    At long last, it was time.

    The past two weeks had been a long and arduous period for Eli Everlash, as he left his home to find his own meaning in life. He was tired; tired from the journey, tired a lack of sleep, and tired of the life that he had left behind. In so many ways, he was exhausted. But that exhaustion lent itself to a certain air of freedom as well; never before would his parents or servants back home have let him make such an expedition on his own. And certainly, they would never think to search for the runaway noble at the remote Amber Island; he had heard and read tales of the island's horrid past, but more importantly, of the lack of interest most nobles and royalty had in it.

    And it was home to a Guild.

    Perfect.

    This was the end. The end of being groomed to lead a house of stuck-up aristocrats and meaningless parties with the hopes of impressing other, equally snooty nobles. The end of being forced to accept assistance in every aspect of his life, from dressing and eating to studying and walking. Those first steps beyond the walls of his family's estate were the most frightening in his life, but also the most free. He had chosen this; he had made this decision. And he would make many more.

    This was just the beginning.

    It seemed that the weather was determined to test his resolve in this, as a storm had started shortly before he arrived at the island's port. He refused transport, however; all he had to his name at the moment were what clothes and supplies he could bring from home, and the money he calculated would be necessary for his journey. He would take no luxuries with this money; it was the last true remnant of his family in his possession, as far as Eli was concerned. And if he was going to carry around money from them, it was going to be put to good use and pave the way for the life they would never offer him.

    At last he reached the doors of the Throne Hall, so grand and extravagant. In many ways, it reminded him of the home he had escaped from. But this didn't feel like a prison, looking up at its walls. This was a bastion; a place he could be safe. Warm. Free.

    Eli steeled himself, and pushed open the doors as he entered the building. He regretted tracking rain into the opulent hall.

    He did not regret opening the door.

    "Hello!" He called out into the building that would hopefully soon become his home. "My name is Eli Everlash. I seek to join Dies Irae!"

    The Ambassador slowly blinked open his eyes to the distant sound of growling thunder, the ever-present rush of rain tapping gently against the windows of his bedroom. Was it morning already? Or was it actually morning? The sparse intervals of sleep the guild master of Dies Irae got always left the man in a state of some perplexity. It was highly possible that it was morning, or evening, though the light of a dull, stormy day would still illuminate the world outside. Johann slowly sat up, tired, glazed-over eyes scanning the room with considerable sleepiness. The man took a deep breath, exhaling sharply before tossing aside the sheets and, with slow steps, making his way over to the wardrobe at the other side of the room, picking up the coat of his Ambassador Uniform.

    "Good morning, sunshine! Did you sleep well?", the voice of Mars would ring out inside his head without much delay. As usual, the man ignored the ever-present babble of the Seal and continued on. He had truly gotten quite used to the constant background noise by now, and so the mocking voice of Mars affected him little. As per usual, the best way to respond to this was to not respond at all. Johann had learned his lessons.

    What he needed more than anything right now was something to wake him up, most likely a decent breakfast, or whatever else was available alternatively, and a hot coffee in any case. The man wasn't normally a fan of the dark, energizing liquid, but it would do for situations like these. The man swung the coat over his shoulders, still wearing the white shirt and the simple black pair of pants he had passed out in underneath. The matching hat would cover his messy silver hair, for now, his whole appearance looking more like improvised formality than anything else, but it would do ... for the time being. His mind was on other things, mainly something to fill his empty stomach.

    Ambassador von Weiss made his way through the foyer and entrance to his accommodations before finally stepping out into the hallway of the West Wing, where the members of the guild lived. His destination, for now, however, was the Mess Hall located in the East Wing. Slumped steps would eventually find their way down the staircase and, eventually, into the Throne Hall itself, the main structure in the center of the guild hall. Heading for the hallway that led to the East Wing, Johann already looked forward to the meal that awaited him soon when suddenly, a voice rang out, echoing through the expansive hall. The Ambassador turned his head instinctively, his eyes falling on ... well, someone. Someone he had not seen before specifically. The man wouldn't need to wonder what they were doing here, as the mysterious newcomer promptly proclaimed their intentions not long after announcing their entry.

