The sound of holographic nails slowly tapped the surface of the bar in which Desirée was sitting at, a beige piece of paper sitting directly next to them along with a rose-gold iLac that sat facing downwards. "What would you like to drink, master?" the bartender asked the blue-haired idol with a smile, cleaning a glass with a white and golden rag that sat behind the counter. "A mojito to go, please! In one of those Styrofoam cups, the big ones." she told the boy as he nodded in response, placing the cup in which he was cleaning on the clean rack and tucking the rag into his back pocket. Lief was a blessing, especially for Desirée, as he provided her with the best drinks at the guild hall; working every day out of the generosity of his heart. He showcased his bar-tending talents every time he mixed a drink, and all he wanted in return was the ability to bear the guild mark. It was beautiful, and something that the guild master tipped every chance she could. Sitting beside her in one chair were the three of her pets, being Kiwi, Strawberry, and Pitaya; all ready to go on a mission. The Guild Master was ready as well, with a beige messenger-bag slung across the back of her chair filled with the things she would wish to bring on a mission that would possibly last a day or so. Her weapons all on her at this hour and her traveling gear on fresh, if one would look at her at this time they would most likely get the hint that she was going to go somewhere to do something; like a job!

As Lief mixed her drink delicately at the back counter of the bar, Desirée looked down at the paper that sat directly in-front of her and began to skim it once again, retaining the information that was present in each line of text. The mission looked to be easy for her rank, therefore she did not feel as though it would take long to complete. Treasure Hunters... they held similar ideals to some of the members of Crystal Swan, but they seemed to have much different motives; they were dark, and the Magic Council wished to be able to stop them and be able to keep the treasure on display instead of in their hands. "The drink is ready, master! Here you go, entirely fresh with the best of lime and mint." he told her as he placed the drink on the table, "Oooh, what's this? A job!". He picked up the piece of paper that sat in-front of Desirée and began to read it, his finger trailing down the lines as each word traveled into his mind. "This mission looks incredibly easy, especially for you. Perhaps you should bring someone? You know, a new recruit," he said with a smile, placing down the paper where it sat before he had picked it up, "Like a mentee~". The Guild Master thought this could possibly be a good idea; bringing a younger or less experienced mage on a job like this would be very good for training. It was just like how her mentor assisted her such a while ago; she picked a mage that she saw potential in, and that just so happened to be Desirée. Now the idol was just about as strong as how Jiyu was at that time, so it would definitely make sense for her to do so. Sipping her mojito with a red straw, the Guild Master stood from her chair and slung her bag across her body like a sash and began to scan the hall for members that stood out to her; in which one definitely did. Picking up the job notice and folding it into a small pamphlet-like style, she slipped it into the interior pocket of her coat and began to walk toward the individual that she saw potential in.

As she approached the girl that was in-front of her, she smiled and ran a singular hand through one of the two longer strands of hair in-front of her shoulders, the flower that sat in her hair producing a scent of vibrant fruit and pink color. Pitaya along with Kiwi and Strawberry stood on the ground behind her, the two orbs of pink and green sitting upon her white and red back of fluff as she stood, preparing to switch her form into that of her larger for riding purposes. "Hi Rin, adjusting to the guild well?" she asked one of the newest members with a smile, a sixteen year old girl that seemed to always have a white animal with her at most times. She was very kind, and the way they met was definitely not ideal but definitely worth the impact. "I see potential in you. I would like to take you under my wing as a mentee." the idol told the girl as her eyes swirled around in colors, following with projecting a blue color; almost as blue as the waves in the ocean. The rain outside could be heard slightly, but it sounded just as peaceful as the small waterfalls that fell from the walls into the ponds of lilies. "If you accept, I would like for you to come with me to the Ancient Ruins on a job today!" she told the girl as her large hat was tipped slightly to the sideways, the yellow ribbon bouncing slightly as it adjusted. She hoped the girl was to accept, as it would be beneficial for them both; an increase in power for Rin, and someone to accompany her on jobs for quite some time. Sipping her drink as her eyes twinkled many different colors of blue, Desirée waited for the response.

