The Clan of Swords Guild

[ShineCero]

The Clan of Swords​

The way of the sword is to achieve full enlightenment for one's self. Never lose your way of the sword.​

The Clan of Swords is a Weapons-based Guild that has a central focus on swordsmanship and monster slaying. Located in the Southwest region of Desolate Lands, it was created as an response to the abundance of monsters and mutants that spring up locally; although the Clan of Swords do take on international missions if the payment is worth it.

The founder and leader of the Guild, the Great Swordsman, Silence, is renowned legendary swordsmen in the weapons community. Mastery of the sword, it allowed him to gain a reputation for his record-high monster slaying in plentiful of towns throughout Desolate Lands. However, Silence received criticism for his ethnics of slicing down monsters in a discriminatory fashion—including friendly monsters. Another form of criticism is the abundance of recruits abandoning their posts—for various reasons—and their illegal actions of striking down defenseless monsters. There are no official comments from Silence regarding those matters.

The Clan of Swords accepts anyone who studies the way of the sword and delivered justice for the towns being sack by a horde of monsters. The location of the guild is another interesting attribute—due to the Great Wars, the weather patterns is thrown off whack and constantly snow for the majority of the time throughout the year.

The Clan of Swords Guild is a singular building consisting of multiple floors. Each of the floor has a purpose to assisted newcomers and veterans on mastering their swordplay create new bonds and served justice against the monsters. The Tower next to the building is known as the Monster Eye Tower—using some form of magic, it sends off an alert of any monsters coming near the guild at all times.

[OPEN] SEARCH FOR THE MAGIC RESISTANT ARMOR MATERIALS

Hi, we're currently in a need of some magic resistance armor and have the tools to build one. However, I'm currently missing one key ingredient for the armor that can be found only in the Fairy Forest. Hope to hear from you soon.

- Jason

[TAKEN] Please, find my daughters!

---

Hello, my daughters were kidnapped and I have no one else to turned too. She's was taken to the Forest of Memphis, I believe, by those Watcher Cults. Please, save my daughter! I will pay handsomely! I'm on the Coast of Cleo, so I can fill you up on the details.

Silence, returning from his mission in the Fallen Sky Temple, stumbled through the main floor of the Guild. He was clearly exhausted from his battle against Negative, the man previously known as Grand Sorcerer, ShineCero. “That battle… something is clearly wronged here. Even if ShineCero possessed such strength, for him to easily deflect my silence strikes without even moving an inch.” Silence thought over the grand battle as he attempted to reach his office but collapsed on the floor. “Whatever he did… it boosted his abilities far beyond a mortal can handle. I need to write a report on this.”

Mecha Samurai rushed to him, holding onto his body to lift him up. “Silence, you looked like hell, sir. What happened?”

Silence stood up, although his legs still wobbled. “Don’t worry about my injuries. I just need a good rest. The mission was an utterly failure, so I refused payments.”

Mecha Samurai narrowed his eyes. “So, ShineCero was killed?”

Silence shook his head. “No… he’s very much alive, but I need to figure things out before I relay some information.”

Mecha Samurai wanted to press on but respect his wishes. “Well, refusing payments isn’t the wisest decisions, sir. Our Guild is currently low on funds and much of our members abandoned this place, save a few. We cannot afford to not received compensations…”

“I’m very much aware of that, but I won’t taint the name of the Guild with failure. We have other missions we can do to get cash.” Silence took a deep breath. “Do we have anything available?”

“There is one request we been getting.” Mecha Samurai pulled up a piece of paper from the main floor’s desk. “It seems a disturbance is happening in some remote parts of Shina Ania, so I sent a few members to check it out. However, none of them returned, so I assumed they ditch the mission and went someplace else.”

“Figures, we always get the worst types of trash that joined our guild.” Silence let out a sigh. Disappointment in his eyes reflect his mutual feelings of how things aren’t going in the direction he had hoped. “Take the remaining group and lead them to solved whatever issue is arising in that area. Once you complete the mission, I should be well enough to give you some insight of what I discovered.”

