This city is really big!, I saw more bigger and beautiful cities before but I still need to ask directions to find the magic guild!, and what with this city? why the difference in the separation of the third layer?, the last I can understand, but why the third!?
The first and second layers were only separated by a river that flow around the city in a circle form with a bridge to cross it, but the third and fourth are separated by walls so big as a four story building.
In the third layer are the major guilds of the city, the guards headquarters and the houses of the most influential people that isn't part of the government in Visan city and the fourth layer is the smaller part of all the city, in this part the city lord and other people that is affiliated with government of the city live.
In the entrance of the third layer there were stationated two guards in both sides of the gate, they were statues like the other two in the entrance gates of the city, since I approached first I tried to be friendly with them, since having a bad impression could lead to being in their bad side, something that I want to avoid.
“Hello, may I ask if I can enter that part?”
“...”
“Excuse me, but I want to pass this gate, I am new here and don't know if it is permitted to pass this gate since is being guarded too, could you tell me please?”
“...”
They never directed a word , but then I see the closest guard to me making a gesture with his head shaking to the gates direction. With that gesture in mind I tried to pass.
“...”
“Thank you!”
Since nothing happened when I passed the gates I go directly to the magic guild, since the owner of the inn never was in the third layer since there weren't business he were interested he couldn't tell me how is the third layer. After some time I find the magic guild, it was five buildings on the right of the gate, then you would see a building with a sign of a staff with a book under it.
When I entered the building I could see that the building was almost empty if you don't count the receptionist, the only other guy there was a tall man in his twenties pondering something in a board with paper stuck in there.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
I go to the receptionist and when I was almost there the tall guy push me out of the receptionist direction and go to talk to her, since I didn't pay attention to him when I saw him of far and since he go out in a hurry the only feature I could notice was a deep brown hair.
Since the building was empty I go with the receptionist to ask if I could join the magic guild.
“Hello”
“Oh~, hello little girl what are you doing here?”
“I want to join the magic guild!”
“Alright honey, what is your name?
With her words I star to think, since I can start again I will change my name!, because I want!, since I am not a noble anymore and Diana is a noble like name I decide to change it, but since a totally different name will be confusing, so to this day onwards my name is Dina!
“What a beautiful name, now to know if you are capable to join the magic guild we will measure your magic power”
The receptionist guide me to another room, in this room there was a metal stick in there some type of inscriptions were in the stick and there were 10 gems of different colors incrusted in the stick, up to down the colors are black, white, pink, blue, orange, purple, light blue, yellow, green and red.
“This is an artifact created by the craftsman guild, this can measure your magic power capacity, this metal pole and its gems are made to absorb your magic power, when you pour magic power this pole will start to shine, since this guild have a rule that only capable people could join the magic guild you need to make the blue gem shine at least, if not then you will better try again in one year.”
“Thanks for the information, I want to try now!”
“Wait, I need a witness so he can confirm the evaluation, stay here for a while, I will come back soon”
I was so nervous when the receptionist go out, this test could mean a big step forward to becoming an adventurer and I need all the power I have to becoming one, so I tried to calm myself, counting numbers, taking long breaths and more, but my nervousness not go away. After some time has passed the receptionist came with a bald old man with a long bear like G*nd*lf the gray.
“This is the guild master sir Gedolot”
“N-nice to meet you!”
Without a word he only stay up while keeping his sight in me, with nervousness in my body I touch the stick and with all the magic I have I start to put it all I in the stick.
It was very stressful and tiring, then I saw six lights in the stick, red, green, yellow, light blue, purple and orange. I was starting to get weak since I was losing magic power at rapid pace, and my vision was starting to get blur, I feel like I will collapse at any moment and I feel like I wasn't close to reach the blue gem.
“NOT YET!”
I shouted with all my might and grab whatever I have in my reserves of magic power and put all in the stick, in the end I saw one more light, blue, after that I collapse on the spot.
