Storm Warband #2: Callum

This one got long but I'll keep it below the cut! Enjoy more Guild Wars 2 au!

"You hit it, you break it." Primus Runaan says nodding at the practice dummy beside him. "There is no in-between." he looks at the cubs who he was assigned to train and educate. All parents either were out of the picture or killed in the war. For charr, the family is their Warband.

Callum's parents were different. They took care of him for a year, fed him, and then sent him to a fahrar in the sky legion. They had visited him more than other parents do. Something that is heavily frowned upon in their culture but it's not as common either for parents to keep in touch with their cubs. They were both tribunes for their respective legions: Moon and Sky Legions.

He was sent to Moon after his parents had died. He had no friends nor anyone he knew at the Moon Legion's fahrar. His primus, Runaan, had known his father and claims to have known him as a cub. But Callum doesn't know him.

"When will we break the dummies?" a cub with dark fur and black fur on his head spoke up. Runaan looks at them with a raised eyebrow. "Primus Runaan?"

"You will in time, little one." The charr grumbles annoyed as if he had been asked this question a lot. Callum pities him. At least, he does at first.

Before he knew the truth.

The cubs had all cheered at that. Had cheered during classes and training. Though some of them weren't looking forward to drills and waking up early.

Callum hadn't minded the early rising parts.

"Primus Runaan, when will we choose our Warband?" Runaan's ears perk up at the question raised by a single black-furred female charr with white circles around her eyes. It was a great question. The primus had wanted important questions and not stupid or dumb questions.

"When you feel like the ones you had befriended are worth fighting for and binding your lives too." the primus had answered.

Callum looks to the charr that had saved him from the older charr's bullying.

"Storm Warband, go to the desert and work on finding the oasis before the soul fangs do!" Tribune Tiadrin yells as she sits on her raptor beside her mate, Lain. Her helmet almost casts a shadow over her face as the sun's rays cast over them. "You have an hour to make it before the soul fangs are set loose. Go!"

Callum Stormclaw had never seen Soren nor Nyx pale as fast at the mention of soul fangs. The snake would take victims' souls and leave their bodies to haunt the desert as husks. The thought of his Warband becoming husks made the cadet shiver.

Rayla snorts at her warbands reactions and jumps onto her raptor. "Enough worrying about what if's. Let's go before we find out what husks look like!" she commands and starts racing towards the oasis location.

Callum races after her on his mount, not bothering to look behind him to see if the other two are following him. They were. He could hear them panicking at every single noise.

They ran into Primus Runaan, who acted as their obstacle, and had no choice but to fight him. Soren and Rayla were the fighters while he and Nyx were elementalists and the guardians. The support that barely gets credited.

Survive. Act or die.

"Stormpaw gets bitten! Fortunately for you, the soul fangs were fangless and couldn't turn your legionnaire into a husk. You all failed this test!" Primus Runaan yells as he watches Rayla get up off the ground and bumps her shoulder into Soren's. Her ears were down and her fur was covered in sand. "You will attempt this again in the morning where it's hot and you could get heatstroke stroke if you're not careful. Get some rest, Storm Warband."

Rayla turns to Callum as he leads his raptor next to her's. Her face was caught between a snarl and pity. Pity for him? He doesn't know.

"I didn't see that the soul fang was behind me until it was too late. I lacked awareness of my surroundings. If this was a real mission-"

Callum stops her with a raised paw. "You didn't fail your team if you're about to say that. You messed up. That's all. You're too good to put down yourself. You're learning to be a leader, someone that we all can rely on. It takes multiple mistakes to learn from them." He says it calmly but his heart was racing so fast and his fur feels unnaturally hot underneath.

Rayla stares at him for a good long minute. Her white fur and purple markings underneath her eyes were stunning, even if they were covered in sand and dirt. Then she smiles and punches him in the shoulder.

"I told you not to make those heartfelt speaches, sky guy. But thanks, Callum." she teases but he knows it was out of fun and the tension had already left her shoulders for the evening. "Let's go back to the Silvergrove and have that dinner you told me you want to cook tonight! I'll keep Soren and Nyx from disturbing you this time."

There was a smug smile on her face. Callum knows that she'll be the one disturbing him while he makes their supper. He finds himself not caring as much anymore. Her company is always welcome.

"Is this to get first dibs on dinner this time or just to annoy me?" He asks as they make their way to the raptor stables. Soren and Nyx were already discarding their armor in their respective rooms and it gave the other two time to talk. Without interruptions. He could feel the smugness radiating off the legionnaire and it makes him roll his eyes good naturally.

"Yes."

May I introduce you all, Rayla Stormpaw of the Storm Warband!

Callum Stormclaw will be keeping one eye open when he sleeps tonight :) no, he didn't steal her snackies from Uncle Runaan. He vouched for Soren who stole her snackies from Uncle Runaan.

The Legionnaires Cub

On ao3 soon!!! But on tumblr now :)

"Is Elliot feeling alright, Primus Runaan? Callum and I have noticed that he hasn't been reporting to training lessons this week." Legionnaire Rayla Stormpaw said after saluting her uncle and former primus, Runaan Moonshadow. Her mate and fellow member of the Storm Warband, Callum Stormclaw salutes as well beside her. "He hasn't even responded to our letters we've sent him in weeks either."

