Joining with the Wolf

upon entering the guild, he enters a building that is called the Patheon, the main building of the guild in the city, and from appearance just from the front, it takes your breath away, while each Patheon in each dungeon is unique based on region and the current owner, the design's are not set and stone, but this one is well made, The Patheon building is a large chateau with a design that can easily make it be mistaken as a castle, especially with the top part seeming like a tower overlooking the city at about 10 stories tall and the rest of the building being able to have 5 floors in it otherwise, and the tower was smack in the center with window's all around to see everywhere for adventurers to see this building as elegant, powerful, and noble, it is designed with a wide space in the entrance door area with a drop gate in case of a lockdown to hold a large body of people bundled together at once, this way, the adventurer's coming to see there advisor's are not too crowded unless near a hundred people are in at once and even then there should still be some breathing room at least, the counters with protective windows in front for adventurers to talk with their advisors and also exchange their loot from the dungeon to the receptionist as to make sure things are safe and mature, and that's only from what you see on the outside.

Makeda:" wow, this building show's you it is supposed to be powerful, it almost seems like an actual castle"

Alcaeus:" well, considering the fact that these buildings were once supposed to support people in a crisis, it's no surprise that they are built strong, I can even feel it from here, the many magic protective circles meant to ward off even a god's divine power, granted it can't stop a true god's power, but with the limit they have, it can stop that at least"

Makeda:" oh right, for a field like this to be broken, hundred's of god's would have to use their limited power, like say a goddess of love wishes to charm the entire city, the guild will be a safe place for them, I read about that once, such as when Freya, the Norse goddess tried, but failed to charm the entire city, when the guild were immune, they took action immediately by informing the head of Norse mythology of what she did, with that stunt pulled breaking the condition's of their stay in the mortal realm, Freya was pulled back to the divine realm and Oden punished Freya by..."

Alcaeus:" yeah, she got a curse that made her outside beauty match her inside beauty and is now a hideous beast, she now wears a mask and cover's her entire body in shame and gave her heinous nightmares upon seeing her own face, and since coming back to the mortal world, she now struggling just to keep a Familia, or so I heard from Artemis who heard whispers about it from some Norse god's she's friends with"

Makeda:"... even though she was responsible for hundreds of innocent people getting killed... I still feel a little bit sorry for her, though I will not defend her actions, also, isn't she residing in the human territory"

Alcaeus:" she is, though let's avoid her, she is on the list of god's and goddesses Artemis said not to join"

before going to join a familia after marrying his wives, Artemis gave Alcaeus a list of god's and goddesses to avoid joining, Familia's that would either be bad for him to join since they will rob him, use him, or are bad altogether, and at the top of that list, Apollo was written in her own blood saying she will personally kill him herself is he even thinks of joining his familia, and Alcaeus knew she was DEAD serious as well, so he made sure to avoid the familia on the list like the plague.

upon entering the guild, he and his wife found it was even bigger inside than it seemed outside, and that's saying a lot, upon entering, men stared at Makeda as she hugged Alcaeus's arm tighter and he converted her, many men hissed and clicked their tongues in jealousy as they head to the receptionist, this one was a male elf who was wearing a set of black vest and pants with a white collared long sleeve shirt underneath and a grey bow tie with black or brown boots, this is to be seen as elegant and mature, and the 2 with a smile, though he informed the 2 to head to the head master's office, and the 2 seemed worried, then upon entering, the headmaster was none other than Morgan.

Morgan:" Hey little bro, how are you"

Alcaeus:" you're the headmaster of this guild"

Morgan:" I said I was in a position of power that is rare for someone of my race to get, did I not"

Alcaeus:" I guess I underestimated how important your position was"

Morgan:" actually, I want to talk to you about something... when you're here, please don't tell people we're family, I know it sounds like I'm ashamed to have you as my family but-"

Alcaeus:" but if people knew we were family, people would approach me only to reap the benefit's of your position if not threaten to use me as leverage"

Morgan:" I'm glad you understand saves me the trouble of explaining what could go wrong, for now at least, pretend you don't have a family name please, for now at least, we can't have any connection to one another"

Alcaeus:" I understand, but can I get a basic rundown of the city"

Morgan:" that is also what I called you here for, here is a map of the city, I marked some important area's, for you, money isn't an issue, but if you walk in with a pocket full of Ecuro, you will be robbed faster than you can scream, so these cheap options should be best, for now, oh, and one more thing... don't have too much fun, the walls are thin in those buildings"

with Morgna's tease, they rush in embarrassment as she then sips a drink of wine as she review's the cities condition and finds something odd, as Alcaus and Makeda leave, upon finding a room to stay in, he set's out to join, Makeda said she'd join after he is accepted and after that, he set out, though, because he was lean due to his training, he can easily be mistaken for being weak due to how thin his body was, and because he had a soft face and good heart, he was seen as fresh meat so to speak, and got rejected by the 80 Familia's within the span of a afternoon that he applied for, but in his defense, he rejected joining more than half of them once he saw how they treated people, some had slaves they openly beat, some sexually harrassed female member's as they could only cry, and other's said to pay, after that, he was at a loss, then he saw a god with the mortal form of a werewolf in an alleyway who seems hungry, and offered them something to eat, upon the god standing, it was a beautiful goddess who was very tall, about 6'2" tall to be exact, and she is also very well endowed, the cloak she was wearing must have covered up her body since he didn't notice it, and upon getting something to eat, she wolfed down the food like no tomarrow.

