He walked to a marketplace outside of a large building. It was full of bustling people and the smell of gold coins. He inhaled and smiled then exhaled loudly. "Money..." he said to himslef as he walked into the market to buy his supplies.
Viviane Pole, Yeah that's my name anytime I hear it I choke on my own spit, sickening right? Well I think so..as your basically a orphan which you've been for the last what 10 years? Sickening is the only word you can think of? Wait what about barf that's a good word to I suppose, I live with my Auntie now and boy does she hate me and I hate her.. Its like war every morning.
"Viviane! Wake your ass up now! Time for school don't want to be late on your first day!" I heard her yell,
Here Comes the bitch!
"Alright I get it!" I yelled back to her getting out of bed and looking in the mirror my smile turned into a frown and then I began to comb it,
but of course that was a fail..
I dressed in my usaully clothing and grabbed my IPod and shoes, I walked down stairs and began to slip on my shoes as my Auntie Lisa gave me the morning, Wish I never had to keep you I could be in Las Vagas Glare! man did I hate that glare, "Aren't you going to eat?" she asked like she had to and didn't want to, sounded like a girl pouting over her phone being taken away from her, "No" I said walking out the front door and slamming it behind me, I flung my backpack over my shoulder which was on my porch? must've left it out all night, I made sure I had my wand and I did smiling just a little bit I cracked my neck and head down the sidewalk going north, which was the way to my school well from my house that is, mostly I ignored everyone I saw and kept walking hoping, just hoping I wouldn't run into someone.
Please god, Don't let me run into someone who goes to the school..
"Morning~" Scarlet or Scar yawned hitting her alarm clock, she stepped out of bed and rubbed her eyes and got on her school uniform, she was only 5'1 and was already 18, she would be called a elementary student but she would just laugh it off, no one has ever seen her cry, or frown, or angry but always smiling sometimes people thought she wasn't human.
Grabbing her beg and heading out her apartment and down the side walk running to Wizardry school she was so happy to finally be doing something, going west from where she lived she head to the school she passed up a marketplace, she had 65 minutes until school started so she didn't see why she couldn't stop by and grab some sweets, maybe she would find a friend to share them with!! She walked in happy as ever and looked around the place and walked to a sweet shop
Vivi kept walking and went to a bookstore by her house and bought a good book called, "The 5th wave" she was reading as she did she stopped in front of a Market place and placed the book in her backpack, "Maybe..They have...A ATM or a nice Cafe" she said chuckling and yawning, what she really wanted to find was one of those clothing stores or a small gamble she can bet on while the time passes.
Maladri was awoken from her meditation by Tyros nudging her.
"Alpha, isn't it now time for you to go into the town? You told us you were going in today to fetch information on runic tomes."
Maladri nodded slowly petting Tyros between the ears as she stood. Putting her blue robes on, Maladri strode across the cave and grabbed two small glowing crystals. Looking outward she whistled. Her largest wolf, Hanmir, sprinted up to her and lowered himself. Maladri jumped onto his back and clicked for him to run.
Maladri had heard that there was a store here in town, a library. Stalking slowly through the town-square, Maladri glanced over and spotted a girl, she was walking away from a marketplace.
"Go." Maladri spoke softly in Hanmir's ear, causing the large wolf to charge towards the small blonde girl.
Maladri was easily two heads taller than her on the wolf.
"You there, where is the library?" Maladri asked the smaller girl.
"Ah..Great" She mumbled, turning around to see a wolf and she felt like she was gonna faint, "I-I Um.." She was nervous as Hell, Vivi wanted to run from the large beast but she couldn't let that happen, "I-Its 25 minutes from here going down from here as you take a left you should arrive there!" Vivi said smiling nervously and clinging to her outfit which was in her bag, "Never seen a girl on a wolf before.....Man I'm fucked this school year" Vivi thought as you could see the glare in her eyes which looked very disspointed.
I awoke in what only could have been described as a shit hole, the bed was more of a cot, the walls and ceiling were murky and had the promises of mold to come. Besides the 'bed' and a small dresser with two of the three draws broken there was not much else to the room. My head throbbed with a pounding headache and the sun glaring directly into my eyes through a hole in the tattered curtains felt like it was burning my retinas. I pulled my headband down over my eyes and let out a long exasperated sigh. "God dammit..." A small weight on my chest and quiet purring sound made me lift one side of my headband to see its cause. A small dark kitten sat curled up in the center of my chest, it looked up at me and meowed softly. I lowered my hands and scratched under its chin causing it to purr and lean into my hand. "All right then, lets find you some food." I gentle lifted it off me and placed it on the bed while I rose and quickly got myself dressed in my usual attire. I reached under the bed and retrieved my sword, strapping it to my back then quickly checking myself over before picking the kitten up and cradling it one arm.
As I entered the hallway I remembered it was not a hotel I was in but a tavern. Small flickers of last nights drunken escapades returned to me and bought a smile to my lips, but a small meow quickly bought me from my musings and I continued onwards. The bar downstairs was as quiet as you would expect at this time in the morning, so I took a stool at the end of the bar and placed the kitten down on the counter.
The bartender seemed to pay no mind to the cat as he approached and lent one arm of the bar and spoke to me. "What'll ya have?" "A saucer of milk and anything for a headache." The bartender gave me a questioning gaze then looked down at the cat as if only just noticing it, realization dawned on him and he moved off to fulfill the order.
"Boy am i craving a Bottle of Ale and a Chocolate bar..." He said to himself. He figured he rather get drunk then nibble on chocolate instead of Vice Versa.With that he was off to thebnearest Tavern Considering all bars would be jam packed at this time.
