Dragon heart

Chapter 2: Dragon Heart

Rose sighed as she looked at the building in front of her. And while she knew to come in with low expectations she still couldn't help but be a bit disappointed at the sight in front of her. The building was small and while it looked to be two stories tall it was barely worth being called a guildhall. The building was clearly old, with wood that looked to be rotting away, the windows were foggy showing that they had aged a bit as well.

There was a small wooden sign above the door with the words 'Dragon Heart' carved into it as well as a symbol of a dragon something that Rose could only assume was the guild's symbol. This building looked more like a local business than a guildhall. Then again she wasn't sure why she was expecting much more. This was a no-rank guild and in this world ranks and status was everything. She could even see a small sign on the window saying that they were accepting new members.

"Not much to look at I know, but it's a bit better on the inside," King said as he walked into the building with fairly little thought behind what he was doing. As he did Rose looked at the building before letting out one last sigh before she followed him into the building. When she did she saw people sitting at a few different seats around the guild. There really weren't that many people in the guild, once again showing just how low ranked this guild truly was.

"I can introduce you to everyone if you want?" King offered as he looked at the female in front of him.

"Yeah, that'd be nice," Rose said as she looked at King. She'd have to meet the other members of the guild eventually, so she thought she might as well do it now. At least then she'd know everyone's names, or at least she would if she could remember them all. King nodded hearing this and began to walk her towards the first figure.

A female who appeared to be a few years younger than her sitting at one of the tables, she had bright red hair, deep red eyes, and seemed to be wearing almost exclusively white. White pants, white shirt, white jacket, the only exception to this rule being a deep red crest on the left side of her jacket, the same symbol that was on the building only further proving it was the guild's logo.

"This is Aisha," King said as he looked at the redhead. When he said this the female looked up. "She'll bristle you a bit but don't let that fool you, she's a big softie," King said as he looked at the redhead.

"Softie isn't the word I would use but . . . sure," Aisha said as she looked at the female in front of her. "So are you a new member?" Aisha asked as she looked at the female causing Rose to nod.

"Yeah, I wanted to join as soon as I could," Rose said as she looked at the female in front of her.

"Alright, well nice to have you on board. We're not much at the moment but still, it's nice to have you. The headmaster is out at the moment so you'll have to wait before you get registered," Aisha said as she looked at the two in front of her. When she said this King looked at her.

"Igetis isn't here? Why?" King asked clearly confused by the question.

"He went to see if he could get a few more missions. I think he's putting in for some basic extermination mission," Aisha said as she looked at the two in front of her.

"Speaking of missions mine was bust, newbie here cracked it before I could," King said as he looked at her.

"Nice, at the very least you won't be a no rank starting out. Taking out a former captain might even get you up to rank two, possibly even three if you're lucky," Aisha said as she looked at the female in front of her.

"Rank?" Rose questioned as she looked at the female in front of her.

"Wow, you really are new to this aren't you," Aisha said as she looked at the female in front of her causing Rose to blush a bit with embarrassment. "Well, your rank is kinda like your reputation among other adventurers. The higher rank you are the more well known you are, and the more likely you are to be respected. And on the contrary, the lower rank you are the fewer people will know about you and probably won't care about you," Aisha said as she looked at her.
