White cold ashes is cease to cover the town, exposing something that was ever be seen for thousands of years. Well received reports stated most of the inhabitants are incapable of reaching outside of their residence, due to the low exposure to the sun rays.
Though, some had less effect on them such as the Canis tribe. Their fur is thick enough to prevent them from having to deal with sun burns.
Whereas, Johnn was coeverd in pink wrap and veins popping everywhere from how he walk with pain glossing after him. Johnn accompnying The Captain by walking on a lonely road with none to witness how unrealistic Johnn's skin are.
Yesterday, The Captain wore her kimono tighter than how it was suposed to be wore. Now said kimono is loose to an extend, it still modest without exposing herself like the others do.
The Captain stops and lean against a wall with a low window on it. Her arms crossed. "I believe there's something wrong isn't it, Phyr?"
The window is forced open, emerges a tall figure with layers upon layers of cloth. The only physically visible from this figure was the face, yet cease to be illuminated trough by the sun. "I believe it's your first time taking a glance of sunlight from this angle, lucky I ain't from this continent."
Hands on the window, Phyramned's gaze follow The Captain's path.
Phyramned paused, then rushing towards a room.
"Uhhm-" The Captain climb her way up to the window and rest her back against the vertical frame.
"I actually don't mind if you ask me a favor, and I know damn well how it actually feels."
Phyramned stopped, eyes rolls from side to side. Phyramned lean closer towards The Captain. "You know Umbral Social Guild?"
"Indeed I am, persuade them to emit faint darkness for the entire town?" The Captain's eyes are closed, but her head keep following Phyramned's potition changes.
Snap of finger came from Phyramned "Naiss, I'll count it as one of your mission. Just do it now, I have something to do. SEE YOU LATER!"
Phyramned vanish to dust. The Captain turn to her back, end up witnessing Johnn bathe in heavenly light. "Seriously? What are you? You're no model."
Johnn's act stopped all at once, his body regain 2 week worth lost melanin. "Alright, geez. I'll stop, it's not like anybody seeing."
"You're wasting my time." She took an immediate action by dashing towards the destined location, dusts of dry dirt sprayed to the way she stopped. The structure in front of her stood high, it doesn't emit light. However, a bunch of faint sound can be heard if you pay closer attention inside.
The Captain acsend into the door of said structure, large gothic doors about half a ton each one stood before her way inside.
No thought process was bring up here, The Captain push said door without the ground fell to dusts. "Good morning everyone, glad to witness all of thee here."
The entire room fell silent, but the lifeliness is still present. Figures in mantles all flabbergastled from inside, their face is barely visible within the cloak.
The Captain inhales.
"I stand here as mediator of guilds from the Scarlet Guild, The Town had been run over by a problem. We need your assitance to plunge the town into the darkness." All of them are stunned from what they witnesses.
"What?" A single loud confusion represents the entire group altogether.
The Captain sighs "Truly, I have ever lie and it shall be my demise if I did. Fortunately, all the civilians are cooperative to keep themself captive inside their residence. Exept my partner..."
Some had stand up, followed by the rest. One of them nearly touch the light, yet stopped by The Captain. "Before you do, use a sun screen."
Minutes is thrown out of window, The Captain emerges from the structure with several individual in black rushing out.
One steps out of the crowd before giving an ultimatum. "SCATTER!"
Groups in black vanished from the sight, rushing with all their might towards each point they are tasked to be. Though they never did this before, but they merely spends minutes to get to their respective position.
The Captain keeps up with one of the member of said guild, the same one who shout scatter before. They didn't expect her to be this fast and able to keep up with them, both stop at the same place.
Several flare are fired acoss the town, all of which visible here. On The Scarlet Guild.
No additional thought was fired, the figure casually jumps over a building. Followed by The Captain who also did the same, and she's watching this figure reach out their pocket to pull something small.
"STOP!" Phyramned screamt, the figure pauses and catch the thing coming at them.
With a lot of breath was taken, the exhaustion was clear on the eyes. "It was upgraded- uh. So, uh- go ahead."
The figure nods, hands perpendicular to the horizon and the trigger is pulled.
A beam of light escape the gun, it acsends with a shreak behind the trail. It's like a call of the beast, darkness began to engulf the town. The beam still brighter than ever, until whats left is just roofless dome of darkness.
The figure sigh out, now facing Phyramned. The mantle was off, revealing a black hair behind those hood. Slim, round and adorable, with a small stature though still taller than The Captain herself.
"Ah- so, how had you been?" The figure launch this exact question to Phyramned like they were friends.
