The rising sun [group]

[Heero Villenn]

Heero yawns as he slowly arose from the hammock he was sleeping in. It was in the Fairy tail food storage room, otherwise known as the pantry. Wooden crates were stacked below him and loaded with food stuffs, on one wall there were barrels some labeled water, some liquor, and some juice. This was his home, his room, where he lived and slept mostly every day.

Heero stretched himself out before tossing the blanket that was over him off and jumped out of the hammock onto the ground. When he landed, he walked over and pulled an apple out one of the crates and walked out of the pantry into the guild’s main hall. It was empty. Heero guessed it was still early and nobody was awake yet. Looking out the window confirmed Heero’s hypothesis as the sun was only just beginning to rise. He didn’t really have anything to do so Heero though he might as well make himself a real breakfast for once and returned to the pantry.

Heero came back out of the pantry a moment later with a few eggs and went to the kitchen, dropped a pan, on the stove, lit the stove, and cracked the eggs onto the pan after melting some butter in the pan to prevent the egg from sticking. Once the eggs were on the pan Heero got a spatula to flip the eggs and tossed some salt over his unborn chicken breakfast. After waiting about 4 minutes, he flipped the eggs. While waiting for the eggs to cook some more Heero got out a plate and fork for himself before returning to his eggs to flip them back over. Heero put a lid over the pan as a way of trapping the heat and cooking the egg through faster. Heero liked his eggs cooked in between over medium and over well. After a few minute wait Heero flipped the eggs one more time, waiting another 2 minutes and put his eggs on the plate. They were a little singed but that wasn’t a big deal. Food was food. Before eating Heero did the logical thing and put the pan in the sink and turned the stove burner off. Once his kitchen was clean Heero grabbed his plate of eggs and walked over to a table and sat down facing the open window, kicked his legs up onto the table, and started eating as he watched the rising sun while he waited for everybody to show up.

[Sergius Marduk]

Sergius held Kurikara's hilt with both hands as the sun begun to rise. His face and dark-blue tunic was dotted with sweat around his collar and back. He heaved up and down from his previous exertion. " That's enough. " he told himself, relaxing his body and letting the blade hang by his side. The gray sky was especially cool and tranquil. A flock of birds dotted the sky and a breeze visited the area before moving on.

He couldn't wait to return to Fairy Tail, it had been three months since he had found the guild. The promising rivals and the powerful master brought a sense of hope to his pretty unfortunate future. The little spot he was occupying was only a mile or so from the guild house, but it still felt like he ways from home.

His swept his navy-blue bangs to the side, the sweat from the workout had stacked annoying strands atop each other with glue-like properties. He ran up to his azure-colored vest and grabbed it from the branch above him. Before running down to the Guild.

Serguis pushed opened the large door with a single hand, hoping to still catch the guild at its early point; when all the mages were still groggy or to tired to interrupt his loud banter. When he only saw Heero, Sergius made a disappointed expression, cocking his head at the man. " Dude what are you doing up all by your lonesome ? " he asked, lifting his shoulders slightly in the process. He grabbed a seat at the table and adjusting Kurikara on his back, turned it around before sitting in it. " You cooked eggs and didn't save any for the guild ? " he asked sarcastically.

[Ardere]

Ardere walked into the guild with his hands behind his head leisurely, he had a long day yesterday.He didn't get much sleep last night due to the noisy neighbors, that was one thing he didn't like about Magnolia, noise. He usually didn't come into the guild this early btu he needed some social time, and some breakfast. He could smell something cooking before he got inside but as he walked in he would be too tired to notice. He sighed as he entered the guild and went to it at the bar. So far only Heero and Sergius showed up, he sat down and waved at the two guild members. Hey. He hopped over the bar and pulled out some sake and a cup, he then poured the cup full of sake and he got ready to sip. He exhaled deeply then sipped from the glass, it was not warm but it would do just fine he thought. He stayed behind the bar and drank sake until he realized that Heero had made eggs. He gave Heero a scowling look and spoke. You gonna share those eggs friend? He chuckled a bit, he had only known these two for a short time but he had gotten somewhat comfortable around them. He was one to not like new faces but these two he would act more leisurely for sure.

He hopped back over the bar and sat at the stool wondering where Mavis was, she was always there in the mornings. He figured she slept in, again. For a guild master Mavis was very strange, but that could be due to her age. She was younger than Ardere in fact but that didn't cause any of them to underestimate her power. She was one of the most powerful mages in Fiore even though she was so young, many still respected her and some even feared her. She was definitely the ideal guild master, except her overemotional side. Ardere hadn't been here long but he had been here long enough to know Mavis was very emotional at times.

