39 The Town Osiris (1/2)
”Let's go get in line Alice,” Haru says walking forward. There are about twenty people that are in front of us. Well people, might not be the best way to describe everyone in the line. I spotted humans, an elf, a couple dwarfs and then all manner of creatures.
One looked a lot like a monkey, except he had very human structure, another woman had the upper body of a woman but the lower body of a mantis. Then I saw a man that was so round, every time he breathed his whole body would shake. It was like he was made completely out of jello.
Then I caught sight of a girl that looked no older than ten. She was playing with a knife as she waited in line, her round child-like cheeks looked so soft. It looks like any manner of person or creature could be eligible to play this horrible game.
We moved quickly through the line until it was our turn to walk towards the table that had been set up before the shiny metallic black gate.
At the table that was set up to examine people that wanted to enter, two women with angel wings stood to the side of another woman that was sitting at the table. She wore glasses and had a pointy witches hat atop her head, the rest of her body was covered in a detailed purple robe.
Her skin was a dark ebony, she had a timid expression on her face. A few things were spread across the table, a stone, a book, and a scale rested on the wooden table in front of her. The woman with the angel wings had war helms on and had large battle axes. A stern expression rest on their faces, golden hair streamed out of the helms.
Haru walked forward with a small smile on his face and I quickly followed behind him, Callista walked soundlessly by my side. We arrived in front of the woman with the witches hat and timid expression.
”Welcome to the Town of Osiris, is this your first time to the town?” The woman with the witches hat asked us softly. I looked at her closely, but no wedge appeared above her head. Turning my attention back to the warlike angel's a wedge appeared reading [Warborn Valkyrie] it looked like these two were actually monster, or maybe they were NPC.
”I've been here one time before,” a card quickly appeared in his hand as he spoke, he gave it to the witch. She lightly plucked it from his fingers and flipped open her book, before she slides the car onto an empty page.
With a slight glow, the page illuminated after a few second the glow dimmed, and she easily removed the card and handed it back to Haru.
”What about you?” She turns her attention towards me, I finally got a look at her eyes that were covered by the glasses, her eyes were the color of blood and a few lights flashed in her eyes. I averted my eyes quickly.
”This is my first time here,” I replied.
”Very well, please give me your hand,” she says holding a hand out. I step forward and give her my hand, shooting a curious glance at Haru. But he just gives me a smile.
