Reia was new to the town of Galia. It was much smaller than the city she grew up in, Silvermoon Pier. That was a major city with amazing amenities, night and day life, and a huge variety of Mythics and Magic Users. But the city life wasn't for her anymore. She wanted to be somewhere where she could connect with herself and soul search, and the city wasn't the place for that. Luckily, Reia's father worked for the SPA guild as one of the lower guild masters, and he was able to send Reia with enough Solars in her account to buy her own place and have some left over for everything she would need. She found a place along a quaint stream, and it was perfect for her.

She planned on joining the guild here too, knowing she had still so much she could learn about her power. Reia wrapped a warm cardigan around her thin frame, and then pushed her hair away from her face slightly. Her hair was as black as a raven, and her eyes were blue like ice against her pale skin. She was excited to start her new life here in Galia, hoping that she would feel more fulfilled here than back home. She made her way to the Order of Galia guild, taking in her surroundings gently. She began to hum quietly to herself, and she held a tiny little map in her hand on a piece of paper to help her find her way. The town really wasn't that big, but she could get lost if she wanted, she figured.

Finally after a short while, she came to the building and looked at it for a few seconds before heading inside the doors, putting the map into the back pocket of her jeans. "Here goes nothing," she whispered to herself, walking up to the main desk to find out some more information about her classes, the layout of the guild, and just how things were run in general.

Welkins was making his rounds through the small town of Galia. Not much happened often, but it was still one of his jobs in the Order of Galia to fulfill. As usual he greeted everyone he saw with a smile and wave as he had his rifle slung across his chest and his sabers by both his sides. Welkins was a young man just starting out in the guild. His father had been a guild master and he wanted to be just like him one day. Not many people got to make their way up in the ranks that often like his father did, so it would be rally cool if he could do it too.

"Nice day for a stroll isn't it Welks." One of the towns folk said to Welkins as he passed by. "Just doing my rounds for the guild today Isara." He smiled and waved at the woman. She was maybe a few years older than him, but he never asked since it was a very rude thing to do. "When are you going to get that hair cut our of your eyes Welks?" Isara poked fun nowing full well that He liked the way his hair was. Welkins had thick brown hair that covered his right eye slightly. It didn't matter much since he had a glass eye patch over his right eye. There was nothing wrong with his eye at all if anything the eye patch helped when he had to aim down the sights of his rifle. The glass made it easier to look out of. "When it get's a little longer I'll take a few centimeters off." They both giggled and Welkins was on his way. Galia was small and everyone in the town knew everyone, which was nice when someone needed help.

Welkins finished his rounds and started to head back to the guild to let the guild master know that he finished the walk around. It has been a long day and he just wanted to get home and lay down. "Should be a smooth rest of the day." He smiled to himself and walked on into the main building.

Reia was speaking quietly with the woman at the desk. She had drawn on a piece of paper where her classes were in regards to the main foyer. She had smiled and listened attentively, taking the new map she had gained and holding it in her hands. "Thank you again so much for your help," Reia said, smiling a little at the woman when she felt another person walk into the room behind her. That was one of the things Reia could do with her Spirit affinity. She could feel people's presences right away. She hadn't met many people in the town yet, and she felt like each person she met was curious and almost surprised at the fact she had come from somewhere else, at the fact she was "new".

She turned slightly and looked over her shoulder to see a young man walk into the room, he had brown hair and he wore a glass eye piece. She figured he looked mostly human, but so did she and she wasn't. She turned back to the woman at the desk again and gave one last thanks, "I'll see you around I'm sure." Reia looked down at the map now, standing still to make sure she would follow the right way to each class. Finally she began walking slowly towards a long set up stairs heading up onto a second floor.

Welkins walked up to the main building and noticed someone new through the glass double doors. He had never seen this woman before in his life. Maybe she was new. He'd just have to ask Wendy at the front desk. Once he walked in, the girl had turned around slightly as if to see who had entered. He smiled just to be nice and was only able to catch a glimpse of half her face. From what he saw she was cute. He couldn't wait to meet her, but before he could walk up, she left looking down at a map. She must be looking for her classes.

