A second chance ( intro)

Apollo gave a bit of an annoyed sigh as he stood there in the street of magnolia. He had found himself back where we thought you would never have to go again. Being looked up at the current Fairy Tail Guild Hall that was as far as he knew new. To a degree it was a good thing that we have seen the previous Guild Hall just turned and walked away, disregarding his attempt at this whole thing. But this wasn't the case. Perhaps a new guild hall meant a new guild, one that wasn't so bad. He took a deep breath before exhaling, adjusting his red tie as he did when he was nervous. He wasn't on good terms as far as he knew and hoped that they wouldn't hold it against him or worse, turn him in or cast him out. He shook his head though soon forgetting these trivial thoughts and what if senerios and focus now on just getting in. " What a pain..." He would sigh tiredly under his breath as he would soon open the doors to the Guildhall looking around slightly. The guild hall was nothing like he remembered for the most part, not that it should be what with it being a new building but it still had a familiar air about it, one that follows the guild and it's vaules rather then and place. He shook his head and feeling slightly uncomfortable with it as he wasn't use to the feeling and walked further in looking for anyone that may help him further. His foot steps had a presence to them, not loud enough to be annoying or truly bother anyone, but loud enough to be heard. He had a look of slight annoyance on his face as if someone had forced hi. To come here but also a bit of a smile that was genuinely satisfied as he looks around for anyone starting to drift towards to bar figuring that was always a place to get information.

( I am in the guild my color isn't changed yet ^^)

Arcadia as Ice Dragon Wyrmling:

Playing hide and seek with her friends of the Magnolia Seis, Arcadia had been clinging to the ceiling invisibly for awhile now.  She had been dared to play in her dragon form, perhaps with the idea that she couldn't possibly hide as well when she was the size of a draft horse. They didn't say she couldn't use her magic to aid her hiding, but that might be why she had seen or smelled any of her friends in almost an hour. She was beginning to  think they'd just gotten bored and went on to the park.


Not that she blamed them, but they could have called out  that they gave up or that they were leaving. Arcadia would have to cook something up  later to repay her friends for this little joke. The wyrmling picked up a scent she did not recognize. She froze, still a little on edge about new scents...at least until she could get a better look at where they came from. Watching Apollo for a few moments as he approached the bar, she dropped her invisibility and dropped from the ceiling down to the floor.  Normally she'd drop her dragon form first, but she figured seeing her as a dragon would help  her be taken more seriously from the start.


So she didn't frighten or appear too aggressive, she immediately shifted back to her human form a little pale blonde girl, appearing no older than five or six. She held up her arm to display the sparkling sky blue guild mark trimmed with gold, "Hey there. I'm Arcadia. Can I help you?"

Little Arcadia:

Apollo watched as a dragon suddenly dropped down fromo out of seemingly nowhere. Any normal person might have been taken back but this wasn't his first time around this block.  He new what slayers where and while he held no personal distaste for any of them minus one I particular he would just stare at the dragon that had just appeared.  a dragon however would soon after shift into a what looks to be child in front of him.  He gave a small tired sigh rubbing his neck. He had about twenty different things he wanted to say but only five we're probably best for the situation, as he was trying to get a fresh start. He would then look down at the girl who had just introduced herself as Arcadia to him and give a slight smile, a slightly evil tone to it though it was a genuine attempt for him "Well Arcadia, I'm Apollo I'm looking to..
" He paused taking a deep breath as if he had trouble saying next part but he quickly recomposed himself. "I am looking to rejoin the guild." He said looking at her his voice genuine thing to be kinder them usual but still had a sense of annoyance in it due to how much he has gone through." I don't sappose you could help me out with this". He would soon pause waiting for her response. He would do his best to not upset hey while he waited.

The littlest slayer's smile faded with the term rejoin being mentioned. She had met a couple people returning from before her time recently. There had not been any red flags about most of them, but one of them did try to kill her. That one had left her a little more cautious than she had been.

Just the same, until he proved himself a danger, he deserved the same warm welcome she'd give anyone else. The young slayer scented the air in Apollo's direction, and best she could tell, he didn't smell like a funeral. Point in his favor. She regained a genuinely warm smile, bowing, "You're in luck. I happen to be an ace, so we can do an interview right now if you want. Though since your joining I should have the fairies at the reception relay a message to Master Sorano, in case she has any extra questions or just decides to welcome you straight back Otherwise, we'll just go through the usual simple steps. Please, have a seat."

She started toward the reception desk, but glanced back over her shoulder, "Can I get you anything to drink?" She continued on tot the desk, briefly asking the fairies in their language to relay a message to Master Sorano and theother aces that a man named Apollo had arrived to rejoin the guild. If they had any special questions for a returning member, they could come on down, otherwise she'd just proceed with an interview like any new recruit. She took some paper and pen from the desk.

She strode back across the way toward the bar, ordering herself a box of apple juice. "I don't know if Fairy Tail had the bossest juice in Fiore when you here before, but we do now. You should try it! Unless you want something harder. We got that too."

