Meeting The Founders

Before speaking my mind, the Headmaster's voice boomed across the area. I instantly clamped my mouth shut and felt chills down my spine.

"Good afternoon. I presume that you are the lady who fought with Bryan and survived against Z's spells. And the person who Mavislin has nominated to join the Arks. My name is Gillian Meslander, and I am the Headmaster of the Arks. A pleasure to meet you," said Gillian, smiling at me.

I had the shock of my life when the circle rotated to the next person, which was Z. It looks like I'll be greeted by every one of them individually. Well, a shock of my life.

"My name is Z, and I am the Grand Admiral of the fleet of the Arks. I command the Blizzard Faction, the Arks' water defense. Anything water-related and training, come to me. To clear things up, I am mostly an Ice Mage as well. It's so nice to greet you properly, Lady Elizabeth," said Z, bowing down.

The circles moved once more, and now I was facing the Mage emitting the Darkness Element everywhere. I could help but swallow a giant ball of saliva when confronting him. But the guy looked quite alright, not as handsome as the Headmaster, but I'm sure he got some girls' hearts.

He had quite the bouncy fringe, sitting nicely on top of his head. His hair was golden brown, while his eyes were black. His skin was slightly tanned but not so much compared to Z. The Mage wore medieval armor armed with a large silver sword before stamping his foot to break the armor.

The armor shattered into shards of dark purple like glass before dissipating into the atmosphere. Underneath the armor, the Head Knight was wearing the same as Gillian. A white shirt with suspenders tied to black pants and a long coat complete the look.

The only difference was that Gillian had a dark blue coat while this guy had a black one. I was snapped back into attention as the Head Knight made himself known by clearing his throat.

"Greetings, child. My name is Baldwin Noble, and I am the Grand Master of the Arks. I command the Knights of Dawn, the land defense of the Arks. You may approach me if you have any questions about shields and swordsmanship. Nice to meet you," greeted Baldwin, giving me a salute.

I saluted Sir Noble back, and he broke out into a smile. Seeing the guy showing an expression other than upset was the knife to cut the tension between the two of us. I was scared of the Head Knight since his Aura seemed so much like the Grim Reaper's Aura.

"Loosen up a bit, young child. I may be called the Dark Mage and Angry Man of the Arks but rest assured, I am willing to give a chance to the newcomers. After all, if I scare the new ones away, there won't be any left to train to the higher ranks," explained Baldwin with a smirk.

The circle moved, and I was standing in the presence of the High Queen.

"Hello, young one. My name is Ysabeau Meslander, and I am the High Queen, the second-in-command of the Arks. I command the air force for this organization. So you can come to me if the person before me is giving you a hard time or you wanna take to the skies," smiled Ysabeau.

I smiled back and giggled when the High Queen gave me that last sentence. I nodded vehemently before the circle turned to the next person. The Mage that had been glaring daggers at me since the dawn of time.

"Yo, nice to meet you when we aren't at each other's throats. My name's Raiyen Phoenix E Harmony, and I'm known as the Prince amongst the newcomers. Please do not ask why I have that title. Just roll with it. I command the Vigilante of the Arks, something like an Intelligence Taskforce."

Raiyen sounded toxic in the first half, but the second half seemed alright. So I shrugged and nodded in acknowledgment. And finally, I am greeting my boss for this new job—the Valkyrie of the Arks and the sweet little girl that likes to chase butterflies.

"This would be the second time I would be greeting you, but I'm still glad to the honors. My name is Mavislin Susanna Roydon, and I am in charge of the Attacking Ace of the Arks. Anything regarding offensive measures, you can look for me. I command the Barren Pillars."

"Which is the specific department that you would be joining. You've been given the position of the First Seat Swordsman Pillar. I am delighted for you to join the ranks. Oh, and my title amongst the Founders and the newcomers is 'Empress,'" greeted Mavislin, doing a courtesy.
