"Excuse me..." asked Kaneki. "Um... What's your name...?"
"Rook, master." The pawn said.
"Well, Rook, could you take me to this... Encampment?"
"Of course." Rook said. "It's just past this gate."
" Okay... Um...Could you open the gate?" Kaneki said to a nearby guard.
The guard nodded and opened the gate to let Kaneki and Rook pass.
Huh... Kaneki thought. This is just like a video game...
"I'll lead the way, master." said Rook passing through the open gate.
"Could you stop calling me master? It's kind of annoying." Kaneki said.
"What would you like to be called?" asked Rook.
"Kaneki..."
"Damned beasts!" someone shouted from a couple feet away.
Kaneki saw a peddler being attacked by three monsters. The monsters were a sort of red color and the hap weapons in they're hands.
"There, Kaneki, goblins!" said Rook."Fight or flee, the choice is yours."
Kaneki wielded his sword and slashed right through the goblins in one sharp blow.
"Quite a fighter, eh?" said the peddler.
"We have triumphed!" said Rook.
You barely did anything Kaneki thought.
"That was far too close." said the peddler. "I am called Reynard, a salesman, and those beasts ruined my wares... But thanks to you it was only my wares I lost. Here, have this cape, it's the last of my wares. You have my thanks."
"Don't mention it." said Kaneki.
Kaneki put on the cape.
"It's getting dark, Rook, and I'm tired. Is there a place that I may rest?"
"There's the inn back in Casardis..." Rook answered.
"Lead me there, please." said Kaneki.
This will be fun thought Kaneki. Way more fun than what was happening before.
