Ouroboros
"Wait, Miss Omaira can you come down here please?" Alice asked, "What are your plans for our guild house?"
"Well, you can list your requirement and I shall incorporate it into the blueprints."
"First things first, we definitely need a huge kitchen, to practice my cooking." Samael started.
"I want an underground forge, we could also use the excess heat to create a hot spring/Sauna." Thorus commented, the dwarf seemed more excited about the idea of a hot spring than a forge.
"Em, can we also get a gym that includes very heavy weights." Xiao Ying said referring to her physique.
"Ooh I know, I know we also need a some flat land somewhere I can run freely." Yutu'er remarked, her feet where excitedly tapping the ground as if she couldn't wait to just dash around.
"Hmmm, I think a scenic area where we can calm our minds and mediate, freeing ourselves from mortal desires, a place where we can reach nirvana." Acala spoke, his spring like voice filled with passion.
"Can we also have a garden or a farm, somewhere I can cultivate plants and animals, I also think our guild will eventually recruit some alchemists or beast masters so this can be perpetration right." Awa said gently.
Omaira noted all this down and then turned to Alice, who hasn't spoken yet.
"Alright do what every one else said, but we also need guest rooms, for our guild members who are unsatisfied with were they currently live or they just need a quick rest."
"Furthermore, we require a sparring area, where we can hone our skills, a medical pavilion where we can recuperate from injuries and heal. Additionally we need a main hall, where a guild ranking and notice board will be, this can create a competitive atmosphere in the guild increasing moral."
"We also need an equipment/ treasure room where guild members can restock on items and purchase equipment with Tianjiao Points. Can you get an Formation master so that they can increase the aura concentration in the vicinity, can said master also create an attack and defence formation for the guild."
"Not to be forgotten, is a library, it may be kind of empty when we start but as we grow we can increase the knowledge we store allowing our guild members to improve themselves all the time."
"And last but not least can you build a meeting room, that can hold around 30 people the room will be where we hold discussions about affairs in the guild." Alice said. (Did I forgert anything?)
"That's a lot but no problem, I said this was going to be my best build yet so it will be. Also luckily for you I'm a formation master, most architects dabble in formation as it is very useful in our line of work."
"So it won't cost you extra, all you need to do is give me money to buy materials, I will do the building for free because you're already helping me greatly by allowing me to build on your land."
"Because as an Architect the most valuable thing is improving our craft and this is what I'm doing." Omaira said giving a small bow to the group."
"Thank you." the seven said.
2 weeks later, the seven were walking towards their land, they had just met up after class, in these two weeks their relationship has become stronger than ever, they truly feel like a guild or at least a party now.
Led by the energetic Feng Yutu they soon reached their newly built guild hall, this was going to be the first time they see the their future base of operations as they were just contacted by Omaira informing them that it was finished.
The first thing they saw was a huge circular wall, it was obsidian coloured and had gold formation etched into it's surface, there were four gates meaning that when they need to expand it makes it easier. The four gates were gold in colour and radiated with majesty and power, there colossal height seemed to intimidate anyone in front of it.
The gate they were at instantly opened, revealing to them a beautiful structure, the residence was made out of a stone material. The stone had a cold sheen on it, glowing in the sunlight, it looked heavenly.
The stone was in two colours, ebony and ghost white. The ebony coloured stone was used in the support beams, the roof, doors and windowsills and the ghostly white was the main part of the hall.
The residence was 3 stories tall, It looked like a huge palace and at the very top of the dome roof was a golden spire. There were towers at each compass point and they all seemed to point towards the central spire, aura was coming of it and feeding back into the palace enriching the area.
"Amazing." Feng Yutu sighed as she ran into the hall, the other six following close behind.
The group quickly split up trying to witness there requested parts of the guild. Thorus dashed underground where he saw his new forge, red hot molten rock was flowing through artificial rivers, heating and lighting up the cold underground. Everything he wanted was here, he ogled at it for a quite a while before running towards where the lave pooled up.