[Heero Villenn]

Heero sat there for a while until Sergius Marduk came in all sweaty. Heero assumed he had been out training all night again. "You cooked eggs and didn't save any for the guild? " Sergius sarcastically remarked.

Heero took another bite of his eggs before responding. “Nope,” he replied in a blunt manner. Heero was kidding, but it was just fun messing with Sergius every now and again. It wasn’t much longer until Ardere, another guild member, stepped in this time. Heero watched as the man pulled out some sake to drink for himself. Heero simply continued to eat. You gonna share those eggs friend? Ardere asked with a chuckle. Heero just decided to repeat himself. “Nope,” he replied before finishing off the eggs.

When Heero finished the eggs he joined Ardere behind the bar and put his plate in the sink. He’d wash it later as to not piss off the guildmaster. “So what are you guys doing up so early?” Heero asked.

OOC: I do not believe mavis is our guild master Ardere. The guildmasters are all custom according to my knowledge. It would be nice but we can't steal any characters whether they be NPC's or PC's. Please ask Lays and Syren to be sure but I'm certain our guildmaster is an elderly man.

[Sergius Marduk]

Sergius looked over his shoulder at Ardere as he entered the room, flashing a greeting smile and half-hearten wave. " Heya. " he replied. He wasn't too sure of Ardere drinking so early in the morning , but he had to admit he was sensing that the three of them would be under some obligated friendship if they kept running into each other. Which he was fine with if they weren't hiding some terrible secret or something.

He looked up towards Heero when his blunt, emotionless reply came. " I had a feeling you'd say that. Good thing, I'm not that hungry isn't it. " Sergius said evenly, standing up from his seat.

He twisted it around and placed it under the table. " A you guys. I'm wondering something. " he started with a thoughtful tone. " What do you think about taking on a mission together. I know its early and all but I'm itching for a fight. " he told them cheerfully.

[Ardere]

Heero had rejected to share his eggs with Ardere so he recieved a dirty look but it quickly went away. Then he and Sergius were asked what they were doing here so early. Truthfully he didn't really know what he was doing up so early so he gave an honest answer. I don't really know, I guess I figured I could use some company. He sighed and poured some more sake, he loved sake. It was a little bit too early to drink but he didn't care, he was kind of selfish in that sense. Then Sergius made a proposition, a mission. He hadn't ever been on a mission with anyone before, he was kidn of a loner most of the time but he figured one couldn't hurt. Sure, why the hell not?

He finished his sake and stood up, he then stretched his arms and walked over to the request board. He saw a few missions but nothing fancy, he figured it was too early to tell. He turned around to face the two mages. Nothing that good is up yet, we should wait till later and check. He put his hands behind his neck and walked back to the bar then sat down, he had a feeling today would be a long day. He had a long day yesterday and he didn't want the process to repeat so he needed some action.

[Erik Cecere]

Erik sat with his legs crossed on the powdered pink cushion of the regal white stool in his bedroom. He stared forwards, locking gaze with the gorgeous reflection in his classic white vanity desk mirror. He raised an eyebrow as he closely examined his skin and other features to ensure there were no significant changes in his pores or blemishes. The shrill high pitched screech of the alarm clock rang through the pampered masters bedroom of Erik’s apartment. Erik smiled and rose from the stool, making his way across the clean white carpet and tapping the alarm clock to turn it off. Erik always woke up before his alarm clock, it was almost as if he challenged himself every morning to get up ahead of time. Erik was up this early every morning tending to important things like hair and makeup. As Erik walked towards the bathroom he stopped at his window, pulling open the lace curtains and pushing forth the windows, allowing the fresh morning air and light of the rising sun to fill his apartment.

He giggled softly as he leaned out of his window staring out at the beautiful city. Every morning he stared out at the city, before the bustling and busy life begun once again. Even at this time in the morning however, you could see the collection of strangers moving about the city, just as busy as Erik. The city really doesn’t sleep. Erik spent well over an hour just getting ready. He had to shower before he could do anything, and of course with shower came both hair and skin care; shampoos, conditioners, soaps and moisturisers! Afterwards Erik would have to make a final decision on today’s outfit, which he had lowered to a select few the night before. Erik didn’t think there was ever a time he could decide on his clothes the night before. How could he accurately tell if he didn’t know what mood he’d be in the next day! Erik chose a combination of white clothing with pink trims. There was a sleeveless open white jacket with a pink trim and under, and a greyish black vest. He wore a coordinated pair of white trousers with matching pink trims. Accessories included red bead earrings, a gold band tied around his upper right arm and a yellow write band on his right wrist. His left hand had a loose yellow and silver write band with a silver ring on his left middle finger. Erik stared at himself in the mirror for a moment.

