Luna: "Again!" *She squinted her eyes and pulled the string back.*
Lezard: "Well, around this time, Trevmeister and myself were out on a mission together and, guess what?"
--
Lezard: *He took a deep breath and leant forward in exhaustion.* "I can't."
Trevour: *He took deep breaths, standing in front of Lezard with his back facing him.* "It's all the food you've been eating-"
Lezard: "Lies!"
Trevour: *He watched a lion-like Scoldrant prowl towards him.* "Back away!"
Lezard: (I'm too weak to even heal Trevour-)
Trevour: *He shouted with an echoing voice and dropped to one knee.* "DUST STORM"
*A ring of sand splashed like water and grew in speed, suddenly erupting up underneath the Scoldrant.*
Lezard: *He looked up in shock, watching a house sized swirl of sand throw the Scoldrant into the air.* "Trevmeister?!"
Trevour: *He looked up, surprised at his own power.* "W-Wow?"
----------
Lezard: "That vigorous training with Rachael certainly helped one of our heroes out!"
*Lezard sighed with a smile and faced the entrance to Silver Wind Island, causing an aura made path to appear.*
Lezard: "Well, after all that.. It's been two years since we created our delicious guild."
*Lezard hobbled across the path and formed a fist in determination.*
Lezard: "Everyone agreed we needed to practise before heading out into the real world. What that means, I'll never know. But I understood the logic behind it."
*Lezard watched the Silver Triplets swirl around the island, revealing a door sized opening.*
Lezard: "But, I look forward to what the future holds and what's in store for our guild."
----------
*A ray of light blasted down from the sky, causing aurora coloured lights to ripple across the clouds.*
?????: *A man moaned inside the fading aurora coloured lights and slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in an open field.* "Where-?"
*A leopard-like growl snarled from behind the man, causing him to quickly stand up in shock.*
?????: "W-W-Who's there?!" *He squealed and stepped back, scratching one of the many pimples on his face.*
*The man slowly turned around, as if he was petrified what made the sounds.*
?????: "I-If this is a j-joke, I'll c-call the-" *He turned around and stuttered with a dropping jaw.* "W-What.. I-Is that?!"
*A leopard-like Scoldrant which was three times larger than the man stood in front of him, wagging its tail as if it was ready to attack.*
?????: "Okay.. Tyler.. Do you do drugs?" *He spoke in a calm relaxed manner, as if his brain was trying to rationalise the situation.* "Or am I dream-?"
Scoldrant: "Gernorroarl!" *It roared in Tyler's face, causing a few strings of saliva to flick him on the face.*
Tyler: "A-Ah?" *He looked down in terror, watching his pants darken around his crotch region.* "F-F-Fuck!-"
Scoldrant: *It opened its jaw, revealing a perfectly white set of razor sharp teeth.* "Gnoarl!-"
Tyler: "F-F-Fuck!-" *He squealed in disbelief, ignoring the growing patch in his pants.*
?????: "Lightning pulse like veins, true power recharge and discharge and flow through the easiest current, LIGHTNING STRIKE"
*A thick stream of lightning fell from the sky and struck through the Scoldrant's head, burning into the ground.*
Tyler: "A-A-A-Ah!" *He uncontrollably shook in terror, falling onto his back.* "Fuck!-"
?????: "Who goes there?"
Tyler: "Far-Far-Far-Fuck!"
?????: "Greetings, Fuck."
Tyler: "W-Who-?" *He looked to each side, overwhelmed with emotions.* "Ashton?! Twortz?! Rachael?! Melinda...?! Lance?!"
?????: *He hobbled up to Tyler and looked down, noticing the darkened area around his crotch.* (Has this gentleman urinated on himself?)
Tyler: "W-Where?!"
?????: "This is-"
Tyler: "Where is the store?!"
?????: "Store? What are you-?"
Tyler: "Th-That thing-" *He watched the Scoldrant collapse on the ground in disbelief.* "Pl-Please, don't hurt me!"
?????: "Hohoho, I just saved you. Why would I want to hurt you?"
Tyler: "..." *He continued to twitch in terror, glancing to each side in a paranoid-like manner.*
?????: "My name is Season-"
*Several more leopard-like growls snarled in the distance, catching Season's attention.*
Season: "Please, come with me to my city."
