#1Khalfani † 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Sun Mar 20, 2022 12:21 pm

Khalfani †

The odds had always been stacked against them, yet he had always come out on top.

It was a humble place, Hephaestus' Workshop. The dome building wasn't dramatically large or intentionally attention drawing. It was simple. Simple enough, for a simple man. Though Khalfani had to admit, the structure was odd in comparison to most of Sieghart's architecture. That's what made this the perfect place to have Paradise's first official meeting. Khalfani had kept the location on the D-L if you didn't count the people he intentionally told. There were a few though, that the Panther didn't have enough time to approach in person, but he was absolutely certain that the message was received. "Leggro?" the small rabbit-like creature asked as she rode atop the glorious gryphon around the mountain behind her companion. Xena had a very unique way of communicating so Khalfani never knew what the hell she was actually saying, he just assumed based on the context of the situation they were in. "They'll be here." He said as-a-matter-of-factly, a slight curve of his lips appearing in a devilish way. "Leggro..." she said.

The weather in the North was colder than the rest of the country, yet truthfully out of every region it had to be the most vast. Vast and perhaps even the most dangerous. Monsters roamed aimlessly through the North, freely terrorizing villages and towns. It was one of the reasons why the Dragon Slayer chose the North to set up. It was the furthest away from the king, the most open region in the country, and the people here needed an entity that really stood with them. There was another guild in Orchidia called sleeping calamity. They were hardly going to be a threat. After all, Khnurn had beaten all of their members once upon a time. Khal couldn't imagine them playing with their lives like that again. Already, as the rogue prince stood on the edge of the mountain, equipped with all that he owned, ideas began to lay eggs inside his brain. Sparks of what could be flashed through his mind like fireworks.

The Gryphon walked up beside the spell sword, Xena the Leggro stretched out across his back as the one they had chosen to follow peered over the edge... waiting. Below him there were a thousands stairs for his comrades to climb. They'd likely hate him for it, but Khalfani had to see. He needed to know that they wanted to see Paradise come into fruition just as much as he did. All of the founders needed to be able to overcome obstacles, because one day soon, the obstacles would drop upon them like nuclear bombs, exploding into their lives and consuming all that they held dear if none of them had enough courage or grit to overcome. The blistering cold could be the most annoying part about climbing the stairs but if it wasn't a challenge at all, he'd hardly be surprised.

Above all else, he had hoped his lack of social skills and cold demeanor wasn't too off-putting. Perhaps he should loosen up, it was a good damn day.




#2Haru Akagi 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Sun Mar 20, 2022 9:14 pm

Haru Akagi
The feline had arrived in the mountains a couple of days prior, already beginning to forge connections within Rush Valley with a wealthy mine investor. Having completed a few small jobs for him, she now felt a little better about her financial situation as well as the possible opportunities the area may hold for her future. Of course, she had made nowhere near the kind of money that had been stacked in front of her a week ago during her drinking session at the Boar Hat Pub.

The person she sought today had shown off wealth she could only dream of. The kind of person she hoped to keep by her side for as long as possible. A very lucrative relationship indeed. They had promised her a place in their new guild. The feline was aware that it would probably take time to get off the ground properly, but if they played their cards right and put in the effort, it would be a flourishing place soon enough. By then her claws would be sunk deep into it, allowing her to take full advantage of all it would offer her.

The only thing that stood in her way now was a ridiculously large mountain and the thousands of stairs that wound their way up the mountainside. Haru could feel herself dying inside already at the sheer sight of them, with a long sigh she'd begin the journey upwards. She'd just have to take this one step at a time. As she continued to ascend up the trail, she'd feel her calves starting to burn. While she was physically quite fit, the constant upwards battle was far different from simply jogging town streets.

Eventually, she'd finally reach the peak, completely short of breath, partly due to the trek and partly due to the altitude. The feline could feel her legs just bout to give out under her as she spied the panther who had been peering down, watching her climb from below. With a long sigh, she'd furrow her brows, clearly irritated.

"Fabulous location choice." she hissed sarcastically as she tried to catch her breath. She fought the urge to pull out one of her fancy new toys that hung from her hip. The thought of firing it at them as penance was such a sweet one. She felt they most certainly deserved at last a shot or two, but now was not the time for hostility. The thought alone would have to suffice.

#3Azure Fenic 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Sun Mar 20, 2022 10:05 pm

Azure Fenic

After spending some time in the spiral library and finding some important material for a side project of his but today was going to be filled with all types of fun and games if everything went the way they had planned it to. Azure was dressed in the second-best work outfit that he currently owned, a blue-lined white suit with long black pants and black boots, with black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. It wasn't his best outfit but it was something that he could work in fairly easily compared to some of his other outfits.

