Joining Lamia Scale(Intro)

Just as the man had inquired about the nature of the guild, a massive explosion shook the multi-purpose center with a small figure shooting out from a door and flying across the room. While normally smoke was associated with explosions, this one contained white particles and residual energy. The energy would feel unlike any magic in the known world. It would feel warm, but not hot. The weight was immense, but no one would feel stress from it. Those who felt a particle hit them would feel nothing but the purest of love radiating from the single droplet; a feeling that quickly faded away as the particle did.

On the other side of the room was a girl wearing a strange outfit. A crimson mini skirt with a pink, floral sash around her waist. Her under garment match the sash, and had a blue one over top it, with a white shirt over-top that. She wore a heavy mask that concealed her face entirely and was in the shape of a cat with two small slits for eyes. She had managed to avoid hitting anyone on the way to the other wall, but it only meant that she would take the full force of the impact instead of sharing it with someone else. She slowly got to her feet, stumbling slightly on her way up, but recovering fast enough to react to an attack. A cutlass materialized in her hand that was used to block a boney weapon that was covered in spikes and rotting flesh. On the other end of that weapon was a man who had obviously forgotten to stay dead, as he was a zombie. "Ye failed again lass." he said in a grim tone. Their swords clashed again and Kaori's cutlass shattered. She spun, pulling a white sword out while screaming 'Shirofune' and trying to attack with it but failing miserably. The sword immediately vanished into the same particles from earlier, leaving her open. As she did, the zombie pirate brought his sword down and stopped just before it would've hit her neck.

"Match." called a soft voice from the doorway. A girl stepped out that was wearing a pirate's outfit of her own. Her long, light brown hair gently flickered behind her as she moved towards Kaori. "A-are you alright Captain?" she asked in a sweet, and concerned tone. "She's fine. That's only the third or fourth time she blew herself up today." the walking corpse said nonchalantly. "It was the tenth." Kaori replied in a disheartened voice. "Lady Ceostra won't be pleased that I destroyed another door either..." She added as she began dusting herself off. "Bah! A few strokes of glue and a couple nails, it'll be fine." the zombie retorted.

Kaori looked around and saw a couple new faces. More specifically, someone she knew from guild records, and someone she'd never met. "Thank you both for helping me today. I think I should rest a bit before we start up again." Kaori said to the zombie and pirate girl, who both agreed and began walking out of the building. The masked ninja then made her way to the other two, her mask hiding any signs of emotion as she looked at them. "...."

Kaori turned to Elaine first and bowed respectfully. "Miss West, welcome back." she said in a very calm, gentle, but strong tone. Her voice would be slightly muffled by the mask, and contain no true emotion to support the words. "We've yet to meet, but I've seen your name and face in the guild's history books. My name's Kaori. I'm a member of the Lareci Clan from Midi." she said calmly to greet the returning member. She then turned to the new person, a man she'd never seen. "I apologize for the earlier explosion. My magic isn't as stable as I wish it were; so Lady Ceostra, the leader of these people, has kindly allotted me a room to train in. If you're looking to join I'm afraid you're in the wrong building..." Kaori said in the same voice she gave Elaine. She then pointed out a window to the other bridge connecting Lamia Scale's castle to the rest of Hargeon, an intimidatingly long bridge at that. "You'll need to go back across the bridge, and then cross that other one to get to the correct area." she informed him. She figured he were here to register since he wasn't a member of the guild, and he didn't look like a tourist.

Kaori pulled out a small, blue, rectangular prism shaped crystal that quickly vanished. It was a mana crystal, one of the many the clan kept stored in their armory. Since Kaori was generally bad with magic, she had to use them for training to prevent her from using all of her magic and requiring medical treatment. Her problem was that she pushed herself too hard, using spells that were too strong for her, and being too hard headed to try something weaker.
