Eirian the Amiel
How does One make the world a better place
a scar left on the world cannot be heal
a darkness in man heart cannot be cut
and every path is fill with regret
even Amiel with all their power
can barely hold themselves from astray
we fail to save the world
we fail to save ourselves
perhaps it's not One duty to save the world but Oneself
To become what One is meant to be
To find a path back to Oneself
only when you found your star
You will see the way
Eirian
After Bill demonstrate his MAM fire power at the forge Eirian led everyone to Dragon Peak restaurant which he hands pick for this occasion. It has foods for all races with chair and table ready for all size of people and animal.
Inside were decorate with simple pot of tree and flower from all over continent. One of the walls were shape into a stage where a band of human and bird is performing. A note of flute and string jump and dance across the room. Our table is on the second floor overlook the stage, from up here we can see some raven on the hanging bird perch listening to the music.
When everyone seated the human waiter place a menu on the end of table where Bill passes it along. The menu is fills with a colorful picture of neatly arrange dishes with price print on bottom of each plate. Eirian notice Bill stare intensely at each of the plate but he is not sure why.
‘Maybe he just really hungry, it not like he never see these foods before.’
“Well, everyone” said Amy “Let’s give thanks to our magnificent Eirian who is treating us today. Let’s order to our heart content to not humiliate his grace”
Eirian smile to Amy word and ignore other possible implication “Of course, feel free to order anything you want” Eiran replied sincerely. He wants this meal to help bond them together as a team more and resolve any conflict that they had before so they can work together better.
“Then don’t mind if I do” said Josh as he starts to loot through all the food he never saw before and order some human food he always want to try.
Seeing everyone enjoying themselves make Eirian feel better ‘Maybe this won’t be as hard as I thought’
Josh, Bill, Amy and Biscuit seem to be having fun however Calamity is still calm and casually order a simple meat.
‘I don’t understand him at all. How can I win him over?’
“Biscuit what is you going to order?” Amy looks over.
“I’m thinking about a lily sandwich” Biscuit point at a picture of sandwich with yellow flower and green leaf.
“That too small Biscuit! Will you even full? Don't you want to try these rowan honey pie?” Amy point to another picture.
“Well, they look good but the price...”
“Don’t worry about money Biscuit, I got more than enough” Eirian eases her worry. Biscuit nods to thank you.
In the end Josh order, a meat bowl; Bill a Kobe Beef Steak; Biscuit a rowan honey pie; Amy a fried duck; Eirian a fried rice with pork and dragon egg
‘Such fancy name for marinate chicken egg’
“I’m also order us a simple appetizer, a pumpkin soup with potato. I know we all have a different diet but I hope we could share at least one dish together, please enjoy.”

A waiter places a bowl of orange soup in the middle and scoop for everyone on the table. A soup is yellowish color with white cream and a tint of green spices on top.
"Not bad”
“I didn’t know pumpkin is actually quite sweet.” said Calamity.
Eirian glad everyone is enjoying the soup so he asks a question he’s been wondering about to start a conversation “Biscuit I heard goat can eat meat now is that right?”
“Yes, after we awaken a meat is no longer poisonous to us but most goat and sheep stick to their green diet from old habit.” Biscuit answer and turn to help Amy wipe a soup that drip from her mouth.
Ant don’t have hand so she uses her jaw to hold the cup to drink but some still spill.
“I’m sorry I should have asked for a straw” said Eirian.
“It’s fine, I never got a chance to drink soup like this before. We usually eat raw food you see; underground is not exactly a good place to light a fire for cooking or you would choke yourself.”
“I thought you guy have a few holes in colony for air to go out?”
“We do but a smoke coming out like that is basically telling your enemy where your hive is so cooking is not encouraged for most of us.”
“That too bad cooking is quite fun and indulge in food of your own craft is an experience unlike any other.” Eirian looks around the table “Do anyone know how to cook here?”