"Just a bit more than you can rest." the mount nodded its head in agreement as he made his way up the mount to meet with Khalfani and see just what they were planning exactly. It was odd for him not to have any solid information on something that he would be getting involved in. He had been the third person to arrive the first one more than likely being Khalfani and then a Demi-human "Damn I was hoping to be the first."

Extortion lowered itself allowing Azure to hop off its back I knew he was up to something but this... the mature side of him wanted to see just how many people had been invited to this little meeting before taking any action. The child side of him was fixated on the Demi-human as they didn't really interact with them much at all.

#4Amir † 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Mon Mar 21, 2022 6:32 am

Amir †
Trying to get this lazy scholar out of bed on a cold day was a job alone. The scholar had stayed up all night shivering in excitement at meeting the new members of his family. Amir could still not adapt to the newness of it all. He had a new flame, a new home, a new family, a new path of magic. All of these new things were bombarding and hitting his life at once. It made it hard for him to adjust to it all. There were so many odds and ends jobs Amir had to adjust to. His last couple of days staying here alone were filled with helping the construction effort. It amused him to see how it all came together.

A smile graced his face thinking about the mad prodigy Khalfani. Thinking back there was a lot to be amazed about. His lover wanted to start a guild and they did. The ease in which it was done made him wonder if there was anything they could not do. It was simply crazy how it all worked. Amir could admit that they had more influence than he had previously believed. A rare chance to reevaluate the information he already knew.

Amir got himself up. He carefully showered, fixed his hair, freshened up, and ate breakfast. Taking care of himself was an important necessity. Amir would not miss out on his own self care. It would be impossible for him to look after other people if he went down. When he found himself presentable he crossed over the bridge, went through the tunnel and made his way to Hephaestus' Workshop. Amir was the fourth person to make it to the dome. Albeit he looked the freshest. He could not fathom when the Guild Master got up and started to wait. Another feline demi human looked a bit breathless and dirty. A familiar presence that Amir could not put his finger on as to why they were familiar was here as well.

“Hello~” Amir greeted everyone in a singsong voice. “I am glad most of us have made it here. It looks like the start of an already marvelous beginning. I am pleased to be able to meet you all.” The scholar was smiling and happy. He was genuinely happy to see everyone that showed up today. None of the people here would be able to put a damper on his mood. He was so happy that he would go in for hugs as soon as he read the general vibe.

#5Brone Heavyaxe 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Mon Mar 21, 2022 7:46 pm

Brone Heavyaxe
Brone Heavyaxe trekked through the mountainous area, following a sketch of a map he was provided. He figured he would wake early so he would put aside his impatience, however due to his lack of navigation and cartography skills, finding the destination was proving rather difficult. The dwarf would grunt throughout his journey until he finally came across the staircase he was informed of and as he looked up to try and see the peak, he whistled at how amazing the structure was, a sing staircase that ran up the side of the mountain all the way to the peak, though the dwarf did struggle to see the top.

"Well time to climb" is all he said before he started on the first step. Though walking up this long staircase seem to be tedious and extremely lengthy, the dwarf preferred it over walking around the area, trying to locate the damn thing in the first place. As Brone made it halfway, he took in a deep breath and admired the view of the scenery looking over the rocky terrain and spotting the forest in the distance. Though there was no snow, it reminded him from home where his kin would hike through the dangerous mountain trail.

Eventually he made it to the top, surprised that he needed to catch his breath, "That's good for the heart" he laughed as he took another look down at the amazing staircase. Then he turned around and spotted a handful of people, "Gooday to ye, all" he greeted. He recognized Amir and was about to greet him but the sight of the gryphon caught him first, "A magnificent beast!" he hesitated touching the beauty.

#6Aeris Umata 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:52 pm

Aeris Umata
It was time Aeris though to herself as she woke up that morning already close to her final destination. It happened a few weeks ago but she meant a strange man with a strange leadership like aura about him in Astera port, they talked, laughed even and by the end her vampirism was revealed yet he did not show disdain, giving her a invitation to go to Sieghart Moutain and climb an ancient stairwell. So here she was, trusting an almost complete stranger she happened by chance, could one call this the thrill of adventure? Perhaps, she didn't know what to expect quite honestly.

Camped near the stairwell in a spot between rocks Aeris was able to make her way back easily and looking up the stairs, "Holy shit this is a lot of work just to meet some stranger." Aeris immediately said looking up the steps. Yet, her curiosity was now peaked because who the hell had enough reason to go up all the way to the stairs, what was at the top? Ugh, curiosity was a fickle thing, not always to one benefit, anyway it was time to climb.

