A New Face in the Guild

Chapter 19
Jason walked into the guild hall with Alex and Luke in tow.

"Do I really have to wear this blindfold," said Jason.

"Yes," said Alex excitedly.

"Sorry Luke, but you're not allowed to know your way to the guild hall until you officially become a member," said Jason. "Attention everyone!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to Jason. "I would like to introduce you to your new guild mate: Luke Gandor.  Treat him well.  Carry on."

Everyone began murmuring, Jason had never introduced anyone like this before. This was highly unorthodox, especially since he had also told them to treat him well. Jason had never shown any interest in a guild member before.

"What, so Jason's found a new favorite," said Cane eating a human hand.

"What do you mean by new?" said Hayley. "He never had a favorite to begin with."

Jason walked up to his room on the second floor with his team.

"It's time you both learn the meaning of the guild Black Void," he said. "Black Void references a black hole, a void of infinite darkness from which nothing can escape.  It represents how anything good can be sucked in and corrupted.  However every once in a while, after devouring to fast it ejects a blast of energy, in the form of a quasar.  You two represent that energy.  A light that escaped the darkness."

"So what are you getting at?" asked Alex.

Jason sighed. "I'd like to form a team with you both."

"Oh... Cool!"

"I think I'll go cook something for you both," said Luke. "To commemorate my joining of this guild."

"I'll come with you," said Alex following Luke out of the room.

"You sure are sweet talking them," said Mephiles.

"It's not sweet talk," said Jason. "I meant every word of it."