As her eyes twinkled in the shade of blue like her hair, she listened to Rin remark about how well she had adjusted to the guild after the short time in which she had been there. Desirée was truly happy that the girl was able to adjust so quickly, as being in a guild for the first time was definitely something that some people had struggled getting used to. Even in her first guild, the idol struggled getting used to not being alone and having a roof to stay under with kind people. Crystal Swan was her third guild she had ever been in while she was alive, and she assumed that it would be her last. Smiling as she took small sips from her drink, the girl had accepted her request to be her mentee; it was such a warm moment between the two, in which Desirée could not help but hug her tightly in response. After all, her mentor helped her grow immensely in power, blasting her all the way from D rank to her current rank, being that of S; she wished that she could help Rin do the same. Slipping her hand into the pocket of her coat and unfolding it gracefully, the Guild Master would nod before attempting to give her mentee the sheet of paper in which held the job description on it, adjusting her hat once more as it moved slightly due to not being secured. "Here is the information of the job, if you would like to read about it~," she Desirée with a smile across her face, "you won't be holding me back in any way. After all, working with a team is much more fun than working alone!" Turning around from where she had stood, she leaned downwards and picked up the tiny wolf that stood behind her with Kiwi and Strawberry, holding her within her arms as she sat her cup down in place. The wolf blinked as it looked at the girl, her tongue sticking slightly out of her mouth as she peered toward her in fascination.

"This is Pitaya, the most adorable mire wolf you will ever meet! She will be the one helping us get to the Ancient Ruins quickly, as Crystalli is currently flying over the west side of Fiore. The Ancient Ruins are in the Southeast, therefore the only way we would be able to get there fast would be by teleportation. Luckily, she can do that with great success!" the idol stated as the wolf began to smile with her eyes, her tail wagging back and forth. "It is nice to meet you, I am Pitaya... a descendant of Fenrir, that of which is of one of the newest generations." Rin would hear in her mind a very high-pitched and squeaky voice, which seemed to be conveying a very serious tone. It was one of Pitaya's powers; she was capable of being able to communicate telepathically, as she was not capable of speaking in a verbal manner. Petting her forehead, the Guild Master would place the wolf back down onto the ground and watch her as she would run around the feet of the mentor and mentee, Kiwi and Strawberry chasing her tail in the process in a speedy manner. Scratching her head, Desirée would yank Kiwi and Strawberry upward as they ran around in unison and place them on each of her shoulders, patting each as the white ball of fluff stopped running and stood in a clearing of the room where people were not located. "Well, are you ready to get going? The ride there will be very quick and soft." the Guild Master told Rin before walking a few toward the tiny wolf, her immensely long blue hair waving back and forth as her red shoes hit the floor. Going into a position in which she was closer to the ground, she would look toward the eyes of the wolf and nod, symbolizing that she was ready for her to switch.

Followed by a bark in reciprocation, Pitaya's body would develop into an array of light, that of which coated her smaller form and began to expand outward into that of much larger, nearly as big as a lion. Through the room for a few seconds would gust a gentle breeze of cold wind, followed by the light pulsing downward into the wolf's skin, revealing her new appearance. She did not appear to look much different in the form of looks, besides the fact that the now tiny wolf was now an immensely larger wolf; that of which looked to be able to fit a group of people on its back. Running toward the wolf at full speed, she would hop onto the back of the wolf and mount it as if she was mounting a horse, sitting toward the front and leaving a generous amount of room toward the back for her mentee to be able to sit on. "Shall we?" Desirée asked Rin as she looked toward her, Kiwi and Strawberry soon hopping into the idol's soul in order to not be disoriented during the teleportation. The wolf, appearing to look as if she was a giant stuffed animal of fluff, would shoot a beam of light out of both eyes toward one of the walls that surrounded the guild hall, causing a large portal of light to open outwards and radiate a beautiful array of luminescence from the inside. It was what they would use to teleport directly to the Ancient Ruins; it was one of Pitaya's most useful abilities, that of which was suitable for nearly any type of ally to warp to a job quickly. Placing her drink in her bag and securing it between the rest of her items to where it would not slip outward, she would be willing to help Rin get onto the wolf if she had struggled.

