"Let's start again, I'm Night," he said while holding out his hand, Night had an innocent and pure smile that naturally touched Mocha.

"I'm Mocha, and this is my group," Mocha said as he accepted the gesture.

"Hey I'm Davinky or Leo, this is Noxx, my bro," said a burly red-haired man while pointing to a man with a similar physique but green hair, they looked pretty similar but the differences were pretty clear, Leo had brown eyes whereas Noxx had eyes that were more towards being hazel.

Leo was slightly more buff and had lively eyes along with his chocolate-like complexion and wide smile which made him seem awfully friendly whereas Noxx had somewhat cold eyes and his complexion was slightly lighter and he had an honest smile.

"Heyy, I'm Layla, I'm Mocha's sister," she said with a bright and trustworthy smile.

She was the ranger and wore a green dress covered in armor and held a staff in one of her hands, she had ginger hair that had messy curls but somehow complemented her overall look.

"I-Im, Ev-Aurora," She said while looking away from Night, she was the girl that was nearly killed by Shade.

Mocha now looked at Night and Aurora and noticed something peculiar, Night was certainly good-looking but what stood out the most would be his hair as well as his eyes, his blue hair and weirdly purple eyes seemed to be heavenly.

But Aurora had bright red hair with golden eyes, for some reason Mocha thought these two were somehow connected but at the same time, he felt they were the complete opposite of each other.

* Aurora's point of view*

'Tch, I just had to embarrass myself like that but ... what was that...that Guardian would've killed me with a single attack and he called Night his lord??' she thought while the others were introducing themselves.

Calling Aurora(Eve) beautiful would be an understatement, she looked ethereal and effortlessly so, her red hair and gold eyes were dominating but at the same time were kind and elegant. Naturally, Aurora had many suitors but it was rare for them to act out, for, at the same time, they feared her. Her father was none other than Hector Cirillo, one of the most feared and respected MMA fighters in the world, a living legend, obviously being his daughter, Aurora was trained to protect herself as well, but just the fact that she was Hector's daughter was enough, and to add on to their fears, all of her siblings were either medal winners or champions in some kind of combat sports.

Noticing that it was her turn to introduce herself, she said,

"I-Im, Ev-Aurora," she said while looking away from Night.

'F*ck, what a mess, I stuttered and embarrassed myself again, gosh this is a Nightmare...' she was cursing herself internally but to everyone's surprise, Night began walking towards Aurora.

'Ah perhaps My Lord fancies that woman, in that case, I must apologize at once,' Shade thought as he saw Night walk forward.

'Huh? what's he doing? why's he walking towards Eve?? he's not going to harm her is he? maybe he's upset about what she said but is he really that cruel? perhaps I judged him wrong, if he even touches a single strand of her hair, I'll murder him.' Mocha thought to himself as he looked at the other members who were just as puzzled as him.

'W-why... is he w-walking towards me.... ' Aurora thought as her cheeks turned red.

"What're yo-" before she could finish Night's gesture shocked her.

Night, titled as an anomaly of a player, and one of the most popular players was now on one knee.

"I apologize for what just happened if it is too much to forgive I understand, Shade get over butt over here,"

Shade immediately rushed and knelt in front of Aurora and said,

"I sincerely apologize My Lady, this Guardian hopes you spare his life,"

Nobody noticed what Shade said but Aurora caught what he said,

'M-m-my L-lady?' her face now further reddened.

After calming herself, she looked at the two of them and said,

"Please get up, it was my mistake, I shouldn't have spoken so rashly, I apologize," Aurora said while slightly bowing to the two.

Smiling Night got up and said, "well that's perfect then, on that note yes I did enter Vraun, I had something to do here, and you guys are here for?"

Hearing that he entered Vraun already, they were slightly disappointed.

"Ah, of course, we're here for some information for our work, we've come here from Linto"

Night tilted his head upon hearing Linto's name, he was quite surprised but then he grinned and said, "you guys must be one strong party ahaha"

Seeing his Lord now casually talking to them, Shade now felt admiration once again, you see when Night apologized to Aurora, Shade was under the assumption that he did so to capture her heart.

[Bond with subject 'Shade' deepens]

"Huh? not again," Night now frowned as he didn't know what was causing this.

But before he could think about it too much a loud growl caught all their attention, in fact, they could feel the entire forest shake.

A large figure nearing 20ft appeared from behind them, Night was confused as to why he didn't sense this beast. The monster had spikes coming out from its body, not leaving even a part of its body uncovered, it looked almost like a dinosaur except it was standing up straight, it had pink skin with brown spikes.

"The... Guardian.." Mocha said.
