Sylus stood frozen, every muscle tense, his gaze fixed and unblinking on the being before him, heart pounding with an unfamiliar dread. ​He didn't need anyone to tell him that he was standing face to face with something that wasn't going to be registered as a normal threat. ​The being's eyes bore into Sylus with unfiltered contempt as he slowly began to hover, the air buzzing with hostility that made Sylus's skin crawl. ​“I spent millennia in servitude for my liege. I had seen the amount of power and will he had, but I never imagined that his power would be given to one this weak.” ​When the being raised its hand, Sylus immediately knew that the next thing it would do was diabolical. ​He leapt out of the way, but before he could get far, a powerful blast of energy sent him tumbling back. ​His body felt something different, almost like a familiar sensation burned through his chest as he faced the being in front of him. ​“Who are you?” Sylus asked, trying to stay clear, kn

The rubble having been cleared away, Sylus lay on the floor, staring up at the dimension. It was one of the strongest blasts he had ever witnessed. It had been almost a decade since he had felt a blast that powerful. “Ouch,” he rubbed his head, pulling himself up, trying to see if he spotted the being and knew where he was going to be placed next. But when he looked up, he couldn't find anything, like a trace of the being. Everything was gone, as if the being had vanished. “Dont tell me that it still has some strength in it?!” Raising his head, he tried to see if he would be able to spot the being. “If you thought that measly attack would be able to kill me, then you must be as foolish as they come.” Sylus looked up to see the being hovering on the other side of the dimension; the look in his eyes was still one of disgust. “I still can't believe that a mortal like you has the power of chaos within him, and for some reason, he doesn't know that.” The being hovered down, sitting

“But there is more to the families,” she continued, walking over to the stove as she turned the lever, then using her finger to light it up. “They take what they want, and no one can stop them. If you try, then something is going to happen to you, and there is no way for anyone to fight and win against them.” Sylus understood what it meant. There was something about the whole thing that made him even more worried about the person he'd been paired with. “But if Chairman Luke hooked you up with him, there has to be something he saw to make such a decision. That man has a way with things like this. I have never seen or heard that he made a wrong call when it comes to placing warriors together.” Freya made it sound as if she wasnt still going to be worried about Sylus working with the person he had been paired with, but then it all made sense. “Noah Reed,” he said, looking at the picture as his head tried to go through everything that could go wrong when he would be going on his firs

​Luke smiled, pulling out a file and showing it to Noah and Sylus. He planned to make sure they got what he was about to give them.​“Calm down, Noah, I am only trying to make sure you get what you want, and we all smile at the end of the day,” Luke spoke rather softly as he pulled out a file to show the two warriors in front of him.​Noah took another step, looking at the file Luke had pulled out and seeing something that didn't quite add up.​“Wait, you're sending us to an A-ranked dungeon?” Noah asked, his eyes fixed on Luke as he tried to process what had happened to make him even think of making something like that possible.​“Yes,” Luke replied, looking at Noah, an endearing smile on his face as he took his seat, placing the files on his table in order.​“Both of you are above an A-ranked dungeon, and I need to know what more you can do.” He continued as his eyes followed Sylus, seeing that he was intrigued by what he was seeing on the file.​“I know you might have notice

“This is Sil’s fang. Sil was an S-ranked monster that came into contact with my guild in the past years, and with my help, we killed it. Only to find out that the fang grows into a sword when it comes in contact with anyone or anything strong.” She handed Sylus the dagger; the smile on her face was still there. “Wow,” Sylus was beyond shocked, trying to take it all in. “Does the Azure Guild know that their Vice Captain is trying to spoil her older brother?” “They wouldn't mind, besides, if it wasnt for you. They won't have me,” she laughed, suddenly, her laughter faded away, and the worry on her face came back. Sylus noticed it, placing the weapons on the ground. He opened his arms for her to hug him before he would head inside. Freya looked at him, trying to act all big and strong. “Come on, firebird, we both know you want to hug me goodbye before I head up.” Sylus chimed with a goofy face, trying to get Freya to loosen up. Giggling as she walked closer, giving her brother a h