“Alright… take care, sir.” Mecha watched Silence entered his room. He noticed an air of “anger” and “disappointment” on his face. “I wondered what put Silence in such a foul mood?” Mecha wondered, turning to the paperwork. “Guess it’s time to call the rest of the group…”

Booming knocks came at the door of the main building. It appeared to be several people that were doing it. 

"Are you sure this is the place?" One said.

"There's the other Guild, but I doubt they'd take any troublemakers like this punk... This is what the warden ordered anyway. All the prisons are full anyway."

"We barely have any still standing..."

"That's my point."

 

[~ Z ~]

Blazrin yawned slightly but grumbled when he heard the knocks on the door. He didn't want to get up and open anything but no one else seemed to be doing him the favor. He groaned in annoyance and slowly went to the front door to open it. His hair seemed messed up thanks to the nap he was taking. When he opened the door, he stared at the people who were behind it.

"Clan of Swords, how can we help ya'?" He said lazily, rubbing one eye.

 

[LoopyPanda]

Standing before Blazrin were two men in what looked to be as close to what a police officer would look like, but they each gripped the shoulders of a shorter young woman between them who was cuffed and wore a bored expression.

"On official business. Is a man named Silence here? If not, can we see anyone who's filling in for 'im? Our jail's Warden sent us down to work some things out with the Guild's leader."

 

[~ Z ~]

"The boss?" Blazrin looked behind him and didn't see anyone coming his way. He groaned again but knew he had to take this situation into his own hands. "Yeah, I'll fill for him. What's up with the chick? Why is a cutie like her cuffed and bored?"


Blazrin laughed loudly and opened the large door with ease, allowing them to enter. 

"So what bring ya' here?"

 

[LoopyPanda]

"This punk's got a track record, but since our prisons are full, the warden made a deal she'd stay out of his custody so long as we had her join a Guild." One guard said. 

"We've got a laundry list of what she's guilty of and her confiscated weapons. I'm not the warden so that sentence record is sealed off to our eyes." Said the other man. "Under warden's orders, if you lot take her in, you can keep her weapons outside of missions, take a cut of any cash she makes, standard protocol of criminal reform."

"Well, could you have picked something besides these wooden cuffs? I'm getting splinters." The young woman interrupted as they entered further in.

"Quiet, girlie. You'll be out of em soon, anyway."

"She knows she'll end back up in our hands worse than when she started off at if she doesn't behave at least a little more in line anyway. Dunno what the chief was thinking."

 

[~ Z ~]

"Well, we need a couple of members since some o the others dipped." Blazrin shrugged. "Sure, we'll take her in as long as she can show us she's actually useful."

Blazrin eyed the girl and seemed to chuckle at how feisty she was. 

"She doesn't look useful at all. The only working part of her seems to be her mouth. Maybe she can lick stamps or something." Blazrin picked the girl up by the back of her shirt and wiggled her around a bit, trying to see if she would do anything. He stared at the guards with a large smile. "You can toss her weapons on the sofa. I'll be sure to let da' Boss know we got a new member."

 

[LoopyPanda]

"Hey! Watch the threads, man!" She took the wooden plank that they clamped around her hands and swung it at his torso while attempting to kick at his knees. "Quit manhandlin' me!" 

The first one that spoke dropped a duffel bag that housed her confiscated items before bowing their heads and leaving. "Thank goodness we got rid of one chore..."

 

[~ Z ~]

Blazrin laughed at her attempt to hurt him. He was stronger than he appeared so all her swinging only made him twitch. He kept his grip on her shirt and held her in front of him, almost as if she was contaminated or something. He took a hold of her weapons with his other hand and started to walk down the hall to where Mecha Samurai was always working at. Since his hands were full, he kicked the door open.

"Hey, Mecha', we got mail." Blazrin said, wiggling the girl again. "She's gonna be our new member."
