Jin and Raka waded through the crowd. It was hot so they became quite sweaty. They walked for a while before they reached the barracks gates. There were two men at the front who seem to be the guards on duty.
The man on the left is wearing a steel armor with a white cape and has a sword and shield attached to his back. He has blonde hair which is cut short and his face looks serious. The other one was leaning to the wall and seems to be carefree. He has long brown hair and a quiver of arrows can be found in the left side of his waist.
From afar, the guard on the right can be seen to be waving his hand in a huge but slow motion while cheerfully smiling.
Guard on the right: Oh finished already? That was fast!
Jin: Oh Robin! It was easy! They were no match for me and Raka!
Guard on the left: Good job you two
Raka: Good job to you as well, Kyle.
Robin: Hey! Why is he only the one who gets praised?
Raka: It just does not seem like you are doing your job properly
Robin: What? I’m doing it quite seriously, right Kyle?
Kyle just looked the other way without saying a word.
Robin: Oh come on! Don’t treat me like that!
Jin: Oh good job to you too, Robin!
Robin: That does not make me feel good when it came from a man!
Jin: Oh don’t be too choosy!
The smiling Jin pat Robin’s head while his Jin’s arm is all around Robin. Robin then struggled to break free.
Robin: Hey! Stop that!
Raka: We got to go now, the Captain may be waiting.
Kyle: See you later then.
The two went past the gate and into the barracks. It was a large facility with stone walls. There are candles attached to the walls and pillars and a red carpet spread on the hall way. It looks more of a mini castle. They meet some soldiers on the hallway. Some of those they meet looks quite scared and are keeping their distance while some have eyes which seem to gleam with admiration.
They finally reached the room at the end of the hallway. They went inside the room just to be greeted by a very bored looking man. The room is a bit small and looks like a meeting room with a long table and several chairs beside it.

The man looks to be older than the two but not by too much. He has a rare dark green hair and has weird lines below his eyes. He has a twig on his mouth while he rests his chin in his left hand. He has brown clothes which makes him look like a plant from far away due to his green hair. He is sitting beside a table where a tower of paper, a bottle of ink and a feather can be found.
Jin: Job finished, Captain!
Captain: Sure sure, here’s your wages for the day.
The Captain had a very disinterested look while he handed envelopes to each of them. The two grabbed the envelopes and they quickly counted how much was in there.
Jin: By the way, where are the others?
Captain. Tweek is on his room working on something he is calling a “breakthrough”, he said he does not want to be disturbed for the moment. The other two are on a job out of town so they won’t be back for a while.
Even while babbling on and on, the Captain still has this very dull tone while talking matched with his very bored look.
Raka: So what’s our next job?
Captain: None for today but there is a bit of a big one tomorrow so I’ll be brief you before you depart.
Jin: Oh sweet! Maybe I’ll eat a lot tonight! Wanna join me Raka?
Raka: Okay, I want some booze too.
Jin: How about you Captain? Wanna tag along?
Captain: I can’t for the time being, I have to finish the paper works for budget reports first.
Jin: Come on! You can do that later!
Captain: Do I seem like I’m enjoying myself while working my ass off for me to decline your offer to have fun? It is because you guys make a lot of problems during your jobs which is why I have to spend the entire week writing apology letters instead of working on this report. So here I am, stuck in this boring room with this boring work.
Although the Captain is complaining, his face is still the same which is a bit confusing. Raka diverted his eyes from the Captain which make her seem like she is guilty. On the other hand, Jin is sweating all over while he scratches his scar with his right index finger.
Jin: Sorry about that Captain. Want us to lend you a hand instead?
Captain: So do you think you muscle heads can use your minds for a bit? I appreciate the concern but I think that you will just make more work for me if I let you so no. Just go have fun now.
Raka: Come on, let’s go.
The two left the room and while on the hallway, they paused at the same time and let out a huge sigh of relief.
Jin: Shit! I thought he’s gonna kill us for a second.
Raka: I could certainly feel that murderous intent.
Jin: What’s worse is that his face did not change even by a bit! Anyways, let go have fun!
The pair then went out of the barracks and headed to the streets so they could find a good place to eat and drink. The other establishments are full so they are trying to find a place where there is a free table.
Jin: Hey! It seems like that one’s not too crowded
Jin tells Raka while pointing on an establishment across the street when he suddenly bumped into a woman.
Jin: Oh sorry bout that.
Woman: It’s alright! I’m –
When the woman saw Jin’s face, she suddenly jumped back and went into a fighting stance. The woman has pink hair and golden eyes. She is wearing light armor and have two swords attached on her belt.
Jin: Hey! What’s the matter?
Woman: You! That scar! That coat! You are the Red Hawk!
Jin: Oh? It’s been a long time since I heard that name! It brings back memories!
Woman: Memories of your sins?
Jin: Sins?
Woman: No more talking! I challenge you to a duel!
The woman yelled as she points one of her swords to Jin. The crowd suddenly formed a circle, enclosing the two.
Jin: A what? Hey Raka! A little help out here!
Jin called for Raka but she is nowhere to be seen.
Woman: Are you that cowardly now to seek others for help? How pathetic!
Jin: What’s your problem anyway?
Woman: You are my problem! So fight me!
Jin: Alright, alright! Fine! Just don’t cry later, okay!
