The Restaurant

'The Rising...'

Oliver let out a sigh. He reached into his bag for a moment feeling it was full of coins. "Alright. How about this. You guys did save me earlier so how about I buy us lunch?"

"Yay food!"

"And then after you'll both leave me alone right?" Oliver asked staring at the two weirdos.

"Food!"

"Gods I hope that's a yes..." Oliver sighed as Cath let out a bird like kawing sound. "Thankfully there's a-"

Athena's nose twitched for a moment and she let out a growl her hand going over her black eye patch. "Davi!"

"Is there one here?" Davi asked.

"Yeah. It's coming. Any second now."

"Uh... What are you guys talking about?" Oliver asked frowning. "You're acting like something is about to-"

The ground shook and several civilians that had been walking on the side walk stopped. They all turned and many of the magical cars on the road slowly pulled to a stop. Then suddenly the ground exploded as loud screams rang out. Pulling itself out of the ground was a large brown creature. It looked almost like a giant brown worm but had the head of a shark large razor sharp fanged teeth in its maws. It let out a loud roar a bust of lightning exploding out of it.

"T... That's a... A Dirt Shark!. A Viscount level Oddity Beast!" Oliver said in shock stumbling back. "Why is one of those in a city! These are monsters the Arcane Hunters have to handle-"

There was a fast burst of speed for a moment as something seemed to slam into the head of the beast a large dent smashing into the top of its head. The beast began to crash down and Oliver swore he saw a burst of flame for a moment as the monsters head was blasted off. The body of the creature dropped down landing into the ground now unmoving.

"W... What just..." Oliver said slowly his eyes wide.

"Now that that's over with." Davi said rubbing his hands together. "Let's eat?"

Oliver turned to look at Davi, and Athena, his eyes going wide. Davi's leg was covered in purple blood, the same kind that was oozing out of the monsters head, and smoke was coming off of Athena's hands. The two turned away from him and began walking down the street both talking about their next meal.

Oliver stared at them with large wide eyes.

"...Who... Who the hell are these two?"

***

Some Random Alleyway...

"So..." A low voice muttered. A young man rested on a small stone chair, sitting in a very casual manner. He had long flaming orange hair and bright flame orange eyes. "You failed..." He muttered quietly, though his tone didn't sound to disappointed. He seemed mostly bored of the situation.

This man was named Kaen. A very well known person in the criminal community. Which naturally means He wasn't that good if you were so well known.

From the darkness the 'Not Grimval' walked forward. Lightning covered Not Grimval's body as his skin began to change. He got a lot frailer and his armor changed to robes. He now had messy blonde hair and bright electric blue eyes and a small blonde beard. His red armor became a pair of long black robes.

"Yeah... Sorry Master Kaen." He said sadly. He bowed his head and gritted his teeth. "That damn asshole... He was some kind of super nerd or something. He was able to see through my Lighting Magic Disguise, Perfect Illusion! With only one glance he somehow saw every tiny flaw and pointed it out. I was 99.99% identical. And those other two idiots saved him... Damn them. I would have won for sure? I have no idea how they are even alive still. They should have been reduced to dust in seconds."

"What a shame." The man said letting out a sigh. "Oh well. It is of no loss to us. No one in this Pathetic town had any good magic anyways. Dragon Dwellers would have no use for these lowly fools. We'll just move on to the next one and try again."

"Well... The thing is Sir... There might be someone in this town..."

"What?" He turned to look back at the man as he slowly shrunk down.

"The reason I lost... The nerd who saw through my disguise and beat me. He had Time Magic..."

"What... What!" His eyes lit up as he slowly processed it. "Time Magic... One of the really rare kinds of magic that have been lost to history... Those users should have been extinct. This changes everything. Grab your stuff Pako!"

"My Lord?" The man asked confused.

