She ginned down at him, but quickly returned her attention to her wings and the land below them. "I've been practicing!" Flocks of birds flew by, disturbed by their appearance.

"With what?"

"Other falling people. Hold on." She weaved between some especially tall trees, then they passed the forest and reached the edge of the city.

He snorted. "Where are we even going?"

"HQ" She glided over the city, people looking up and waving as they passed. On the right was a large three story mansion with a symbol that had the two letters M and V overlapping. She aimed for its equally large backyard.

He smiled slightly as they landed, taking a step back. "You were awake the whole time, weren't you?"

She stretched out her arms and wings as she answered. "I woke up a little bit after Cin named you ambassador, but was too lazy to get up."

"Not too lazy to cover your face with a wing so I couldn't see your eyes."

She shrugged. "Convenient placing."

He snorted, then looked around. "Alright, what's so important here?"

"I gotta change!" She drug him through the back door and into the mansion. They entered what looked to be the main gathering place, as multiple people where sitting around and conversing. Other members of the Vanguard. Tess ignored them and pulled him upstairs, taking two at a time. "The concert is in the Isic empire, and a lot of people will be there, including the empress. She's one of the few rulers I respect."

"By concert, you mean, like, singing and shit?"

(Okay!

"Singing, dancing, being an overall showoff." She found her room and pulled him in, closing the door and walking into her closet to find a suitable outfit. This bedroom was much neater and had more personality. Band posters were hung on the wall–Five Finger Death Punch, Set It Off, and Bad Wolves were a few. A high-tech, futuristic computer with a mic hooked up to it sat on a cluttered desk. Headphones were tossed on the corner of her bed. A bottle of half-finished wine was on her bedside table. A giant stuffed teddy bear was sitting next to her pillows on her bed.

"Am I required, as an ambassador?" He asked, scratching the top of his head and looking down at his bloodstained jeans.

"No, but I want you to come," she called, still searching through her wardrobe. "You're… How tall are you?"

"5'11'. Why do you have men's clothing?"

"No, but there are three more men in this building than women. Fenris is a no go–he's 6'7". Uh, try Carden. He's the shortest of the group I believe. Wait–scratch that. Theo's the shortest, but he's shorter than you. Go to Carden. He's the one who glows in the dark."

He shrugged. "Alright. But you said it's dancing and shit. I have zero skill in any of it."

She laughed. "I'm the one singing and dancing. And Cin. We're the ones going to be on stage in front of a bunch of people."

He shrugged. "Will I have to talk to anyone?"

"Not if you don't want to. Ah, perfect! Go find Carden if you don't want to look like you just got into a fight."

He walked out of her room, immediately lost. He just wandered around, getting a few odd looks. How am I supposed to find someone who glows in the dark when it's fucking bright?

"Get back here Flashlight!" The oddly bird-like screech originated from downstairs, the room next to the sitting area where they first entered.

He turned to the sound, finding his way to the sitting area.He rubbed his face in a mix of awkwardness and frustration. "Has anyone seen Carden? Tess said he might have a change of clothes for me."

Demitri happened to be one of the ones sitting there. He pointed towards a guy with odd swirling tattoos all over his body running away from a pissed off red-headed girl. The guy spotted Runner and instantly swung himself behind him, using Runner as a human shield.

He looked over at Demitri, giving him a singe nod before walking after them . "Can you please not kill him? I need some clothes for that concert thing."

The red head sneered at Runner. "Fine. But only because my cousin likes you."
Carden poked out from behind Runner. "I thought the godly side doesn't count?"
She snarled at him and he retreated back with a snicker.

He rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times. What did I just get myself into?
