[color=red][b][center]Lucas[/center][/b][/color] The sun was shining into Lucas’ room. It seemed as though some supernatural force decided that he needed to wake up be cause there wasn’t light shining anywhere but over where his eyes were. [color=red][i]Why does this always happen? It happened when I was in Lotus too![/i][/color] He climbed out of his bed, the walls were painted black so no light would reflect in his room at night. He found himself in the kitchen rummaging through the pantry… [color=red]“Oh yeah… We don’t have food - we just moved in a few days ago.”[/color] They’d been eating out at restaurants and at the guild and forgot to buy food for their apartment. [color=red]“Melvus!”[/color] Lucas attempted to find Melvus, his roommate and old friend. From the other side of the apartment he could hear a crash. [color=red][i]There he is…[/i][/color] [color=blue][b][center]Melvus[/center][/b][/color] Melvus woke up early that morning to read. He spent his morning hours reading almost everyday. If you don’t read your magic ability will become stagnant. In the past few weeks he’d been trying to learn thought projections because he’d read it in a book somewhere. So far he could only project his voice. [color=red]“MELVUS!”[/color] Melvus heard the roar of a terrifying beast yell his name and he fell off of his chair and onto the floor. [color=blue][i]Oh… That was probably Lucas.[/i] “He’s finally awake… It’s already six thirty.”[/color] Melvus regained his composure and stood up. [color=blue]“Yes Lucas?”[/color] He asked from across the apartment, his voice raised so his friend could hear him. [color=red][b][center]Lucas[/center][/b][/color] After a few seconds came Mevlus’ voice. [color=blue]“Yes Lucas?”[/color] It sounded as bored as ever. [color=red][i]He’s probably reading…[/i] “I was just gonna say that we should probably get some food for the apartment soon. We shouldn’t spend all of our money eating out or at the guildhall.”[/color] After that he made his way back to his room, gathered some clean clothes and jumped into the shower. [color=blue][b][center]Melvus[/center][/b][/color] Melvus replaced his book on the shelf. It had many, many, book all about magic, its different uses and different spells. After that he gathered his things, including his cloak and began making his way to the guildhall. Draycott wasn’t the best town in the world, but it was rather nice. It had a river running through the middle of it and a few guilds within, including a wizard guild, the Golden Dragoon guild which Melvus was a member of. As he approached the guild, the hall became visible and it was a sight to behold. The guild itself was shaped like a dragon with an open mouth, the guild’s double doors inside of the mouth itself. As Melvus pushed them and entered the smell of freshly cooked breakfast filled his nostrils. He walked down the hallway to the ‘hall’ itself where there were a few wizards gathered already. [color=blue][i]Probably waiting for breakfast…[/i][/color] Melvus chuckled to himself and approached the counter, [color=blue]"Good morning, could I have two applications for membership?"[/color] He asked the wizard behind the counter. [color=red][b][center]Lucas[/center][/b][/color] Lucas stepped out of the shower grabbed a towel and dried himself off. He put on his usual t-shit, jeans and coat. He gathered his gate keys and made his way to the guildhall. [color=red][i]Melvus, no doubt, is already there…[/i][/color] He ran out of the apartment in a hurry to the guildhall, not wanting to be late to apply and choose jobs, though Melvus would be there to pick one for them. As Lucas jogged he took a look around to admire the new city. [color=red][i]I’ve never noticed it before… there’s a river? I guess I’ve never taken this way to the guild… it has only been a few days…[/i][/color] None of the buildings, except for the clock tower in the middle of town, were really tall enough to overshadow any other builds. I was a nice little town and it had just got a new guild. Lucas was thinking about all of the exciting things that they’re going to do in the new guild when… [u][b]“HELP!”[/b][/u] He heard a cry and began looking for the source when he spotted it inside of an alley way. A man, brandishing a knife, was attempting to mug another man. Lucas ran into the alley and stopped about ten feet away from the assailant. [b]“Get outta her’ kid. If ya know what’s best fer ya!”[/b] [color=red]“I’m not leaving… In fact… In fact you’re going to give him back all of his money and his wallet and whatever else you took from him.”[/color] The mugged man didn’t seem to excited that a teenager had come to help. [b]“I’m gonna do what now?”[/b] The man didn’t seem to be having it. He ran at Lucas, ready to stab him… or mug him or something. [color=red]“Open! Gate of the Dragon, Draco!”[/color] Lucas cut a key through the air that he had pulled from his coat pocket. DING! A magic circle appeared and from it stepped a woman… more like a dragon woman? Who wielded a katana and had green dragon legs and arms. [color=green]“Yes Lucas?”[/color] She didn’t seem to notice what was going on. The man ran right into her and hit his butt on the ground. [color=red][i]She’s like a rock wall…[/i][/color] [b]“What the hell is that!”[/b] [color=red]“Draco, just disarm him please, or knock him out or something. Really, just stop him from stealing that guy’s stuff.”[/color] Lucas pointed at the mugged man when he said ‘that guy’s’. [color=green]“Alright, seems easy enough.”[/color] She reached out and took the blade from him, no effort necessary. [color=green]“Here’s your things.”[/color] She tossed the man a wallet and a few other things from the mugger. [color=green]“Anything else Lucas?”[/color] [color=red]“Do you mind taking him to the guards? I have to get to the guildhall. After that you can close the gate.”[/color] Lucas explained to the man that he was a member of the wizard guild in town [color=red][i]I'll probably be one by the end of the morning[/i][/color], to quell any confusion then he ran off and made it to the guild a few minutes later. [color=red][i]Waffles?[/i][/color]
