Assome of you may have heard, I planned to write a story about the grand tale my friend Scarlet and I (as well as my friend Jo) have composed on the now shut down Winx Forums. Now, here it is!
Warning- During the composition of this tale, the original role players had arange of things going on, including sleep deprivation, stress, and a variety of other things, causing some of the works not only to be non canonical, but also nonsensical, because there brains were in no condition to be precise. If this bothers you, please turn back now. If not, welcome aboard.
Prolouge 1
Setting up Shop
Ah, Tharsis. The city closest to the tree Yggdrasil, where hopes and dreams live on to become reality. Many a explorer come around in hopes in finding their way to the holy tree. And today, two more of these hopefuls walk through the gates.
"Come on, Dren! Your moving to slow!" This voice belonged to Ella Ezmaralda, a Dancer who was always smiling and happy.
Behind her was her own brother, Dren Ezmaralda, a prickly and finicky Medic with height challenges. The poor boy was carrying his weight in baggages. Being only 90 pounds, things could be worse out for him.
As the siblings reached the gates of Tharsis, a soilder greeted them. "Greetings!" He called out. "I suppose you all are the newest set of explorers? "
"You certainly bet we are!" Ella chirped, excitement bubbling up within her. The Dancer turned to her brother "Right, Dren?"
"Yeah......." Dren muttered from behneath the crushing weight upon his back.
"Well, in that case, you should check out the Explorer's Guild to get yourselves started" The soilder said, before promptly giving directions to such a place.
After thanking the kind guard, Ella and Dren went on their way, following the instructions prescicly. They were soon met with a large building, with a bit of noise coming from it. Cautiously, the two walked in.
"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL WERE YA THINKING, YA IDIOT!?" The first thing that met Ella and Dren's ears was a shout, a shout from a rather fiery female.
Ella's eyes scanned the room for a source of such a voice. Soon enough, she was met with the voice's owner, a blonde haired girl with green eyes, in a red pleated skirt and a hat with a peacock's feather drooping from it. She seemed to be pinning down a pale-skinned male with ruby red eyes, dressed mostly in black.
"How was I supposed to know that there were vicious baboons there!" The pinned male snapped, looking rather irrated but otherwise unfazed from his current situation.
"So, you've already caught eye of two of the most rowdy people in the city, hm?" Ella almost hit her head on the roof when she heard a voice behind them. She and Dren turned around to see a tan, muscular man with wisps of gray hairs on his head.
"Are you the guildmaster?" Ella asked, which was soon answered by a curt nod.
"And I suppose your new explorers looking for a guild?" The guildmaster asked in return, also replied with nodding. He scoped the room, then thought about something or another before finally sighing "It seems as if no guilds are up for recruitment, oh I'm going to regret this...." he said, before calling two names. "Dindae! Chase!"
Soon enough the two exact people the brother-sister team had seen just moments earlier now stood before the guildmaster, guilty sweat running down their faces.
"Yes sir?" The blonde asked, trying to keep from cracking under pressure.
"Dindae, Chase, you've been looking for a guild, yes?" The guildmaster asked, as the two stranger's eyes lit up.
"HELL YEAH WE'VE BEEN!" The fiery girl shouted. "Who ya got? Expert explorers from Etria? Retired knights from Lagaard? "
"Er, no....look behind you." The guildmaster said, pointing to Ella and Dren. As the two turned around, any twinkle in their eye faded.
"You can't be serious" The ivory-toned boy said, shoulders slumping.
"I'm serious. Now, what are your names, newcomers? " The guildmaster asked, nor exactly estatic about the Tharian's reactions.
"I'm Ella Ezmaralda! " Ella chirped, oblivous to the attitude of the others.
"Dren Ezmaralda. " Dren muttered, in just as a sour mood as the others.
"Well then, Ella, Dren, I'll let you get situated with your new guildmates, I'll get the paperwork...." The guildmaster said, before quickly making his leave.
The blonde girl shot a look at Ella and Dren. "The name's Dindae. Dindae Jones. I'm the best Landskecht in town, so your lucky I'm on your side." She remarked with an attitude.
"Chase Deity. Nightseeker. " Themale of the two said, his face and voice emotionless.
"Well then, guys, we're going to make this work, right?" Ella said, a smile on her face. She turned to Dren."Right?"
"Right....." the other three said in unison, but there was one thing for sure.
It was going to take a bit to make this thrown - together guild 'right'
★☆★☆★☆
.......Wo, this is why I'm needing more than 1 prolouge. Maybe 3. Who knows. Anyways, I'll try to right Prolouge 2 tommorrow, until then, leave your compliments, criticism, and Landskecht hate below.

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
Prolouge 2
Set off
After talking, or should we say bickering among themselves, the guildmaster finally returned with a sheet of paper "Now, whoever you decided to be guild leader has to fill these-" he couldn't even finish his sentence before Ella snatched up the paper and started filling the form out.
Guild Name- Starlash
Current members- Ella Ezmaralda, Dren Ezmaralda, Dindae Jones, Chase Deity
Recruiting? - Yes
Skyship-
Ella stopped at the part of Skyship. "We don't have a Skyship...." she stammered.
Dindae sighed. "I do, I guess I can let ya'll use it." She muttered. "It's called the Skystar"
Ella smiled at Dindae before jotting 'Skystar' on the form. The others signed their names, as did she, and handed it to the guildmaster, who took it without hesitation.
"Perfect, now, for your initiation mission, normally the Outland Count would assign you something in the labyrinth, but he's a tad busy, so until then, I have a task for you" the guildmaster said.
"Hmmm? What could that be?" Ella asked, furrowing her brow.
"There is a small maze east of here, the Old forest mine. Normally one would just have to map it out to pass, but we have some other problems.......the Old Forest mine houses Iridescent Ore, which fuels Skyships, so your initiation mission is that of retrieving some...." The guildmaster explained.
