All quiets one's mind, as the movement is devoid and masked by silence, never ending presence of peace on the dark edge of the blackout inside, all silent, all peace, it always lingers as what death does entail on the end of one's journey.
As with the silence, a breathing was heard from not too far, lay floating in one's mind, it came towards the floating body on the crater far beyond the unseeable universe, it vouches for the word on the tones that distorted mass.
“How’s life? I always wonder what you are doing from time to time.”
As the being, existing outside of views, speaking vile words of mankind.
“Vile, mankind, what a choice of word, vouching for the destructive actions against my existence without a single drop of vile action of mine, what cruel world do you live in, wake up, Hina, it’s time to see the witches..
As the voice stopped, only silence was concurred around her, once more.
Waking up on the wooden wagon, the sun was shining on the bright blue skies, as a mountain across the horizon just right beside the east, its length was near of the best of ours, as it climbed higher than much of what mankind has been climbing. Looking back inside, the two of them, dying asleep, working the nightshift of theirs, I wonder what they did, fighting monsters? Fighting demons, I wonder, what this world has to offer, this rifle vector of mine, it seems like it shoots some sort of energy, I just, can’t think much, I wonder if they have ever done some research on this world before, maybe they can explain, maybe this universe, work a little different than ours? I feel like the drug has worn off a bit, I feel my dreaded retching a bit, I need to take another one before I take another option out, but maybe, I could try to move a little more, be more independent.
I should just relax, take it easy, but my heart burns, I need to calm down, maybe, I can explore the world, the town in a bit..
As the carriage moving, the scenery was nothing short of treasuries, as the grass all around with the roads was woods and once more, the road is much Biggers, as many minute by, people in carriage with different type of decorations and some's even with gold in colour, with people wearing armor of the olden times as she looks on the back.
As time moves, the grass and scenery become all too common, as she looks on the horizon, in which the mountain hasn't changed much, with the speed of the carriage moving at a jogging pace for the horse. But as time passed, the road became smooth, as the streets now with lantern posts all around, looking back as the two still slumber on by, as with it, Hina laying low and sitting beside the carriage, just pondering all the seconds and on, as with it, the eyes slumber on.
As it slumbers, the sound can be heard, with it, her eyes open on the pace of urgency, as she wakes up, still on the side of the carriage, there graves, holding hina by the shoulders, with the word she is muttering inaudible, as the brain getting to power on, as the words continues.
“Wake up hina, we're here. You are a heavy sleeper.”
Heavy sleeper, said the person who sleeps while drooling on the wooden board, I need to try to focus a bit..
As on another post, it seems like the guards were checking around, with tybur talking to one of the guards outside the back of the carriage. With it, the carriage moved forwards, it was just another checkpoint, as the horizon not very far out was a small town.
As the suns now covered by the clouds on the horizon, it was black and larger that took the skies in half. With hina jumping off the carriage, as grave join with her, walking besides, with tybur handing some paper, paper cash on this world, interesting.
With him counting on the paper he has, multiple with layers upon layers, with him replying,
“Right, here is your take, 560, that should cover it,”
Him moving his hand to the rider, who took it politely, with him counting it one by one, with each seconds, as then he put the cash to his cargo pocket, with it both of them shaking hands as the rider says
“Hah! Nice working with you, may we meet again.”
With tybur, his smile. As they talk more, it waves at times, as standing on the rock beside the checkpoints, looking far beyond the grasses, where more trees as the surrounding of this town was flat lands filled with farms land and barn by each acre, with the horizon, whose mountain is not much smaller, but noticeable, as the skies, were blacken, with the sound coming from the back, as grave shouted once.
“Hina, we are ready, let’s move, yes?”
With it, trying to stand back, with the boots on the grass, as she walks to the road once more.
Walking with them, with tybur in front, following them both, on the checkpoints, it has stone pillars and a twin tower bridge connecting them both, with a poster on the side, some sort of a wanted poster by a person, as it was colour. Void eyes, pure black, with short black hair and seem to be extremely young in face shapes. Looking on the far edge was just wired and barbed, as in the far distance, soldiers patrolling all around.
