The guild
People thrived throughout the Lion kingdom. Merchants were selling food and cloth while others talked people into buys expensive items. I wore a black outfit with a good, I didn't like the idea of people seeing my face. I was on my way to a guild to hopefully make some money because I was out. The pathways were almost full. People were in a hurry because the announcement of the new king was just a few minutes away, everyone was scheduled to be there. If anyone were to not go, there would be consequences. I wasn't gonna go anyway though, I don't care what the consequences are. After a few minutes of walking the streets then felt quiet. The sound of my foot steps ecode throughout the street. Lamps in all the houses were turned off. I started to oproching the guild hall. The steps where covered in a red carpet. As I climbed I felt that someone was watching. I opened the wooden doors and entered the guild hall. The hall was filled with wooden table and chairs. The main counter had papers and other versios items. The registration table was the only thing made of metal and glass. To the right was the massive job board with different jobs and rewards on it. I was able to find a table the didn't have a mess on it. Although the chair was unpleasant, I was able to get a bit of sleep to pass the time.
I woke up to see a bald headed man staring down at me. "This is my seat" he said, his voice rattled the whole table.
"In this world, nothing is yours nor mine, you can say it is but anyone can claim it." I replied.
"Do I look like a fool to you!?".
"You can't look like a fool, you have to be one."
"Raugh! puny girl" he said as he walked away.
The guild was full of the smell of ale and vomit. It was full of people. I stood up and pushed the chain in. I took a look around. People had all sorts of armour and weapons. I started twords the metal the registration table. A blond haired girl greeted me.
"Hello welcome would you like to register?"
I slowly nodded my head as she handed me a paper and a quill. Name, reason, and weapon were the questions and then a blood signature. My name is Shadow, me reason is money, and my weapon is a blood katana. ( The blood katana is known as the most powerful weapon in the world. It absorbs it's victim when dead. It give the victims energy and strength to the user. ) I then grabbed the prick and pricked my finger. I then set my finger on the paper and lifted it up. I handed the girl the paper. "Thanks, you can now join a group to do jobs." I then stepped away from the registration table and saw the bald guy from before sitting alone. I walked over to him. The cloak around me attracted more attention then I wanted. "Group?" I asked him. He took a minute. Then 2 other people walked over. One had short blonde hair and silver armour. The other had brown hair and had a bow. " Boss what do you think?" one of them said. "Jerome test her out" the bald guy ordered. By the way, this guy is Jerome, he pointed to the blonde. "This is Hatie" he pointed so the guy with brown hair. "I'm Wride;"
"Now Jerome, test her."
"Yes sir Jerome replied."
He drew his sword and slice right twords my right shoulder. My eyesight went blurry for a second. His sword hit my shoulder and penetrated a bit of it. Blood dropped to the wooden floor. I stood there, but Jerome looked shocked. I grabbed his sword with my left hand and lifted it off my shoulder. I then let go and looked around, people from all over the hall were in shock. "It doesn't hurt I don't know why you guys care."
"Ok ok instead of that, why don't you pull down your hood.", Wride then said.
My muscles tensed up. "No body has asked me that and survived." I added. I had no choice. I pulled down my hood and my black hair fluttered everywhere as if my locks were happy to get out. My hair the fell straight. My hair settle at my tailbone. My eyes finally adjusted to the hall. Everyone was surprised. The room fell silent. I put my hood back on.
"Ok your in Wride" said finally
"Time for your first job"