The steps up had started off hot but went cold, Aeris removing her jacket and tying it around her waist as she kept walking up, she had only meant Khalfani but she was going to kill him, she really wasn't but a good slap would do wonders for her anger~! It took awhile but at last Aeris climbed up the last step and melted, her legs giving out as her body was dripped with sweat, catching her breath she made the slowest rise possible as she peered up to see a dome shaped building, "Well that's a surprise." Aeris said upon seeing it

Going deeper in Aeris followed the path until she turned a final corner and then, boom! people! "Khalfani! You arse! You didn't mention the stairs in the letter!" Aeris said upon immeaditely seeing him, turning to the others Aeris smiled, "Hello all, nice to meet ya~ The names Aeris~" She said smiling and waving at everyone. Oh yeah, she was a bit mad in the head.

#7Yuurei 
Online

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:56 pm

Yuurei

Spoiler:

Yuurei had decided to venture away from the guild, which allowed him to learn about the outside world of the forest of Ariathal. The country of Fiore was vast, but now that he learned their culture and did his best to understand he wanted more. His heartbreak also had a large part in moving away from the guild, but his heart was mending and the grief of it all was coming to an end. The rumors of a guild being created in the North wasn’t just a rumor. It was actual facts, and the Nephilim wanted to see it for himself.

The temperature sucked in the North that was for sure. It was where he trained over the past two years to get used to the weather. Still, here he possibly making this his new home. He went through various networking to find this place. It was tough, but at the same time thanks to knowing Amir, the light mage found his way around things. The location was marvelous and honestly, even with the cold, he figured the stars would be beautiful at night. The only thing he would want is for them to plant a variety of cherry blossoms that could withstand the North’s weather.

It wouldn’t take long, but Yuurei would find a bunch of stairs. He checked them out and looked up to see that it reached all the way to the peak of the mountain he was in front of. Renji saw this as well and he would find himself shaking his head.

“You going to climb all of this?” He asked Yuurei wondering what he was going to do.

He was prepared to stay on Yuurei’s shoulder the entire time if he didn’t have any other ideas.

Yuurei would chuckle when he heard those words and he would crack his neck and started undressing the upper part of his body. His muscular figure made their appearance as he would look over to Renji.

“Open the bag for a bit.” He would put his coat, his turtleneck, and his scarf inside of Renji’s bag.

Once he had put everything away, he would find himself transforming as he would have four wings sprout from his back as it would spread out. His eyes turned into a bright golden color. Renji figured he would use this, and the light mage would start soaring up the stairs as he was ascending quickly and without a problem. Renji was on his back now as he was enjoying flying up the stairs with Yuurei. He was quick to get to the top, but before reaching it he would land on the stairs as he would sigh with relief and regain his half-elf form.

The Exceed was quick to open the bag as his clothing would magically appear on his body without him having to put anything on. Yuurei walked the rest of the stairs and when he reached the peak of it all, the berserker would see many familiar faces here. One of them was cute and caught his interest, one of them was a good old friend, two of them he knew one better than the other, and the last two he knew nothing about. The animals present were majestical, he saw two gryphons and what looked like a rabbit with a halo above its head. This was interesting, which made him feel like he should have stood in his Nephilim form.

“I see you made it before me Brone.” He said as he would turn to look at Haru.

“Beautiful as ever Haru.” He said with a smile on his face as he turned to look at Amir.

“I’m glad you could make it Amir.” He said as he looked at the two he didn’t know.

“My name is Yuurei Starlight, it’s a pleasure to meet you two.” He said as he bow slightly as he looked over to Khalfani who was sitting down at the peak of it all.

“It seems that faith brought us together after all Khalfani, sorry for the late arrival, I kind of had to search.” He said with a smile on his face as stood tall and waited for things to begin.

#8Khalfani † 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Tue Mar 22, 2022 12:19 am

Khalfani †

Khalfani could only chuckle. Haru, of course, was the first one to arrive. The panther watched the feline make her way up the steps. She was a determined little cat, but it was funny to see her stride nonetheless. When she finally reached the top she hissed with sarcasm. Immediately Khalfani's face reddened as much as humanely possible for a black man. Embarrassed his cold resting bitch face warmed up with a chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head. "I had to be sure you were determined as I thought you were. It's good to see you, Haru." He said as Xena the Leggro propped up. The two animals slowly made their way towards Haru, the gryphon sniffing her.

Next to arrive was Azure. The spell swords attention reverted away from the steps since Haru's arrival so seeing Azure caught him off guard a little. The informant was a very important part of this. He had skills that could help them in the days to come. People all over the country had already been sending in requests for them to destroy beasts so Azure would have a lot to research, study, experiment, whatever he needed to do. Khal already had the idea of what Azure would do in mind. He was perfect for the task. When he joined the two, Khal nodded towards him. "Good to see you nonetheless comrade. Glad to see you're still alive, it's been a while." He said before nodding towards to extortion. Then a voice traveled through the air, a melody of perfection that came from none other than Amir. Nothing else mattered. Nothing.

