What have I gotten myself into now?

In a city full of sand was a boy. He appeared to be fifteen years of age, and was rather slim. His long dark brown hair barely covered his dark brown eyes, stopping before it reached the tip of his nose. Judging by his light skin color, he was Caucasian, and probably hadn't been in the desert that long.

Where could I be?

All around him were people talking about things such as; clans, monsters, and laws. They weren't all human though. He saw what looked like a stuffed animal, a lizard, a human with rabbit ears, and many more unknown races.

The boy walked into a building to find a place full off chattering. He found a man who appeared to be a bartender.

"Excuse me, where are we?" the boy asked.

The bartender looked at the boy confused.

"How could you not know where we are? We are in Ivalice!"

"Sorry, I'm new around here."

Ivalice? That's the name of the town I was in before…

"Ah, a new comer." The bartender said. "Well then let me introduce you to everyone. What's your name?"

"Drake Leradine." The boy replied

"Hey everyone I'd like you to meet Drake over here! He just came to Ivalice today."

The crowd of people around greeted him.

"So bartender, what do you do around here?" Drake asked curiously

"Well, I just serve as the Pub Master I guess… But for a fella' like you, I'd recommend you join a clan."

"How do I join a clan?"

"Well ya gotta ask a clan leader if you can join, but there's not a lot of clans with opening now adays, but I would recommend that you find the leader of Clan Omega. I'm pretty sure they have an opening, considering there a new clan."

"Clan Omega, got it."

Drake thanked the Pub Master and went to search for Clan Omega's leader.
