Chapter 47- Next Move

Seeing Tru's amber eyes glaring at caused them to have shivers. They each backed away slowly and took a seat at a nearby table. They sat there quiet as a mouse not uttering a single sound.

"Where ya 'ind these spineless guppies?" asked Tyrion with a hearty laugh.

"Oh them?" said Tru. "They came at me while I was fighting the Alpha of the pack and ambushed me. All for this little thing."

He held out the wolf cub who was fast asleep towards Tyrion. Marslia saw the cub and immediately fell in love with it. She snatched it from Tru's hands and squeezed it hard.

"Oh Daddy, Dadddy can I keep it? Pleeeasssse?" said Marslia with big puppy eyes. Tyrion didn't answer but looked to Tru.

The latter just shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes.

He bent down and looked at Marslia who was still awaiting her answer. He rubbed her head softly. "You have to be sure to feed it and take it out everyday, ok?" said Tru as she began jumping around the room.

"Oh yes yes I promise I will take good care of it. I'll even name it…hmmm…how about Red Star! That's a pretty name!" said Marslia as she ran off to her room.

Tyrion just glared at Tru who gave him a sly smile and stuck out his tongue. "Oh stop it, you know you could have taken care of it." complained Tyrion.

"Yeah but I already have Shadow so it's best with her for right now plus it's a Rank C magical beast. It'll be a good contract for her when she awakens." replied Tru.

"Yeah yeah. So you say" said Tyrion as he walked over to his work table. "Did you get rid of the beast and bring the stones?"

Tru dumped the stones onto the table in front of the blacksmith. "Yeah I did." said Tru "Just one problem, the quest included the cub and you see where that has us."

"Tch just forget about long as you rid of the others and brought the stones this will do just fine." said Tyrion as he began hammering away.

"Shadow current Magic level 43333/150000"

Tru smiled at the notifications as he felt Shadow become slightly stronger due to their bond. He looked at the Necrocoil which was fast asleep as always. He then turned to Tyrion who was hard at work.

"Soooo uh how long will it be before you're done? No rush just curious." nervously asked Tru. Tyrion didn't spare him a look and kept working away.

"It'll be bout 4 days." grunted the Black smith as he threw the magic stones in the smelter. Tru nodded and then turned to the trio that was sitting there quietly. He walked over and could see they were shaking from fear.

He stooped down and looked Joff dead in the eye. He raised Blasphemy and used Weapon Enchantment and coated the gauntlet in fire. He looked at them and could they were nervous and couldn't help but let out a big sigh.

"Listen, I don't have anything against you three. Mainly because you're children. So I'm going to cut you a deal." said Tru as he stood up.

"W-what's the deal?" asked Cristin who was skeptical of Tru's sudden behavior.

"Yeah we did ambush you earlier." said a Crisping who reeked of piss the most.

Seeing them question his intentions angered him but Tru just closed his eyes. "Shut up and listen. Damn."

Joff was about to rebuttal but quickly closed his mouth and waited. Tru looked them all in the eyes individually. "You want contracts? Fine I'll help you get them." said Tru which caused the boys eyes to grow wide with joy.

"REALLY YOU WILL?!" they all said in unison so loud it made his ears ring.

"HEY! Yall need to shut up whilst a man is working. I can't concentrate!" shouted Tyrion in annoyance. They quickly bout their hands over their mouths to prevent any sound.

"Yes I will help you but only and only if you straighten this place up. That means whatever Tyrion needs you'll do without question. Also you'll help Marslia with Red Star. Got it?" asked Tru as he squinted at them.

The didn't say a word or move their hands but nodded in agreeance. Tru smiled and disappated his mana causing the room to grow dim again. He dusted himself off and rubbed Shadow's head.

"Good, I want to see this place spotless and trust I'll be asking Tyrion for a report on your behavior when I get back." said Tru as he walked to the door.

Cristin stood up quickly as he watched Tru walk away. "Where are you going?!" yelled the boy. Tru didn't turn around and went out the door.

"Don't worry about that." Tru shouted back "I'll see you in four days time." with him shouting that last answer he disappeared from view. The trio then looked at each other and steeled their resolve. They began to swiftly and quietly clean up the workshop so not to disturb Tyrion.

"Well where are you off to now that you found someone to make you a sword?" asked Wrath.

"I guess first thing is to clear out those dungeons and hopefully by that time Tyrion will be finished." honestly answered Tru.

"Hmmm, not a bad idea. Though which one are you going too first?" curiously asked Wrath.

"Missions"

*ding*

Mission: Defeat the 4 Dungeon monsters

Reward: ???

"I don't know I'll have to ask someone what dungeon is the closest around here." said Tru when he stopped a middle aged man who look to be an adventurer.

The man gave Tru a rude look from him bothering him. "What do you want you red skinned freak?" angrily grumbled the man.

Being called a red skinned freak surprisingly rubbed Tru the wrong way but he ignored it. "I'm sorry to bother you but I just wanted directions. What's the closest dungeon to Vinswill?" politely asked Tru.

"Oh" said the man as his tone completely changed "That would be Bear's Deep Cave. Just north of here."

"Ok thank you." replied Tru as he walked away when he felt hand grab his shoulder. He grin back and it was the man.

"Hey just fair warning I'd be careful the dungeon beast has been acting crazy. It's also attracted the attention of several adventures and even the Zil Guild." said the man.

"Thank you I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate the warning." said Tru before taking off. He ran towards the north gate and reached it in a matter of seconds. He could see many parties of adventurers together forming plans and strategies to beat the dungeon.

"Huh, guess the man was right. I wonder what's going on in the dungeon that has the attention of so many people." said Wrath as they passed several parties.

"Could be anything. Who kn-" said Tru before he was interrupted by someone stopping him. He looked and saw it was a cocky looking man with fancy gold armor and a bejeweled sword.

"Hey you look strong enough to Darry my parties bags." said the man, causing his other member to snicker and laugh. "What do you say? You join to party of me, the great Leo Caca? You can even get some of the spoils, if there's any left."

Tru ignored him and walked right past without a word leaving the man speechless as was his companions. "Tch fucking Rank F doesn't know his place. This could have been a great opportunity for him." said Leo before walking away.

"Ah screw him Leo it's his loss!"

"Yeah he's going to be wishing he teamed up with you after you conquer it."

"You don't see anyone else offering to team up with a Rank F. I say that was generous of you."

Leo's teammates comforted and helped him kick his wounds after being rejected. "Tch screw him guys, come one let's get ready to head out." said Leo with his chest out and fixing his slicked back hair.

"I propose a wager." said Leo as his teammates gathered around. "Who ever lands the last blow on the Dungeon Beast gets to keep the magic stone. What do you say?"

This caused his teammates to nod as they all agreed this sounded like a good plan and added some excitement. They were about concluded when a man came up with closed eyes and a wide smile.

"Do you have room for one more member? I'd also like to join in this wager, maybe make it even better?"