Tyler: "W-Why should I go with you?" *He squealed in terror.*
Season: "It's much safer in there." *He spoke with a smile, while purposely looking at the defeated Scoldrant.*
Tyler: *He hesitantly stood up, unsure if he could trust Season or not.* "Umm.."
Season: "Let's go. I have a few questions to ask myself!"
Tyler: "W-W-What...?"
Season: "For instance, what is with those strange clothes you wear?"
Tyler: "S-Strange clothes?"
Season: "And, your way of talking is slightly different too." *He gently placed his hand on Tyler's back, prompting him to start walking.*
Tyler: "W-Where am I?" *He sniffed, nervously scratching an oily pimple on his cheek.*
Season: (Herm..) *He rubbed his chin in thought, as he made his way to an enormous grey sphere.* (He appears to be in a state of shock? I understand Scoldrant attacks can be frightening, but to act like this?)
Tyler: "I-I want to go home-" *He stepped on tiny white pebbles and scratched another pimple on his face, causing it to bleed.*
Season: "Well, where are you from?" *He stopped at the grey wall.*
Tyler: *He sniffed and wiped under his eyes, staring at the wall in confusion.* "What are you-?"
Season: "Since you're in shock-" *He gently held Tyler's arm and stepped through the grey wall, causing it to ripple like water.*
Tyler: "A-Ah-?!" *He squealed in terror and kept his eyes closed.* "It's solid rock!-"
Season: "Excuse me?"
Tyler: "You're crazy-" *He heard people chatter, causing him to open his eyes.* "Huh? Where-?"
*Tyler gasped in shock and spun around, noticing he stood in a massive city in confusion.*
Tyler: "Where are we?"
Season: "Hohoho. This is Surpreon!"
Tyler: "Surpreon?"
Chapter 13: Song Versus Summoner
*Trevour and Rachael had a few drinks at the tavern, talking to each other with smiles.*
Rachael: "I can't believe it's been two years."
Trevour: "I know, boss!"
Rachael: "Do you think it's time we go for our first S classed mission?"
Trevour: "I certainly hope so. We trained non-stop for this moment."
Rachael: "Well-"
*Karol, Lezard, Nathan and Luna walked into the tavern, catching Rachael's attention.*
Rachael: "Hey!"
Lezard: "Ooo, hello you two little monsters."
Rachael: "Hehe. How was the mission?"
Lezard: "Well, Karol's supportive skills, Nathan's amazing sword skills and Luna's long range attacks, I didn't even have to heal."
Trevour: "You didn't? Not even once?"
Luna: "Nope." *She smirked and sat down on the bench, clicking her fingers above her head.* "Some rum please!"
Keeper: "The usual!" *She smiled at Luna and started to pour some drinks.*
Karol: *He hopped onto the bench and sighed with a satisfying smile.* "Awesome work, everyone."
Lezard: "Everyone has grown up so much! I remember our little hero couldn't even get on these benches without help."
Karol: "Th-That's because I'ma man now!"
Nathan: "Hmph, no you're not." *He spoke in a deep voice, smiling at Karol.*
Luna: "It has been two somethin' years, aye."
Rachael: (We're seriously like family.) *She smiled to herself in thought.*
Luna: "I still think Trevour is a pushover."
Rachael: "Luna?" *She sounded annoyed.*
Nathan: "Let her talk, it's constructive feedback."
Luna: "Yea. I'm just tellin' ya-" *She sniffed and looked away.* "'Cause I've somehow grown to like havin' you around."
Trevour: *He smiled and looked down, swirling the brown liquid in his cup.* "I know."
Nathan: "You already know?"
Trevour: "Indeed, sir."
Luna: "If you know you're a pushover, then.."
Nathan and Luna: "Why?"
Trevour: "My biggest mistake, is that I take people on at face value.. I trust people too easily.. It's a weakness I know I have, and I can't change it.. It's a part of who I am."
Rachael: (He's like Ashton in a way-)
Luna: "You're such a twat."
Trevour: "M-Madam?" *He sounded surprised.*
Luna: "Then you'd get walked all over, aye."
