*knock knock*
A face appears as the door creaks open. The man carefully peers around, apprehension in his face. He looked sheepish, and almost embarrassed, like a child coming home after he had ran away.
"Hello? Anybody here?" He asked into the dark void. Cob webs and dust were all that greeted him. He took further steps into the halls and looked around. He glanced at portraits of the members of this once great guild. Friends who no longer knew where each other were. The man's expression was pained and apologetic. He was in part to blame. He traced his hands over the shelves that held records of their adventures together. The dust coated books were plain looking, not at all befitting of the epic adventures recorded within. He longingly pulled out a volume and ran his hand over the cover. Nostalgia and regret brimmed his eyes. "I miss you guys..."

The sudden shift in the air of the old guild hall, creaked with silent foot steps. Several thrones laid empty, in the center of the hall. Though off to the side slumped into a heap, laid a man, a man forgotten to the passage of item, like an old toy used beyond repair and thrown to the side. His eyes shifted slightly towards the near silent foot steps of a visitor. While others had come, none stayed for too long, all had moved on with their lives including the man, which if not for a happening desire to relive the past, he wouldn't have ventured into the old hall.
His hands laid on the open page of a book, half-way through a paragraph of spirited writing. A story like so many others that had been brought to life and than laid to rest. A smile crept across his face as he heard the new arrival speak and he closed the book gently and laid it in front of him.
"It's funny how we always find our way back here." He said with a chuckle as he stood to face the second man.

The man smiled. "So the place isn't completely dead after all? Although, you look like you might be a ghost." He chuckled. His jet black hair were no longer trailing down the side of his face, and were cropped short out of view in his hat. He was taller, but not anymore bigger. His once clean robes were tattered slightly, but otherwise still looked serviceable. His bronze staff was still faithfully at his staff.
"Hello old friend." Bandi smiled and extended a hand to shake.

Hokyo chuckled as he looked down at his own worn clothes, his weapons had been hung up in the treasure room of the hall, since he had has not been in battle for nearly ten years. "It's hard to find clothes in my size anymore." He chuckled as he patted his stomach which was shown to be well feed.
He extended his hand and grabbed a hold of Bandi's with a firm grip and shook it with a large smile. "It's been too long friend, what have you been doing?"

Though the sound of the door opening was silenced by some unknown force, heels clicked boldly on dust covered tiles. How many times had she walked these halls in silent contemplation? Echoes of lost treasures and forgotten tales, left behind by those who once had cherished it. Changed, but not like the others as she'd never put down the sword. She'd simply moved on while keeping an eye on the faded legend. A spark of excitement reached her eyes as she saw the boys but she refused to show it by pushing her shaded spectacles up the bridge of her nose. “What brings you guys here?”

Hokyo heard the familiar voice and turned his attention to the woman, he glanced slightly upwards, her wearing heels made herself taller then him. He smiled as he let go of Bandi's hand and waved slightly at her like a child seeing a long distance relative. "YUNA!" He shouted with a smile.
Though his expression changed to a serious one as he glanced around in thought for a moment, the guild hall was not bright and shinning in olden days, just the large windows were allowing light in. He placed his hand on his chin and looked back at Yuna, his eyes focusing on her face. "You know those shade must make it hard to see in here." He said with a smirk across his face.
It had been years since he had last seen either of them, but he felt himself slip a bit into depression, he hadn't been the best leader back then. He had tried to keep it together but things fell apart and he truly felt bad about the outcome. Though he remained to keep a smirk on his face, he couldn't allow his own short comings affect his reunion with the others.

Yunari shrugged her shoulders and glanced around “Don't need to see it. I've walked these halls enough to know every nook and cranny.” She'd stopped cleaning, which had caused most of the gathered dust but she still visited from time to time to make sure everything was where it was suppose to be. She looked between her friends, walked over to one of the many shelves and lightly tapped on the binding of an old book. “you guys just visiting or you gonna stick around for a bit?” she questioned as he turned to look at them. She crossed her arms and leaned back against the shelf. She didn't want to get her hopes up if they were just going to be passing through. Of course she was happy to see them none the less but she wanted to know what to expect.

