[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Regarding the throne room, I can't say it's exactly my style, but I can appreciate the amount of work that it was needed to make it. The throne is quite something... It's just a wild guess, but I need to ask... Is this King Joshua's throne? I've been hearing some interesting things about him. He seems to be quite an interesting fellow to talk with..."[/color][/quote]

"Wow. You REALLY do talk a lot." The man said. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were just a two-bit magician who talks big but can't back it up."

"Anyway, that's not my throne. That's my sister's. She loves being grandiose after all." He finally answered your question as well as indirectly revealing his identity. "The Caldeyron line never really cared for thrones until Leyanne came along. Although, I did take an interest in crafting these chairs. Really challenges the mind." He added.

"Regarding something interesting, hmmm..." Joshua thought for a moment before coming up with an idea. "Aha, I know! I can kill you and have your corpse displayed somewhere in Varjo. Or I could add them to one of my projects. Or I could feed it to our wardogs. Or I could feed it to our North-born warriors. I bet your flesh will be just right for their tastes." He asked you as if you he was just inviting you to a harmless activity. "How is that for interesting? You really need to be more specific if we want to get anywhere."

The dread is still in the air.

"No time like the present." Said the armless Ian North.

The two of you began the long walk to Ambran. The trip was uneventful and quiet so far with only passing horses and wagons making noise. Soon, Ian broke the silence. "Say, you're a... Dragon, right?" Your client asked. "Usually, Dragons have all four limbs plus a nice pair of wings. Meanwhile, Wyverns have only two since their wings are their forelimbs. Kind of like you. So I'm all confused." Ian explained.

"Uhh, don't take this wrong okay? I am totally fine with you being a Wyvern and not a Dragon. I'm totally not judging you in any way, shape or form. I fully understand that I need an escort and that it should not matter who is escorting me." Your client droned on. "Also, I will not judge a person by color. Or by his or her gender. Or by his..."

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"You are the one who posted that request on the guild, right?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=fff200]Sort of.[/color]" The man replied. "[color=fff200]In a way.[/color]"

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"For sure. I'd never forget someone that looks just like Niel."[/b][/color][/quote]

"[color=fff200]Really now? Is Neil such a special person that you'd remember him in an instant?[/color]" The man inquired.

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"W-What do you need us to do sir?"[/b][/color][/quote]

The Neil-lookalike sighed as he stood up from the bonfire and began slowly walking around [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u]. "[color=fff200]I hear an old nun's making her way from Ambran to a certain Varjan village. She plans on doing missionary work there as well as some preaching for those who need it.[/color]" The man explained. "[color=fff200]As people who are well-acquainted with those lands, I'm sure you know the dangers inherent in that place.[/color]"

"[color=fff200]Why don't you two go meet her in Ambran and... help her out with a few gold coins? She could maybe hire herself a bodyguard with that.[/color]" The man told you. "[color=fff200]Or you can... rob her yourselves. She's got some stuff worth some gold. May as well go to you rather than to some Varjan barbarian, right?[/color]"

He then tossed a small pouch of gold at [u]Magnus[/u] before returning to the bonfire.

The trip to Ambran was peaceful and uneventful. "You know we're just telling a guy some directions, right?" He remarked to the excited and enthusiastic [u]Eilidh[/u].

Neil then sighed. "Anyway, it's uhh... nice to finally talk to you properly, Eilidh." He began. "I've never... This is my first time meeting a Centaur, you know? I mean, sure I've read about your kind but to... actually meet one. I never expected it. Well, a lot of things have happened to me recently that I never expected." He confessed. "Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you Eilidh. Do you mind telling me more about your kind? If you don't mind me asking..."

He then turned to [u]Ditzy[/u]. "And who might you be? Are you a... uhh, what's that word again? Hob... Hob... Hobbit! Yeah! Are you some sort of Hobbit?" He asked. It seems Neil does not have much knowledge regarding monsters.