The Commander's eyes widened. He knew that Amir would come, but he was excited to see him still. Work had made it hard for the two to see each other but united at last, they would embrace each other. With a smile, Khal casually made his way to his lover, planting a kiss on his forehead as he pulled him in for a hug- after his introductions, of course. "It's good to see you, my love." The panther pulled away to say. "Gooday to ye, all!" a gruffy like voice shouted. It was none other than the Dwarf known as Brone. Khal had learned a lot about him from whispers of town folks, plus he was always with Yuurei. One of the most famous mages in Fiore. "Good-" The slayer began. Before he could even properly introduce himself, the lively little man acknowledged his Gryphon who had been sniffing around Extortion with Xena. The rogue prince chuckled. "Aren't they? Haha, it's good to finally meet you Brone."

"Khalfani! You arse! You didn't mention the stairs in the letter!"

Welp. Khalfani's eyes widened as he turned to see Aeris. Boy was she pissed. In fact, Khalfani braced himself just in case she beat his ass right here and now. "Aeris. Glad you made it." He gulped as a droplet of sweat fell down the side of his face. The vampire was tough, a little bit of stairs wouldn't hurt her. She was immortal after all. As Khalfani watched everyone greet each other he kept his eyes on her. In time she would be formidable. Her potential was vast. Vampirism was a curse to some but a blessing to many. In that moment he hoped that she had been managing it well. Either way, he had dedicated himself to helping her. Last but not least, the most famous of the people here, Yuurei entered the fray. He, however, didn't look like the thousands of stairs did anything to him. The Dragon Slayer turned to watch him as he greeted everyone, saving the commander himself for last.

"The gods work in mysterious ways." he said coldly. After a passing moment, slowly a wide smile stretched his lips. "It's good to see you, my friend. It's been a while." Yuurei would be a great addition to the team. If the rumors were true, he was the strongest mage here. His power remained a mystery for the most part which made this all the more exciting. Khalfani, for a moment stood where he was, then would make his way towards the door of the large dome. "Alright, all of you are here so let's begin..." he cleared his throat with a gaze and demeanor no longer warm. Harsh and cold like the winters of Iceberg, his eyes lowered and he turned to face his peers.

"Throughout my life I've learned many things, not only about myself, but about this country...about this world. I'm sure there isn't one person here who hasn't been subject to the violence of a monster, whether that monster was a vicious beast covered in fur, or a vicious beast in the form of a human. Khalfani looked around, his golden orbs finding themselves glued to each of theirs. "The people of Fiore are bleeding. For years they have been crying out for the nobles and those in power to end this living hell. All they have received is nothing. No aid, no help...nothing. And so...I have created a Paradise here in the mountains." Khalfani's voice was filled with passion, a hint of rage, but mostly determination.

"It's name is Paradise Dawn and it exists to slay monsters and give the people the help they really need. Allied not to the king, not the nobles, only to Paradise and the people of Fiore. But, to really get started, Paradise needs your help. Each of you has qualities that sets you apart from others. Qualities that make you fit to lead. I've learned about you all, even you, Brone. So, if you all want to contribute to this new world in the North and kick some ass for humanity, I invite you in." Khalfani turned to push open the door, then stepped aside before facing his comrades again. "If you don't have the grit, the stomach, the passion, or the vision...then I ask that you leave now." With no other words, he'd nod before turning to enter the building. A medium-sized table with seven chairs would be in the center. There was a kitchen and fridge to the left, and a blacksmith's workshop to the right.

Like I said...a humble place.




#9Haru Akagi 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Tue Mar 22, 2022 1:17 am

Haru Akagi
Her left eye twitched a little as she noted the gryphon approached her, irritated by the thought that she hadn't she thought of getting herself a mount prior to climbing up the mountain. Still, it was gorgeous and the little bunny-like creature was super adorable. Extending her hand out slowly she'd offer it towards the gryphon to get a better sniff.

"I'll forgive you this one time because you brought these cuties." she pouted briefly before smiling softly at the two critters. Her ears flicked a little as the sound of another approached. Another person that had been wise in riding a mount. She shifted her attention back to the gryphon. Arriving first had given the feline plenty of time to eye up the rest of the party as they trickled in one by one.

Silently she continued to make her own judgements of each of the people as they gathered. The first seemed rather quiet, although she could feel their eyes lingering on them a little. The second was, Khal's lover? The young man's genuinely happy tone and smile were somehow infectious, her sour mood over the long climb instantly dissolving as she found herself embraced in a gentle hug.

Upon being released the demi-human would return to fawning over the majestic beast before her and soon enough she'd find she was not alone in her appreciation for the creature as a rather stout fellow arrived on the scene. He seemed rather enthusiastic given the climb, she would have thought his short legs would have been more of a hindrance and therefore left him more irritated than she had been.

