The king sat at his desk doing paperwork he was quite happy with the hero’s agreeing to help them. Now he could keep his precious daughter safe.

There was a swift knock on the door to his study followed by two more of the same caliber.

The king looking confused. Stated in a voice laced in authority stated with dignity “come in”

a boy came through the door wearing a big coat that was unzipped underneath was a plain white tee the hood of said coat had a fur lining while the interior had fluffy material. His hair was pitch black but his eyes were blue yet around his pupil there was a slim band of yellow the boy stuck in your head as he was very different from other hero’s.

The king was almost sweating just by looking at him. The hero named crow

the boy then asked in a deep velvety voice “hey king I want to work in someplace cold so can I go to the north.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The king stared at him contemplating for a moment the boy was a jack of all trades so to say except for the fact of his unusual man supply which was around (1000) to put that into perspective the person in the group of hero’s with the highest mana had approximately (3000) mana. He was going to be a loss but they could probably do fine without him so with a curt nod the king agreed to the boys request.

But the old king was what you could call a softie as he decided on the hero’s departure he would give him money and a few other gifts so he could protect himself in the north.

The great generous king would even set him up in the fort that went by the name tundra he heard the pay was good and everyone there were friendly.

the boy simply gave his thanks and left the room the king thought that all the hero’s were rather unpolite so he had a warm smile knowing that one at least had basic manners.

...................(crow POV)

Huh that old king wasn’t as bad as I thought. He even said he’d get me a job. To bad now I’ll feel a little guilty when I steal a bunch of books from his library on mana and arcanum. The books on mana will be missed but the books on arcanum won’t because no one can use it “oh well” I mutter and let out a sigh I’m just borrowing them
