Chapter 3 - First skill

Unlike the last few days Priya does not go outside to get more centepides because she does not want a bigger boom in centepides population she wants to see how many of the centepides can hatch and she also said something about seeing if the offspring had mutations i dont know if that would be good or not but i also don't really care as long as we have more power so we can survive i dont really care if it means using mutations.

Anyway the last few days Priya has either trained with me or watched me train but she could always train longer then me i found that out after i was dead tired but she was still going i was suprised for a little bit but then again i have a lot of catching up to do.

While i was training i suddenly felt something in my body change and stopped wich pulled me out of my thoughts and i look at Priya only to see her looking at me and smiling so she knows something happened but before i could say something she already was talking " well congratulations on your first skill although it was very quick i am very happy with it so what did you get?" She asked i was about to say that i did not know but i heard my own voice in my mind say something and i assumed that was the skill.

" I got stealth." I answered just like how i knew the name i also knew what it does it makes me harder to track and makes me faster in the dark. Priya clicked a her mandibels as a way to get my attention " you have no idea how good that will be so with that out the way i wanted to ask something?" That was surprising normally i was the one who asked stuff but i nodded letting her continue " i wanted to know if the city that is near here has a pub." Now that also suprised me allot.

" I get that your happy i got a skill and the city most likely has a pub but i dont think having my first skill calls for a drinking alcohol." I answerd her but she faceplamed letting me know just how stupid i am for saying that.

" While that is only a little bit of the reason i want to go but since you forget the pub is also a great way to get info from people who think that no one can hear them and also maybe get a lead on one off the other captains and if your worried about what people will do when they see me i will just cover it up using a cloak so no problem." She said all that while also making sure to point out that i should have known that, oh well not like i will argue with it so we decided to go.

We had no problem getting to the city or even entering the city since the guards only really check the Merchant cards i dont know why but it seems that they think that they are safe just because the academy is near but i am i not complaining so we searched for the pub and entered and just like we thought there were allot of people so we took a place in a corner and order something to drink in order to blend in Priya got her some sort of fruit juice and i went for a water.

" I most say that i am suprised that it is this busy already." I said to Priya and she agreed with me but also saying that it should get more busy and also look out for guards since they hear allot and that we had some chance of hearing something interesting well more chance then with normal folk and she has a point. After a few hours true to what Priya said it got more busy and we where now just waiting to hear something interesting.

A half hour passed with some interesting things but nothing that was linked to a captain or other Legion and also nothing that sparked intrest in Priya to even remember. Then i saw some guards enter they probably just got off duty but still had their armor on indicating that they could be called back on duty but they did not give a fuck because they started drinking so if they were called back they would get there drunk and get a earfull of their leader but who am i to say that i mean its easier to get them talking when their, drunk so i dont mind and also i am not in their position so i cared even less.

" I am telling you man in the west there are strange things going on it has been almost a week that merchants are saying that there is a lot more wasps then normal." One of the guards said. " Really your still on that it probably is just a population boom from a abundance of flowers that are growing there it is also normal after last years warm fall so the wasps and bees easily got through winter." Another guard said clearly done with the other guards story he probably heard it before. " No you dont understand that their are so many their has to be some sort of big nest there and it won't take long for them to take over a bit of the west with there numbers." The first guard said clearly knowing that something is wrong, but the others dont seem to care enough it all sounds like a made up story how could wasps of litterly everything take over the west side of the roads when there are monsters like a gaint grizzly who would attack a wasp hive thinking it was a bee hive, so this so called wasp problem will be solved soon the other guards believe.

Now this was definitely worth checking out for and Priya thought the same so she and Zack left the pub and went back to the cave they call home. As soon as they came back Priya started talking " now i am sure you also find that intresting enough to check it out dont you Zack?" Even though it was a question Zack knows that the answer already is yes so he nodded along.

" Good you probably figured it out but its the best chance of finding a another captain not to mention that it is the wasp captain most likely and that means we havd flying insects and that will already make it more save." Priya was almost jumping up and down in joy happy to hopefully find one of the captains so she had some one who maybe have more info about the rest even though the chance was small it was still a chance.

" So when do you want to leave?" Zack asked her knowing that she wanted to leave soon. "At dawn i think would be best." She answered and Zack nodded understanding that most people will still be asleep and with his new skill he was not totally helpless.
