824 High Expectations (1/2)
Still, it wasn't some school trip this time. They weren't going to an unknown planet to fight beasts, but instead they were going to a world most humans wouldn't even know existed.
As always, it only took a small moment for them to appear at their destination. When the whole group opened their eyes, they found themselves in a large empty room with four guards seemingly awaiting them.
”Wow, we're actually here! Only… is it just me or does this place look kind of plain?” Nate asked, looking around. He didn't realise it, but some of the guards grimaced at this comment.
”What, did you expect we would arrive directly in the throne room? We're in some sort of landing room, you idiot, of course it would look like every other room.” Sam replied.
Those who had come here for the first time were busily looking around the place, looking for something different, something new… but there was nothing to indicate that they weren't on a human planet, as such they were a little disappointed.
Alex was the only one to notice something 'out of place' which was the outfit from those in front of them.
'That doesn't look to be made out of beast crystals. Does that mean they don't use beast weapons here? It makes me wonder why Quinn asked me to give every person a weapon made from my blood before coming here. It's meant to be effective against these guys, right? I just hope he's not expecting us to fight with those vampires at some point.'
”Those four guys are vampires, right? They look just like us.” Dennis asked in a hushed tone.
”I would assume so.” Linda answered. ”Aren't you a vampire yourself? Why would you think they would look different from you?”
”Our group seems to be filled with the dimwitted and the ones that have only some brain power.” Logan commented as he observed the situation, which silenced the others who had been talking as if they were actually on a field trip.
”I think my own intelligence speaks for itself, Linda has always been quick on the ball, and Sam is someone who I think can even outwit me. Paul is knowledgeable with his experience, Cia, too quiet for me to make an opinion. Wevil I have yet to make an observation about and then there's the rest.”
It had been a while since Quinn had traveled with Logan and he had actually forgotten about his bad habit of speaking his mind not caring about whether his words were considered rude or polite.
”Hey, don't lump me in with these idiots! Do you know how much knowledge it takes to craft a weapon!?” Alex complained.
”Yes, your skills are excellent with the hammer, but can't a trained monkey do the same job?” Logan replied.
”That's it, return everything I made for you, you short twerp!”
”What about Quinn?” Sil asked. ”I didn't hear you mention his name.”
Hearing this, hurt Quinn a little, and he was starting to think if he was a little slow since he hadn't even realised Logan had omitted him.
”Of course. Why would Quinn need those things if he has us?” Logan questioned back.
The group stopped arguing with each other and all started to laugh collectively at Quinn, who now had dropped his head down and sunken his shoulders.
”Don't listen to them, Quinn.” Fex encouraged him with a wink. ”Just wait until they find out what a bigshot you're here as well as in the Human World.”
While waiting in the room, Fex started to explain the basics to everyone. Just certain manners they should abide by and what they were and weren't allowed to do as well as what to look out for. Fex wanted to avoid disrespecting another family leader at all costs since it would cause a lot of trouble for Quinn.
Looking at Kazz, Quinn was wondering how much she knew. All the others had been gathered and Kazz was there, she would have picked up that each of them weren't human with her nose but the one he was worried about the most was Alex.
