Chapter 59 - Book II - Prologue: The Black Wolves 1st Ace

**Somewhere in the Sky Kingdom jurisdiction**

**Timeframe: a week and a half after the Blue Phoenix incident back in the Valley**

A young girl awoke groggily amid a vast field of midnight and sparkling blue haze. The Mist Flower Fields, popular in this region of the Sky Kingdom jurisdiction.

She had opened one eye while keeping the other closed, slightly covered from her bangs that fell over her face. A trail of drool formed on the side of her mouth over one of her snakebite piercings that she had on each end of her bottom lip, with a finished popsicle stick hanging off from her mouth to the side.

Her hair was a short bob, black with a dark-olive green peekaboo underneath. The one eye that opened was a starker color emerald green. The dark gray hood she wore over her head had black fur on the edges of it; symbolic of a jacket worn by a certain Guild from the Valley Kingdom.

She was probably the age of eighteen as she let out a low moan like it was a drag to have just woken up, "Mmm…" she said miserably.

Another voice popped in, almost out of nowhere, as she continued laying on top of whatever she had decided to call her bed. The voice sighed deeply before speaking, "Miss Jo please wake up now. We don't need to be here any longer—it's time to make it back to the De—"

"Ugh… shut up Nyx… two more hours please… such a pain," the young girl interrupted as she turned her head away as if to fall asleep once more.

 "MISS JO, NO! BY THE KEEPER, YOU HAVE BEEN SLEEPING HERE FOR THE PAST DAY AND A HALF. THE MISSION WAS COMPLETED TWO DAYS AGO! CAN WE PLEASE GET GOING NOW?? MISS JO… MISS JO!" the voice shouted then stopped in defeat as the female let out a soft snore from where she had fallen effortlessly asleep.

From out of thin air a small icy figure the size of a dragon plush toy appeared next to her. It had short stubs of arms and legs and had small wings behind it on its head, which was a bit bigger than the rest of its body. The head was the shape of a dragon's skull complete with a small dull horn on the front with two of the same parallel to each other out from the back. It had black, seemingly hollow eyes from the sockets; its entirety of its small toy-like body was made of ice itself and appeared almost transparent as it waddled over to the girl sleeping there.

 "Oh, Keeper why do you make me suffer so?" The small ice figure, Nyx, complained as it attempted to move her with its stubby arms.

She moaned again as it moved her back and forth. She then took a drowsy hand and shoved the small ice anomaly away, bickering to her as she did.

She was petite in figure with attire that was mainly black and darker colors. From her cropped, oversized puffer jacket to her pixie skirt, it was all black or darker shades, minus the white tank underneath with the cleavage a bit low. Her pixie was high waisted, black on the outside and dark green on the inside with intersecting belts that hung off it; the buckling resembling a bow in its center that matched the choker on her neck. Underneath she had straps that attached to her thigh-high black sheer socks, ending with glossy black, heeled, platform Mary Jane shoes.

On the back of her oversized jacket was the faint symbol of a distinct wolf logo that hid behind a small green backpack with small, fake dragon wings flaring from it. Her hood even had custom stud-like horns built in on it, resembling the horns on Nyx behind the fur trim.

But the part of her that stood out the most, and the part of her that was absolutely not fake, was a thick, scaley green dragon tail protruding out from behind a custom hole on the back of her skirt. It was quite long and whipped every so often on its own.

Still attempting to wake her, Nyx continued to bicker to himself inaudibly. There, as the scene of them expanded, the midnight colored Mist Flower Fields glowed with a shimmering blue. Frozen statues the shapes of both humans and beasts were spread, scattered all throughout the field. Layered in between them were large, spiked pillars of ice, and the girl, in the center of it all, sleeping atop a frozen Grade 1 beast she had decided to use as a massive, glittering bed.

The sound of her yawn followed by her soft snores, and Nyx's bickering were the only sounds filling the space in this sweeping landscape of cold, sparkling quiet.

She had just completed her solo mission here a week or so after the Black Wolves had finished dealing with the Blue Phoenix incident. And at this time, she had decided to take a 'short' break before heading back.

Her name was JoAnne, Jo for short, and she was the Black Wolves 1st Ace.

"Mmm… See you soon, GG…"