Eventually, they were joined by the only other woman in the small group. Finally, someone that seemed just as outraged as Haru had been over the climb up, causing the feline to smirk a little. As she glanced over the group she recognised none, other than Khalfani, by face. That was until the final member arrived. Her golden eyes widened a bit in surprise, she hadn't expected him of all people to be joining them today, especially in such an incredible manner. So he hadn't been lying about being practically reborn as an angel.

"As flirtatious as ever, Yuurei." She scoffed, rolling her eyes at his all too over-used greeting. As Khalfani finally started their little monologue, she'd pry herself away from the gryphon to listen carefully to their words. They spoke of grander things than she had first envisioned, but she'd already made up her mind on the matter.

"I, Haru, would be most honoured to stand, or sit in this instance, beside one as driven as yourself." The demi-human announced, shooting the fellow feline a toothy grin, her razor-sharp cuspids on full display. Without another second of hesitation, she'd strode towards the closest of the seven chairs, flicking her long silver hair to the side as she took her seat. Finally she could rest her legs properly.

#10Azure Fenic 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Tue Mar 22, 2022 1:55 am

Azure Fenic

Azure took note of everyone that arrived after him given that one of them was Yuurei a rather skilled mage that worked rather hard in Blue Pagause so it was odd seeing them at this meeting but everyone else had their unique notes in his mind. The only other person that stood out to the man was the IW mage who had the shortest encounter but was still shocked to see gathered here Looks like I have my work cut out for me he thought bending down next to his mount. "Find a place to rest up okay?" the Griffion sprung up to its feet as it was more than likely rather broad just sitting around with him. The griffin took off as it was told leaving its rider with the others though he hoped that Extortion wouldn't venture off too far from them.

Followed in after Haru while both sides of his mind tried to figure out if this was going to be the start of a new chapter or just a continuation. Taking the chair across from Haru he crossed his legs and waited for everyone else. Knowing how Khalfani works this must have been a rather tough thing to assemble given to who he's related to but it was something that his network couldn't pick up. Not wanting to waste any time Azure cleared looked at Khal "So Khalfani why this place and why us?" a simple question that he could either answer right away or wait to.

#11Amir † 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Wed Mar 23, 2022 11:22 am

Amir †
Amir was smiling broadly now. The last three people to show up were people he knew, at least to an extent. One was the girl he had battled with before he left the west. Amir believed her a good addition to the guild. The other was a familiar person. One of the most influential and well known rising stars in Fiore, Brone. It was nice to see him bringing his sidekick Yuurei along as well. It was a bit funny that two-thirds of the old Blue Pegasus members he had quested with showed up. The only person missing to make it a full house was Kailani.

The scholar refrained from talking when Khal was. He was here as support and to follow his leader. Truth be told Amir did not believe in all the tenets of the guild. He had no faith in the gods nor did he care about the people of Fiore. He cared about the people in the guild that became his family, he cared about some of the people in his old guild. The people themselves, not much. Instead of disagreeing with his lover he chose to remain silent. Amir would not undermine the authority of the one he cared about.

The speech was finished and Amir walked with the crowd to the seats of power. Looking them over Amir chose the one to the left of middle. He assumed Khal would pick the middle one to be closer to all the members. As the shield of the guild Amir believed this seat to be the most suitable for himself.

“Oh. I remember you now. You were there when I first laid eyes upon Khalfani.” Like a lightbulb in his head Amir could recall where he saw Azure before. It was a long time ago and the impression was faint, it was why Amir could not recall the familiar presence till now. “Are you not known as the informant?” Amir believed the question to be an answer. Unless the title was for show the man should have some ability to find stuff out.

#12Brone Heavyaxe 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Thu Mar 24, 2022 8:51 pm

Brone Heavyaxe
Brone watched as the group increased, more people were arriving and he was excited about it, though he knew little of what was going on and less of the people who were present, save for those he had already met previously. Next to arrive would be a young lady with red hair, as sweet as she seemed, she was loud to which the dwarf respected, he suspected she had a fire in her, which was probably why she was picked for whatever this meeting was for. Soon after her, Yuurei had arrived shirtless, "I suppose you were dying to get out of those tight Blue Pegasus cloths, and I'm surprised too that I made it here before you, first time for everything" Brone walked up to his half-elf friend and offered a fist-bump.

That man, who was named 'Khalfani' by the red haired young lady, began to speak. Brone at this point deduced that this man of darker complexion was the one who brought everyone together. He crossed his arms as he listened to the speaker; highly impressed by the tone and the wording, already this man shown traits of a leader and already he was winning points with the dwarf. When Khalfani mentioned Brone by name, he won another point in the dwarf's book. Brone's chest swelled with pride.