As he Walked to the Tavern, He saw a Few Wolves and a small blonde girl talking to another girl. He overheard the woman Say "You there!" As if the smaller girl was entitled to answer. As he strolled by, he said "Be polite, And maybe youll get answers more quickly." with a slight chuckle at the end.
"eh.." Scarlet said looking at a little stuff animal rabbit, "Its $40 dollars.." She said sighing and reaching in her pocket, "I only have $15...Maybe..Can we make a far trade?" Scar ask the frontdesk manager in a pleading tone, she took off her $100 dollar watch and placed it on the counter, "Maybe this for the rabbit?" she asked,
"No" he replied.
"W-What why?!" She said almost crying,
"Cause you need cash little girl go pawn that somewhere and come back next time!" He yelled kicking Scar out, she sniffled and looked at her watch which was in her grip.
"I'll get that Bunny sooner or later!" She said, walking off for school as she did she saw a group of people and wondered what they we're doing but ignored it and leaped off out of the market place, "To school I go to school I go heading to School to school I go!" she sung.
".....I um.." Vivi was panicking inside, All of the sudden this girl shows up on a wolf! and now this guy! I'm dead aren't I!! Wait MAYBE THEY"RE PART OF THE RUSSIAN MAFFIA!!!!, Vivi thought as she saw a young girl get kicked out of a shop, she also saw her walk of and hearing her sing made her gain a headache, "I'm gonna go." she said since she did have school and maybe the girl had school to, or went where she went, "I'll see y-ya!" she said waving bye in a fast pace from being nervous and running out of the market and to school,
But that guy was kinda cute.., WAIT WHAT?!?!?Vivi slapped her self and began to blush and run faster.
I sat in the dim light of the bar, scratching the kitten behind the ear as I waited for the barmen. Within a couple of minutes he returned, carrying a small saucer of milk and a mug with something unfamiliar in it. He set them down on the and shimmed the saucer over to the cat. The cat quickly turned its attention from me to the milk as I turned mine to the mug before me. I picked up the mug and swirled the liquid around, it was as thick as cream and had a murky brown colour to it, it had no smell to it which I found strange since it looked as if it should smell horrendous. The barmen smiled at he as I raised an eyebrow at him, clearly unimpressed. "My own design that is. Guaranteed to cure any hangover." He put his hands on his hips and stood with pride shining off him. "Looks like something my friend here has coughed up." I said motioning at the cat. The barmen lost his look of pride and gave me a more serious look. I took that as my Que not to antagonize him further and with a deep breath quickly threw back the mugs entire contents. It had no real taste to it which I was grateful of but the effects of it were immediate. My headache instantly lessened and the general grogginess of the morning seemed to evaporate.
Feeling refreshed and ready for another day, I stood up from the bar and reached into my pocket. Pulling out all that was left of my money and finding it just enough to cover the cost of the drink and bed for the night. Dammit, did I really spend it all in one night?! I threw the money onto the counter. "Keep my room for me... And make sure the little one doesn't get stepped on." With a nod of understanding from the barmen I moved out of the tavern, stepping into the light of the morning sun. I looked around to gain my bearings and saw the streets were already packed with people heading too and from the market district. I pulled my headband down a little to shield my eyes from the glaring sun and started heading up the street towards city square.
Scarlet saw a man who looked in distress from the sunlight she grabbed a hat that looked about something for his style and gave it to him while blushing from embarrassment and being nervous on not talking to most people and getting to school late, "H-Here you go sir.. It looked like the sun was trying to eat you up so here" She said before looking at her watch, "Oh no! I gotta go! Names Scarlet people call me Scar see you next time!" Scar said running off.
A bottle slid to him from the other side of the counter and he slid 3 5 dollar bills back. He unscrewed the cap and took a sip "Good..." he said as he got up and left, Bottle in hand.
He took an immediant Right and walked down a long ally way. As he exited, he was stopped by two officers. "Stop."
"Hello Officers" He said as he slowly turned around.
"Whay are you doing carrying a bottle of intoxicating fluids openly?"
"Oh this?"
"Yes, thats two days in prison"
"Im afraid that wont happpen, im an important man, i do as i please"
"Im afraid your coming with us."
Travis noticed how close they still were to the ally way. So as he squated down to set down his whiskey, He rose up, Grabbing his knives, Jabbing them into the necks of the officers and driving them into the allyway before they could react or be noticed.
He layed them down and sighed. He looked around and noticed a dumpster. So he dragged them over and threw them in. he left the allyway, swiping up his whiskey as he did and continued to the lucy.
"Errrrr.... Thanks?" I watched the girl 'Scar' run off through the crowd and out of sight. I looked down at the hat she had handed me and turned it round. "Huh, not bad." The brimmed hat was black with a red lining to it that matched my outfit nearly perfectly, with a small smile and spun it over and in one smooth motion whipped it onto my head, making a small adjustment to it so it hid my eyes from the sun. With a quiet chuckle at the odd meeting I set off once again, walking at a casual pace with my back straight, standing tall.
It did not take long to reach the city square and after a quick glace around the area I headed straight to a shady looking building. The small sign hanging above the door labeled it as 'Honest Johns'. A well known establishment where mercenaries, bounty hunters, and any of the like could find work of most types. A central hub of information for underhanded people as long as you knew the right people. A quick glance and nod of recognition to the doorman allowed my entry. The inside was much less dank than the outside suggested, I quickly moved to an empty table in the corner and took a seat, my eyes scanning the room constantly as I waited for my intended employer.

Viviane felt a slight concern to run off she looked behind herself and watched a guy jug down some whiskey, ".........HEY! YOU SHOULDN"T DRINK IN DAMN DAYLIGHT!" She yelled all of the sudden then covered her mouth at blushed from being nervous and looked away, "I'm so sorry.." she whispered putting her head down.
