A New Darkness

Iku was ready to accept her destiny in Savage Skull, her new guild. She walked towards the giant guild. In the middle of the darkness, she walked silently without even throwing a look towards anywhere but the door in front of her. It had been a long way there and her plan wasn't to return. She opened with her left hand the door, then she checked her hand to see if her glove had broken, but as always, the glove was very well made, so she pulled it a bit and continued walking.
She gave only one step, and she could already feel darkness nature in the air, even do, she kept slowly walking without a sign of thoughts. She letted a breath out as she looked to the place. "Anyone her?" She yelled hopping someone to answer. "I think not." She said to herself. She was very hungry, so she kept walking looking for somewhere to eat, she really wanted something tasty, she had eaten... not very nice food last days. She decided to try again. "Is someone her? Im kinda hungry."

Kaseki had been wandering around the guild, scouting the environment, learning. The Guild, after all, was within the secrets of a marsh, and a marsh having that large amount of water, could turn Kaseki's spells a lot strong than even he could imagine. He had been collecting pinecones that reminded him of people. He held an aged crimson colored on in his right hand and a young unopened on in his left. He was retreating back inside of the guild to find another new face before him.

Kaseki put his souvenirs in the pockets of his cloak and approached the girl. He seemed to walk not through the shadows... but as the shadows. In the blink of an eye, the figure stood behind the girl. He heard the words, "Is someone here? I'm kinda hungry." Kaseki smiled. It was one of the few times it was perfect to be around. He tapped the girl on the shoulder, hoping not to startle her, "Hey there, I'm Kaseki." he smiled, "Now what is someone like you doing in a place like this, are you lost. Oh! I also have a cookie, do you want it? Ooh, are you a mage too? Can you spin flames? What do you do?" Kaseki seemed to always have so many questions... and always in a haste to answer them. "I still have a chocolate chip cookie... but it might be a day old or two, but that's when it's the best!"

The strange hooded man offered his gift to the mysterious girl, hoping she would take it. "Well, maybe a few days old..." he thought.

Iku felt something in her back and turned around, she saw a man completely covered, she only new he was a man because of his voice, it didn't really sound like a she. "Mmm... Ok, let me answer in order all your questions." She said after Kaseki stopped talking. "Lets see... No, i'm not lost. Yes i wan't the cookie. Yes, i'm a mage. No, I dont spin fl... Wait, if i think about it, i maybe can. My magic is a it complicated, i eat. And finally, sure, I don't matter if its a bit old." She left no sign of feelings, she was very direct and didn't think about nothing. "What am i doing?" She suddenly changed her attitude. Even her voice changed a bit. "Hi, Im Iku, you can call me as you wish. Whats our name?" Then she extended her hand.

"Iku is a pretty name! Oh, names... right. Well, as I said, I am Kaseki, my other side is named Kodai, he's the evil one. And this guild is Savage Skull. Most of... us aren't very friendly, but im  you and I will get along. You remind me of this girl from my former guild. I was once Lamia."  Kaseki's words seemed to flow like a river, calmly and never stopping. He was an odd sort. Someone like him would be killed when they neared Savage Skull. So why was Kaseki here?

Evil side? Iku didn't know what he meant, but after thinking about it a while, she thought his new "friend" was maybe bipolar or something like that, even do, she was sure she didn't really had to worry about that. "So... Whats the name of that other girl you mentioned?" She felt she sounded a bit suspicious. "Just curious" She said after some seconds hopping he could make himself fee maybe more comfortable.

Kaseki smiled. No one in Savage Skull really cared about his existence. "She was a fun loving girl. I never got to see her magic. She introduced herself to me as Lily, or something. I'm not very good with names." He seemed to drift off into his mind. "Although see seemed to be disgusted with me when I told her about the fate of one of my pets... I ate him. Delicious thing it was."

Kaseki looked around the hall and found an interesting table with accompanied by a few chairs.

"Well why don't you take a seat. Harrigan is a busy man. I'm sure he will talk to you soon." he said, "But if I may... what exactly is the reason that you are here?"

After what Kaseki said, she felt a bit disgusted, that guy had eaten his own pet, had it at least been tasty? Then Kaseki asked her to take a seat and followed his comment with a quick question. "Hmm... Lets see, I think the same as you, enter this guild. Why do I want to enter this guild? Personal reasons." She smiled at him, maybe a bit coldly, but nicely.
She saw a good looking girl walking towards theme. She said some words to Kaseki and then turned to Iku with a question she had already answered. She first took her time to examine the girl in front of her, she knew what a pillar was there, but she didn't trust this girl. "Im her to make part of this guild. If yo want to know why, I wont tell you, personal reasons." She didn't want to say anything personal about her yet, and having Janneline close had her thinking more about telling.

Kaseki bowed his head slightly. "My apologies, Lady Janna. It's my fault, I have not... adjusted yet. I shall retreat to the shadows, milady. If you need me, I shall remain nearby."  Kaseki took a stepback. Leaving Janna with Iku. The shadows shallowed him, and he disapeared.

She saw how Kazeki didn't stand a word against what seemed to be his master. Pillars where maybe even more powerful than what Iku had heard before, she had to be careful. She turned her sight towards Janna again, she saw her very green eyes and started talking.
Iku didn't stop looking Janna to the eyes at all time, she wasn't actually `afraid´. When Janna stopped explaining, Iku started explaining the confusion. "No, I don't want enemies rite now, ill be more careful making enemies, I really don't want theme know. And don't worry, I wont leave Savage Skull that easily, I need to do something first." She smiled a her and took a look to the guild. She really didn't want to have enemies, at least not for now, not yet.
"Soo, how does this work? do i have to do something or what?" She was curious and didn't know if Savage Skull was going to ask her to do something before, but she wasn't afraid about that, she would do anything, even do, she was hopping not to, she didn't want to get her hands dirty.
