Shades of emerald swamped this entire area, overgrown plants that have reclaimed this area as there own. Collapsed buildings stay somewhat held up by the ever growing vines, and trees sprout from the fallen remains of ancient ruins. It's truly a beautiful place to see nature at its strongest here, simply returning balance to the world. 

'Is that why my brother chose to die here?'

Sovereign pondered on the thought, thinking of how William almost knew he'd lose the battle. It angered him, wondering if his older brother even tried to put up a fight or if he simply dragged out the inevitable. All Sovereign wanted was some answers, to ask a few questions about his brother's final hour before the leader of Cait Shelter took his life. They owed him that much, but still, he couldn't be angry at Koji. He couldn't be infuriated by William's death.

But yet, he was.

Koji Nyctores

Sovereign had made his way down to the ground of the Basalt region, down from the floating town above that was chained down to the earth to prevent them from floating off. It had been a while since he had done a mission, and honestly wasn't looking forward to it. His guild didn't get many requests now, since everyone thinks Quatro Cerberus only take on missions involving murder and thievery, and the mission he was currently on was also not given to them. Instead, Sovereign found out about it himself, and saw the request posted in a more general area for wandering wizards separate from his guild. It saddened him, truly, but he knew that if he wanted the people's trust back then he would need to work for it. 

People knew of the change in power within the guild, the death of William Pale and the guilds new successor, but few knew that it was Sovereign who took the position as the new guild master. People knew the name, but not the face. And nobody would have suspected a young man as innocent as he to be the leader of such a terrible group of maniacs. 

But if he solved this mission, and made it known it was done by his guild, hopefully that would be the beginning of a new era. To wear a mask of joy and hope once more yet still let his members unleash their fury on what they please. 

"Ah~" He smirked, tapping the hilt of his weapon before stepping out into the endless expanse of stone and earth. Jagged spires of rock tore out from the ground, chunks floating above the ground like helium balloons. Tee gravity in this area was low, and allowed Sovereign to almost glide with his steps. There was also a strange hum that came from the ground below him, perhaps due to the strange alteration in gravity and magic in this area. 

"So the first sightings of these lights come from the east, from the mountains. I say we begin heading there now and we'll probably come across it soon, it's already getting dark." Sovereign spoke to his partner for this mission, and then began to swiftly leap across the earth towards their destination.

Shaking hands with the man, Sovereign now liked to think of the two as newly made acquaintances. Whether they met again after this or not, Sovereign did love meeting all kinds of new people, especially those that weren't criminals. It was ever so tiring being surrounded by people who only wanted to punch things all the time, so it was a refreshing change of pace to get out of the walled city and into the countryside. The other's confusion to the mentioning of undead would only suggest that he wasn't here for that matter, so perhaps he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, that's if there really was anything here that posed a threat in the first place. Perhaps it was destiny that the two would meet...

"That is an interesting name, I think I will just have to stick with Shield Guy." Joked Sovereign, placing his hands by his side again and resting it on the hilt of his mace. "I'd hate to mispronounce such a lovely name."

Glancing at the shield, he looked at the simple yet unique design of it, a flawless silvery metal with a stunning green gem in the centre of it. Truly a remarkable piece of craftsmanship to whomever created it. "Difficult? Perhaps. I suppose it would depend on who's using it." He jested, feeling a little sad now that his clones weren't with him. "Well, I guess getting in the way of things is much easier than managing a bunch of your other selves. But I'd prefer to just not get hit entirely."

Scratching the back of his head, Sov would hum for a moment as he inspected the man. "Why are you here, if you don't mind me asking? Are you not aware of the invasion of mutant corpses from Scoria?"

Welcome to Quatro Cerberus 

If you're new to the guild and want a quick interaction with other members or the guild master, feel free to post here. This can be one big thread so it’s easy to just make yourself known and get immersed quickly with other members.

Light seeps through the cracks in the walls and refracts through the stained glass windows, the church building which has housed Quatro Cerberus for a few years now truly reflects the kind of people that it houses: Dark, rotting, with little light illuminating the area. The guild has many members, but only a few are within the building at a time, using it as a retreat when they need a place to hide.

But with the recent death of the previous guild master, William Pale, room for a new master has risen up. His younger brother, Sovereign Pale has taken the mantle as leader of the hellhounds and wishes to ‘correct’ the people of this guild. Some question his power and motives, as he had always been the more cheerier soul amidst the murderers and thieves, so why would he think he could lead them?

