sorry this took so long to come out i had a lot of distractions.
Chapter 10
Levy had opened her eyes to see that they had arrived at their destination of Accra the sea town. The train was coming to a stop as Levy looked out the window to see the harbor. As her, Jet, and Droy stepped out of the train Levy got a better look at the harbor. The sun had just risen and the morning air mixed with the sea's gentle breeze brought Levy overwhelming bliss.
She looked to the harbor, It was flowing with ship's, and she could smell the sea a mixture of seaweed and salt. As they walked off the train platform Seagulls could be seen flying around and making their usual call. Levy had only been by the sea a couple of times, but she had to admit this town was beautiful.
As her and her 2 teammates walked down the street she could smell all the fresh foods that were around her. Bread was being baked, and the warm aroma was mouthwatering especially since Levy had yet to eat anything since last night.
Jet and Droy were half asleep as they walked they had been so excited about coming here that they stayed up through the 4 hour train ride. Levy giggled "Come on guys we need to make a good first impression with our employer.".
They both looked up and yawned "Alright fine i'm up" said Jet. Droy had huge bags under his eyes and managed to squeeze out an "Alright".
Levy had an upbeat attitude "Alright good now our employer house is on Canal street in the middle section of town.". She led her two almost passed out team mates into the center of town, she didn't exactly know her way around so she had to ask a local.
She went up to a man wearing fisherman gear heading to the harbor "Excuse me can you tell me how to get to 361 Canal street?". The townsman looked at the girl with wide eyes "Oh thats the mansion that Lord Jai's is the owner of its just down this street you'll see it".
Levy looked impressed "A mansion that sounds like fun, doesn't it guys?" Levy looked over her shoulder and noticed Jet and Droy sleeping on each other. "Come on guys wake up" she turned to the fisherman "Sorry about them,thank you so much for your help".
The fisherman gave Levy a bright smile "You're welcome little lady" he then proceeded to walk down to the harbor.
Levy turned around and tried to wake Jet and Droy "Come on guys you can sleep when we get there.". When they didn't stir she wrote in the air "Solid script water" two huge buckets of water fell onto the two mages. They quickly awoke in a daze "What?When" they both said.
Levy rushed the two "Come on guys we need to go to the job lets go". They both saluted Levy "Yes ma'am" Levy shook her head. "Let's go we have to meet our employer" Levy lead the way in the direction the fisherman had directed her.
After a few minutes of walking they finally reached their destination. Shadow Gear all gawked at the huge mansion that seemed like it went on forever. Jet expressed his amazement first "Damn who lives here?"
The doors to the house were massive it would take 3 men to open the door Levy thought to herself. Just then a single man came out of the large ivory doors. He had jet black hair that went down to his shoulders, he was wearing a gray cloak, and black trousers.
The man walked out to greet the three "Ahh you must be the mages i asked for" he paused and looked at Levy with his charming green eyes "And who might you be?". Levy blushed and responded with a voice cracked "uhh..my name is Levy, Levy Mcgarden".
The man responded with a sweet "What a beautiful name for a beautiful women". Levy was blushing no one had ever called her a women before. This was a new feeling to be called what she thought she was and hoped people looked at her as.
Jet coughed interrupting the moment between the two "My name is Jet and this is Droy were the bodyguards". The man looked up to Jet "Ahh yes you guys will do nicely" the man put on a warm smile. Levy interrupted "I'm sorry but i don't think we caught your name" the man turned his attention back to Levy.
"Oh how rude of me my name is Lord Dazbolt Jai's heir to the Jai's family" he pointed to his castle "And this is my home please do come in.". He proceeded to lead the way into his house. As soon as Shadow Gear walked through the double doors They were amazed. The inside was just as expansive as the outside had been.
The floors were covered in the most beautiful silk rugs, the walls were adorned with the most fascinating art Levy had ever seen. Suits of armor were at every corner of the room furniture adorned the empty spaces. If the couches looked as soft as they looked Levy was going to be sleeping out here.
Dazbolt turned to the mages "Sorry i didn't have any time to clean up the place". Levy looked over to Droy and she could have sweared that he was drooling. Dazblot then led them to the next room over to a dining room that had 25 chairs that accompanied a wood table. "This table was crafted in The Dark woods its over 200 years old made out of solid Mahogany, all one piece.".
The blacked haired man then led them into the living room. There was many couches and chairs surrounding a gold lined wooden table that shined like it was brand new. "Please sit down my butler will be getting you drinks, so make yourselfs at home." They did just that Jet was the first to speak "Okay so what are the parameters of the mission?".
The man laughed "You guys waste no time, yes i will be telling you about your mission today". The butler came and asked everyone what they would like to drink "Ladies first said the butler".
Levy smiled at the man "um yes ill have some lemonade if thats not to much to ask". The butler bowed and turned to Jet and Droy "And for you to gentlemen". The two ordered beer and the butler turned to Dazbolt "And for you master". Dazbolt shook his head "The usual ,thank you frank that will be all".
The butler then went to go fetch the drinks,and the 4 were left to discuss. "So Levy are you the translator?" said Dazbolt. Levy shook her head "Yes I am the translator i know over 120 ancient languages". He looked at Levy with wide eyes "My my such a beautiful girl and you already have mastered that many languages".
Levy turned red she laughed awkwardly "Haha ya that's me". Jet interrupted "Yes and we will be guarding her from anyone who may seek to harm her". Dazbolt turned amused "Yes you certainly are, you men will be guarding the perimeter. Levy will be deciphering the text".
Jet looked displeased with the decision "Well since were only patrolling how much are we getting paid for this?". Levy turned to Jet shocked "Jet? you can say things so bluntly like that".
Jet apologized "Sorry i was only curious".
Dazbolt grinned "Don't you worry about the pay it will be handsome assuming the job gets done correctly". Jet nodded, and Levy looked to see the butler walk in.
The butler arrived back with the drinks and handed them to everyone. With glasses full Dazbolt stood up, and raised his glass "A toast to the completion of the job". Everyone raised their drinks, and drank.
Levy couldn't help but ask "What is it exactly that i'm translating?"
Dazbolt put on an evil smile "My lifes work".