“It’s missing… something.”

Erik reached for a small gold crown on his vanity desk and positioned it tilted to the left side of his head.

“Obviously.”

Erik smiled and winked at himself in the mirror. Of course, he still wasn’t done, after dedicating another thirty minutes to make up Erik stepped into his white heels before heading out the door. He’d have to grab breakfast at the guild today, he was already running late after spending so long rummaging through his accessories.

Erik stood before the large wooden doors of the Fairy Tail guild hall. Erik had worked at Fairy Tail for seven years, and had been an active member for almost a year now. The members of this guild were very eccentric, but at this time at the day he was expecting to see an empty hall. It was even a surprise to see who he saw as he heaved open the door and elegantly stepped inside. Three men of the guild Heero, Sergius and Ardere seemed to be having a breakfast. Erik smiled at the boys and waved softly.

“Morning Boys.”

He spoke in a soft effeminate tone before strutting through the hall towards the pantry. He could see from the corner of his eye they had already prepared a meal for themselves, eggs. Just Eggs? Well, eggs were quite nutritional; they were perfectly acceptable for breakfast. Erik was just a fan of bigger and healthier breakfasts. Working for the guild had created a soft of forced habit of making enough food for, well almost everyone. He pulled out breads, juices, eggs and meat such as bacon. He sang to himself as he prepared a breakfast git for, most of a guild. There really was no way of feeding all of Fairy Tail in one go… Erik allowed the other boys to talk amongst themselves and after a little while had emerged with a tray of plates. He took a plate for himself and sat by the other boys as he began to eat his meal.

“Mm, that’s beautiful. Good job if I do say so myself.”

His gaze shifted between the few boys. He curiously wondered what it was they were discussing before he had arrived.

[Heero Villenn]

"A you guys. I'm wondering something." Sergius started to say something and Heero turned his head and looked at Marduk to indicate he was listening.” What do you think about taking on a mission together? I know it’s early and all but I'm itching for a fight. "It would seem that Ardere was game. Heero however, was not.“No thanks. There’s no point in all three of us doing a small job with little pay and then splitting it three ways eh Fool-kun?” Heero retorted jokingly with a little smirk on his face, putting emphasis on Sergius’s nickname ‘Fool-kun'. Heero’s eyes shifted as he heard the door open and saw a dark skinned man with a pink buzzcut hair style walk through the door.

“Morning Boys.”

Heero knew who that was by the sound of his voice and the pink buzz. It was Erik Cecere, Fairy Tail’s ‘honorary female’. Heero didn’t care about such things. As long as Erik didn’t come onto him, he didn’t care. He went over to the kitchen and started making something. Heero assumed he was going to make something for everyone currently here. He also assumed it would take an hour with Erik’s obsession with beauty. Heero didn’t really care. It was an extra meal he didn’t have to cook. Erik set the plates down after complimenting his own work. It was eggs, toast, and bacon. A more balanced meal then what Heero made for himself earlier but Heero felt no disdain over something as trivial as being showed up unintentionally. "Thanks," Heero replied as he grabbed one of the three remaining plates and wolfed the meal down in about a heartbeat. It was as if he was a vacuum cleaner. Not that it mattered. Well, actually it did since he slept in the PANTRY.

Heero got up and walked back over to the sink to put his plate in the sink again and looked over to his side to notice the apple he had started eating. It was a little late now as it had started to brown around the area he had already taken a bite out of. He also noticed an ant or two on it starting to eat the part of his breakfast he forgot about. The brown didn’t really matter too much but Heero wasn’t going to eat anything that the bugs had already gotten too. Heero picked up the apple and tossed it outside for the birds, or bugs, or molds to eat. Whichever got there first really. It would probably be the bugs. Heero decided to take a look out the window and watch Magnolia, the city of merchants and magic, awaken into its usual hustle and bustle as the sun had pretty much risen at this point and was in the sky. A job actually didn’t sound too bad right now. Only issue was that Heero wasn’t going to split almost nothing between three people. Sure he lived at the guild and didn’t need a whole bunch of extra cash but there’s a difference between little jewel and almost no jewel. Heero would probably do a solo mission soon. There were a few low end jobs that needed to be done like a drunk around town or someone who couldn’t find their pet. That’s all there was but nothing major.

[Sergius Marduk]

Sergius looked towards Ardere as his answer had came first. A small smile curved his lips and his hands were tucked in the pockets of his black trousers. " Awesome. That's one down. " he said looking towards Heero for his answer. Heero's answer had brought a frown and than a reluctant smile to his face. It would seem the one nickname that was degrading or for laughs would follow him around. " Don't call me fool-kun it might catch on. " he said slightly annoyed.

