Guild hall ka atmosphere hamesha se ek chaos ka blend tha, lekin aaj ka din… kuch alag tha. Tables hil rahe the, chhote missions ke papers hawa me ud rahe the, aur guild ke younger mages ek dusre se power spar kar rahe the, ek prakaar ka informal training ground ban gaya tha. Ye wo jagah thi jahan ek naye hero ya antihero ke liye stage set hoti thi.
Corner me, ek figure kursi pe recline karke so raha tha, poore hall ke shor ke beech, jaise duniya me sirf uska sukoon ka space ho. Naam: Thorn.
“Lazy… overpowered… aur sabse dangerous combination,”
ek member whisper karta tha. “Woh banda 50 dragons ko ek blink me mita sakta hai aur abhi bhi nap le raha hai.”
Thorn ke face pe ek halki si muskaan thi, par aankh band thi. Uske internal monologue me, duniya ka chaos ek background noise tha, ek annoyance jise ignore karna easy tha.
“Phir se ye guild hall ki drama shuru ho gaya… Aur mujhe yahan disturb karne ke liye koi reason dega… let them come,” Thorn sochta hai, casual laziness ke saath.
Guild Members Introduction
Gildarts Clive, humare guild ke strongest mage, hall ke center me khada tha, casually apne Crush magic se chhote debris ko control kar raha tha, aur ek wide smile ke saath observe kar raha tha.
“Huh… ye banda sota hua bhi sabko intimidate kar raha hai,”
Gildarts muskurata hai aur apni punch magic casually test karta hai.
Tab balcony pe ek aur figure khada tha — Laxus Dreyar, lightning aura ke saath, full readiness mode me.
“Hmph. Agar koi guild me overpowered hai, to test hona chahiye,”
uski awaaz me challenge aur pride dono tha. Lightning sparks air me crack karte the.
Mirajane, Levy, Elfman aur Gray hall me scattered the, sab apni respective abilities ke saath casual chaos me involved.
Levy scroll se data scan kar rahi thi, Elfman muscular strength test kar raha tha, aur Gray casually ice magic se air me floating daggers create kar raha tha.
Aur hall ke ek corner me, Natsu Dragneel, apni usual enthusiasm aur fiery energy ke saath, kisi chhote dragon ko chase kar raha tha.
“Hey! Tum phir se tables tod rahe ho!”
Gray chillata hai, aur Natsu haske dodge karta hai.
Guild Master: Mavis Vermillion
Hall ke center me, poore guild ke upar ek golden aura spread hoti hai. Mavis Vermillion, humari Guild Master, softly levitate kar rahi thi, calm aur composed.
Her eyes, sharp yet gentle, sab members ki activities observe kar rahi thi.
“Sab log… thoda control me raho. Ye chaos humari guild ka charm hai, par discipline bhi zaruri hai,”
Mavis ka voice gentle, par command clear.
Uski presence hall me ek anchor jaise feel ho rahi thi. Aur Thorn, despite his overpowered potential, ek corner me lazy pose me so raha tha, Mavis ko bhi notice hone ke bawajood disturb nahi kar raha tha.
Catalyst / Conflict
Achaanak, hall ka floor thoda tremor feel karta hai.
Windows shake hoti hain.
Sky outside crack hoti hai, aur ek shadow descend karta hai, massive aur intimidating —
Astrael, Devourer of Skies — ek Ancient Dragon.
“Is guild me ek mage hai jo gravity tod sakta hai…
Main usko test karunga,”
dragon ki voice pure hall me echo kar rahi hai.
Guild members panic me.
Tables aur chairs hilti hain.
Natsu automatically flames ignite karta hai.
Gray defensive stance le leta hai.
Thorn’s Reveal
Corner me, Thorn slowly stretch karta hai.
Aankh khulti hai.
Eyes glow subtly silver, hinting at his SSS+ Gravity powers.
“Finally… time to deal with this nuisance,”
Thorn thinks casually.
Dragon roar karta hai aur hall ke upar descend karta hai.
Thorn ki presence suddenly gravity field expand kar deti hai — floor thoda compress hota hai, air me pressure change hota hai.
He moves, aur ek subtle step me dragon ke motion ko neutralize kar deta hai.
Guild members shock me:
Gildarts wide-eyed, Laxus’ lightning paused, Gray aur Natsu frozen.
Mavis calmly floats forward:
“Thorn… tumhe ye handle karna hoga.”
Thorn, haath pocket me daal ke casually:
“Noise zyada hai. Let’s see…”
Ek snap, ek flick, aur Astrael completely freeze ho jaata hai — gravity compression aur Thorn ke control ke combination se.
Mavis-Thorn Dynamic
Mavis soft smile ke saath Thorn ke paas float karti hai
“Tum har baar late aate ho, phir bhi sabko protect kar lete ho. Ye… ek rare quality hai.”
Thorn slightly smiles:
“Hero entry delay me hi acchi lagti hai.”
“Aur hero, ya guild ka member…”
Mavis softly continues, “real strength apne ego ko control karna hai.”
Guild members whisper karte hain:
“Ye banda… sota hua bhi sabko protect kar raha hai…”
“Gravity King, kya ye sach me ek human hai?”
Thorn ke POV me:
“Guild ke liye ye lazy banda ka mask perfect hai… aur Mavis ke liye… ek aur story.”
Closing Hook
Hall me silence, sky me crackle, aur door black portal hint kar raha hai future threat ka.
“So… Gravity King finally revealed,”
ek distant voice echo karti hai.
Mavis Vermillion ka expression serious.
“Ye sirf shuruat hai… Thorn. Tumhara journey abhi start hua hai.”
And thus, chapter ends with tension, guild recognition, and Mavis-Thorn emotional connection set up for future adventures.
