A soft whistling sound wakes me up, I find myself in my room. I feel much better, but Getting up is still a challenge as my chest aches every time I try.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDLLUuzVW
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQtc357AKN
After a few attempts, I drag myself to the edge of the bed and roll down softly to get up, then walk up to the window.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETGEyxUDD
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0K7wD3Unn
The sun is not visible but the sky seem dimly lit, stars are still visible, and now that I see it, the planet has two moons, one is blue and another is silver, except the blue moon is broken.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimaep4zpwt
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCmtalvwSU
I can hear the whistling sound. And now that I am awake, might as well take a stroll.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psBOxSkzR
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yd2mIf1Vk
But before that I tie a cloth around my left eye which is making me feel dizzy, this place is filled with energies.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvJJXtRY7
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1d5qBzn7V
I open the window, and using the branches as foot hold, climb down slowly, but just as I am about to reach the bottom, my foot slip and I am about to fall flat on my face, but using my unbelievable strength I use my arms and legs like a cat to spread the impact across the ground.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx1UcLmTtx
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet52A9jXSU
Although it pains my chest, I power through it637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CRqfD3cwp
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrSzl7VLP
“Cool..., lets go.” I say to myself optimistically.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgchrrAJKm
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmiwq8CtyO
But if someone saw me walking around I am sure they would avoid me.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuZihIVuP
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvgwdb42Om
There are less people around than I expected, maybe people sleep till sunrise here. And this place feels like it’s based in center of an Oasis, there are lots of trees and bushes.
I follow the sound and arrive into a small clearing not too far away behind the mansion. There are some wooden swords, some sort of equipment.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwL3utxZmW
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0iV7IUlcZ
I am sure the whistling sound must be coming from here. But there is no one here?637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfIOBE0SjV
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqBWzUDLGq
Just kidding, they think they can ambush me, they are on my right in the darkness of the trees. I summon a dagger just in case.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv24tgj57ri
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOW9ve7BYB
I quickly turn towards my right, ready to defend, but the flash of bright golden hair dazed me. I snap into action as the sword nears me, I divert it using calculated precision, tilting it so that the flat side slides against my neck, but suddenly Gloria switches her grip, trying to stop herself.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1KKaH4c0K
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg6LchJpk5
It works for me but seems like it didn’t quite work for her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zEFV31mmd
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j5xImZbQ7
Gold particles disappearing in the air signified her failed attempt to use her powers.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ2KyTAvQs
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrbPQs1WFb
I catch her shoulders. Frail looking like any woman’s, But she sure is strong, and It felt like I am holding ambers.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1w3p22fe4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSqN5lhjxt
A hissing sound starts to come from my hands.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nah4CCSnP
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhImomN262x
“Get your hands off me!” she says as she tries to force my hands away.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnwW5ShiIW
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6RPewBnmy
“You should be in bed. I nearly killed you.” she says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNgcfKgTB
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRTFSctCE
“Don’t flatter yourself, and do you attack people out of the blue if they approach you?” I ask in a serious tone637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9yHQoMQM6
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hbCktYHjF
“Excellent, so you CAN~ talk?!” she says forcing a hint of surprise and frustration in her voice637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBw36p7di7
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45d9y7xqJb
“This is my training ground. Restricted. I hate people Intruding during practice.” She says arrogantly.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7qdr6Ju4
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtsbeSfd5V
She flicks her head to slight right “I didn’t injure you did I?”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSb2LQGpy
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oX51oGTaw
I don’t speak to strangers much, trying to save energy is a habit I developed during my time as the best hitman. She is just my contractor’s daughter.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFp6UyLgj
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSifIBh7SoQ
I smirk, looking around.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIo9bs77vW

