Kikuchiyo has been searching for a way to make herself stronger for a long time now. After hearing about Tartarus, she could feel something stir inside of her. A long tale about a new guild leader, extremely powerful, and passionate for power was told to her by an innkeeper in Rose Garden. Because of that story, she now walks the same path that many have walked to join this guild. Kiki's eyes are locked on her book, sweeping hastily from side to side, licking her thumb to turn the page; she glances up and catches two giant doors just over the pages of her book. Kiki closes the book, and sets it in her backpack. Like a toothpick in a volcano, a small man stands in-front of the door. 'Perfect!' Kiki thinks to herself 'Now I won't have to open that big door.'
"Door-man, could you please tell whoever sees to recruits that I must have words with them." The man spins around with a blank look on his face, assessing Kiki for a moment.
"You? Join Tartarus?"
"So this is Tartarus! I hadn't been told the insignia, so I wasn't quite sure yet. You've been surprising helpful for how stupid you look, now could you open the door already? I've been looking for this place for some time and I'm quite eager to meet the members of this guild."
"Little girls like you don't belong in dark guilds, why not scurry on home to your mommy and poppy like the child you are."
"Parents, dead, stupid monkey standing in-front of me, soon to be ashes. I will not stand for delays!"
"Ashes? I'll show you ashes, watch my Benevolent Blue Flames lay waste to the very ground you stand on!" The man's hands glow all different shades of blue, and fire erupts from them. Kiki quickly evades to the right, seemingly unfazed by the attack, with the same blank look on her face.
"Your mistakes: firstly you did not attack with the intent to kill, merely a posturing that may have worked on an imbecile, but I am the furthest from imbecile you will ever see in the few moments that remain in your life. Second, you learned fire magic. Efreet told me not to use this on fire mages, as a stipulation of our contract I will lose his soul if I lose to one of you, but my plan is set, and you are forsaken. EFREET!" Kiki's right arm ignites with ferocious tenacity, sending a wave of hot air out around her. The mage, suprised at first, composes himself and sends a wave of low sliding fire at Kiki's feet. Kiki jumps to avoid, but the mage has already fired off another shot at her in the air.
"There is no substitute for real experience little girl, BURN!" The mage shouts as Kiki blocks the flames with her right arm and slides back a few feet. "Still standing? I'm impressed, but it's time I got finished with you, I can't have some little girl holding me up if I'm going to climb the ranks of this guild."
"Done talking?" Kiki says with a smile on her face. The blue fire trickles slowly off of her arm as she looks up. Excitement resides within her eyes as she lunges towards the mage with her arms stretched out behind her. The man quickly jumps back and fires two bolts of fire towards her, but she slips right between them with a quick spin, and stretches out her right arm. Kiki grabs him by the shirt and flips up above him, sliding her hand along the top of his head before landing behind him. Fire lingers where she had touched him, and as he tries to put it out Kiki says, "It's useless" as the flames grow bright white and engulf the entirety of the mage.
