Yay! The Prologue has over 500 views! I mean, half of from clicking refresh probably, and the most recent chapter has less than half that, but still!

“Thanks”

Aesh looked at Dali, surprised.

“For convincing Rell to let me in.”

“Don’t worry, I meant everything I said.”

“Even so, he’s the leader.”

“He listens to me.”

“Yeah, I noticed. Why is that.”

“We’re going out.”

“Oh, is one of you a girl?”

“Do we look like girls to you?”

“No.”

“Then don’t bother asking.”

“Okay.”

“Do you have a problem?”

“Nope, not at all. No problems here.”

“Good.”

They fell into silence.

“Surprised?” Pealla asked.

“Yeah, a little” Dali admitted.

“I was too. Rell’s my brother, and Aesh always seemed eager to come over to our house, and, it seemed that-”

Aurora interrupted.

“She thought he had a crush on her.”

“Well how could I know?”

“How could you not?”

Dali had a feeling they had had this conversation before.

“So what are your group’s specialties?”

Aurora responded.

“Rell specializes dodging fast and attacking strong, Aesh uses elemental magic, and is a bit of a jack of all trades. She specialises in small scale healing, and I like to tank.”

“Hmm, I see. I’ll ask my trainers if they can recommend anything for you guys when we get there.”

“Shouldn’t take too long now. We’re skipping most of the monsters. Rell is pretty good with this pathfinding thing.”

By the time they made it to Eirthkel, Dali had reached level six.

Dali restated his idea.

“You should follow me, my teachers can probably recommend something for you to do.”

They followed him to a blacksmith shop.

“This is the place.”

When they entered, the woman at the forge spoke.

“Whattya want?”

“Why aren’t there any customers?”

“I don’t sell inferior products.”

“Why would that mean you don’t have customers?”

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

“If I make something really good, o’course I’d want ta keep it.”

“I see… are you Iron?”

The woman pulled the still red hot bar out of the forge and threw it at the door, lodging it shut.

She stood up slowly.

“And just where did you hear that name?”

“T-t-tr-tr-”

“Spit it out,” she growled.

“Trespass sent me!”

“Is that so?”

“Y-yeah.”

“In that case, I’ll have to kill you right quick.”

“Wh-what?”

The rest of the party were getting nervous, and fingering their weapons.

All of a sudden they heard running from above them.

A man ran down the stairs.

“Did they say Trespass sent them?”

“No. Go back upstairs.”

“They did! Oh it’s been so long since we last saw her!”

His eyes focused on the sword in Iron’s hand.

“Were you going to kill them?”

“...No.”

“You were weren’t you? I don’t know why you don’t get along with her. I get along fine with Flow don’t I?”

“You get along with everyone.”

“That’s not true. Remember Peliat?”

“That hardly counts.”

“I suppose we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. So what did you five come here for anyway?”

“Selana said you guys would teach me but it’s really not necessary, I think I’ll leave right now okay?”

“Oh, don’t worry about that, we’d be happy to teach you. What class are you?”

“Undecided.”

“Oh dear, how many skills can you learn?”

“What do you mean?”

Rell explained it.

“If your class is undecided, you can only have ten skills.”

“Do subskills count?”

“No.”

“In that case, two.”

“Then you're running low,” Flicker replied, “She can teach you repair, and I’ll teach you something even better.
