♡ A Gathering of Lost Souls ♡

The plans had been made.

In their post-catastrophe travels, wandering guildless and attempting to get their heads straight, the two young souls happened across something interesting. Theo was always one to find the best places. It was his passion, after all. Seeking out lost locations, snooping out treasures, the thrill of discovery...all of these were satisfied when they came to the base of some beautiful waterfalls. The mermaids there were friendly and helpful, familiar with humans from the town ahead. Said town was friendly enough. It was called Timbermere Valley. While it had it's own charms, Theo's eyes were set on grander things. His eyes wouldn't leave the mountain that rose at the edge of the town, its peak hidden in the low clouds. It had all the markings of housing something amazing at the type, and if he was wrong, at least the view would be unmatched. After staying the night, he vowed to scale the earthen behemoth to see what it held.

Theo's hunch paid off big time. After a long and difficult climb, they fought their way through the cloud later to the peak. Aurora borealis rewarded their long journey, reflecting off the tops of the clouds...and off a shimmering castle to dwarf all castles. Finishing the climb at the golden gate, the two wasted no time getting inside. It seemed abandoned, but in impeccable condition. How something gilded in gold and expensive as all get out could lie untouched was a mystery...until the guardian arrived.

A majestic unicorn appeared inside the castle grounds, regally shaking its head in warning. Long story short, it instantly loved Rin and approved of her entry into its domain, but in the opposite way instantly adopted a vehement hatred of Theo. At least while the creature chased Theo around in attempts to stomp, stab, and eject the man from the premises, Rin got a good look around. The icy eyed jello mage eventually eluded it, dubbing it Murphy and holding no ill will toward the protective equine. Standing in a great golden hall, the lovers decided this would be the best place to start new. To create a guild from the rubble, a safe haven for those like them, those whom had made mistakes but were trying their best to become saviors to those in need. Those that deserve to overcome injustices and provide justice themselves.

Days later, Theo returned to Timbermere Valley with iLac in hand. He knew just who to call to invite to the new guild, freshly dubbed Aurora. The tavern he'd already come to favor was the building built highest on the mountain side, sporting the best view of the entire town as well as the Ivory Cascades in the distance. One by one he called the recruits from his old guild, giving instructions of where to meet him in excited and animated tones. Hopefully they'd all come!

Vhesira had come to expect things to go wrong as soon as she'd started to find some measure of comfort and belonging somewhere. She'd been a member of a guild for only a few months when everything had just... collapsed. Quite literally in certain aspects. Once again she'd been on her own, meant to wander aimlessly again... and then she'd been contacted by someone familiar.

She didn't really know that Theo had her number, but she wasn't complaining at the time. Though she had to admit that, despite the beautiful view, she felt rather... nervous and on edge as she entered the tavern she'd been told to come to. While she wasn't quite as shy as she had been when she'd first started her career as a guild mage, the idea of starting over anew, even if it was a guild populated by people from her previous guild, was still a bit.... nerve-wracking.

Still, it was something she was committed to do, and she glanced around as she walked in, searching for a familiar face.

When Luna received the text, she responded immediately, she talked things over with her family over her circumstances. Her siblings knew that as soon as Luna would respond to the text, and were incredibly supportive of her choice to leave. However, her eldest brother had a request, which Luna agreed with to an extent. Luna had just arrived in town, before checking her iLac again, confirming the location of the meeting place.

She spent the better parts of a few hours trying to get to the new town. However, she could quickly see the meeting point, from bellow the mountain. The walk up to the tavern was long, and Luna was nearly out of breath halfway up the mountain. The mermaid companion on her shoulder started to get concerned. "Mistress, if carrying me is too much,I can transform and walk..."

Luna let out a bit of a laugh at how crazy that sounded. "Stay where you are, you weigh barely a pound, two at most. Besides, you don't have shoes, and hurt feet make it worse for you in tail form when you revert." Luna made her way up to tavern, wiping off her sweat and catching her breath before entering. She wanted to make a great first impression if she was meeting her new guild master. Looking for the Ace of her former guild, now Master she never had the chance to speak with him before now, true she saw him around the former guild hall, but she never talked to him directly.

Luna entered the bar, however she grabbed the mermaid from her shoulder and held Neptuna in her hands. Neptuna's curiosity and anxiety caused her to look around the room nervously. However Luna was more worried about the guild master scaring the poor thing and getting hurt as a result. Luna quickly spotted the figure of the famous jello wizard and approached him. "Hello Master, it is good to see you in good health." Neptuna looked at the man, and could hardly bring herself to words. She waved to him and with a tiny whisper spoke "He- hello."