“I do” said Bill and Calamity.
“I know how to made a few dessert” said Biscuit.
“Does making dried meat count?” said Josh.
“Sure” said Eirian “maybe we could go camp together one day and share the meal.”
“I thought you don’t want to waste time on the weak” Amy prelude to their first interaction.
‘Well, I didn’t expect to be put in the same team as you did I’
“I’m sorry you caught me at the bad time back then, I was not in a good mood you see so I’m sorry if I take offend to anyone of you.” Eirian focus on Amy and Bill.
“You’re lucky this soup taste so good” said Amy “Would be a waste of good food if I let...our mistake sour it. New start?”
Seeing she said ‘our’ Eirian understand she mean it.
“New start” Everyone nod. Eirian relieved that everyone is on the same page. Bill seems to be enjoying his food so much he will do anything for Eirian at this point. All seem to be forgiven. Calamity doesn’t seem to care much but he at least goes along with everyone and don’t say anything or make aggressive pose.
‘If he just going to be quiet and only follow then I can work with that’
The food come shortly after and everyone enjoy their finest dinner since they got here. Amy insists Biscuit to taste her duck after Biscuit let her try a rowan pie. Josh dip his beak and try hardest to eat a meat bowl but a few rices always stick around his beak making everyone laugh at him. Bill meanwhile is having a meal of his life.
Eirian is also enjoying his meal but he focuses on his teammate more. To study them and assess how he should approach them. For him who never leave the village these people are very much a mystery. Amy ant face is impossible to read, Calamity might as well be a brick and he’s still not sure why Bill mads at him. Still, they are his teammate now and he plan to help everyone get on the same page so that their team are the best in school.
‘I'm Amiel, I must live up to everyone expectation.’
After everyone finish their meal Eirian pay the bill without much thought. He still got a lot of money left from his aunt. “We got class in the morning but all of us should be free in the afternoon. What do you guy think about meeting to see what everyone can do?”
“You want us to fight?” asked Calamity.
“If that what you want then we can do that too. I am thinking about getting to know everyone skill more. Next week we got group activity in the Cinder Wood and it would help us greatly if we know everyone specialty so we could assign the right job.”
“I don’t want to fight. Do I have to go too?” Biscuit voice her concern.
“You don’t have to fight if you don’t want. I just want to see more of everyone skill in different area and let us accustomed being around each other more since our team is probably the most diverse team among all student this year. All other teams have people from the same race at least two or three so they have some level of understanding between each other but we come from different background entirely it could make it difficult for us to work together.”
“Sound reasonable enough” said Amy.
“I actually have some plan but I can make time” Bill quietly cut his bed time to make room for this activity.
“I wouldn’t miss it for the star” said Josh as he attempts to pick up a spoon with his wing one last time but fail.
“Then it settles” Eirian looks at his teammate “We’ll meet again tomorrow thank you everyone for coming today.”
‘With me as a team leader and everyone follow my instruction our team would be the best in the school in both wit and strength.’
“I promise you all we’ll be the best model team this school has ever see.”
“You speak as if you were already our team leader” Amy adds.
“I thought it would be common sense to make me the leader? Seeing how I have the most experience and magic in all element.”
“You may have all magic but to be a leader should require more than the ability to conjure light or a droplet don’t you think?”
“What would you suggest then?”
“I don’t know” Amy shrugs her antenna “it just wouldn’t be good if our team leader didn’t earn their place and acceptant from everyone right?”
‘She sure is the problematic one. Does she think she will be a better leader than me?’
“How about this” Eirian suggests “We all go back today and think about what should be a qualification of our team leader then we decide tomorrow with everyone as witness.”
“Qualification of leader?” everyone tries to remember the leader they have seen or met and think what were they like.
‘The elders are properly the one I will use as example. They lead our people through the great war after we lost Astra and Lucena. There is no better leader than them.’
“See you all tomorrow.”
