Chapter 205 - Chapter 205 A God’s Call

As Thomas walked into the inn the girl who's family he saved approached him and said "I haven't seen you in a while." Thomas stared at her and said "Just got a bit held up with some other things." As Thomas sat down she said "I'm sure I can repay you if you'd just name something." Thomas laid his head down on the table with his arms out in front of him as he glanced at her and said "Don't worry about it." As she sat down in front of him she said "You don't have to be so stubborn I want to pay you back." Thomas glanced at her and said "I was gonna end up fighting them eventually." She pointed at him and said "Stop talking unless your gonna give me an answer." Thomas glanced around the inn and mumbled "Guess I'll just name something stupid." Thomas glanced at her and said "Alright I've decided." As he stared at her she began to blush as she nervously asked "What have you decided." Thomas put his face down on the table and said "I'll take something to drink." She paused for a moment and said "For a second I thought you were gonna ask for something more." Thomas glanced at her and said "I don't know what you had in mind but something tells me I picked the farthest thing from it." The girl stood up and blushed as she said "Let's just ignore what I was thinking about." As she walked off Thomas yawned and mumbled "The ship will be done pretty soon." Once she came back with a drink she set it on the table beside him and said "You know you could've asked for something a little more special, you know?" Thomas glanced at the drink and said "Don't feel like it." As Alexander put his hand on her shoulder and scared her he asked "Hey captain is she causing problems for you?" Thomas glanced at Alexander and said "Nope, none." As Alexander took his hand off of her shoulder she glanced at him and asked "Who are you?" As Thomas took a sip of his drink Alexander smiled and said "I'm part of this great pirate king's crew." The girl stared at Thomas and asked "Is he serious?" Thomas set the cup down and said "Great is a bit of a long shot." She sat down beside Thomas and asked "Is that why you were able to take down this towns strongest and most feared guild?" As Alexander handed Thomas a book he said "Before I forget you should take this." As Thomas grabbed the book he set it down in front of him and said "Going head to head with the guild wasn't my intention, it just happened." Alexander pointed to the book and said "I should probably mention that the book was worth a gold coin." Thomas glanced at the book and mumbled "What kinda overpriced book is this." The girl stared at Thomas and asked "Can you show me some of the spells." Thomas glanced at her and mumbled "But I don't wanna use any of my mana." Alexander stared at Thomas and said "This could be a good chance to show the town your power." Thomas glanced at Alexander and said "Fine, but just a quick spell." The girl stood up and bowed as she said "I thank you for this opportunity." Thomas stared at her and said "You don't have to be so formal." The girl stared at him and asked "What do you mean." Thomas pointed at her and said "We both have names so why not try using them." The girl stared at Thomas and nodded as she said "Alright then my name is Emma." Thomas stood up and began to walk away as he said "Well you already know my name but repeating it won't hurt, so just call me Thomas." As he stood outside Alexander and Emma walked out and asked "Are you doing it right now?" Thomas glanced at them and said "I'd prefer to get it done with and out of the way now." Emma glanced back at the inn and said "My shift ends in two minutes just me a second." As she went back in Alexander stared at Thomas and asked "Did you decide what spell you want to use?" Thomas opened the book and said "I'll just pick one at random." Thomas stopped on a page and said "I'll do this one." As Emma walked back out she glanced at Thomas and said "I'm ready to go now." As they walked out of the town Thomas continued to read the book as he yawned and said "We should be far enough now." As the book vanished from his hand he said "I should be able to skip the chant but it'll cost more mana." Thomas glanced at them and said "You should stand back a bit, I don't know if these are gonna be destructive or not, the book doesn't exactly explain what they do." Thomas raised his hand and shouted "A god's call!" Thomas glanced back at the book and mumbled "Wait did I screw something up?" As Thomas felt someone tap his shoulder he said "Give me a minute I don't think I did the spell right." The person snatched the book and said "The spell worked." Thomas glanced at her and said "Emera?" Emera smiled and said "You summoned me, what do you need." Thomas stared at her and asked "Do you mean this book summons you?" Emera nodded and smiled as she said "I see you haven't forgotten me!" Emera poked the area where he had lost the eye and said "Honestly I'd be surprised if you forgot." Thomas pushed her hand away and said "Yeah yeah very funny." Emma stared at them and asked "Is that the goddess of love?" Emera glanced at Emma and said "Looks like someone isn't as ignorant as some others I know." Emera pushes Thomas with her elbow and said "Well come on and introduce me." Thomas glanced at her and said "Introduce your damn self." Emera swung at Thomas and shouted "Shut it." Thomas avoided the punch and said "To hell with that." Alexander stared at Thomas and said "You two seem to get along well." Thomas stared at him and said "If that's what it looks like to you then your more blind then me." Emera glanced at Alexander and smiled as she said "That's right he probably hasn't told you but I was the one who took his eye." Emma glanced at Thomas and asked "Is that true." Thomas held his eye and said "She can say she took it, but we actually had a deal, and don't regret losing it either." Emera stared at Thomas and said "Oh that's right I forgot to ask, how is she doing." Thomas took a step back and said "If your referring to Scarlett she's fine, and it would be great if you stayed as far away as possible." Emera glanced at Thomas and said "Don't give me that cold reaction, I already agreed not to harm her." Thomas let out a sigh of relief and said "Well that's good I guess." Emera walked towards Thomas and put her arm around his shoulder as she said "Now that that's settled we should go somewhere and have a drink, your treat." Thomas glanced at her and said "That's probably the one thing I can agree on with you." Alexander leaned over and whispered to Emma "Who would've guess he knew gods." As Emera began to drag Thomas along she said "Come on there should be a good one in town, I seen you visit it a while ago." Emera glanced at him and said "You know what never mind you broke the counter in that place." Thomas glanced at Emera and said "You know you don't have to spy on me." Emera smiled and said "I'm a god of love, and with the amount of girls you hangout with how could I not get interested from time to time." As they entered a bar and got some drinks Emera glanced at Thomas and excitedly said "I've never been to a bar run by mortals before." As they began to drink Alexander and Emma sat there quietly listening to them talk. Emera set a cup down and said "This is pretty good stuff." As she glanced at Thomas she said "I have a question to ask you." Thomas glanced at her and said "What?" Emera stared at Thomas and said "I've been watching you for a while, but you don't seem to have any real goal, what are you trying to do?" As Thomas picked another cup up he smiled and said "Well that's an easy question, I actually don't have any goals." Emera began to laugh as she said "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, what type of mortal doesn't have goals." As Thomas drank another he set the cup down and said "Well I suppose I do have one goal." Emera stared at Thomas and said "I knew it, now tell me what is it?" Thomas glanced at her and said "I suppose my goal is to keep them safe." As he began to take another sip he heard Emma say "That's pretty sweet." Emera stared at his injured eye and said "That's not all, he also has the conviction to go through with it."
