Scout woke up at 7 am game time, just in time for the guild meeting, all of the members of the Free Wing Mercenary were present. All 300 members were present at their meeting. After a few minutes of chattering, Evan, the guild leader finally stood up a podium and started talking.

"Sette down everyone, settle down" and everyone stopped talking.

"As you guys know, War is gonna break out" Evan said with a huge smile on his face

*CHEER* everyone cheered in unison

"I have some good news and some bad news." Evan said again

Everyone went silent.

"The bad news is that no one has hired us to participate in the war, this is very understandable since we are still a small group. But the good news is that we are still going to be participating in the war."

*CHEER*

"We will make a name for ourselves!." Evan shouted while arms raised up high.

Everyone once again cheered

"The war will be in a week, I would like to take this time to work on our teamwork. Me and the other guild officers will be our commanding officers. Each of you will be assigned under a guild officer, this way the teamwork training would be easier. Thiefs and assassins will have the choice to join a commanding officer, or join a task force consisting only of thief's and assassins, you will mostly work solo, but will work in teams if officially needed."

Everyone started talking, they were all happy on the decision.

Scout was especially happy, he did not want to be under a commanding officer fighting in the front lines. Scout was going to join the thief and assassin task force, where he would be best suited.

"Okay everyone, check the quest board, you will be randomly assigned to a commanding officer, but don't worry if you have close friends already in the guild, we can switch things up so that you will be together so that teamwork is more efficient. Those of you that want to join the 'Shadow Wings' which is the thief's and assassins task force, please find your name and cross it out. Also, if you are planning to join the 'Shadow Wings' please do so immediately, the task force will be leaving early, and will be leaving today." Evan said while keeping a very happy face.

Scout immediately rushed towards the quest board and crossed out his name. He then slowly walked towards the meeting area for the 'Shadow Wings' which was marked on the map on the quest board. As he approached the meeting area, there were already a couple of thieves and assassins gathered, they all of course looked like Scout in terms of clothing. They all wore black and they all wore masks, some masks would cover half of their face from the nose down just like Scouts, and the other masks would cover their entire face leaving only an opening for their eyes. There were people who wore capes and robes to add to their mysteriousness.

An hour had passed and 23 thief's and assassins had signed up for the Shadow Wings, of course within the guild there were more theirs and assassins, but some of them wanted to fight in the front lines.

Everyone in the area kept to themselves, there were some who would talk to others, some were friends and were together. But almost all of them had their own little space were they would stand or sit on. After the hour had passed, someone arrived. It was a woman with a good figure, but they could not see her face, they only knew that she was a woman because of her figure. The woman took off her mask revealing a complexly beautiful face that would make any male fall admire her and any woman be jealous of her. She then started talking.

"Is everyone gathered? Good, my name is Silhouette and I will be the commander of the Shadow Wings, but don't worry, it is just a formality, it is a title. Everyone that is a part of this group is free to do whatever they want to accomplish a mission, unless if told otherwise."

Everyone started murmuring and chatting, then Silhouette started talking again.

"Okay, now what I would like right now is for each and everyone of you to show your face and state your name, I have good memory and after a look, I will remember. For the rest of you, you do not need to know the faces and names of your comrades in this task force. All you need to know is that if a person is part of the task force."

They all started murmuring once more until finally someone asked a question.

"How do we determine if we are part of the group?"

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Good question! All of us will be given a separate mark on the side of our arm which was not marked. The new mark will be black wings, they will still have rankings and they are entirely different from your white rank." Silhouette said with a calm face while crossing her arms.

"Now, everyone line up, as you receive your mark, you will state your name and show your face to me" Silhouette said once more

They all started to line up and one by one they got their marks. They all had gotten a single black wing.

"Okay, now that everyone has gotten their mark, I will state our goal, our mission. The mission of the Shadow Wings is to support our members from the shadows. We will be hidden at all times, we are the support members, but we will determine the tide of battles. We will not get as much recognition from other players, but our guild members . . . No, our family will know how much of an impact we place upon the battlefield, and that is all that matters to us."

*CHEER* they all started cheering.

"Our first mission is to go the capital and register the guild to join the war. Registration won't actually start until 3 days from now. And it takes roughly 2 days to go to the capital. Since this is the first war of this scale in Square One, there is a limited number of people that can join the war. Buy your supplies, and repair your gear, we are heading out in 30 minutes!" Silhouette said to her teammates while leaning on a wall.

Everyone started to leave except for Scout and Silhouette.

Silhouette approached Scout and was confused on why Scout did not leave.

"Why are you still here?! Did you not hear me?!" Silhouette asked while scratching her head.

"I already have my supplies, and my gear is all fully repaired ma'am" Scout retorted while patting his armor

"I see, good for you then" Silhouette said while lifting up her mask trying to hide her embarrassment. She then walked away to a nearby tree waiting for the people to come back.

Scout just stood under a tree opposite towards Silhouette. After 30 minutes had passed, everyone was already back and ready to leave.

"Okay, has everyone gathered?! Good! Lets move out!" Silhouette shouted

They all left their HQ and started walking towards Jagsen Town. Their they personally hired 3 carriages to take them to Hoelbrak City, their ride was paid for by the guild. Once they got to Hoelbrak City, they checked in an inn which was also paid for by the guild. In the morning, they hired again 3 carriages to take them Chronos the Capital. They left in the morning and had arrived late in the afternoon.

"Okay we still have a day before the registration, do what ever you want, just don't die, and be back by tomorrow, we need everyone to be here if we try to register our guild and guild members." Silhouette stated.

Everyone started dispersing and did their own thing.

Scout went towards the quest board and looked for low level bounties in the capital, which ranged from level 50-60 which was just perfect for Scout. There were a bunch of bandits roaming outside the city perimeter.

Scout went ahead and dealt with some of the ones that he could find, he had killed over 200 of them in a span of 5 hours. He had leveled up 3 times and gained 10 silver per kill, he had gotten 20 gold.

Scout went over to the inn in which the guild had reserved for them. Scout went to his room and slept peacefully, getting ready for whats to come when he wakes up.
