"Same dream..." It was the soft whisper of a lone female who have awakened from a recurring dream. She rose from her current position for she had lay down to take a short nap during the course of her trip. Straightening her clothes that seemed to have earned minute creases, her gestures and movements were refined to a point of delicate pedigree. There was no denying that this female was part of the upper echelons of society. After making certain that she was now satisfied of her appearance, she directed her mahogany brown eyes to the nearby window as she watched the passing sceneries. There was not much to see as the view become more dreary as the carriage that she had taken continued to move forward to her intended destination.
However, she felt a wave of curiosity similar to an infant of the various things she had seen without restrictions. In her entire existence, this was the only time she had managed to leave the comforts of her home. She was never allowed to leave the premises without the reason of important banquets or guards. Most of the time, she was secluded inside the walls of the compound she had lived in. It was rather ironic as she had never fully explored the town or the continent she was born into. Now, here she was in another land divided by the oceans. She had braved through the security and boarded a ship to transfer her to the Continent of Stars. Upon docking, she had arrived at another town and would need to travel further on land to reach the place she was seeking. As such, she was now inside a carriage which she had rented for this purpose. It was good thinking that she had managed to grab a good amount of money for her expenses.
Reaching something inside her pocket, She took out an envelope. It had already been opened and its contents probably already been seen. She gazed at it for an amount of time before taking out a parcel from it. This was the reason why she had chosen to leave the life she had been born into. A fate that had been bestowed to her just because of the blood that flows in her veins. It would probably caused hysteria when someone finally discovers the letter she placed on top of her desk to inform of her decision. Although, she was certain that her father would reduced such panic into mere nothings to avoid staining the ever-important reputations. She finds such a thing as particularly demeaning and pathetic. "
I am not a cricket in a box..."Keeping the envelope, she wondered what kind of place and experiences she would be able to encounter. This was all due to the provocative invitation that tickled her desire of adventure and the want to take control of her will. Thinking about it, she had opted to throw this seemingly harmless invitation into the trash. If it was not purely for luck, she had picked it from the piles of documents she had unceremoniously tackled down to the floor. She would not have gathered enough courage to disobey every rules and traditions that chained her. Once more, she looked outside the window and could see that she was now in the infamous Obsidian Town of Tier. The place where she will hope to begin a new existence far different from the one she had before.
"Miss, we have arrived."The driver spoke through the small hole in front of the carriage as it had stopped. She looked once more to the window and confirmed it to be. Opening the door on her own, she stepped out and looked at the structure before her. It was not of glamour or extravagance. Rather, it was much like a tavern of mediocre quality. Regardless, she could see upon closer insight that it had specific features that resembled of a bunker.
"Miss, here is your bag." Turning her head to the driver who was an elderly man, she handed him the amount of money that had been agreed upon. After doing so, the said man gave a grateful bow and was soon off. But not before imparting some words to her, "
Miss, it is not my place to say this, but, this place does not grant dreams." With that, she was alone while looking at the sign of the structure in front her, Dragon Scale, the widely popular guild of Tier.
The words of the elderly driver lingered into her thoughts as she grabbed hold of her bag. It made her wonder if she had come across as someone who was an enthusiastic dreamer. Well, she would not deny that as she views this place as her starting point to new things, the beginning of her dreams. In any case, she should not bother with such vague matters for now. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the Guild Hall with determination. Upon entering, she had expected a much lively atmosphere due to its outer appearance. However, she was welcomed with a silence that run deep much like something one could read in horror stories. Although, there were no ghosts or monsters but people that could be counted by hand.
At the same time, she could see probably people who had just recently arrived. There were two men in front of her. One was likely to only ahead of her by a year or so. The other was much older due to his current appearance. She did not want to appear rude and completely distant. As such, she gave a courteous bow and greeted the two properly along with the occupants of the Guild. After all, they would be the ones she would get to interact with on a daily basis.
"Good day, My name is Serafine. I have been invited to join Dragon Scale starting today. It is nice to make your acquaintance."