The three women began their trip to Pravar with [u]Maria's[/u] sister, [u]Lily[/u], tagging along. The road was peaceful and quiet but it appeared that they have not met with the Centaur's group even if they were heading the same direction.

It was midday when they arrived in an area with Pravar's walls in the horizon. With [u]Maria[/u] and [u]Lily[/u] being monsters, it was inadvisable for the group to approach the Order city. Fortunately, their objective indicated the southern outskirts of Pravar in an abandoned church which would be outside the city's walls so there might not be any Pravarian authorities there.

Heading to the southern area, the group then ran into the desolate ruins of a church. It was not the place which once housed [u]Rebecca's[/u] faith as it was very much ruined and seemed abandoned for a very long time. The roof was completely gone and only some sections of the wall were standing. There were still wooden floorboards but they appeared they would give way if stepped on.

There the group found an old woman wearing a white dress that appeared to be ceremonial. "[color=fff79a]Oh! Oh, let me look at you![/color]" She approached [u]Yang[/u] and caressed her face. "[color=fff79a]You remind me of myself back when Peter and I had just met.[/color]" She remarked. "[color=fff79a]Have you seen him?[/color]" She then asked, probably referring to this Peter person.

"[color=fff79a]Where is that man? We'll be late for the ceremony![/color]" The woman began panicking. "[color=fff79a]He must be still in that... Armadillo bar in Ambran. Talking to the musicians. He's such a fine man. Must be making things right for me. As usual.[/color]" She explained her problem, calming down a bit as she reminisced.

"[color=fff79a]I-I beg you! Would you possibly go fetch him for me?[/color]" The old woman requested. Agitated again. "[color=fff79a]This was meant to be my perfect day! Please madams! Something must've happened! I can't bear it![/color]" She then began sobbing.

[quote=Ars Argento]"[color=00aeef][b]Is it a problem if I pin this on the billboard? It is, from yesterday's client... Huh, Miss Riñas invited us all over. I promised to let everyone know...[/b][/color]"[/quote]

"[color=f26522]Oh no problem! But I'm afraid everyone has left for today's requests.[/color]" Bart replied. "[color=f26522]Let me see there... Ah, the event's going to be in a few days from now. Well that's a relief.[/color]" He said as he read the flier. "[color=f26522]Looks like it's going to be big. I feel like we need to be all be here.[/color]" He further remarked.

"[color=f26522]We can talk about this with the others later though. What about you, Ars? What are you doing for today?[/color]" The guild master asked. "[color=f26522]You can catch up with the others in their quests if you want to do some questing. Or you can just sit back and relax for now.[/color]"

Then both of you hear the entrance doors open and what appeared to be a Harpy-like creature entered. "[color=f26522]I gotta handle this. Bye for now, Ars.[/color]"

After posting your request for materials, you went back to the forge behind the guild building. However, you find that it was occupied by a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/monstergirlencyclopedia/images/2/2e/Cyclops_0.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130701003000]Cyclops[/url] who was already checking the furnace.

Noticing your presence, she turned around to face you. "[color=lavender]Oh, hello the--[/color]" She froze after seeing you, her one eye widened to stare at you for a few moments. "[color=lavender]Wh-Who are you? Are you- Are you some sort of Lizardman?[/color]" She then asked. It was becoming clear that this is the first this Cyclops have seen your kind.

You finally arrive at the supposed location of the guild's headquarters. Since that place only had a very notable two-story building of seemingly Dwarven design and material, it was safe to assume that that was the guild headquarters.

After entering through its wooden double doors, you were greeted by a large hall and an orange-haired man. "[color=f26522]Well hello there! Welcome to The Guild! And yes, that's the actual name. It's a little confusing but I hope it's all right.[/color]" He welcomed you. "[color=f26522]Are you here to post a request? If so, then there is no need to actually enter the guild or anything. Just write your request on a piece of paper and post it on the request board outside.[/color]"

"[color=f26522]Unless it's something that you can't write because of special circumstances in which case, you can just tell it to any of us here.[/color]" He continued to explain.