    Which brought up another issue. As far as Johann could tell, and he double-checked by taking a quick peek around, he was the only guild member here at present ...

    ... meaning he would have the honor of greeting the new arrival.

    The Ambassador, despite this exact thing being his job, was not too thrilled. He was barely conscious and would rather do something else right now, this being one of the times where he wished Sivvy would actually take over, but at present the rose-haired girl was nowhere to be seen, and so there was only really one option. Begrudgingly, the man would walk over, greeting the newcomer from a distance with a quick, formal "Hello".

    He stepped closer, following up swiftly, "So you've come to join Dies Irae, have you? Well, it seems today is your lucky day ...", the man tried to suppress a yawn, but only managed to do so with little success, "... I am Ambassador Johann von Weiss, the guild master of Dies Irae. Welcome to Amber Island, I hope you had a pleasant journey". He quickly worked through an official introduction in the hopes it would bring him closer to the desired coffee. Actually, that brought up a valid point. "Are you thirsty? Hungry? Come, meal's on me, and you can tell me what brings you to Amber Island and Dies Irae". With these words the Ambassador turned, throwing an expecting look over his shoulder.

    When Eli pushed open those doors, water dripping from his clothes as though it were raining inside as well, he wasn't exactly sure about what to expect. Perhaps one of the Guild's lower ranked members or some sort of official greeter, or maybe just some expressed annoyance at the puddle rapidly accumulating on the floor around him. At the very least, he expected to see a sizable number of people, given Dies Irae's reputation and the sheer size of the building they called home.

    Much to the contrary, he was indeed greeted by a single person; to be more specific, none other than the guild master himself, Johann von Weiss, a name and face he recognized immediately upon spotting the man. His clothing looked appropriately impressive, though perhaps a bit... disheveled, as the Ambassador approached him with a polite greeting. Eli looked up at the man once he was close, Johann noting his lucky timing (which he would certainly have to agree with!). The bit regarding his journey was met with an awkward smile; while he certainly was enjoying his time away from home, it was no walk through his family's garden. "There were ups and downs to be had, like with most things." He responded instead, not wanting to trouble the guild master with the issues of his journey. If there were any ups to his life in nobility, it was that it prepared him for speaking to those of higher station.

    Before he could respond to this, he was thrown a bit off balance by the suppressed yawn of the man; an action he was all too familiar with, knowing the telltale signs. It was then that Johann surprised him again, this time with the offer of food and drinks while they talked things over. Normally, he might have refused and insisted that they get right down to business then and there. But a trio of very convincing factors (those being the Ambassador's apparent tiredness, his own, and a loud rumble that was audible from him at the mention of food) led to him accepting the offer. "Um... thank you, sir. I'll take you up on that offer." He said with a nod, smiling more genuinely at the thought of a hot meal.

    As he followed the guild master, his eyes briefly fell on a clock hung up nearby, and he blanched. "No wonder he seems so tired." He thought to himself, the storm having made it difficult for him to tell what time it was. Luckily, he was at least starting to dry a bit already, so he probably wouldn't be making a river in his wake. He let out a sigh and rubbed the side of his head. "Seems I was lucky anybody was up when I got here." Eli observed, eyes facing back to Johann. "Hope I didn't wake anybody up."

