A Healer, Bounty Hunter and Dragon enter a bar...

Chapter 1

Eva was having the same dream again. Pelor, the god of the sun and healing, began speaking to her once more. He was the one who gifted her the power of healing. She could see a white figure in the distance. Although it seemed small since it was so far away, she could tell the figure would be far larger if she even dared to walk closer.

"Eva," his voice spoke in her head. "You have done well with the power you were given. But," his hand reached out toward her. The arm of the figure stretched far as his hand was placed over her face. "You were meant for something greater."

Her eyes snapped open, as her hand was gently wrapped around her face the same way she saw Pelor's hand. She lifted her hand up, staring at it. These hands were meant to heal, but The gods and goddesses never really tell what path they want you to go on. Being a healer for the people here seemed to not be the path that was meant for her. For years, she has tried to become a healer for the adventurer's guild. Although that wasn't her primary dream job. Eva specifically wanted to become a healer for a bounty hunter.

Regardless, it was time for her to ready herself for work again. Whenever she looked at the time her eyes widened. "Oh crap!" Quickly, she gathered her work clothes. As she stood in front of her mirror she adjusted the buttoned-down white shirt, rolling up the long sleeves a bit. She also adjusted the long blue skirt up to her waist as she tucked her shirt in. Lastly, she brushed her long blonde hair. Although she wanted to cut it, her mother would never permit it.

"Eva dear! You're going to be late!" She could hear her mother's calls from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" Eva hastily gathered her messenger bag which she held essential medicines and healing spells for specific injuries and illnesses. Anyone could hear the pitter patter of her feet before she stopped at the entrance hall to put her shoes on.

Her mother shook her head with crossed arms. "You missed breakfast! At least take some toast with you." Eva smiled brightly at her mother as she placed the piece of toast in her mouth before she left.

"Thanks mom! I'll be back later!" Eva ran out of the house and waved at the neighbors. "Gotta run!"

"Late again?" Her neighbor gave a big belly laugh. His wife also chuckled softly while watching Eva.

It wasn't too far of a walk from her mom's house to the clinic. But since Eva was such an essential worker, it was no surprise that her boss looked furious as she walked in. "Eva! How many times have you been late in this month alone?!"

Eva laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Sorry Mr. Wheeler..."

He pinched the bridge of his nose as he sighed deeply. "If healers weren't needed so desperately and if this were any other job you would be fired, Eva. You know this."

Eva pouted. "I'm sorry once again, Mr. Wheeler. I keep having dreams that keep me sleeping longer than I should." Dreams were always signs from the Gods. Although she does get yelled at often by her boss, he still cared for her like a daughter. He can be harsh, but he is also worried about her.

"I'm worried about you with your tardiness, what do these dreams tell you?" He asked.

"I... I shouldn't say. Mother told me to not talk about them." Eva fiddled with her fingers.

He sighed again. Eva's mother was a pain in his ass, but she has been a family friend for a long time. "Fine, go get to it." He shooed her away. Eva skipped over to her station.

It was a long day, there were plenty of adventurers and even some refugees arriving in their town who needed medical attention. Eva always healed the most people per day. It made her wonder why she was always rejected with both the adventurer's guild and the bounty hunter guilds. At this point she was debating sending some letters to rogue bounty hunters. They worked under no one but themselves. The thing is, they are very stubborn usually when it comes to even gaining a partner. They liked their solo missions.
