It had been three weeks since Hadrian and Blaise saved Wendy from the slavers.

Both Wendy and Hadrian had been surprised when they told the other that they were Dragon Slayers. They both thought that the disappearance of the their parents at the same time had something to do with one another. They had already passed through three more towns, with no luck of finding their parents.

"I don't think we're going to find them any time soon." Said Blaise to the depressed Hadrian and Wendy.

"Well, we might not find them soon, but we'll find them eventually." Wendy said trying to raise both Hadrian's and her own spirits..

"Yeah. We'll find them eventually, and we should act on any information that we find, but we should have another goal now." Hadrian admitted, sad that they wouldn't find the dragons for the mean time.

"I wonder where they could be. They're dragons! We shouldn't be having so much trouble finding them in the first place!" Wendy pouted as she whined.

Hadrian nodded. "I know. We've been travelling for a month by ourselves and almost a month together now. How have we not found them yet?"

Blaise looked at Hadrian and Wendy. "They might not be here. Haven't you two heard of the idea that there could be other worlds? I mean if you ask Celestial Wizards then they'll tell you that there is a whole other world that's dedicated just to Celestial Spirits and that they live there until called upon and once their duty is completed they go back there until called upon once again."

Wendy stared back at Blaise with wide eyes. "Really? I didn't know that they might not even be here…" Wendy started tearing up.

Hadrian glared at Blaise and she looked back at him sheepishly. He moved over to Wendy and wrapped his arms around her. He started rubbing her back with his hand. "It's alright Wendy. I'm sure that we'll find them eventually, even if it's a long time from now."

^!o!^

Wendy, Blaise, and Hadrian had travelled for another week before Blaise thought of a goal that would be both achievable and would occupy them for a long time.

Blaise looked at Wendy and Hadrian. "Do you guys want to join a guild?"

"'Join a guild?'" Hadrian repeated in surprise.

"What do you mean? We haven't ever talked about joining a guild." Wendy responded.

Blaise sighed. She knew it was going to be difficult to convince them, but she knew that she could make them find reason. "I know. But just think about all the adventures we could go on! We could make a team and go on jobs, and then we'd actually earn money and buy things. We wouldn't need Hadrian to hunt wild animals and go fishing. We could live somewhere without having to make camp every night."

"Wow Blaise. I didn't know that you could even say something smart before now. That was a really long explanation." Hadrian responded teasingly after thinking about what she had said.

Wendy giggled. "If you think about it that way then it doesn't sound that bad."

"I could do without all that fishing and hunting. We also wouldn't need to eat anymore of your smoked food." Hadrian agreed.

"I don't smoke it! It's called barbecue!" Blaise responded petulantly at the 11 year old.

Hadrian raised an eyebrow at her and she spluttered. "Well I suppose you'd rather eat it raw, would you? You uncultured fish eater!" Blaise seemed satisfied with her response.

He narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you calling the delicacy of raw fish uncultured? It's…"

Wendy sighed at the two people that she considered family. She followed them as they bickered all the way to the local town in silence while wondering: How can people be such good friends yet argue all the time?

^!o!^

Blaise looked at the guild. It wasn't very grand, but was said to be one of the stronger ones in the country of Fiore.

It looked more like a place that could be called home, rather than a guildhall.

It was a larger than small building for a guildhall, but with magic someone easily could've increased the size of the room inside.

Hadrian looked at the ethernano and how it interacted with the building. The building was so saturated with ethernano, that it seemed like the wood itself was made out of magic.

It could be, Hadrian reminded himself. When he was travelling before he met Blaise he had met a mage who had his power based off of plants. He was an interesting fellow. The man used leaves and branches on the floor to attack him, but they would get really sharp like knives. He still had the scar on his arm from when one of the leaves hit him.

"It feels… inviting." Wendy said.

Blaise nodded. "Yeah. I feel that way too. It gives off a feeling of 'home'."

Hadrian walked up to the building and opened the door.

The feeling of 'home' wasn't any different from the outside than the inside.

There was a bar against one of the walls with a few people there, and there were many couches and sofas where everyone could relax. There was a dining hall off to the side where everyone could eat.

One of the waitresses serving food looked up at them and saw them. She smiled brightly and walked up to them.

