn't seem to be a very large guild, and that meant that she wouldn't have any trouble remembering everyone in the guild itself. However, the moment the first arrival-a dark haired man that appeared to be around her age-started to speak, she found herself rather annoyed. Her face was a neutral mask, even as she politely took the business card he offered. It was a nice gesture to try and be welcoming, but she didn't like the blatant flirting. She just stared at him, focusing her telepathy on just him now. Her voice would be much louder within his head now.

Look. I get that your probably a nice person, given the company you keep. But I really don't want to be hit on. I came here to join, not to get hit on. So, would you kindly stop? After she finished speaking-something which she did without moving her lips-she slowly tore up the business card, doing it slowly and carefully, that way he got the point. Of course, soon after, another person arrived. The moment she spoke, Tyra's head shot up and she simply walked forward a few more feet, being careful not to scratch anything with the Lance slung across her back, nor with one of the many spikes of the whip that was poking out of her bag. She was already in the main hall, but still. As she tried to focus on the new arrival, yet another person appeared. This time however, Tyra was left to have her eyes widen, her bag hitting the ground as her arm went limp.

She had never seen a dragon of any type. She had heard the rumors of their existence, and was even aware of the magic that they were said to be able to teach. And yet, she came face to face with a dragon, apparently one that was the guild master. She introduced herself, and that seemed to be the action that spurred her. She immediately picked up her back again, instinctively clearing her throat-a very gravelly sound compared to the way it should normally sound. Once again, she did not open her mouth to speak. Instead, she looked to Aiyana, focusing her Telepathy on the guild master before speaking.

It is an honor to meet you, Miss Shuer. My name is Tyra Gassion. I've crossed most of Edolas to find this place..I have come hoping to join this guild. It is the only one that has actually caught my eye, seemingly the only one to share my morals. She explained, stepping closer to actually stop being a tiny speck in the background, her lance accidentally scratching against part of the wall as she stepped forward, the spiked whip she also carried began unfurling, bouncing against her leg with each step, somehow miraculously not stabbing her as she walked and came to a slow stop, looking up at the dragon, very intimidated by her stature and size.

Justin heard her voice and remained how he was in his head happily humming. this was a very interesting ability she had going for her. However maybe he layed it on a bit strong since she was new but hey you have to test the waters some how and now he knew. with that being said as she accepted his card he smiled taking a step back from her smiling. "sorry i'll keep it to a minimum with you." he shrugged looking back at her as he rubbed his neck a little. He was sure after a while he would get used to it but he would have to ease her into it first which would be easier said then done but hey he was always one for a challenge.

As he saw his guild mate walk in saying how they should come further in he heard he ask if they were both new....oh man his ego felt that one he had been a member of the guild for a few months now however it must have been a mistake because it would be ablsoluty impossible to forget about him Justin Tyme...though if it is just this once he would allow it, but before he could respond he was teleport to the throne room which is when he saw something he wasn't expecting, a dragon curled around the throne. Justin took an instinctive step back in slight panic though not showing his panic since he had an image to uphold. but then the dragon spoke.

Upon Justin hearing that that was actually Ayianna he blinked twice, his guild master could turn into a dragon...wow that was something e couldn't help but say something about it as he looked her over briefly. "wow not only are you beautiful but your even more badass then I though I can't wait to see more.." he would say with a bit of a sly grin but for him that was normal. Although then Tyra introduced herself and he smiled thinking about it carefully. The guild shared her morals huh..heh he would have to think about that a bit but that was a talk for another day.= though he was now more interested then before but said nothing so he didn't insulting her further. he just gave a smile and looked at Aiyanna again.

So the girl that was here went by the name of Tyra Gassion, interesting. It was nice to know that such an out of the way guild could pull someone so young out to where they resided, being in another country that they ran. The girl, upper teens from the looks of her, walked closer until she had to look up to see her head. It was a brave thing to do, especially around strangers and a supposed dragon. A toothy grin, or what a dragon could pull off as one, was made before she put words into the mind of the other. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Tyra. To make such a long distance journey must have been difficult alone, but we are here for those that wish to join." The words would be said before the dragon moved slightly, tail rustling loudly behind the throne as scales scraped against the walls. "Allow me to go into a more comfortable form for us all. As Justin has mentioned, in his own way, this form is not something meant for conversation and relaxing amongst others." The words would be said before she began to grow smaller, much smaller, and eventually became the nine tailed fox that everyone knew her for. Though there was one small difference, she wore a mask of one called 'Anubis' that allowed her telepathic thought while outside of her dragon forms.