Once the girl was out of earshot he made his way up to Wendy. "Hi Welkies, how are you?" Welkins sighed, but smiled at Wendy. "Wendy you know I hate it when you call me that." All she did was smile and laugh. "Oh I know, but it's because of that that I do it." She put her pen down. "I'm guessing you're here to report in? I'm also betting that you want to know about that new girl too." She winked. "Umm well yes to both of those." He blushed a little thinking that he made it to obvious. "Well you know I can't tell you much, but what I will say is that she just moved here and you will have her in one if not more of your classes starting tomorrow." Welkins was both excited and disapointed at what Wendy said. Excited to meet the new girl and dissapointed because he couldn't meet her now. Oh well he was ready to go home and call it a day. Who knows maybe they will stumble into each other at some point today.

Welkins said thinking you Wendy and started to make his way home.

Reia was busy making her way to each class to learn where they were. It didn't take too long of her going back and forth to get the building down pat. She was pretty smart, and usually remembered things fairly quickly. Once she felt confident enough that she could find her way tomorrow, she went back down the stairs to the foyer. She thought maybe she would go see town center and the market and see if there was anything of interest there. She waved gently at Wendy and then left the building.

Reia wondered if there were ever any type of threats to Galia. Often in Silvermoon Pier there were mythics and magic users causing problems. She felt like she didn't need to carry her daggers around here, though figured she would starting tomorrow, just in case. She was tiny after all, standing at just 5 feet and weighing only 90 pounds. Despite her small stature though she knew she could be fierce. Finally she made her way to the market place, and stood there in the street just reading all the names of the shops and looking at the vendors.

Welkins started making his way home only to find himself talking to Isara again at the markets. He loved interacting with everyone, but today he just really wanted to get home. He was tired and wanted to hurry up and meet this new girl. "Have you seen the new girl yet Welks?" As if Isara already knew what was on his mind. "Not yet. When did you see her?" He was a little shocked about this. Isara got to meet the new girl but he didn't? Damn it. "I haven't met her yet, but I saw her walking down the street towards the stream. Who knows maybe if you run you'll catch up with her." She giggled to herself at the though of Welkins running after some girl.

Welkins didn't want to look or sound weird to the new girl so he just shrugged it off and continued his way home only to stop at the weapons smith to buy more ammo for his rifle. He never really used iit except on hunts, but he liked to be prepared. That what his father would always say. "Son." He would start. "No matter what is going on you should always be prepared for the worse to happen." It was good advice and he always followed it.

Welkins heard someone behind him and turned around to answer. In front of him was the tiny girl from before. She seemed to be lost and he knew the whole town so why not help out. "Oh hello I saw you earlier at the guild building. I'm more than happy to help you find the grocery store. I'll take you there myself." He smiled excited to see the new girl. "I'm Darion Welkins, but everyone just called me Welkins. What's you're name?" He started to lead the girl out towards the grocery store which was closer the the center of town by the Windmill.

"You're new here aren't you? I've never seen you before. I guess it would only be gentleman of me to welcome you to our town of Galia." Welkens was very curious about the girl. It wasn't often that new people would come and join the Order of Galia. As they reached the grocery store, he stopped and smiled at the girl. "Well here's our stop. If you ever need anything just ask. You can usually find me around town or in the market. I can show you around sometime if you'd like." He just kept smiling, hopping he made a good impression.

Welkins looked up at the Windmill with Reia and smiled. "From the big city, huh? That really cool I've never been there before, but have it on my list of places to see. Yes I've lived here all my life and I quite like it here. It's small and everyone nice. Well atleast most of the time. There are a few who are rude, but don't pay them any mind." He looked down at Reia while she was still looking up. She was very cute and he really wanted to get to know her more. Hopfuly they would become good friends. She made a comment on his outfit which did seem very military like, but that's because it was. He had to wear it since his job in the guild was a scout. Which was another reason why he had a rifle too.

"Oh this?" He looked down and pointed to his outfit. "Nah I have to wear this everyday. I'm a scout for the Order of Galia. All scouts have to wear one. I just so happen to be the only one." Reia thanked him for showing him the way and started walking over to the grocery store. She looked back over her shoulder and flashed him a grin and waved. He smiled back at her and waved back. She disappeared into the building while Welkins just stayed standing there for a few minutes. He couldn't get Reia's grin out of his head. It was just as cute as she was. Everything about that girl was cute. In all his years of living in Galia he had never seen any one as cute as her. 'Better not tell Isara that. She might skin me alive.' He laughed to himself and started to make his way back home.

