Meetings and guest

Zack POV

Well...this was expected but the look on everyone face in the room tells me that they were expecting this as well and both the Guild master and Justino are ready to debate for us.

Ohin: I am sorry miss, but the kids are already registered and members of the adventure guild.

Ashlyn: I'm sorry Guild master, but I thought that you have to be the age of 15 or older to register?

Ohin: These kids have meet special criteria and got approve by our fine adventure Sir Justino. Also don't the church also have special criteria about accepting members.

Ashlyn: I respect Sir Justino and the choices he made, However, is really ok with forcing kids to put their life at risk and for what to make a few silvers to stay at the inn to repeat it again the next day.

Oh, this girl is good. It's no wonder that the church sends her to retrieve us. While we are waiting, I want to check this girl stats I haven't been doing it much as I wanted too.

Gilbert stats are normal and boring. But it seems about right for him.

With both the guild master and Justino debate against Ashlyn, I see that the angle is moving around the room. My curiosity got the best of me and I watch his every movement. The angle appears to do stretches and a weapon appear out of nowhere and he begin to inspect. His weapon is a long two handed sword that seems to be emitting light or holy magic. After looking at the sword, he looks at me and wave his hand in a hello motion. I decided to wave back, and the angle face was fill with confusion. He walks one end of the room to another in an endless motion. I still have my head fixed to him. He walks right next to me and got down one knee and said something next to my ear. "You can see me?" I didn't say anything as there are people who are having a war with their voices. I just nodded my head. Both Marcus and Lisa were looking at me and the angle then both of them resume to focus at the conversation they had. The angle got close to Ashlyn and into her ear. When the angle step away, Ashlyn became silent which in turn made the room fall silent as well.

Ashlyn: I have received word from the heavens, I will not be asking for the two kids, the heavens want the three of them to come to the temple and be train by the church.

If the room is not as loud as before, it is now as both Ohin and Justino are talking with force behind their voices to keep us here. The three of us just look at each other and waited for the perfect time to talk.

Ashlyn: I fully believe that it is true, but have you ever considered that these kids are not normal? Have you ever considered their education? Or the environment for these kids?

Like her words are blades, the entire room fell into silent.

Ashlyn: Now your thinking about the kids future. Do not pretend that the event happen in the guild are covered up, I have done my research. If the kids did not know self-defense, they would have got seriously hurt or killed.

Don't you mean the other people?

Ashlyn: Furthermore, I have reason to believe that the kid wearing the bird mask is having a hard time following us in the conversation. Are you neglecting him? It is almost like he could not understand us.

I saw at the corner of my eye that Justino face twitch.

Ashlyn: So, I was right. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SO INCOMPETENT TO NEGLECT THESE CHILDREN TO THAT DEGREE. I SHOULD HAVE THE GODS ERASE YOU PEOPLE FROM EXISTENCE. ALSO TELL ME ABOUT THE GIRL WITH BANDAGES AROUND HER HEAD HOW IS IT THAT YOU ARE NOT ONLY PUTTING KIDS IN DANGER, BUT ALSO HAVING THEM THE BURDIN TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BLIND SISTER. YOU PEOPLE DISGUST ME. This meeting is adjourned, follow me kids we have a lo-

Marcus: No

I can see that The Guild Master and Justino looking at Marcus in confusion.

Ashlyn: I'm sorry I did not hear that we don't have ti-

Marcus: No

I can see Ashlyn face starting to twitch up

Ashlyn: umm your going to hurt big sister fe-

Lisa: He said no. I wonder if you can accept the fact that we don't want to go with you, or the thick skull of yours wont listened to us. Also, I am not blind, I have sensitive eyes thank you very much. If you clearly did your research, Justino is actually teaching us many things as well as the guild master is providing free accommodation for us. Not only did I find it offensive that the church only requests the two of us and leaving my brother alone, yet later you only want us three because some voices tell you too. I find this unbelievable.

Way to go Lisa, I can see Ashlyn is losing composure.

Ashlyn: Listen, I am trying to help you. Really, I am, but I need you to cooperate with me.