While Adere looked at the board for missions, Sergius found himself seating on the edge of the table, facing the large doors but looking over his shoulder towards the others. " You guys, all I'm saying is a mission would be fun. It's not always about Jewels " he said placing emphasis on jewels and directing it towards Heero. " Who knows maybe even Eri- " He started, but soon being interrupted by the sound of the doors opening stopped.

As the strutting mage entered the guild, Sergius couldn't help but smile. " Speak of the devil ! " he yammered excitedly, pushing himself off the table. He had to admit, the pink haired man was one of his favorite people at the guild. He lived without fear of being judged and that was something Sergius found admirable. He sauntered up to Erik, only to walk along with him as he headed to the kitchen. If their was anything he learned about Erik its that he barely stopped moving for anyone.

He stopped at the counter of the table and smiled as he watched the man cook, his black tail whipped below the tall stool as he gazed. He had to be honest, Erik was quite the weird fella, but who wasn't now a days. It was just a matter of who was hiding it well enough.

Sergius felt his shoulder heat up and realized that the sun was rising. That meant that more of the guild's members would be down sooner or later. And that his lone echoes would soon by ear-deafening roars.

After Erik had sat the plates down and the guild members begin to pour into the building, Sergius found himself facing a crowd of like-wise groggy mages. For the most part they ignored him, but a few greeted him and others seemed only to be interested in the food Erik had made. Sergius had honestly not been that hungry so he simply hung out with others. " Erik you want to head out on an adventure with me. The others are to scared to do anything. " he mumbled, picking on the Heero and Adere.

[Ardere]

Ardere kept sipping some sake until Erike entered, he had his eyes closed but he opened one as the pink haired mage entered. He wasn't very fond of that guy at the moment, he was too outgoing for Ardere's standards. Hey. He opened both of his eyes and sat his cup down. Today was turning out to be an active morning in the guild, he was okay with active just not too active. If there was a fight he wouldn't mind, he loved to fight. It was one of the ways he bonded with his guild members. If they didn't brawl they probably wouldn't bond as well, it was a strange yet new Fairy Tail condition considering the guild had only been in existence for less than a decade. It was a rather new and rising to the top kind of guild.

Ardere leaned back on the bar with his right elbow on the bar and his back arched against it, he was acting quite leisurely today. If we can't go on a mission, how about a brawl? He smirked slightly at the three guys in the guild at this moment. Of course I'd understand if it was too early in the morning for you all but it could be a good way to wake up, that's all I'm saying. He refilled his cup with sake and began to sip from it, he would understand if they didn't accept but he hoped they didn't chicken out. Fighting and reading were his two favorite past times, he lived to do those two things. He had also been itching to try out his magic against these mages, heavenly body magic was a powerful and rare one. With the power of heaven on his side how could he lose so easily? The answer is, he wouldn't, he would always put up a good fight even if it came to a loss. He was a very noble person in that sense which contradicted everyone's thoughts on him. In truth he was slightly selfish but he had his reasons, it wasn't like he didn't care about others he just didn't show it all the time.

[Erik Cecere]

Erik smiled as he finished off the remainder of his meal before lying back on the chair and taking a refreshing, deep breath. There was nothing more satisfying and important than a healthy and fulfilling breakfast. He examined the decorative guild hall. It was pretty, nothing special but simplicity worked well for the guild. Of course little compared to the looks of waterfall city, Magnolia was the only close competitor.

His eyes then scanned the other three mages awake at this hour. Heero and Adere seemed detached from the conversation. Erik couldn’t really tell if that was morning exhaustion or just their seemingly uninterested front. At least Heero had thanked him for the meal, manners were important. A distinct lack of manners was truly a hideous thing.

Sergius seemed up and excited already though. Erik admired that, even at this time of the morning he was excited and ready to work. Ambition was important and not to mention Erik thought he was real adorable too. The other exhausted and groggy mages of Fairy Tail began to flood the building with life. Erik waved good morning to some familiar faces while the lucky early birds snatched the food left from Erik’s cooking. Erik curiously turned his head to Sergius. An elegant smile revealed itself.

“OoOoO Sergius. I didn’t know you felt that way.”

Erik rubbed up against Sergius playfully. He steadily laughed it off with his usual high pitched, but quiet chuckle.

“Yes actually, that sounds lovely.”