Chase sighed. "Simple enough, come on guys" he said, before he and Dindae walked out into the streets of Tharsis, Ella and Dren tailing behind.
As they made their way to the City Gates, the group heard a shout from further up the street. “AFTER THAT CART!!!!”
Moments after hearing the plea, a cart carrying lettuce whirred past the Starlash guild. It’s driver was a…...6 year old girl?
Yes. A 6 year old girl.
However bizarre that might have sounded, Dindae and Chase seemed to know this little girl, as that shouted in unison “HAYLEY!!!” Before sprinting down the streets, leaving Dren and Ella having to scramble after them.
Soon enough, the cart halted at a stop, and the four explorers stopped to catch their breath as the little girl, apparently named Hayley, hopped off the cart and faced them. She seemed rather happy to see them.
“Chase-kun! Dindae-sama!” She chirped, and went up and hugged Dindae’s leg. She had long white hair and wore a layered robe-dress of a variety of blues and browns.
“Hayley, what were you doing on that cart!? And not only that, you left the guild hall without permission!” Dindae said, her emotions a mixture of anger and concern.
Hold on Ella thought This little kid is an explorer?!
“Sowwe, Dindae-sama….” Hayley muttered, letting go of the Landsknechts leg and looking at the cobblestone pavement.
Chase patted the child’s head before turning to the rather confused siblings. “This is Hayley Menil, the strongest Runemaster in Tharsis.”
“STRONGEST RUNEMASTER IN THARSIS!?” Ella and Dren’s mouth dropped in surprise simultaneously. This little kid was not only a Runemaster, but the strongest one in the City?
"Ya heard em'" Dindae said, as Hayley started dancing around.
"Who are these people, Dindae-sama? " Hayley asked, looking over at Ella and Dren.
"I'm Ella, nice to meet you, Hayley! " Ella said energetically, crouching down so she was the same height as the little Runemaster.
"Dren." Her brother said, not showing any attempt to be friendly.
Dindae looked back at Hayley. "You shouldn't be so reckless. Remember that your only 6 years old. " She said, her eyes showing concern.
"I'm sorry, Dindae-sama......I just wanted to be a cool explorer like you and Chase-kun...." Hayley apologized, holding her hands behind her back and looking at the ground again. "I wanna be part of a guild..."
Ella's eyes lit up. "You could be part of our guild! " She chirped.
Hayley quickly looked up at Ella, blue eyes full of wonder. "Really!?" She asked in excitement.
"Of course!" Ella said happily. "You can come with us to the Old forest mine! "
Dindae, Chase, and Dren peered at Ella in an odd manner. She smiled at them, showing that this wasn't an odd joke. Dindae turned toward the city Gates. "Well then, come on guys, if the Starlash guild is to become offical, we have to get a move on!" She said.
Hayley's next words made the moment that much more complete.
"Let's do it for Starlash!"

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
Prolouge 3
A Friend in Need
As the Starlash guild, now with one member extra, ventured to the city gates, they were met with a large hot-air balloon type of transportation. It was colored royal blue with yellow lines going around it.
“Is that the Skystar?” Ella asked. Dindae nodded.
“The one and only! Ain’t it a beaut?” The Landskecht said, admiring the skyship.
“Well, might as well pack up and head out.” Chase said, tossing a leather bag over his shoulder and walking onto the Skystar. The others went to follow.
Dindae fiddled around with the controls, pulling levers and pushing pedals. Soon enough, the skyship rose into the air and began to progress into the skies.
“Here we are! The Windy plains!” Dindae cheered. Ella stared out the Skyship window in awe. The hills seemed to last forever, the world covered in green.
“What are those things!?” Dren exclaimed. In the corner of Ella’s eye, she saw as massive kangaroo, it’s eyes meeting the Skyship, had it been closer. It was white and covered in black dots, like a cow but not so.
“Those are Bounding Beasts.” Dindae explained as she drove. “Don’t mess with them, they’ll slaughter you.” she warned.
“Like they did that lady?” Hayley asked, pointing to a blue-and-white dot on the surface below.
“WHAT!?” The others shouted, before Dindae put the pedal to the metal to zoom down to where Hayley had pointed.
When they had reached the ground, they found a girl with ghostly pale skin, a black skin-tight bodysuit with a blue slip on dress. She had a barbed tail and animal-like ears. She looked like she had taken a massive beating, and she weakly clutched a long staff.
“Dren! You're a medic! Do something!!!” Ella demanded, shaking her brother.
“I willl…….jussstt...leeetttt….meeee…..goooo…..” Dren stammered, his words being dragged out from being shaken. Once Ella let him go, he took a roll of bandages and started treating the odd-looking girl’s wounds, putting ointment on what wasn’t still bleeding.
Soon enough, the girl gained consciousness. “W-where am I?” Her voice was delicate and sweet, but still shaky.
“You're in the Windy Plains.” Chase explained, offering the girl a hand to help her get up. She took it but also ended up needing to use the Nightseeker as an anchor to stand.
“Are you alright, miss?” Hayley asked, looking up at the mysterious girl.
“Y-yes…..I’ll be f-fine…..” The girl muttered. “Thank you so much…..”
“All ours.” Dindae said with a friendly smile. “Now, could we earn the honor of learning your name?”
“H-hermonie…..Hermonie Otowa…..” The girl stammered, attempting to bow.
“Oh! How pretty!” Ella chirped. “I’m Ella Ezmaralda!” Following the perky Dancer, the others made their introductions.
“Dren Ezmaralda, Ella’s brother.”
“Chase Deity, just your typical Tharian”
“Dindae Jones, best in class!”
