56 A Couple Days Later (1/2)

Standing back in the plaza, I looked around waiting for the mysterious person that Rina had said would find me, I had the dagger strapped to my waist as I waited. Looking around the place was still abuzz with people and stands, looks like this place really was the place to be for Players.

Wit sat in the chair that Rina had given us, she was looking around with a smile on her face, her cute cherubim cheeks glowing lightly. She'd been just as excited as I was for this, rubbing my neck I brush my necklace.

'Alice! Why don't I get to be out and about too?' Jade's voice whined from the necklace, I kept him like this because it was easier to keep track of and I wouldn't lose him if I had to fight.

Rolling my eyes at his words, I don't respond. Envy had been too much, I'd let him stay out for a bit and between him trying to climb into bed and have his way with me and his violent behavior towards people that got to close to me it was enough to tire me out for a lifetime.

We'd gone out and bought supplies for the game, but I still wasn't sure of all the details surrounding the game.

The card had given a vague amount of information, it listed some of the possible dangers and then a bit about it being a scavenger hunt, for the life of me I didn't know how a scavenger hunt could be deadly. However, I felt like this game was built to eternally torment a person, so I'm sure it was going to be difficult.

Stretching my arms above my head, I was starting to question if her information had been true. Or if they had come already and decided that they didn't want to work with me.

The sound of metal and marching drew my attention, turning towards the noise, I noticed a little bit away from me a group of about ten or so people we're heading towards the plaza. Soon enough they entered through the barrier and walked towards the board, they are pretty close to me.

The silver of their armor caught the rays of the sunlight and glinted with a righteous glare. They reminded me of perfect little status, something about it ticked me off a bit. A feeling at the back of my mind was sneering at them.

A beautiful man appeared, it was like he'd been carved from a stone everything about him was the perfect proportions. All the way from the top of his head down to his toes. There wasn't a hair out of place on his head, it was a warm sunkissed blonde. His eyes reminded me of a clear pond, the striking blue is clean and true.

He wasn't dressed in armor like the other nine that had marched in formation. He had a suit on, and a huge sword strapped to his back, a faint smile played on his lips. There was an air of indifference around him, I watched him for a bit longer.

He inspected the troops in front of him carefully. He muttered a few words to himself that I couldn't make out as he walked around them. When he turned around, I caught sight of a sigil on the giant sword on his back, it was that of a woman with two angel wings, and a magic circle of sorts behind her.

I quickly turned my head away from him, that was the sigil of the Knight's of the Goddess, what the hell were they doing here?

As my brain worked on overdrive to try and figure out just what they are doing here a light tap on my shoulder drew me out of my complex thoughts. I cringed inwardly, turning I was hoping it wasn't the man that I had just been ogling.

Much to my delight, it wasn't him, instead, two young women stood in front of me.

They both look like witches, wearing rather pointy black hats and short black dresses, looking like carbon copies of each other. Silver colored hair streams out from their hats, and some curls around their faces framing their blood red eyes

Lips the color of ruby red blood and crystal white teeth that are pointed poke out from their lips. I spotted a dagger strapped to each of their legs, and a couple tattoo's littering their bodies.