“Oh, so you can smile. I though you were some serious guy.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtaQaBrOwZ
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnMZJuv24v
I stroll around, looking at the equipment. But as I turn towards Gloria again, I catch a wooden sword. Old memories, unpleasant ones return to me as it instantly crush the sword in my hand and throw it aside.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aR3kFiVpA
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejCuBEsUpi
“Wha—Hey! If you didn’t want to practice you could have said so! Why break it?!” she says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZzx1aiXm9
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWkOHlfxGn
“If it were a random person that forced a sword in my hand, they would be draining on the ground by now.” I snap, only to realize that I am way out of line.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJ4pciCqE
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kuiIbtKj6
“….” Gloria flinches637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPlyOYQDgh
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdrqI0XDTU
“Sorry. I didn’t intend to do that. Swords and I don’t get along.” I say as I pinch my nose disappointed on myself.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE225AI6Q9S
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArDxpu9HvZ
“No, it’s fine.” A small, almost surprised smile touched her lips. “Startling, is all. Not many outside my family dare raise their voice at me.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZDWhnB4cd
“You aren’t angry?” I ask637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPz1rEVhS
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYuAzKrJi
“No, I was just trying to get you to spar with me, forgetting you are injured. I was the one at fault, so I will let you off the hook this once.” she chuckles, mischief in her voice.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8kx860nvl
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvef6eB0GkQ
“A spar?” I considered it. Good exercise, but not worth reopening these wounds. “Maybe Another time.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNfNTyA75o
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYykCp0wXR
“Then we have a deal?” she asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqCOaAVhYy
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRYddPe1gW
“Deal” I assure her with a thumbs up as I transition into a cross-armed pose.
Keeping up this polite facade was exhausting. So much wasted energy.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84l1svtYZ
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznYVmIGxh

“Magic?” I offer with a shrug “Maybe, who knows?” motion637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyD4qJ8TK9
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1192DZ8e
“Don’t take me as a fool. That staff was not there before. How did you make it appear out of nowhere? And I know you have an artifact which stops magic around you, mine didn’t work when I attacked you earlier.” she asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3F45zmoi1
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpR5omm7PL
I had a feeling she might ask this.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAo3hxhMcU

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTwajc8n1D

“What rank are you anyway?” she asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIKJp27B6F

“Rank?” I ask back in confusion637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sazGPYv3p
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIavmb87aU
“Yeah, as in Adventurer Rank. I am called the ‘Flame queen’ and my Rank is called Silver Hand. Burned a Wyvern into a crisp with single blow using my fire magic once Although I was trying to hide my power.” She says with a smug voice.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQNQJar69Y
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6u7f4VeeY
“Adventurer, huh? I am not one, I am a Hitman.” I say637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoaTVZxefQ
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11LQugANs2
“Oldzheil did mention that before. What does that even mean? Is that some kind of title?” she asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlI40M1GnI
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqd0Vn72R
my stomach lets out a deep growl as if a lion roar.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOWPOApk44

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz50QzL9ZN
“But I don’t think you would like what I eat.” She says.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXViSEtnMB

“You know, when I first saw you, I Mistook you for some god’s descendant too, Your eyes, although strange, speaks of wisdom and knowledge not meant For humans to achieve your age, It’s unbelievable no matter how I think of it.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PD2rnj3Ni
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7LAkEYbCh
“Seems like the Old dwarf spilled more than I expected,” I say.
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTiGFIqLK9
Maybe she's right about the age thing, though.
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRU6bdHLA
Telling her I'm decades older felt wrong somehow.
I lost my childhood working to meet expectations; perhaps being young again wasn't so bad. I shift the topic.
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREK4yBZ1D
“So—these adventurers—they are what, monster hunters?”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5vkrHee5I

“So, What’s your plan after this? Like, what do you want to do in life? You already defeated extremely powerful foes and lived to tell the tale. I am sure you can easily become a captain of some knight’s order in a capital city if you wanted.” She asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0tn7iCUU0
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGn4TNtmM
Her ideas are alluring, now that I reflect on it, I never took time to peacefully sit down and think about what I want to do after I found Ava.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonxJ0DPBWI
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQtzTooBC

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdWW5YFpvw

Gloria does not enquire further. But after a moment of quite walking she speaks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBHiaMqWR
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfgl4F2FC2
“Why not become an adventurer just like me? I have never asked anyone this because no one is worthy around here, but maybe we can become friends?” she says as she spins and walks backward while she face me637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMwKtUcKCy

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUu7BrH2kn

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJH17luTLn

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kWKnQgvvm
“Take off? Oh didn’t Warzheil tell you? I cannot take off my artifact. It is bound to me with Curse of Binding.” I say637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt20MHVQ2W
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhMlcWSr9e
“Curse of Binding? But that’s a curse lost during time of the Elder Gods. Just how old is that artifact? And how did you even get your hands on it?” She asks with a gasp637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorlUDEhcgY

The doors are open and a Cat woman is mopping the front of the guild.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhMiSugvhu

“Hmm… strange man, I couldn’t feel my mana near him.” Canthrine dwells on the thought for a few moments before getting back to her chore.
Gloria nods as we walk into the Adventurer’s Guild. Polished hardwood floors gleamed under soft, magical light emanating from runes carved into the ceiling beams. A long counter dominated one wall, several empty stools before it, while comfortable-looking leather chairs were arranged near a large, unlit hearth on the other side. Quiet, for now.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcowT4Om9fe

“Wha-?, Excuse me, I am THE receptionist and I am 19, a full fledged adult. And I will soon be posted to a capital city too. Sister, Who is this rude per…..son?!” her voice drifts from annoyed to shocked when she notices my hand.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9bfeE9eQr

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKCZjbDMY
“Him? I don’t see much in him though. His left eye is patched by a cloth, his left hand looks like a gauntlet out of the demon treasury.” She says with a bored expression637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeKWYQpPLW
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeVcHmdcwO
“Fia, If one of your adventurer becomes above Vanquisher Rank, you would finally get a job in one of the main branch, Right?” Gloria says, gesturing at me.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ65MNe7ws
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e9LTtERrv
“So you are telling me this guy here is that capable? Even if it’s you, I need some proof to accept your vouch.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WSQJkIjbp

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiVA5vmjv7

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPkOmR3JVC
But Shortly after, I hear another giggle. I look up, slightly backing away from the counter, and see a powerfully built woman perched atop a counter. Muscle corded her arms and shoulders, compact and dense beneath practical white clothes and a half-leather jacket, but she moved with a surprising grace when she later jumped down. Not just brute strength, but honed power.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TxO32SvGi

“Guild Master Kainia, You returned from Holy Kingdom?” Gloria asks.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8hO70udu2
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNQRScnNkb
“Hello, Gloria. Thanks for taking care of our town in my absence.” She says as she jumps down from the top near Gloria.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8FWpdSGRs
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJmjcXFJB4
Walking up to me she realizes something is wrong with her mana, her expression gives her away.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn277v8sz5L
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkVkceHH68
Kainia’s eyes narrow on me. “No mana In or around you… An artifact?”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFqydeic2F
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWktE30fiO
“As expected of the boss of the place. You know your stuff.” I say637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVN5rDiMa1

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThEjINQ5Pq
Kainia nods slowly, her sharp eyes assessing me. "So it is true." She lets out a short, barking laugh, devoid of humor. "I like you already kid."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXMRwuCyyd
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsoV9hO4eh
Kainia leans a hand on the counter, her expression turning serious. "And to think such a youngling is the 'Demon Traitor'. You're already a hot topic in the Holy Kingdom, you know?"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZL7sPvB1m
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkotbffC3UA
“Me?” I ask637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFynxZLMsBV
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli2vOMQZvG
"Yeah, you," Kainia confirms, seemingly enjoying the dramatic effect. "The Holy Kingdom realized you killed the Demon Lord – their prophet, the one who talks to gods, apparently saw the whole thing."
Sinfia gasps, her earlier mockery vanishing, replaced by wide-eyed shock as she glances nervously between me and the Guild Master. She had heard my claim.
"They're saying," Kainia continues, ticking points off on her fingers, "that a 'half-demon' betrayed the demon race..."
Half-demon? Where did they get that? I think, catching Gloria giving me a quick, questioning look.
"...held his own against the Light Borne Hero..."
Gloria's eyes widen “So Oldzheil wasn’t lying?” she asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LdEZFyDop
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUabfulP43B
“You still had your doubts, huh?” I ask with a sigh
"...and then killed the Demon Lord," Kainia finishes, driving the point home.
Sinfia looks faint, clutching the counter for support, finally grasping the reality behind my earlier statement. Gloria lets out a slow breath, seemingly confirming this part to herself while the other details swirl.
Kainia smirks slightly. "Made you a wanted criminal and a legend overnight." She pauses, letting the weight of her words settle in the now silent reception area. "Point is, they’ve put out a request to every guild, mine included. Compulsory quest: report any information on your whereabouts."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQ3eny0sx
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd2h0BhNrb
“W-w-wait, tell me you aren’t joking boss!” Sinfia says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2p6ly9nH2
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wF2fFeekP
“Not at all, Sinfia, you should apologies this man before he eats you.” She says teasingly to Sinfia, which works.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHQqWTyLzJ

Sinfia is about to get up but I gesture her to sit down and relax.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkFrLxEzTS
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFCIlIrg29
“Ok, first of all, I may look like this, but I am not a Demon. I am human by heart.” I pause “I am here to apply as an adventurer, so, are you going to let me take a test or should I leave? Because I have other things to do.” I get straight to the point.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWIzpFBPUS
“Hold your horses now, there is no way we can make a demon into an adventurer, but I will make it a special case for you. I have ears around the town you know. Since you are a guest who saved our elder Warzheil, I will be delighted to help you create a fake card.” She suggests637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9zRoOVFvm
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZwkTwcyfS
“I see a fake card….” I dwell on it for a moment637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AH14KPqhj
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZVlYDCoZK
“I can register you as a human adventurer with a prostitute hand or something. As for the test, I need you to bring some big hunt with you while you are here. I am sure you don’t want people hunting you know where you are because that’s what will happen if I told the main branches of adventurer guild about you.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7E2Rbhexa
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPpNVuistj
“I think that’s a good plan, so I just need to register as a newbie, hunt some beasts, and rise through the ranks?” I ask637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJlUPCywC7
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwVFRskRGH
“Bingo. It seems like our Gloria found a smart boyfriend for herself, I was starting to think she would be alone all her life.” The guild master huffs teasing Gloria.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSgdBHiF06

637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuFmsliMRy
“so? What did you decide?” Kainia asks637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f5lJsLRVj
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5gMOSsBvA
“Your proposition is not bad, ok let’s go with that.” I say637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKUcPucH7
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQZwYAti0m
“I will get register you on Steel Sentinel rank which is the 8th rank out of 10, hunt a good beast and I will raise your rank.” She says handing me over a small tempered Blue-Steel wristband that fails to attach to my wrist, so I try to bend it to fit my wrist.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEzsNOBxx
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShuT0Z70Tn
“Killing the demon lord has it’s benefits It seems. Thank you. Although it doesn’t fit my hand.” I say trying to fix the band, Gloria turn to leave, I follow her as I fix the band, but Kainia stops us as we near the gate.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN99dKXjXIE
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UD34eYwba
“Take this advice to heart. Do not use your powers, items or artifacts openly. Kingdoms rage Wars over such precious commodities. They will try anything to strip you off your things if you are not under a kingdom.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuFVca3lxp
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1er5qyOMvT
“Why tell me this?” I ask637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZwLpJLtO
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg97LlzXIOy
“Your ancestors must have worked hard as adventurers to obtain such precious artifact. I can respect that.” She says637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6hA2kTtJ
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFyvbisubo
Well, It’s good that she doesn’t know that it’s not an artifact. She is a good person.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ko8BbXCa