There were stairs near the lava reservoir he ran up them and saw a beautiful hot spring and next to it a huge sauna. He ran into the sauna and felt the steam penetrating his pores and relaxing his soul.
Acala lightly stepped on the ground and reappeared metres away soon arriving in a serene and calm area. A small waterfall was flowing freely, the water entering the pond disturbed the pink lotuses and the dazzling black and white koi.
The monk, simply sat in a meditative position and closed his eyes, breathing in the tranquil air of this section of the guild.
Feng Yutu sprinted throughout the hall, leaving afterimages everywhere she quickly found herself in the backyard of the hall a completely flat grassland, Yutu'er just let loose running and rolling around in the grass, her jade rabbit features materialised increasing her speed again.
If you were to try and look at her, you would see nothing but you would be able to feel a gust of wind. She was running so quickly her afterimages were still moving.
Xiao Ying walked through the palace like hallways, arriving in her requested gym, there was everything she ever needed. She walked up to the weights, the weights were a grey metal and looked as normal as could be. When Xiao Ying picked them her expression quickly became serious, these weights were outrageously heavy, the material they were made of is clearly very dense.
Xiao Ying, quickly started working out, if a Tier 9 were to look at her, they would feel her strength quickly increasing! They would hear her blood rushing through her body and her heart beating like a drum, she was a humanoid monster, in her semi-thin body held demonic strength.
Awa was currently in an empty field but her golden eyes were glowing with excitement, she could just imagine when the farmland would be full of animals and plants. She couldn't wait. Green aura was being released from her body, any seeds or naturally growing plants in the ground quickly grew filling the barren land with plant life. Butterflies and birds flew towards her, she was nature's child.
Samael was grinning from ear to ear looking at the new kitchen, it may not be as good as the Forte Family one but this was the first kitchen that was actually his. It was overwhelmed with emotion, Samael remembered when he opened his first restaurant the feeling he felt was the exact same.
Alice was walking up a set of ebony steps, soon reaching the meeting room. She looked at the room lovingly as she walked to the window and looked down on to the ground of their new territory.
"This is the true start of our story," she said as she gazed up at the sky.
The others soon reached the meeting room where they spotted Alice. Omaira joined them too.
The guild members once again thanked the half-beast for building their guild hall and asked if she wanted to join them.
"I'm sorry but no, I like to be unrestrained I want to build and that's it." she chuckled.
"Well if you ever need anything we will try our best to help, Senior." Alice promised, "Also can you tell me about Magni Brego's Guild."
The atmosphere turned dark and tense, the guild members in these two weeks were informed about Alice's half brother and also wanted to know who they were up against.
"Magni Brego, huh," Omaira said, "He's a dangerous man, he is the leader of the 6th ranked guild and he could probably be ranked higher if some of his members didn't graduate. However even though some did graduate they still work for him on the outside."
"For some reason anyone who joins that guild is deathly loyal to the man, and don't say it's hypnosis we checked and found no signs of such a technique."
"His guild is normally quite low-key and the only reason he grew to Rank 6 is because he defeated the people that provoked him, his guild never starts fights all they do is accumulate strength."
"His guild, is called Ouroboros."
The room fell to silence, Sami had a distraught expression on his face, "Fuck me, our guild name is shit!" the chef blurted out.

Info of the day - Formations Vs Runes
Formations, are based of runes, they are a language developed by the joint collaboration of all races during an ancient war against the Abyss.
Formations can be used by any race and has more functions than runes, but are insanely complicated. Any mistake can change the whole meaning of the Formation, this has led to Formation master being even more respected than Alchemists.
Furthermore Formation masters are very rare as the Rune Feather has eliminated the limitation that runes can only be used by dwarves and goblins. Leading many people to be lazy and choose runes over formations.
As mentioned before Runes are an exclusive element of Dwarves and Goblins, they are much less complicated than Formations and the rune feather has allowed every race to use said element.
People who use runes are called runemasters, runes can do a lot of singular things for example a fire rune can release fire but a fire formation could release fireballs in specific intervals or something. Runes are also mainly used on talismans, formation masters would not waste their time putting formations on a talisman.
