During our 2 hour trip in the back of a horse carriage, the scenery we came across was the same forest we seen outside the beginner town. And by the time we have reached our destination, the sun was already a giant bleeding ball sitting on the horizon. And sitting on top of the hill and cast under the sinister red light, was a stone fortress which I assumed was our destination. As we approached, the fortress gate lifted up, like the jaws of some great beast. "This is?..." I scanned around the courtyard. Compared to their guild hall in beginner's town, the fortress was sparse with people. A couple of individuals stood in armour, chatted among themselves quietly, while some middle aged man dressed in peasant clothing, shoved manure into a cart. "Fort Bizenburg. Most of people here are 'trainee' members like you." the horseman explained. "The ones dressed in peasant clothing are NPC we hired.""I see..." I nodded to myself."Alright, I am going to drop you off here. Your supervisor should be here soon.""Oh ok, thanks." I waved the horseman good bye, as we both climbed out the carriage."This place looks boring." Enju commented, and I really couldn't argue with that one now."Ho-ho! Fresh meats here!" came a deep Scottish male accent. We both of spun around and found ourselves face to face with a big burly man in armour, with a lumber jack beard around his neck."WELCOME TO FORT BIZENBURG!" he said, throwing up his arms. "I am Braum, commander of this fort. If you ever need something, or have question, just come to me." he pounded his chest."Boy, you have a look of a knight." he turned to me. "What is your name?""Riga." I replied."Very cool name, has that nice ring to it." he then turned to Enju. "And you lovely lady, what is your name?" "Enju." she replied, starting up at him. Well to be honest, I have to look up at him as well, the man was massive, like a bear, or perhaps a small giant in his own right."Alright, let me show you two around the fort." he waved a hand gesture for us to follow."This fort is a neutral zone, but once you come here, you can log out, and log in next time from here." he explained, as we walked through the courtyard."There's the stables." he pointed, and out of the dozens of stalls, only 3 were occupied at the time. "That's where we keep our horses, and once we kept a dragon in it! A DRAGON! Can you believe it?""Really?" Enju eyes gleamed."No doubt about it. Seen it with my own eyes." Braum chuckled.Those stalls looked pretty average sized, so I suppose if there was to be a dragon, it had to be a pretty small one then...As Enju and Braum laughed along, we made our way into inside the fortress, and at what appears to be a dinning hall, Braum explained again:"Here is the mess hall. It's usually empty, but you can still order beer, and dine anytime you want." We stared at the large room, with a dozens of long tables scattered around. And at the time appeared to be only about 8 people, all clustered in one table and chatting."Oh, these will be the people you will be working and training with for the next whole month. But before that, I want to you to meet our new chef."Braum grabbed us by the shoulder and steered us into a side door, opened it, and lead us into what appeared to be the kitchen."Mario! We got fresh meats here!"The way how Braum said that in this particular place, made it extremely unsettling. And a moment later, a figure emerged from behind the stove. And a series of angry Italian came spewing out like a machine gun, before he finally ended off with an English sentence:"Mario is not my name! Stupid Scott man!" There was no doubt about it, this was the Italian dude from my tutorial team. Except he wasn't dressed in cloth anymore, instead he wore a white apron along with the classical tall white chef hat. A small gasp escape from me as we meet eyes, but the Italian guy seemed unfazed. Whether he didn't recognised me, or simply didn't care. I will go with both. "Our friend Mario, high spirits as ever!" Braum laughed as he patted Mario on the back. Which Mario responded by slapping away his hand and turning away immediately."So when will dinner be ready? My stomach is eating myself." Braum asked him.Mario let out a harsh sigh, before turning around and facing Braum again:"We're all out of meat. What do you expect me to cook? You?" Mario said, turning around with hands at his hips. Braum rubbed his chin and considered for a moment, before finally turning to us saying:"You two are staying for dinner right?"I considered for a moment, then nodded."Good. I will get the others." Braum crossed his arms. "Tonight, we hunt for dinner."Q: Do you cook your own food?