Gilbert: Some kids need a beating to und-

Zack: If you touch them, I will make sure that the guild will not heal your wounds, you ill-bore swine.

I release my intimidation skill along holding my halberd ready and the entire room went into a state of panic. Both Lisa and Marcus had their weapon and drones out. Both the guild master and Justino were dripping in cold sweat and getting ready to stop us, Ashlyn had multiple magical barrior and is saying something under breath, and Gilbert had his weapon out along with sweat pouring down his face and steeping back. And the angle sensing danger approaching, ready his weapon

Zack: We have already given our answer that we do not want to go. If you keep on the pressure or even threatening us or anybody close to us, we will make sure that you and anybody that you know will not live to tell the tale. NOW GET OUT.

Gilbert have said nothing and went to pick up Ashlyn off the ground who was sitting in a yellow puddle. After the two of them left the room, Both the Guild master and the angle walk up to me and both ask why I refused their offer. To which I responded, "Going over there is stupid and boring". The guild master was had his mouth open and was about to say something but close his mouth and sit at his desk. While the angle sits at one of the empty couches.

Ohin: Justino, take the kids back and make sure the church doesn't do anything. I highly doubt they will but just to make sure.

Justino I understand, Follow me kids.

When we left the guild master room, we proceeded to head down the stairs and see many of the guild members in a state of panic, some are out cold while others are trying to comprehend what is happening.

You might want to turn that intimidation down a bit.

Sorry, my anger got the best of me.

Some run up to Justino to ask what happen. All Justino could say was to not worry and everything is under control. He then told Marcus to check up on those people and Marcus went off. Lisa began to cast a spell Calm Mind to help these people relax so they don't do anything stupid. As for me, I went to the kitchen in the back, behind the bar and grab some water and watch what happen. Soon after, the angle went down stairs, he walks towards me, and pulled up a chair next to me then proceeded to talk to me.

???: You know, its very rare that people can see spiritual beings like angles. Why did you refuse to join the church? They have many things they can offer you. You may not know it now, but you will regret it by not joining them. They can offer knowledge that not many kingdoms have access to as wel-

Bla-Bla-bla you talk too much. I wonder if your stats are more impressive then Gilbert

Holmelight Cascadia

Race: Angle

Strength: XX+

Vitality: O+

Dexterity: S+

Agility: O-

Magic: X+

States: None

Title: Angle of Nestan, Battle Harden, Warrior, Teacher, Guidance, Friend, Against All Odds

Hmm not bad.

Holmelight: Furthermore, I personally believe that you ar-

Zack: Holmelight, I know the actions that we made. The main reason for why I did not join the church is that I would like to be free.

Holmelight: How do you know my name?

Zack: That's not the point. The point is that if I join the church is that yes, they will give us information, but it will be the information that they choose to feed us. As for the food, they will keep us feed but I want to have the freedom to cook. Also, the way gilbert has treated the people in the guild, I afraid that they will reshape us in ways that we might end up like him. In no offence, I kind of like this life style. Protecting people and making a name for myself, even if they fear me. I believe that I am more of use to be an adventure then being trap inside the church.In short, I like to have freedom.

Holmelight: Hmm that may be the case and I will respect your outlook choice.

Zack: Now I have a question for you Holmelight. Why did the church want us? Surely you can shed some light to this or even angles don't know everything?

Holmelight: We don't know everything, but I do know why the church wants you three. There are rumor that your friend with the white bird mask became famous by healing people. Looking at him now, I do not believe that he possesses magical ability, but the church does not know about it and they want to train him to be a high member or a priest in the church. Same could be said for the blind girl as well. There are rumors in the church that she possesses light attribute magic and willing to take her in as well. As for you, I ask the girl if she can take you. People who can see divine or supernatural beings are EXTREMELY rare. So rare in fact that in all my years of being alive, you are the second being I came across who could see me in the mortal plane

Zack: Hu, cool.

Holmelight: COOL? COOL? YOU SHOULD BE BLESS. You are one strange kid.

Zack: And you are an alright guy. Anyway, should you be going to that priest who almost kidnap us?

