Chereads / Duck king in a magic world?! / Chapter 12 - The Guild

Chapter 12 - The Guild

As Donald walked through the sallon like doors to the guild a sudden pungent stench of booze and sweat hit his nose, a disorienting smell of the place. matched with its cramped tables packed with adventurers of all sorts packed sholder to shoulder like sardines."it's okay kid you'll get used to it." the buff man walking him into the building said to him." they're a rowdy bunch but they know how to get the job done, the names Gridus I'm the guild master of this branch welcome to my home." He told the slightly lost Donald, with a hardy slap on the back he sent Donald rocketing into a seat at the bar. regardless of his wishes he was now sat at the bar Gridus having walked behind it and began pouring them both a mug of ale. he slid the drink to Donald motioning for him to drink," this ones on the house kid so why you lookin so glum kid trouble in paradise?"

Donald was about to speak but just gave a long sigh before taking a few large gulps from the mug." life's just... a bit rough.." his words were heavy with his thoughts of the past few days that had been so fun but now their memory tasted bittersweet.

"aye lad that it is..." Gridus took one massive swig before slaming the mug down now allmost empty before speaking again." it's rough but you look worse for ware, you outa job or somethin?"

"i- well it's something like that" as if he had forgotten Donald suddenly remembered this was where he was trying to go to finally make som coin to head off to the isles." uhh actually this is the place to be making some coin right?"

Gridus simply beamed with a grin spread across his face as he bellowed out a mighty laugh that seemed to shake the very walls of the building." that it is I wouldn't assume you already have a license would you. I sure as hell ain't seen ya around here before?" the smile softly faded away as the man suddenly seemed to shift into a business mood before pointing over to a large builtin board across the right wall plastered with countless bounty notices and job requests.

"I don't could you help me with that you see I am in need of some funds to make my journy and this seems quite right to make out with what I need." Donald responded a sly smile stretched on his face slightly flushed from the drink Gridus calmly sliding a sheet of paper over to him.

calmly he spoke" 10 coppers for the fee just fill this out and I can get you signed up without much trouble but..." He made a long pause his face suddenly turning serious " this job ain't for the pansy ass weak hearted there's you see running round like adventurers. there all papered rich kids who don't understand what their doin just chasing fame and fortune, if your like any of them." He suddenly pulled the sheet of paper back towards him" then just leave I've seen many a new adventurer wind up in an early grave to wish such a thin on ya."

his words made Donald pause if only slightly before grabbing the paper and filling it out.

name:

age:

occupation:

magic/aura rank:

next of kin(for allocation of decesed):

it was quite a simple application but it held a tremendous weight to it as it implied he likely would not survive his jobs requiring a next in line upfront. he glazed over the paper before making his decision

name:The Duck king

age:24

occupation:duck

magic/aura rank:duck

next of kin(for allocation of decesed):duck

after a quick deliberation Donald filled out the form with a slight chuckle in his mind' if that's what the f***ing duck god wants than so be it I'll consider it a repayment for this so called "life" of mine, I'll rise to the very top if that's what it takes.' as a fire burned in his eyes and he dropped the payment next to the sheet Gridus began reading the filled form. with a burst he blew the mouthful of alcohol right into Donald's face" oi lad ya fucking kidding me?! the hell is this this ain't a form it's a mochary? take me for a fool do ya!" the man seemed enraged by Donald's "joke" but looking at Donald's stern face his black eyes burning with fire an insane thought passed though his mind" your serious!! your badshit crazy lad but your bold I'll give it to ya" he seemed to relent at the ridiculous form and went to make a card before handing it to him." aye jes get outta here ya bastard don't say I never warned ya."with a hearty slap on the sholder Gridus sent Donald off but before he could get out of Gridus's cluches the guild master tossed him a dagger in a letter holder. it looked cheep not very well made, but sturdy enough to get the job done with a sharpened edge." consider it a welcome gift lad, it's dangerous outside the gates ya need to be able to protect yourself."

After thanking the man the latter glanced over to the large board full of papers before ripping one down and calling out to the burly man behind the counter" I'm taking this one." without waiting for a reply he walked out of the guild and back onto the street. His charcoal eyes simmered with a cold going as he gazed over the twisting streets of packed dirt most buildings not even reaching 3 story's. ' if they want a monster' his hand clenched as a wicked smile split across his face ' then I'll be the worst demon from the depths of hell. pepole show their true colors when they fear let's paint the world in every shade and shower in their tears.' he walked out the gates and into the depths of the forest. breaking into a sprint like a flourish of lights crackling feathers drifted behind him like a whirlwind splicing the ground and leaving gashes upon the forest as he speed to its center straight into a goblin den. He was a powder keg packed to the brim and the hate of the world was setting him ablaze, ready to burn the whole city to the ground.