Hayley took Hermonie’s hand. “I’m Hayley! I hope we get to become friends!”
Hermonie smiled shyly. “I guess….” She muttered.
“We should take you back to Tharsis, so we can get you some better medical attention.” Dren begun. “I’m only a battle medic, so my healing only fixes minor injuries.”
"Yeah, come on...." Dindae said, leading Hermonie to the Skystar. The odd looking girl followed without hesitation.
A while later, Hermonie was laying in a bed in the Saehimmer Inn's clinic. She had fully healed, thank goodness, but she had called the Starlash guild to ask of something.
"You want to join our guild!?" Dindae asked, rather surprised.
"If you'd allow me. I feel as if I have a debt to repay, and I do. I wish to aid you in your adventures, as my Aracany is something not likely found here..." Hermonie explained, a look of pleading in her cool blue eyes.
Dren was about to say something in protest when Ella interrupted him "Of course you can! The more, the merrier!"
Dren sighed "Let's go tell the guildmaster....."
"Oh, and another thing......here's this, as a gift of thanks...." Hermonie said as she got up, presenting the Starlash guild with a rainbow colored stone. "I found this before I got attacked...I'd like you all to have it" sure enough, that stone was the requested Iridescent Ore!
Dindae's eyes twinkled like precious jewels at the sight of it. She practicality snatched up the rock from Hermonie's hands. "NO TAKEBACKS!" she exclaimed.
"Is everything alright here?" A familiar voice came from behind Starlash. As they looked over, they saw the guildmaster.
"Oh, hi Guildmaster!" Ella chirped happily. Dindae hugged the Iridescent Ore, caressing it as if it were a child.
"Ah, looks like you've found the Iridescent O- Dindae." The guildmaster looked at Dindae as he tried to take the ore. Dindae refused to let go. After a couple minutes of playing keep-away, the guildmaster finally got the necessary rock.
"Thank you, more or less. Now, by the looks of it, you all have made some new allies?" The guildmaster asked, glancing at Hermonie and Hayley.
"Yup! And they're going to join the guild too!" Ella cheered. Hayley and Hermonie briefly made introductions.
The guildmaster smiled. "Well then, I guess the Starlash guild is ready for action, right? You seem to hold a lot of promise. Just like another guild..." he trailed off.
"Hmmm? Another guild?" Dindae asked, puzzled.
The guildmaster began to walk away. "Oh, I bet you'll see soon. Until we cross paths again, Starlash!"
"Until we meet again!" Ella said, waving the guildmaster farewell.
Chase spoke up. "Who's ready to find Yggdrasil?" He asked. In unison, the newly completed Starlash guild cheered
"WE ARE!"
Maybe this won't end out so poorly......

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
The Other Guild
As the Starlash guild walked out of the inn, there was quite a bit of chatter amongst the group, until Dren had realized that his sister had gone missing
"Hey, have you guys seen Ella?" The pint sized medic asked. The group looked around. No sign of the dancer anywhere.
Several minutes later, the guild was on a search for their leader.
"ELLLLAAAA!!"
"ELLA-CHAN!"
Little did they know, however, was that Ella was skipping along the streets of Tharsis, her pink pigtails bobbing in the air as she walked. She was looking for the 'other guild' the guild master had spoken of. Conveniently enough, a group of explorers was gathered at the City gates. They had a girl…….on a leash?
“Heyo!” Ella chirped, cartwheeling over to the group.
The group consisted of a Nightseeker, a Landsknecht (who happened to be on the leash), a Fortress, a Sniper, a Runemaster, and a Medic.
"Hello there....." The Night Seeker said, a little cautious.
The Landsknecht just shot a nasty glare at the dancer. The other's introductions were much more welcoming, however.
"ELLA! STOP RUNNING OFF!" Dren exclaimed as the Starlash guild had found its leader.
"We might need a leash for you....." Hermonie sighed, closing her eyes as her shoulders slumped.
"Looks like someone already took your idea..." Dindae said, pointing at the leashed girl. Dren snickered a little at the sight.
"Hilarious..." the leashed Landsknecht muttered, closing her eyes so no one could see her roll them.
"On another note, who are you all?" Hermonie asked, tilting her head ever so slightly.
"We are the Nightless guild, and I am the leader, Yusisrea Salzar." Said the Nightseeker, before stepping back to let the other members of her guild perform their own introductions.
"I'm Alice Rozen." The Runemaster said, smiling broadly.
"I'm Daimon Marrow, and this is my brother, Roxas." Said the Sniper, as he gestured to his brother, the Fortress.
Next was the medic. "I'm Alexander, Alexander Lexus" he stated firmly.
The Landsknecht remained quiet, but the Starlash guild didn’t seem to notice and went along with their own introductions. Chase, however, did take note and walked over to her. He held the leash in his hand and looked the girl in the eye, a rather soft expression on his face.
"Why would you keep such a beautiful girl on a leash?" He asked, before Yusisrea took the leash from him.
"That girl leveled an entire town!" The female Nightseeker snapped. "Be wary of her..."
"I personally think she's stunning....what's your name, miss?" Chase said, letting Yusisrea's warning fly completely over his head.
The Landsknecht looked at him with red eyes. "Icis, Icis La-Rain....." she said to him, her tone emotionless.
Chase smiled. "What a beautiful name.....like that of a goddess...." he said to no one in particular.
Dindae seemed displeased with the way Chase was treating the girl. "Chase, could you stop flirting with her and recollect!?" She said with disgust.
Chase sighed before rejoining Starlash. Ella then chirped up again. "So, are you guys heading towards Yggdrasil?" She asked.
"Who isn't?" Alice said with a smirk. "I'm guessing you all have the same idea?"
"Hell yeah we do!" Dindae said, pumping her fist, as she was getting all worked up over just talking about it.
