This will not go well.

 

[blueayes]

The story will be divided in this form.

: Other character that aren't Log Horizon or A song of ice and fire.
: The Adventures both beyond the wall and in the kingdoms .
:The song of ice and fire characters.

Also remember that I will be messing with the canon so no complaining about how one character is hated and therefore deserves to suffer.

[Jaune of Arc]
His warm breath turned into a white mist in the cold weather,he'd gotten by well enough ……. Shure, he was forced to sleep outside more than he ever truly wanted and the only things he ate were what the Adventurers made when they fed everyone, but at least he had gotten by……. that was more than he ever thought possible for himself.

His grandfather had taught him what he could bout using a sword and shield but the old man was forced to stay in a wheelchair and he wasn't able to teach him anymore, he briefly looked down at his sheath that turned into a shield when he used it and remembered his grandfather's eyes when the old and told him he wanted him, his grandson to inherit their families heirloom.

That was the last time he saw his grandfather, he died the next day, but he died with a smile. That smile was probably the only reason he was still alive, how his grandfather looked at him and said that they would be in god hands before taking his late afternoon nap……

In all honestly, however, no one in his family had any faith in him, from eight sisters he was the only boy and the weakest, anyone worth their salt was already trained and had gone to one combat school or another.

He, on the other hand didn't, so why did she of the long years of war give him his weapons?

The sound of snow crunching underneath people's feet made him turn his head, it was a girl dressed in an outfit that made it seem she had chosen the wrong kind of clothing for this weather. She had long red hair and used a combination of gold for her sword and shield along with red for her clothes, there was some gold on the cloths too but it was mostly to show where the armor she wore was reinforced.

However as she approached Jaune could tell that her clothing was actually remodeled and he wondered if she had recently changed it, he was about to call out to her when more footsteps in the snow caught his attention.

It was an older man his eyes were fierce like those of a dog that had been kicked one too many times and now both mistrusted everyone and was willing to attack anyone, but that was the thing the way he moved was just like his grandfather had told him.

''You can tell when someone means harm just y the way they walk'' and this man he seemed to be there for the same reason he was, his long yellow coat was little help in the cold weather, but his grey cargo pants and black shoes seemed to be keeping him warm, even tho he only wore a white shirt underneath his yellow coat.

''Are we the last ones?'' the man asked.

''No no one has shown up yet.' Jaune answered him.

After that none of them said anything even as people began to gather around them and they were surrounded by people each one as different and as strangely cloth as the one before or after them.

Suddenly a voice began to be heard all around them. ''All of you have gathered here because you want to find a place-become Adventurers- heroes- Knights and whatever else. I'm not going to lie to you the road will be more difficult than any of you can imagine but if you stick to it, you will become greater than any of you could have ever imagined.''

''With that being said there are those among you they will find that this life isn't for you, good we need farmers-cooks-merchants and families, how can we eat without food- how can we have weapons without smiths and how can we have people without families.
To those of you that choose these or any other life thank you it is for people like you that we exist.''

''Your training starts now, even if some of you are already trained in the art of combat, you still need to learn how to work in teams with people you never met before, learn how to act in places and around people you have never encountered before like around a king or the house of a common man.''

''Your teams will be made of four people and each team will have an instructor. If that instructor finds that one of your team members doesn't do anything for the entire team, then that person will be removed.''

''Now your mission clearout the surrounding area around the city without causing harm to the people in the surrounding villages.'' the man said as his voice stopped echoing all around him.

Jaune felt his heart nearly stop, if he couldn't add anything to the team he would be removed from it, however, his thoughts stopped when a hand touched his head Jaune noticed a large heavy armored knight smiling at him.

''Alright you four you're with me, but before we start do any of you have a place to stay? If you don't take this.'' the knight said as he threw them a small shield that had an emblem on it.

''This is my guilds shield of arms, feel free to come over to the guild house. Now, why don't we all introduce each other, my name is Naotsugu.''

They all stood there not really knowing what to do and by all, well everyone around Jaune some people followed others which Jaune imagined was whoever picked them for whatever grout\team but other than that nothing else.

However the man, no his teacher just stood there smiling at them, that is until the man dressed in the yellow coat spoke.

''Why don't you help us break the ice instructor or should I call you Naotsugu?''

''Good idea, well my name is Naotsugu I am what you would call a Knight but people would call me a Tank for obvious reasons,''Naotsugu said as he pointed at his armor.

''Anyways just call me whatever you want, the truth is that a nickname is a badge of honor, hell you can be labeled stupid or idiot and it would still be a good thing.''

''And why is that '' the man in the yellow coat asked.

''Simple, no one expects an idiot or a stupid person to be really really smart in areas his team members aren't,'' Naotsugu answered the man with a rather savage smile.

The two looked at each other somehow contradicting their own natures, where the man who wore the yellow coat had a frown and eyes that seemed to pierce a person when he looked at them. Naotsugu had kind eyes that seemed welcoming and he wore a smile almost all the time he had been with them. Not only that the man had grey hair was in everyday clothes and had tan skin, while Naotsugu wore heavy armor- had dark black hair and light peach skin.

Finally, the two broke eye contact when the man closed his eyes. ''My name is Scar and I am from a place called Ishval so that would make me an Ishvalan, I can destroy anything I touch thru a process that would take too long for any of us to understand.'' Scar said as he introduced himself while lifting his right hand showing that it had a lot of tattoos with symbols in it.

''My name is Jaune and I can use both the sword and shield as you can see,'' Jaune said as he took his word out and made his sheath return to its shield form.

''You train with weighed down equipment.'' Scar said as he looked at Jaune.

''Yeah, t hey were a gift from my grandfather…….. And I always wanted to be a Huntsmen like him so I guess that's why I'm here.'' Jaune said as he introduced himself, but if he was honest he was wondering if he would drag his team back.

''Can I see your sword?'' Scar asked Jaune.

Maybe no one else noticed it but JAune swore the Naotsugus had seemed to tighten around something, even tho there was nothing he could hold onto, it was almost as if he was preparing to draw his own sword.

''The smell of blood and regret, your grandfather fought in a war or some kind of greater battle, there are scars from the times it hit solid material. Your grandfather gave you his most prized possessions.'' Scar said tho, to be honest, Jaune didn't know if it was a complete or if Scar was just looking down at him.

