Chapter 003
As Jome and his travel companions awake from their slumber, the sun is barely peaking into the sky, Jome awakes to see Nick who in the middle of the night switch shifts of watch duties with Robert awake yawning. Jome watches as Nick and Robert who just get out of his tent talk to each other. Jome see Jack the Merchant who is setting up his carriage back up to start moving again, Jome walks up to Jack clearly wanting to ask him something.
Jome asks Jack "Jack how much farther are we from the City of Doris?" Jack looks at Jome and twist his mustache and he thinks for a second, then he answers "Jome we should be able to get there by the afternoon time today." With a Nod Jome says a "thank you" to Jack for answering his question, Jome then starts to help Nick and Robert pack up the tents and load them back up on to the carriage.
As They set back off toward the City of Doris, Jome asks What guild both Robert and Nick are apart of. Robert says "We are part of the mercenaries guild, Jome." Jome then asks with a level of innocence one would see out of a child Jome's age "What is different is the mercenaries guild is to the Monster Hunters guild?"
With a slight grin Robert say "The mercenaries guild and the Monster Hunter Guild are different in the type of jobs they take on, while they jobs you can get are similar to each other in both guilds. For example both guilds off guarding jobs but what the reason the are guarding is because of different reasons at the mercenaries guild we guard from other people while the Monster hunter guild guards from monsters."
Jome asks Robert "So the mercenaries guild does not hunt monsters?" Roberts thinks and says "Well every so often mercenary brigades do take on monster hunting mission, but the brigades would need a lot of members to do so. Though the only reasons they mercenaries guild would get those quest is if a Hunter from the monster hunter Guild is not available to take on the quest or if the lord of the land is too cheap to pay for a Hunter."
Nick asks Jome "Why do you even want to join the Monster Hunter Guild for anyway?" Jome then quickly says "I have to join the Monster Hunter Guild to hunt some monsters that my Grandfather needs to cure his sickness." Nick says with a smirk and a laugh meant to mock Jome "Good Luck to you then, because you gonna Need it" Which makes Jome look at he and Smiles as he says "Thanks" since Jome did not notice that Nick was mocking him Jome taken it as goodwill which makes Nick more annoyed.
As time passes Jome finally sees the tall walls of the City of Doris Jome say to himself "So that is the City of Doris." Roberts says "Finally we get a rest." The Carriage waits in a line of carts and other carriages, when the carriage enters the city walls Jome sees the main street which leads to different areas of the city. Robert points out to Jome where the Monster Hunters guild is located, Jome then starts to leave towards the guild.
As Jome is walking he sees many different sizes of house, some shabby closer to towards the walls of the city, while moving more inward in the city the houses slow become more larger and Charming. Jome heads to the eastern part of the city where the Monster Hunters Guild is located at once he finally get to the guild Jome Notice sign of the Guild that Has an drawing of a beheaded dragon on it.
Jome enters the guild building inside of the he sees plenty of people inside most of which are men. The average man Jome sees in the guild are tall, rough looking, many of which have very notice scars over their body parts that are exposed from their plate armor, they weapons That Jome sees them wield are mostly large swords and Axes while he also sees the occasional spear and bow. The woman he sees in the guild are mostly guild workers, the few hunters who were woman look to be more mages wearing light leather armor that are covered by cloaks and robes.
The inside of the building looks to be made of mostly of a dark colored wood, which most of the room is quite clean, the only place that seems to not be clean is and area that looks to be where monsters body are brought in where on the floor you can see the what looks to be blood and dirty that is in dragging pattern on the floor towards there.
Jome slowly walks towards the receptionist desk that is in the back of the room. As Jome passes the tables that the members of the guild, he can feel their eyes looking at him. some that he passes call out "Whose kid is that" in a teasing way while others just mutter under their breath "brat".
Once Jome gets to the receptionist desk the kind looking lady with blonde hair that reaches her shoulders on the other side softly says to Jome "What can I do for you Little one?"
Jome says back politely to her " I have came to join the Monster Hunter Guild. miss"
The lady says "Oh you seems a little to young to join the guild hun." Jome then hands over a letter written by his Grandfather to her he says "My Grandfather told me to give this to the guild master."
Once seeing the letter and the crest on the letter noticing it is from a noble house she says to Jome "Right away Hun, oh and my name is Jesse." Jome then says "Hello Jesse nice to meet you my name is Jome."
Jesse takes Jome to a waiting area once sited Jesse tells Jome to wait there, then she takes the letter to the guild master. As Jome waits he looks around in the waiting area notices monsters parts that were made into trophies, some of them include heads of Trolls, Large Red furred Bears, and of teeth and claws of what looks to be dragons. One of the teeth he sees is about as long as his forearm is and some of the claws are as tall as he is.
After some time Jesse comes back to Jome and sweetly says to him "the guild master has read you letter and has decided to let you join the Guild Jome follow me and I get you signed up."
Once back to the receptionist desk Jesse hands Jome a paper that asks from his name, age and, if he has and magical abilities. Jome asks Jesse "Why do you want to know if I have any magical abilities for?"
She quickly and softly says "If you have some magical abilities most of the time you don't need to take the combat test to join, you would only need to show the spells to a guild staff member so they can verify that you can use magic then you can join without the test, though you still would need to take the combat test before you can set off on any quest."
Jome nods at her statement and writes down on the paper that he is able to use common spells such and write the he best at using water element spells.
When Jome hands the paper back to Jesse she reads it and smiles at Jome, saying she will get a examine to verify that he can uses magic. Soon enough Jesse leads Jome to some training grounds there he sees and older man with a bald head and many scars overs his arms and head. Jesse quickly asks the older bald man "Sir James I need you to verify that he can uses magic" she points towards Jome.
Sir James quickly and rough tells Jome "Come on kiddo show me an water attack spell shot it off towards that dummy there" he points at a wooden dummy on the outskirts of the training ground.
Jome nods and starts to cast a spell, as he does water forms once again in the shape of and arrow above his hand and he shoots it off towards the dummy once it heads it goes through the wooden dummy.
Sir James quickly says with a still rough voice "show me another spell." Jome casts and another spell this time, he uses water like a whip and the water whip quickly moves towards the dummy, the water whips slashes the dummy like it was a sword slashing through paper.
With a nod Sir James signs the paper and Jesse Tells Jome "congrats you are now a guild member Jome." and Jome face is that of excitement.