The speech radiated, Brone couldn't tear himself away. Realizing what this was truly about, he felt a sense of meaning, an aim, finally what he was looking for since he was a child; the stories his father would tell him of his own adventures fighting monsters and saving towns and cities. Now he had a chance to make his dream come true and make his clan proud.

When Khalfani opened his door to the potential members, Brone happily strode in, taking the seat furthest to the right while inspecting the humble home. It wasn't as fancy as Blue Pegasus, more rougher... it was perfect for Brone.

#13Aeris Umata 

To Forge a Paradise [Founding] Empty Fri Mar 25, 2022 8:05 am

Aeris Umata
"Hmph, you better be. Glad to see you are well though, the north is quite pleasant at least." She was angry, but not so angry to make a move, not with all these new people around her that she could only now assume got the same invitation, she had already suspected Khalfani was a rarity as he mentioned chaotic energies and such and his look on vampires made him a curiosity Aeris found herself unable to ignore, from the first meeting she could feel an aura of leadership, drawn to it to the point she came all this way just to further find more about him.

Introducing herself to the rest of the others Aeris noticed a gryphon in the distance, "It's beautiful." Aeris said enjoying the majestic creature from afar, she was trying to take too many sights in but she did turn back to the others as another person came in, Yuurei Starlight, a figure she realized by a few others reactions was more famous. A person in which also introduced himself to her, "Yuurei Starlight, a pleasure~ Aeris Umata." Aeris said waving before she noticed someone else, "Oh, You, I fought with you in that duo battle in Great Baska Rock. It seems fate would have us better acquainted."

The last of the people to be invited appearing, Aeris could now confirm Khalfani had invited various races, a gathering of the races meant Aeris would surely not have to feel ashamed of her new lack of humanity. A toothy small smile appearing on her face as the man of the hour himself began speaking. Aeris let out a exhausted gasp of air as he spoke of being attacked by humanity or monsters, for Aeris it was both, a selfish man playing with forces he didn't understand, human jealousy. The  monsters were the ones that ripped their flesh apart, the uncomfortable memory of blood and the way it smelled so delicious..

"You're crazy than I am Khalfani." Aeris immediately replied as her right hand tucked her hair behind her right ear as she walked in taking a seat opposite side of the table from the only other female intending, Aeris standing on the chair and then folding her legs into herself as she basically sat hugging her legs while her head was laid down to the side on her left leg. "Paradise Dawn, huh. I'm down for slaying monsters and helping humanity, but isn't a guild full of multiple races usually looked down on? Actually I retract that question for a more important one. How are we going to maintain this freedom you speak of, nobles and kings would object to such a place filled with multiple races working together." Aeris sighed, "I hate talking too much.."

Yuurei

Yuurei would smile at Khalfani as it seemed like he was happy that he was here and that everybody had gathered as well. He heard Haru’s words, and he would smile at her because he was genuinely glad that he got to see her again. Brone would speak to him, and he would chuckle as those were true words spoken to the man who disliked the outfits he had to wear at that guild. The light mage was able to get the name of the red-headed woman though. He was glad to see that she was friendly with the wave of her hand at least.

That was when Khalfani started to speak to all of them. Yuurei listened to his words because he needed to know what he was getting himself into. It was true what he said though, for Yuurei he had to deal with being an outcast in his own home. He was bullied and beaten up because he was different from everyone else. It was a headache, but his path didn’t lead him to darkness, and it was because of those around him. He continued to move forward, strongly and kind without allowing the true darkness within him to tempt him.

Yuurei was on board with helping the people. He had been doing that ever since he started learning about Fiore. It was also something he couldn’t stop himself from doing either. It wouldn’t take long for him to invite everybody into the establishment, and he would open it. Still, he had given everyone a fair warning before joining, which it seemed like everybody would ignore and enter. Yuurei would be the final person as Renji would look at him.

“I still get to see Nimbus right? We will go and see Revy right?” He asked Yuurei this.

Yuurei would pet the cat on his head with a smile on his face.

“Yes, we will still get to see all of them. So you don’t have to worry about that.” He said to Renji.

He would walk into the place to see that every chair was taken except for two spots. They were opposite of each other from the table. Yuurei would walk over to the one that was closest to the door, but he didn’t sit down.

Instead, Yuurei would find himself leaning on the chair as he would look at everyone with a smile on his face. He was looking at everyone and even those he knew as he loved that they were willing to question things and get answers from Khalfani. He figured he would join them as well.

“How do I gain more power from joining Paradise Dawn? The things I cannot destroy need to be destroyed, but I need more power to do that. Will you guys be the answer to the power that I’m seeking?” He asked this.

Yuurei sounded weak, but what he had fought in the past was something fiercer than he could ever imagine. He continued his training now that he was given a second chance at life, and he wanted to make sure that he didn’t die again. The only person that knew about that incident were Brone because he was there, and Haru because he told her about it, but briefly.

