Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lottie was wandering the streets of her city, Neutral City. She was wasting some time since her Uncle didn't require her any more today. Times like this made her think about life back with her parents, both her fathers. she hasn't seen them in quite a while, but it didn't bother her too much, she knew she would see them soon. Meanwhile, the weather was shining bright and the city has never looked so alive, even though it may be chilly it was still strangely mild. A rarity, however... she was sure the day wouldn't last long because the nights recently have been getting unusually long and early.

"ah blast!" she heard from her side, gazing around she saw a woman who seemed an elf, but diverting her attention she saw the city guardsman general, you could say he worked for the city leader. Trying to get through the mass of people she tried to get closer. He seemed to be putting up a notice before he turned around and straightened his collar. "ahem" he began. The crowd around them soon seemed to gather as he had something important to say by the looks of things.

"If i could have you're attention please" he stated, Lottie taking a step back to merge with the crowd, she hated them, she always felt to short. As she looked over her shoulders she recognised that elf girl again, she didn't look like someone from Neutral City. "It may have come to your recognition that our city is in need of an eradicator. Whilst we are fewer in number than the other cities, we require a daring man or woman to tend to the problem just outside our walls. If you want anymore information, come and speak to me!" he then muttered "not that anyone will, this city is filled with criers...".

Looking up the to elf for one second she wanted to see if she was going to do anything, then Lottie spoke up to the guardsman. "What's the problem?" she asked. He then replied, however, "Aren't you alittle young to be dealing with something like this?"

"I'm not too young to be exceeding standards at Hope" she retorted.

Lottie took a quick glance up and the female now next to her, she seemed friendly at first, but she also seemed like a lady that was quick to the point and didn't let any kind of nuisance get by her. Her gaze was short lived as she didn't want to appear she were staring at the female for too long. The Guardsman meanwhile narrowed his eyes for a second in irritation to the archer. "hm" he began. Placing the back of his fingers against the notice he pointed it out to them. "The forest to the west of the city seems to be giving birth to strange creatures recently, taking livestock and interfering with traders and travelers. Problem is, we don't know who or what it is, and why its happening. Last we checked the forest was just like the rest, vacant." he took away his hand and straightened his posture before adding "If you want to get your sweet selves into this business, i suggest catching the culprit in action - at night. 100 Octen for solving the problem, not each, but split between the two of you... you seem the only willing ones around here". He sounded so uninterested the entire time, before they could even get a word in he just seemed to begin walking away and saying "Good luck" almost sarcastically.

Lottie wrinkled her nose up at his as he began to walk away, he was rude and acted like he should be doing it himself but couldn't be bothered. Crossing her arms and turning away from the walking man she muttered "incompetent no-good.". She was brought up to be fair and kind, not prejudiced and ignorant.

Once the soldier had vanished, it was just Lottie and the elf. In the angst of her own thoughts she heard the elf seemingly speak to her. Slowly she looked over her shoulder and caught eye contact, and then she turned to face the female. "well" she began. "I've nothing else to do... and it will be good experience to get me into Ravencrest, now that its available again" she spoke not with too much expression since neither did the elf. Lottie did however seem almost confident about taking this on, no matter her age. She spoke of Ravencrest though, and that's prestigious. Ravencrest Academy was where people that graduate become Casters, elites among fighters, defenders and the lot, and with the borders no open to the Land of Crows, Lottie has a new prospective. She has always wanted to become a Caster.

Then raising a brow, she looked up to the elf and said "Aren't you?"

She seemed to catch the elf's attention, but she seemed to be a little list prestigious like Lottie was. Lottie was confident she'd get there, well, she hoped she was. She was confident in her self to get things done, but didn't like to flaunt it.

Raising a suspicious brow at the elf when she commented about Lottie sticking around. She then retorted with a young feminine reaction and remarked "I won't be giving up if that's what you're trying to say" she then took this moment to show herself off when she rummaged to her back as she pulled out a rod. "I already got rid of the giant bat infestation in the old clock tower" she admitted, spinning the rod about as it extended and at one end the sides flung out about 30 degrees (angle) revealing the giant arrowhead-like blade. Her fighting style was a Glaive, her very important, self designed and constructed Glaive named 13th Edge, or Edge XIII. As she finished her little show-off, the blade hit the ground at her side as the glaives equally long handle rested behind her, she then looked at the Elf and gave an almost short and proud smile. "It's called 13th Edge".