"We could work together!" Ella offered, her eyes twinkling at the thought.
"That sounds like a good idea actually......." Daimon said. Did Ella actually come up with a good idea!?
" I suppose you all are heading into the Lush Woodlands." Yusisrea said, looking over at Starlash.
"Of course!" Ella chirped happily. "So are you in?"
Yusisrea looked at her guild, who all showed signs of agreement, aside from Icis who didn't care. She then turned back to Starlash, more specifically Ella."Sure" she said with a smile"
"Yipee!" Ella squealed, jumping up and down. "We can go right now!"
"We should probably stock up and rest up, first" Dren said, being the voice of reason in the current moment.
"I agree with Dren, I say we go to the inn." Alexander said in agreement.
"To the inn then?" Alice asked, glancing at the group. In unison, the majority of the group cheered.
"TOO THE INN!"
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
A/N- Well! There's the first chapter of that. The next chapter is going to be super short and a filler but then things are gonna get good I promise. I'm sorry if I'm writing short chapters as that's how it's going to be at first. As things progress chapters will get longer. Also, sorry ItL for not posting D:

Several minutes later, the guild was on a search for their leader.
"ELLLLAAAA!!"
"ELLA-CHAN!"
Little did they know, however, was that Ella was skipping along the streets of Tharsis, her pink pigtails bobbing in the air as she walked. She was looking for the 'other guild' the guild master had spoken of. Conveniently enough, a group of explorers was gathered at the City gates. They had a girl…….on a leash?
“Heyo!” Ella chirped, cartwheeling over to the group.
The group consisted of a Nightseeker, a Landsknecht (who happened to be on the leash), a Fortress, a Sniper, a Runemaster, and a Medic.
"Hello there....." The Night Seeker said, a little cautious.
The Landsknecht just shot a nasty glare at the dancer. The other's introductions were much more welcoming, however.
"ELLA! STOP RUNNING OFF!" Dren exclaimed as the Starlash guild had found its leader.
"We might need a leash for you....." Hermonie sighed, closing her eyes as her shoulders slumped.
"Looks like someone already took your idea..." Dindae said, pointing at the leashed girl. Dren snickered a little at the sight.
"Hilarious..." the leashed Landsknecht muttered, closing her eyes so no one could see her roll them.
"On another note, who are you all?" Hermonie asked, tilting her head ever so slightly.
"We are the Nightless guild, and I am the leader, Yusisrea Salzar." Said the Nightseeker, before stepping back to let the other members of her guild perform their own introductions.
"I'm Alice Rozen." The Runemaster said, smiling broadly.
"I'm Daimon Marrow, and this is my brother, Roxas." Said the Sniper, as he gestured to his brother, the Fortress.
Next was the medic. "I'm Alexander, Alexander Lexus" he stated firmly.
The Landsknecht remained quiet, but the Starlash guild didn’t seem to notice and went along with their own introductions. Chase, however, did take note and walked over to her. He held the leash in his hand and looked the girl in the eye, a rather soft expression on his face.
"Why would you keep such a beautiful girl on a leash?" He asked, before Yusisrea took the leash from him.
"That girl leveled an entire town!" The female Nightseeker snapped. "Be wary of her..."
"I personally think she's stunning....what's your name, miss?" Chase said, letting Yusisrea's warning fly completely over his head.
The Landsknecht looked at him with red eyes. "Icis, Icis La-Rain....." she said to him, her tone emotionless.
Chase smiled. "What a beautiful name.....like that of a goddess...." he said to no one in particular.
Dindae seemed displeased with the way Chase was treating the girl. "Chase, could you stop flirting with her and recollect!?" She said with disgust.
Chase sighed before rejoining Starlash. Ella then chirped up again. "So, are you guys heading towards Yggdrasil?" She asked.
"Who isn't?" Alice said with a smirk. "I'm guessing you all have the same idea?"
"Hell yeah we do!" Dindae said, pumping her fist, as she was getting all worked up over just talking about it.
"We could work together!" Ella offered, her eyes twinkling at the thought.
"That sounds like a good idea actually......." Daimon said. Did Ella actually come up with a good idea!?
" I suppose you all are heading into the Lush Woodlands." Yusisrea said, looking over at Starlash.
"Of course!" Ella chirped happily. "So are you in?"
Yusisrea looked at her guild, who all showed signs of agreement, aside from Icis who didn't care. She then turned back to Starlash, more specifically Ella."Sure" she said with a smile"
"Yipee!" Ella squealed, jumping up and down. "We can go right now!"
"We should probably stock up and rest up, first" Dren said, being the voice of reason in the current moment.
"I agree with Dren, I say we go to the inn." Alexander said in agreement.
"To the inn then?" Alice asked, glancing at the group. In unison, the majority of the group cheered.
"TOO THE INN!"

A/N- Well! There's the first chapter of that. The next chapter is going to be super short and a filler but then things are gonna get good I promise. I'm sorry if I'm writing short chapters as that's how it's going to be at first. As things progress chapters will get longer. Also, sorry ItL for not posting D:

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
At The Inn
A/N- Yay filler! No. This should be the shortest chapter for a while, but I was low on motivation and Google Docs is an asshole. Note to self- Type directly to Wattpad and just copy and paste it to the other forums from there.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The two guilds, now in a sudden alliance, made their way towards the only inn in Tharsis, the Saehimmer Inn. It wasn’t very large, but enough to hold the bountiful amount of explorers the city held within it’s walls. As the explorers walked through the twin oak wood doors, they were greeted by the sweet smell of fresh bread and meat. Dindae’s mouth began to water already as Ella got the group a table.
Dalla, the innkeeper, handed them menus. As the two guilds looked over it, Hayley sneezed, as bitter air encased Hermonie’s knee in ice. Ignoring the poor Vessel’s condition, the group continued to ordering.
