[Center][h3][color=deepskyblue]Kyuuten Rallis[/color][/h3][/center]
For some this feud wasn't enough to keep them away from a good time. Including the ever joyful beaming ball of sunshine known as Kyuuten Rallis. [Color=deepskyblue]"Watch your head~!"[/color] Winding back the snowy haired Harpy wizard threw the ball and knocked down one of the targets in the stand. A few feet away stood a girl who looked the part of the general image of a wizard, pointed hat included. While staying out of the way of the crowd she seemed engrossed in the magical text being projected in front of her. Suddenly, a small teddy bear penetrated the floating pages. [Color=deepskyblue]"He's cute, right~?"[/color] Kyuuten gave her his usual cheery smile. [Color=fuchsia]"I wish you wouldn't do that while I'm reading. But...yes he is very cute."[/color] She said taking the bear in her hands. [color=fuchsia]"How'd you win it?"[/color] Kyuuten pointed over his shoulder the game stand he was just at. [Color=deepskyblue]"Hehe, I knocked over Mozu~"[/color] Looking over his shoulder, Pyrrha could see the stand runner resetting the cardboard cutout of their guildmate alongside others. [Color=fuchsia]"You know, this only proves my point that we shouldn't attend Golem's anniversary festival..."[/color] She sighed.

Kyuuten Rallis, a member of Harpy's Wing and the guild's resident Celestial wizard. Pyrrha was his closest friend and first Celestial spirit he ever contracted with. She liked to hang around the using her own magic power so the two were often together. [Color=deepskyblue]"It's fine, the festival has nothing to do with us. Golem is celebrating the day they were formed not our little skirmishes."[/color] The two walked around the festival, Kyuuten clearly unbothered by Pyrrha's concern as he sauntered on relaxed and with his hands on the back of his head. [Color=fuchsia]"I think the stand you won this from begs to differ."[/color] Pyrrha knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind. Kyuuten has been Harpy's most proactive member in trying to be more friendly with Golem. He didn't see the rivalry between the two guilds being to prove who's better as much as it was to push each other to become stronger. That was just the way the young wizard's mind worked. While his excessively bright attitude could be a source of worry for Pyrrha, she couldn't help but find it endeering. [Color=deepskyblue]"C'mon let's grab a bite. I can smell that sweet sweet festival grub from here~"[/color] Pyrrha sighed and nodded with a slight smile.

Adjusting his glasses, Delsin sat down with the retiring guildmaster in the library. They started a game chess, the strategics of the game allowing him to get his mind off things. [color=firebrick]"I apologize if I disturbed you."[/color] The old man waved away the apology. [color=goldenrod]"Not at all. It's been quite some time since I've been able to find a partner to enjoy this game with. You've been away too long Del."[/color] Delsin made his move. [color=firebrick]"Then I still feel I must apologize."[/color] The old man was a wise veteran of the game. [color=goldenrod]"No need. I am dumping a heavy weight on your shoulders. You needed the time to prove to yourself that you could bear it."[/color] Delsin countered swiftly. [color=firebrick]"I won't act as if I found my answers while I was away but I am at least better assured that I won't drive your legacy into the ground. Are you sure you wish to retire so soon Grandfather?"[/color] The elder chessman chuckled. [color=goldenrod]"You've always had a sharp mind, I have faith in your abilities. It's been six years since the guild's inception. My goal was to build a solid foundation. It'll be your job to build upon that foundation."[/color] Delsin made his next move and sat back looking out the small window. [color=goldenrod]"For someone so against my retirement you seem to have quite a lot of determination those eyes."[/color] The old man set up a dangerous trap on the board.

After a few more turns Delsin found himself cornered. He saw a way out and made his move. Now he had set his own trap. As he sat back he glanced out the window and saw the Harpy's guildhall in the distance. As he looked upon the rival guild's abode he couldn't help but admire the elegant form it took. It was a marvel even among the incredibly ingenuity that was Luna Crescente itself. It's... [color=goldenrod]"It's really quite beautiful, isn't it?"[/color] Delsin looked at the old man with surprise. [color=goldenrod]"When you let your guard down you're very easy to read my young successor~"[/color] Delsin scoffed at the statement. [color=firebrick]"Hmph, you claim to see through me in a mere instant, for that is the measure in which I do lower my guard if ever?"[/color] The old man smiled wryly. [color=goldenrod]"If I may quote, 'I assure you I do not claim anything'."[/color] As if Delsin had blatantly told him his plan, the old man expertly countered it and left the his grandson speechless except for two words. [color=firebrick]"Check mate..."[/color] Sighing, he already started thinking about the ways he could have prevented his defeat. [color=goldenrod]"Thank you for the game..."[/color] The old man said standing up. Delsin looked away from his elder showing that he was still immature in some ways such as when losing.