''My name is Pyrrha I want to become an Adventurer, I originally wanted to be a Huntsman but they don't seem to exist here.I can use polarity to move metal objects I also use the spear-short sword and a rifle all of which are my weapon, oh and I also this shield.'' Pyrrha introduced herself.

Jaune didn't' know why but she seemed to look directly at him as she spoke, it was almost as if she was trying to introduce herself to him. Jaune noticed that her green eyes seemed to stand out, along with her red hair considering that Pyrrha had pale skin.

''Good, so now that we all know each other go out there and kill some monsters, I'll be watching you three. Sorry, there was going to be one more of you but we ran out of people so it's just you three.'' Naotsugu said as he made showing motions.

''Just like that with no training or instructions?'' Scar asked.

''No. I'll tell you three the truth in the old days we would send you all alone and those that made it back would form their own teams, everyone else would be brought back by us or would go home. Learn to work together and come back or come back alone, that is up to you.'' Naotsugu said to Scar but now, however, his voice was hard and Naotsugus smile was gone.

None of them said anything after that they all just walked into the nearby forest that was honestly just outside the city, their steps crushing the snow as they walked and that's how it was between the three of them, no one dared to say a word they all just walked with nowhere to go.

That is until Scar spoke ''.......The smell of blood is in the air, it seems that someone is already fighting.''

''How do you know?''Jaune asked Scar.

''I've been around death long enough that I've learned how to pick up on the smell of both it and blood.'' Scar answered him before stopping ''We're being watched.''

Pyrrha immediately drew her sword from wherever she had kept it hidden, her shield was small but for some reason, it seemed that it was the perfect size for whatever she used it for. Scar took what looked like a boxing pose but his arms seemed to glow with electricity, whatever ability he had was no doubt active now.

And he well he did what he knew he used his shield to guard himself and prepared to swing his sword to whatever attacked. However no one attacked, nothing happened, it was like if the world had gone quiet Jaune couldn't hear anything not even the breathing of his teammates, he didn't know how but all of sudden they all began to walk forward slowly, like a signal was passed even tho none of them had really done anything.

Each step they took was slow but firm, almost as if they expected an attack that they hoped would never come, the rattling sound of something moving caught their attention and as they walked they were careful to make as little sound as possible.

They came to a small clearing where several natives were skinning a large bear, they wore bones on top of boiled leather that seemed to be some kind of armor, Jaune let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and noticed that both Pyrrha and Scar had relaxed a little.

That is until Scars hand ignited as he blocked a spear that had been thrown at his head, Scar spin around with the spear and when he stopped Jaune noticed that the weapon was already turned to dust.

Pyrrha turned her sword into the rifle she had mentioned earlier and prepared to fire at whoever had attacked them, Jaune noticed that she was about to pull the trigger and in all honesty he thought she would be doing the right thing but who knew maybe it was someone protecting their family, so he decided to try and talk things out.

''We are scouting out the area for monsters, we didn't know this village was here. We smelled the blood and heard the rattling, show yourselves so we can talk things out.'' Jaune said to whoever was out there.

''Then you should announce that you are coming, a simple hello would work.'' answer a man wearing a giant white skull on his head, somehow the thing made the man invisible hen he put it on.

''Sorry about that, we are.'' Jaune began.

''Checking out the area I know you just said that, there are no monsters here we already dealt with them…...tell me are you here to negotiate something or simply show that your dog can hurt my men when you give the order.'' the man said as he looked at Scar who had his hand stretched out in mid-air like if he was holding on to something.

''Tell your men to stop attacking so we can try and talk,'' Jaune answered the man.

''Stand down.'' the man said and immediately the sounds of snow moving away from them could be heard.

''Scar let him go, we aren't here to make enemies,'' Jaune said to Scar and silently hoped the older man would listen and it was only thru heavens grace that Scar obeyed him.

''Adventurers aren't really trusted around here so you can understand our hesitation with having you here, however like I said earlier we've dealt with the monsters in this area.'' the man said to Jaune.

''Okay then we will be leaving, oh there are more teams looking around so please try not to attack them,'' Jaune said to the man, the man however just looked at him and closed his eyes, everything about him from the way he stood to the way he lowered his head, hinted that he wasn't willing to continue the conversation.

So that was it they just left, none of them said a word, not to each other or the people ta had gather to see what was going on, Jaune was kind of taken back how they were able to get so close to them, but were able to keep enough distance that if they had to run there was enough space they would get away.

So that's how the rest of their day went just them walking around listening to the forest and running in to the natives, there weren't any monsters in the area, at least none that needed to be killed all that was left were the ones that knew that there was something dangerous and they decided to stay away.

As the sun began to set and they made their way back to the city Jaune saw Naotsugu smiling at them giving them a thumbs up, proved the Jaunes growing suspicion that this wasn't a test to see them in battle, no it was a test to see them react to each other.

As they walked up to Naotsugu Sacar suddenly said. ''You were following us.''

''I did say I was going to keep an eye on you three and you all passed with semi-pale colors but you scored just enough point to qualify as a team.Scar your training made you notice whatever was around you long before the rest of your team, bt that stile, attack first needs some improvement.''

''Pyrrha the entire time I noticed that you were keeping an eye at anything that might attack both from a long distance and from your teams rear, Jaune you have an eye for positioning your team right where they have to be and being able to speak to people, however, you need a lot of training,'' Naotsugu said to them pointing out their flaws and strong points.

That night Jaune took the first hot bath he had since he first arrived, this new world was strange but he knew hunters trained in dangerous places, his sisters told him all about it, how their schools made them fight Grimm and spar with their classmates.

He closed his eyes and let the feeling of the hot water take him away, he didn't allow himself to wonder how his family would react to him missing or how his mother would break down crying, maybe his father would drink himself to sleep, like the day Jaunes grandfather died.

Jaunes dad never drank, not even when everyone else did.

''If you stay in here too long you will end up passing out.'' Scar said as he lowered himself into the bath.

Jaune didn't say anything he just kept his eyes closed for a long moment just enjoying the hot water,

''Scar we're in a guild house, a place only Adventurers are known to be able to own,'' Jaune said.

