✺ BELLY OF THE BEAT ✺ Guild Introduction ✺

The soft wind carrying various leaves through the streets of Magnolia made Zanobia and Athumani feel more and more at home. It was a slightly stormy day in the city of fairies, the sky producing a dark overcast while it rained. The rain was in the middle of a heavy rain and a drizzle, being perfect to walk through. Of course, the streets of Magnolia were cleared because of the rain besides the few people walking on the outsides with umbrellas, the rest standing under covers on the exteriors of buildings and doing various things inside their houses and workplaces. It was a rare sight to see what was traveling through the streets of Magnolia, as it was a rare sight to spot the rare dinosaur known as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As he waked down the streets with Zanobia on his back, the water slowly bounced off of his skin and onto the ground below him, slightly bouncing upward as the thuds on the ground were produced by his heavy feet. As they traveled through the streets of this heavily populated town, those standing on the outskirts of the streets seemed to gawk in awe and terror as their eyes met the t-rex, his sharp teeth overlapping his bottom-section of his mouth as he walked. Athumani did have an overbite, which made him reflect just how cute he was in addition to his personality. He paid no attention to those looking at him like he was a terrifying monster, as he knew that he was safe with Zanobia riding upon his back. He was a gentle giant despite his sharp teeth and thick skin, as if he were a giant puppy; he would never even hurt a fly.

"And you'll never get sad, and you'll never get sick..." Zanobia told the dinosaur as she pet his back, leaning in for a large hug as he walked through the city. After she had hugged him, she leaned back upward and began to look around for a place they could stop, as she wanted to drink her blue raspberry slushie. Sure, she could have drunk it on his back as they rode through the town to their next destination, but she felt like it would be much easier to drink it on solid ground. Her hair waving back and forth as he walked through the town, she quickly tapped his back in order to get his attention. "Over there... I want to drink my slushie there." she pointed toward what appeared to be an office-building of sorts, that of which caught her attention by a beautiful looking tree on the right side of its entrance. Responding to what she had asked him to do, he began to walk toward the building and down its pathway toward its entrance, his face meeting the sign that appeared to read "Fairy Tail" as she stood on his back. As her eyes met the letters above its door, she payed no attention to them, quickly hopping off his body and onto the ground under her with a steady landing.

Walking over to the tree that sat by its entrance and holding a large slushie in hand, she slumped down with her back to the tree and held the drink with both of her hands. With the leaves delicately falling from the tree as the wind blew, Athumani stood in the pathway in-front of the entrance and calmly laid down, leaving just enough room for the doors to open all the way and for members to walk in-between them and the dinosaur's side. As she took sips of her slushie, she began to cause some of the long blades of grass around her feet to levitate and intertwine with each-other, as if she was weaving them together. Athumani watched the grass fold as his eyes began to slowly shut, falling asleep to the sound of the trees rustling and faint sounds of the slushie being sucked up into her mouth. One was tired, the other was simply thirsty, as they had been riding for nearly six hours. Their destination was to return back to the Ghafi grounds, but Zanobia felt as though taking a break wouldn't hurt. After all, she did not figure that she was in-front of a building with large significance, as she did not even know what a guild truly was. As she picked up more and more of the blades of grass to weave into the others, she slowly sipped her slushie, her hair and clothes beginning to dry as the sun peeked out from the clouds and shone through the tree branches.

GUILD INTRO

@Fairy Tail

The ice-cold slushie tasted like blue raspberries and hope, something that she had deep within her heart after every monster taming session. Even though this previous hunt had failed, as the large dinosaur flew high in the sky so fast that she could not even catch up with a takeover form; hope still resonated deep within her heart. As she sipped the straw of the slushie and folded more and more grass together, her eyes immensely watched the beautiful and shiny blades slip in-between each other unison; that was, until people began to pour out of the building that she was sitting next to. What was the significance of what appeared to be an office building with the words "Fairy" and "Tail" sprawled across the walls above the door? Zanobia was entirely unaware of the existence of guilds, let alone how much of importance they were for mages; many things about the world like this were things she did not know. After all, her versions of guilds were tribes, and typically she did not come across guilds that much as she was used to not passing through towns. However, Magnolia was the only option to get home from where she had tried to tame another beast. This was because the other area she had passed through was blocked off for construction hours before she had finished, something that proved that timing was on her side in that situation. She would have flown home if it weren't for Athumani being with her at this hour, which was why she had no other option besides passing through the large city of fairies. While she did not know of guilds well, she had many maps memorized and knew exactly where many different routes connected, which was definitely useful; and why she was here.