Destiny: "Yeup." *She purred in agreement.*
Rachael: "I have to agree with Luna."
Trevour: "You think so too, boss?"
Lezard: "Ooo, plot twist." *He sarcastically spoke in excitement, wiggling his bottom on the bench.*
Rachael: "Although he never agreed with me, I watched people use and abuse Ashton's kindness." *She looked down and quickly took a shot of her drink.*
Trevour: "Don't misunderstand me."
Nathan: "Hmm?" *He grunted and watched the barkeeper place cups across the table, causing him to start drinking.*
Keeper: "And a non-alcohol beverage for the guild's leader." *She smiled at Karol before walking away.*
Karol: "But I didn't order-?"
Keeper: "On the house."
Karol: "Nee hee, fanks!"
Trevour: *He looked at Nathan.* "Don't take advantage of my kindness, it won't always be there."
Luna: "So, you're not nice some times? Like, you get your period?"
Trevour: "Err.."
Luna: "Aha, I'm just messin', aye."
Trevour: "Heh heh." *He shook his head with a smile.* (Strange-)
Nathan: "I've seen you act quite harshly to some people."
Trevour: *He nodded his head.* "Despite taking people for face value, I'm able to understand the signs of a bad person."
Lezard: "Ooo, this is getting deep."
Karol: "Slurp.." *He happily drunk his drink from a straw, as if he wasn't really paying attention to the conversation.*
Trevour: (Alan.. Felipe.. Rosemary..) *He frowned in recollection.*
----------
*Alan, Felipe and Rosemary stood in a line inside a room completely made of stone, staring at Trevour who sat on the edge of a bed.*
Trevour: "What is it now, brother?"
Alan: "You need to start practising solid rock."
Trevour: "But.. I can't."
Rosemary: "We've almost peaked the secondary level of our elemental affinity-"
Alan: "How many times do we need to tell you?"
Rosemary: "In honour of our parents!"
Trevour: ".. I can become strong.. Practice what I've already got-"
Felipe: *He shook his head.* "If you always aim for what you've already accomplished, then you will always achieve what you've already got."
Trevour: "H-Huh?" *He looked up with widening eyes, as if Felipe's words triggered a train of thought.*
Felipe: "Let's go, Alan, Rosemary." *He turned around and moved his foot to the side, causing the stone door to roll open.*
Alan: "Get a grip, Trevour. You can never be as strong as us with your damned sand."
Rosemary: "As much as I love you, Trevour-" *She looked over her shoulder, staring at Trevour.* "You need to stop playing in the sandbox."
Trevour: "Rosemary-"
Rosemary: "..." *She silently walked out of the room and swayed her arm to the side, causing the door to roll back.*
Trevour: "..."
----------
Trevour: *He looked up, glancing at each guild member.* "I've been told by my siblings.. If you always aim for what you've already accomplished, then you will always achieve what you've already got."
Rachael: "Hey, that's a pretty cool quote."
Trevour: "It was meant for something else, but I took it for that."
Nathan: *He smiled in respect and took a sip from his drink, causing him to pull a sour face of satisfaction.* "You aren't bad, Trevour."
Trevour: "Thank you, sir."
Rachael: "You mentioned you have siblings, brother or sister?"
Trevour: "I have two brothers and one sister."
Lezard: "Wow, I know what your parents were doing."
Luna: "Must've not had electricity aye? Aha."
Rachael: "Hehe."
Trevour: "What about you?"
Rachael: "I'm an only child."
Trevour: *He glanced at Luna.* "And you, madam?"
Luna: "Retarded brother."
Lezard: "I'm also an only child."
Nathan: "Same." *He spoke in a deep voice, leaning back in a manly manner.*
Karol: "I've got my two cousins. They're twins."
Trevour: "Well, now we know." *He spoke with a smile.*
Lezard: "Enough seriousness, little monsters-" *He raised his glass to the middle of the table.* "To us-"
Trevour and Rachael: "The Rostical Guild!-"
Luna: "The Guild of Epic People-"
Nathan: "The Mighty Guild."
Karol: "The Remenistal Guild."
Lezard: "The Flavoursome Heroes!"
*The guild spoke at the same time and clicked all their glasses together.*
