3 Chapter 02: Welcome to The Beginners Town (2/2)

The one I could see was a striking deep green that could break through any defenses.

Her curves were the perfect tools to hunt with as her arms and legs where what you could say fit and flexible. She had curves so appealing to the eye that they could bring any opponent to his knees.

Even though she wasn't my type, I wouldn't mind being devoured for a night by a woman with her talents. ”The feeling I got from her was a strong, warm and independent feeling.

She approached one of the other men who was flexing his muscles.

”Already hunting I see, let's see who will win”. Hugo thought to himself.

The woman greeted the flexing man by putting her arm around his shoulder and acted friendly towards him.

”Well hello there, and who might you be, handsome?”

The flexing man had short curly brown hair and piercing brown/green eyes.

Even his skin was darker than most, giving off the vibe that he was not from around here.

He looked up as he introduced himself; ”I-I am Geo?!”

The feeling I got from this guy was that he had a firm opinion but wasn't really good with women. Other than that it felt like he had rooted a firm belief in himself.

Geo widened his vision as the women got closer with her body.

”The name is Alessia, Alessia Scarlet.

I have never seen such a fit man like yourself before, so you have plans for tonight? She grinned while asking this.

Knowing that he had arrived here just like here.

He could barely handle the sheer prowess of the woman as she introduced herself and succumbed to the approach of the woman. Even though it was a rather failed attempt, Geo tried to act mature towards Alessia, letting her know she was not the first thing on his mind.

”After we know where this is and why we are here I'll have all the time in the world for you, Babe”. ”Babe?! No one calls me Babe!” Alessia slapped Geo and moved on to what seemed to be her next target. ”That was such a turn-off... On to the next one hmhm.”

I got the feeling that she would eventually approach me as well, as she was trying her luck with every man in the group. Which is why I decided to observe the others a bit longer.

On the far right of the group there where two girls sitting next to each other,

One seemed to be in a bit of a panic as the other was trying to comfort her,

Joking around a little and telling her about the failed pick up attempt, trying to laugh together.

”That man is such a disgrace, right girl? He should have handled the situation with a bit more respect. Well... looking at her physique you have to be insanely strong mentally or gay to no fall for her charms.”

The one with curly orange hair and shining turquoise eyes even seemed to have freckles.

It seemed she was looking around nervously as she didn't recognize where she was.

She did have to laugh about the jokes, this helped her feel a little at ease.

The other girl that was laughing with her had short light brown hair and bright purple eyes, She seemed to be a bit more mature than the other girl yet because of the jokes seemed playful as well. Kind of like a big sister. She introduced herself but I was too far away and couldn't hear them speak to each other.

Aside from the group, there was one woman that seemed to be a bit of a lone wolf.

She was standing in the corner right next to the stairs.

As she was standing there the woman had a more mature and mysterious vibe than the other girls.

”Not wanting to blend in? She seems to be cut from the same piece of wood as me”.

I decided to try and talk to her as she was the only one left without a companion.

As I was walking towards her I noticed something odd when she brushed her long light/dark blue hair away with her hand.

There seemed to be some kind of birthmark on the side of her neck.

As I was closing in I greeted her; ”Hey, I'm planning to ask the guard if he can tell us something about the place we have arrived at or maybe where we are, care to join me? My name is Michael by the way, it's nice to meet you”.

I held my hand open in front of her waiting in anticipation and hoping that she would react to me. The woman didn't know how to react as she was puzzled by my approach and stayed silent for a bit. She looked away and softly answered a bit frustrated.

”I don't know where we are, this is all so confusing...

But yes, I would like it if we can ask the guard what to do together”.

She did not shake my hand and turned around to move towards the guard.

”Ouch... that was awkward and a bit cold... well... let's go.”

Just as she wanted to walk towards the guard she stopped and introduced herself.

With her back toward me, she told me her name.

I..I'm Aqua, Cordelia Aqua. My friends used to call me Aqua a lot, I hope we can be friends too. Let's find out what needs to be done first”.

She said, turning a bit red while giving a quick glanse at me.

Her cold, yet shy but gentle demeanor was a first for me as I usually am more hyped, positive and direct towards others. This made Aqua look cool in my eyes.

He could not clearly see her eyes because she only gave a quick glance back when she turned around, but he swore that he saw dim topaz yellow eyes.

Just as they were walking towards the guard it seemed that a duo of two men beat them to it.

”Yo Bro, care to tell us who you are? Why we are here? What this place is and what needs to be done in the future? Cause I Raiden and my buddy Draven here even though we just met want to get to a bar as soon as possible. Maybe we can pick up some ladies there after this is all done”.

The man who was talking seemed to be a bit older than me, had short combed back spiked blonde hair and red eyes, he seemed really energetic and direct which at first glance looked like the complete opposite of his partner.

Raiden had his arm around Draven his shoulder and was buddying him put just a bit too much. Draven didn't seem to appreciate his hyper friendly behavior towards him.

The guard explained to us all that this was the Obelisk of Summoning, a place where otherworldy humans get summoned to aid in the never-ending waves of Chaos.

The guard continued to tell us that we as adventures needed to register ourselves in the town of beginning to start off our journey of becoming Top Tier Drifters.

The Elite of this world that fight of the hordes of The Void.

”Dude... We have barely met each other, who are you to be all buddy-buddy with me?”

The other man replied. Draven pushed Raiden of him sighed and left for the stairs as the guard had told them to walk down the tower and follow him towards town.

The other man had short spiked white hair in the back, yet also had hair covering his eyebrows and one side of his face.

His eyes were bright pink, I had never seen eyes like that, but did not pay much attention to it. He brushed of Raiden's arm and walked towards the stairs after talking to the guard that told us to walk down the tower.

As Draven was walking past me although it was brief, he seemed to quickly glance at me.

”What is his problem?” I asked Aqua, but she shrugged not knowing why.

I noticed him looking at me, but like with the special color of his eyes decided to not pay much attention to it. ”What does he want from me? Better not irritate him as we are in an unknown environment. Never know what could happen.

The guard led the way as we made our way down the tower.