''Yeah and with it, we now carry a heavy burden, the people expect us to both protect and guide them through hard times……. You've seen the same thing as me, the Adventurers outright dismiss the fact that they are nobles and simply continue their lives along the people.''

''However this isn't true, everyone looks up to them, merchants look to even the lowest Adventurer as if he was some kind of noble or person with power and they should from the stories people tell, they can do just about anything'' Scar said.

''Not only that, we're all expected to protect kings and even be able to speak to princesses if we want to. Imagine the castles-balls -elegant dinners and special armors we will see.'' Pyrrha added.

Jaune slammed himself into the bath completely caught off by Pyrrha's voice.

''Relax I'm in the room next to you.'' Pyrrha said before adding'' and yes I'm taking a bath.''

''Would you like me to wash your hair?'' a woman asked Jaune.

Jaune nearly jumped, however, he quickly turned to look at Scar and saw that he already had someone washing his hair for him, he hesitated for a moment and tried to calm himself down, after all, he was completely naked and from where the woman was, she could see everything.

The only thing Jaune felt was a slightly cold shampoo touching his head before he melted into the woman's hands, she had the hands of an angel, if Jaune was honest he didn't know what to do anymore, the only thing he wanted to do was prove he could be a huntsman,but they didn't exist here and now he was training to be an Adventurer.

Adventurers fought monsters and helped people the same thing Huntsman did so maybe he could prove himself here, still none of that mattered right now all Jaune cared about was how good the woman's hands were.

However, when the woman stopped she kissed Jaune on the forehead and whispered to his ear that if he ever needed company for the night all he had to do was say so. Jaune felt his brain short circuit at that moment and the woman left giggling.

''Sweet words strong venom, that woman would have killed you if you were alone.'' Scar said.

''What do you mean?''Jaune asked him.

''No one becomes so physically weak in any woman's hands, the shampoo had pion in it. It seems that we are still being trained, tell me Pyrrha are you awake or do we have to kill whoever is over there?''Scar asked.

''So it just has to be a woman no matter who it is and he falls heads over heels for her,'' Pyrrha said her voice sounded irritated for some reason. ''But yes the shampoo has some poison in it, it's not a lot but enough that if you're exposed to it you'll develop resistance to it.'' Pyrrha answers Scar.

''We should leave, there is supposed to be a warm meal expecting us.'' Scar said as he got up from the water.

They walked into what seemed like a giant hall where a small table was set, the room was dark with only the area around the table being llt. There were four plates and enough food to feed them all three times over.

''We thought it was best for you three to get to know each other better and to learn how it is to b around one another, you'll meet the rest of the guild tomorrow,'' Naotsugu said as he sat down, he no longer wore his armor , now he was dressed in a gray shirt and black pants.

''So dig in.''

They did just that and slowly all three of them were throwing themselves at the food like it might get up and run away, Scar tore into the shrimp-fish-soda and every type salad around him. Pyrrha she was waist deep in ribs - she drank down both the yellow and pudding, while both the wine and turkey legs somehow vanished, one moment they were there the next they were gone. Jaune for his part he was eating all of the pizza-grape soda-cake-crawfish and burgers.

All the while Naotsugu smiled as he ate his soup and drank his beer smiling, thinking to himself this was his team.

One by one the three slowly walked into the living room and fell onto either the couch or on the floor, none of the three could or even dared to walk up the stairs to the rooms they all had waiting for them, they were just so full.

Naotsugu simply smiled and began to put blankets on all of them, the others weren't going to help him, these three were his problem. People would normally complain about him leaving a teenage girl with an older man and a teen boy, but the sad reality was that if she couldn't defend herself she wouldn't survive.

He looked at the three sleeping forms and wondered if Jaune would still have the same hopeful innocent look, if Scar would still be as arrogant and cold, Naotsugu looked at Pyrrha and briefly wondered what her story was, the girl looked at Jaune as if she wanted to throw herself at him, yet something was holding her back. The girl had a troubled look, yet she put her feelings aside when the moment of action came, this team if it held would be an alright one between Scar and Pyrrha, Jaune would eventually be better trained.

Scar was an ex-soldier and Pyrrha whatever she was, the girl was obviously heavily rained, the nea- perfect combination of experience and raw talent, however, neither one of them was a leader and that's where Jaune came in. The boy had what it took but it was covered in a wall of self-doubt and a lifetime of experience being the underdog, not to mention he wasn't really trained, he held onto his sword and shield, but that was it.

Still, he positioned his team where they needed to be, took advantage of their strengths, planned ahead even as things were happening around him and put himself in between his team and whatever danger was in front of them, whenever he did something that he himself didn't agree with.

Naotsugu looked at them and closed his eyes they were going to need the last member, someone that can attack in a long range or cult at least add something to the team, Pyrrha was both midrange and close range, Scar is strictly close range but he could be given a gun and that way taking full advantage of his experience as a soldier.

Jaune, it was easy to know what the boy would be in the future a close-range fighter ither a tank like himself or something else, either way, it would be something close range. The team needed a healer or someone that could use magic just in case.

Naotsugu rubbed his eyes he didn't think things thru, when he chose to mentor a team from where he stood none of them showed any skill of knowing how to cook anything, hell boiling water was needed if they were sleeping out in the cold and from what eye witnesses said all of his team was seen sleeping near areas where either lots of people were gathered, had a hot wall near them.Scar had avoided this by simply erasing the wind and somehow didn't die from the lack of air, that must be because of his strange abilities.

Still, Naotsugu couldn't help but return to the dining room, the truth about this whole thing was in reality something…….In all honesty Naotsugu didn't like it but it needed to be done, there were monsters running around and not the kind that had fangs and claws, people were running around somewhere simply living their lives, others they were trying to start their own empires, conquering already existing ones, hell some of them went as far as to start building kingdoms inside dungeons.

It wasn't that they were doing anything bad, but from what the Americans said the people of this world didn't match the Adventurers in power, that didn't mean that they were defenseless, there were magic swords and spells.

In essence, this new generation would be nothing more than a police force and search and destroy teams. Now even before the teams even began to form the various guilds decided to do something that was both cruel and effective.