Hokyo glanced between Yuna and Bandi, he had thought about that question the whole time that he had traveled back to the guild. His eyes glanced around the room, his thoughts racing, he couldn't help but smile a bit. He walked over to one of the throne in the middle of the hall, and his hand brushed the seat, rubbing the dust off it. He had sat here many times before telling tales of old and new alike. His eyes glanced back towards his friends, he had decided something, something that he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face as his right hand raised to point towards the both of them. He was older, he felt a bit more confident in himself.
His finger turned and pressed against his thumb and index finger and it made a unearthly snap as he flicked them together. The hall seemed to take a deep breath, its candles flickered into life and suddenly it felt alive again. Hokyo took a seat in the throne, crossing his legs he rested his elbow on the arm of the chair and rested his head against the an open palm. The smile fading from his lips in the first time since he had seen his old friends.
"I still have a story or several hundred in me." He said his eyes starring at the both of them with a fierce passion. One that he had let smolder and burn for years. "What about the two of you?"

Bandi couldn't suppress a smile. This was the company that had shaped his youth. The tough days in which clouds hung over low with uncertainty in the horizon. But in these halls, they always had a warm bright hearth glowing. It was why his mind would always wander back once in a while.
"Unfortunately, some of my new responsibilities have me tied. I won't be able to visit as frequently as before, but I can come by on a daily basis for sure." He offered. He was trying to be realistic, but who was he kidding. Once the gates were open, the three of them would be spending many hours chatting and laughing. It was what they did.
"But yes, I have tales to tell."

Yunari released a soft chuckle and slowly walked across the hall. She removed her jacket, folded it over her arm and took a seat. “ I've had many adventures while you were gone. But I always have time for you guys.” Her eyes drifted between the two s she thought over what they had said. She couldn't expect to take all their time so their responses were as expected. Fire danced behind her shades as she thought of the stories they use to spin. There were many possibilities and it would be hard to settle with one. “I've got lots of time but I'm also in no rush. To be honest, I haven't checked back here in a long time.” Yune shifted in her seat before allowing a small smile to rest on her lips. “I'm up for a little fun but this time around I might surprise you”

Bandi smiled and dragged the nearest chair over to the hearth. All that remained were grey powdered ash. But he was never one who needed kindling. He pointed the bottom end of his staff at the hearth and spoke softly. "Fuego." A small puff of flames shot into the pile of ash and came to life. He went ahead and sat upon the chair and rubbed his hands. His flame reflected in his eyes mischievously. "So, anyone want to start us off?"

Hokyo's eyes glanced between the two of them,it had been a long time since he sat in this chair. Though he felt its comfort, worn to his own personal touches, even where he had craved his name into the arm rest still remained. He glanced towards the wall behind him, a list of people formed against the wall, he didn't have the powers to control the guild like the old days, but that didn't bother him anymore.
"I want to see Yuna's surprise, confidence can be your down fall." He said passing a glancing towards Yuna with a smirk. The fire that Bandi started was warm and already brought more life back to the guild.

“If you wanted power, all you had to do was ask” Yunari chuckled softly to herself and snapped her fingers. “ I bequeath you master once more.” The blond kicked off her shoes and stood once more so that she could feel the cool tile beneath her feet. “And if it's a story you want, I think I have the perfect thing for this specific group of people. It will just take me a moment or two to set things up. I prey you have patience.” She let her jacket rest on her chair as she moved closer to the fire her friend had made. “I've always wondered, who's fire would win?” A quiet challenge to her friend but a playful one none the less. “I'm going to bring Ray for this trip if you boys don't mind. I don't feel complete without her. “ She straightened her posture, turned and began to walk down the hall. She'd have to get a new book out for their new story.

With the snap of Yuna's fingers, Hokyo felt himself lifted off his chair as it changed it shape. He stood in front of it as it molded into this golden angel winged throne, he starred at it for a few moments before he snapped his fingers and it molded itself back into the plain chair as before. "I had terrible taste when I was younger that would never support my back." He chuckled as he took his seat again and watched Yuna walked across the floor bare foot across the floor, dusting being pushed away from her swift movement.
He sighed slight as he flicked his finger and a swift wind picked itself up in the guild hall and pushed the dust from every corner and across each book, straight out the front door. "I wish cleaning was always this easy." He said with a smug look. Though his thoughts went back to the tale that Yuna had told him and his mind raced with each character of his past but he couldn't find the right one for this tale and a smile spread across his face. "Ray is always welcome, but I believe I will try something new." He said as he laid his hands on his lap and closed his eyes in thought.