Walking towards the gates, as one by one moving in, as the guard looked upon the void eyes, as all the guards wear not of a human shape mask, but a helmet of some sorts, with engraving all around the armor, as he stared into hina diligently at every step she takes, with the guard station there silently watches.
With them, Graves pulls the arm of Hina, as they both walk a little faster for a room for her, as the grave replies, as they finally cross the gate.
“Oh boy, sorry about the shade eyes they’ve given you, newcomer are always seems as that, if you can’t tell, there’s been more guard now because of a local attack cause by a new person, which is one in hunt, so yeah, you can see the poster all around the city, if you find the perpetrator, you can get a hefty rewards. Dead or alive of course.
Walking to the rocky path, with the side around farms and hut all around, with the front of the roads, where multiple building of rocks and roofs, the architecture is not of a mediaeval time of sort, as the roofs weren’t built by thatched straw, or hay of sort. With each step, more people are seen stepping about, with each on clothing, were by casual wears are the farmer or some homeboy, as other who are with robes and bags with the stereotype of merchants, as course with people on plate gears or robes with different colours represent that of guilds by each squadron of theirs. Walking towards what is a plaza, following the steps of twos, where moving to a market, shining all around of peoples, as hina can see a squabble about a man on a stall, where the customer shout at the man, who is muscular, selling an apple, as with their squabbling, two guards step in on the wide marketplace.
With it, the place is no tomorrow, on the outside looks like small town, but the streets actually exist, with side cross and a road for horse or other animal that they ride all around, but all the moving, still feels like all corner as being watched by thousands of eyes, it’s nothing too unfamiliar of sort, but I can feel every consensus seeing about of me.
With each quarter feels like a plaza ass blossoming all around live, much more than the grassy field, as with them, suddenly stopping on the tracts, as the front, multiple people armed and prepared, with them, still with robes, moving to one of the building beside side skirt of the town-like city. It was made by sort of brick rocks as the base, with the wood beans and a wall made of colours woods of lightly green with three floors, with two floors, modest and not too big, as on the side, a stall of sort that is connected to the wooden pillar of the place, a receptionist, of thom standing there, as minding their own world, with the word title of the facility. It’s hard to read, with the amount of knowledge I have with this new profound language, I can barely and hardly read much, but I can feel what the name or title is supposed to be, a guild of sort, right, is this where we are going, wild.
With the door entrance open, two doors that’s grand heights, with them moving through, bypass a whole new atmosphere of perspective.
With her looking inside, with some rooms and tablets, it was quite peaceful and quiet, as there some multiple adventurer setting beside the windows with the colleagues of them, no more than thirteen people in the grand halls, tablets all around, a second floors, architecture of a ancient advance feels onto, with clockworks and somes light blue energy on the walls, with a giant sphere behinds the counters, where each side of it was a stair leading up to the second floors, with the outside looking of that to a normal Tavern, advancement inside of it flows.
As with their path, walking towards the counters, one of the human of this world, the ears point high upwards, face of neutral yet, with it glasses to the unannounced newcomer, hairs short and clean, it was one of those cyberpunk hairstyle, where it’s straight and short, her hair was that of reddish pink as her eyes glee more of red pops, stature of high with semi slim body, she was, beautiful, unable to looks onto her eyes, but it won’t stop me from saying that, of what gorgeous of being she was, it would make idols of korea and japan jealous, this world.
With each step, all the eyes are watching, well one on the front, but still, why do people look at me weird, I’ll just keep my head a steady low..
As coming close to the desk with hina taking a step further a little, as grave and tybur on the counter, with hina two meters aways, as with tybur putting his arms to the desk, with a paper of sort, it shines with a tint of silvers and reflected purples lights, as she looks onto tybur in the eyes, her face with a reckoning demeanor, as she spokes, the sounds of her, it’s quiet but gentle comparing to the loud sound all around.