Runaan nods in understanding. He bows his head after he takes a long sigh. That only worried the two parents more. "Elliot has been vanishing to the fields north of here. Close to the midnight desert. We have sent a scout to observe but they haven't returned yet. Elliot has been growing distant from his warband and to me, his primus, as well."

Rayla looks over at Callum and the two nod in unison. Whatever happened to their cub, rather for the good or the bad, they need to find out what.

For Callum, he knew checking in with Runaan was the best call and would do anything for his mate.

But for Rayla, this was a punch to the gut. If she hadn't left Elliot as an infant for Runaan to take care of- if she hadn't gone on that mission that took her away from the life she made. This would've been avoided or at least prevented from getting out of claw like this.

"We'll find him and the scout, Primus. We'll leave as soon as we can." Rayla salutes her uncle and goes to leave but a claw on her shoulder stops her.

"Just be careful, Rayla. There are dangers rising every day around the midnight desert. Dangers that you and Callum won't be able to face alone." warns her uncle as he steps away from them and heads up towards his office.

Callum doesn't speak about the warning until after they are safely back in the barracks and packing up for their adventure.

"Are we bringing the rest of the warband with us? You heard what Runaan said about the dangers-" he shuts his mouth abruptly when his mate turns to glare at him.

"I know about the dangers. We faced them head on before, just the two of us, and we never failed our mission. But this mission, Callum, is personal. It involves our cub." she says, sighing as she sits on his bed and rubbing her eyes with her paws. "It also involves a scout. I can see why you mentioned the warband, but it's still personal."

Callum goes to sit next to her and puts an arm around her while giving her a little smile. "I understand, love. Claudia, Soren, and Nyx have seen you with Elliot before. They're worried about him too and they're worried for you as well. Hell, I am more worried for the two of you than anyone else combined." He says, putting his head on top of hers while listening to her hum in agreement. He continues softly, gently, "I know you don't like mixing our warband into our personal lives, but they're our family too. They will understand and Soren will keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, I'll grant Nyx and Claudia permission to beat him up if he hits a nerve."

That made Rayla snort and she squeezes his paw that rests on her shoulder. The guardian had a way with words. She wouldn't lie but she found him using his charm on her super attractive. She knows that she's being stubborn. This mission is personal but she knows her bandmates won't object to rescue a cub they all helped raise.

Storm Warband is and forever will be a family.

Even the future generations will be storm warband bound.

Forever.

Rayla tilts her head up towards Callum's and he rests his head against hers. They haven't had time to just be with each other. Alone. Intimate. The only other time was… when they had Eliot. That was years ago. It felt like forever since they were allowed to be in the same barracks. Sometimes in the same bed when the other had nightmares or couldn't sleep.

I really need to ask for time off so Callum and I can visit Ezran in Katolis. Maybe visit my parents stationed at the Storm Spire. Thought Rayla as she pulls away from a flustered Callum who wasn't expecting a kiss at all. They haven't kissed in a while or even hugged. It was almost like the world was keeping them separated until now.

"What are you thinking?" He asks, looking at her with those emeralds that trapped her even as a cub. He still feels warm when she puts her paws on his cheek which he leans into subconsciously. As if his body missed her more than he did.

"About how we're going to explain to the others that we're horrible parents? C'mon, soldier, let's go reunite with the Storm Warband." she says, leaving him on the bed and packing the rest of their supplies in her bag. She stops when she feels a pair of paws wrap around her waist.

"We're not horrible parents, love. Our cub just has a mind of his own right now. He's a teenager. It's what they do."

"Yeah, I know. I just miss the little cub he used to be."

"We all do. Let's go make sure we find our cub and make amends with him then." Callum says kissing his mate's ear and letting her go to get into his armor as well. Once he was in full armor, the staff he held was brighter and had made Rayla's fur glow like a halo. He finds himself slowly falling in love with her once again.

"Why are you giving me that look?" Ever the observant one in the warband and the guardian shrugs. "Let's move out."

"Yes, sir." Callum follows the thief out of their barracks and couldn't help but smirk at the back of her head. He sees the blush on her ears. He gets her every time.

And it never gets old.

GUYS I HAVE A UNIQUE AU THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!

Guild Wars 2 AU.

Featuring, Callum and Rayla as charr.

Rayla is in the moon legion and Callum's in the Sky legion.

They meet at the fahrar because Callum transfers to the moon legion after his mother gets killed.

His father was a moon legion tribune before dying in battle.

Rayllum decides to make a warband together and they add Soren, Nyx, and Claudia.

Their warband's name is Nexus.

Harrow and Ezran are both charr but they both live in Katolis ruins where they attempt to flee from Viren's control. They meet Callum's warband and reunite with long lost friends.

Rayla and callum are childhood friends, Claudia and Soren don't know their father, and Nyx is just.... Nyx.

Charr usually want nothing to do with their children when their weaned off after a year so they send the cubs to the fahrar.

A fahrar is a Academy where cubs form their warband (if they do) and train to be fighters. But I'm taking this that Rayla was never away from her parents or her uncles.

Runaan was the instructor of her class so the only people she clearly never knew was her parents. But Lain and Tiadrin still send her mail.

This story will be written.... one day. Till then, I'll be making their character references in gw2.