Holmelight: Its not kidnaping, and you are right I best should be going. May I ask for your name?

Zack: Don't worry I don't have one, so it should be simple. Anyway, I best be going.

I immediately got out of my chair and walk to where my companion are as I wave my hand goodbye, I can see the look of confusion on his face, but I paid no mind too it. As we are walking back to the Inn, I send messages to both Lisa and Marcus on the information I received from the angle and Justino started talking.

Justino: I didn't know that you have an imaginary friend. I used to have one too his name is Mr. Captain Sword Sir. He helps me practice my swordsmanship skills. He wore a VERY tall blue hat.

Zack: What happen to him?

Justino: I haven't seen him in a while. But I do know that he is out there.

This man is not joking.

As we reach the Hilltop Inn, there wasn't as much people in the afternoon.

Justino: Ok I will be going back to the guild for a while, make sure you don't give Sasha a hard time while I am gone.

Zack: No promises.

Justino: I will trust you on this.

Just then Justino left the inn and went back to the guild. Sasha began talking to us.

Sasha: Is it true that You guys are leaving?

Lisa: Who told you that?

Sasha: Well, everyone been talking about it this morning that the church wanted to take you guys to their capital. With all the healing he been doing and the quest he been doing, everyone is panicking about losing you guys.

Lisa: Does this place have a cleric or a doctor.

Sasha: We do have one, but they are expensive. A famous story is that a son got sick and went to the doctor. But they charge the family to the point that they have to sell their land in order to pay them back. Not only that, but they refuse to heal beast-men and other races. So, when you heal my mom, many people are speculating that he can heal people much cheaper then the healer. When he heals people for free (points at Marcus), people believe that he was a saint for the people.

All he did was just cure some common cold and stich some people cuts... I know what she means now.

Sasha: When the people of the church came to town, rumors begin to circulate, and it was confirmed by one of the adventure guild members. Many people became furious but can't do anything about it. As for buying medicine, the alchemist guild set their prices and sometimes many people can't afford it.

Lisa: how do people get heal?

Sasha: Sometimes when were sick, brother goes to the forest and collect some herbs and cure himself. Sadly, for most people, there are dangers out there some goblins others wolves. So, when people get sick, they request the guild to collect some. That not the case because the alchemist guild always has a bigger payout. Which in turn makes it near impossible to get them So people wait it out. Other times, they have to go to the cleric because of deep cuts or broken bones.

Lisa: That sounds about right.

As Lisa said that, Sasha turn her head to Marcus and put a hand over his shoulder.

Sasha: You're a good kid. Please for the people in the village don't chance. The man you fix his arm was heal the next day and started working harder then before to feed his kids. That kind of kindness can never be brought with money.

Marcus: ...

"Still as quiet as ever." She smiled for a second and walk to the front door. "Well I'll be gone for a bit mom is sleeping, dad and older brother is working at the guild, the kids are walking around the city, and grandma is on her chair sleeping." She points to the corner of the area and grandma is sleeping. "Bye".

As she left the building, I decided that today was a relaxing day. I ask Lisa and Marcus that is they want some seafood stew. They both said yes while Lisa yes put more excitement into it. I saw both of them went to sit down at our usual table while I went to the back of the kitchen and barrow their biggest pot. "Hope I don't get in trouble for this." I went to the inventory to the food section and selected all the necessary ingredients. I pick up the ingredients from my inventory and inspected it. "Hmm their fresh. At least I won't be spending money on food." I chop up some tomatoes, garlic and added cooking oil to the pot. While everything is heating up I peel off the skin of the shrimps. Once everything is done heated up I added the shrimp, mussels, squid, clam meat, and crab meat to the pot and added some hot sauce and broth flavoring. I can smell the spice aroma the stew was emitting. Before I knew it, I fill the pot to the brim. "I hope I didn't make too much."

When It was ready I grab the pot and some bowls and went out to the main area of the inn until a third person was sitting with Lisa and Marcus.

