Chapter 12: The Five kids and A place to Stay.
"Silver hair and red eyes? Are you talking about me?"
Felix asked as he touched his long hair that fell just above his eyes covering his forehead and widened his eyes hearing that.
The boy with blue hair looked back at one of his friends and shrugged his shoulders.
"Shaya, why don't you give him your mirror for a bit."
The girl named Shaya had brown hair reaching her shoulders and a small cute face. Wearing a green color gown with white lacings, she looked at Felix for some while before she handed him a mini mirror she was keeping in her pocket.
"Here, don't break it. It was a gift given to me by Mother."
Felix curiously held the mirror and looked at his reflection. His silver hair had an ethereal sheen that catches and reflects even the faintest traces of light. With each movement, his hair seems to shift and dance, almost as if it possesses a life of its own.
His pale white skin and cheeks looked a bit thin but the crimson eyes that filled his sockets were like precious rubies set within a bed of snow, his eyes shimmering with an inner fire, capturing the essence of danger and mystery.
As he stared at his new appearance for the first time, Felix couldn't help but want to scream out.
'That's so Fucking Cool!!'
His hand trembled as he glanced at his handsome face reflected in the small mirror.
'If I had this face on Earth, I could have easily become a celebrity or a model. My previous average face was like a thousand times worse than this.'
Still impressed by his beauty, he realized why that huge pervert wanted to assault him.
'No wonder that pedophile couldn't hold himself back after looking at me.'
He had a question but he shook his head and returned the mirror to the girl who was looking blankly at him.
"Thank you. I forgot that I looked like this hehe...."
Felix scratched his head as he laughed it off. But the kids just thought that this guy must have never seen a mirror before.
"By the way, my name is Felix. It's nice to meet you."
Felix gave the blue-haired boy his hand and asked for a handshake.
The boy stared at the hand in front of him before he held it and slowly shook it. He smiled and replied back.
"You can call me Noah, and it's nice to meet you too."
Noah then pointed to his other friends and introduced them,
"The girl that you gave you the mirror is Shaya. And they are Thomas, Kevin, and Betty."
Thomas was a dainty boy with black hair wearing a tight white shirt and brown shorts, and Kevin was the tallest among the kids having short dark brown hair and wearing loose pants with a black top.
"Hello there.", said Thomas in a quiet voice, wearing a pair of glasses from his pocket to take a better look at the silver-haired boy.
Kevin on the other hand just remained silent as he gave a suspicious look to the boy who seemed too out of place.
Betty on the other hand was a shy girl standing behind them all as she seemed scared of Felix. She had long red hair that reached her waist and wore a pink frolic gown and white leggings.
"So Felix, where are you planning on going?"
Noah asked as he stared at the white rag that Felix wore. Meeting his glance, Felix tucked at his only cloth as he replied back.
"Well, I don't have any place to go. In fact, I just arrived at this city and don't know anything about it."
He acted as if he was a traveler who came back from a journey and didn't mention anything else.
Noah nodded as he thought for a moment before his eyes lit up.
"If you don't have a place to live then why don't you stay at our Guild??", he naively asked Felix as he thought staying with him would be fun.
Felix looked surprised when he heard that they came from a Guild, he curiously asked him back.
"Guild? What is a guild, can you tell me more about it? I don't remember many things."
Shaya elbowed Noah as she took the initiative to speak. She folded her arms in front of her flat chest and looked seriously at Felix in the eye as she told him.
"Guilds are like private organizations created by some qualified people where people of different professions come together becoming its members and do tasks and missions from which they are rewarded with money and other commodities."
Noah nodded and added.
"There are a lot of guilds in Edenmont City, but unlike them, our guild is a bit open-minded, and even though we are kids, they accept us as unofficial members for completing simple tasks around the city."
Felix heard Noah say that, as he finally came to know the name of the city to which he had traveled.
'Edenmont City huh....and there is not one but many guilds here.'
He wondered as it seemed a bit different from what he had guessed. Glancing at Noah who looked happy at how their guild treated them, Felix questioned him with a curious tone.
"You said that I can join the guild,...is the requirement not very much?"
Noah coughed embarrassingly when Felix came to know that as the other kids wryly smiled.
"Cough..cough..that you see...Our guild is a bit you know...special as it has some circumstances that led it to become like this."
Felix raised his brows noticing the kids that were looking away while whistling at the sky.
'It doesn't matter, if they can accept me and give me a place to stay then joining their guild does not seem that bad.'
He ignored Noah who was showing him a guilty face and asked Shaya.
"Is it compulsory to do the missions or do we do them whenever we want."
Shaya, a bit taken aback by the question, thought for a moment and nodded.
"The guild does not force us to do anything, it is our own decision when we accept the missions. Sometimes when necessary, they give exclusive missions but they are only for the official members so we don't have to worry about it."
Felix heaved a sigh as he did not want to get forced by them to do impossible missions.
"Well, that's all good then. What is the name of your guild? It must have one, right?"
At the question, Noah hurried forward excitedly raising his hands as he spoke out.
"Me! I will tell you."
Looking at the blue-haired boy jumping about almost screaming. Felix chuckled before agreeing.
"Okay then. Tell me."
Noah took a deep breath with stars in his eyes and blurted out.
"The name of our Guild is...."