Erik began gathering the plates, staking them on top of each other and carrying them into the kitchen. Adere seemed to want to brawl. Brawling was so barbaric. Obviously training was important but brawling was such a bold adjective. Even so, he seemed to want to fight right now! It was a little sudden for Erik’s taste, he preferred to have these things planned. He exited the kitchen and stood near the three fellow fairy tail mages. He gently rested his right index finger against his chin in a gesture of contemplation.

“It’s a little sudden. I think I’ll sit this one out boys I’m busy today. But hey, you guys have fun, toughing each other up a little bit.”

Erik chuckled once again and nodded his head with a mildly provocative wink and a pucker of the lips.

“Whoever wins will get a big kiss from me~!”

Erik noticed Adere pouring some sake into the cup, probably refilling again, and probably not for the first time today. Knowing Adere, he loved Sake far too much. Erik ignored it despite his strong feelings that drinking at this time of day was a terrible idea! He looked over to Sergius and smiled.

“You can train first if you’d like. I have to run an errand first but I could pick up a job for us to do later… If you still want to...”

Erik batted his eyes following the question, once again playing with the younger mage.

[Heero Villenn]

Heero had left an ear out to listen to what they were talking about and detested the idea of having a brawl in the guild house. "Hey now. I don't mind if you two kill each other but at least take it outside. No point in ruining the guild hall now is there? I don't have to clean the blood stains off the dirt but I do have to clean blood stains off of the floor" Heero joked.

Heero got back up and walked to the job board. After a quick glance Heero got an easy one and went back to his place at the window. Things were really starting to pick up outside. All the shops had opened up already and everyone was out and about. A few kids were running around playing swords with sticks. It was a peaceful day. Heero started to think of ways to ‘liven’ things up. A good bit of mischief would certainly make for a good day.

“You can train first if you’d like. I have to run an errand first but I could pick up a job for us to do later… If you still want to...”

Erik’s words didn’t catch Heero’s attention much but it was something to keep a conversation going. Sergius and Ardere could kill each other outside f they wanted to and Heero could easily ignore it. “What, you run out of make up or something?” Heero bluntly asked in a sarcastic manner. Make up, on a man or woman, was a waste of time and money. Things like food and supplies are more important than make up. If you want something to entertain yourself at least get a freaking book or something that can be used in a somewhat productive manner. At least a book is meant to do something useful.

EXP 8

[Sergius Marduk]

Sergius felt Erik's flirtatious way building up. He had been in the guild for only a little while, but the mage seemed to always take advantage of making a few flirting hints at him. As Erik came closer, Sergius brought a lone palm up against his shoulder. " I told you I dislike it when you do that. " he mumbled, putting a little force behind the arm.

Sergius smiled heavily when Ardere mention a little sparring. Sure he had been training earlier, but what was the use of doing that if you didn't put it to use. He brought Kurikara from out the red bag on his back, its black sheathe gleamed from Sergius's constant upkeep of it. " I'll fight ya ! " Sergius shouted, stomping his ankle-high dark boots on the wooden table.

His deep-pools of sapphire stared at Adere boldly, almost challenging him as well. Heero's words for some reason spoke out among the blubbering taunts and chants of the guild around them. It was like Fairy Tail thrived off of the tension brought by battle. Sergius brought his boot off the table. " Heero, You sure you don't want in on this ? " he asked as he walked towards wooden doors and out into the shining plains. So far this guild was made of totally different people. But that was one of the reasons that made it so attracting. The people blended together like the moves of a fluent action. It would eventually lead up to a beautifully destructive combo.

The boy could barely wait, though he enjoyed the thrill of battle thoroughly, he couldn't help but gain a certain steel of seriousness when he entered battle. He stepped outside, followed by over half of the guild surrounding him - like a crescent moon. He held Kurikara at his side, holding it by its sheathe as he stared exuberantly at the silver-haired mage. " If you want I'll start. " he told him, confident in his father's teachings.

[Ardere]

(OOC: I meant magic wise and if you want to wait to post to get your magic approved or just go hand to hand then lemme know alright?)

Ardere sipped some more sake and then sat it down, he shivered a bit at the thought of a kiss from Erik, he might as well call the whole thing off if it came to that. He then chuckled at Heero's remark about destroying the guild hall, Master would be pissed if they did that. It seemed no one wanted to fight until Sergius accepted, out of the three he was the most spontaneous. Ardere was all for spontaneous, he cracked his knuckles and neck in preparation for the fight. This was going to be fun and possibly a good way to bond. Let's take it outside, Master might be pissed if we blow up the guild hall he walked outside the guild hall into an open area. Beyond that open area was street so they wouldn't go there. He walked away from Sergius about 20 feet and got ready to fight, the two were in their positions so they could begin.