Phyramned smiles "Pretty chill, and who could have guess something like this had to come?"
"Yeah, I thought the same." Pairs of eyes both lends gaze towards The Captain, both have the same thing in mind. 'Small'
Phyramned's teeths shows, as it slowly close back in. "You- still believe that lights are the spawn of deceit?"
The figure's gaze turn towards Phyramned. "Well- of course I am, vibrancies are the thing that lure us away from what to do. It can be many shapes, but uncertainty is not what i seek."
Short sword on the tigh, ready to be unleashed at any times.
"The truths lies within the knowledges and touchs, and the thing cannot be mistaken." Proud stature is what they gave to Phyramned.
While Phyramned just started to make a small giggle. "You know there's a lot of flaws there you ignorant, but it is your belief. But if you did anything too far, then my bois will stop you."
"Fascinating."
Out of nowhere, The Captain just slip her sentence into their conversation. Which pinch the interest of a certain Phyramned. "What did you find?"
"Now I know how that one rune combination works, and oh boy it's damn simple." Both of the figures now went towards The Captain, curiousity had got the best out of them.
"What do you mean?"
The Captain put out her hand, it's on a ready snap position. "Listen and open your eyes."
Snaps echoes, lights disperse to many things until it's completely dark. But it was mere seconds before everything was back to normal.
"Wh- what was that?" Dim lights blind them in an instant, but they regain their sight soon after. The Captain pulls her hands together.
"A litte trick i learned from my opponent, who nearly cost my own life to beat it." She laughs, then helps both of them stabilize.
"I always knew you're not a regular person, ever since you came back." Phyramned Red-ish hair, with fuly human skin. Still pale as ever, while the other one was dark haired cute girl and an equally pale skin.
"Yeah, whose balls heavy enough to breach in our monastery." To be honest tho, you call that small building a monastery?
Umbral Leader keep uttering "Who in the right mind had push that door with their bare hands!?"
"Wait, you aren't suposed to push it?" The Captain in shock, shifts her gaze towards The Leader.
The Leader sighs "Of course idiot, it can be lifted with magic."
"Hmph!" From exit of the roof, heard this cry.
Johnn out of nowhere flexing his muscles on the mirror, with how fit he is. Guess nearly everyone was distracted from his act, but he really was ripped and hunk at the same time or more in the between. "Johnn, stop flexing and make the ladies went to you."
"What? You told me those are ladies?!" The Captain still in confusion, but glance back at Phyramned and Umbral leader.
But she's sure both staggered individual here was a female.
"You can't tell?"
"The gloomy one I can tell, but Phyramned?" He corrects his robe, while still not wearing any shirts.
"I don't know Johnn was like that, and you venture with him alone?" Phyramned cover her lips, glancing back at our fluffy Captain.
She raised her left hand, forming fist. Of which there was a ring on her ring finger. "He's not my mate, so that is nothing of a concern to me."
"Oh, for second I thought both of you are- nevermind."
Phyramned shake the hell off Umbral Leader, snap her out of her dirty fantasy. "What- no, I don't think! I just, uhh. Sorry, a bit hypnotized there."
Johnn came closer to our group. "Hey, Phyr. Do you know any personal small ship seller here?"
"Oh, yeah. My ass forget yesterday, and If you know anything?" The Captain only smirks, forgetful she is.
"A small ship seller you say, I think there was someone I knew that was capable of making this ship of yours. Follow me."
Phyramned went down stairs, followed with the rest.
"Hey, I haven't have your name. Mind if you tell me?" The Captain walks right besides Umbral Leader, height difference is noticable. While The Captain upowards pointed ears even their height out.
"Sorry, I haven't introduce myself properly. My name is Phanta, Phanta Rasme."
"Good name." With all of them present on Phyramned's office, she began searching for something.
It really took rather long, until they decided to play chess together.
.
"Is she always like this?" The Captain waiting for both Johnn and Phanta to either checkmate.
"Check." Phanta move her king back, clearly outplayed.
"Mate." Johnn offer a handshake, and both have a similarly sized hands.
She accept the handshake "Damn, maybe I am not really that good of a leader."
Total win for each was 6 for The Captain with no losses, 4 for Johnn with 6 Losses, and 3 wins for Phanta with 7 losses. "You two aren't really playing chess, are you?"
"Then what are you? A Chessmaster?"
"No, but I memorized the whole chess pattern. So I could just use the best outcome-"
"Hey, now I remember him!" Phyramned screamt with our group startled, and put back the chess pieces together.
