Chapter 231 - Chapter 231 The Eternal Flame Guild

As they all sat and relaxed at the inn Mira glanced at Thomas who was reading and asked "Do you have any plans tomorrow?" Thomas stared at her and asked "Why?" Mira stared at him and said "I overheard Lily and Mary talking about going to visit some of the nearby shops, I thought that you might want to as well." Mary and Lily stared at Thomas and asked "Do you wanna come with us?" Thomas glanced at the pile of books sitting beside him and said "Sure I'll go." Lily and Mary both smiled as they said "We heard that there's some famous shops that did business with the heroes around here, we plan to visit some of them." As someone knocked on the door Thomas glanced at it and mumbled "I didn't draw any unwanted attention did I?" Thomas walked over to the door and said "I'll get it." As he opened the door he seen Sarah standing there. Sarah smiled and said "It is you, I thought the demi human that beast man sounded familiar." Thomas closed the door and said "Nope not dealing with this." Lily glanced at Thomas and said "You should at least hear her out." Thomas sighed and opened the door as he said "Fine make it quick, why are you here?" Sarah nodded and said "Yes I am quite far away from Pria however that is because I have decided to try my hand here and have left the Rising Legion Guild in hopes of finding new comrades here." Thomas walked back over toward the piles of books and said "Just get to the point." Sarah walked in and shut the door behind her as she said "I would like to start my own guild here, I know it won't be easy but I would like to try." Thomas glanced at her and asked "And what does this have to do with us?" Sarah stared at Thomas and said "I would like you to join and act as a way to draw in more members." Thomas stared at her and asked "Why would I be your mascot?" Sarah pointed to him and said "Look it's simple, just join me and pull that sword from the ground." Thomas stared at Sarah and said "Joining guilds is out of the question for me, I already know that if I join your gonna run me around a lot and expect me to keep some sort of quota, so I pass." Sarah shook her head and said "Wrong I only need you to be apart of the guild and occasionally show up and make appearances, you can leave the rest to me." As Sarah opened the door and prepared to leave she said "Please think it over." Lily stared at Thomas and asked "Why don't you?" Sarah glanced at Thomas and waited patiently by the door for an answer as Thomas mumbled "But I really don't want to." Thomas stared at Sarah and said "Fine, I'll register with your guild and pull the sword out again but don't expect me to participate in all of that guild stuff." Sarah smiled and said "I'll meet you at the capital tomorrow morning, don't be late." Once she was gone Thomas sighed and said "Just great, now I'm a part of this." Lily stared at Thomas and said "I bet the guild is gonna become super popular!" Thomas laid down and mumbled "Now I have to get up early." Mira grinned and said "I'm sure it's not all bad, you'll become pretty well known when you pull it." Thomas glanced at her and said "Maybe you haven't noticed but I've been trying to avoid that." Mary stared at Thomas and said "But it will be super cool to be known by everyone!" Thomas stared at her and mumbled "Well maybe to you." As morning came Thomas woke up and walked over to the door as he mumbled "I have to go meet up with Sarah." As he opened the door Sarah was standing there waiting for him. Thomas stared at her and asked "Am I late?" Sarah shook her head and said "No, I just figured I'd meet you here." Sarah began to walk away as she said "Come on, we should go now so we have time to gather a crowd later." Thomas held his head and mumbled "Why so early." As they walked to the capital Thomas glanced at Sarah and asked "Do you have any members yet?" Sarah shook her head and said "Well, I actually haven't started the guild yet." Thomas stared at her and asked "Then why in the hell did you want me to wake up so early?" As they entered a building Sarah said "Thats because the guild will get more recognition if you form it and pull the sword." Sarah stared at Thomas and said "Don't worry about anything else you just have to found it and I'll take care of everything else." As they reached the counter a lady stared at Thomas and Sarah as she asked "How may I help you?" Sarah stared at the lady and said "My friend here would like to start a guild." The lady stared at Thomas and said "I've never heard of a demi human forming a guild before." Thomas glanced at Sarah and said "This is part of the reason I didn't want any part in this." The lady pulled out a sheet of paper and said "You'll need to pay a gold coin for the fee of starting a guild and write the name of the guild here." Sarah handed the lady a gold coin and asked Thomas "What are you gonna name the guild?" Thomas stared at Sarah and asked "Why do I have to name it." Sarah stared at him and said "Come on its the least you can do, just come up with a name." Thomas stared at the paper and said "Fine, let's go with something like The Eternal Flame or something." Sarah nodded and said "Yeah that name sounds nice, let's go with it." Sarah handed Thomas a quill with ink on it and said "Write that name on the line and then sign it at the bottom with your own name." Thomas took the quill and began to sign it as he mumbled "The name I choose is so cheesy." The lady took the paper and said "Now that you've signed this document you are now the official owner of The Eternal Flame guild." Sarah nodded and said "Good, now I would like to sign up and join the guild." The lady handed Sarah a paper and said "Once you sign this with his permission you will become part of his guild." Sarah glanced at Thomas and asked "May I join your guild?" Thomas stared at her and said "Just write your name on the damn paper so I can leave." Sarah nodded and said "Of course." After she wrote her name the lady congratulated her and said "You are now officially part of The Eternal Flame guild, may you have many adventures." Sarah glanced at Thomas and said "Now we can go to the sword." Thomas nodded and said "Yeah and then I can go back to the inn and go shopping with the others." Sarah stared at Thomas and said "When you go shopping wear that sword, people will ask around about you, and then word will spread about the guild your in." Thomas sighed and said "Fine I'll wear the sword around a bit." As they arrived at the sword Thomas looked around and asked "What's up with the crowd, these people weren't here yesterday." Sarah nodded and said "That's because I spread rumors of a powerful warrior who will pull the sword today." Thomas watched as a few people attempted to pull as he smirked and said "They won't be able to pull it unless they can control there mana to the point of removing it from their arms." Thomas walked over to the sword and said "Well let's just get this over with." Thomas stood behind a very muscular man who towered above Thomas as he grabbed the sword and said "The rest of you can go home, I got this." After around a minute of pulling the sword the man glanced at Thomas and said "If I can't do it there's no way in hell you can, you might as well just head home." Thomas walked past him with his hands in his pockets as he mumbled "This is gonna be annoying." Thomas grabbed the sword with one of his hands and said "And up it goes." As he held the sword above his head the people all began to cheer loudly as they shouted "Someone actually managed to pull the sword!" Thomas put the sword in his sheath and glanced at the man as he said "Sorry I have to go shopping with some friends now see ya later." As he walked away the man stared at Thomas shocked as he shouted "What the hell."
