Chapter 2 The Hunt
I walked into town. Thankfully, the cloak I wore concealed who I was. I walked around town, looking for something to get me some money. I really didn't have a lot. I thought I might as well go to the tavern. I walked in. I went straight to the bar.
"What will it be stranger?" He asked.
"Nothing. I just want information." I asked.
"What kind of information?"
"I want to know how to make some money in this town. You know of anyone who would hire me? Or any big events happening?"
"Well, I know of a rich noble who wants some bandits taken care of and I know the mayor of the town is looking for some people to go on a hunt for him. They say he is looking for some magic artifacts."
"What kind of magic artifacts?"
"The artifacts that he is looking for are said to be from the Dragon Campaign. They give the holder of the artifact some type of dragon powers."
"Where can I go for more info?"
"Just go to the center square." I thanked him and headed out of the tavern. I walked to the center of the town. There I saw lots of trained fighters. I noticed that they were in a line in front of a booth of some sort. I just got in line and waited my turn. When my turn came, I was standing in front of the booth. The Mayor was there with a sign up sheet and a ribbon too.
"Are you here to sign up sir?" He asked.
"How long do I have to get these artifacts?"
"You have as long as you want or need, but you won't get the prize till I have them."
"How much is the pay?"
"$100,000,000." DAMN! That is a lot of money for just some artifact.
"How many artifacts am I to find?"
"You are to find 7 of them."
"How would I know if it is what I am looking for? I have no idea what these artifacts look like."
"You will know if you fond it."
"I see. All right, I'm in. Where do I sign up?" He handed me a pencil and the sign up sheet. Using the fake name Alberto Fireblade, I signed it.
"Ok Mr. Fireblade. Here is you ribbon." He handed me a red ribbon.
"What is the ribbon for?"
"The ribbons symbolize the people I hire to get the artifacts." I nodded and started to walk away.
'What did the bar tender say about that noble?' I thought to myself as I headed out of town, the ribbon under my cloak.
'I should head to the town where that noble is. I could make some money if I can take out those bandits.' With that thought in mind, I started out of town and walked toward the horizon.
