Hello guys!

I'm so but this isn't my best chapter, making friends by bumping into them is a bit cliché.

Next saturday, I'm on a vacation for 2 weeks until 4th august, I can't post but I will continue writing from my location.

Enjoy reading!

"Wow, it's really busy, sure we won't be discovered? I asked.

We walked through a big crowd of people, standing on the terminal of the train station.

"Of course! We just look like all the other people here, and you are still normal because you aren't the Royal Protector of Dunwall yet. Trust me."

It's wasn't my first time being in public, but it was sure exciting, now I played a big role for Dunwall. Well, not yet.

"Look, street artists." Flynn pointed to a few people playing instruments and singing songs.

I directly recognized that song. "Hey, there singing a song from Hello Dolly, that musical."

"How did you know that? That musical is from an eternity ago?"

A blush appeared on my face. "My neighbors were old people, every night they played songs from old musicals and movies."

"I wished I had neighbors." Flynn said sadly.

"Poor boy, come on, let's go. We have whole city to discover."

Walking down the busy streets, I collided with a girl and I fell.

"Oh sorry! That wasn't my intention." The girl fastly said. "I was busy calling."

She reached out her hand. "Let me help you."

It was a friendly girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, there was a small gap between her teeth. She was wearing a pair of jeans with a brown coat and black sneakers.

"Thank you, sorry for bumping in to you." I laughed. "The streets are so busy, I couldn't see anything."

She smiled. "No problem."

This time, is was the one reaching out my hand. "Uhm.. sorry for what happened. I'm Allifar, and this is Flynn."

"Hi." Flynn said.

"What is your name?" I asked with a white smile.'

"No, I am the one to say sorry, I am Marcya." The girl said, with a similar smile. "Nice to meet you two."

"Are you busy? Because you can walk with us if you want?"

She thought for a moment. "Sounds amazing."

We continued our path. I was out of words.

"So, Marcya, how old are you?" Flynn asked.

"I'm 18."

I almost dropped my jaw. She looked a lot younger.

"Interesting." Flynn said giving me a poke with his elbow.

"Stop it!" I whispered.

"So, what do you want to do?" I asked to the two who were walking with me.

"I know a great place. We can drink something together."

Flynn declined. "I won't go, I still have something to clear with an old friend." He said pointing at a young man.

I pulled him closer to me. "Whatareyoudoing?!"

"Trust me, you can call me if you are done."

I sighed. "Alright then."

"Okay, we can do that! Flynn, I will see you later."

We waved to Flynn and left.

"Nice place isn't it?"

I looked with amazement. "Yeah it really is!"

It was a pub facing a giant statue of Empress Jessamine, with Wrenhaven River close behind it. We took place.

"What do the ladies want to drink."

Marcya ordered a cup of tea.

"And this lovely lady?" The server asked me. Making me blush a bit.

"Can I get a coffee. I really need it after my night duty." I directly regretted my words.

The server nodded. "I will bring it in a few minutes."

"Night duty? What's your job?" Marcya asked with a curious expression on her face.

"Oh gosh, need something to say, museum? No, firefighter? No, ah!"

"I work at the City Watch." I lied.

"It's not fully a lie? I mean, when I'm a fully trained bodyguard, I still have to protect the citizens of Dunwall?"

"Wow, that's exciting! My brother also does." Marcya said excited.

I doubted but said it. "Can I get your phone number?"

"Of course! I wanted to ask the same thing later, give me your phone."

"Wait, if I give me her phone she can discover my contacts. That would be bad I guess. I can trust her. I have to."

I gave her my phone. "Here."

"Wow, a pretty new exemplar. Believe me, I know it. I work at the electronic shop."

I was standing behind her when you was scrolling through my contact. Unfortunately, she discovered.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Always?" I responded.

"Why do you have the phone number of Empress Emily Kaldwin?"

"Sorry Marcya, I will tell you that later, not now. It's a long story."

She tapped 'New contact' on the touchscreen, I was reading over her shoulder while she typed.

'Marcya Whinchester' I read, with her phone number under the name.

"Listen, Marcya, I'm gonna tell you a story but you can't tell anyone. Alright?"

"Sure." She knew it was serious.

I told her the story I told before many times to people.

"And now, I live at Dunwall Tower with Flynn and other people, including the Empress, and I train every day with my powers and weapon to become a worthy Royal Protector."

"Amazing!" She yelled.

"Swear to me you won't tell anybody." I said deadly serious.

"Pinky promise?"

She reached her hand and we crossed our little fingers.

"I swear." She said. Making me smile. "You know." She said. "I know a few people who love to meet you and want to become friends with you."

"Sounds exciting." I smirked. "But tell me something about you as a person, who am I talking to?"

"Well, as you can see, my name is Marcya Whinchester. I'm 18, I work at the electronics shop here downtown Dunwall, I live at the Mutcherhaven District, close to the closed 'Brigmore Mansion.' In my childhood my parents always wanted me to make me perfect. They wanted me to take piano or violin classes, but I teased local guards and I stole fruit from the Boyle Estate garden, a few street farther. But they never accepted me as a person and tried to change me. Until I was fifteen and moved to a flat not so far from here. I was finally freed from those people."

"I'm happy you've found your destiny." I smiled.

"Thank you."

We talked for another 30 minutes until we reached our meeting point where I saw Flynn standing.

We said goodbye and Flynn and I continued our journey through the city.

"And, how did your date with that girl goes?"Flynn asked after a while.

"Marcya Whinchester, a 18-year-old girl who always wanted to be a normal person, but her parents wanted her to change."

"Sounds like a good girl to become your friend."

I had to agree with Flynn, she was kind and had a similar personality.

"What did you told her about yourself?"

"Well, first I lied, I said I worked at the City watch. Then when she scrolled through my phone numbers, she found Emily between my contacts, making her suspicious. I told her the truth and told her to say it to no one without my permission."

"You did a good job telling it, means you trust her." Flynn complimented. "And besides, next month you will be announced as the new Royal Protector. Every citizen will know your name then. It isn't a sin to tell the people you trust earlier."

"I didn't thought of it like that." I admitted.

After an hour of walking through the streets some thought shot through me.

"Isn't it time to go back? It's already getting late. You wanted to train, right?" I asked.

"First we can take a drink at my favorite club."

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him. "There is a horse we can borrow."
