A sea of clouds surrounded the beautiful island of Helicon, the sacred trial grounds of Blue Pegasus. Through the white sea, a ship errupted bearing the symbol of the guild upon its sails and the words "Queen Hera" painted upon its Hull. With the White Wizard at its helm, it made its heading for the majestic isle in the sky. On deck were Rin Moriyama and Adrien Fionn, two young and ambitious mages who hoped that today would be the day Blue Pegasus would recognized them as B-Rank mages. Shuhei took it upon himself to test the rookies, for reasons that were unclear to the rest of the guild... He seemed unusually eager to take the two to Helicon himself, but that's beside the point. Quickly they circled the island, to give the rookies a good first look at the isle, where the mystical fountain Hippocrene resided. As a result of the fountains power, many mythical species thrived as well as other magical anomalies. Neat the base of the mountain, Shuhei anchored the Queen Hera. He reached toward a lever next to the helm and upon pulling it a rope ladder dropped from the side of the ship so that the two rookie mages could get down. Shuhei however vanished in a flash of light, and reappeared on the island below the ship. "Hurry up!" He shouted as he strode eagerly in to the forest.
The forest consisted mostly of old oak and willow trees which made for dense overhead, shading the area quite nicely. He'd wait for the two mages to catch up, and continue to lead them deeper in to the woods, until they began to hear the sound of stampeding in the distance and the unnerving derranged sound of wild, ferocious horses mixed with the sound of angry savage men. Shuhei held up his hand, signaling the two mages behind him to stop. "We'll wait here a moment..." Shuhei whispered so that whatever it was ahead of them could not sense their presence. After a few moments the sound faded and soon disappeared entirely in to the forest. "Well I think this is far enough!" He said loudly, turning to the two mages. "So how are you two feeling today?"