A team that had no real understanding of how things were done by the Adventurers and the kingdoms, another team that was composed of adventurers, it was no mystery that a lot of people had already killed before, that was their job. The last team would be a mixture of the last two,however, this one would deal with people from the other side of the wall, they were meant for delicate situations.

I was cruel because they would be sending these kids out into the world with no real knowledge about how things were done, things were drastically different from city to city or village to village.

The new teams that would be sent out would have to be made of people that held morals similar to the Adventurers own, however that same team needed to be diverse enough that they all held skills that could help each team member, but it needed to be functional enough that if something happened the team members could rely on themselves to get out of trouble.

There were times that no one could ever reach you and save you.

The Adventure teams that would be sent out was meant to deal with any monster that might be running around, technology- magick and more were somethings that could be traded only the adventurers could make any kinds of deals that dealt with these things and should the new group promised anything, that was their problem they held no such authority.

The last group, the mixed group this was the dangerous one if Naotsugu had to put it simply his as an execution team. Naotsugu stopped himself as he found that somehow he was about to lift up the bottle of wine, he knew what the guilds were planning or better said preparing for.

There was no way that any group of people could be kept safe if a hostile group was near them and a lot of the Adventurers didn't have what it took to kill a person and live with that guilt, in essence, this was the beginning of an army.

Naotsugu looked at the wine bottle and took one deep drink and wondered who he had to add to the team, it would have to be someone that hadn't been able to function in one of the other teams and that was already a handicap, considering it spoke wonders about the person's character.

Brandon Stark, felt like he was falling... no he felt as if he was somehow flying, but he didn't understand how or why.

With every moment the lingering sound of the wind became louder and louder until they were an incomprehensible ball of noise that didn't leave and threatened to drive him insane.

Then just like that, the voices and the sounds were gone.

He remembered seeing a man and a woman, they were naked and seemed to be playing, but he couldn't remember what else.

"The things I do for love." Brandon heard and he felt his breath catch in his chess, in a way that stopped him from even screaming.

Brandon's eyes widened as he was pulled to the distant land in the shadows and saw a city engulfed in war, creatures and people fought of twisted monsters, all so a small force could kill whatever magical abomination controlled the monsters.

Brandon felt his eyes burn, as what looked like a star suddenly ignited itself and just like that, the city by the shadow was no more. All that stood was another city, still covered in war.

Brandon saw a crow with three eyes look to him and as the animal spoke, he felt himself be pulled by the world.

"Fly." It's said, as the animal opened its strangely formed mouth.

Brandon saw the ships of the Ironborn, sail back to their islands each ship held what looked like a small mountain of gold.

The world spun and he saw a small fight, between the Ironborn and a lot of strangely cloth people. The world spun again and the people told the Ironborn to stand on top of a scale made of two cut trees.

Every single person was eight and their weight was not equaled in gold, no they were repaid with twice the amount of gold. For they did this twice.

In the land of Sothorios, the wild man and beast men now worship, the strangely cloth people and red knights.

Brandon could see the corpses of several creatures that nearly made him scream, they were wrong, they were twisted informs they shouldn't be, but something told Brandon that this was they were.

Brandon realised that the world was nolonger spinning and that he was just falling a gain.

He flew past the great wall in the north and passed the various magical kingdom's that exited in it.

He saw how monsters of all kinds fought for control, he saw the White Walkers fight against green creatjres, that screamed waaaa,, as they charged at the army of the dead.

He saw the Giants sit and talk amongst themselves, in their ancient tung, he could not understand.

Finally Brandon found himself at the edge of the world and saw the crow call to him once again.

"Fly." It said, as Brandon saw the corpses of dead seers impaled by strange black spikes.

However even as the spikes came closer and closer Brandon could see that even in the heart of winter and in the edge of the world, something was fighting.

As a spike was about to pierce his heart, Brandon woke gasping for air.

 

[blueayes]

Yes they Nuked the land asshai.

 

[blueayes]

The cold wind of the north clawed it's way into his room only kept away by the blankets he had on him and fire that was light nearby.

His pet wolf watched over him, like a knight protecting his Lord.

Brandon tried to remember what had happened and why did he fined himself in his bed, he knew he wasn't in it a moment ago.

He remembered his strange dream and for some reason, he could remember falling but that was it.

Brandon tried to get up, yet when he tried to move his feet he found that they wouldn't answere. Brandon's heart began to race, not fully understanding what was happening, he felt his vision blur, as tears began to fall from his eyes, as he slowly realized he could not move.

All of a sudden a ball of fur thru itself at him and it's warm furs- gentle breathing and weight somehow all convined in to a near perfect hug.

His wolf was comforting him.

Brandon attempted to think of something else, anything else just to not think or feel what he was thinking and feeling, just so he didn't feel so ......so crippled.

He remembered his dream and the sight of strange short harry men, with strong bodies, meatiolng others simellar to themselves.

They met on an island where the only light was that of lanterns that burned whale fat. They met with people their same size or shorter, be remembered how they set sail to the nearby lands and dug the precious metals from the land.

Brandon felt his heart slow and his tears slowly stop coming even if he was still breathing heavily.

He let his mind wonder just a bit, there was no one here to comfort him, no one human anyways.

He remembered the greate ships made of strange materials set sail into the unknown seas, whether they returned or not he did not know, yet he wondered if they would find anything at all.

Finally Brandon felt himself under some self control, that he finally stoped criying.

"Guards!" Brandon called, but there was no answere.

He called to.a servant again there was no and were, finally he called to his personal friend and waited however there was no answer.

Brandon felt himself break down inside, whatever walls he had eagerly set up were falling. However a thought came to him, he didn't like it, in fact he hated it.

The high king had come, there for everyone was attempting to him, no wonder his personal friend had ignored him. He was being forced to be the high prince's friend.

Brandon made sure to remind himself, to have the boy disciplined so he never left his side again.

Brandon exhaled and gently hugged his wolf, he would be left alone until someone decided to check up on him.

Unbeknownst to Brandon however events had occurred while he had been asleep, few people remained that were his relatives and those that did were far to occupied or to young to fully understand the events that had been set in motion.

