Clash of Thunder and Lava

As the bright sun began to set in the distance, the figure of a young man wearing a black cloak was seen standing on a narrow cliff as he shifted his eyes in several directions, apparently searching for something or someone.

"I heard a rumor that she was seen somewhere in this area... just where is she?"

Ludius Grande Di Tetsuya, the infamous guild master of Dawn Horizon had set off once again on a mission to track down a rumour of there being a powerful wandering mage somewhere close to the borders between Fiore and. As per every rumor that Tetsuya had heard about, he wasted no time in taking off to search for this mysterious mage that he was itching to face in battle and convince to join his continously expanding guild.

So far however, his luck had been pretty poor as he had travelled through several grasslands, mountains, and deserts in his pursuit of the mage but had come up empty every single time. Tetsuya was beginning to think the mage was hiding from him on purpose as he let out a sigh and jumped into the air, soaring through the open clouds as his eyes looked downwards towards the open forest that laid below him.

"Wouldn't it be funny if I found them somewhere in this forest... huh?" Tetsuya stopped his sentence abruptly as his eyes picked up a small figure moving through the forest with alarming speed as he descended back onto the ground. As he landed, he ran on foot to follow the figure but couldn't completely recognize who are what was running so fast and decided to keep going and see where it would lead him.

Eventually, the figure came to a stop after leaving the forest and stood in front of an open lake where they crouched down and gently placed their hands into the water. Tetsuya slowed down and hide behind a tree as he peeked his face out to catch a glimpse of the unknown stranger that had decided to drink some of the lake's water.

"Who is that? That's... a girl right? Shit, is she the one I've been looking for this entire time?" Tetsuya wasn't completely convinced that such a convinient occurence could happen as he squinted his eyes to get a better look at the young woman in front of him. Beautiful silver hair, soft and delicate facial features, and a radiant charm that could captivate any man's heart; she was without a doubt a gem. Tetsuya had met many woman in his life and very few made strong first impressions on him like the woman standing only a few feet away from him did but he couldn't deny that she was a rather dazzling woman.

That said, his agenda still did not change and just as he was about to step forward to confront the girl, she spoke to him first.