“So, you have completed the task to execute twenty death hounds, good job, with the rented gears that you take, I’ve calculated so it’s fine.
As she show her hand, a glove that is black, a enchantment circle with engraving as it glows red, as she swings her hand to make a gesture, a panel of crystal emerged out of thin airs, it was red, with much more panels, as with, she tapping it as sort of a floating screen hovering by her bidding.
With her muttering garden of numbers, as she places her arm on the desk as a support for placing her on the hands, as she looks down in complexion.
“Right, so, with the expense that your gear is worth, 13 thousands of your net gross, with the minus of expense as yours, 5670, with the total of.. 7330, sense you didn’t have any overtime, so no interest on it, alright, you want cash or on the universal safe bank?”
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
As grave whispers to the ears of tybur.
“I told you this gear is too expensive, we only use this for like one day!... 16 hours!”
As with tybur, lowering his head to match graves.
“At least we did it in style, it’s a good way to build reputations, the villages saw us with fashion and the way we fight, kind of, It will pay off long term.
As the muttering ended, tybur answered.
“Right, how about, quarter and a half to the bank, and rest on cash.”
With her reply
“ So 85% to the bank and rest on cash, got it.”
With the counter girl, taking the silver tickets, as she glide it to a small stone beside her, it was red, as she come it close, with the energy around the rocks form around the tickets, with the seconds it now stop glowing, lying dormant, and the profound silver that emit was loss, as the ticket now colour was of silver without light nor weird effect all around.
With each time move, the time feels uneven, still standing here, as the thought lie around, the eyes of all corner of the rooms, unseen eyes watching her, the clothing, the backpack, with a seem like a cardboard bag attach to one of the hooks with many pouch on the belts, it was different in term of looks and colours.
With the seconds felt an uneven dilation of time and thoughts, as her eyes slightly closed and looked to the wooden ground.
The noise of all surroundings merge into the white backgrounds, as the second past, with it, looking in front of her, face up, with the hand of hina, being lifting by the hands, it felts of smooth, her hands was clean and tidy, as the nails were pink as it was very well maiden, I did take my glove, right, I did, I’m so messed up.
With the some coming from her, the eyes were bright and eager
“Are you there? C’mon, let’s get you registered, this will not be for long, trust me.”
As she slightly pulling her arms, as looking on the front, with the two of them not wearing the gold trimmed clothes, as the desk was field with gears on the side, with hina slowly walking towards the counter, with it made of wood, polish and with design of artisan, with a seems to books on the side, a ink of sort and fountain pen of sort, as a plant was place, it was cactus on her desk, a weird colour of red lines with green prickles. Relaxing the arm to the desk, with the green camo contrast to the dark wooden polish desk, as she stands there slightly taller than hina, hair flows outwardly. Beside hina was gears and sword, as the both now wear what seem to be a jacket of sort, seems plain and bland in contrast to the gear they wear.
Looking into the eyes of her, face stoic and bland, her eyes were sharply looking, with it she replied, with a slightly up tone voice with more formal words.
“Welcome Hina, to the guild of Klalivade, a semi-small town, but it has undergone some modernization and more buildings are getting up, so for the long term, it will not be a mere small town anymore. As for you, as it seems like you have absolutely no background, it was verified by the state governor, as the other nations clearly don’t have you on the database as of yet, usually it takes no more than like five hours. So you might be a very faraway continent, it will take some between five days to two weeks or so”
“Though as reported by those twos, you were in some sort of a teleportation accident of sorts, It’s very rare, as only royals or special operative groups have those. Not saying anything, but it seems like your situation seems out of your control. The Royal Operative will probably check on you and interrogate on how you manage to get teleported here, but until then, welcome to the guild, you want to enlist, yes?”
She speaks a lot, seems very bright about how this town is developing, maybe a patriotic girl? Assuming is not a good way to find truth, also, word of choice, enlisted, I'm going to the army? This is an adventure guild, not a footmen right?