The girl has very dark silver and purple hair, her eyes were purple as well. Her skin tone was very pale, and she is wearing a silver dress. Judging base on her height, she was about 5,8 ft tall (1.77m) and drule is emitting out of her mouth.

???: Finally, FOOOOD 😊

I set the pot down at a table and I immediately slap her hand away as she was about to grab the pot. "Wash your hands". Both of our eyes were lock on to each other. A few moment later a water ball appear in front of her and she began to wash her hands. Seconds later the water ball disappears. She then was about to grab the pot. Again, I slap her hand again and told her to sit. Midway while walking back to the table she turns her head to me and said something under her breath. "If you got something to say, say it to my face". "I SAID YOUR MEAN." She walks back to our usual table and sat next to Lisa and Marcus. I grab the pot and bowls and walk over to the table and began to set everything up. Once I gave her a bowl she held it towards me and said, "Food Please". I look both Lisa and Marcus. Marcus shrug his shoulders and Lisa just gave me a nod. Once I pour her some stew she immediately gulps down the content including the shell of the mussels. Before I took my second spoon she asks for seconds. I pour her another bowl and again she devours everything including the shell. When we all are done eating, she began to thank me for the food. I respond with "your welcome" and I ask Lisa who is she.

Lisa: her name is Sansa, and she is simply put it... one of the gods.

Marcus: ...

Zack: ... I don't care if she is a god, eating shells is not right.

Sansa: Is that all you have to say? Your interesting but sadly we must get to business.

Zack: and that is?

Sansa: Was it you three that provided a powerful healing spell a week ago?

I was confuse on what she said on healing spell but Lisa began to speak up.

Lisa: Yes and no. The healing you are talking about is not from a spell but a potion.

Her face began to wide eye when Lisa mention a potion.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!! The magic aura from potion are incredibly weak. Even if that is true, then theoretically it should be impossible for us to detected it". As I was walking around the area of the conversation I saw that there was dark outside. When I open the curtain, I saw people that were stop in their tracks almost as if time have stop. Then I can hear Lisa talking to Sansa "What do you mean us?" "Many spiritual beings and skilled mages, have detected high concentrated both holy AND healing magic." I decided to step in on the conversation. "that explain a lot. Think about it, the chances of meeting an angle today and the chur-" "ANGLE?!?...By any chance this angle is Nestan angle?" "Yes, its Nestan angle and no he did not find out. He only wanted to know the reason why we didn't join the church.". She began to pounder for a bit before looking at the three of us and continue talking. "Well I guess my sister haven't figure it out yet. Who else know about this?". "A man who goes by the name Justino Mirea Quintal. Other then him just us three. "She began to put her figure on her chin and look at us. "Do you mind if I erase his memory so that only the four of us know this?". "You may, however, if you erase anything else, I will make sure you regret this." Lisa chimed in. "Very well." I can see her eyes change from a deep purple to a half of her one eye became pure bright silver color while the other half became pure darkness. She then closes her eyes and open them again. "With this the meeting is over." When she got up, a purple portal open. She took a few steps forward to the portal then stops, she turns her head towards me and look at the stew. "*sigh* you can take the stew but not the pot." She began to smile as a pot appear out of nowhere on her hand and walk towards stew, I decided to help her transfer the content of the pot as she was having a hard time. As she was running to the portal, I told her to clean up her mess and with a snap of her finger, the entire main area became clean. "Bye kids thank you for the meal". When she steps in the portal, the portal close up and sound began resuming from the outside.

Zack: Today was a weird day.

Lisa: I just going to sleep early.

Marcus: Mind telling me what she said, half of the conversation I couldn't understand.

Zack: I try to summarize it up for you.

Third POV

Somewhere in a different plain of reality

Sansa: I can't stop eating this stew. I should thank her for the offerings earlier or I wouldn't even get to taste food this good. Thankfully I found the magical problem, so I don't have to investigate anymore. I should call off the angles before things escalate.

As she notices that her pot was getting lighter she looks inside and come to realize that the stew was gone. A goddess tears that said that it was a rumor to be the rarest of all objects fell from her eyes.

Sansa: I should ask for more next time.