“Of course, I don’t ask of this without anything in return. I will always help those of you who are around me as well, but I’m trying to figure out if it will be worth it.” He said this to everyone as he wonder what would be said.

Khalfani †

Comrades poured into the dome building, filling the structure as they stepped in one by one. Khalfani was the last to enter, so he was able to see where everyone had decided to sit. Naturally most folks tended to sit where they thought they belonged based on either their own self importance, or how important they were to the facilitator. Here, that ideology was reflected- mostly in the fact that Amir had chosen a seat right beside the one at the head of the table, and Yuurei had chosen a seat directly on the opposite side of the chair at the head. The Dragon Slayer took his seat after a moment of silence. There was no time overlapping before Azure was the first to ask a question. In that little span of a moment Khalfani couldn't help but wonder...had Azure been listening? The speech that was given moments prior to this meeting explained exactly why the panther had chosen every person here. His peroration included the very reason why everyone was brought together.

Khal placed his elbows atop the table and interlocked his fingers, leaning on his hands. Amir gave a striking comment, one that may have been seen as impertinent, stony even, but it was a salient question at the moment. I Azure was indeed the informant, his job was to pick up on clues and search until he obtained a conclusion worthy of note. That required him to actively listen to detail. Ahead of anyone else's response, Aeris spoke up asking her own question. Now, that was a question Khalfani had yet to answer. The answer was something he had thought about long and hard after studying the people and the circumstances of not only Sieghart, but the entire North region. However, he waited before responding. Yuurei had his own question and unlike anybody else's, his question was about personal growth and power. It was a fair concern, granted it was more centered around himself.

"When I began piecing Paradise together I was required to think long and hard about what I wanted this new nation to represent. The conclusion was simple; Unity..." the spellsword began looking at Yuurei. "We slay monsters and creatures who would wreak havoc onto the north. That alone will strengthen you, the idea centers building strength, but more importantly...togetherness is key. There's power in numbers, so in order for you to become more powerful we all need to become more powerful, which I've no doubt everyone plans on doing, yeah?" Khalfani looked around into the eyes of everyone at the table with a nod asking for confirmation. "That's apart of the reason why you all were handpicked. All of you have the drive for success and the stomach for failure." A quick answer that would no doubt cover at least most of the concerns behind the questions.

With that, he addressed Aeris' question. Frankly, he was rather excited to answer this one. It addressed the politics of this land and forced the commander to be entirely transparent about his own endeavors for the direction of the guild. "Any remark is a valid remark in this space, Aeris. You've asked an important question." He began clearing his throat.

"The North is the biggest region in Fiore and it's the furthest from the capital being at the border of the country. It's important, but if you've seen how the people of Sieghart survive it becomes evident that they've been neglected and abused. In fact, in this very part of the region a dark guild once operated from the shadows and forced all of the citizens into slavery. The King has done nothin' about it before or after and he damn sure isn't doing anything 'bout it now. As such, the people have expressed their desire for liberation. They no longer want to be apart of Fiore's Kingdom, can you blame em?" He shrugged.

"In short, we defend the North and keep outsiders who seek to do harm out. We'll operate as our own nation, the entire North. With the peoples backin' there's no way we can't claim independence for the North. The King rules the nation, but the Lords have a say in what is allowed and not allowed in their respective territories. For now we don't allocate an enormous amount of bounty, remain peaceful, stay out of business that has nothing to do with the North and the nobles and royals will have no reason to bother us. Eventually the North will be its own nation- at the very least Paradise Dawn will be its representative." dourly said.

The Black Panther spoke up after a brief moment to allow his comments to settle in. "Thoughts?"




#16Haru Akagi

Haru Akagi
The ranger's silver furred ears twitched as they perked up, her golden eyes locking onto the fellow feline as she eagerly listened to Khalfani's words. As they mentioned the group's drive for success and stomach for failure on an individual basis her demeanour changed, although only briefly. Her ears flattened for a moment before perking up again as she shifted in her seat. Those words in particular rang true to her. Throughout her life she had struggled, only to fail over and over, and yet here she was, still determined as ever.

Her eyes narrowed as she folded her arms, irritated at hearing the mention of slavery in the area. While she herself was not above breaking the law from time to time, slavery was something that she could never forgive anyone for. His vision and his dream, while respectable, seemed just that though, a dream. How could a handful of people pull away from a powerful force like the kingdom? Liberating an entire region of it would be incredibly difficult and she doubted the nobles of the country would let something like this occur without putting up a tremendous fight. Things could end incredibly badly for all those involved, including harming those they wished to 'free' if you could even call it that. Many citizens may just see it as going from one ruler to another.