The sparkling eyes upon Desirée's face shone a bright blue-green color as she helped her mentee get up onto the fluffy back of white fur; they appeared to look similar to the northern lights, which was her ultimate form of magic in this day and age. Rin appeared to be nervous of how they would teleport to the Ancient Ruins; it was something the idol was like when she first did it as well upon Pitaya's back, but she was definitely used to it by now. When she was not flying to places with her magic, Crystalli, or The Bird of Paradise, she could frequently be seen riding upon a giant form of Pitaya on the surface of Earthland rather than in the skies. Nodding toward the girl upon the back of Pitaya, Desirée confirmed with body language that the ride would indeed be safe as well as quick, soon following in her strengthening her grip on the sides of the pup; the ball of white began to run quickly toward the wall where the portal was located. As the puppy ran her feet began to pulse with golden light, symbolizing her speed that she was producing rather rapidly. With a smile across her face and lights coating the wall that they were quickly approaching, Pitaya soon jumped and passed through the wavering reflection of the golden light, traveling through a dimension of pure golden light for less than a second before appearing where the Ancient Ruins were located; in that split second, one would be able to smell an area that smelled like very vibrant lemons and other tropical elements. It was something that Desirée smelled every time she passed through, but she never questioned it.

"Well, we are here!" the Guild Master exclaimed as she hopped off the side of Pitaya, her feet landing gracefully on the stone ground with a shimmer of blue and green light. Reaching into her bag and removing the drink that she had ordered to go, she raised it to her mouth and proceeded to sip from it, following in her fastening her hat upon her head once again. Looking around, the Ancient Ruins looked exactly how they did in pictures and how the job information described them- ancient. They had not been cleaned for many years on end, therefore their exterior and interior were both covered in dust, plant life, rigid walls, and other things abandoned places would contain. Pulling her black socks upward as they had slightly faltered downward, her red shoes glistened slightly with the light peering through the cracks of the walls; it was a very large area, and this was just the highest part of the place. Her mentee suggesting that they should go a bit deeper, Desirée agreed and followed beside her toward an entrance to one of the lower levels, which appeared to lead down a stone staircase covered in rock and small weeds sprouting from the splits in the centers. Pitaya followed in the air above them in the form of levitation, his soft fur shifting around slightly as the soft breeze upon the lower areas began to pick up. It was not in any way too powerful; it was like feeling a breeze from a fan inside a bedroom. As they advanced down the stairs, the idol seemed to hear voices echoing very slightly in the room that the stairs lead to- she was unaware of Rin would be able to hear it due to her enhanced hearing, but they definitely appeared to be voices of men.

"Rin, I hear voices in the room we are walking toward. Stay behind me, I don't want you to get hurt." Desirée told the girl as she advanced forward, placing the Styrofoam cup into a slot in her bag before unsheathing the shimmering blade that sat in a sheath upon her back. Holding it in one hand and removing the job information in the other, she unfolded it and navigated down the page to the descriptions of the people that would be here as well; three rookie hunters, five professionals, and two much stronger men. Advancing down the stairwell and quietly looking into the room, it appeared to be littered with items of silver and leather; they were sprawled around rather messily, and upon the walls were shimmering productions of quartz and selenite crystals. The room looked to have various walls of fallen rock and piles of worthless items blocking an entire view of the complete area, but the voices that were being produced from this room got louder as they stood in the doorway of the entrance. Three male voices could be heard from the other side of a large formation of fallen rock, that of which blocked the vision of both parties from their own unless they looked through the cracks. They appeared to not be moving from the side they were on, most likely sitting down and counting the items that they had found in this room of wealth; their conversation could be made out quite well, however, as they spoke quite loud.