As the people had walked closer, they looked to be two black-haired people, that of which appeared to have light skin and differ greatly in age. They got close to her location, and with that, the blades of grass quickly dispersed from their tangles and returned to the ground they were once attached to. Sitting her drink next to her on a flat root of the tree and standing up, Zanobia quickly ran toward the t-rex which was napping on the ground and hopped onto his head, hastily running up his back. She reached where his back stood in the air, which was right next to where the words "Fairy Tail" stretched across the building, and pointed towards the sign while looking directly at the two standing where she once was. "What does Fairy Tail mean?" she asked the two as Athumani slept soundly, unaffected by the girl that had just ran up his back. It was a simple question that could have meant many different things, but she was genuinely curious; after all, it appeared to just be an office building.

The office building in which Zanobia was sitting in-front of was apparently more than just an office building, being that it was an independent guild's main hub. Zanobia had heard the term "guild" thrown around before while partnering with people worldwide in regards to doing work for her tribe, but she did not know what a guild truly was. Was it like a different version of a tribe? She knew they were not connected in the slightest considering the people that were in it looking to be of all different types, but they did seem to share a similar mentality. It was not rare for tribes in Fiore to be mages as well, so the thought of an independent mage guild was interesting in the eyes of the future tribe chief. By the way the small child responded to the girl with the dark hair, she appeared to be a higher figure in said guild; being a woman in addition to someone of higher class was much more respectable in Zanobia's thoughts, therefore she figured she could be much more open with the things that she had to ask. Hopping down from the side of Athumani onto the ground below in a swift and calm manner, she approached the guild master and bowed downwards out of respect, the piercings in her ears and nose showing as the light hit them in gold color.

"I am on my way home," Zanobia began to express while she was in her state of bowing, "to Joya." the future chief of the Ghafi told Sorano with a nearly emotionless face, her eyes shimmering in a pink-red color as the golden piercings and accessories around her body glistened. After she had finished speaking, she peered over to the two men standing near each-other and made eye-contact with them as they spoke. The boy seemed to be fascinated in the dinosaur, but also wary; it was the same as how many other people acted that had not experienced them before. It made Zanobia slightly frustrated considering Athumani was anything but a threat, his eyes staying entirely shut as he began to very quietly snore due to his sleep. Walking over to Haru, she listened to him introduce himself to her and quietly blinked, her eyes not leaving his as he spoke. "I'm Zan." the girl told him with a nearly expressionless manner, her eyes looking toward the ground as her mind began to jog through ideas. What if she was to join this so-called guild spontaneously? She did not know what their purpose was, but their concept was definitely interesting. It was the first time she experienced a guild first-hand, and they seemed... cool. Maybe they could help in monster taming or something. Zanobia was unaware how her parents would feel about her joining a guild, but it would most likely be more better than worse.

"Athumani is friendly, he doesn't hurt things.." the tribal girl told the taller man standing near the boy, which appeared to not like the t-rex being in his location. He wasn't in the worst positioning in the world; the door could still open, people would just have to walk around him a bit. "If I join, we could ride him places." she told the man, her eyes widening as she had just realized what she said. Zanobia was still not so sure if she wanted to join; she did not want to say anything about joining verbally, but it apparently decided to slip out. A slight blush began to show on her cheeks, a rosy pink color that contrasted slightly with her tan skin. Did she truly want to join? Usually, spontaneous decisions worked out well for the little girl. Hopefully this one would work out if she was able to.
