Flesh
As Eredeti and Alex looked at each other perplexed a sudden realization crept upon them as they both thought 'That damn Xander'. "Hahhh welp we can't do anything about it now except complain which I doubt would help, now would it?" Eredeti said "Yeah I guess your right well I might as well as show you the basics as an apology of sorts" Alex said. "Please you don't have to apologize for someone else's actions" Eredeti replied "No no if I hadn't have been so proud of you maybe he wouldn't have taken it a little easier" Alex said. "Well that's only partly the truth as I to was a bit too proud however that matters not now instead let us find a mission to complete some time later something that introduces me into this line of work yet not something that would take to long of a time to complete" Eredeti said. "Alright sir I think I understand what your looking for, now shall we see what is currently available?" Alex asked "Very well" Eredeti replied as he followed Alex to a notice board of sorts as he looked up and down trying to find a mission that fit Eredeti's needs as he finally stopped on one that had 3 skulls on the bottom of it. Alex ripped it off of the notice board handed it to Eredeti as he skimmed through it.

Once Eredeti was done reading through all of it he was astonished to know that the amount of information that was on it. "It seems the group is more informed than I originally thought? How peculiar" Eredeti said a little stunned "Of course it's only expected as the kingdom has eye's and ear's every where in and outside of the kingdom" Alex replied. Once Eredeti heard this his imagination once again began to wander 'How far did the kingdoms hands reach to, how do they stay hidden? Was I being watched by one of them earlier'. When Eredeti stopped and put his hand on his chin Alex looked at him weird as Eredeti realized he was a bit too much into thought 'Stop it doesn't matter right now I can worry about it latter'. Once Eredeti started walking towards the counter and Alex followed as he put the piece of paper onto the bar and started to ring a bell shortly after a woman with short brown hair and green eyes walked up to the receptionist desk and took a look at the paper and looked back up at Alex and Eredeti. As she sighed "Hahh Alex who are you fooling? The hardest mission you took was 2 skulls not 3 even if you do have someone with you, did you really expect me to just sign this off and agree to it?" the woman said. "Please Amara! I will do anything in my power to pay you back!" Alex pleaded with his hands clapped in front of him with tears threatening to spill out of his eyes, When Amara was just about to deny his request she looked at the man behind him as he spewed out a weird mysterious aura. Just as she was about to ask who he was she felt a weird chill hit her neck and spread down her spine as he simply uttered a few words "I think we'll be plenty qualified for this". Once Amara heard his words she immediately stamped the paper noticing that his words were not just full of confidence but power and had a commanding tone. Once the paper was stamped it glowed a slight orange hue as Amara pushed the paper forward making Alex's mood immediately lighten up "Thank You!" Alex said. "It's nothing now just sign it and get out of here" Amara replied pulling out a pen once Alex heard this he grabbed the pen and quickly signed handing it to Eredeti who similarly quickly signed.
Once both Eredeti and Alex signed Amara spoke "The time limit for this job is one month make sure to get it done by then, understood Alex!" making Alex nod his head once Eredeti heard her words he was a little confused but pieced it together a little pinning it down to this kid having messed up a few missions. Although that didn't bother Eredeti too much however it was still an inconvenience for him to have to rely on someone with a rather negative reputation. Once Eredeti and Alex was done with the process of accepting a mission Eredeti decided to leave immediately while Alex followed him once again once they went through the secrete passage back to the bar Eredeti looked around only to see the few passed out drunk people still there looking out of a nearby window he saw that it was still night. Once Eredeti looked around a bit Alex wished him farewell and that he would meet him here in one week to discuss the mission however Eredeti didn't care whether Alex went with him or not all he cared for currently was his strength improving so Eredeti threw his crutches having his leg muscles healed to the extent of being able to walk some what. Eredeti then walked back into the castle under the watchful gazes of the stationed guards until he was finally stopped by one of them and questioned only to remove his helmet and being told to return to his room while being guided by the knight back. Once Eredeti returned to his room he quickly removed his armor and went into the bathroom with his dagger and slowly cut the stitches although it caused mild discomfort it wasn't anything Eredeti couldn't handle. Once the stitches were successfully removed he pulled them out letting some blood flow as he let his healing take over until his body fully recovered. When Eredeti felt the mana in his body turning cold and heading to every small and large injuries' of his as he felt comfort and sat onto the ground in a cold sweat. Once all of his wounds healed his stomach started rumbling as it turned into mild pain and an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. This prompted Eredeti to get up and head towards to the kitchen once he arrived he didn't see any there as he went into the kitchen to where there was one cook on standby even at this hour.
