2 Years Ago

"Today" she uttered into the rather unclean mirror,the finger prints of many a man, woman and child gone uncleaned for god knows how long. Yet the woman seemed unfitting within the dirty bathroom. Her clothes seemed clean, she smelt washed. The bath within the room reflected this. Obviously the young female had taken time to clean the dirt and grime from the tub before doing the same to herself. She had been on the road for so long, working, playing music in whatever venue would have her. She busked to earn enough jewels for this hotel so that she could bathe, so that she could sleep comfortably. All to prepare herself for this very day. What was special about today you may ask?

"Here I come Blue Pegasus" the 5"8 girl said to herself, giving her own reflection a defiant look, her sapphire eyes glaring back at her. She slid a brush through her long blond hair, and in one effortless movement, tamed it in to a ponytail, her untamed fringe while the longer pieces on either side framee her face. Underwear on, check. Her dual material, two toned dress would be next. The white shirt like attire covered her like a nicely fitted shirt yet flowed from her midrift in to a dress like appearance, a few inches above this was a pink dress that came upwards and was held over her shoulders with two noodle straps. Simple flats for comfort yellow in colour and she was almost ready. Other than a small bag which contained another pair of shoes, and a single change of clothes the only other item of her own was the large pink case which held her most prized posession. Her violin.

It was the only thing from her family that she had left. The only tie to them and when she played it, it felt as though it drew her closer to them. As if for the length of the song her mother and father where playing beside her. Bag upon her shoulder, Violin case in hand. She looked to the grimy hotel room. "Why do i get the feeling that I'm going to be staying in places like this a lot" she said with a smile as she walked out of the room, the door closing behind her.

The wind's breeze would lift through her, a cold chill from the autumn weather. The rain had halted darkening the ground yet making it somewhat prettier in the process. It did not take long to get to the guild hall from her current location, a brisk twenty minute walk. With the last of her jeweles she had stopped only to purchase a medium hot chocolate which after a few sips managed to fend the chill from freezing her body. The warmth of the cup kept her hands from the autumn airs nip. All in all one could possibly argue a perfect day for following ones dream.

Outside the Guild, the musician would stare, she had two dreams in her life, both she intended to see through. The first was to become a powerful mage, that was something she felt a guild would help her in. Why Blue Pegasus? if honesty was needed, because it was the closest one to her location. Yet it also seemed creative fom the stories she had heard, a good place for a musician and mage to begin their life. That was the second dream, to becoe a world famous musician, with the violin or her voice or even both. It did not matter. These ambitions, these dreams. That is what brough her here today, what helped her stay strong even when she wanted to crumble.

It is the reason her hand came upwards to the handle of the guld. The driving force that had her push open the door and take her first step in. All these firsts, all these powerful feelings fueling her. Yet her soft, voice only managed a weak squeak as she walked into the guild. "He...Hello". It was a pitiful sound, full of nerves and anticipation. What would the blond musician find, would she be welcomed or would she have to move on and find a different place to call home.

It would seem as though her almost silent words were as invisible as she was. Another seemed to have entered and body after body flew past the stranger, a group formed as the blue eye'd blond watched. She watched with envy, watched with sadness as the group began to talk. Obviously a returning member of the guild. She had no one, no one in her life whom would miss her if she had been gone. "No, today is not a day to be sad" she thought to herself. Shaking her own thoughts away from her mind she would be brought out of her funk as a hand touched her shoulder. She jumped from the action but the voice that came soon halted any further action. The male whom had been surrounded had broken free from the group and instead had chosen to engage her in conversation. Of course compared to many she obviously looked like a lost puppy dog.

"Oh, Oh uhm, I'm, I'm just wondering, if it would be ok...to join this guild" She uttered softly. Great what a fantastic first impression she thought, If only she could whap out her violin and get playing then people would see she's actually something different but no what came out was shy little girl who really had no place here. Her eyes looked to the male whom had spoke to her. "I'm Ariel Harronda, I uhm, I'm not very good at magic yet, but I ah, I'v been told that it's, its kind of unique" she said though upon her speaking her eyes flew to her shoes as she shuffled on the spot.

Her hand wrapped tentativly around her violin case, bringing it closer to her chest as if it were some kind of comfort blanket. She felt so freakish here, the thing is now that the boy had actually saw her, the others whom surrounded him now stared at her aswell. She glanced over at them shyly before takign a deep breath. "Maybe.....maybe this was a mistake" she said, being the center of attention without her music, it was something she wasn't used to, something she felt she wouldn't get used to. Its like those whom have a condition like tourrettes or something and for the moment in which they play their music, they are completely themselves, the disability, the condition it doesn't show, it does not hinder them. She wished she could play to comfort herself.

They did know she could hear them right? Comments about her appearance would float around, bitchy comments from the girls, objective comments from the male. Yet she knew full well the somewhat objective reputation of Blue Pegasus, yet she did not care about that. Sure the comments were a little annoying simply becauseshe was so vulnerable at this point. The comment about her hair caused one of her hands to unclench from her violin case and move her hair behind her ears. It would seem her omission of her less than stellar magical capabilities. This seemed to push herself back in to her self and cause her to close herself off once more. She looked around, her face blushing, flushed with everything that was going on. Yet she nodded. "Ye...yes" she uttered holding on to her violin as if her life depended on it.

Looking through the guild, she saw the happiness within the guild members who werent that impressed with her, or those whom had better things to do. They were joking around having a laugh, a nice giggle. It seemed like an environment that she could possibly be happy in. "It does seem nie here, Is that the master?" she would ask gently as they continued walking, she had very little knowledge of famous mages so knowing whom the guildmaster was simply by seeing them was probably something she would get wrong. She knew that appearance had very little to do with magical capabilities and judging solely by that would be somewhat idiotic. Yet she asked anway.

"I...hope he likes what I can do then" Ariel stuttered out at the comment of the master, she already felt like the black sheep of this guild. Everyone seemed so out going and openly spoken, while she was a timid little mouse. She couldn't help but stare at Cliff after being informed not to, still like a child when you say don't you can not help but do the opposite. Yet the man seemed to look away before she did a red scarlet colour flushed over his face. She smiled softly at this as they continued walking until they came upon a girl. Now Ariel was no lesbian but let me tell you this. If she was, she certainly would have flooded her basement. The magical power coming from the girl was also impressive but it was the beauty that took Ariels breath away.

Now the fact that the Guidmaster wasn't in and that this girl was in charge spoke volumes, yet it was the way Silas reacted to this that caused confusion for Ariel. His demeanour shifted, he slumped his head hung lower than it had been as he stated his leaving. Yet Ariel remained silent as she was then lead away by the gorgeous girl. She had to wipe her mouth with her sleeve just in case she had accidentally drooled upon seeing the female. Then bam, after her signature hit a few pieces of paper a shimmering oak brown guild stamp was then present upon the back of her left hand. A rush of emotion began to fill her and she could not halt herself from throwing her arms around the beautiful woman in a fit of happiness. A second to long she clung to her bossom. "S...sorry" she said her face redder than a tomato.

Upon being dismissed because the female had something else to do, the young girl would aim to hunt down the boy whom had been so helpful. Locating him she would smile. "It's Silas right?, Uhm, i just wanted to say, thank you for taking the time to help me. I hope that one day, I can repay your kindness" she said with a smile, her violin case pressed close to her chest.  Before walking away.