"Ya know, boss calls us rookies, and that pisses me off. One day we will be able to take over his business, ya hear!"

"Ye we can! He is going to be so proud of the things we found in this room, he will trust us in going deeper where he is! Then, we will be able to make the mega bucks."

"We won't be able to cash in those mega bucks if the rumors are true now, ya hear. I heard at home that the Magic Council has been lookin' for people to stop our hunt for the big stuff! I'unno if that's true, but nobody has came yet!"

"Harper's gonna be done soon, we ain't gotta worry. Those Magic Council Fig Sniffers don't know who they gon' be facin' off against! If anyone comes here, we gon' fight them and take er' jewel!"

These three voices sounded to be those of the rookie hunters, described to be the weakest of those here on this day. Facing toward Rin with a smile, Desirée advanced to the wall in a slow manner and looked through one of the cracks, her thoughts being confirmed; they were three men, sitting among a pile of precious gemstones and sorting them out by color and value. They looked to have weapons on their backs in sheaths, and appeared to be in their early 20s. Moving back toward Rin quietly and strengthening her grip on her sword, she lowered downward slightly to her ear and cupped her hands around it. "You go to the left, and I will go to the right. Perhaps this can function as a test of skill... You can try to take them out on your own, and if you need any assistance I will pop in immediately. Just say the word..." Desirée whispered to her quietly, her eyes switching into a slightly gold color with blue flakes inside, "bananas." Coming back up from whispering her plan to Rin, she walked toward the right and in a gloss of colors vanished into pure invisibility, Pitaya quietly flying in the air toward the top of the room and perching upon a flat platform of rock that was suspended. Watching her steps to make sure they would not make much noise, she held her sword in her hand tightly and proceeded to pass through the wall onto the side of the men, propping herself up against a column and watching their every move. She waited to see what Rin would do; if she would be in harm's way in the slightest, she would hop right into the fight.

Upon turning to walk toward the right path, the idol had vanished in a flash of blue, green, and golden colors, symbolizing the colors of the Northern Lights that fluttered over the night skies of the glaciers and slow flurries. However, in her invisible state with her pets following behind her she would fluctuate through the wall that was separating the party of girls and the party of boys, holding her thin yet extremely sharp sword of stardust and exquisite metal in hand as she propped herself up against the wall and listened to what they had to say. By now, Rin would most likely be planning something to do in order to take them out and free the path to allow them to advance lower into the ruins; it would be a three against one fight, in which Desirée did have hope that Rin would be able to handle, though she would hold her sword tightly in hand along with being absolutely ready to sprint forward and join the fight. The group of three appeared to be spouting meaningless banter to support their egos, which were definitely inflated, and enjoying a snack or two of some kind which the idol could not make out to see what it was. Some kind of meat or jerky of such? It didn't matter after all, as they were still a group of enemies; she would sit with her back propped up against the wall and standing right above some silver and bronze spillage of coins, sipping away at her large drink while making sure not to make a single sound from the styrofoam.

Turning her head to see what appeared to be a flash of light, alongside the men that were sitting among the rubble of silver and bronze, it had appeared as though it was the activation of a spell from her mentee. The men appeared to get up from their positions and inspect the flash, soon exposing Rin from behind a pile of rubble with what appeared to be a weapon of sorts, that of which looked to be pastel-colored and filled with multi-colored orbs of sorts. "Huh, I didn't know that she brought any weapons with her on this trip. Perhaps she holds another type of magic with her as well?" the Guild Master thought to herself in curiosity, enhancing the grip on her thin sword before slowly walking a bit closer to where the men had wandered off toward in case she would have to hop in; in which she would have to eventually, but not until a couple moments after Rin had the time to shine. They appeared to be laughing at her mentee, which made a wave of slight anger appear in the thoughts of the pastel haired girl; they were judging her based on her appearance and most likely on her age, as well as joking about her gun that she had clasped within her hands. However, the tables definitely turned as she appeared to trap the men with the gumballs inside of her gun and make them immobilized, stuck to the floor of the ruins and fastened there for a while; it was amusing to watch them struggle, as their remarks made them appear to look as stupid. That was, until they had grabbed onto the girl's long locks and refused to let go until they had taken her jewels.

