~Lamia Scale, a few months ago~
"Hey Chelia! A beer here, please!" One of the members ordered in the counter.
"Coming!" Chelia replied. She was cleaning a table in their guild. But she tripped over a floor board when going
back to the counter.
"Ow..." Chelia groaned.
"You okay?" An unfamiliar voice asked her, holding out her hand to help her.
Chelia stared. This girl looks very scary. she thought. She must be about 16 years old. Her face was covered with
her black hoodie connected to a black cloak, which matched her black clothes and black leather boots. But she
snapped to her senses and took the hand. "Thanks."
"No problem. Where is your master, by the way?" She asked.
Oh, she's looking for Ooba-sama. Chelia said in her head. Must be a mage and wants to join the guild. "She's at
the back of the building. Just follow that hall and turn left, and you'll find Ooba-sama's office there."
"Thanks." And she took off.
Eyes were following her until she turned to the corner. Sherry asked, "Who's she?"
Chelia shrugged. "Don't know. Her face was covered, but she's looking for Ooba-sama. Maybe she wants to join the
guild." Sherry nodded.
~With Artemis~
"Take that hoodie off first, young lady." Ooba-sama ordered. "Then, we'll see if you can join the guild."
Artemis hesitated.
"Well?" Ooba-sama asked.
Artemis took off her hoodie and showed her face.
"Oh my stars." Ooba-sama commented. "It's you!"
Artemis smiled. "I prefer not to mention my identity to anyone."
"You do know someone will find out soon, don't you?" Ooba-sama asked.
Artemis nodded. "Yes, but I hope no one will before I find my sister."
"Okay, then. Welcome to the guild, Artemis. Ask Chelia for your mark."
Artemis nodded and walked out of the room.
Okay, so can you guess:
1. why Artemis hides her face?
2. how did Ooba-sama know her?
3. who is Artemis's sister?
So, I hope you enjoy this story. :)
