There is a cave growing the second most precious allomantic metal, probably because of a splinter of one of the most dangerous entity in the multiverse, in a world made with the intent to study hemalurgy, and people belived it would just calm down soon... The ability of some humans not to care about the danger of the situation would always baffle NullBlade. Although, to be fair, are they worse than the one who feared inexistent danger ? PerfectProphecy would be more happy in a world where she is ignored than one where she is feared. Would have been... Perfect... My Perfect...

Why is that necessary? Sounds a little silly to be honest." “The name is a holdover from our beginning, when we were hiding from the Dark Alley under the name Light Alley,” Ran explained, mentally settling himself in for the story. “Our founder Storm wanted people to have another guild to join besides the DA. Very few other guilds existed then - not the Ghostbloods, not the Church of the Whiterose, not the Scholar’s Guild...he planned to take down the Dark Alley from the inside by spying on them, but TUBA was infiltrated and revealed, and our spies had to flee. Over time our purpose shifted - we had more members once we went public, and risking them all, well, with how powerful the DA is, it was decided that there were other ways we could help people. Or that’s how it’s all been told to me, anyway. I only joined about five years after the Seven Day War.” He tapped the side of his nose. “Besides that, we have tunnels under the city. So we still are underground, in a way.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the nature of that particular magic system, they often got members with more scars inside than out. There were several John Smiths in the database, but only one was a known criminal, and the appearance didn’t match. “You’re in! We do have rooms, actually, I was about to take these two to them.
