Anna was waiting for me outside the Palace. She did not say anything as we walked through the clouds. Her face could rival a statue for all of the emotion she put on it. It did not take long for them to once again reach the stairway. As the descended she finally spoke, though her words were far from comforting.
"Lady Janai was merciful with you, but I will not be. If I hear any further bad talking about the guild master the consequences will be much worse than if you had simply fallen from the clouds." Her harsh tone implied her seriousness, but then it was followed by a much gentler tone. "She has given you a great boon. If you will take the time to look at your new class you will understand that you truly have not lost anything."

Cyan smiled as he read his abilities. His combat strength had not rose with his new class, but he truly had become powerful. And he soon found that both Anna as well and Janai were correct. His pack was much better off now, able to be free but still be with him when needed. "Send Lady Janai my apologies she truly did right by my pack. "
Anna nodded "show her your sincerity through your actions. Complete the mission she gave you so that the dungeon is once again able to do business."
Cyan nodded, not taking her eyes off the mouse "what information can you give me about the dungeon?"
"The dungeon is close, only around 5 miles to the east. It is a low level dungeon, perfect for newbies like yourself. It is in the form of a graveyard with the undead appearing there. The boss of the dungeon changes with each entry. As a reincarnated person the easiest way to describe it to you is like a dungeon in a video gam, well in reality the entire world is like a video game if you think about it. Classes, magic, different races." She whistled as she walked. "If I had made a game like this back when I was on earth I would be rich!"
Cyan looked at the mouse in awe. "You're a reincarnater too? How did you end up here?"
The mouse laughed "there are quite a few of us around, most of the servants of her ladyship are. As far as I know you're the first disciple her brother had taken. That makes you unique. That's probably why you were given that apartment, so as to not slight your master.. despite her undoing his work."
"How many dragons are there?"
"I know of 5. Erkai and Janai the twin dragons. They are also the youngest. There older brother Scypher the sea dragon. Volcan the fire dragon, no relation and Bruno the earth dragon, no relation. They are each.. unique. Janai has many disciples aka servants. Volcan only takes those who are talented in fire magic as disciples, and Bruno has not taken a disciple in years, though the brothers he last trained rule a city far to the east. Lady Janai as far as I know is the one who is most directly involved with the going ons of the world"
Their conversation had not taken place all at once. But rather through the several hour journey down the stairs. She left him when they reached the basement. "My apartment is the first one on the right. You can drop by there if you have any questions or have completed your mission." She paused for a moment before pulling out a card that identified him as a senior ranked member of the adventurers guild. "You will need this for the guards and such to identify you, if you lose it just come to me for another one. Good luck I look forward to working with you. "
Anna walked into her apartment, which fro. What he could see was much larger than his own. It was also filled with several things she had collected, making his own look extremely bare. As the door shut behind her he walked down the hall to his own apartment. The door opened before he even got close, and Beka jumped into his arms. "Welcome back babe! Where's your bracelet?"
Cyan smiled "I longer need it. Get ready to go we have a mission to accomplish. Oh do you need a weapon? I don't see one on you?"
She nodded in response "where are we headed? And yes I need a sword. We can stop an get one on the way out. " she shut the door behind her as they exited the building.
It took them around and hour on foot to make it through the city. Back towards the market district. Thankfully they were left alone, Cyans fierce appearance acting as a deterrent to trouble.
They stopped in front of a blacksmiths shop, you could hear the sound of metal being forged, the clanging of metal on metal in the back, but it was obvious that the owners had went through pains to make the sound less obnoxious in the shop. Inside every type of weapon was displayed, but Beka did not take time to look around as she headed straight to a blade that looked like a katana. Its silvery blade indicated there was nothing special about the blade, but beka immediately asked for it, having Cyan take care of the bill.
The entire exchange was done in less than five minutes. They briefly stopped to get some supplies before heading out of town. They were met at the entrance by the same group of thugs that had been left naked in the forest. Their eyes burned with anger as they looked at the couple, but said nothing as they ran into an alley.
Cyan let them go, seeing as how they had so obediently avoided him he would not cause trouble for them unduly. He nodded at the guards as they left the city. Their destination was to the east. And would only take them around an hour to get there. It was already evening, but he felt no need to rest as he was still brimming with energy, inwardly he attributed it to the full moon hanging in the sky.
