Waking up and getting dressed I happily made my way down knowing that everything at home is going great.
"Morning Emilia!" Helen greeted me.
"Morning! Everyone" I greeted everyone noticing I always seem to be the last one out.
"Wearing the robe again?.." Jay asked.
"Hell yeah! You don't understand how much I've wanted to wear wizard robes!" I replied to his comment on my dress sense.
"Robes aren't worn where you come from?.." Daisy asked as we made our way for breakfast.
"Nope.... we just wear ordinary clothes.... like coats, T shirts, Trousers and stuff.." I answered her.
"No armours?.." She asked looking confused at me.
"Yeah….why not at least wear leather armour..." Grace added.
"Nope none... not really a need for it...." I replied.
"But what if you get into a fight?..." Helen asked looking slightly worried.
"..... What you mean?.." I asked looking confused back at them.
"You know.... when you anger someone they pull a weapon on you... so armour should be worn...." Grace explained.
"Ohhhh weapons are prohibited in public where I come from..." I replied.
"But But... how do you defend yourself?..." Grace asked thoroughly confused.
"There's police to deal with disputes....." I answered.
"But what if a giant attacks you? Or wyverns…. Or goblins….??..." She asked.
".... We don't have monsters where we come from.... maybe animals like lions and tigers... but they aren't in cities." I answered her.
"No monsters at all?.." grace asked.
"None.... zero..." i answered.
"... That must be so weird...." She replied.
"..... It's normal..." I smiled back.
".... Okay..." she replied taking a seat for breakfast.
"So... What should we do today..." Jay asked.
"Yeah... either we go to the Hunters guild to see if there are any bounties we can handle.... Or we go to the notice board and see if there is anything the city needs help with." Daisy asked.
"Well whatever we decide... Me and Grace Needs to head back and collect our weapons." They replied while eating their food.
"I think we should start with the notice board.... probably do some menial work...." Jay suggested.
"I want to do something exciting!" I said my childhood fantasies getting the better of me.
"Hunters guild it is..." Daisy replied with a giant smile.
"I don't think that's a great idea..." Jay commented.
"You're always too cautious.... where is your sense of adventure?!" Daisy replied.
"Last time we had a mini adventure… we got blasted but a protection rune…" He commented.
"Ahh everything turned out fine!" she smile disregarding his statement.
"I'm sure we can have an exciting adventure without risking our lives." Grace added.
"Well... I guess three votes beats one..." Jay begrudgingly agreed.
Finishing up our breakfast we and made our way back to the dorm rooms waiting outside for Grace and Helen to retrieve their weapons.
"Is it me or its getting slightly colder?.." I asked.
"Yeah Its late summer soon... it will be early Autumn soon... so its gonna get slightly colder and more windy..." Daisy answered.
"I see....." I replied.
Jay remained silent reading his spell book, "What you looking at Jay?..." I asked.
"Ahhh just spells I want to remember." He answered me.
"Ohhh I see....." I replied.
"Sorry for the wait good to go now!" Grace and Helen said quickly making their way back, both of them not dressed with a beautifully ornate leather vests embedded with patterns all along the edges fastened with three buckles along one side over their shirts.
"Let's go!" Daisy yelled loudly leading the way barely able to contain her excitement.
Making to our way to the world tree, there was a huge crowd standing around a small kiosk with the occasional flashes of blue lights. "I guess we need to go there..." Jay said closing his spell book and placing them in his robe.
Slowly we made our way closer to the kiosk. "Hey! Where would you like to go?!" A female student at the kiosk asked us as we arrived at the kiosk.
"Tripola please!" Helen asked.
"Okay sure…. how many of you and what year?..." She asked us.
Turning around counting us to make sure, "Five please! Year one." she answered her.
"Okay ...." She answered Helen and quickly took out a dashboard flipping through some sheets, "Tripola is safe right now so it'll be fine..... Keep these trackers on at all time!" she said to use handing us five bands of leather.
"Sure thank you!" Helen answered.
The student at the kiosk typed something on a computer causing a blue portal to suddenly open, "Please step through." She said.
"Thank you!" Helen replied with a giant smile and walked through the portal the rest of us following her also thanking the student.
"Take care." she replied to us watching us depart.
Arriving back at Tipola, it looked as if repairs to the city was still underway form the Wyvern attack. Several buildings still having scaffolding set up and noticeable damage still on some structures. The town still busy as ever with several different races and animals all living and walking in unison.
"So Hunters guild right?.." Daisy asked.
"Yeah... but I still think it's a bad idea.." Jay answered her.
"Stop being so pessimistic!" Helen replied to his comment.
"This way then!" Daisy said leading the way.
"Umm do you guys think we need anything?.." I asked. As we passed what seemed to be the market district noticing a huge abundance of people crowding around open stalls and shop fronts.
"Lets see what bounty we accept first before we buy supplies." Grace answered.
"Ahhh okay..." I replied sill looking around in wonder and awe.
Eventually we arrived what seemed to be a business district, the shops here being noticeably larger than those in the market with zero stalls but there were far less people. Larger premium real estate looing extremely clean and extravagant, with the occasional carriages carrying individuals to certain shops.
One wide gentleman stepped out the carriage wearing extremely wealthy looking clothing adorned head to toe in golden jewellery, walking into a shop front being welcomed by two very beautiful young women dressed in very revealing clothing flaunting their hourglass figure. They welcomed him wrapping one arm around each of his sides giving his butt a squeeze and kissing him on his neck entering the building with giant smiles and giggles.
"That's called the house of Lady Favours....." Grace said noticing me watch them.
"Lady favours?.." I asked turning to her looking puzzled.
"Yeah.... Gentleman go there to ask Ladies for Favours in exchange for money...." She chuckled.
"OHHHHHH I see!!!..." Instantly looking disgusted at the building as we passed it.
Further on another building caught my eye, the interior lit up with a very mystic looking glow, the shop having various potions of all sorts of colours on display as well as weapons and armour. The shop keeper looking very busy counting stock wearing what I would consider a very standard wizard outfit wearing a pointy wide brimmed hat and a long blue and golden robe.
"This is a magic shops right?.." I asked the group after we walked past it.
"Yup that's a shop that specialises on magical weapons armour and potions." Jay answered me.
"Magic weapons and armours?.." I asked slightly confused.
"Some armours are magically enchanted to be sturdier..... Resistant to types of damage.... and for weapons they could be enchanted with special magical properties..." Helen explained.
"Ohhh i see." I nodded understanding.
"Ohhh we've finally arrived!" Daisy yelled in excitement pointing at a large wooden building in front of us.
"It looks like an ordinary building...." I said looking at the building Daisy pointed at.
"Trust me it's this one!" I she replied to me question.
Arriving at the entrance Daisy pushed the large double doors open revealing a very busy tavern or bar, filled with many people and parties. "Lets get a table!" Daisy said as we entered.
The people here are defiantly more diverse then in the market somehow there were more races here. There were Humans that stood only half or a third the height of a normal human, humans, elves, Tiefaeni but oddly red in colour and not blue..... Two Dragonborns and one beautiful young woman who was at least 6ft tall with pearlescent white hair.
"EMILIA!!!" A familiar female voice shouted out to me over the ambient noise of the tavern.