Ready? Ardere asked to the mage standing before him. If the mage replied yes he would then make the first move. His entire body was encased in light energy as he flew up 20 feet into the air at a speed of 5 m/s. This was his signature spell; Meteor. As he was 20 feet up into the air he places both arms on top of each other as golden magical 7 seals appear in the air in front of him. These seals connect by strands of light just like a constellation and then they fired at Sergius at 5 m/s. The explosion had a 3 foot radius and caused large bruises upon impact. Ardere seemed to be attacking wildly right off the bat, he hoped Sergius could get out of the way or counter correctly. He hadn't seen the mage fight much but he assumed that he was quite skilled especially with that sword of his. Ardere loved weapons himself but he did not have one to accompany his magic, he would have to find one one day possibly.
Magic: 980/1,000

Spoiler:

[Erik Cecere]

Erik giggled at Sergius’ adorable reaction, quickly rejecting Erik’s flirtatious nature. His bright gaze quickly shifted towards Heero who made a blunt and sarcastic comment. Sarcasm was the lowest form of wit, a rather hideous form of humour in Erik’s opinion. It was just so… stale. None the less he didn’t let such an unpleasant sense of humour get on his nerve. He lay a finger softly against the side of his chin and peered upwards in contemplation.

“Hmmm… No I have enough makeup, but I could really do with a new pair of shoes!”

Erik smiled and allowed images of shoes to manoeuvre through his mind. What kind should he buy? Maybe he could get some beach foot wear like sandals or flip-flops. Or maybe he could actually get something attractive, like a new pair of heels. Yes, that sounded much more appealing. Erik watched as Sergius anxiously slammed his boot on the table, willing to fight. He giggled in his usual highpitched voice.

“Don’t get too dirty boys~”

He waved his fingers softly as the two boys left to go outside and fight. He sighed softly absorbing the beautiful day ahead of him and pivoted back towards Heero.

“I better get going! Those shoes won’t buy themselves! Toodles babe~!”

Erik winked and softly waved good bye before heading towards the guild doors to take his leave. He would have liked to watch the other two fight but really didn’t have the time spare on trivial things like that. No, he had much more important things to do!

[Topic Left]

[Heero Villenn]

Heero sighed as Erik left. Now there was nothing to do. A fight between Sergius and Ardere was going on outside so he could watch that but that didn’t seem appealing at the moment, so Villenn got up, grabbed his mission that he’d taken earlier, stuffed it in his coat pocket, and walked into the pantry. When he entered the pantry he grabbed a small leather bag and stuffed some food in it for the road. Heero didn’t have any money so buying something was out of the question so he had to take what he could get from the guilds storage. A few apples, and three loafs of bread should get me there, Heero thought as he tied up the bag full of food and walked out of the pantry and continuing out of the guild hall.

The job was a simple missing pet mission in the waterfall city. Strange that it wound up here and not in the guild that was IN waterfall city but it didn’t matter. Heero had never been to there before and was open to new places anytime, anywhere. Heero passed by Sergius and Ardere and had to avoid getting hit with Ardere’s little grand chariot attack. Heero doubted either one of them was paying attention to anything other than the fight so Heero just decided to keep on walking.

[Sergius Marduk]

Sergius hadn't expected the heavenly body mage to begin so viciously. Sergius followed Ardere's ascension into the air and begun to take apart his movements and routine actions. Various hints that would eventually lead to his downfall or possible mistake. The man's body glowed with a honey coating as he floated into the air. Sergius took a few steps back, and was oblivious to the growing worries of the guild around him. It seemed they were beginning to predict something that he hadn't.

Soon, seven magical seals formed over them, causing Sergius to smile at its grand appearance. " Woahh.. " he exclaimed as the other mages begin to scramble from around him. " That's some magic. " The sound of busy boots running away, made Sergius look around him. His mouth dropped at the guild's abandonment. " Guys! You're just going to leave me. " he cried. " YESS !!!! " They all shouted, in obvious glee now that they were in a safe area.

Sergius brought his attention back to sky as the silver-haired mage had thrust the magic towards him. " Ahhh crap. " he barked. Gazing at the twisting magic rushing towards him. He eyed their movements before seeing the closest one aiming for him and leaping backwards out the way.

The boy skidded to a stop. He could barely see through the dense, earth-colored smoke. Damn. I better start taking this serious. he scolded himself. A strong gust of wind pushed against his back as the attack turned into fierce explosion behind him. Serigus was forced forwards into a roll from the gust, but instead of fighting against it he simply rolled onto the ball of his feet and braced himself.

