A tourist.

Walking in the devoted people were white and black clothes of the scared church and holding different symbols in there hands. All people from different parts of the Earth come here, and to get their wishes granted.

Mercy was looking at the cleanliness of the streets, the proper attire and verbal technique people used was sharp and less considerate.

There town was old and majestic when seen from the outside, but there are always more exceptions to see.

"Please me something." A little girl in ragged brown clothes dust littered all over her face and fleas in short hair came walking with a small tin mug towards Mercy, when he entered the back alley of the a church near the wall.

Mercy looked at her feet and hands, both were more worked up than Arya. The girl sharked her mug of coins once again to call back Mercy's attention. "I haven't eaten in days please help me."

Mercy couldn't help but smile, he knelled down to the little girl feeling her heart beat increasing from fear or maybe hope. "What do you want to eat?" Mercy stared into the girl's eyes, one of pupils was pure white and another was red.

"I don't want food, please give me some money. I need money for my family." The girl shook her head and requested for money instead.

"I have a whole day for me, and it is just the morning. I want to have some fun roaming around the district, do you know this place well?"

"...." The girl hesitated to answer, she was feeling dread but, "I know her heartbeat, the people looking at us right now, the weapons they have... I need to lower down my power here."

Soon, Mercy slowed himself down, the heartbeat and presence of the people nearby got lower and lower, soon he couldn't even hear the hymns sung in the church 2 buildings away from him. 

Just like a human, his eyes, awareness and guts for sensing danger were the only thing protecting him now.

Mercy moved away from the girl, and brought out a bag of coins. "I have 10 gold coins with me, along with iron, silver and gems too."

He dumped gold, silver and a ruby from his purse into his hand in front of the girl. "If you give a proper tour of the town, I will give 5 gold coins, and a ruby. Do you still don't want to give me a tour?"

Lost in the allure of the gold ahead of her the girl gave no answer, she walked close and close to the Mercy's hand. Seeing all the gold for herself, maybe she had never seen that much gold to closely before.

"The red stone is so pretty. Can I get that?" That caught Mercy by surprise Mercy didn't expect the girl the find the ruby more admiring in all the gold.

"The terms all already on the table, a tour for this stone and gold coins. Do you know all the places around here?"

"No...but Romeo does, or maybe Sana does..."

"Bring each of your friends here, I want a full tour of the district by the night, if you can do that. I will give you more rewards, so bring out all your friends."

"Hm. Don't run away... What is name, Sir?"

"You can call me, Mercy. And the question, "What is your name?" you missed your. Now, run and bring your friends time is ticking."

The girl nodded and clutched the mug tight and ran away as fast she could on her little bare feet.

"I wonder how many kids are will come?" Mercy stood by the wall thinking about different things, like why did Sera mention seeing things she didn't want to. "That girl was already gone through some things I am sure."

Time passed soon, after that and the girl returned with a group 5 children with her. "Mercy! I brought all my friends that know each place." The girl began introducing them one by one.

"The thinnest and baldy is Romeo, the girl in red dress is with black hair is Chisa, the next one is Lisa, she is fastest runner, then are Sana who can get anywhere and this is Love, the team leader who is very powerful. And last but not the least is me, Eva the one with the best luck." The girl proudly puffed her chest.

"Eva and lucky? I think the stars were aligning in ironic ways these days. Things are going be fast, are you children ready to for a the trip?" Mercy announced to the children.

"First show me the gold and ruby, you promised to her. We will talk after that." Love talked back, and put his arms on his hip, and overgrown red hair on the side, standing like the leader he was called. Mercy followed his orders showed the gold from his purse.

"Wow..." The gold shined in the eyes of the other children, they ran towards Mercy took for themselves. They slowly touched the cold shinning gold, and there faces were lit. None of the five even cared for the ruby,

"Where is the ruby?" Except for the one which didn't care for the gold. Eva came closer and took at the shinning stone. But before she could touch it Mercy whipped away the ruby and gold into his purse.

"You will get to see the rest when you tour me through the city."

"Let's go then." And the journey began with his little guides and they began moving towards into another street.

"This is the art street. All poor artist come here to sell there paintings here, some even get rich." Love explained. His thin skin barely visible under a makeshift leather rag shirt.

They covered there way through the art market, different paints trying to visualize gods were hanging on the walls, there were other beautiful art some in technique that Mercy knew existed. But there was something else was at his notice too.

"The rich didn't bother coming close to him, all the people dressed in whatever clothes, were opening a way for them walk away.There eyes were looking sharp at the children, who didn't even bother to look at them.

"They are looking at us..." Chisa was wrapped around herself, and turned her head around so fast like she was make sure to look at everybody who was looking at her.

"Hey Chisa, do you want to put everyone to sleep?"
