Let us ponder 4

„It takes one to make everyone else move. And It takes all to stop the one"

Its not that the guild was in a bad shape at the moment.

No crying or lamenting.

No one died or hasn`t returned for weeks.

It was just …..empty. Loud voices from yesterday gone.

Secretary Lisa nowhere to greet them.

So they just sat down with MIMI leftovers and waited for a bit.

Damon basically sleeping.

Sitting but head down, arms crossed and quietly snoring.

Aries tried to stay awake and aware of surroundings.

Where is everyone in the guild?

There was 2-3 adventurers like them sitting and waiting.

For…something. Or nothing.

Bartender ( who Aries just saw for the first time) polishing a glass.

Takes one.

Paper and water to clean it.

Looks at it and puts it away.

Another one.

And another.

And another one.

Times flies slowly today.

But hey they have nothing better than this right?

-Okey who has their quests completed to me please. – Lisa emerged from the desk suddenly.

All the awaiting people stood up slowly and walked up to here.

Each one similar yet different.

Weapon, shabby long clothing and a bag of remains in their hand.

Other one holding the task they were given.

Aries woke Damon up to let him know.

-Dude…. – he still sleeping told him – there`s a queue. Let me sleep in peace. – and went back to it.

Aries found his task and also waited

15 minutes of sleep waiting later it was their turn.

Lisa just as tired as Damon sleepy said to them.

-NEXT. Oh you`re here already. Quest and proof of completion.-

Paper and bag, this time just to show and not stain the desk.

-one horn and some fur from… exterminating or capturing alive a lost boar.

Assume its dead – quick nod and further questioning – Any particular problems? –

-Yes – Damon woke up – No one told or wrote it was a weird mutated magic boar monster –

-Issues to the quest-giver. But I will write that down –

-okey reward was…..4 silver for dead. And each of you get 2 bronze per quest for now so here you go-

-we get a bonus? For what –

-staying alive- quick and sharp answer.

Lots of looking for things later they were done with bureaucracy.

They both hate it.

But its still weird today ~ Aries thought ~I don`t think people change that fast ~

-Something happened. – Damon said – I`m going to find out what –

-Wait for me – he just pushed the coins in his pocket and went after him.

-not in the mood for more. Sorry -and Damon disappeared in the distance somehow.

THAT WAS UNNECESSARY

~not now. Someone is behind us~

YES. ALSO JUST YOU. IM NOT REALLY IN YOUR HEAD.

~you know what I meant. And I think I also know who~

NO, THERE`S THREE OF THEM.

SOMEONE ELSE SEEMS TO JOIN OUR BAND

~got any ideas? Your enemy in the human world? ~

NOT LIKE THIS PLEASE. YOURE MAKING ME LOOK BAD.

BUT I ACTUALLY KNOW THAT ONE. NOT PERSONALLY OF COURSE.

~tips?~

NORMALLY YES. A FEW GOOD AGAINST HIM BUT FOR YOU ?