Alcaeus:" wow, you must have been hungry, how long was it since you ate something"

????:" 4 weeks"

Alcaeus's thought's:" no wonder's she is wolfing down the food, I know werewolves don't have large cheeks to store food in their mouth so wolfing down food is a given for them, but she's taking that concept to a whole new meaning and concept, at least werewolves chew their food 5 times, but she's only taking single bites before inhaling it down"

Alcaeus:" oh right goddess, I didn't hear your name"

Fenrir:"... oh, my apologies, I am the monstrous wolf of Norse mythology who brought Ragnarok, Fenrir"

Alcaeus:" Fenrir... I'm sorry, but... aren't you suppose to be male"

Fenrir:"... Loki is my father, that should explain enough"

Alcaeus then thought about it, and it made sense, Loki was known to switch gender's, while he did father Fenrir and his sibling's, Hel and Jörmungandr, but he also was the mother of Oden's steed Sleipnir, so if Loki could do that, it may not be that much of a surprise that Loki's children could do the same if they desired, in fact, it may be that power that allowed Loki to exist as a man in one time in the mortal world, and a woman on his next turn after being pulled back to the divine realm.

Alcaeus:" I see'

Fenrir:" anyway, you're a nice person to help me out like this"

Alcaeus:" if I can be so bold, why were you in the streets"

Fenrir:"... I'm trying to make a Familia of my own, however, granted my reputation in mythology was bad, but Oden started it"

Alcaeus:" aww, I see, but granted what you and your siblings went through, can you really be blamed"

Fenrir:" see, you get it, I would have never helped with Ragnarok if the gods didn't tie me up and left me to be imprisoned for the rest of my life otherwise, as well as throw my brother in the ocean and sister in Niflheimr"

after some talking, Fenrir then got an idea and asked Alcaeus to join her Familia, while he was searching for a Familia, he didn't expect to find one, so he accepted, if today was anything to indicate, the other's would be as bad, and since he's the only member aside from his wife who would join after he found a Familia, and with that, he was able to join a Familia, now there was only one issue, a home, while Alcaeus could buy a home, his sister warned him not to seem rich out of nowhere, so he had to think of a way to seem poor, at least, for now.

Alcaeus:" goddess Fenrir, I can't use a lot of my assets due to special circumstances, it may sound like I'm being stingy, but-"

Fenrir:" one, god's and goddesses can tell when a mortal lies to them, and with my case, especially since it's me we're talking about, mean's I can tell when someone lies to me, so I have no reason to doubt you"

Alcaeus:" oh, then I also want to recommend my wife"

Fenrir:" married, at your age... I guess it's not uncommon, but still... then again it's not my place to judge since everyone has their own lives to live and such, alright then, when you get to her, I'll give you both Dunamis"

Alcaeus:" alright then, where do we meet"

Fenrir:" I'd say... I'll track your scent to your room"

upon that, Alcaeus went to his wife, and Fenrir did indeed find them, with that, both joined her, as Makeda was a level 3, Fenrir was now happy since now she can classify as a rank H at least, with a level 3, she cannot be denied her power, then again, she thought of something, classifying as a rank H familia right off the bat would be bad, even if she only had 2 member's, taxes will be a pain, one way tax is handled is a Familia's rank, a Familia's rank is the biggest factor in taxes for any familia, so a familia going up in Ranking is the familia's Treasurer and Tax Accountant's worst nightmare, categorized I to S, ranking and taxation in this is simple, I rank have no multiplication to their taxes since this is for small and beginning Familia's, however, going higher is a different story as taxes add as the ranking get's higher, so H and G rank have a tax increase of about 15% on their base taxes, F and E pay an additional 15% on their taxes, D and C pay an additional 15% on their taxes, B and A pay an additional 15% on their taxes, and S rank Familia pay the absolute most as they have to then pay an additional 25% on their taxes, meaning by the end, from their base taxes, the S ranked Familia's pay an additional 85% on their taxes compared to I rank familia's, from their personal taxes, their god's taxes, and familia taxes as well, so S rank Familia's pay the most of all familia, and while H rank is a show of power, it's also a show of more taxes, and this early on would be a nightmare to handle, then again, of both worked hard, they should be able to make it somehow, but that was it, the Fenrir Familia was born, and the start of a new chapter has been opened.
