The New Harbingers?

   *Alto*

        After Hilda and her two accomplices left Lisette and Alto to the mercy of the strange man,he addressed them as if they were royalty.Strange,but Alto didn't mind.

        "Master Alto,Lady Lisette,If you two will allow me to lead you  to where you are to stay for the duration of your stay I would gladly take you to your dorms."The man walked off without another word.Despite his appearance the man was quite fast and graceful.He masterfully weaved through groups of people doing everyday things such as carrying platters or even children running through the halls.On their jog to catch up to the man Alto got several glimpses of their new "home".The walls were littered with various forms of visual art.So many paintings of past people with glowing eyes and sceneries so beautiful Alto could stare at them for hours on end.As they finally caught up with their unnamed aid Lisette and Alto arrived before a blue door. He pulled open the door to see a bedroom with navy blue colored walls.In the middle on one of the walls was a bed with dark red sheets,next to it a well crafted bedside table was placed.He walked in to see that there was more to  the room in which he'd entered.He had small closet and even his own bathroom although the light in it was a bit dim.The set up of the small apartment seemed a bit like his old room in Mithra.The comparison so apparent that he felt his eyes water a bit,but swiftly brushed away the feelings of melancholy.

        After taking in his new surroundings Alto turned around to see the man smiling at him warmly."I'm so delighted to see that you are enjoying your new room!!Oh um excuse me I just get a bit excited when people are happy with my work.Oh!Almost forgot my name is Wain.Nice to meet you"Wain rushed over to Alto and vigorously shook his hand.He soon left to take Lisette to her room and Alto was left alone to think about everything.He had never been given a chance to sit and process all that had happened,had he?He stepped back only to fall on his bed.The mattress was ridiculously soft and the comforter was so warm and cozy.He decided to rest up a bit by simply laying on his back and relaxing.After what seemed to be hours he heard a knock upon his door and looked up to see Wain.

         "Master,Alto I need you to come with me.Mistress Hilda has requested your presence within her court." Wain looked at Alto with a curious look.

       As like before Wain walked with an extreme speed and Alto lost him.While walking down the halls he looked for any familiar paintings.He saw one!That lady with the red eyes.Her long black hair looked luscious and even better with the mauve dress she wore.Her pose not only revealed her gracefullness,but a small child in her arms  with black hair the same color as hers.He continued down this same hall and saw another familiar picture.This one much more sad then the first picture he had seen.In the picture a woman with silver hair is withering in the arms of the who Alto assumed was the woman in the first picture.Her dress was the same,but it was torn in several places.The woman's beautiful face was streaked with tears.Alto stared at  the painting as he walked.Wait,what about Wain!He had totally forgotten.He broke into a sprint and turned the corner only to bump into somebody.

         The impact of the collision sent Alto flying a couple of inches backwards on his bottom."Owww!"He whined.

        "Are you alright?"A muscular hand was extended to Alto.Alto accepted the offer and took a good look at the person.The guy was humongous standing at least 6 feet.He had navy blue unkempt hair and wore a t-shirt that looked tight on his biceps with black baggy pants.

       "Yep,I'm fine.I was just a bit surprised by you...um who are you by the way?"Alto asked.

        In response the silver eyed male that stood in front him chuckled and stuck his hand out for a hand shake."Sorry about bumping into you,I was just thinking about something.My name is Lario.How about you?"The boy fired back while putting his hands on his hips.

         "My name is Alto.I recently came here and had trouble navigating the halls,hehe.Um oh yeah do you know aman named Wain and if so have you seen him recently?"

         "Yeah I actually saw him around that corner back that way.Don't worry if you were following him,he'll eventually realize you got lost.He'll probably be here any second.Nice to meet you,Alto.I'm afraid I have to go.See ya"The stranger waved Alto off as he stalked off.Lario seemed nice enough,He would have to ask Hilda about him.Alto headed down the direction Lario had point toward only to find Wain rushing towards him.

       "Thank goodness,I found you!I was worried when I saw you disappeared!Come come our destination is the next door to the right."Wain greeted Alto with rushed speech and practically dragged him into the nearby room.In there he could see Lisette,Hilda and three new people.

      "At last!You took forever to reach a room that's pretty much under youre your own.I would love an explanation,but you can tell me later.I hope you're excited to meet your team mates"Hilda gestured towards the people around the table."First up is Vivia.Vivia if you would."

     "Yes,ma'am!My name is Vivia!I am very excited to be working with you two and hope that I can  be a useful ally in the future.I am currently 17 and I use a hammer as my main weapon."Vivia siad all of this while saluting at Alto.While in her tight position she kept her arm stuck to the side of her amethyst colored chest armor and her hand tightly gripped her black pants.Even her hair revealed her serious charcter as it was tyed into a tight brown ponytail with some bangs that covered a bit of her face.Her golden eyes shined against her tanned skin.

     "Next is Meee"A high voice squealed.A girl with tired blue eyes stood up and did a strange dance as she introduced herself."I'm Rei!I like art,animals,potions,and nice people.I hope we can be close friends!"She wore a long cloak that hid most her attire,the hood hid her snow white hair.

     Lastly the boy who sat next to Rei stood up and took a bow."My name is Ancelot.Glad to make your acquaintance.I am currently 17 as well and use twin guns."As he rose up again he looked at Alto and winked at the black haired boy.He wore a black shirt and dark brown pantethat had golden bandages around them.His boots were more than like made from steel,the shine on them confirmed this.

      "I'm glad you all have become acquainted.Now you will be given your first mission."Hilda said after clapping her hands.Alto gawked at the time witch's statement.How were they supposed to do this if he had no idea about these kids' strengths and weaknesses.The other's faces seemed to confirm that their thoughts were similar to his.Like before Lisette was very quiet.This bothered Alto.Anyways at the moment he had more problems to deal with.How was he supposed to do this?!

        Vivia shakily asked"U-um Hilda,What exactly i-is our mission?"

        "You all will be.......Uh give me a second"Hilda took a moment to think.DID SHE NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING?!!?"You will be helping out around the castle.You all shall go to Wain to get your actual assignments."
