ON A NOISY NIGHT A HOODED MAN ENTERS A TAVERN ,HE WAS CARRYING
A METER-LONG STICK , TIGHTLY WRAP WITH CLOTHES CUT LIKE BANDAGE WRAPPED AROUND IT ,AND HE ALSO CARRY A SOFT LEATHER SLING-BAG TO HIS LEFT SIDE.
It was so noisy and crowded, the other customers were busy talking to each other, he sat near the bar area of the tavern ,which was more quiet and peaceful.
As he sat down and says to himself
"Man I'm ~starving~(Stomach rumbles) I'm too tired to walk"
He put his things under the chair,
He waved to the waiter , and ordered food.
While he ordered food, a strange man sat next to him and ordered some drinks from the barista specifically rum .The barista came with the food he(hooded man) ordered and the stranger's orders
The stranger said;
"Alone?.. new face.. and also mysterious one", He looked at the hooded guy,he took a sip from his own mug *He smiled*
So...Sips rum put the mug down with aloud thud sound
what's ya name lad? He asked as he slid a rum next to the guy's plate.
The hooded guy chows his food down ,"looks at the rum and the stranger but only for a second" then he replies;
Hedrin Slooves that's my name,
And yours?
Cliff .. Cliff Volvine The strange man replied.
Hedrin finished his food. He looked at Cliff .
He was taken aback to see Cliff's appearance.
6'11 ft tall red-brownish-green skinned, auburn long hair, his face looks like a reptilic creature with six eyes upper teeth showing his fangs and five teeth in between.
Woahh! Hedrin was shocked at Cliff's Striking appearance.
Cliff smiles as he knows that was gonna be Hedrins Take on his looks.
*Hedrin's hood got removed as he stood in his seat*
Hedrin: I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention to your Appreance earlier.. sorry for my reaction
Cliff:Haha! It's okay, to be honest, it's pretty common ,it happens to me all the time
Hedrin: I see... i feel bad.. he sat down and looked at the mug full of rum ,lift it and chugs it all down.
Cliff Couldn't believe that a young man has a gut to chug a big cup of rum just like that.
Both of them talks until time passes by.
Cliff: Ahh... So you're saying you're an old dungeon dweller and also a mage? *Cliff rubs his chin* *a mage?* so you decided to pursue your dream and stopped being a Dungeon dweller??
Hedrin: yeah .. long story short I ... I got tired of repeated cycle of exploring dungeons and also slaying the same dungeon monsters over and over, I'd love to battle something not from dungeons maybe fire birds or maybe Forest Ogres, you know .. the common creature you see Outside of the Dungeon I ca-
Cliff:hahah okay.. I get it *cut Hedrin off**Sips rum*
So kid ...what you're current plan? *Curioused and asks Hedrin while he sips his mug*
Hedrin: me? Well *scratching the back of his head* I'm planning to .....maybe try something new . *Smiles*
Cliff: something new ey? *Chuckles and Thinking something*
HEDRIN NOTICED CLIFF SUDDEN REACTION ,CLIFF THEN TURNED AND FACED HEDRIN
Cliff:Would you like to join me? My crew.
Hedrin: Crew? Wait ..I never asked What ar-
Cliff stood up from his sit and then reaches for his Tricorne hat from his back ,worn-out appearance of his hat looks like it's been in several fight and wars
Cliff: I'm a pirate captain*His tail swishes behind him*
Hedrin eyes widen took a few steps back as he heard those words , reaching for his magic staff
CLIFF QUICKLY DASHED TOWARDS HEDRIN KICKING HIS STAFF AWAY FROM HIM
Cliff: *Sighs* I can't let you use magic here.. you'll cause so much damage to the tavern, Calm down and take a sit *Offers Hedrin to take a sit pointing to the chair*
Hedrin: *eyes shifting side to side* *noticed the
other customers getting worried* *inhales and calmed down* *Eyes narrowed and trusted Cliff ,which he then returned to his seat*
Cliff:So .. returning to the question.. would you like to join my crew *Grins*
Hedrin: *Not facing Cliff*..IF !!. I Join you is their a catch? *Faced Cliff as he finishes his question*.
Cliff: No catch, just ..Invitation for you *giggles*
SILENT ERUPTED BETWEEN THE TWO
"so you like killing people?*Eyes narrowed*". Hedrin asked.
*Cliff Taken aback by his questions he laughed loudly ,tears starting to appear from his six eyes*
"answer me!"Hedrin said In serious demeanor.
"I'm not that kind of a pirate.. *sips rum and slams the mug down*Yeah I'm a pirate, I'd love treasure more than anything ,and sometimes battles isn't avoidable ,some killing is necessary*Eyes darken*". Cliff said in an Strange mid- aggressive voice.
Hedrin weirded and disgusted , shut his eyes and reach out for his coin pouch and payed his bills in a calm manner* *walks away from Cliff ,then exits the tavern* .
*Cliff couldn't believe Hedrin's attitude towards him, he reach out for his back pocket and pulled coins out then puts it in the bar table, and followed Hedrin*.
Both men exits the tavern.
Hedrin , a little frustrated as he walks away from the tavern, followed by Cliff behind him.
"Hey kid-Hedrin wait for me"Cliff said in a rushed voice.
*Hedrin turn around as he saw Cliff still following him*
Hedrin let out a sigh and waits for Cliff.
Cliff then caught up with him then,
Hedrin asked
"What do you want?,why are you following me?"
"I *Huff huff* ..followed.. you..... because I want to hear your answer" Cliff said as he catches his breath.
"...My answer?!,What are you talking about?"Hedrin said expressively.
Cliff: You haven't answered my question, if you wanted to join me or not..
Hedrin: no .. I don't want to join your crew!
*Cliff grinned,and said* "I see hehe but ... If you're going to change your mind can see me at the tavern every night and during day I'm at the Hollow Doves Port". *Cliff then walks away from Hedrin turning his back against the mage*.
*Hedrin watches Cliff ,as he returned to the Tavern*
*Hedrin thinks, questioning what just happened tonight, he then returns to the Inn he was staying*.