 

[blueayes]

A maid came in after a while, she was old much older then the ones he knew. The woman carried a tray filled with warm water yet, the moment her eyes met his own she called several guards, telling them to get the master.

An old man walked into Brandon's room and checked to see how he was feeling, unfortunately the moment Brandon told the man that he couldn't move his legs, the man did not show any hint of surprise.

Brandon realized why just by looking at the man, they had expected him to die and if that wasnt the case, they never expected him to walk again.

The master told him about the events that had occurred, how his half brother John Snow had already left with his uncle Bejamin Stark in order to join the nights watch.

How his father and two sisters left with the high king and how his mother and two of her most trusted guards followed after them.

Right now the only family he had was a two year old younger brother and his older brother Robb Stark to a company him.

No he Brandon knew he was soon, the job of a Lord was a difficult one and the time his father spent with him was precious indeed but it was far between and his baby brother he was just an infant.

Brandon could only cry, even as he restrained himself so he wouldn't appear weak, something he ultimately failed at.

Shiroe the leader of the Adventurer Gud Log Horizon sat near his table copiying the various maps he had aquiered, updating and marking the various dungens-castles -kingdoms boarders - where the monsyers now made their homes and where the varius people now lived.

He rubbed his eyes, he felt exhausted he had been working almost none stop, his various friends and contacts had been equally ocupide stabilizing a decent echonomy and organizing all of the chaos.

It was obius that whatever had happened had brought them and others to this new world. Thankfully the Adventurers had done something like this before and that was way maid this situation even more painful.

Any hope for the Adventurers of ever returning to earth was gone, still more then half didn't want to go back and the other half had started making new lives and leaving their old ones behind.

He stopped writing when word had reached him from one of the Americans, they had whipped the slate clean.

According to him, they had found somethin ....... Something evil, something that was better to never be spoken of, less it's mention somehow reach the abominations ears.

Shiroes tired expression hardened, what could cause an Adventurer to not want to fight, out of fear.

Adventurers could simply respawn, so whatever the Americans had found, must have been something best left behind undisturbed.

" I find it hard to belive,, that even after knowing and seeing what we can do, you would still try something like this." Shirley said as several bodies fell from the ceiling.

All of them were dead, all of them commited suicide when they realized they were about to be captured.

A single injured man? Stood in front of him.

"Devil behind glasses, I know of you and the power you hold. Your brothers in the land of shadows have done what should not be possible, we can not, we will not let you......"The man fell dead.

"It seemed we have made quite a few enemies." Shiroe said to a small figure that dropped from the ceiling, Akatsuki his friend and personal guard.

"My Lord one managed to get away..."Akatsuki hesitated to say something else.

".....My Lord he looked like you." She told Shiroe.

Shiroe simply felt his eyes harden with rage, if there was one thing no adventurer would forgive was the stealing of ones own face, their facial appearance was one of the few things that reminded them of who the once were.

It was almost by instinct, but Shiroe sent out the warning to every adventurer he knew, instructing to alert everyone else.

 

[blueayes]

The alert was picked up by everyone Shiroe knew and spread to everyone they knew, it wasn't long before every adventurer was out searching for the injured assassin.

They found him a half an hour later, torn apart by a man who used twin swords attached to chains that were strapped to his arms.

A small boy claiming to be the man's son, said that the man had attacked them and that they had only defended themselves.

The corpses face began to change, no longer was it a broken bloody mess, no longer was it even male. It was a woman, a dead woman now, her body was nothing more than loosely held together peace of meat.

Like it or not, this incident sent out a ripple effect amongst the people. Even tho the monsters may not be able to set foot in the towns,, there were those that only wanted to do harm.

No one dared to attack the Adventurers, there was no reason to, however, that didnt mean some one something wouldnt try. This meant securety meeded to be strengthen and so many that held experience in the art of combat, the chose not to become adventurers began to patrol all on their own.

They called themselves the Free Guard, for no one payed them, they simply did this because they didn't want tho lose those they held dear. Perhaps it was their reluctance to lose what little of their worlds came with them, or the simple desire of being able to control something but the Free Guard members grew quickly.

Slowly a kind of normality passed, yet again humanity survived by adapting and overcoming it's environment

So just like that the days passed and the Adventurers organized a small event, it wasn't anything dangerous. .... Atleast by their standards.

All the participants had to do was reach a large tower made of ice, built by combining the environment with magic and reach the top of the tower, either from the inside of the tower , climing up the tower sides or simply flying to the top.

All the while overcoming any obstacles that had been set up to make things a little more interesting more than one Adventurer would act as a guardian stopping the participants from reaching the top.

The higher the participants went, the stronger the Adventurers they would encounter.

This would be a kind of team building experience, but it was also meant to test the teams nature. How, the teams were encouraged to stop each other from reaching the highest point of the tower.

This also helped anyone with a good set of skills, but hadn't fit in any team, find people they could work with, however loosely that might be.

Shiroe was left inspecting paperwork documents from several kingdom's had come in. Many simply wanted their products and get their respective territories known by the people.

Ever since the insedent two days ago, communication between the kingdom's had become a main priorwty and that meant he was once again stuck doing paperwork.

He read the report Silver Sword had sent in, an agreement between the Free people and the mountain tribes had been made along with the kingdomSilver Sword protected.

In exchange for the tribes not to tell anyone about the kingdom, aswell as not taking anyone against their will and providing help when times of war came. Silver Sword would provide food- water - warm cloths and shelter during the long winters and the tribes times of need.

It was a simple enough exchange, except just like every other place more town's and creatures had shown up and so the deal was stretched out to mean that any group protected by silver sword would all agree to the same condithions.

[bigreader]

So will Pyhrra awaken Juanes aura in this universe?

 

[Altena27]

And so Kratos and Atreaus whent through the bifrost?

 

[blueayes]

And so Kratos and Atreaus whent through the bifrost?

Click to shrink...

Yep

 

[blueayes]

Silver Sword was stretched thin in more ways than one, fortuanally the guild had some help, but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't much.

First there was the situation with the economy, primarily the fact that everyone had their own version of it.

Some used silver- others paper bills and the grand majority used gold. Then there was the thing that made the currency truly matter, it was the fact that it had to be usable in the other ares.

