An Icy Start

"Impressive" Whisteria murmured from where she was standing, infront of the entrance to Blue Pegasus and her new start. She hasitated to move, thinking back if this really was what she wanted. A life in a guild surrounded by other people of hope and dreams to become the best, just like herself.
Is this really what I want? she had asked herself that all the way from Magnolia city until she arrived and was standing here. Ever since she was small, her big brother had told her that Blue Pegasus was the ideal guild for her. Where she would belong and get along, where she would get strong.
Thinking back to the time when her brother was around, it felt like a dagger was poking at her heart. Teasing. But still hurting, just by the though. He always talked about how great their mother was who had been in a guild and how strong she were. She didn't even known now if it was true or not, she never met her. Their father changed topic every time she was brough up and Whisteria's brother had only seen her as a saint and hero.
But seeing that glimt in her brothers eyes when he mentioned her, the smile on his face and the happy tone of his voice, she could never let him down.

It was set. She would fulfill her brothers wish and become a guild mage, become strong and hope to become like her mother in her brothers stories.
Walking inn on the guild floor, seeing the large hall and all the people, she was quite impressed but felt uncomfortable at once. Where should she go first? Who should she talk to? What should she do?
Standing there a bit awkwardly with her small, white bag over her left shoulder, she felt like the elephant in the room even though almost no one had noticed her coming inn.

Ania, a long white haired girl of fourteen nervously waited inside the guild doors of Blue Pegasus. Her task today, welcome newcomers to BP. This was her worst nightmare ever. She has never been good with new acquaintances and always feels like passing out when meeting them. Why was she assigned to this job? Well, let's just say she had messed up every job assigned to her and someone else is busy cleaning it up. Now the only place she can be right now, was at the door waiting for people to come in. The desire for that to not happen was completely etched in Ania's face, but of course new members could never be stopped from joining Blue Pegasus.

The door to the guild slowly opened, and a purple haired woman came in. In fear, Ania quickly and unconsciously hid her presence. She came over to the girl, but strangely, it seemed like she couldn't see her. Ania coughed, unfolding her magic and appeared beside the new comer. Her knees shook and her voice shivered but work had to be done. "H-h-hi I'm Ania. W-welcome to Blue Pegasus." She said, giving a deep japanese bow of welcome.

Whisteria jumped a little as the little girl appeared beside her by the door, she didn't see her face at first since she bowed. Looking up and down at the girl, she could sense a nervous feeling and she tryied not to seem nervous or awkward herself.
"Whisteria" was her answer to the girl before she looked over the hall to see if there where eny other people maybe at her own age. Sighing, she looked back at the girl.
And I was hoping for a more tough looking and big guy or badass girl but.. nobody is Perfect, she though as she stood there. The first impression was yet to be better or so, but maybe she had a bit too big expectations? She shoved away the though before looking back at Ania.
"Who do I need to talk to to become a member here?" she asked, her face expressionless.

"Who do I need to talk to to become a member here?" The woman asked and Ania’s face quickly brightened up. She held her head up to let the newcomer see her fully and with great dignity, said the lines she’s been practicing since she was appointed to her post.
”That would be ma’m” Ania laughed a little, though she quickly reverted her smile. “Sorry” she said, slumping her shoulders a little. “Let’s get you a guild insignia” Ania reckoned to a spot, where the stamp was located and quietly hoped she wasn’t forgetting anything. “Whisteria-san, please pick a color and a spot on your body”

Whisteria smiled a little before she was asked to find a place to put the Blue Pegasus insigma. She looked around at her body, mumbling something to herself. She wanted it to be blue as the color of her ice, and she didn't need to have it showing that much. Slightly dragging down the right side of her shorts, she looked at the girl. "I'd like it to be here, and in blue" she said with a little nod, knowing that after she was marked she was officially a member and could start the adventure of a guild mage.

(I am so terribly sorry for not answering! I have been awfully busy with exam and school preperations before summer vacation  :( )

Ania nodded and smiled dropping down a curtain to conceal them. She breathed deeply and with so much seriousness, stamped the insignia on the spot whisteria chose.
"Plop!" the stamp went, leaving a beautiful sky blue symbol of Blue Pegasus.
"Ahhh!" Ania remarked in glee. "I did it! Yes!!"
She hugged whisteria and whispered "Welcome to the family" with a tear on her eyes.
"Sorry" she apologized, wiping her tear and breaking out of the hug.
"I shouldn't-" she continued, pulling up the curtains revealing Blue Pegasus members who all chorused as the curtain went up. "Welcome to Blue Pegasus!"
They came to whisteria and did their greetings. Some too formal and some too casual but all of them were trying their best to be lovely people.
Ania couldn't help but chuckle at their attempts.
"Ania may I see her form?" A guildee inquired which then made the young mage sweat. That was what she forgot.
"I'll be back!" Ania called dashing out to where she left the papers and a bottle of ink.
She came in, dashing the same way and tripping another way.
Her guildmates watched for a few moments before laughing in a scholarly yet cheery way, commenting. "That's our Ania"
"Gladly there's still one left" They said, picking up one form that was not wet with black ink and handed it to whisteria.
Ania stood up, her apron also black. She gave whisteria a pen and an embarrassed expression.
