Chapter 2 - The loot house

By the time we arrived at the slums it was only a few hours intel the sun set and I noticed that there are a lot more Beast people then in the city. "So should we start asking around for where the auction house is or do you have a better idea?" I asked since it seemed that the people around here didn't look like they would willingly give up information. I also noticed some of them seemed like they where planing to rob us. "Yeah, just give me one minute." Satella said as she moved a bit away from me. She then began to whisper something under her breath as blue lights appeared around her. 'Well that is something I haven't seen before' I thought as I looked at her. After a few minutes the blue lights began to fade away as she sighed and said "ok so the place that we are going to is a place called the loot house which is where we will find that blond girl."

"Ok but how are we going to get what she stole back, i mean I doubt she will just hand it over to you?" I replied with a skeptical face even though it was covered by my helmet. "We can work that when we get there but first we should move. She said before walking further into the slums with me quickly following behind her. After a bit we arrived in front of a large building on the outer edge of the slum and inside we could hear people talking. One Of the voices sounded rough and old, not to far from how Andre sounded. Then there where two other voices one that sounded like a child's voices and another that can only be described as a voice of a seductress. "ok so what's the plan?" I ask as we are looking at the large wooden building. "The plan is simple you go in a attract there attention while I go and set up some spells to keep them from just attacking." She said as she starts to move to the side of the building doing something.

I proceed to the front door and open it. Inside I can see a assortment of random items scattered around the place with a bar looking area near the back wall. Behind the bar is a large man with wight hair and a red tattoo on his face. Sitting at the bar is a little blond girl with a red scarf talking to a woman's to her left wearing a black cloak and revealing clothes all in black. As soon as I enter all of them turned to me. The big man behind the bar asked in a rough voice with a look of confusion "what do you want, where closed so if you want something come back tomorrow, so leave."

"I am afraid I can't do that." I said at this point the woman at the bar says "well this was not part of the deal, oh well plans always change so not that it matters." She says as she stands up and begins to walk away from the bar and towards me. Once she was only a few feet Away I see her reach into her cloak and pull out a short curved sword and try to slash at me with it. Out of instinct I jump back and barley avoid the strike as I pull out the short sword on my hip and got into a ready stance. "Oh? I'm surprised you dodged that though I guess it does make sense. After all someone dressed like that should be able to fight a little bit." She said in a almost sarcastic tone while twirling her short sword. "Hey! Little lady I suggest you stop before I step in." The old man behind the bar yelled out while reaching for a large wooden club as long as him. "How about you just wait your turn." The woman said as she throw throwing knives that the old man caught with his club. Using this moment while the woman was distracted I went forward and started to swing my straight sword before she leaped away and towards the old man. Seeing this I took out a black fire bomb and through it right at her back to try an get her attention. The woman managed to role out of the way of the black fire bomb and started to run back to me. I saw this and sheathed my straight sword and instead pulled out my lothric great sword and stabbed it at her to try and take advantage of the range. She jumped up causing my stab to miss as she landed on the great sword. "My, you have great strength to be able to swing this thing around like that." She said while looking down at me before leaping off the great sword and trying to charge me again. At this point I see a crystal fly through the air and almost hit her but she stoped it using her blade. When I look to where the crystal came from I see Satella standing by a window with her arms out in front of her.