At the end things came down to a strange mix Silver would be the metal that was most expensive considering how rare it was, gold would remain the standard and paper bills were more like I owe you slips.

It was a confusing thing, some monsters that died left gold floating around them, but now the monsters corpses didnt simply vanish.

This meant that people could find gold just littering the forest or the sorrounding ice covered lands and mountain's.

There was one major issue now, however, with every new species came a new territory. People that just wanted to keep their families safe, flooded near the areas the Guild and the knights of the kingdom protected.

Some even had their own defense force.

For the most part people kept to themselves, but there are people that only live to do bad things........ and even if the knights or the guild tried to stop them.

The people would eventually take matters into their own hands, a man that stole food was left to starve near the wall that separated the lands everyone showed up in, with the lands on the other side.

There is no food there for miles.

A woman that cheated on her husband was taken to a Brothel and. .....

The examples went on and on, the problem was that nearly everyone agreed tho some punishment were extreme, they kept the crazies in check.

Religion was a big issue every guild- town- kingdom and village had to deal with, however somehow an unspoken agreement was made.

Don't judge us until you understand how- what and why we worship and we leave you alone.

Things were going as smoothly as possible all things considering, the guilds now had apprentices from the many displaces people that came with them.

The only reason the Adventurers were handling things so smoothly, was considering they all had to do something like this before and that meant people looked to them for guidance and some even went as far to truly to a few adventurers.

Even tho those very adventures said they weren't Gods, people did it regardless, their reasons were simple.

Adventurers can summon creatures that even skilled mages have difficult controlling- no adventurer stays dead- adventurers repetedlt fight of creatures that even powerful beeings would die if they fought and so on.

More than once people would take deadly I'll family members and considering the amount of healing magic learned already, they left with a family member that was in perfect health.

More than once they considered simply not helping people, but those eyes filled with desperation, broke most adventurers hearts.

Now a new problem had come up, someone had attempted to assassinate Shiroe, the leader of the Guild Log Horizon, when word got out figures were pointed elsewhere.

Things were only stopped when a new guard was made with people of every village and kingdom, still this was only temporary tensions were rising and eventually there would be a confrontation.

Whether it was the cave people and the mountain men, against the Dwarphs that now inhabit the mountains.

The people on the other side of the wall that want access to the forest that have plenty of food and animals or the many kinds of species that now live next to each other.

Things were not going to settle down for a long time, not until people became comfortable with their new situation.

 

[Altena27]

And so the southron ambition start to aim north.

 

[blueayes]

Inside one of the many Work Houses where the Adventurers- the Free people and other individuals gather to find work for the day week or month, the loud voices of several people could be heard.

Exitment filled the various occupants as they anxiously awaited for the chance to prove their skills and know their ranks.

The work houses we'e just old abandoned buildings that had been cleaned out and new furniture put in.

In all honesty it was amazing just how quickly the work houses had changed. They all had their own unique nature to them considering how people tended to gather, perhaps it was the kinds of people that gathered or simply the way people act around one another but the work houses now belonged to certain groups.

There was the merchant house, where merchants- farmers- knitters- fishermen and beast tamers gather along those that sold medicine- weapons- technology and magic tools that people used.

They all gathered to see what was the over all price of things and to secure contracts that gareteed them work for a while.

There was the pleasure hose, one could find everithing they wanted to simply enjoy themselves there. It was unique to the other houses considering it actually was several buildings loosely put together.

Sleeping/getting away from things- whores- drinks and foods of all kinds and so on was all apart of it. There was even a daycare that had several minatour and werewolf guards, no one would harm the children.

There were more of ours like the militant house where knights and all kinds of regimented groups gathered.

However the most common of all was the work house where all kinds of people gathered. The name remained simply because no one knew what to call it, so no one bothered to change it.

Scar drank from a large glass, his beer was as cold as the outside, he didn't care about all the noise , no his mind was consented on other things.

He and his team weren't able to greet the rest of the members of the guild considering the assassination attempt and just how cought up everyone was in tightening security.

Then there was the other thing, they were still one member short, supposedly a team is four people, so they were already handycaped from the beginning.

Cheers filled the room as a woman with long red hair, wearing an armored bikini defeated a centaur in an arm wresseling contest.

The woman raised her cup high, celebrating her victory before punching a man who have her but. The woman said something along the lines of. "If you want to have me, you have to beat me." or something.

Scar simply ignored it all and continued with his drink, to think that something like this could exist, almost seemed like a dream.

Looking around Scar finally let himself realize this was his life now and he needed to learn how to live it.

He saw a woman with long brown hair and pointed brown wolf ears drink her beer, as a man with silver hair counted his coins wondering how much he would end up spending.

A woman that was completely covered in fur hugged tightly a young man who tried to resist the urge to look at the cat woman's large, nearly exposed breast.

Small children ran around wearing odd armies, each of them use some form of magic.

The walls showed papers with work that needed to be done. There were several men and who had at their sides woman that were with child, the woman's bellies were large and showed that they were soon to be do, to give birth.

Still Scar could smell it, the combination of iron-milk and more.

Things around this area were peaceful, but that didn't mean it was the same everywhere else.

There was a reason why people were gathering to these areas and it's wasn't the food and warm houses.

Scar wondered if his two companions would someday have to kill, they were both so innocent,...... no he couldn't think that way they were now adventurers in training.

One day they would have to kill.....would they be hunted by their actions or would they jump head first into senseless killing, somuch so that they actually liked it.

Still Scar drank his beer and enjoyed the sounds of everyone loudly laughing.

 

[blueayes]

 

[blueayes]

The sounds slowly mixed in with one another, even as someone began to play their gitar lazyle at first like if someone had forced them to it.

Yet the music began to speed up and gain more rhythm as other instruments bound in with their own unique sounds.

Their owners enthusiasm seemed to mix in with the music itself and added to everyone's enjoyment.

Unfortuanally for Pyrrha she couldnt fully enjoy the situation, the reason was simple she somehow found herself in a drinking contest with her partner Jaune and a pair of brothers and their dates.

At first she thought they were drinking some strange flavored juice, then she realized her mistake or better said she heard her mistake.

A group of construction workers said how amazed they were, considering that everyone in the contest had drunken four cups each.

