"William Raven, of Fai. Is that correct." The man said. William nodded to the question.
"That is correct." William said, "is there anything else?"
"No, sir." The guard said through the windows. The guard exited the post and lifted the large post (with some help from William) and let him through. William thanked the guard and kept following the road into Veryon.
The city of Veryon was one of the largest in the region. It was a city of peace and unity. There was no restriction on entry. It had no walls or no fences. William always thought that it was a bad choice in case of raids from the Vikings or assassinations from the Samurai. But its standing is proof that everyone who enters the city becomes peaceful. But that doesn't stop the occasional protests within the city because of the diversity. Some of the citizens felt threatened by the Samurai and the Vikings especially.
William walked through the crowded streets to get to the Tyr. Tyr was the Veryon Outpost. It was supposed to house the guardians of the city in case if anything happened. If something bad were to have happened, then Tyr must know about it.
William entered through the small doorway and found himself in the reception. The lady at the desk looked up and smiled.
"Ah, William are you here to see Gharon?" The receptionist asked.
"Yes, I am." William answered, "is he available?"
"Yes." The receptionist said, "should I call him?"
"Please." William told her as he sat down in one of the seat. The metal of his suit scraped the fabric of the seat. He looked down to see some of the cotton. He got up and his face flushed a little.
"I'm sorry about that." He said with a grin.
"Oh, don't worry. Those seats are easily replaced." She said with a smile, "anyway, you can go in."
William thanked her and went down the long hallway. The door had the name of Gharon plastered on the top of the frame. He closed his grip around the knob and opened it.
"Ah, William what brings you here?" Gharon said.
"I have finished my mission and am looking for a new one." William told, "and now I ask what it is."
"Well I have a mission that I need to be done, but you cannot do it alone." Gharon said to William as he rubbed his goatee, "maybe if you could pull together worthy individuals to help you then it could be done."
William nodded, "Very well, sir." William stood and moved to the door.
"And William, make sure they're worthy." Gharon told him.
"Yes, sir." William said and left the room. He said his farewells to the receptionist and entered the streets once again. He pondered of who he was to bring along.
Ava entered the pub and sat at the bar atop a stool. She looked at the bartender and nodded. He nodded back and turned his attention to the shelves filled with glasses and drinks. He returned with a glass and a bottle filled with whisky. She thanked him and turned on her seat to look over the people in the pub. She noticed a Viking in the pub and she hissed at him. She hated Vikings. The reason is because she lost her mother during a raid of theirs. She almost crushed her glass but she controlled her anger.
"Everything alright?" The bartender asked as he was cleaning his glass.
"No, I'm fine." Ava insisted, "why?"
"Oh, no reason." The bartender said after an uncomfortable silence, "except that you nearly broke your glass."
"Sorry, sir." Ava said, "I should take my leave now."
The bartender nodded, "Okay." Ava handed him her glass and walked out the door.
"Otake Keishi, you have done well my servant." The words came from a man with a heavy Japanese accent, just out of sight, "With that peace-speaker out of the way, Apollyon can finally take Feir out from the inside."
Otake pondered the words for a second before nodding. He turned to walk out but was stopped by the voice of the man again.
"And Otake. I hope you have some fun in this time without war." He said event though it sounded more like a command.
And that was part two. I hope to make a section about each of the three main characters in each chapter. I hope this isn't confusing by the way. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