    It seemed that, luckily for the Ambassador, the young lad was keen on taking him up on his offer, a circumstance that Johann appreciated, even if it was simply for a hearty reakfast and talk over a cup of coffee, though the God of Ishgar still didn't know what time it actually was, his brows rising when the other addressed him once again. "Oh? Is that so? I had no idea ...". That would explain why there was no one to be seen in the Throne Hall, or even the normally so busy West Wing for that matter, apart from the occasional member quietly hurrying through the hallways. "I don't think so, Mister Everlash. Is that correct? Anyway, I just happened to be around. I suppose my sleep schedule is somewhat out of the norm for outsiders", the man answered after pondering over his words for a short second. It was true that the Ambassador slept when he felt like it, and his newfound constitution allowed for days, perhaps even weeks before a night of rest was needed. It appeared that the new arrival had, in a bit of fortune, simply caught him at one of those rare times.

    The idle chatter had been enough to kill the time it took to walk through the broad hallway before finally arriving at an open archway that led into yet another hall-like room, though this time, rows and rows of tables and chairs lined one side of it from end to end. The Mess Hall of Dies Irae, enough to comfortably accommodate all members of the guild at all times. Even now, at this time of day, the smell of freshly baked bread lingered in the air, the well-oiled apparatus that as the kitchen and its staff never closing or slowing down. To one side of the room, the extensive breakfast buffet had already been set up, despite the fact that the room was not full at the slightest. Not too surprising. In any case, the Ambassador lost no time, grabbing a plate from one of the stacks before making his way through the assortments of various breakfast foods and baked goods and grabbing whatever he felt like before finally pouring a cup of steaming hot, dark-ish liquid, setting his sights on one of the nearby tables. The newcomer, of course, was also free to do the same, the Ambassador hoping that the other would join him at the table once he was done.

    Of course, there was still some blanks about the newcomer that required filling-in, and should the other join him, the Ambassador wouldn't remain silent. The man took a sip from his coffee, the warmth of the drink immediately beginning to revitalize him. The Ambassador took a deep breath. "So, Mister Everlash, Eli, whichever you prefer ...", he would wait for the other to answer before giving a nod and continuing, "... what brings you to Amber Island and Dies Irae specifically? Our organization holds a ... distinct reputation amongst the guilds of Earthland, so I assume there must be a similarly distinct reason for taking the long, harsh journey to this very guild?". Perhaps Johann was a tad too curious, and the other could, naturally, refuse to answer, though still, the Ambassador hoped he could find out more about him.

    Eli kept pace beside the guild master of Dies Irae, taking in the sight of the early morning halls. With just the two of them present, it felt pretty empty; like they were exploring some abandoned palace or something. But the building was immaculately maintained, from what he could see; whoever it was that was doing the cleaning around here was definitely giving it their all, which he could respect. Not only purely for the sake of cleanliness, but also because it seemed like it would be a touching site to return to after a long, hard job; a pristine home to take your mind off of whatever might be troubling you.

    Or maybe he was just a touch delirious from how tired he was.

    Could be both.

    The Ambassador assured him that he hadn't likely disturbed anyone, and that his own sleep schedule was rather abnormal. "Um, just Eli is fine, sir." He noted when the man used his family name. "I tend to be an early riser as well. More time enjoy my own thoughts, back at home at least."

    Before too long, however, the conversation stalled as the pair entered the guild's Mess Hall, a plethora of sweet and enticing scents tempting him to partake as they wafted by, and he was all too eager to oblige after seeing Johann start to pick out some breakfast for himself. After a moment he also grabbed a tray, selecting a variety of heavy breakfast items and grabbing a mug of coffee much like the master himself. A sweet scent caught his attention and drew him towards a plate of glazed cinnamon rolls, and he eagerly took one before joining the Ambassador at his table, though he sat a slight distance away so they could both enjoy their food.

    After waking up a bit, Johann spoke again. "Um, just Eli is fine." He repeated his earlier insistence; he didn't mean to be pushy about how he was referred to, it was just that he was hoping to distance himself from his family as much as possible. The next question, however, was one he had expected and been waiting for; why he sought out the guild.

