Ah...Good morning world! Or not.

Ouch. These injuries are a bitch! I fixed them up last night, but now, they're stiff and sort of scabbed over. I'm in the bathroom of the hotel examining my many new scrapes and scars only wearing a bra and shorts. Big gash to the left of my eye. Smaller scrapes all

over my arms and legs. Nasty skid marks on my stomach to neck area from being dragged across the dessert. Lovely.

I walk back into my bedroom and hear a knock on the door. "Luca?"

"Yeah, come on in Luxus." I'm looking through the bag on my bed when he finally walks through the door. "Hurry up, dude. Gotta be at the station in 40 minutes." I look up and see him staring at me. I look down at myself and realize, I'm not fully dressed yet. I walk around the bed and stand right in front of him. "What? Never seen a woman before? Maybe you should take off your shirt, it might make you feel better."

"Your stomach..."

"Yeah, my chest too. It happens." I walk back over to the bed and pick up a shirt. "Hurry up, or I fear my back will look just as bad as my stomach." I wink at him and laugh as his face gets red. "Come on, Luxus. Hurry now."

When Luxus came back out of the bathroom, I was waiting on the couch, luggage by my side. I had braded my hair into twin pigtails. I had on a black long sleeve shirt and yellow short shorts. Short yellow vest. Black low cut converse. Simple traveling attire.

"Finally. Even I don't take that long in the shower." I stood up and reached for my bags. Luxus put his hand out and stopped me from picking them up.

"No. I'll take them."

"What? No! I don't need your help!"

"Maybe you don't, but I'd still like to give it to you. You're hurt, and you're already helping me. Just the way you move is stiff. Please allow me to not help, but assist you in carrying your luggage to the train station." I just looked at him and frowned. Reluctantly, I mumbled

"Fine."

...

On the way to the train station, Luxus did in fact carry all three of my bags the entire way. I tried to get him to let me carry at least one, because when his shirt moved a bit, I saw a large burn mark creeping out from his shoulder. My argument was that he was hurt as well, but he wouldn't be swayed.

During the train ride, we didn't talk much. I tried to explain the complexity of Golden Falcon to him. I tried to explain the characters he would meet. I tried to explain the entry and placement test that would officially make him a part of the guild and how he would fit into the hussle and bustle of one of the most powerful mage guilds in the world.

Luxus hardly said anything the whole way. When we got off at the stop, he pushed me out of the way to get my bags. I follow him off the train and down onto the platform where my friend Maycee is waiting. She runs over and gives me a big hug. When I wince, she pulls back.

"Oh, Lu, I'm so sorry! Omigod, what happened to your face? Your legs too? And by the sounds of it your stomach and chest! Are you okay? Oh, by the way, Rei said he's so sorry he couldn't make it! He wanted to come, he just couldn't because he's doing something for your dad! Oh you have to let Magistra look at you wounds! And-and...and who is this?"

"Maycee, this is Luxus. Luxus, Maycee, one of my best friends." Maycee had light brown hair cut short in a shaggy boy-cut and light grey eyes. Today, she was wearing a lilac colored dress that was bunched up at her knees and tied at her waist. She had a ribbon of the same color in her hair and no shoes.

"Nice. So Lu, where'd you manage to pick this one up?"

"Just on the mission, he looked like he needed help, so I was like hey why not? Because you know -"

"Because you are a fucking nice person, yeah I know. Well, just put the stuff in the car, I guess. Luxus, you can sit next to me, baby. The skank can sit in the back."

"Oh shut up whore." I laughed and climbed in the back seat of the magic car.

"Hey, he's probably gay like the rest of the guys you bring home." Maycee slipped the magic bracelet around her wrist and grabbed onto the steering wheel.

"Naw, I don't think so. He got way to excited when he saw my boobs. I think he's a bit of a sadist too, he was really looking at the cuts."

"Ha, nice!"

"You know I'm sitting right here." We both look over at Luxus and laugh. Maycee starts up the car and we zip off into the mountains. I lean forward and whisper "sorry" into his ear.

