A gentle beep filled the air with a rhythmic tone that expressed the good health of the three patients at hand. As expected by a medical facility, the present room was beyond drab, with only the bare minimum necessities inhabiting the available floor and wall space. In particular were three gurneys and a chair; the former of which held a Chitos and two Sari while the latter remained occupied by a particular black haired woman. At first it seemed as if she were asleep; however, it soon became obvious that her sprawled, lazed figure was the result of sheer boredom. In time, a dull thud came from the north side wall; in turn, sparking life into the woman who turned her head to gaze upon the doctor who entered in from the adjacent room.
"Vitals are stabilized to the best of our ability. It isn't everyday, you operate on one of the Tera Fysis. Our knowledge is limited, but we cross referenced any potential similarities with other known beasts. If it weren't for the god element, all would have been naught. Though...it begs the question how chil-...""
"You have done well doctor, you may excuse yourself now."
The woman's interruption was spoken with firm authority that sent the doctor rushing away. It was only after the exit door had firmly re-shut, did the woman walk towards the north wall where a large window allowed her to peer into the operating room. Inside, there as a single gurney housing a small creature hidden under the veil of covers. Suspended over his head was a small blue-green gem that occasionally dripped a small drop of water which fell directly onto the forehead which remained uncovered.
"Curse you...Vin..."
The words were muttered under her breath, and were likely bound to continue if not for the stirring of one patient in the room. A small escaped her lips as she left the window and returned to the chair where she seated herself in a somewhat proper position. There, she began lightly readjusting her hair before patiently awaiting the awakening that was soon to occur. Given the length of their slumber, they were unlikely to remember much past the fight against the Glutton. Though, this is why she had waited so long--To provide answers and to welcome them into their new life at the Guild.
"Please make an effort to awaken. I haven't got all day to babysit."
Of course, they could have still had the courtesy to not sleep so long. Another sigh escaped her lips.

The morning sun glistened bright upon the streets of Pokos which were filled with excitement stemming from the post-Trial festival. Once again, it was that time of the year when the handful of Academy graduates and Trial survivors were inducted as new members of the Guild. As per tradition, the city was bustling with a plethora of events ranging from food to competition and everything in between. For most of the city, everyone was left to their own means of meandering enjoyment, but for a select few, there was a destination in mind. Of these few, it was a likely cultural shock seeing foreign peculiarities such as unmanned carts zipping down roads or the collection of inventions displayed in most shops. Regardless, Pokos was a welcoming experience, even more so, due to the festivities at hand.
For their first Quest, all graduates of a Guild Academy were tasked with journeying to the headquarters. Nonetheless, despite having no directions apart from "The City of Pokos", there was no belief in any official's mind that the task was impossible...or even hard. Even from the outskirts of the city, the Guild Headquarters were a magnificent sight to behold--the largest of any tower, scaling far into the skies above. Upon arriving at the front gates, any student or survivor with a writ of entry were given passage into the atrium within. Compared to the architecture of the exterior, the interior did not disappoint in the slightest. The atrium was a high ceiling room with panels of glass stretching all along the walls for an impressive display of natural light. In the center of the room, a large fountain statue was defined by a globe etched with exceptional detail that represented the land of El'yssi and beyond. Surrounding this fountain was a diverse collection of exotic plants, and all along the floor, various means of couches and chairs gave a plethora of lounging options for their guests. In the distance, there were two spiraling staircases while between them, an informational desk was occupied by a charming, albeit bored secretary. Regardless, for all the new explorers, there was no need for the desk since a particular man was waiting for their arrival.
Standing off to the side of the atrium was a older Fytali gentleman dressed in leather armor with a feathered hat atop his leafy head. His skin was defined by a bark-like texture while strapped across his back was a long wooden rifle. Along his waist, a large collection of pouches stored the plethora of herbs and seeds that he carried on his being. A warm smile encompassed his expression while a low, smooth tone spoke the announcements he directed towards any strangers carrying a writ.
"Over here if ya new. Tis the time we learn who our new explora's be."