"I have but one question." The feline pipped up, seizing the opportunity before another could talk over her, "Do you, with all your being, believe that the resulting outcome would be truly worth the effort, struggles and consequences that will most certainly ensue from attempting something of this level?" the ranger paused, watching the reactions of everyone in the room carefully, but Khalfani's more than any other. She had considered asking about the methods he proposed, but honestly, as long as they had the conviction she saw no reason to not stand beside them through the good and bad that would undoubtedly occur.

Azure Fenic

Even though Kahlfani did have some valid points it just felt as though something was off as to what was unknown currently. The guild was rather nice but he didn't realize how much of a talker everyone was what exactly it meant to be one of the members that had some weight on things. Both sides of him wanted to leave so they could get to some actual work like going back to the library and finishing his many other tasks.

Oh, ya don't we have that? The child side of his thought as everyone went on to ask their questions and just get to know the Khalfani at this point Azure would look around the room just make more mental notes about everyone. The room was more or less stacked with new and semi-new faces "Oh sweet! " he muttered to himself pulling out a small novel and hiding it under the table. Blu didn't have any plan to ask anything more to the rest of the conversation as now he was fully focused on his book.

Amir †
The scholar was feeling a bit bored. He knew the concept of the meeting. Some of the future goals and majority of the people here. Amir was not a fan of formalities. If it was not for the fact that it was Khalfani giving the speech and trying to draw people together. He would have already started to head back inside.

“Nope. No questions from me.” Amir would be verbal. His reply would be loud and clear. Interjecting before Haru could speak. She asked a question that Amir considered smart. He was starting to admire her gumption. The feline demi-human was outgoing as far as he could tell.

Amir crossed his fingers and hunched forward in his chair. He was giving a look that said he was deep in thought. The scholar did not want to be bothered by the conversation unless he viewed it as personal. Their was too much going on for it all to grab his attention.

#19Brone Heavyaxe

Brone Heavyaxe
Brone sat back in his seat as he listened to everyone else. He was surprised to see so many different kinds of people of different sizes and color, an enjoyable sight indeed. Such an interesting meeting, the forming of a guild and here was the dwarf, apart of the founding, the feeling of importance swelled within him. He laughed when hearing Yuurei's concern of growing in power, very simple, but Brone could relate, though his own focus was more on trying to bring peace and finding adventure.

The atmosphere got serious when Khalfani announced the reason to the forming of the guild. Brone initially had trouble following what he was saying, but he got the gist of it. This was a political move of a great measure. Separating from a Kingdom could lead to great problems like war. As much the dwarf enjoyed battle, war was a different story, unless one side had evil intensions, but this was different, but even though Brone was hesitant, he couldn't say anything, for he could barely grasp what will happen and what it means to them all, would they be labeled as traitors?

He grunted, his right leg repeatedly bouncing up and down as he had his arms crossed. This wasn't what he was signing up for, but then again, nothing has happened yet, maybe a war won't happen, maybe a nation can be formed in the north without bloodshed. Though as positive as that thought was, Brone felt it was unlikely.

Yuurei

Yuurei would hear Khalfani speak. He nodded as his question was answered. That was good because he planned and hope that everyone here would become stronger as time had gone by. He, of course, planning on doing the same thing. He didn’t have the time to just relax when he had unfinished business. While he had answered questions, it would seem like these people was going through it. He had been here quite some time, but he never dwelled on Fiore’s politics. He was learning about this country at the time, so it wasn’t personal for him.

Still, if he planned on making this home, then he would have to protect it from any and every threat. He heard what he said about the dark guild that was around these parts. They were something that had to get taken care of. He didn’t say anything about it, and when he spoke about receiving bounties, Yuurei would smile because he knew he wouldn’t get something like that.

The light mage would listen to Haru as she would ask a question, and he would just wait to see how everyone would respond. She was the only one with a question, but after that, he figured he would take his leave. He was quiet as he looked over to Khalfani to see what he had to say.

Khalfani †

Why was Azure even here? That was the question Khalfani pondered on the most as he heard the man-child shout, completely pulled away from the meeting. With a Sigh Khalfani kept his composure, there didn't seem to be any more questions aside from Haru's, which by the way was a good question. The informant was not acting like an informant after all, and undisciplined etiquette turned the Desiertan all the way off. However, Haru's question was worth more than putting Azure in his place. Khalfani took note of his behavior, and certainly would never forget it. For the most part though, everyone else was attentive and here for business. Amir had nothing more to say, neither did Brone or Yuurei. Turning his gaze to the Neko, he opened his mouth. "I believe that if the people need it, it's worth it." He remarked. That was all he would remark as he stood up from his seat. "In any case, we'll have time to thoroughly plan out these things, for now..." Khalfani moved towards the kitchen. "Let's eat, I'm fucking starving." He smirked. "Anybody wanna help me not burn this place down?"