Apollo would just stare at her as she stared back for a minute.  Watching her smile disappear for a brief moment only make him more Curious as the smile returns as quick as it left. She proceeded to tell him how he was in luck that she was a guilty thing could start an interview process which made several things pop into his head all at once in a slight look of disapproval as she said that she was a guild Ace.  A position he had once held but now found to be his most hated thing.  he had no qualms against her having the position just against the position finding it to be a blatant waste of time and useless a a moung other things. However he will keep that to himself it was not the time you think about such an unnecessary things and how title was that's an important after all she may have thought it was quite an accomplishment like heated once a long time ago.  Bearing that in mind however he would soon smile again as he heard her say Sorano's name. He would then quietly take a seat at the bar as she walked off to a reception desk watching her looking back at him. " So Sorano's guild master huh..." He said almost in audibly as he thought about her first entering the guild.  He w was glad someone like her was invite again. A slight smirk on his face as he waited.   However he was soon pulled back to reality when she had teturned offering him a drink. " Sighing a bit he shook his head "no I'm fine...." He said his eyes looking away for a minute as her rubbed the back of his neck " so since when is there a interview process to join the guild... " He asked remembering how open it use to be...though then again if they had been more selective things wouldn't have been so bad. Either way a interview seemed like a hassle he had no want for but he would play along with her...for now at least.

It seemed the warm and friendly approach wasn't the way to handle this particular guy, so the littlest slayer's tone and demeanor both grew to a cooler and more professional. She still smiled, but it was less sparkly and more polite. Climbing up onto a stool at the bar, Arcadia smoothed out the paper in front of her. She sipped at her juice, I'm pretty sure we've had them ever since Master Sorano decided it was a good idea to get an idea of who might cause trouble for the guild. It's really just a formality and you're back in."

Arcadia wrote out a few starting notes, and taking a few more sips of juice from her box, "Since I don't personally know the history of everyone who has ever belonged to Fairy Tail, why don't start with, why did you leave in the first place? Then just a couple mother questions like, what brings you back our way? Would you ever harm a guildmate or guild property without permission?"

Apollo sighed deeply as she started to ask her questions.  really he didn't feel like answering a questionnaire when he came to the guild that day but as stated before, he would humor her.  That is until she asked her a question on why he left the guild, some dark thoughts since swallowing him for a moment. How did he say this properly...There is so many answers he could have given to this question however there's only one that came to his mind. sappose the truth was his best option right now. " Well truth be told I never wanted to leave the guild, after Reynolds disappeared and the guild was in disarray and a new Guild Master was being chosen, I was kidnapped and tortured for god-knows-how-long... And no one came..." his voice sounded hurt and slightly vexing but it was blatantly clear he's trying to keep a calmer composer as he recalled his not so fond memories of torture,  that's all he would say I'll answer though as he didn't want to go into the details with someone he barely knew.  "And as for what brings me back..." He thought for a moment before giving his answer.     "Because I'm tired and I want to.' he said I was dodging question wasn't lying but there was way more to attend he was willing to say to her.  " And that's what if I would hurt anyone or destroy the guild, not as of now no unless they give me reason to" he said a tad darkly but Ernst when he said he he wouldn't before almost at a snap he returns a genuine smile "any other questions I can answer for you Arcadia, I am sorry if my first impression isn't so great" he said a tad vexing but try to be nice about it worrimg a bit internally.  Didn't mean to sound so vexing or cold but she was having a hard time with anything else.  Still the feeling of regret for showing up there was slowly leaving so that was a plus.  He then waited for the next question or statement from Arcadia trying to give a friendly smile not sure how it's coming off though.

Little Arcadia listened carefully and took a few notes for each of his answers. From his tone and attitude toward her gave her the impression he didn't like her very much. Not the most endearing thing to an interviewer, but lucky for him the interview wasn't about people liking her, it was about making sure they didn't let in total psyhos who'd attract undue attention to guild the minite they set foot outside the guild hall.

She got the feeling he wasn't beimg entirely forthcoming with a couple of his anwers, but she found nothing really alarming about them. Arcadia hoped his heartbreaking story of why he left wasn't just some sob story to pull on the heartstrings of a sucker like her, because it worked if it was. The little pale blonde slayer offered a genuinely sympathetic smile, "I'm sorry you had to go through that, and more sorry we weren't able to get you out of there."

Adding a few final notes she siganled to the fairies at the reception desk. Her smiled warmed as she continued, "But we shouldn't let the past blind us to the present, because today's a good day. Welcome back! It's not the same guild you left, so of you meed any help settling back in, feel free to ask me or any ace or Master Sorano. A few pf the other members may happy to help too of you ask 'em."

The fairies carried the stamp on over and Arcadia traded them her pen and notes for it. Thanking them, she then ask Apollo where he wanted his mark this time. Placing the stamp there, she ran a finger over runes along the side. The runes activated a magic circle underneath the stamp, leaving behind the familiar mark of Fairy Tail in an outline of color. The mark of an intern. More forthcoming answers or Master Sorano's direct approval would be needed before a solid mark and the more complete trust that came with it could be given.