"We have a wizard to capture. I'm sure Dragon Dwellers will be very, very happy to buy off a powerful Wizard like that!" Kaen announced as flames began to build up around him. "It's time to get to work! This... Should be interesting."

Meanwhile A Random Restaurant...

"W... Wow..." Oliver muttered making a bit of a face. "You two really are hungry aren't you..." He questioned slowly scooting his chair away from the boy and girl who were eating.

Everyone in the restaurant stared at the table Oliver rested at. More specifically, they stared at the mountain of food that was on the table that currently had two teens ripping into it like a pack of hungry, hungry wolves who haven't eaten in months...

Well actually that was false.

Athena was tearing into it.

Davi was...

"I have a very large appetite!" Athena announced grabbing piles of food and shoving them in her mouth. Her mouth seemed to open up like a snake as she dragged it down her throat. It was a pretty disturbing sight, and would leave anyone who saw it with nightmares as it slid down her throat. How was she not choking? Was she even human? She also had a plate for the stuffed red lion, but since it wasn't a living creature it wasn't eating anything and just stared down Cath asserting dominance on the living creature.

It lost.

"And I have a very particular set of tastes, and need to combine food." Davi wasn't really paying to much attention and was slowly making a sandwich out of various piles of food. He painstakingly took one piece at a time and lined it up perfectly. Which wasn't exactly bad, but he was putting weird things that should never go on the sandwich ranging from normal things like chicken, baloney, pickles, but then he also put weirder stuff on it that should never be mixed like ketchup, mustard, peanut butter, hot sauce, and even ice. The thing looked pretty gross but he seemed satisfied with the meal smiling as he slowly dug in using a knife to slowly cut it into even slices.

It was quite odd due to the fact he had shark like teeth. Oliver figured he'd be the brutal one o devour and maw down food.

Oliver's eye twitched as he watched both of them eat. "One gurgle's food down as fast as she can, and the other one thinks he a chief eating a 5-star meal, made out of leftovers..." He muttered. "How did I get stuck with these two weirdos..." He pet Cath in order to calm his nerves. He couldn't stop jumping whenever he saw Davi's teeth. It was like looking into the jaws of a starving beast.

"So?" Davi asked a small frown crossing onto his face. "What's with Cath."

"You want to know about my cat?" Oliver asked slowly looked down at the cat in his arms. He gulped a little as he ran his hand over the cats black fur. "Well... She's been with me most of my life." He sighed. "My Master gave her to me."

"Master..." Davi frowned for a moment. "I had Cath for a short amount of time. She was with me on my island. But it didn't last very long. Me and her set out on a boat and it ended up flipping over. The cat was lost to seas and I couldn't find her... This was around two months ago."

"Oh... Now that I think about it my Master before he left took Cath with him. He left about two months ago with Cath. Then randomly last week she appeared in the hotel I was staying in."

Athena slowly wiped her mouth. "So I guess your master took Cath, and gave him to Davi then Davi went and lost them."

"M... Maybe..." Oliver frowned. "Maybe this was fate!"

"I don't believe in fate." Davi shrugged.

Oliver frowned for a moment. "W... Well... What's your guys goal? Why are you traveling around?"

Davi leaned forward on the table in a casual manner. "Mines a long story. Short and simple answer... I'm looking four these rocks, and my little sister. She's gone missing. My older sister also really likes reading about the world so I've started making maps and drawing of what I see for her."

"And I want to see a Dragon!" Athena announced.

"D... Dragon!" Oliver asked.

"That's right!" She stood up pointing to the roof. "A Dragon! It is my goal to find one and prove they're real!"

"W... Well good luck with that." Oliver said letting out a nervous laughed. "I mean... All the Dragons went extinct in the war with King Arthur four hundred years ago. Him and his Magic Knights hunted them all down during the Great War... Dragons don't exist anymore."

"Don't care. I'll find them and prove one is at least still alive!" Athena announced loudly. "No matter what. I know there is at least... One." She seemed to go silent for a moment as a frown covered her face. Davi reached out patting her shoulder and sitting her down.