After Dalla left with the orders, the enchanted ice had grown, surronding Hermonie's entire leg. "A little help please....." she muttered.
The group's attention drew to the suffering Aracanist, who then took immediate action after taking grasp of the situation.
"Does anyone have a chisel!?" Ella asked, glancing around the inn frantically in search of any sort of assistance.
"I could melt the ice...." Alice offered.
"We don't want her burned and frozen!" Dren hissed at the other guild's Runemaster . Alice put her hands in the air as if she was being arrested, unaware of the Starlash medic's prickly nature.
"I don't want to be a Vessicle!" Hermonie called put in distress as the ice climbed to encase the entire lower half of her body. The Aracanist's violet eyes dialted in panic.
Icis sighed before taking one of her broadswords and hitting it straight where the ice met Hermonie’s waist, shattering it. Clear Crystals of frozen water were now scattered across the Inn's Oakwood floors, glimmering against it like jewels.
"Thank you greatly!" Hermonie said with grand gratitude, eyes lighting up like stars.
"It was just to shut everyone up...." Icis muttered, her words cold as the ice that once kept Hermonie hostage. She slipped her broadsword back into its leather hilt as she sat back down. Dalla arrived with their food shortly after. As the group ate, Icis slowly worked her leash's chain away from Yusisrea, a chain link at a time. Chase, as he was staring at the Landsknecht in an intimate trance, noticed, but he said nothing of it.
The sun sank against the Tharian horizon as the two guilds went to their respective inn rooms to turn in for the night. The following day, they would begin a quest that would echo in Etrian history for centuries to come.

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
Into the Labyrinth
Totally didn't get the idea from this site...heh
A/N- Yaaaaay things are moving! Now I won't exactly go by the book of the games, as characters can't get flung out of battle by the FOE and the such (Oops, mini spoiler~) so any hard core Etrian Odyssey fans I'm telling you not only am I using writer's privilege on adapting the story of Etrian Odyssey IV, I'm rehauling the fighting system. Thank chu.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
The morning was warm and bright as the Starlash and Nightless guilds slowly awoke from their rest. The day was filled with potential and promise. But, alas, you'd never be able to tell that some of them were even adults by the time the day is over. Ah, well. One point of the matter is that these guilds have their own way of doing things, and there were some rules to follow, for lack of a better term.
Rule 1- Dindae is up by the crack of dawn, and one will have to deal with her rather, violent wake up calls.
"Get your lazy asses up! It's 8 AM and the path to Yggdrasil won't carve itself!" The hot-headed Landskecht called as she tied her red checked bandana around her golden blonde hair.
Dren went on to make a rather costly mistake by ignoring Dindae and continued sleeping, his black hair spread across the matress. Of course, Dindae wasn't going to have it.
"I SAID GET UP DUMBASS!" She shouted, kicking the medic's bedpost with full force, her brown leather boot almost shattering the wood.
Dren leaped awake at the vicious earthquake that had ruptured through his bed. "I'm awake! I'm awake! Do you have to be so violent!?" he said, startled. The boy was holding his hand over his chest to reassure himself that his heart hadn't popped out of his chest.
A devious smirk formed on Dindae's face. "I believe I do" she said with an almost diabolical chuckle.
Ella was already awake, skipping downstairs to the lobby. Her pink pigtails bounced to and fro as the bells on her anklets tinkled. Ob her upper body she only wore a pink bikini top that had satin draping down her arms, on her lower body were puffy pants decorated with beads and feathers.
Down in the lobby was Chase and Hermonie. Chase was waiting for the other explorers to arrive as Hermonie was trying to brush her long, silky white hair and tie it into the long curled pigtails that she normally doned.
Hayley fumbled downstairs , her brown and sky blue beanie flying off her head and onto the floor. The little Runemaster scrambled to pick it up, her ice blue hair whizzing past her as her brown lace up boots hit the floor.
Dindae then proceeded down the stairs, dragging the pint sized medic Dren behind her. Dren's lab coat was constantly being caught up in the stray splinters of the stairwell, but he was already in enough pain from the grip of Dindae's hand that he could barely feel the bits of wood poking through his coat and pants and prodding at his skin.
"That's a little extreme, don't you think, Dindae?" Ella asked, her green eyes showing concern for her little brother.
"He asked for it" Dindae growled as she finally left Dren to pick out his splinters.
"There's the Nightless guild....." Chase said as the guild mentioned walked down into the Inn's lobby.
First was Yusisrea, her periwinkle hair swaying as she walked, her black dress flowing behind her.
Following was Alice, a hat fitting more to a buccaneer than a Runemaster perched on her head, red hair attempting to cover up what wasn’t already by her orchid doublet and black boots.
Next was Daimon and Roxas, the green haired brothers darting down into the lobby. The only way you could tell a difference between the two was their attire, Roxas in heavy armor, and Daimon in a lighter leather garb.
Alexander and Icis followed, Alexander 'walking' Icis, per say. Icis's red eyes were none to amused and Alexander handling her as if she were a wild dog.
Rule 2- Don't Anger Icis if you are fond of life. This is a big rule.
"Well, if everyone is gathered around, we can head out." Yusisrea said as she glanced around the room, doing a mental head count.
Hayley jumped up as she adjusted the beanie to fit properly on her head. "Yay exploring! " She chirped, twirling around in joy.
Hermonie’s mouth curved in the slightest of smiles as she saw Hayley dance about. Seeing that someone so young was estatic about taking a task most adults shy away from was a glimmer of happiness for Hermonie, but also a dash of concern. She would feel responsible and guilty if the child happened to die on the battlefield, losing her life at a small age. "Please be careful, Hayley. We don't want our smallest member losing their life, or anyone for that matter." the Aracanist said.