Through the dense smoke Sergius could feel Ardere's presence above him , another benefit from the blood running through his veins. Sergius dashed to the left until he came out from under the smoke. He stopped and looked up at Ardere. Sergius stuck his index finger at him and waved it side to side. " You have to try better than that to beat me. " Sergius held tight to Kurikara, reluctant to draw it until he had gotten all he wanted from Ardere's habits and movements. " I didn't know heavenly magic was so weak. " he mocked, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

[Ardere]

Sergius was just barely able to maneuver his way away from this attack, quite impressive Ardere thought. He knew that this mage was quite skilled so it was no time to lollygag. He lowered himself to where he was hovering above the ground about 2 feet and about fifteen feet away from Sergius. If your trying to read me then I might as well stop attacking. I won't move from this spot until you attack me, I like it when I surprise my enemy. And to your last remark, heavenly body is far from weak. He gave a smirk to his opponent, he didn't care about the insult. He was being very stubborn and a bit of a jerk at this point in time but he didn't care. He wasn't going to let Sergius just stand there and observe him, that was his thing. He had noticed a few things about Sergius from his first attack but nothing too important aside from the fact that Sergius fought similar to him.

If this mage fought quite similar to him then he would have to think as if he was fighting another version of himself however the katana made quite a bit of a difference. He had to strategize during this battle or he would be defeated quite easily, he assumed his opponent had already assumed his attacking style however he was wrong. The manner that Ardere had just attacked was so that he could read Sergius' reactions. He only did that once though so he wouldn't allow it to happen again. This fight was definitely going to get interesting, in fact he hoped so.

Sergius looked semi-upset when Ardere had finished spoken. " Aww really ? ". He slouched over and scratched the back of his head in a moment of disappointment, though a cheerful smile was still plastered on his lips. " I can't believe you saw through that. " he said, sounding slightly thrown off.

He straighten out and gripped Kurikara at the hilt and upper sheathe. " Well I don't really have a choice than do I ? " A smirk curved his lip as he begin to brandish the blade. As if begging to be release embers of blue flames leaped out of the inner sheathe and suddenly jumped onto Sergius' body. A shockwave of heated energy raced from Sergius' body, sweeping over the grass and leaves of the nearby area.

Sergius' appearance change as it always had when he brandished the blade. Many would consider him unsightly, but really his features were the same for a few key differences. His round, energetic eyes were now narrow and menacing. His short, pointed ears were now long and jutted outwards. Two flames were dotted on the crown of his head and one was at the end of his whipping, black tail.

Kurikara shined with the embodiment of the flames. Sergius brought the blade to his side before tossing the sheathe to the ground. " Did anyone order a demon ? " he asked jokingly before lifting Kurikara and pointing it towards Ardere.

" Well without further delay, lets start the show. " A toothy grin was flashed at Ardere as Sergius burst from off the ground and towards him. The wind tore at his vest and tunic while he rushed through the air. Sergius brought Kurikara around his head before bringing it down from out the sky as he came closer to the heavenly mage. A smile beaming the entirety of the time. He couldn't help it, he thoroughly enjoy the rush of battle.

[Ardere]

Ardere smirked. It's not hard to tell when you do the same thing, just in a different way. He chuckled a bit implying that his initial attack was a similar plan to Sergius' plan. He was kind of an jerk in that sense but it was also comical in a few ways. He was quite the bit of a smart alack. Then again being one was in his nature that was already evident.

Then all of a sudden a shock wave of flames erupted all over Sergius' body, so he had his own mode as well. It seemed that both of the mages had their own form that they could go in to accompany their magic, quite coincidental. It was kind of strange how the two mages fought so similarly, he figured it was no big deal at the moment but it had the potential to become one. Then he laughed at Sergius' remark about ordering a demon, in truth this form was quite impressive. Ardere actually liked this considering he liked to fight demon like energies which contrasted his heavenly magic. He did enjoy much contrast when it came to fighting so this could be interesting.

Then like a rocket, Sergius blasted towards Ardere but strangely enough he just stood there without any reaction until his opponent grew closer. When he was about 10 feet away from Ardere he pointed his palm at Sergius and sent a cylinder like blast of light energy at him. This cylinder had a radius of about 2 feet and could reach up to a length of 10 feet. Is he was hit by this small blast of light he would be flung back 10 feet instantly and lose his balance, this attack was made for opponents rushing towards Ardere. If his opponent was hit he would stand there glowing as much as ever.

