[quote=Ditzy Stoneclub]"And who normally use your arrows? They must be strong if you only let some use them."[/quote]

"[color=indianred]My arrows are suited best for myself. I can do a few special tricks with them.[/color]" Saburo replied. "[color=indianred]I only let others use them during times like these.[/color]"

[quote=Nagare][color=6ecff6]"What say you, Lord Saburo? Would you care to meet Mr. Freyr, maybe during a short intermission in the competition?"[/color][/quote]

Saburo thought for a moment before replying. "[color=indianred]We shall see about that, Dragon.[/color]" He ominously replied.

"[color=indianred]Suspend the competition and give me an apple.[/color]" Saburo ordered one of his men. "[color=indianred]I shall issue 'The Challenge' to this Freyr fellow. You two, follow me.[/color]"

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"May I make a small, simple request? I would want to be able to take a second shot after the 'official' one, but using my bow. Would that be allowed? Nothing official, of course. These shots won't count to the competition. Think of it as just a way for me to try and adapt myself to these bows you provided as we Vieras have a different body physiology than humans. The bows we use ourselves handle very differently from these."[/color][/quote]

"[color=fff79a]I'm afraid I cannot answer that, sir. You will have to ask--[/color]"

"[color=indianred]FREYR![/color]" A loud voice boomed throughout the competition. "[color=indianred]Look to me![/color]" The crowd then parted to make way for Lord Saburo Fujikiyo who held an apple and was followed by Nagare and Ditzy.

"[color=indianred]Sir Freyr! Your friends tell me that you share hobbies and interests with me.[/color]" Saburo began as he walked to the field. "[color=indianred]They made a good case about you to me. I would like to see it for myself.[/color]" The lord continued as he stood some distance from [u]Freyr[/u]. "[color=indianred]I sincerely hope you do not disappoint.[/color]"

"[color=indianred]This is my 'Challenge'![/color]" Saburo held the apple on his palm right in front of his chest. "[color=indianred]If you can shoot an arrow at this apple without piercing it enough to hit me, we shall talk and we shall share our techniques and methods regarding arrows.[/color]" He explained. "[color=indianred]If you fail that and I die, then whosoever takes your head shall inherit my fortune and my arrows and their secrets.[/color]" The defeat condition raised the ears of everyone in the vicinity.

"[color=indianred]Use any bow you like. But only use my arrows.[/color]"

All eyes were on [u]Freyr[/u]. He was given a single arrow while Haley approached him and whispered. "[color=royalblue]Just wink at me if you need help.[/color]" The Siren was not uncomfortable at cheating this time. Not while there was much at stake.

Haley then went over to [u]Ditzy[/u] and [u]Nagare[/u]. "[color=royalblue]You two. Get ready to make a break for it. Create as much disruption as you can. Make sure we can fly unimpeded. I'll grab Freyr while Dragon lady here grabs Goblin boy.[/color]" She relayed to them the backup plan. "[color=royalblue]I've faith in Freyr but you know, just in case...[/color]"

The crowd surrounded the guild members, ready to pounce on them should Saburo fall. They were armed with exotic weapons from the far East like katanas, kanabos and naginatas. But they will only use them if, and only if, [u]Freyr[/u] fails and Saburo dies.

[quote=Titanica and Vară]*Feasting like there's no tomorrow*[/quote]

"[color=orange]Well, I'm glad you're enjoying our food.[/color]" Gina remarked at the apparent genocide of the shrine-town's edible resources.

"[color=orange]Just so you know, I haven't actually told anyone yet about not putting 'enhancers' in there.[/color]" Gina revealed that what [u]Titanica[/u] and [u]Vară[/u] have eaten may have something more in them. "[color=orange]I'd wager that you have several hours before you nab the nearest guy you see and just tear him apart.[/color]" She continued. "[color=orange]Not literally, of course. Sexually.[/color]" Gina bluntly stated.

"[color=orange]And with that amount, I bet you could go on days and days. Maybe just days if you don't stop for short breaks.[/color]" Gina chuckled. "[color=orange]Oh and, there might be a pregnancy. I mean, monsters don't get pregnant easily but since you'll be doing a lot... Well, who knows?[/color]"

The Gandharva then went over to [u]Bast[/u] and [u]Eilidh[/u]. "[color=orange]If you're not the type to share, you'd better look for another man for these two to unleash their... 'fury' on.[/color]" Gina told [u]Eilidh[/u] before flapping her wings into the air and leaving.

But not before giving [u]Bast[/u] a playful wink, with everything that implies.

[quote=Teelfa Silverwind][color=darkmagenta]”Could you possibly bring him out for me? Or at least show me where I need to go?”[/color][/quote]

"Oh yeah, yeah. Follow me. Bart's right over here."

The boy stood up and led you into the hole entrance and inside of the guild headquarters.

The boy led [u]Teelfa[/u] into the guild's dining hall which was filled with the aroma of dinner and the sounds of one or two conversations. "Bart's right over there. Hey Bart! Someone's here to see you!" He pointed to the familiar orange-haired man sitting at the end of the long stone table. "Welcome to our guild, Miss. There used to be more of us but... I guess some things just don't work out." He sighed before leaving [u]Teelfa's[/u] company.

Meanwhile, Neil sat in between [u]Nephele[/u] and [u]Morgan[/u] after [u]Ozzy[/u] was done talking to them. "Hey, Neph. Did I miss anything?" He first asked the Cave Dragon. "Hey, Miss Morgan. Thanks again for Talia." He then addressed the Moth Kaiju. "Well, while you're waiting for Titanica, do you mind telling us why you're so eager to meet her?" Neil asked curiously. "Do you two have a history or something? Childhood friends? Or is that something private?"

"[color=f26522]No need for that, Ozzy. At least not now. You are free to cook for us tomorrow night.[/color]" After Bart had addressed [u]Ozzy[/u], he went over to [u]Teelfa[/u] as he had been called by Neil to her. "[color=f26522]Hey there! Is there something you want?[/color]" He asked before his eyes narrowed. "[color=f26522]Wait, I know you. You're... uhh, Tifa? No, no, there's supposed to be a color there. Teelfa! Yes, you're Teelfa![/color]"

Talia quietly ate her dinner when [u]Magnus[/u] approached her, saying that he needed to tell her something. "[color=lavender]Oh sure, Magnus. What do you need to say?[/color]" She noticed that the male Minotaur was uncomfortable, which in turn made the Cyclops wary as ideas started floating in her mind. "[color=lavender]Is-Is there something wrong, Magnus? You were... you and that Yang person brought the last materials to Kyle, right?[/color]"

[u]Ozzy[/u] and [u]Yang[/u] were currently in conversation with each other so no one disturbed them for the moment.
