[color=gray]Death.

Whether it be by fire, gun or old age, everyone will die once in their lifetime. To some, death may be considered a foreign concept; to others, commonplace. Still, no matter how one considers death, when the thread of life is cut, so to does the hopes and desires of the deceased, but many believe the soul lives on. Whether this means wandering an eternity in hell or enjoying a peaceful afterlife in some heaven, the soul, or otherwise, the core leaves the body for another place while the shell rots in the ground.

Yet, what happens to those judged unfairly by life and its reality? What about those who were loyal until the end, only to wilt in despair or be crushed by betrayal? Or, what about the ones who faltered under the pressure of an impossible foe? The unlucky few, whose souls are left in angst as their lifeblood was stolen from them. By pure right, they should be irate that the inequitable gods that watch over their world had cast them aside. Some may have been followers, while others were not, but the fate was all the same: a cold death.

Luckily, their voices had been heard, but by one so foreign. Whisked away to the unknown, these souls awake in a distant city in a world unsung--no, a world of infinite possibilities. Humanoid birds and faeries take to the skies, while centaurs and humans with feline traits walk the streets. An occasional human passes by, some with swords and others practicing street magic, shooting actual flame or other magic bolts from their fingertips.

Death has brought you a second chance to live as you should have. Will you take the plunge, hero, or will you let your fate get the best of you?[/color]

[color=gray]The sun was shining, and the friendly chatter of others could be heard for miles.[/color] [color=pink][i]It is a perfect day,[/i][/color] [color=gray]Willow thought as she sipped freshly brewed tea. A perfect day for the new arrivals to begin anew. Like many of the guild staff, Willow had notice of the large arrival of lost souls--deceased spirits troubled by Lady Luck herself. Normally, only one or two would show up at a time, but this batch had been numerous. Pondering over what terrible fates that these souls might have suffered brought a shudder to Willow, and she set her tea down lest it be spilled by a shiver.

A glance at the clock--ticking away thanks to a magical core--had revealed that it was almost time to welcome the newcomers. Standing from her desk, Willow walked over towards a mirror, and adjusted the red bow tie that had been clasped around her neck. If Willow was to introduce these new folk to the world of Alcone, then it was best to be dressed for the job. Giving herself a thumbs-up in the mirror, Willow made haste to the door of the guild's building. In a few minutes, they would all be standing by the door, looking confused as to why they might have wings, pointy ears or even be an entirely different species.

The clock struck, and Willow felt a magical impulse throughout her body.[/color] [color=pink][i]It's time,[/i][/color] [color=gray] The staff head thought, reaching for the large door handle. Yanking both doors open with as much strength as she could offer, WIllow received the newly formed crowd with a large gleaming smile on her face, her eyes taking note of all who might be there.[/color] [color=pink][b]"Welcome! I am Willow, the head of the guild's operations. Come, come, there is much to discuss, especially with the odd expressions you're giving me."[/b][/color] [color=gray] Willow explained, bowing her head as she ushered everyone inside, and then to an empty foyer with many table benches, like those one would see at a picnic. If one wanted, a few various beverages rested on the tables, acting as potential refreshments.[/color]
