Master Of None

"Let's go! Everyone else is ready!" The rude awakening came from Remey who was quick to whip everyone in to shape. She had made them stop by the orphanage on their way home only to discover that her siblings had decided to come with them to the new city. They had made the decision to pursue a new future where they would be more than what they were now. Remey had held back tears of pride when they told her they would take the future in to their own hands.

They were barely old enough to take on small jobs alone but they had seen how Remey went out in to the world and seized what she needed for them. There was no way for her to tell them no. They all moved themselves in to the mansion by the end of the day. The building that they had once lived in would be empty for some time until another house mother and orphans came to exist there. Not a single one of them frowned when they left, there was more ahead of them.

Thus, the fact that Remey was yelling for Walker also woke up her siblings who had long adjusted to Remey's loud awakenings. The rush to send her off was loud enough to force Walker to run downstairs in the fear of some monster stampede. "I thought the mansion would fall down!"

"Oh calm down. They just came to say goodbye. You gave your mother that communication orb thingy from Scylla, right? They need to know a day ahead when we will teleport the mansion." The mom mode was fully activated as Remey hugged her usually rambunctious siblings. They would usually fight and try to take her down in a small brawl but now they were worried and sad. It was rare that they would get to see Remey off on an adventure.

Midnight was standing at the open front door waiting. The rest of their families had surprised them with a large cake at dinner and they had said their goodbyes. They were worried about the spatial magic that would be used to teleport them to the new city but Walker had explained things as best as they could. After all the excitement and explanations they had decided to let the party sleep early to prepare. "Alright, I have Remey, let's go."

The party was in their heroic armor set. Onyx had curled up on Walker's shoulders even though there was a slight cold breeze and the thin powdery snow threatened to be caught up in the breeze. He wanted to see everything as they left the city. Midnight had been diligent in her training and had her skeletal armor skill activated. The appearance of it had seemed to darken slightly and even looked thicker. Her hard work was easily paying off already.

The announcement of the king leaving had been made the week before so that the streets could be cleared for the exit. It was strange not seeing any wagons or large merchant groups around transporting goods. But it was even weirder to see the people outside their homes watching as the party walked toward the castle. Many people wanted a glimpse of the king and the guards leaving the city.

It was easy to see that the escort had been well thought out. There were guards that would form the inner circle of protection for a series of merchants, nobles, and the kings' carriage. The adventurers would be around the outer ring. Their responsibility was to deal with any monsters or possible bandits they may encounter. The positive side was that there were also some guards carrying torches with herbs prepared which would scare off most monsters with sensitive noses.

Every carriage was the same so no one knew which contained nobles, the king, or goods. It was a simple deception so that safety could be upheld. "Good, you have arrived. The king has already boarded one of the carriages before every guard had arrived. Now with you here, everything is in place."

"Clara, why do you have armor and a backpack?" Walker knew the answer already but didn't want to actually hear it. Overall, it felt that the answer would cause a little bit of drama.

"The previous guild master has been taken from retirement to represent the newly appointed branch of the adventure's guild in this kingdom. The current vice master is preparing the new main guild building in the new Genesis city. The current master of the adventurers' guild is about to travel to the city to officially open the new main building and offices." The look on Clara's face said that she felt only victory at this decision. There was not a soul on the planet that could argue against her.

"Congratulations On the new main branch. I'm sure the new building will last for years to come." Thus was exactly what the entire party expected to hear. They had half expected something like this due to the importance of the city being formed with multiple races coming together. They also knew that Ibis was probably fuming mad at Clara since he had stepped down to retire then found himself right back where he was before.

"Your party will be rotating around the entire carriage line. I expect that you will act as necessary and help those around you. On top of this, feel free to communicate any dangers ahead. I know two of you can specialize in scouting when needed." As much as Walker wanted to be the scout, Gil and Midnight could hide away much better with their skills. Therefore, Gil and Midnight stoop at the start of the carriages to begging the journey. Clara took a seat on the front carriage to watch the front as well. She would be sending communications between every guild member there if she needed to. Their speed would be slow, but they were on the move.