Welkins eventually made it back home after being stopped by quite a few people on the way. He din't mind it all to much though since he liked everyone. After kicking his boots off and placing his rifle and sabers down, he made his way to the kitchen to make some food for the night. Chicken and baked beans. It's wasn't what he'd normally have, but he felt really good about the day. Made a new friend and the town was still peaceful. He was mostly happy about his new friend Reia. He couldn't wait to see her tomorrow at class. It wasn't everyday that someone from Silvermoon Pier moved to little ol' Galia.

Once dinner was done he started to take off his uniform and put on some normal clothes. After washing all the dishes he used he grabbed his rifle and headed out again.

Welkins Looked around as he walked out of his house. The Windmill was a nice place for him to live. It was peaceful and out of town. Gave for a good look up at the stars. Looking around he noticed that there was someone close by. They were holding a whole bunch of paper bags and looked like they were going to fall. Welkins rushed over to help and noticed that it was Reia who whas holding the bags. His speed became a little faster and caught the bags before they fell out of her hands. "Hello again. Surprised to see you way out here." He smiled and laughed a little as he took some of the bags and helped her out.

"So you're the one who bought this house." Welkins pointed to the house in front of them. "Pretty place it is. Hope you don't mind me living next to you." Motioning over towards the windmill.

"Your dad seems like a very nice man to buy this place for you." Welkins smiled as he placed the bags down on the counter for Reia and helped put things away. She offered him some different types of drinks so he figured he could have a tea with her and get to know her a bit more. "I would love a tea if you wouldn't mind." He smiled again and sat down at one of the stools. "Is there anything else you would like me to help you with?" He said gently before sitting. He could tell she was looking at his glass eye piece, but paid it no mined. He was used to people looking by now. She had a very beautiful house though and was surprised when she said that her dad got it for her. He didn't want to seem rude so he didn't ask about it at all. He figured if she wanted she would tell him. "So why did you want to come to Galia? I'm sure there were other places that you looked at that were probably nicer."

Welkins sat on the couch oposite of Reia and listened to her closely as we made up his own cup of tea. Two creams and three sugars. Just right. Once Reia was done explaining why she was here, he stayed quiet for a bit as he sipped on the tea. "Well I think that is a great reason to come here. I think that you'll find that the people here don't expect some huge reason why and they are happy to make you feel right at home. I just wish that you could have come at a better time. I don't know if you have heard, but one of the bigger powered city guilds are trying to march their way over and take over. I don't think they will come here, but I just wanted to warn you." He looked down at the cup for a bit then looked up again and smiled. trying not to seem like he was worried, but he really was. Going to war wasn't something Welkins was ready for.

Anyways Welkins didn't want to frighten Reia so he changed the subject. "What kind of classes are you going to take? Wendy said we might have a few together, but she wouldn't tell me which ones." This time his smile was genuine and excited. Nothing made him happier then to have a friend in a class. It made the day go by faster and as much as he liked going to th Order of Galia, he would much rather go on missions and walk the town with his rifle. Who knew maybe one day the two of them could go on a mission together, but that was a distant thought.

"Oh!" Welkins said excited "We have weapons class and free period together." He smiled wide, feeling happy that they had more than one class together. Once he was done smiling he reached up to his glass eye piece and made sure it was still on properly. He could still see out of it which was good, but it would sometimes shift and come off, which wasn't good. "Well maybe in our free time I can show you around. The town is your home now so might as well meet some new people and see the sights."

Reia had moved to make some more tea then crossed her legs. She seemed to be very flexible. Welkins had never seen anyone so flexible. Then again he also had never met a girl who was a short as Reia, but that made her cute. A few sips later, Welkins had finished his tea and went to pour some more looking outside and seeing that it had gotten dark. "Oh I had better get home now. I have to be up early for my morning watch. Thank you for the tea and I can't wait to see you in class tomorrow." He said his goodbye then made his way back over to his house. Thinking about Reia the whole time.
