The next day I logged onto BRYZ and found myself in the room I’d rented for myself in whatever city we were in. I equipped my weapons and armour and opened the door. I walked downstairs and into the main lobby. Michelia was sitting at a table demolishing breakfast. Clarence was sitting opposite her. Staring in what was either horror or awe. Given by the amount of food she was putting down her throat while still being polite and neat as she did it.378Please respect copyright.PENANAvXaW7o2bP0
I sat down next to Clarence and watched as michelia put down her knife and fork. Next to a pile of four or five empty plates.378Please respect copyright.PENANA0XMQq64APm
She patted her lips with a napkin and looked at me. “Plan for the day, master assassin?”378Please respect copyright.PENANAPqdeb1iWL2
“First off, I am not a master assassin,” I said. “Second-“378Please respect copyright.PENANAAHquyw9rT8
I got an alert that I had a message. “Hold that thought.”378Please respect copyright.PENANABSalAvWows
I read the message. It was from seb asking if I was free in BRYZ for a quest.378Please respect copyright.PENANApV6obvhp94
I looked at the others and told them the messages contents.378Please respect copyright.PENANAC0PmrGKnSo
“You guys good with me slipping out for a bit?” I asked them. I won’t be gone long. Well, I don’t know how long this will take.”378Please respect copyright.PENANAEzsItJPQSr
“I’m good with it,” said Clarence. “Me and michelia can do a couple of quests and raise our levels while you’re gone.”378Please respect copyright.PENANASK2xaHDIxW
“Sounds good to me,” said michelia. “Just make sure you pull your weight,” she said to Clarence. “Cause if I have to use you as a human shield I will.”378Please respect copyright.PENANAX0KTIm8Xdz
I laughed. “Meet back here tomorrow evening? Or sooner if I finish this quickly and send a message.”378Please respect copyright.PENANAVWCVb8AqRM
“Sounds good to me,” said michelia. She stood up and grabbed Clarence by the shoulder plate. “Let’s get going,” she said as she dragged him out of his seat. “I want to go up four levels before Inji gets back.”378Please respect copyright.PENANAqHWqpXex8q
I smiled to myself as they went out the door. Friendship was a good thing to have as well as being comrades in our party.
I replied to Seb's message then stood up. He'd included coordinates for us to meet at in his message so I'd head there.
I settled the tab, holy crap Michelia could eat. Then I left and headed for the town's resurrection shrine to head to as close to the meeting place as I could get. I teleported to the resurresction shrine closest to it and looked around. I was in a forest and the spot was ten minutes due north.
I quickly began making my way there. Having to stop to avoid a war party of goblins that was marching through. I didn't fight them as they had a large group of archers and that would have been a serious weakness for me.
Within twenty minutes I had made it to the clearing that was the meeting spot and leaned against a tree and started to trim my nails with my hidden blade while I waited. Keeping an eye and an ear on my surroundings.