"Much better! Now, if you have any questions please feel free to ask them. I will understand anything you say." These words would be said telepathically, directly to Tyra only, before she looked to the others in the room and actually spoke aloud. "This girl has come a long way. Would you two please bring some food and water for her to have while we chat?" With that said she would return her focus to the new one, still speaking aloud to her. "And if you wish, you may sit upon the throne and rest. There are no other seats nearby unless we travel further in, and you deserve to rest now." The woman would move aside, allowing the girl to sit while Aiyana stood next to the object of rest.

The moment that Aiyana started moving, every nerve and muscle in Tyra's body told her to run, get away, this was danger. But-somehow-she managed to stay standing still, nodding lightly at what was said as she watched the dragon shrink down, her cheeks flushing as she saw what her real form was. She was admittedly extremely attractive, and the mask was a nice touch, and fit the general theme of the whole guild. The response that only she could hear was also very nice. She had yet to meet someone so willing to keep a private method of speaking private. She could be candid if she wished, and generally was able to be herself. She liked that. She was even free to ask questions to the woman privately. Of course, the one that was at the forefront of her mind came first. Why in the hell is the guild in a Desert? She blurted out privately, her cheeks flushing a bit more as she realized that Aiyana and only Aiyana would be able to hear it.

Still, when the others were sent away, Tyra definitely relaxed visibly. She didn't exactly like being in groups. She much preferred to do things on her own, because then she didn't run the risk of anyone seeing the shame she hid so effectively with her long collars. However, one thing that Aiyana did actually made Tyra visibly nervous. She didn't say anything as she took a seat, letting out a low sigh of relief as she finally got off of her feet for now. Though she was relaxing, it was obvious she wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of taking what was so obviously meant to be Aiyana's seat. Still, she sat there regardless, noticing most definitely how warm the seat was..even though it was mostly metal with like..some padding to keep everything comfortable. She sat in silence, waiting patiently for a response to her question and for Aiyana to actually start whatever the process for joining her guild was.

It was not long after the others left the room that the sole voice entered her head with a question that made her laugh for a good moment before speaking her response. "Sorry, but that was not the question I expected from you." Words would be done telepathically out of respect for the other girl. It was clear that she was uncomfortable sitting in what was Aiyana's throne inside the main lobby of the guild hall. It was here that the people of the town around them would come to speak with her, or those from farther away but in the same country. The seat was not that important to Aiyana, it simply provided a comfortable spot and happened to be fancy at the same time. Add a beautiful female sitting atop it simply made it even harder to look away.

After a short pause, the woman thinking on how to best explain it while Tyra sat there patiently, she would explain quickly before moving on to other things. "We used to be in a smaller desert in Fiore. But we've since moved for safety reasons to claim this small country as our own. The desert gives us the upper hand against people that might be against us, and we also get to help the people that live in this desert country lead better lives by assisting them when needed. Now, one important question before I put on your tattoo...where would you like it?" Magic swirled along the fingers of the guild master's left hand as she made the image of the guild tattoo with them. All she had to do was the same thing on bare skin for it to work, though that meant physically touching where ever they asked for it to be. Hopefully this girl before her realized that now instead of as it was happening.

When Aiyana laughed at her question, Tyra felt her face flush with embarassment. Had she said something funny..? Well..she supposed that could be construed as a joke..but it was when Aiyana explained why she had started laughing-still telepathically mind you-that Tyra nodded. She seemed to sit there in thought for a few moments. It was a good question. Previously, she had wanted it to be on her shoulder..but..that would mean she'd have to show her shame..the scars on her wrists and possibly her neck as well..a leg maybe? No..then she'd be unable to wear pants when she chose to...ah-ha! She finally took the time to look over to Aiyana, rising to her feet with a soft, nervous smile. She understood that she would have to be touched, as she was making the symbol with her fingers, rather than some kind of stamp.

She then grabbed the right side of the hem of her shirt, lifting it just enough for her right side to be revealed. I think right here would be a good place for it. She said, pointing right at the center of the right side of her surprisingly flat stomach. However, it seemed she wasn't finished talking. Also..I'm mute, not deaf. I appreciate you being considerate and talking in the same way I am, but you don't need to. She explained before falling silent, seemingly waiting for Aiyana to mark her as a member of this guild. She had traveled quite a long way to come here..and really, she could prove that she had at least some skill if she needed to. Thankfully, it was seeming like she didn't need to, which was quite nice.
