When Worlds Collide

Guilds? (FTO POV)

( OoO Michael POV:)
We all chat about the Guilds of Atlantide. Ritchie explains about them. "So, there are 4 main guilds; The Wandering Coins, Grimshade, Divinus Magia, and The Protectors. (I don't think this was said before, if it was oh well.) The Coins are a guild of thieves who steal. However, they steal and use their thieving skills for the good of others. They used to be lead by Reaper, who was one of the strongest mages in Atlantide, however he was murdered, and now his apprentice Silver is the leader. Grimshade is a guild of Assassins. They... kill off the more dangerous criminals that us other guilds can't put in prison. They're a reasonable bunch, if a bit aggressive, and our Michael is their leader." Ritchie says, and my eyes widen. "The other me is the leader of a group of assassins?" I ask, and Ritchie nods. Mario is equally as shocked. "But... Michael wouldn't kill anyone! Except Monsters, of course, but we all have to do that." Mario said, confusing the others. I step in, seeing the confusion. "Allow me to explain. As Demigods, we attract Monsters from Greek Mythology just by being near them or outside of our camp, which has a protection ward around it. These Monsters are drawn to us because of our godly blood, and to get some sort of payback to the gods, attempt to kill us. Heck, Mario was chased to camp by a Yeti. The only way to survive, for us at least, is to kill these Monsters and hope they stay in Tatarus for a while. Tartarus is the home of the Monsters, and when they are killed, they go back there until they are able to return, which could be years, or it could be days, depending on your luck." I explain, and they pale a bit, but Ritchie continues the explanation. "Divinus Magia is a guild that I, alongside my brother Brandon here, run. Everyone in this guild is a former criminal who felt bad or guilty about what they had done, and chose to try to reform." Ritchie said, and Mario looked up, confused. "What did my counterpart do?" He asked. "Oh. He was in a dark guild, but then chose to leave. However, he was marked as a member of that guild, and was taken into prison for being a part of them. We soon heard about how he had left, and chose to take him in." Ritchie explained. Mario nodded, satisfied with the answer. "The Protecters, much like the name implies, protect everyone. They are the guild that puts everyone in jail, and their leader used to be our world's Bri, but she was murdered in an attack that the guild leaders had to deal with during a party. Now they don't have a guild Leader, officially, but Lo'pho leads them for now. That's all the guilds in Atlantide." Ritchie finished, looking at the pair expectantly. "Now that we got that out of the way, I want to see what you two can do. Wanna spar? Magically, of course, although we can spar with weapons too, if you wish." Ritchie asks, and I look at Mario. He nods, okay with the idea. I look back at Ritchie. "Bring it on."