Sitting her drink down on a portion of the rubble that had a flat top, the Guild Master would hear Rin shout bananas, which was her request to have her mentor hop into the fight. As she was a bit away from her in the room, despite being able to watch everything go down, she would quickly begin to sprint toward the group of four (the three rookies and the swan of pink hair) with her twinkling sword in hand, soon causing her guise of invisibility to shimmer away and reveal herself to the three that were facing her direction. As she was running fast toward one of the three which was a bit separated from the rest and stuck on the floor, he would let out a scream of fear (which sounded like a little baby!) and watch Desirée swing her sword a couple times across his body, causing glowing wounds appearing to be entirely of golden color to span across his chest from the stardust residue of the sword. Once he was taken care of from these strikes, she would jump into the air and push her feet off of his standing chest to kick him backwards and cause him to fall, soon resulting in her doing a large back-flip through the air with help of her magical abilities of flight to make her appear behind the other two which were watching in fear of the flurry of indigo and gold. As she had landed about ten feet away from the two, she sprinted forward and released a large strike of gold through the air, that of which would pass through their bodies and barely pass Rin's area in which she was standing in, rendering her safe and their enemies immediately passed out. Once the three were all taken care of by the sword, which was immediately after the strike through the air, they all fell onto the ground and went into a state of unconsciousness, their wounds appearing as a golden color that would easily wear off in a few hours.

Waving the excess stardust that had built up upon the blade of her saber, Desirée would hold it upward and place it back into the sheath that it had sat in upon her back, soon following in her companions floating downward from an elevated spot of the ruins and joining her side. "Do you need healing of sorts? I couldn't tell if those pesky men hurt you or not~!" the idol would say with concern, causing one of her free hands to look as if it were beginning to be coated with an array of blue and green colors; if she would insist on being healed, she would hold her hand over her forehead by about a foot or so and cause a few waves of lights to float outward onto her head, which would replenish her health pool by a large amount. If she were to decline, due to being able to heal herself, not being hurt, or any other reason, the idol would simply cause the aurora borealis along her hand to fade into the surrounding air. "So, ready to resume our adventure? I feel as though we will have a lot more rooms to explore, and I bet they won't be as populated as this one. The job sheet said that we have about seven more people we will have to take care of, and then we will be able to head back home with the treasure~!" the Crystal would say with a smile and luminous fashion, her fingers twirling through the frontal portions of her hair that were tied off as her mire wolf walked over to the rubble to pick up her drink that she had left there. Once walking back over and balancing it on her back, the idol smiled and picked it up, rubbing Pitaya's head as a sign of thanks.

Sipping her drink, the idol would slowly walk more deep into the room, where it appeared to stretch into a much larger corridor with a large staircase that caused the ruins to extend even farther underground. This was something that Desirée had assumed it would do; the treasure was detailed to be very far underground, which most likely meant that it was at the very bottom of the long corridors riddled in dirt, stones, and various types of treasures. Hopefully there would not be too many unexpected visitors in this vicinity; the girl of pastel hair hoped that it would simply be them to along with their companions fighting those that were detailed on the list of information that she had picked off of the job board back at the Guild Hall, no more or no less. Having her eyes display a golden color as she peered upon the many different glistening artifacts, some of which appeared to be slightly modern while others appeared to be ancient, she would continue down the hallway toward where the stairs began to go down deeper in order to continue and get closer to what they came here to accomplish.
