[center][b][h1]Arc I[/h1][/b][/center] [h2]Introduction[/h2] The story begins with a crowd surrounding the Tower. Today was the grand day for festivities. Today was the day when Iniya starts initiating more summoners into becoming official adventurers of the Tower. For some reason, even a few royals and the three heads of each of the factions have shown up! They were scouting, scouting the future generation on who could provide great benefits to their own powers in the near future. A certain leader of one of the factions was looking forward to one of his own joining the adventure in exploring the Tower. Iniya was starting to call names when a certain boy she couldn't recognize fell on his face from jumping off a nearby rooftop. She shakes her head and says in her high pitched voice, "Young man, I believe you are a little late! Please join the line behind me and get ready to enter the portal!" She starts leading the way and the procession toward the portal began as mini images best categorized for screens for the officials and nobles to watch for what was happening on the first floor. [hr] [center][h3]Okami[/h3][/center] Okami woke up late...again. Lupa was the one who woke him up as she licked his face multiple times. "I get it, I get it...oh gods the time!" He quickly got up and ran around the room, throwing on his jacket and scarf as he slides out the window and hops down to the ground. He enters through another window to the kitchen and kisses both his parents on the cheeks as he grabs his breakfast. "See you pops, mam. Wish me luck!" Before they could respond, the teenager hops out the window again and already began climbing up another wall to the rooftops once more. Lupa was still able to keep up quite easily as she found ledges and all sorts of boxes to climb up herself, always staying one step ahead of Okami. He quickly runs off across the rooftops and finds the procession already occurring in the middle of the city. Okami quickly heads off even faster but Lupa tries to give him a late warning bark...which kinda leads to him falling off a rooftop. Then this led to him getting embarrassed and had a really red face, and Lupa hiding in her Catalysis in his journal due to not wanting to share the shame. He could already feel a certain pair of eyes on him and a snicker from the front of the group, a kid around the same age of Okami if not older who had blond hair and a sort of noble look to him. The two immediately disliked each other from one look and Okami heads to the back of the line with a red face. He looks around the people with him in line and waves to try and ignore the embarrassment. "Hi you guys...um the name is Okami. I'll show you guys my partner Lupa later when we start the trial but err...hope we get along!"
