This is gavinfirefox's profile
Chapter 1: Homunculus You have been accepted into the Homunculus Guild, an organization devoted to slaying the Homunculi. They seem to have taken a particular interest into a taboo subject with the object in mention being you, though what it is is beyond you. All you know is that they have called you out to some place called the Well of Souls.
Chapter 2: ??? ???
Chapter 3: ??? ???
Beginning: A man in a brigandine tunic with plate armor on his legs and arms and a targe shield with a mace approaches you. Behind him is some kind of cave, with a strange blue glow coming out of it. The man is Jaten, the current manager of the Homunculus Guild.
"Are you ready?" he asks. For what is beyond you. |

and for the bio thing, you said a few years of training, which was the thing i was talking about.]
Valor looked at his leader, and nodded slowly. |

(Oh no, the few years thing was how long it was before you got a letter of acceptance. There really wasn't any training. The Guild has a philosophy that shocks everyone that it's not dead. It states, to the last word, "Meh, you learn on the job." Probably explains why a lot of people get scared out of it after the first mission...)
Daric, the second-in-command, appears, "How many people just stand there and nod? Jaten, he's like the others. Don't lie to me he's special. Just because of The Matter, doesn't mean he should get much special treatment..."
"And it's that idea that made me accept him in the first place," snaps back Jaten. |

"You'd do well to respect those who may be your superiors," says Daric.
"Daric, I am yours and his superiors, and I say shut it and deal with his attitude. The only banned behavior is that which is so arrogant it would jeopardize a mission," replies Jaten.
Daric walks to the mouth of the cave, and Jaten turns to you.
"I'm sorry. Daric means well, but he's got some social issues. Almost everyone who's still with the Guild does. They were caused by Homunculi. Anyways, you should know of the nature of the Well..." he says, walking to the cave, motioning for you to follow. |

Valor nodded, "He shows respect, I would return it. Only give what you receive no?" Moving on, he nodded a second time "Yes."
[imma just say he knows most of it, so you dont gotta waste time on the big posts and such, besides the obviously stuff.] |

(Eh... I just copy it so I can get some basic things you need to know into it. But, just assuming here, you read the one on which you asked for this, so I shall assume you know the origin story of the Well...)
He explains it to you, and stops at the Well.
"Any further questions?" |

| "2 days. It'll be hard to beat that, you'd need to have the right soul. Not a strong one, but a right one. I've seen people with the strongest souls ever last only 16 hours..." replies Jaten. |

| "You may leave me in longer then when you would normally pull someone away." Valor replied after a moment, "The longer.. the higher chance of success. Death is a fair thing to gamble for such protection." He finished, referring to the Homunculus'. |

Jaten looks at you funny, but then shrugs.
"Very well. Daric, please start the Oath..."
Daric goes and recites some kind of oath.
"Do you, Son of Isgor and Raytilia (Your mother), agree to keep the secret of the Homunculus Guild, to join the fight when we need you to, and help us until you leave, and you will most likely leave after your first job, like most people. Do you agree to admit your mortality, to know that these Homunculi are stronger then you, better then you, capable of more advanced magic then Human mages, and yet you will still fight them until you die. Do you agree to keep our happenings here at the Well of Souls and our Oath a secret, and do you realize you can turn back right now, though Jaten and I will kill you if we see you have any intent on sharing the secret," says Daric. |

"I do." Was the simple and effective reply of Valor. |

"Good. You seem familiar with the next part. |

| Nodding, Valor turned to the Well. He cracked his knuckle and slammed his palms against them with a great deal of force, figuring he should do this the same way he goes through life, always leaping before he looks and using brute strength to accomplish his goals. |

(Oh my, I thought I replied to this. I'm sorry. xD)
You find yourself stuck in a trap of nightmares, witnessing the murders of thousands as the people being murdered. You also see peculiar images, ones of the Colossi, a bunch of statues left behind by the Ancients, which one, the Hearth Colossus, is what your city was built around, coming to life and draining of the souls of thousands. Scary stuff.
Anyways, Jaten pulls you out of the Well.
"Well, you almost got there, but you're not doing so well," he says, pointing to your arm, which is completely immobilized.
"I wanted to pull you out earlier, but I remembered your words. On a bright side, your first mission will be delayed for a few days. Your arm should become mobile again, but it's stuck due to Soul Burning in that region..." |

Forcing himself to his feet by brute force alone, he tried to manually pull his soul away from the well.
"How long." He asked, his voice empty and hollow. |

"About half a week. These cases used to be common before we found out about Soul Burning. Most cases only lasted about 4 days," he says in reply.
Your already disconnected. He did that job for you. |

| "It seems I have failed." Valor clenched his working arm's fist several times. Half a week was 3 and a half, while most got 4. He did wonder when he was originally going to be pulled out, but waited to ask, processing his thoughts first. |

(It's ok. ;D)
"No, you didn't fail us. There are always those that are stubborn, and it's being stubborn that could save time, and save lives. In most cases, that is..." says Jaten. |

| "When did the burning commence.. The original time I would have pulled out?" He questioned. Failing them meant nothing, he failed himself. |

| "34 hours would've been the amount of time connected. You were in there for 36 hours. As to when the burning started is impossible to tell. Most often, it doesn't show until certain signs are visible," replies Jaten. |