"I met Athena on a boat and helped her out so agreed to travel with me while look for both our goals." Davi nodded. "But enough about that. What about you?"

"What?" Oliver aksed.

"You had us telling you about our goals. So what's yours?" Davi asked giving a shark tooth smile.

"O... Oh that." Oliver said slowly. He looked down at the cat in his arms for a moment. "W... Well. You two said you aren't from around here right... Well here in Avalon there are ten... Ten Guilds... The population of Avalon is about 70% normal people and about 30% people like me. People with Arcane Energy. There's plenty of magical items here in Avalon but only a few of us can actually channel magic through our body. For many magic is just a simple tool that makes life a little bit easier. But for people like Nobles, or the lucky commoners born with enough magic there's more... The ten Guilds. Joining a Guild makes you an Arcane Hunter, a warrior for the Kingdom. They go on Quests, fight monsters, save the day, and explore the many, many dungeons! They make lots of Gold but it's hard to get in... They don't just let anyone in... Every year in Oleander they host a day where people can come out and take the Arcane Hunter entrance exam. Those who pass will get in! B... But it's hard... Each Guild is only allowed to select three Recruits and there's ten in total. Usually they get a few hundred people who will try out but only 30 will get in..."

"Neat," Davi said resting his head on the table.

"You could have a better reaction than neat!"

"Out of curiosity... Which Guild do you want to join?" Athena asked.

"W... Well there's a lot of Guilds." Oliver said tapping his fingers together for a moment. "A... And I'd love to get onto any guild really so I'm not to picky but... Shining Sentinels, Umbra Mortis, Mourning Stars... Those are the three top Guilds all tied and are leading the Kingdom since Avalon's King is in a comma so I'd really love to be in one of them... B... But they're going to be hard to get in. Only Nobles can get into them. Red Faith, Dawns Light, Silver Ravens, those ones are a little easier to get in for commoners. So I'm hoping for one of them... The others are fine to... The only Guild I don't want is... Phoenix Flight..."

"Phoenix Flight?" Davi asked.

"Y... Yeah." Oliver gave a scowl. "They're the bad apples of the Guilds. No one knows why the King let them stick around. Those guys are all bad. That Guild is filled with scum and is ranked the lowest. Rumor is the Master of that Guild is a demon. People with dark magic are in it... Even criminals. It's also the only Guild that lets non humans in."

"I see." Davi nodded.

"So you want to be an Arcane Hunter?" Athena asked.

"Y... Yeah. I want to be the next person to draw the sword of selections."

"Sword of selections?" Athena asked.

"You haven't heard? Wow you two really are out of the loop huh." Oliver smirked. "In Camelot there is a powerful Godlike blade known as Excalibur. The strongest magical weapon in all of existence. Those who draw the blade are allowed to join the title of Pendragon. Only Arcane Hunters can even attempt to draw it. It's always been my dream to join a Guild and draw that blade to show the world that Guild is strong! But I'm just so weak..."

"I'm sure you're not as weak as you think?" Davi hummed. "You might not ever reach the point of drawing a blade as strong as Excalibur but..." Davi gave a small smirk showing his shark fangs as he reached up for his Guitar. "As long as you keep marching forward you can say you at least tried."

"Maybe..." Oliver let out a sigh slumping down. "Who knows though. I might not ever be good at magic... Whatever the case." Oliver stood up placing several golden coins down on the table. "I'll be heading out now."

"Sounds good to us!" Davi and Athena, walked with Oliver towards the exit of the building. They waved him off as they all went towards different ways. Davi, and Athena watched Oliver walk down the path for a few seconds.

"Hey, Davi..." Athena said slowly... "Why didn't you tell him that we ae also gonna try and-"

"I didn't feel like it," Davi said turning away. "I didn't think I should have bugged him with it."