The drink was a kind of style alcohol, you didn't feel it while you were sitting down but the moment you stood up, it was lights out.

Finally the first cup was placed on the table and one of the two brothers, placed the mug upside down saying he had had enough, before he and his girlfriend went up stairs to the room they had rented for the night.

Pyrrha felt her heart grow in fear as her cup was filled again and again and again until the other one left.

Finally she could put this behind her she thought, atleast the drinks didn't have any effect on her she though, nothing would happen she thought.

She thought wrong, the moment she stood up, was the moment the world began to spin, the last thing she saw was Jaune stretching his hand out to catch her.

Scar heard the two bodies falling even before they stood up, stupid kids didn't know how to drink and yet they tried to drink Dwarphs under the table.

He managed to get people away from the two drunk idiots by showing his guild badge and showing theirs, somehow this granted him a room to put the two.

So he carried them upstairs, they both stank of alcohol, one room, one bed and two idiots, if anything happens that was their problem, they were at the age for thece kinds of mistakes.

Few know about the housing situation, primarily the fact that they have relent internal heating, the thing is people's body temperatures rise when drunk.

However, the armor Jaune and Pyrrha wore is weighted down for added strength, so from time to time people would hear the sounds of something hitting the floor.

One peace of armor at a time, until the only thing their owner wore was the cloths underneath and soon after not even that.

So the day went on until it was closing time, was it the fact that people didn't have anything better to do at the moment or the simple fact that gambling was easy.

Regardless, people began to place bets on who was making all the noise one by one, the rooms were left, until only those paid for the night or more remained.

For the rest of the night, no one would speak of the two teens that walked down the stairs with bright red faces that couldn't even look at eachother. Perhaps it was out of sheer respect for what was clearly the twos first time or the simple fact that many gave the young man thumbs up, for his conquest.

Regardless of what the reason was the results were the same, gossip spread like wild fire and a wise wolf ended up with a sack filled with gold and silver.

 

[bigreader]

Unique not unic.
Thumbs up, not this up.
You really need a spellchecker.

 

[blueayes]

Speech change

A small council, or should it be said a small gathering of men, sat drinking, several fires light all around them pprovided the light for what would otherwise be a completly dark building.

They compared notes resent and ancuent, each man searched for words- markungs- actions and so on, jut to find any connection to the strange events that were occurring.

Sailors spoke of greate battles they borewhitnes to and a few who for whatever reason had even btought back drawings of what saw.

They said that the fidh men were at war with creatures that had the bottoms of fish and the top halfs of men.

They spoke of knights that lived for the thrill of battle, these very men armed the sailors with strang machines that spat lead. They jurnied into uncharted waters and fought of creatures that men have never seen.

They spoke of a mad captain, who started with but a single ship and bow controled thousands.

"They care not for land, for their kingdom is in the sea." They said.

As the men searched for whatever they were looking for, they spoke of the events currently going on.

Ned Stark had sent his two daughter's back to the north with their mother, only after he had killed his oldest daughters wolf. I was a small thing, more of a dog than a wolf.

The queen had not cared, infact she semmed to be amused, considering that the Lord of the North now saw his old friend the King with eyes of suspicion.

However the King Rober Barathean, had little choice, the youngest daughter had hurt the prince and that was a serious crime.
Even if the monster deserved it, it was ither kill the girl or kill the animal that did the deed or something far- far worse.

The creacks made by the wood breaking under the heat of the fire semed welcomed by the men, who somehow understood that this simple act of mercy would undoubtedly bring problems in the near feature.

Still the men worked and began to dig thru information brough in from other lands.

The Dothraki had been attacked by a group of five people, a woman that wore a servant atire and fought with two shields- a man that wore a strang green colored suit, tgat covered him drom head to toe and fought with two swords.
A woman that used a pair of metal gauntlets and wore almost no cloths, a girl with a massuve hammer that seemed to have an over welming amount of energy and a young man that used a pair of small daggers that shot fire.

This news was interesting, for they had attacked the Dothraki main city and had emerged victorious.

What could wield shuch power, that even some of the most feared savages would be defeated by simply five people, no five monsters.

The mens eyes turned to the shadow and remembered what their spys had said, a city where half beast- men and magical creatures had suddenly comeforth.

They spoke of peace, but when they saw what was happening in the city by the shadow, they brought diwn a star and eraced everithing, no trace was left of the acursed city, not even the oily black stone.

The new city that glittlers like a star now stands betwen the lands where the light touches and the blacknes of the shadow.

The men spoke of how the Iron islands had suddenly come into power of somuch gold that they now had the metal simply laying around, some even whent asfar as to decorate their ships with it.

Its said that the Lannisters now turn their eyes to the lands of the south, to the cursed lands, wgere a city has suddenly comeforth. The queen there is said to be very beuriful, yet she is also said to have long black hair and on her head a pair of fox ears and a long black fox tail.
Her eyes are said to glitter, further adding to her elegance and beuty, but most of all, it is said that more of those strange creatures call that strange kindom home.

Something the men seached, they could not they would not accept that they had failed, there had to be something,.

Yet the one thing that they came up with was the twin tailed comet, tgat now flew in the sky and the strange dreams they all now had, whenever they slept.

Gods of a kinds, fought eachother for dominion of the worlds and if any tried to force the mortals of the world strang beings stood against them.

Finally the men were all exausted, they could find nothing and atlast they looked to the last peace of information. The lands beyond the north had suddenly become green and all sorts of animals now ramed the lands, aswell of several other creatures that now held their own kingdoms.

Sadly it was their closest place to investigate, so the younges and one of their more trubleing members would be sent to investigate, if he died then so be it, if he lived even half baked information was better than nothing.

 

[blueayes]

The early morning was cold and if one was to call it freezing they wouldn't have been wrong, still, Pyrrah found herself walking through the rapidly growing town, there was no reason for it, not an important one at least., yet her mind was filled with thoughts about the night before.

"What had happened?" "Had they really done the act?" And "How should the two-act around each other?" But her mind always returned to the same question over and over again. "Should I tell him about, the him I knew before?"

These thoughts ran circles inside her mind, so much so that Pyrrah was completely unable to get a single moment of sleep the night before, so she ended up simply laying on her bed for the entire night, just staring at the ceiling of her room. At the end she decided to walk around the town, simply to try and clear her mind.