Sergius shot towards Ardere with Kurikara in hand, he had been perfectly ready to slash towards the staid mage, when Ardere lifted his hand and shot a powerful blast of heavenly light at him. Like a true mage, Sergius reacted quickly. He brought Kurikara towards him and slanted it towards the eastern sun, instantly afterwards blue flames expanded in front of him .

The blast collided with the azure flames, causing Sergius to struggle to fend of the blast. Impressive. he thought, a smile appearing on his fiendish face. With a mighty heave, he slashed through the blast.

Sergius crashed onto the floor, skidding in a circle as he forced his leather boots to stop his momentum. His left palm was against the ground and Kurikara was held to his side in his righ, his legs were bent at the knees and planted firmly on the ground. " Woah ! Impressive blast. But now its my turn. " he announced.

Sergius landed within thirty feet of his prey, but he felt the man was either too arrogant or " cool " to move from his place; but than again it was never smart to make personal opinions about opponents you had just met. With a mighty swing of Kurikara, Sergius released a horizontal slash of blue flames hurtling towards Ardere.

[Ardere]

The blast that was caused was slightly large and didn't affect Ardere as much as it did Sergius. he turned to face where his opponent landed as he slashes blue flames at him. This blue fire mage was quite impressive he thought, he could react very well and had some pretty good spells. This was going to be a harder fight than he previously though however he knew it would be challenging. It was time to get serious he thought, so he did.

As the blast came towards him he pointed his fist at the blast a a large sphere of light energy with a 3 foot radius blasted from his fist. This blast hit the blue flames causing an explosion sending smoke across the field. Ardere immediately flew sideways away from the smoke and swept his hands side ways at Sergius, summoning 3 arrows of light that flew towards him at 5 m/s. Take that.

Ardere had begun to take this fight very seriously now and had used many of his spells however he still had a few tricks up his sleeve for this fight. The arrows he sent after Sergius were not very powerful but it would surprise him so he could possibly make one land. Whoever caused the first real injury in this fight would be very lucky, that could decide some major points in this battle.

Sergius looked towards the smoke that had been caused from the collision of magics. He couldn't see anything, but a annoying feeling tugged at him, warning him of danger.

Suddenly three burst of yellow energy flew from the smoke and was coming for him. Serguis begin to fall from the sky and with a swing of Kurikara he cut threw one of the blasts and than another, but the third manage to catch him while he recovered from one of his swings. The attack stung his skin and brought a searing pain to his side. He landed to the ground, holding his side for a moment. " That was cheap shot Ardere. " he barked, holding Kurikara towards him.

Enduring the pain, Serigus stood up and dashed towards him, Kurikara was held to his side as he attempted to enter melee combat. " Come on Adrere meet me one on one. " he said playfully, smiling all the while.

[Ardere]

Sergius slashes through his arrows like butter, his swordsmanship skills were impressive. Ardere just might have a problem on his hands, dealing with a weapon was harder than it looked. If that's how it's going then be then fine. He flew towards Sergius at 5 m/s which is slightly faster than an average human running speed. His body was still surrounded by light energy that allowed him to move sideways, diagonally, or upwards, etc at 5 m/s. This spell was definitely very handy.

He flew towards Sergius and when he was just out of reach of his sword he flew sideways about 10 feet then turned around and hovered above the ground. He couldn't afford to fight this guy in melee combat, with his sword he had no chance. He needed some armor that was for sure but for now he had to evade this guy's attacks and try to counter. This wasn't going to be easy.

Sergius's challenge had been answered. Ardere charged at him in the same right as he had and Serigus was loving the foreseeable outcome of the collision. The two came within arms' reach and for some reason Sergius felt a surge of anticipation hit him.

Was this the anticipation that always hit him before battle ? No it didn't feel like it, it felt different. More exhilarating, more... Fun in away.

A toothy grin curved his lips as a honest smile lifted his colored cheeks. He brought Kurikara from his side and swung it down onto the ground where Ardere should have been.

But he wasn't there. The man had made a sharp maneuver than turned back around. But that wouldn't be enough to stop Sergius' merciless onslaught. If that was what he thought, he was about to get a very shocking surprise.

Serguis brought Kurikara's edge from the ground with a up-spurt of blue fire, searing the ground that trapped the sterling blade. Sergius clenched his teeth together in frustration of his mishap, forming a small grimace. If Ardere was going to rely on such a versatile magic than he would have to adjust his movements as well.

Sergius tensed his body up than burst from the ground towards him without warning. The sound of the flames around him brought a crackling resonance in the air. Within a second, Sergius was coming towards Ardere and Kurikara was coming down towards his chest, it wasn't a deep slash only meant to be skin deep. " Gotcha !!! " he shouted bringing Kurikara's illuminate blade down.
