"I think it would be better to know our arsenal"said Nazar as he just finished some important explanations
"the "sleep depraved panda" circle under your eyes and ragged messy noodle arms of yours tells me you suck at close combat let me take front you support me from behind"remarked Taara as she flipped her hair nonchalantly
after a short moment of death stare between two of them Nazar spoke
"The airhead country girl look you trying so hard to attain made you slow as a "snail on sedatives" especially your reflexes that made you fall from stairs which i think in your stead even a rock would be able to avoid it"
death stare continued for its second round
"it will be a long long day"sighed Taara as she rubbed her eyes
"de ja vu and yes it will be"replied Nazar as he mimicked the nonchalance of hers

all Capitals in the World whether it be a glorious mage kingdoms or dwarven miracles of steel had its darker corners,slums. here was not an exception the almighty mountain rising in the western gates of the Viatonne was a natural defence surrounding the city along with the Embers Sea on the East and greatest city walls one could ever want. in its peak sat a Prophets Temple of Royal Blood and many garrisons that called Eagle Nests among the common folks scattered through it.
the need for manpower in the mines resulted in immigration of workforces with the need of lodging they made settlements carved through rock makeshift wooden houses without proper maintanance and coffinlike houses that could fall out of the rifts any moment.the need became a problem and problem became a bigger one. as the the population rise the slums were created and labor exploitation of many poor people increased rapidly.
there were people that havent seen the sun for years and starving people that even vultures wouldnt bother to eat were roaming the streets half dead covered in dirt and dust.
...
one of the food stalls was busy with its customers that just got out of the mines for lunchbreak they sat on the street across the stall to munch on some Mine Bat skewers that they bought
"hurry guys its been 10 minutes already if we miss the next elevator we will be late and have to take the holes that takes you god knows where"said older miner with grey beard as he munched on some wings to his dwarf group
"shit i cant even rest for a minute urghhhhh"said the one of the younger one as he cracked his back
"my back is killing me too. swing the axe all day ohh its not a living..." said the gloomy one as he smoked a cigarette
"do you even have the money to buy these poisons? you dumbass! if you dont wanna live just jump down! maybe it would be better for the world. but no even I an old man will not give up as long as I breath so you youngsters have no right to do so" blasted the old miner as he slammed his fist on the ground
"hmph I didnt fell that low to fight with an old fart or throw my life in this land"replied the gloomy as he turned to the other side not wanting to press it further
"hmph! to you! anyways you bastard you made me look bad in front of our new brothers isnt that right Taazar,Nara? oh by the way thats some weird names you got there where are you guys from HEh!"commented old man joyfully as he nudged them with his elbows
"Ah we are from the Axis Kudabe Plains. And Ugh! i think you just made a crater on my shoulder so I will have to slack of like my gloomy brother PEhEH! said the man with the messy look even too much for a miner
"BWAHAHH i like you so much already,oh by the way is your brother okey he didnt even finish his bat meat"
"Ah Urrrp I amb bfine zorry" replied the man as he tried to hold his puke
"Hmmph? why do you speak weird and..."
*ah he fell from horse when he was a kid and speaks funny since the,well you know he is a bit retarded" whispered the man as he leaned onto the old man
"ah i see i see poor lad i am sorry"
"Nazar you fucker Urrp Erp"
the green glowing skiny boys mumbling to himself couldnt be understood by others and after a short moment of chatter and laugh they get up to take the elevator to the entrance
...
same day, midday in a room at a certain temple in slums.two people were arguing about an hour
"how much we can rely on these charms talismans or whatever the hell it is of yours" asked Taara as she twitched his foot
"hmm, they are pretty reliable and i got many of them at my disposal. and oh! there are levels to them did you know about that?"
"no"remarked Taara as she was getting restless with all that planning that they did
"you ignorant bastard"
"..."
"hehe i thought you would find it funny"
"..."death stare continued
"A-anyways no joke for rest of the day i get it. And as for the levels it is about the energy that must be put into them to activation almost all charms are EndoManaic and harder the reaction to complete it requires more mana so it is divided to levels by an universal Critera
level 0 are for the reactions that even can be activated by normal, less denser energy sources other than mana. like how you ignite a bomb with fire and basic clockwork mechanisms using batteries
level 9 is for the energy required to asce..."
"W-WAİT Wait what the hell happened to the others in between???"

"the color suits you well"
"of course it suits me every make up artist needs an pink Box of Wonders by Schmelle Corps i got the colllectors edition too it has an broad customer profile ranging from the noble teenager girls and spies on infiltration missions"
