[center][h2]James Hunt|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall[/h2][/center] James nods in approval of the names Jarvis calls out for the game, though he didn't forget that Gideon had asked a question and he intended to give the man an answer. [color=Navy]"Jame Hunt, Paladin Magic user. As for the games, well, this is the biggest event for magic since it first started coming back."[/color] Taking another bite, he watches the guild members of the guild Frenzy Plant and laugh. Damian's mouth seemed to be trying to catch up with his brain and not having much luck. It was amusing to see the usually so taciturn S-Class wizard be so humbled. [color=Navy]"So, Gideon, what do you think of our guild? Is it everything you hoped for?"[/color] [center][h2]Damian Gerard|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall[/h2][/center] Damian was at a total loss for words. These guys were pretty inconsistent for a militaristic group. Still, they hadn't done anything to HARM anyone. So, he figured he could stand a little conversation couldn't hurt. However, before he could get anything out of his mouth, Penny came over and introduced herself to the group, saying that they shouldn't be letting him do all the work. He snorts. [color=FireBrick]"Two weeks ago, you'd have been singing a different tune based on the dressing down you gave me. And like I told you last time, I'd already left a good time BEFORE you got back."[/color] Despite his response to her, he smiled. And then his thoughts drifted back to two weeks prior and his smile became a frown. [color=FireBrick]"If you'll, uh, excuse me."[/color] Damian made his way to where Jarvis and stood and waited a moment before letting loose a high pitched whistle that grabbed everyone's attention. [color=FireBrick]"Phoenix Wing, I'm sorry to interrupt your merry making and conversations, but it's time you know a little more about me. About my past."[/color] He looked over each member, his eyes falling on Penny last before they looked away in shame. [color=FireBrick]"Two weeks ago, as many of you know, I accompanied Karn, Zero, Mithera, and our guest Melina on a job up to Mount Hakobe. During that job, I discovered that the perpetrators of the disruption were rogue Rune Knights. During the battle, I...I took the lives of two of them."[/color] He knew that he should have started with his past, but he pushed on. [color=FireBrick]"You should know this isn't the first time I've killed to protect others. You all know I was in the military before I joined Phoenix Wing. What you don't know is that it was years before, and that I left when I was 16 after wiping out a group of enemy controlled monsters during an offensive for the Fiore Royal Army. My parents were in the military and it's all I knew growing up. I participated in my first battle at eight, repelling an attack on the northern border. I was a child soldier. I...I wasn't completely honest with you all. If you need me, I'll be in my room."[/color] Having said his piece, he pushes his way through to the stairs and walked up them, entering his room and closing the door. With a sigh, Damian pulls out Durandal, looking at the sword made from a dragon fang over. [color=FireBrick][i]Did I do the right thing just now...[/i][/color]
