Thrown Away
The guards dragged Lucien all the way back to the council building and threw him inside.Lucien’s head was throbbing painfully, and he was covered in snow.“Well, hello Mr. Lucien Verglas.”Lucien slowly raised his head and recognized the person standing before him as Mr. Armos.“Why are you doing this to me?” Lucien asked.Mr. Armos shot Lucien a look like he was looking at the most repulsive thing in the world, “Don’t you dare speak you piece of trash!”The guard whacked Lucien in the head again, blurring his vision.“Sir what

Progress
Lucien practiced trying to form the cool mist, but every time he did, it became more and more faint. After only six tries, he couldn’t do it anymore.‘It’s not much, but it’s a start!’Lucien looked at the numerous pathways around him that lead deeper into the cave.He picked a random pathway out of the nine that he counted and walked towards it. At the mouth of the tunnel he stopped and examined the inside. Icicles hung from the ceiling and ice covered the floor and walls of the cave.Lucien’s feet and hands started to go numb.‘There has to be a way out, otherwise, how did that vazuron get in here?’

Traveler
Boom!A blast sounded off through the entire forest as a man emerged from near the foot of a mountain with nothing on except for a pair of dirtied, torn up shorts that reached just above his knees. His hair was white, scattered, and reached down to just below his shoulders and covered his eyes. He stood very tall, at least 6’3”, and his muscles were very lean and chiseled with the occasional scar here and there.The man had a frighteningly chilly aura about him, making everything around him began to frost over as he walked through the forest to an unknown destination. Even the animals avoided him.Roar!A bear, commonly known as Brinit, that stood nearly twelve-foot-tall with very sharp claws, appeared before the man and r

First Job
Lucien strolled through town slowly until he came across a tavern named Calver Tavern.He decided to try regular food. He wondered what it would taste like since he had nothing but monster meat for six years.He sat down at a table and waited for the waitress to notice that he had sat down.The place was very noisy as it was crowded with people drinking, talking, and joking.The waitress was a beautiful woman with hazel eyes and shoulder length brown hair. She was wearing what looked to be a maid’s black dress.She walked over to him slowly since she was a little concerned that she couldn’t see his face because of his hood.

Finish the Job
Lucien was headed back to the inn he was staying at to store his payment in his room, but he saw something that piqued his interest: A bank.Lucien had no idea that such a thing existed until he saw the sign outside of a tall dome building with columns all made of pure marble. What caught his attention was the wording underneath ‘Stria City Treasury Bank’: A safe place for your earnings.The building was surrounded by hired guards that patrolled the outside of the bank.Lucien stepped inside to see that the inside was also being patrolled by more guards and there was a marble counter that split the building in half. Behind the counter stood the clerks.Lucien approached one of the clerks.

Confrontation
To everyone’s surprise, Lucien walked through the guildhall’s doors… alone. Instantly, a flow of conversation erupted through the guildhall.“Didn’t he go on a job with Mikal’s team?”“Yeah, I wonder where they are.”“Is that blood on his cheek?”“That looks like the same cloak that Mikal wore.”“Did something bad happen?”“Maybe.”“He’s probably the only survivor after the run in with the dragon.”“That d

Disturbance
“That siagan was really giving you a rough time wasn’t it?” a woman wearing silver armor prodded.“Oh, shut up Christine! I was just… playing around with it before I killed it, that’s all,” spluttered a young man with two small daggers and wearing a dark brown clock that only covered the top half of his torso.Christine giggled as the party of four she was in just finished up with their hunting job.“Ashon, Christine, cool it. It’s time to head back,” ordered a more mature man with ginger hair and beard.“Is it ok if we stop by a tavern before heading to the guild, Alexander. I’m hungry,” asked a small young woman wearing an archer’s hood and carrying

Cut a Deal
They warriors all charged at the miremog.Archers shot their arrows as the assassins slashed at the legs.The miremog made swipes, but the assassins took cover or dodged in time.Kaboom!A group of mages banded together and combined their magic into one powerful blast of magic that collided into the stomach of the massive creature. The magic blast left a hole a couple of feet deep in the miremog. Despite it not blasting through it, this still gave many of the warriors hope.‘That actually did some damage!’“Healers focus your efforts on the mages! Everyone else, make sure the monster doesn’t wipe the mages ou

The Journey Home - Start
Lucien walked with nothing but a single map in hand that a small shop owner gave to him as a gift when he explained that he needed it but didn’t have the necessary funds to buy it.‘The council members failed to mention that they confiscated all the money I earned. Greedy pigs. Oh, well. At least I’m A-Rank. Now I earn a salary from the Monarchy.’He had planned on buying a horse at the very least to make the trip faster and easier. Now, he couldn’t even buy any food to take with him on his journey. He decided to stop at the next city and collect his salary from the next guild he saw and buy what he needed then.For now, he kept putting one foot in front of another as he traveled alone along the dirt road that reached towards the southeast.

To Find Children
“I’m sorry, but that job request was cancelled recently,” the receptionist sighed.“I’m still taking it.”“You know that you won’t be paid for it, correct?”“Correct.”Lucien looked for an address in the job request, which was listed on the bottom. After finding this information he headed back out of the guildhall and towards the inn he was staying in.Up in his room, he laid in his bed and stared at the job request as he thought about his parents.‘Don’t worry mother, father. I’ll head home as soon as I figure out what happened to these kids. Just h
