4 Chapter 03: The Guildhall of Sharoo (1/2)

Walking down what seemed like a Tower or Obelisk of some sort. Making our way down it seemed like the surface of the obelisk gave off a faint glow, almost as if it was magic.

As we got to the entrance of the tower there were all kinds of fireflies flying around.

This gave off a soothing and magical vibe in the night time, we made our way to the nearest town. On the way, we saw all kinds of docile little creatures that were curious about the new faces they saw. A large cat-like creature walked up towards me purring and looking at me as if it wanted to play.

*purr* *purr* *Meeooww*

I lowered myself a bit and gestured towards the cat-like creature to come closer.

”Hey little buddy, don't worry I won't hurt you. Come here, so I can greet you properly.

The cat was a bit cautious but closed in ever so slowly, when it was next to me I opened my hand and let him take in my smell as to let him know that he could trust me.

The cat pushed his head against my hand and started purring more loudly.

*puurr*

”Is this a nice town buddy?” I scratched a bit behind his ear as I saw that he liked it and sat down next to me. The cat put down its head making it easier to scratch behind its ears.

*Meerrooww*

You like that don't you? Don't you? Haha.

”I have to go to the town now little fellow, I don't know if you can come inside the town,

but I'll be sure to give you some food when I see you again.”

The cat looked a bit puzzled, licked his paw and scratched his right ear.

Before turning around the cat noticed a glowing moth and began chasing after it, leaving me behind. As it ran toward the trees it turned around one more time to look back and went on its way.

Aqua giggled as our group made their way towards the town.

”You're really good with animals Michael, the cat really seemed to like you.”

Embarrassed by the compliment I scratched behind my head, not knowing what to say.

”I think it could be it liked me because I stayed calm and let it come to me? But I don't know.

I liked playing with the cat.”

We finally had arrived in the town.

There was a huge gate with a sign above it saying Sharoo.

The Guard guided us towards the center of the town known as The Guild Hall.

No one knew what to expect, Although there was one thing everyone was certain about.

We were not home anymore.

When looking at the stars as we entered the town it became clear, the star sea was vastly glowing purple, blue and pink while the moon was a dark overshadowing red.

It was weird because like I noticed before it was not just one moon like at home, but there were actually three here, one bigger than the other. Partially covering the one in the back.

Going from Red to Orange and even Yellow. These moons were nothing like at home.

Suddenly the voice spoke again.

”To survive in this world you have to learn as much as possible from the guards and people in the building you will be guided to.

It is crucial for you to understand the basics of survival and find me as fast as possible as I have chosen you as the holder of my spirit.

Although I don't have any proof I am certain about the fact that there is at least one other person in this group that is also guided by a spirit like me.

That person could prove to be the biggest obstacle you have to face,

as the spirit that guides this individual gives of malicious energy.

I promise you, we will meet soon, but for now, you are on your own, we can't let them find out that you can hear the voices of the spirits.”

The guard showed us around town a bit letting us know where to trade at the market and exchange the items inside The Guild Hall.

The Market Place was vast and crowded as there were a lot of people trying to make a living there. Offering all kinds of goods from Food \u0026 Drinks to Materials and Equipment.

Everyone was laughing and shouting to promote their product in the hope of attracting customers. Guards were there to keep order as there where still people living in poverty trying to steal food and beasts at night which could threaten the villagers.

Even during the night hours, the town was alive.

”At least we don't have to worry about bigger organizations wreaking havoc here in Sharoo”. The guard said with relieve.

One of the girls in the group asked why, but the guard didn't pay any attention to the question as if he wasn't meant to tell us more about it.

”Since it is crucial for us, the beginning adventures to register ourselves and to get ourselves checked for any kind of talents. This would help us to develop our abilities and skills in the near future”.

The guard proceeded to show us how to get to the main hall and where the local area of taverns was. In this area, it was really lively too. Most Taverns were packed with visitors, partying away or even gathering information.

The Guild Hall was insanely huge, all kinds of different species walked in and out of the building, not just humans, there where also crossbreeds like Lizardman, Catpeople, Bunnies, wolfs, bears and more. Even Elves!

”What kind of treasure would be hidden in the forests outside of the city,

in the places beyond or even in this Guild Hall, we arrived at?”

I thought to myself as I wandered around the majestic looking building.

From outside it seemed that the center of the building would be open as some kind of structure was build in the middle. This was proven to be true as the guard showed us around the entire structure, making it clear it had a circular build to it.

The group was instructed to split up register as soon as possible because this would allow them to get registered and start off their adventure, living here in the unknown world.

After the guard was done guiding all of us. Everyone was eagerly going to the counters to register there for their Adventurer licenses.

The guard went on his break as he fulfilled his duty.