"Can we just get a move on? " Chase asked, getting a tad impatient.
"Yeah, of course! Let's go!" Ella said, before grabbing a leather bag full of exploring nessceties such as Medicas and Nectars and running out of the inn, leaving the others in a mad dash to keep up with the dancer.
■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪■▪
At the City Gates, there were quite a few Skyships parked, but the only two that mattered were the Skystar, belonging to Starlash, and the Dark-bringer, belonging to Nightless. The two guilds got into their respective Skyships and took to the air
Rule 3- Dindae is a very reckless driver. Beware.
"Does she always drive this wildly!?" Hermonie asked she clutched to the floor of the Skystar. Dindae was whirring it through the Windy Plains, having countless Bounding Beasts chasing after them. Fortunately for Nightless, Daimon actually knew the meaning of 'Caution'. Perhaps to much so. He was moving rather....slowly.
But, motion sickness and impaitnece aside, the group finally arrived at the Lush Woodlands, the first labyrinth in the path to Yggdrasil. It had the appearance of an untamed forest, with trees taller and buildings and vicious underbrush.
"YAY LET'S GO!" Ella cheered as she stepped out of the Skystar, apparently all the motion sickness leaving her body.
"Yipee!" Hayley chirped, skipping out of the Skystar, Hermonie following.
"Were going to get ourselves killed.........." Dren sighed as he joined his guild.
"Your telling me......" Alexander added, with the same attitude as Dren. Are all Medics this pessimistic? The world my never know.
Rule 4 (Final Rule)- Never try this at home, kiddos.
For a possibly terrifying labyrinth, the atmosphere was almost.........serene. Soft grasses and flowers brushed against the explorer's heels , as trees towered above them. Leaves danced in the wind as the cool breeze whirred past the two guilds. It was as if the labyrinth was attempting to lead them into a false sense of secruity.
Damion begun sketching out a map as the explorers made their way through the first floor of the treachorous labyrinth. Everything was quiet, far to quiet. A monster didn't attack them once. It made everyone rather uneasy.
"Where are all the monsters?" Yusisrea asked, constanly glancing around.
"Maybe an even bigger monster ate them all!" Hayley said, as everyone turned to stare at the little Runemaster.
"That's a.....little irrational.....don't you think?" Roxas muttered, before looking over to his brother. "Right?"
Damion shivered. "Irrational.....but terrifying none the less....." he said, and that very moment a monstorous roar shoke the forest. Damion and Roxas clung to each other and screamed "IT'S THE MONSTER!!!!" Hermonie, Ella, Dren, and Hayley too, screamed bloody murder.
Icis closed her eyes so no one could see her roll them. She unseathed her broadswords and head in the direction of the roar. "I'm going to investigate. If any of you cowards want to join me, I'll be that way." she said, pointing in the direction she was going before walking off.
"She's going to slay a monster without me!? No way! I'M supposed to be the hero! WAIT UP YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Dindae shouted. "Come on Chase get a move on!" The Landsknecht grabbed Chase's wrist and dragged him in Icis's direction, even though he would have gone regardless. Once the others had gotten over their intial shock, they too, followed.
The roar was louder than first percieved, as it took the two guilds a chunk of time spent weaving their way through twists, turns, and one too many dead ends until they met a wall of fallen wood.
"Well........there's our first obstacle....." Chase sighed, moving his hand around it. The wood was thick and coarse, like it would take a raging forest fire to make the slightest char in it.
"There's something behind it....." Yusisrea said, before the earth began shaking, little by little, before almost causing an earthquake. Chase darted away from the wood pile as a monsterous bear ripped it's claws through it until only splinters and the bears massive body remained.
"Oh........" Ella begun, mouth gaped open
"Great..." Hermonie gasped in fear.
"KUMITAN LOOK AT THAT THING!" Dindae said, eyes twinkling with wonder. "LET'S KILL IT!" Ah, Dindae, violence is always her first resort for everything. Little did she know was that the bear had its sights on Dren.
It swung a massive paw at the mini medic, sweeping him up and set him hurling into the forest beyond. "WHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Dren's screech got softer and softer as his silhouette disappeared in the sky.
"Okay....NOW we kill it!" Dindae said, unseathing her rapier. Hermonie grabbed the Landsknecht's wrist.
"No, we run!" Hermonie told Dindae as the Starlash and Nightless guilds proceeded to flee the potentially bloody battle.
The only thing that they could do now was either retreat to town or attempt to find Dren and risk another encounter. At this point, however, either descion was a bad one.

A/N- Well that was significantly longer thank Kumitan. if your wondering what this Kumitan is, if you talked the bartender in Etrian Odyssey IV, she would normally bid you farewell by saying "May Kumitan light your path" so I figured that it was the lands main deity. There's your explination =3

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
Forest of Fear
The situation was not pretty. Dren had been flung to who-knows-where, and there was a horrific bear-beast ready to lop off the heads of our poor explorers. However, Dindae's only concern was this-
"Why the hell didn't you let me kill it!? I could have beaten it to a pulp!" The blonde Landsknecht growled once the guilds were safe.
Yusirea had a decent answer for that, to anyone who didn't have a death wish. "This is our first day in this labyrinth, and you were suggesting that we take on that massive monster first thing! Are you crazy! You saw what it did to Dren!" Now, this would be perfectly logical, if Yusirea had been talking to anyone but Dindae.
"That isn't a valid reason! I want to beat it up!" Dindae said. Reason wasn't getting into the blonde's head, quite obviously.
Icis was rather fed up, however. "Go challenge it.......your the one committing suicide...." she said, closing her eyes so no one could see her roll them.
"Is that a dare!? I take it!" Dindae said with a sly smile. Ella had other ideas, however.
