Elemental Warriors Online

Adventurer's Guild

Cassius wrinkled his nose the moment he stepped past the threshold of the guild. It was hard to differentiate this place from a pub and a hovel for drunks and no do wells than an adventurer's guild. It looked like some sort of dingy medieval inn or bar. Although it was a bit larger than those, it still looked the same.

The smell of cheap alcohol and sweat permeated the air as random groups of men and women were scattered on round tables at both ends of the guild. Some of them looked at him with interest, while others could not be bothered by his existence. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere.

Kabiru and Monkey matched up straight to a counter opposite them. The counter was long as it spanned from one end of the building to another, dividing the guild into two unequal halves.

Right behind the counter was the scariest man he had ever seen, he was seven foot tall if not taller. Ripped and packed with muscles that will make pro wrestlers cry blood with jealousy. The only thing wrong about this whole get up was the long silky blond hair, and the heavy shade of make up this man had on. Cassius felt he was trying to hard.

“Hey Cindy, my friend Cassius here wants to register as an adventurer. He’s a traveler too you know so you have to have to give him that bonus pack and such. Say do you have any fish.” Kabiru asked. Though you would wonder why he was asking for fish.

“He’s a woman!!!” Cassius exclaimed in abject shock

You know that time in your life that you always wished you shut up instead of opening your mouth and saying something that was guaranteed to get you in trouble……this was one of those times.

Cassius was sure his bronze vampire skin was so red, you would not be able to differentiate it from a tomato, which was crazy as that should be naturally impossible.  If Cassius was hardly noticeable when he first came into the guild, well now every eye was on him.

“And what is that supposed to mean traveler. Is there something wrong with my being a woman. Why don’t you say it to my face, since you are an expert in being a Man.” The aforementioned man, now a woman growled out.

“ No,no,no Cindy he did not mean any offense by what he said, he must have meant something else.” Kabiru tried to plead.

Cassius gave a silent sigh of thanks, thanking the Gods of all gamers for the good luck charm that was to him Kabiru Ahmed. If course this firmly proved Cassius's earlier theories that anywhere he went to, as long as the blue hawk owned i***t of luck was there, then everything would be okay. That is until a demonic talking hawk broke that illusion.

“Aye, Cassius did not mean anything by it. Of course he couldn’t have meant that you were so ugly, you did not look like a woman at all. Cassius is not that mean, or could he have meant your body is so bulky and muscled you would put most hot blooded males to shame.

Aye that must be it. Or it could be that your make up is the stuff of nightmares. It reminds me of a story I heard once of a clown that went around killing little kids. Of course put in mind this is what might be going through Cassius's mind right now. Or maybe mmmhmmm…….”

Cassius had finally put a stop to this public sentencing by clamping his hands down on Monkey's stupidly hyperactive and running mouth or is it a beak. Of course by then it was to late. All three of them were subjected to glares and killing intent from all corners of the room.

Cassius felt more than saw the thousands of ways everybody in this guild will beat him to death. He shivered and cowered, it was as if he was five once again and his father had to sing him the Madagascar theme song just to calm him down from the fright of having a boogie man under his bed.

Cassius would have given anything to be able to ‘move it move it’ right now, but he was standing on death’s row. He bowed his head in resignation before dropping to his knees. He vaguely felt Cassius do the same. But before then he had to make a little prayer.

‘Oh sweet goddess of ramen, your servant’s journey has finally come to an end. It’s a good day to die hard and miserable due to that stupid hawk. But I promise if you save me I will worship you by eating ramen non stop for the next one week. After I sacrifice Monkey the blue, stupid, demonic, annoying, frustrating hawk to the glory of your awesome ramen name. Amen'

“ please forgive me its all a misunderstanding.”

Cassius had no other choice but to beg. Even Kabiru had decided to beg with him. Forget pride or the fact that this was a game, Cassius had no intention of being beaten half to death, or even killed. There’s no way in hell he would die because of a flying pet.

“Yes please forgive us, Monkey had no idea what he was saying. He must be sick or under a spell.”

“Aye, please mercy. I have no idea what came over me, I must have eaten some bad fish.”

Bad fish my ass, Cassius swore softly. If they get out of this alive bad fish would be the least of that hawk’s worries. Cassius was going to teach him a lesson in respect, and how to keep his blue beak shut. But then this happened.

“Aww you are so cute Monkey I can’t be angry with you. Come here let mama give you a hug.”

“Yes Monkey is so cute you should. Wait what!.........Ehhhh!!!”

If Cassius's eyes got any bigger he was sure they would pop out of his eye sockets. The man….eh woman Cindy was hugging Monkey so tight to her bountiful chest, which Cassius was actually noticing for the first time. Cassius now understood where all that words from Monkey earlier on came from. It seemed this was not the first time Cindy decided to give Happy a hug.

A hug that Monkey had already passed out from due to lack of air. So that was why Monkey got so carried away with his description. He must have been really angry at how this Cindy had treated him before. Cassius almost felt sorry for him.

He exchanged a look with Cassius, and they both decided then and there to let Monkey face the music. And nope Cassius absolutely did not feel sorry for the avian. Hah! Karma's a b***h , and she hates birds.