    "There are a few reasons I decided to join Dies Irae, one or two of which I would prefer to keep to myself for a while, if that's okay. Just... personal matters, is all." He began, not wanting to immediately start talking about his situation back home. "But beyond those, it's the purpose of the guild and its code that drew me to your doors, sir. I believe Dies Irae has a noble goal that I would be honored to become a part of. And to be able to carve a name for yourself by your own strength... let's just say that holds a certain appeal to me, as well."

    He paused, thinking of what to say next, and clasped his hands in front of him with his elbows on the table. "Making it to Amber Island alone was something of a self-imposed challenge, actually." He admitted, placing the small bag of remaining money that he had brought from home. "I told myself that if I couldn't even make this journey on my own, then I would have no place in any guild. And at least in my mind, the goal of protecting the innocent from those who would use their power is something anybody should be eager to be a part of."

    He locked eyes with the Guild Master, and his eyes briefly flashed red, as his emotions rose; a sign of his lineage.

    "I won't lie to you and say that you need someone like me in the guild. And I won't tell you that I won't make mistakes. What i've seen of the world could scarcely fill a restaurant menu, and I have a long way to go in my magic. But if you would have me, I would gladly dedicate myself to improving my abilities, and using those abilities to bring and maintain peace for those in need of it. I don't know if I deserve to be in a guild such as this... but believe me when I say that I will push myself until I do, and even beyond that."

    The man was glad the other had indeed decided to join him at the table, the conversation that ensued capturing his attention. It wasn't every day that a new recruit stumbled into the guildhall of Dies Irae, after all. With quiet sips of his coffee, the weariness from earlier would slowly but surely fade away, the Ambassador now fully awake and focussed on the newcomer called Eli. "Of course", the silver-haired Rune Mage replied quickly. Everyone had a past to deal with, Johann out of most people understood that well. Still, from what he was saying, the young man seemed to be quite determined, not just eager to advance the goals of this very guild, but also his own, getting stronger in the process. Johann couldn't help but smirk. It seemed he had understood well what DI was really about. It was a good start. He used the others pause to give him a nod. "I'm glad you seem to be have set yourself a goal, Eli. The pursuit of strength is a goal most virtuous, indeed".

    The next part would be proving his determination, which, as if the young man could read the Ambassador's mind, the other would promptly do, Johann's eyes following his hands before finally resting on the small pouch the other had produced for just a few moments. So he had made the journey all the way here on his own? Certainly, it would've been risky, if not outright dangerous to do so by oneself. And yet, the newcomer seemed like he had persevered, for the goal that he, that the guild had set themselves. It was admirable, the Ambassador had to admit. Johann nodded, his eyes still on the pouch before rising back up to those of Eli, noticing the sanguine flash of magic within his oculars as he did. Johann could clearly feel the stirr in the back of his head, Mars' attention caught by this unusual display of magical prowess. It starkly reminded the man of his own demonic oculars, a small smile curling a corner of his mouth upward. It was most intriguing, indeed. The Second Seal would be sure to make a mental note of that ...

    Though, Eli was still not done, delivering a speech that couldn't have been more perfect in its wording. Johann's smile broadened into a grin. The young mage reminded him of himself when he had been younger. Eager, determined, curious. Who was the Ambassador to take this away from him? "We are all human, Eli, and we all make mistakes", Johann touched on the other's points when he had finished speaking. "The key is to learn from them. And that is what you have come here for, I presume? To learn, to become strong. I think, Eli, that you are more than qualified to be a member of Dies Irae. Not just that, I would be proud to call you a member of my guild".

    The Ambassador took a deep breath before exhaling sharply, his demeanor and tone changing at once, his warm, soft gaze turning a little more neutral, though holding a slight glimmer of excitement. "I, Johann von Weiss, Ambassador of Dies Irae, accept you as a Soldier of this guild". He reached into the pockets of his long coat, pulling out a vial of crimson liquid and uncorking it with a practiced motion. "Please specify the location for your guild mark for me so I can grant you the cross of Dies Irae that identifies you as a member".