As Eredeti walked up to him and tapped his shoulder which made him squeal in shock as the cook quickly turned around and saw Eredeti seeing him freak out he said "Excuse me mister cook? I was wondering if you had any food you could prepare for me?" Eredeti asked seeing Eredeti made the cook ease up instantly "I am sorry sir warrior, I didn't expect that you would be here this late at night" The cook said as a cold sweat dripped down his neck. "It's fine besides I should be the one to apologize for coming here so late" Eredeti replied "No sir I should have been ready to receive your order at anytime! I also noticed you and the mistress wasn't here earlier at dinner and thought you might be hungry when you returned so I saved a meal in preparation for your return, Now please take a seat I will light a few candles and prepare your dinner". Eredeti nodded at his response and walked over to the dinning room and sat down soon after the same cook with silver hair and red eyes light a few candles and poured a glass of wine. Although Eredeti didn't mind the lights were off and the dark atmosphere with candles light made him feel comfy. As Eredeti sipped on the wine a familiar female figure with white hair and red eyes walked in with a black and violet sleeping gown walked in as her eye's landed on Eredeti. Ezari licked her lips and slowly walked towards Eredeti's back wanting to scare him a little however Eredeti already noticed her presence. "Excuse me but may I ask what you are doing?" Eredeti said making Ezari immediately frown which quickly turned into a pouty face "Hmph I was simply trying to give you a quick scare nothing much! Jeez do you have to be so serious?" Ezari asked
"Well If I'm being snuck up on I would at least like to know who it is, don't you agree lady Ezari" Eredeti said "Well I guess your right well if your wondering why I'm here I didn't get the chance to eat earlier as well" Ezari said as she took a seat opposite to Eredeti. Almost as if it was queued the cook came immediately and poured her a dark crimson colored drink with a questioning look as if he was worried Eredeti was here however Ezari simply brushed it off "Don't worry it's fine if he's here" Ezari said "Very well mistress" the cook said. "Jeez what is it with people now a days? Always so serious no matter what, people need to learn to have fun otherwise the world would be too gloomy" Ezari said. "Well when the times are as they are people are bound to be serious in fact I dare say it would be weird not to be" Eredeti replied "Well I guess your right but it's still good to have fun with what your doing otherwise what's the point?". "Well I guess you got me on that, now where's that food? I'm starving!" Eredeti said. As if on que once more the cook showed up and put two plates with covers on them as he opened up Eredeti's plate first and described the food on it however Eredeti wasn't paying attention to it as something else caught his nose something more fragrant as if it smelled like one of the best smells one could imagine. However Ezari noticed his gaze and asked "Are you curious to what it is? Or does it just smell that good?" Ezari said playfully with a smirk. "Well to be honest it smells quite nice like an delicacy only to be had on special occasions" Eredeti replied "Exactly how I feel which is why after all my hard work today I specifically wanted Albert here to get it!" Ezari said excitingly.
"I see, then it must be quite special" Eredeti said "It indeed is" Ezari said as Albert the cook lifted the cover up only for Eredeti to see a weird piece of raw red meat covered in crimson red liquid which looked strangely delicious to Eredeti even when he looked back to his plate he just couldn't compare the two. Once Albert was done uncovering the two plates he stood behind Ezari however she quickly shooed him away "It's fine just leave us for now" Ezari said. Once Albert left Ezari asked "Are you curious of the taste?" Eredeti looked at it as saliva started to flood his mouth as he gulped it down and shook his head as Ezari cut a small piece off and gave the fork for Eredeti to try once he bit down into it his mouth flooded with an euphoric taste making him crave for more. Once Eredeti sawolled it he put the fork down and picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth "It was delicious! It has an almost addicting flavor to it! "I have never tasted such a delicacy before! may I ask what it is?" Eredeti asked. However almost as if on queue once again what came out of Ezari's mouth he couldn't hear as he heard a

Eredeti looked at it in shock as he looked towards Ezari and asked "Excuse me it seems I didn't catch what you said do you mind repeating it?". Ezari looked at him with a playful smile as she repeated "Its flesh, Human flesh" when Eredeti heard this his heart sank for but a moment as he looked at Ezari with a shocked gaze.