As she heavily swallows.
“ Right, eh, may I ask, I’m I like enlisting in the army or I’m I missing the point of this guild?”
As the counter girl exclaimed, with her face filled with more emotion than she showed by those two.
“ Well no, what makes the guild and the army different is that you can be independent, you can either go either pick herbs for a herbalist in the forest or mountain, or maybe help out some matter that the military just can’t afford to go, small stuff, but once you are on a higher class, we might consider you joining a group guild, if you want to join on some high tier mission, as those are in control by the kings and queen and royal courts, If you wanted to, you can go solo, but the chance of people made out alive is rare, they also give benefits as free healthcare, allowances, and recognition by royals, so you might have a chance of getting to a higher rank in society, but as a solo or a non-commissioned groups or mercenaries, there just the same of the group guilds, but without benefits and more of a parties. Now don’t discriminate, as there are many great individuals from these types of groups.”
This girl, she talks too much..
As the head spins all around, with hina eyes looking down trying to comprehend the words of her, with it the counter girl replies.
“ No worries, you will learn soon, anyways, pull your right palm on the counter”
With her laying low on the counter reaching for something underneath, with hina hands on the counters as she rises from the depth, which seems to be a globe of sort, as the stand of metal with its polish very as it shines by the lighting from the windows. It slightly hovers and spins, with it glow inside, a crystal ball of sorts.
“Right, please rest your hands on the Cryptids Ball”
As her hand slowly move, with some stuttering moves, she place her palm onto it, with it, glow intensely, as then the counter girl, hovers both of her hands around the globe, where she close her eyes as chanting a word, with it very quiet, as unable to hear it.
As both of them move forward, closer to hina to see the result, as it glows with changing colors, with it resembles plasma inside, as it change colours from green, blue, and red, all together changing colours rapidly, with it moving very quickly, as the gasses orbit around the mist inside, with her eyes intensely close with force. As then, it glows bright purples, with the mist suddenly stops, with it waving of ocean inside, flowing calmly on the bright purples fields, as she opens her eyes and takes a single step back with pauses on the quiet airs.
As hina pull her arms ways away, with some the counter girl panting slightly, as then tybur asked
“I’ve rarely seen you like this, what’s the result?”
As the girl replies, with slightly panting for air, her word choice becomes more informal.
“ Right, It was hard to find anything about her, I can’t even understand her flow, I do find these people who are not in tune with the flow, , but this one is extremely hard. I did find some flow, but it was really deep in, and it seems to be glowing purple, which are probably errors like all the other low flow states.”
As with her Grave asking
“So, what’s the result?”
As she try to attain the formal mindset, with her moving her shoulder with relaxing the muscle all around, as she takes the deep breath
“ It’s seems like one of those, probably type Omega, these type of people usually have a weak affinity towards flows, but it’s strange, as Omega can learn how to control it, but the flow feel a little off, everywhere there was no flow, but you’re inner core have a foreign flows, interesting. I mean this is documented before, just we never got it here”
As she goes lower, to the desk, as with speed she quickly gets back up, with a short document, with the paper now stained with brown as it ages a little.
With the girl flicking the pages and eyeing on one of the pages, as she intensely looks,
“Hmm, Right. Alrighty”
When she pushed it to the three, as then she pointed out one of the words, with the foreign styles of writing, it felt strange as a foreign knowledge by being able to somewhat read it without seeing it before.
“As you can see, on the mark point, Type Omega Jasper, as it read on the notes. ‘ A Anomaly by which the user have a foreign flows on the inner cores, the reason of why they occurs is not well documented, but royals are mostly the one in effects, rarely, lower classes with no special Lineage can also get it, most of the time, the user cannot control the inner core and stay there. The which flow users are normal, without abnormality or difficulty using the flows.’ As you can see, it fits you, but it also doesn’t, as you have weak, extremely weak affinity to the flows, but your inner core does exist, but as noted, not all can control it.