"Can't we just find my brother!? We don't have to fight any beast bears, but I want to see him alive!" Ella exclaimed, trying to give a sense of urgency.
"Right.....we can't operate with only one medic...." Dindae said, showing more concern for the fact of a lost medic than Dren himself. Then again, Dindae has never shown much compassion to anyone, really.
Damion looked over in the direction in which Dren the medic flew. "We should probably find our way over there.....I think I found a path leading that way earlier......" he said, pointing to the path he mentioned before.
"Let's go find a medic........." Roxas sighed as he led the group into the depths of the Lush Woodlands.
Birds chirped in the trees and the wind whistled, the false sense of security and peace returning to the air. There was no time to enjoy it, however, as the twists and turns of the labyrinth were perplexing, and the monsters were something to fear now that they had shown their faces.
However, after searching the floor, Dren was no where to be found.
"You think he went to the lower floors?" Alice asked when the party stopped to rest.
"It's only logical....." Hermonie sighed. "Perhaps he knew that we would delve deeper in the labyrinth, so he's waiting for us down there."
The conversation was broken by Hayley screaming. The little Runemaster had run ahead and in return met a gruesome scene before any of the others.When the two guilds sprinted to met any sort of new emergency, they were met were the bodies of several soldiers, unconscious and bathed in their own blood. The party was dumbstruck.
"What happened here?!" Ella exclaimed, absolutely horrifed by the sight.
"A monster must have ambushed them...." Yusisrea muttered.
"Must have been one hell of a monster......" Chase said, looking at the scene.
Alexander went to examine them, doing some minor treatment. "Their all alive, but there's not much I can do....." he sighed after treating the 6 or so soilders.
"What else could go wrong in this place!?" Dindae exclaimed. "First we lose our fucking medic, now we have a bunch of half-dead trained Tharian soliders at our feet and we will PROBABLY have to fight the DEVIL that slaughtered them to getting back our DAMN MEDIC!"
Interrupting Dindae's pointless ranting was another voice, coming from behind the two guilds.
"Well, look what we have here?"
The party turned around, only see a fellow explorer, with messy white hair and thin gray stuble. He had a hiker's backpack resting on his shoulders.
"Who are you?" Asked Alice, glaring at the newcomer.
"Hermonie-senpai....who is he?" Hayley asked, tugging on the Aracanist's dress.
"Please, forgive me! I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me. My name is Whirlwind. Your the Nightless and Starlash guild, correct? The guildmaster had said a thing or two about you all..." The explorer said, revealing himself as Whirlwind. Icis shot a disapproving gaze at him, while the others were rather open.
"Can you do something about this, Whirlwind?" Ella said, hoping that answer was a 'yes'.
Whirlwind smiled and nodded. "Indeed I can. You all just continue your way down, I'll take care of it. But a fair warning - the monsters down there, the Bloodbears, are a force to be reckoned with. Their much stronger than the Cutters of this floor. Be careful."
"Er.....thanks for the warning?" Ella said, as to her his 'warning' was basically telling them that they were walking into death.
"Can we please head forth? I don't quite take a liking to the current scenery...." Hermonie said, trying to develop some sense of haste.
"Hermonie's right. We should get moving, we do still have to find Dren." Chase stated.
"I'll leave you to that, then. Until we meet again, Starlash and Nightless!" Whirlwind said, before pulling out some Medicas, Nectars, and other various supplies.
The party took it's careful steps down to the second floor, where they were met with another ground-shaking roar, this time much more terrifying. Wildlife scattered at the sound of it. Some glanced at the explorers, their eyes saying 'What are you crazy people doing down here!? Move! HIDE YO KIDS, HIDE YO WIVES, CAUSE THIS MONSTER GON' BE SLAYIN EVERYONE OUT DERE' Maybe not quite like that, but you get the point.
"You know, maybe we should home, Dren will be fine....." Dindae muttered, with a paranoid laugh following it. "I mean.......we shouldn't get wrapped it in all that......it seems angry..."
Icis chuckled. "Oh, what's this now? The so-called 'Best Landsknecht in Tharsis' is scared?"
"I-I'm not scared! J-just, I-" Dindae begun, before caving in. "Okay, I'm scared! Who wouldn't be!? That thing, whatever it is, is not going to be very calm! You saw the soliders!"
Hayley pulled on Dindae's plaid skirt, looking up at her. "Don't be scared, Dindae-san! Think of Dren-san! Think about how scared he is. You have to be brave for him!" She said, the little Runemaster giving a reassuring smile.
"Fine. I'll try, but if this Bloodbear is bigger than a Skyship, I'm getting the hell outta there...." Dindae muttered.
"That's the spirit!" Ella chirped.
Daimon then turned the conversation back to the task at hand. "Now, if I'm not losing my hearing, the sound of the roar was Northwest of our current location.."
Another roar shook the forest before the guilds decided to get moving. Oddly enough, the floor was rather small, but like a little maze. They hit multiple dead ends, many twists and turns leading into nothing. But the most notable moment of this rather unintresting floor, was the moment they finally met the fearsome Bloodbear.
Our explorer's were once again believing that they were safe, for the most part. Heading to the 3rd floor, as Dren wasn't here either, sadly. So at this point they were questoning whether or not Dren was even alive.
"Well, two floors and no Dren." Chase sighed. "Where could the little bastard be!?"
"At least we never encountered the Bloodbe- never mind." Dindae begun to say some relieveing words, until they disappeared into thin air.
Reaching a clearing, in the middle of it, stood a massive bear with jet black fur, peircing golden eyes and splotches of red scattered across it's body. It's not paint or berry juice, my friends. If one lets their mind wander long enough, you will understand why Bloodbears are called as such.