It was amazing but the town was perhaps truly becoming a city, not just in name but in actual size and shape, the city had not stopped people continued to arrive following the many lights that looked like stars from far away. Wagons that had entire families sleeping inside them, taking advantage of the heating built for the people that recently arrived.

Merchants had taken turns in order to maximize profit, those that had their stores open during the day closed allowing those that wanted or had the means to take advantage of the fact that not everyone slept or had the luxury to sleep during the night.

As Pyrrah walked and listened to the world around she noticed that right before her eyes ice began to form around several of the building roofs, then she began to hear a woman's voice singing a song she had never heard before and Pyrrah found herself walking towards the direction where the woman's voice came from.

(I do not own this song and yes it has been changed "All around me are familiar faces, worn ought places, worn ought faces. Bright and early their daily races, going nowhere their tears see filling up their glasses. With no expression, I want to drown my sorrow, for there's no tomorrow, no tomorrow."

The voice belonged to a young woman that had long brown hair a fluffy long brown tail and a pair of would ears with the same shade of brown fur covering them. She had a thin figure and compared to the man with silver hair she looked almost like a child in comparison to his elder looking appearance and hight.

She wore a black coat over a long green dress and as for reasons Pyreah could or better said would never understand, the young woman seemed to almost sparkle last the sun began to rise in the background.

The woman ears moved at the sound of Pyrrahs armored boots crushing the snow as she walked. "My my, if it isn't the maiden who's lovemaking shook the tavbern ceiling. I have to say your sex calade made me quite a bit of money." The woman said as she looked at Pyrrah.

Pyrrah felt her face heat up at the woman's remarks but don't the less she looked at the woman's small figure and noticed something few people would ever see. The woman had positioned herself in a way, that if the matter was needed, the would be able to throw herself into battle in a second.

The fact that she had done so, in the time Lyrrah had walked up to them and she had greeted Pyrrah, spoke about the woman's experience and the incredible amount of danger she presented at the moment.

"Ah, I smell the sent of a maiden in love and the sense of doubt with a hint of shame mixed in." The woman said as her bare feet touched the snow, how Pyrrah hadn't noticed the woman was on a wagon was perhaps sighs of how distracted she really was.

"Now what? Does he like me? Will, he bore of me? Am I just a loose woman and such thoughts perhaps? The woman said as she began to circle Pyrrah like a would looking for an opening to strike at its prey.

" Perhaps it's a carefully guarded secret you wish to keep from him? A husband to be? A lover or is it something that happened because of the night before, heavens only knows how many different kinds of people are in the world now."

"Those from the past, others from other worlds, some from the future and people that never were." The woman's said as she walked back toward the man was with her, he remained seated in the wagon, not really bothering to care about their conversation.

"How?" Pyrrah began only for the woman to cut her off.

"I'm Holo the Wise Wolf, a simple case of dimensional transfer won't frighten someone such aas me, however this one, on the other hand, was scared of his boots, but for reasons that don't involve dying." Holo said to Pyrrah.

"I'll take a while guess, that boy you slept with, you wanted to be with him but he died and after you found yourself in this world, you became close and fulfilled your desire to be with him. Now you're wondering if you should reveal the past you two had or never had."

"Something around that line?" Holo asked Pyrrah.

"I...I died and then I was here, but the him now, is the him who... Who I met before we started to know each other." Pyrrah struggled to speak her mind, but for some reason, the words wouldn't come out properly.

"I see." The Holk said as she walked up to the silver hair man state don the wagon, oddly enough she had begun to mover her hips seductively, while her tail and hair made her every move seem as if they were graceful, somehow all of this made her feminine nature come out more.

"The him you speak of is mother man that isn't the man you know now, they may have started the same but they have different roads. One you learned and fell in love with, the other you are beginning to know and have slept with."

"The question here isn't which is the real him, but which man do you stay with. The man you died in front of or the man you are projecting your feelings towards." Holo said before the silver-haired man, placed both hands on her waist and carried her on to the main.

Holo gave a playful scream and her face covered in a bright smile but the man began to speak long before she had stopped laughing.

"I'll ask you a few questions, is that okay with you." Tha man said as he looked at Pyrrah who just looked at him.

"What do you feel for this man? The truth is we might never go back to our worlds and if what you say is try, well your dead in your original world. The you from there is gone."

"Second, do you think you can live with the memory of the man you left behind and in turn leave the people you cared about, because in the end he had the face of someone you knew"

"My last question, why does he have to know. No man cares about a woman's past lovers, as long as we don't know and we never find out. We don't care."

"Listen, the sun is up and we have to start getting ready to sell our merchandise, but try and find some answers to help you with your thoughts." The silver hair man said before uncovering the wagon, revealing several furs of different kinds of animals Pyrrah had never seen before.

(Character change Jaune of Arc.)

It was a free day meaning that they could do whatever they wanted, the reason being was that an argument had started between the Elves, Humans, Fanus and Dwarfs working in the main building for the Adventurer exams."

Apparently, no one had any trouble with building the rod leading to the tower and filling it up with all sorts of dangerous creatures, but when if came to the tower itself the arguments began.

No one had any problem with making the tower resistant but breakable. The problems began with all of the traps and mechanisms with the parts of the tower that each group worked on. The issue was that when one group made something great, another group would try to outdo them and somewhere along the way, the tower was actually almost indestructible now.

Normally this wasn't an issue, but this was an exam for people that might be adventurers, apparently, the adventurers who were the strongest of the entire group had effectively told everyone that enough was enough and that the tower needed to be completed.

Everyone said no. The dwarfs argued that because this was the first exam to ever be made, the tower needed to be made to last for years to come, the elves argued that elegance and secrets needed to be built in, so surprises would keep the new adventurers always on their feet.

The Faunus made all sorts of statements that the tower needed to be able to grow and shrink depending of the skills of the people going up the tower. As for the Humans they were simply fed up with everyones arguing, a time limit had been given and that time limit was growing to close soon.

Unfortunately, Pyrrah had gone somewhere, early in the morning so it was just him and Scar walking around, seeing what was going on around town.