With grave reply
“Purple, dark purple, with a tint of red and black, what does it say for the inner core?”
As the clerk reply,
“ I don’t really know, as the inner flow is something I’m not expert at, you might need to check out the team leader, but he’s out for an important meeting, so he will probably not be back until tomorrow. I could appoint you, I’ll make the report later, so you'll have to wait, now, the next step.”
With her hands, gesture by moving her hand up and down, with it, a floating crystal, a screen appears, with the panel the size of an A5 papers, as it glows white as a screen, with it hovers toward you, with a floating pen beside it, as the words are place, a policy, term of service?
As with the clerk open her mouth once more
“ If you are ready, please sign your name here, full please.”
As with the terms of agreement, it’s probably going to change my life, and I should read it, but even if it’s a little short, I’ll just sign it and ask grave or tybur about it later.
With hina grabbing the pen, as she stands there, looking blankly.
Wait, I can somewhat read, I can talk, but I can’t. How do I write? I'll just write in English, it is easier.
As with it, she put the pen onto the screen, as she slowly tried to write it with utmost care.
Sending the card back to the clerk, with it she reads, with her eyes open a little, as then the screen disappears, with it the pen as it floats back to the side, with her taking a paper, what seems to be a silver ticket, reflecting the light that emit all around, onto her hands, where she put the palms on the silvers piece, as engraving occurs on the silvers, with it written the form of this language, with a describing picture remble of you, black hair, dark brown eyes..
As then she handed it to you, with elegance slightly bowing to you.
“Welcome to the guild of Hina, please rest well with your companion.”
As she lifts her posture.
“Now do note, that you have a mercenary card or guild card, your Identification is not made yet, no worries, the royal court and our leader will interrogate you and will probably give you the identification cards, or you might be exiled, so yeah, just get ready.”
Oh, right.
As walking out of the two doors, where the light shining from the horizon so ever, holding on whe kevlar glove, what seems to be ticket of sort, silver and very firmly yet the touch felt tough and hard to ripped, as it print out names, not the full name, with some numbers under it, as it list the user affiliate flow use, which is none, there’s also a age number mark you see on those ID we have, and all it is, just zeros, all of it, guess my identity is still a mystery to them, she says something in the line of exile, if they did wear those shiny gears, well now they wear like a commoner of some cliche adventure story, leather and plates with markings, but still, how long can I possible lived..
Walking on the stone ways, where multitudes of people walk by, store opening and showing some tables and chairs, as animals with carriage moving along the roads, how do they keep this city clean if animals walk across the town..
As with tybur, looking around the palace of the roads, were many stores of restaurant of sorts opens, with there’s cuisine on the glass and signboards with the dinner inbound all around the town, is this really a town, seems a little advance, glasses, tents, it felts, as if walking around London. What do I know, I have never been to London.
With Grave Marina, as she speaks to the air, close enough for tybur to hear.
“Don’t look around, we still have some leftover I can cook”
As tybur slightly giggles, as now he looks in front of the roads.
As walking bypass the lands, it felts, like a dream, a paradise,, the breeze air fly by, it was something to felt touch of greatness, what will this world even let me do, I, I don’t feel my heart pounce on the thoughts, I’ve gotten used to it, I should calm a little more, looking on the bright side is always a good idea, right.
With it, something catches her eyes, almost missing the figure on the corner of her eyes, which seems to be clothing as it lays beside the walls, eyes close, with the face rough, hairs run wild all around, as it covers with the eyes suddenly open, it shines less brightly, as it glow extremely Lighty, with the pupil looking onto hers, which both of the void looks aside each one, as felt of different world colliding into each of them, with the girl, Very young on the side wall looking upon her,
As she hastily turns to the front, swift and quick, walking farther from it, with the eyes looking down to the well maintained and clean streets, thoughtless as the uneasy felt around the neck of theirs, as with it, gripping her hand tightly on the held ticket.