Everyone stood perfectly still. Any movement would be the end of them all. As luck would have it, Alexander coughed, and the Bloodbear's sights moved to our heroes. Way to go Alexander.
The explorers exchanged worried glances, as well as expressions of pure panic. As the the Bloodbear charged, they flew in sevral diffrent directions, with a cluster of people in every corner of the room. Probably a better choice in the long run, as there was only one blood bear, and 11 of them. None the less, the battle was on, and it wasn't going to be a pretty one.
The situation was not pretty. Dren had been flung to who-knows-where, and there was a horrific bear-beast ready to lop off the heads of our poor explorers. However, Dindae's only concern was this-
"Why the hell didn't you let me kill it!? I could have beaten it to a pulp!" The blonde Landsknecht growled once the guilds were safe.
Yusirea had a decent answer for that, to anyone who didn't have a death wish. "This is our first day in this labyrinth, and you were suggesting that we take on that massive monster first thing! Are you crazy! You saw what it did to Dren!" Now, this would be perfectly logical, if Yusirea had been talking to anyone but Dindae.
"That isn't a valid reason! I want to beat it up!" Dindae said. Reason wasn't getting into the blonde's head, quite obviously.
Icis was rather fed up, however. "Go challenge it.......your the one committing suicide...." she said, closing her eyes so no one could see her roll them.

Re: A Different Kind of Odyssey
Blade vs Bear
It was 11 explorers against a vicious bear with what we could assume had a particular appetite for human flesh.
Dindae, standing in the same corner as Yusisrea, Alice, Chase, and Hayley, threw her hands on the handle of her rapier, unseathing the thin bladed sword with a single motion. Her eyes shook with fear, trying to sound confident when shouting at her foe "If you want to fight, then your going to get a fight! But I will make sure it will not end in your favor! "
That signaled everyone else to draw their weapons, but it was Hermonie that made the first move. She slammed her staff into the ground, muttering a phrase in a language unknown, as a magical circle appeared on the ground surrounding the Bloodbear, as coarse vines came up from the ground and bound the legs of the beast. The monster flailed about on the ground, but was stuck in the helpless position.
Icis then proceeded to charge at the bear, making serveral deep cuts in the monster's flesh before it's flailing flew her back, slamming her body up against a tree. She lay on the ground for a split second before jumping up again.
Chase quickly took one of his knives and threw it at the bear, striking it in the chest. The knife was given an effect so it was encased with enchanted ice.
"Fira runica!" Alice shouted, a red aura emitting from her wand before it turned into a fireball and launched itself at the bear, causing a brutal burn on it's back.
Hermonie quickly drew another circle, dispelling the last one, but instead sending the Bloodbear to sleep.
Hayley was cowering in a corner, afraid to move. Ella rushed across the room to her aid.
"Hayley, you have to get up! Your the strongest one in the guild!" She pleaded, outstretching a hand to the Runemaster.
"B-but the m-monster is scary!" Hayley weeped, tears forming in her eyes. She wanted to help, but she was far too scared! Who could blame her, when she was only 6 years old? Normally, a child this age had no business in the labyrinth! Ella knew that too, she couldn't force a little girl to fight.
"It won't hurt you, I'll protect you!" Ella said, smiling.
Hayley wiped the tears from her eyes before they could fall. "You promise?" She muttered, voice still shaky.
Ella nodded. "We all will, I promise. Now, the scary bear is asleep, you can attack it safely now!" She said, words full of encouragement.
Hayley jumped up and pulled out her wand, beginning to chant herself "Elctra Voltra Runica!" as she said the words, the light from her wand was bright yellow, a massive lightning strike coming down from it.
The Bloodbear's souless eyes snapped open, the vines gone from its legs. It was free to attack them now, and it was mad.
"Scatter!" Yusisrea shouted.
"We already are scattered, dumbass!" Dindae snapped, entering an attacking position. "I got this......"
"Dindae your insane!" Chase said, as if he knew what she was going to do. "You've never pulled it off! Don't-" he tried to warn Dindae, but it was to late for that.
The blonde Landsknecht leaped into the air, almost floating in the air, above the Bloodbear. She descended blade-first, letting out a final shout.
"HEEEYYYAAAAAHHH!!!"
The rapier stabbed clean through the monster's flesh, the sounds of various bones breaking thundered throughout the room. Dindae pulled out her weapon and landed safely in front of the Bloodbear, as it's eyes grew lifeless and it hit the floor, shaking the forest floor for the last time.
Everyone was amazed, well, most everyone. Icis wasn't to impressed, but then again, nothing seemed to impress her. "How did you- What was-" Daimon couldn't understand what exactly what he just saw, so his speech was reduced to incomplete questions and incoherent gibberish.
"Just a little of what makes me the best of the best. No need to thank me!" Dindae said, sliding her rapier back into its sheath. She was getting a bit egotistical again, if you couldn't figure already.
"Whatever it was, it got the job done" Yusisrea said, smiling with gratitude.
"This will make a good story when we get back to town!" Roxas said.
Alexander caught sight of the stairs in the corner of his eye. "Let's focus on finding the bottom of this labyrinth first." he said.
"And finding Dren! He's still out there, I know!" Ella said, still full of hope.
"What are we doing standing here then? Let's go!" Dindae said, starting her way towards the stairwell.
So, now with the bragging rights of killing a fearsome Bloodbear, as well as restored faith in their capabilities in the labyrinth, the Starlash and Nightless guilds continue their exploration of the Lush Woodlands, and their search for the Starlash medic Dren.

A/N- The things you can do on a car ride is amazing! Well, this is the first battle scene I've done, so this is actually pretty good! I'm on an EO frenzy right now because of roleplays and the announcement of the EOII remake, so yeah, life's been good ^^ And now ItL is 100% caught up with Wattpad! Yay me!