We step into the pre-dawn twilight. Just as our eyes adjust, a party of five adventurers approaches the entrance, moving with the synchronized efficiency of a veteran team, their boots crunching softly on the street. Their gear, though travel-worn, is high quality; the leader, encased in gleaming golden plate armor, wears the unmistakable Obsidian Black wristband of a Reaver. The bulky warrior beside him sports the Burnished Bronze of a Vanquisher. Slightly ahead of them, hurrying towards the door while glancing back, is a man in flamboyant silks carrying a lute.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3VqA5TFB
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0HNL9sjx
Preoccupied in adjusting my band to my wrist, I don't sidestep quite fast enough as the bard reaches the threshold. Our shoulders collide. He yelps as the waterskin he was lifting flies from his grasp, splashing dark liquid down his colorful tunic.
"Seven bloody hells!" Valerius—the bard—exclaims, stumbling back and staring aghast at the spreading stain with theatrical horror. "My Aquarian silk! Utterly ruined! Have you no eyes, man?!" Real irritation underlies his dramatic tone.
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzxS3gifAk
"Easy, Valerius," the Vanquisher rumbles, planting his heavy frame squarely in the doorway, blocking our path. His Bronze band is prominent as his hand rests near his axe hilt. He looks me up and down, gaze lingering contemptuously on my blue-steel band. "Watch yourself when approaching your betters, Sentinel. Some 'accidents' have steep prices."
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpLqSFEJI4
Gloria Step forward, he hair flaring with amber particles.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5dbemAzmb
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV7vYDkx0i
Gloria draws herself up beside me, her posture unwavering, her hand near her Polished Silver band. "He was rushing blindly toward an occupied exit. Perhaps even those," she adds coolly, pointedly glancing at the leader's Obsidian Black band, "self proclaimed ‘betters’ should mind their own path."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlyDzEEyzY
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJwqve2tU
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3372gmu8
The leader in gold armor remains silent, visor fixed forward, assessing. Behind him, the veiled mage and the shadow figure watch impassively.
Valerius recovers, striking a pose despite his damp tunic. "A tragedy! Such artistry warrants recompense! Perhaps," his eyes flick to Gloria's rank and bearing, "the lady understands? A private performance, maybe?"
I step slightly forward, drawing the focus. "It was unintentional," I state raising my left hand a little suggesting a gesture of de-escalation, my gaze fixed past the others onto the impassive golden helm of the Reaver leader.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmu5sqQRHh
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKDvCitP7P
My stance is relaxed, although the Vanquisher seems to be raring for a fight.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJmxYudaQ
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrD8Tu3Fme
The Vanquisher bristles. "That all? It seem we need to teach you how to respect elders. You think that Silver Hand protects—"
"Rank means less out here," I cut him off, I say flatly, going out of my way to avoid an unnecessary fight, addressing only the leader. "Rank doesn't grant you the whole doorway. Travel costs coin. And Don't mistake the colour of a man's wristband for the threat he might be hiding just because he works the fields."
The challenge hangs, palpable. The Vanquisher glares, momentarily silenced. Valerius raises an intrigued eyebrow. The leader remains still, but I sense his focus sharpen behind the visor. The veiled mage shifts, lifting a hand subtly.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8olSF5ITq
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06tGN2zxrc
“A small lesson for one so young as you.” She says in a whispering voice.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUlI8ikiCO
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128BaQ9Yx6
A faint thrum vibrates the air as mana gathers around her fingertips, Condensing into a sharp water stream aimed my way. It touches the field around me – less than a breath against my senses – and then its form destabilises, falling at my feet, wetting them. A silent crack like static discharge, and the nascent spell vanishes utterly, leaving no trace near my inert Blue-Steel band.
The mage gasps audibly, physically recoiling, her entire frame rigid beneath her veil.
Every member of the Reaver party reacts instantly. The Vanquisher stares, his jaw slackening in disbelief. Valerius pales, eyes wide. The shadow figure becomes a knot of pure tension. The Reaver leader's helmet snaps fully toward me, his stillness radiating sudden, intense scrutiny. An Iron Guard nullifying magic? Impossible.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlIcZLi8ni
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMT37YF77j
“Now I am wet too, that makes us Equal.” I say
The Reaver holds the stunned silence for a long, calculating moment, clearly recalibrating the threat assessment. When he finally speaks, his voice is dangerously smooth, stripped bare of any condescension. "Enough. Hedvard" The command is clipped, directed at the Vanquisher, but his unseen eyes bore into me. "Inside. Now."
He starts to turn but pauses deliberately beside me, his presence radiating controlled power. His voice drops, a low murmur meant only for me, sharp as obsidian shards. "Don’t think I didn’t notice your artifact, Sentinel." The leader says with a voice dripping with venom. "Artifacts attract attention. The wrong kind. And that behavior of your will be your gravedigger." He holds my gaze through the visor slit, a silent promise of future scrutiny. "Remember that."
Without awaiting acknowledgment, he brushes past me and disappears through the open doorway into the quiet shadows of the guild hall. The bulky warrior gives me a final, hateful glare before lumbering inside. Valerius, looking thoroughly unnerved, scurries after them, followed swiftly by the still-shaken mage and the silent shadow, their figures quickly swallowed by the hall's depths.
The immediate threat recedes, but the tension lingers heavily in the air, the silence from the empty guild hall behind us somehow amplifying it. Gloria lets out a slow, shaky breath beside me.
"Well," she murmurs, looking from the empty doorway back to me, her expression troubled. "That was… more than I expected. I have a very bad feeling we'll be seeing that Obsidian band again."
I stare into the guild hall's depths where they vanished, the leader's parting words echoing. "No," I agree quietly, a cold certainty settling within me. "I have a feeling this isn’t the last we will see of them." I turn away from the guild entrance. "Let's go I am Hungry."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMKo4RM8i