"Hello! How can Endless Light help you today?"

"We'd like to join the guild." Blaise responded.

The waitress eyes brightened. "Really!? That's great! We haven't had any new recruits in a while now!" She said excitedly. "Let me just go fetch our guildmaster and then we'll see if he lets you in."

"That sounds reasonable." Hadrian said.

^!o!^

"So these are the little kiddies that wanted to join my guild?" The guildmaster of Endless Light walked down the stairs from the second floor and eyed the children across from him.

The man was average height, and Hadrian was sure that he would have missed him in a crowd if he didn't know of him before. He didn't seem very old either. He was probably in his mid to late 30's. He had brown hair, and blue eyes. He was cleanly shaven. He was wearing a suit and it seemed as if it had been worn before.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Wendy said while bowing to the man before her.

"Indeed it is…" The guildmaster trailed off.

"Wendy! Wendy Marvell."

The man raised an eyebrow at her enthusiasm. "She's excited. We haven't ever been in a guild before so this is a new experience. My name's Blaise Lianna. It's a pleasure to meet you." Blaise bowed, but not as low as her younger friend had before.

Their was silence in the room as Hadrian stared at the man.

Hadrian stared for another moment before nodding and stating, "You aren't the guildmaster."

The room exploded in cheers right after Hadrian stated that. Many people were shouting things like: "Yes! Finally!", "Congratulations kid! Welcome to the guild guys!" and "It's been 7 months since someone last figured it out."

Wendy and Blaise stood next to Hadrian in awe.

The man who had been posing as the guild master walked up to Hadrian. "How'd ya know I wasn't the guildmaster kid?"

"Your clothes were one thing. You are wearing impeccable clothing, I doubt that you appreciate anyone wearing things less than what you are right now. I'd assume you'd at least stop the seven people in the back from fighting, you'd already know that about six people are trying to listen in on our conversation, and that you don't have the guildmark anywhere visible. The guildmaster is said to have his mark above his right eyebrow. You also don't seem to be very in tune with your magic. Guild Masters are always some of the strongest mages and wizards so you need to be very in tune with your magic," Hadrian explained to the man and the eavesdroppers, "You also smell off."

"Smell off. What do you mean by that?"

"I'm a Dragon Slayer. My senses are increased. And I don't really know. You just sort of smell funny."

A lot of people looked at Hadrian like he was a genius. Which he was, but now wasn't the time to get into that.

"Why is everyone cheering? I mean, it wasn't that hard to figure all of that out."

One person who had been previously cheering walked up to Wendy, Blaise and Hadrian.

"I don't know what you're talking about. It's been 7 months since someone last figured it out, and 382 people have tried it and failed the entrance exam to the guild. We might be a small guild with only 17 members, but we pride ourselves on the power each member of our guild has. When we work together as a team, it's almost impossible to stop us!"

"That's right, Slen." Everyone heard a woman's voice speak.

"Aaron, the man who we have act as guildmaster is a werewolf. That's why he smells funny, Hadrian Ahri." Blaise tensed after hearing the female voice say that. "We have also given out little information about our real guildmaster and instead give out a lot of info that is fake, so that we know who is really worthy of joining our guild. As Slen said, we are a very small guild. We are the smallest guild in Fiore, in fact. 17 people, soon to be 20 makes us the smallest guild. As Slen also said, we don't care about our numbers. It's like my dad always used to say, 'Quality over quantity, Caitlyn'."

The woman who identified herself as Caitlyn was on the second floor, which looked over the first one. She was observing all of her fellow guildmates and after a moment of silence she descended the stairs.

Caitlyn was very pretty. She had long white hair that was in a ponytail and electric blue eyes. She was a little shorter than average but that didn't take anything away from her. She had a well proportioned body that suited her very well and wore a white dress with green leaves on it.

"She's so cute!" Was one of the key mottoes with the eight males of the guild.

"She's so adorable!" Was one of the key mottoes with the nine females of the guild.

Caitlyn walked up to Wendy, Blaise and Hadrian and gave them a shining smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Caitlyn Relantro. I'm the guildmaster of Endless Light and I hope that you eventually become comfortable enough to call this place home!"
