Book 2: Chapter 14: Fractured Interview Part I

Terra New Station #1 TNS1

Over two weeks later

Now miss Asger, how do you feel about your time as a Guardian so far now that youve been one for almost a month now? Jeff asks from his place seated on a comfortable reclining chair across a glass table from the wolf eared Guardian, a large window to his left and a set of cameras to his right.

Busy, Scarlet answers with a single word, painting a picture of her personality much clearer than the forums and videos Jeff has seen over her on the internet.

When he was first told that hed be interviewing her at the request of the Silver Associations leader, Cipher, he was over the moon. The very idea of being the very first news company to interview an up and coming star of a Guardian was a dream come true for anyone. But after just a little bit of research, that excitement quickly dampened as he began to realize just how difficult the interview might turn out to be.

She really is just like I thought. Stoic and quiet, with very little care for social media or interacting with the public.

The corner of Jeffs mouth twitches slightly upwards.

I can work with that.

Jeff makes a hand signal with his left hand away from the view of the camera, making the room go dark as the window suddenly turns into a video showing one of the girls fights, this one being against a demon knight in her most recent Fracture just the day before today. Very understandable, considering your track record of Fractures youve fought in in just your first month as a Guardian. And youre doing it as a student at Lions Heart as well! An incredible achievement! One that not many Guardians are able to claim to have!

So your team doesnt have any reservations about you branching off and going partially solo? Jeff asks, but before she can answer, he adds, What about the leader of your team? The Druid, Michael Winters?

Scarlet blinks seemingly in surprise and answers, They were expecting it the moment I joined their team, so it didnt come as much of a surprise for them.

Good. Very good. Thisll play into her image as a lone wolf very well.

Ah, thats good to hear. Ive heard of a lot of teams breaking up when just a single person left, so I couldnt help but worry, Jeff says, showing a relieved smile. He then closes out the session with a short cliffhanger ending, leaving the viewers hopefully wanting more before starting the commercial break.

Nice work, miss Asger, he says, the relieved smile on his face vanishing, replaced solely by a normal one. You did splendidly for your first time in front of a camera.

The girl just shrugs.

To be expected.

The commercial break will last for about five or so minutes, so go ahead and grab some refreshments if youd like, he says while getting up himself and walking off the set, soon hearing her doing the same behind him.

So far so good. I just hope everything continues as planned.