Golden Falcon is set in the backcountry mountains of the continent of song. It takes one hour to get to the train platform and then another two hours to get to the guild itself by magic car. The guild meeting house is set in the side of one of the mountains. We have our own little village set in the valley below the mountain that has our houses, training yards, and a few restaraunts and stores. We usually don't have anyone come and visit our guild because even if they can get to the platform, they often end up lost on the mountain roads.

On the way to the guild, I tell Maycee about what happned while on my mission. She then proceeded to tell me what happened during my one week absence. Who went on missions, who came back, and why Rei is working for my dad. You see, Rei usually just does small jobs like protecting a family during travel or working at the guild. Its not usual for my dad to ask Rei to do things.

"Oh, he's just helping Raphael prepare a surprise for your birthday next week," Maycee tells me as she pulls the magic car in front of the guild.

"Well, thank you so much for telling me. I'm sure it will be SOME surpise," I laugh and get out of the backseat.

"Oh, yes, I'm sure!" Maycee laughs and picks up two of my three bags. "Hey, I'll take this stuff back to your place. Kay?"

"Yeah, sure. That's fine. I'm going to go find my dad." Maycee waved and walked away. I picked up my other bag and slipped my arm through Luxus's. "C'mon you. Have to go get you into this guild."

We went to my dad's office to find him and Rei huddled over a paper on the desk. "Um, hey you guys!" I say, waving a hand.

"Luca! Hey babe!" Rei says, turning around quickly. My dad folded up the paper and shoved it inside his desk. I looked at them with suspiscion until Rei held open his arms asking for a hug. When I obliged, he mumbled into my hair, "Missed ya kid."

"Aw, you make me feel so loved." Rei pulled back enough to look in my face.

"Well yeah, everytime you go off by yourself, we all think you're not going to come back."

"I love the faith you guys have in me," I let go off Rei and turned to my dad. "Dad, this is Luxus Dreher. I met him on my mission. He doesn't really have a place to stay, so could he join Golden Falcon."

"I don't know...what kind of magic do you have Dreher?" my father asked, turning towards Luxus.

"Lightning, sir," Luxus answered.

"Have you shown Luca what you can do with your magic?"

"She has seen what I can do, yes."

"How good is he Luca?" Father asked, turning back to me.

"He saved my ass, simple as that," I answered. My father laughed, turning towards Luxus.

"I suppose if Luca still likes you after you helped her, then thats a good sign. Luxus, you can join. We'll get everything settled tomorow. Now Luca, you have to leave so I can finish talking with Rei. Why don't you take Luxus to our apartments until we can find him another place. Great to have you back, girl."

I took Luxus by the arm again and led him over to my place on the other side of the guild complex. As we were walking he finally said something.

"So this Rei, is he your brother?"

"No, he's not. Why, does he look like my brother?" Rei had purple eyes, with dark grey hair that was long in the front, short in the back. He was tall, almost as tall as Luxus. He didn't look anything like me.

"No, not really."

"Um, ok...?" I looked over at Luxus and noticed he had gone quiet again. "Why?"

"No reason..." I could tell he was lying. "Is he your boyfriend then?"

"Ha, no! Rei is gay!" Luxus stopped walking and I turned around to look at him.

"G-gay?"

"Yeah, as in swinging the other way? Not straight? Homosexual? Gay."

"Oh. Ok..." Luxus started walking again and continued to let me lead him towards my place.

"Why? Is that a problem?"

"Not my problem. His problem."

"I don't think its a problem. If you think its a problem, then we have a problem." I stopped at the door to my place and turned around to lean against it. I poked him in the chest with my finger to emphasize my point.

"Like I said, not my problem." Luxus grabbed my hand and pulled it away from his chest.

"Well fine then." I pulled my key from around my neck and opened the door. I led him into the living room and pulled out the folding couch. I grabbed some blankets and sheets and threw them at Luxus. "The bathroom is at the end of this hallway here and the kitchen is over there if you want something to eat. You can do whatever you want. Stay here, explore, whatever. I'm going to the guild building. Here's a key." I took the one from around my neck and tossed it at him. "Have fun, I'm going to go see if my nice, gay friend is done with his project."