It was simple, he would simply show them.

Footsteps echoed as he made his way down the steps from the balcony, his finger running across the banister. He glanced over at the clusters of his gathered members, watching him with suspicious eyes as they shuffled uncomfortably. Sovereign grinned, a wicked smile that looked only the more sinister since the rest of his face was covered by a bronze mask.

There were whispers amongst the people below, nervous and mocking remarks.

“He’s just a kid.”

“The pup doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

“There’s no place for us in this guild with him leading us.”

Sovereign tilted his head down, smiling even more. For although he was the other side of the church, he heard every word. Or rather, the other ones did.

Figures stepped out from the shadows, revealing themselves from all over the church. It was Sovereign, or rather, his duplicates. They’d lean in to the various groups, and in perfect unison their voice would boom in a whisper.

“I heard that.”

Like a mirror image moving at the same time, they’d each reach out and grab whoever spoke, ramming their heads hard onto a table or wall, or any other nearby solid object. It was quick and strong, surprising everyone in the room. Members cursed and retaliated, only to find they had vanished once more.

Up on the stairs, Sovereign giggled like a child, his voice innocent and smooth, “Now, now, you don’t want to talk bad about me already do you? At least give me a chance.” He took a few more steps down, tapping his chin and leaning strangely over the banister.

“I’m your new guild master. End of. Unlike my brother, my mind is still intact, and I am fully aware of all your true intentions of joining this guild. Murder, robbery, harassment, vandalism, just a few things off the list of reasons why you sit in this building now.” Sovereign maintained his smile, and started waving his finger around at everyone. “His death hurt us, me most of all. But just because we lost to a cat doesn’t mean we back away. If you wish to carry on doing what you do, then be bloody discreet about it. I will keep my eyes on all of you, and bring some kind of order to the mess this guild has become.”

Sovereign spoke the truth, and although he kept it discreet of what he was trying to say, he hoped they had some kind of understanding of what he truly meant. He didn’t want to take away what was given to these people, he didn’t want to abolish the reason most were here in the first place. But at the same time, he doesn’t want to be the bad guy, he wants to be the one who’s trying to restore balance in this community. If he could show the other guilds and factions that Quatro Cerberus was just as good as everyone else, yet still wreak havoc in the shadows without them knowing, then that was enough for him.

These people were ruthless and powerful, all they lacked was a smart mind and control to help them better their strengths and focus on the important matters. Petty crimes were beneath these people, and it would be Sovereign to help them reach much bigger goals.


TAG: OPEN TO QC MEMBERS ONLY

"What do you think?" Sovereign spoke, bending down by a beaten pathway that lead to the village. He pressed his fingers against the soil, rubbing it between his fingers as it stained his gloves a murky red colour.

"Definitely blood." Replied another Sovereign, clone or not, they all shared the same mind. It was silly of him to ask such questions when they all knew the answer, but sometimes it was just nice to have someone to talk to.

A third copy of him sighed, a mace rested on his shoulder as he looked around, "Do you think they've scouted the area already? And are returning soon? Honestly I just wanted to hit something in the face."

The first sighed as well, shaking his head and standing up as he wiped the mud and blood into a handkerchief. "I wouldn't think they'd have the mental capacity to know to scout an area before attacking. It might just be from a wounded animal, merely a coincidence." He paused, turning away from the village and towards the direction Scoria is in, "Still, the warnings say this army of undead is heading out in all directions, save for the north."

The three Sovereigns stood side by side, looking out over the expanse of farmland that reached out all sides of this humble settlement. There were no fighters here, only people living their day to day lives and seemingly being rather content with what the world had to offer them. But because of this, it meant they were at great risk of attacks, hence why Sovereign came here. There were some other wizards dotted about, but most of the defenses had gone to towns closer to the source of the threat, or the source itself.

This village was close to the guild's base, hence why Sovereign came here first. Nobody really recognised him, and none would know of him being the new guildmaster. He decided to leave his members at the base itself to protect it, since those hooligans would have only caused more fear lurking around this quaint village than help.

A while had passed, and there still was no sign of danger. And people were beginning to grow tired of waiting, or simply leaving all together believing there to be no such threat.

"I'm bored."

"Me too."

"Shut up and just keep watch."
