Fantasy Alabastor: Age of Heroes

[OverconfidentMagi]

Silber glared at the guildmaster's back until the man was gone, leaving him standing alone in the clearing, surrounded by smoldering splinters of wood, poisonous smoke, and spikes of bamboo. He let go of his astra, and everything he had dragged along its timeline was suddenly pulled back to how it was supposed to be. Bamboo shoots shrunk down into the ground and returned to the seeds he'd scattered, as did the tall grass he'd caused to grow. The ivy around his feet returned to seed as well, but what had already been burned did not. It would have taken more energy to return something so thoroughly destroyed to haw it had been, and he really didn't care that much about a few seeds. For the same reason he left the blasted apart tree he'd felled.

The drahkin walked to the edge of the clearing and found an old tree he could rest against. Using his claws he carved a note to himself, reminding him that he hadn't yet settled matters with the butcher. He then sat with his back against the tree and stared up at the quickly darkening sky. Staring up at the sky through the trees, he could almost fool himself he was back home in the gray woods. He released the technique that he'd used to make himself older and stronger, his body shrinking back to its child-sized form. His turquoise eyes saw the sky. Beautiful. It reminded him of home. He wondered how the fight had gone. Had he won? He didn't remember any of it. Hopefully his future self had remembered to leave a note this time... Silber fell to the side and passed out curled up on the forest floor at the base of an old tree.

"Aha! I think I got somethin, mon!" Bill exclaimed cheerfully to the ostriches behind him. The cormorant had been looking for clues around the path the drahkin was told to leave. A trail of footprint, each of them was huge, probably came from the biggest humanoid foot Bill have ever seen, that or he was wearing a gigantic sized shoes. The hunter's nature of Bill began to kick in. The Barbadosans are restless hunter, they can track down preys along the river side for days, looking at the faintest of clues like broken twigs, mud tracks and shed scales or hairs. Bill father's was one of the best tracker in the tribe and Bill himself certainly isn't far behind his man. The cormorant returned to his cart and began to direct his borrowed ostriches after the track. He needed to go after this track as fast as he could. The target was not far away and if he hurried, he would catch up in no time.

The cart went deeper and deeper into the forest. The track began to faint away in the pile of fallen leaves, but Bill's keen eye sight could still catch the glimpse of the drahkin's track. Eventually, The track completely disappeared. Bill stopped the cart. He jumped down from the cart and looked around. He wasn't frustrated, he didn't lose the track... He just arrived at the destination.

Something was there, watching him. Bill became completely silent. Gutter formed up in his wings, ready to be use in any moment. His body tensed and his gular pouch shuddered by his heavy breath...

Suddenly, something dropped from above. Its impact blew up fallen leaves and moist soil as it landed right behind the bird. Bill slid forward, spun and turned back to face the figure. It was a man, a large muscular man, wearing a slightly torn vest and trousers. Both his shoulders were decorated with skull of animals, possibly some sort of basilisk and the skull was linked together by thick silver chain that ran across his slightly exposed chest. His right hand bore a gauntlet with long, metal claws sticking out. The man had long hair, which tied up into pony tail and atop of his head, 2 large curved horns. His red eyes glared at bill with sight of rage shining from them.

It's certainly the drahkin Bill was looking for. He rose up, his height towered over Bill like mountain, even the ostriches seemed small comparing to the big man. "You are trailing after me?" Said the drahkin, almost as if he's roaring. "Yah! Ya be destroying caravans left and right, I be here to make sure ya don't get to do it again." Answered Bill. Even if his opponent was far more intimidating than him, it didn't move him a bit. "You have no business with me, bird... Get lost." Demanded the drahkin. "Oh? But catching criminal bastard like ya IS my business, mon. Surrender and return to Bronzewood with me now or this be gettin dirty!" Bill threatened. The drahkin was silent for second and then chuckled. "I think you are gonna have to do it difficultly then..." Said and drahkin. His eyes then glowed and both his fists gleamed with astra energy. "Oh, it's on!" Bill smirked.

Daries smiled excitedly, her eyes lighting up. She dropped the basket she was holding and reached up to take her glasses off, her pastel eyes more visible now. Daries proceeded to shyly shimmy out of the long skirt she was wearing, thankful she had worn shorts underneath. " The w-water looks perfect too!" Daries hummed, walking to the edge of the water and slowly placing her foot in, shivering a bit when she first touched the water.
Slowly but surely, Daries sunk into the water. She reached up to tie her cloud white hair up into a bun, speaking as she did so. " The water feels amazing!" The sidhe reached her hands up to the sky, looking up at the twinkling stars and glowing moon. This moment was so perfect. So content and safe. Daries hated the fact that one day, this feeling would disappear. Whether it was her hunt for revenge or a mission she was assigned to, the pastel eyed girl knew the perfect feeling would vanish. Daries decided not to worry about the future, and instead focus on the moment. " Come on in!"

Yigira​

Yigira watched as two of her companions jumped into the water and were enjoying themself. Good for them, but she prefers to be inside a building at nighttime, it feels safer for her. So she waved her hand and bid the two goodbye.

"Enjoy the bath you two, Yigi will be in the main building. Yigi's room is the one next to the stairs. Bye." The sheepkin started walking towards the direction of the main building, but stopped after just a few steps only to said.

"Mya, and there's free dinner prepared if you want one. Yigi sure does~" Whistling a happy tune, Yigira jogged towards her room. She was glad that today would ends smoothly. The contruction works finally finished and she would get her paycheck later. The fellow guildmates look unaggressive enough to not flatten each others during their first meeting, that's a plus. And moreover, since she worked in some of the construction, she was able to claim one particular room without much trouble.

Yigira opened the door to her room, which had a 'claimed by Yigira' sign on it. Unlike the other rooms, this one didn't have any corner. Yigira used her astra to pads the corners with additional wood and thus the rooms looks like the inside of a ball rather than a box. Moreover...

"Myahahaha."

Yigira stomped on a particular spot next to the bed and the floor crumbled, revealing a decent-sized room underneath it, she can put another bed inside if she wants to but no, the room has another purpose other than a place to sleep. Yigira reached into her pocket and dropped a few silver coins she obtained today into the already huge pile of coins in the room. Each coins was polished into perfect shininess, enough to even be used as a small mirror. Satisfied with the sight of her money hole, she closed the hole by growing back the wooden floor. Now, time for dinner and then sleep early. Today sure was tiring!
