Seventeen years later
Xertini glanced around the Alchemists home at a pair. She maliciously grins and turns to beckon to her sister to follow. Kaiyumie crept close behind her and they both nodded in agreement. They sneak up behind the pair ever so quietly, their shoes making no noise on the grass. Kaiyumie threw a sphere of light into the air, temporarily blinding the pair. Xertini aimed a kick at one but was shocked when a man grabbed her foot. Frustration shoots through her veins and she threw a fireball at this face. Quick as lightning he avoids it and grasps her wrist with his free hand. Kaiyumie summoned a tree and one of the branches whacked the man across the face. Kaiyumie got overjoyed and didn’t see the trap beneath her feet. Another man had shown up to help. The smoky circle encased Kaiyumie and she could not escape. Distracted by her sister, Xertini did not see the previous man sneak behind her. She tried to kick him as she turned but he just put her into a head lock. The pair whom had been attack were watching this with fright. The second man walked to them and said
“Everything is fine now. We are sorry of this frightened you. Please proceed from here.”
The pair left and the second man let out a long sigh. He looked back at his partner and the girls they had stopped. The one his partner held had pure hate in her eyes. The trapped one just sat quietly inside her circle and just watched both men with fear in her eyes. Finally he spoke
“So Ladies mind telling me what you were doing?”
Silence.
“Look you guys could be something better than just bullies. Try to join a guild.”
The hateful eyed one answered, every word dripping with pure venom
“We don’t need anyone.”
“So you say. You both belong somewhere and you both need help badly.”
The fearful girl looks at her sister and says
“Maybe we should try to join something? Honestly Xertini, I’m tired of attacking people. I want to help.”
CHAPTER ONE: Burn Tini Burn!
The sisters approached a large building made of marble. The door was a large oak one with an old iron knocker. Written in fading elaborate letters was ‘Tatakai’. Kaiyumie slid behind her sister as she knocked. The knocks reverberated loudly. A sound behind the door followed by “shoot” alerted the girls. The door opened inward and a young man’s face popped out. He looked at them with circled blue eyes, indicating he slept very little. He coughs then clears his throat
“May I help you?”
“Hello. We are Xertini and Kaiyumie. We wish to join the guild.”
The man stares at them for a few more minutes before saying
“Alright I’ll take you to our leader. It’s her decision.”
Aquarius sat on his throne of shadows, bored beyond recollection. In his right hand he twirled his staff of darkness. He looked over to a black wall at a composite. Staring at it only infuriated him worse and the twirling of his staff quickened a humming noise now audible. His assistant MiSHART walked into the room and his mood immediately lightened. He could never stay angry for long around her. She was holding a few parcels in her hands and she passed them to him. Aquarius took the parcels and began to read them. On the last parcel was a drawing and Aquarius began to chuckle. He had finally found his missing prey from the years before. He leaned back into his throne chair and laughed loudly. The drawing was of Xertini and her sister. “Soon” Aquarius thought. Soon he would fulfill his seventeen year old goal and show Arcana reason to fear him for ages to come.
Xertini’s mentor sighed loudly and deeply. Xertini had managed to burn up half of the fields they were training on in a matter of seconds. xMori glared at her and barked
“Again! And this time do control it better. I’d rather not have the Abysmal Priestess breathing down my neck because you can’t control a tiny spark.”
Xertini frowned at this remark and she flicked her wrist. A large boom sounded and the fields were once again ablaze. xMori quickly pushed water from a nearby river onto the flames. He lets go of the book he had been reading, leaving it to float in the air, as he strolled over to his newest disciple. He looked at her and said in a somewhat agitated tone
“Pay attention.”
He lifted his right hand and a small orb of flame appeared, its flames leaping about hungrily.
“Creating a spark is all about care and control. You are letting your emotions rule over your power and this is why it’s……messy.”
Xertini took a deep breath and relaxed. She pictured that exact same orb in hers, the flames, and the way it seemed to just hang there. She opened her eyes and saw an identical orb in her hand. She started to laugh and let out an excited sigh when the flames went berserk. A stream of fire nearly hit xMori as he evaded it. She quickly stops the power and helps xMori back to his feet. He looks at her and says
“Almost. Now do it again.”
