The Falling Star

Chapter 4

"What the fuck is this shit!" Someone looked at the foul mouthed girl surrounding the board not very filled with papers she had blonde hair, bluish eyes, and pointed ears "Sorry Azura, the adventuring squad known as The Voidmen has already passed through this guild hall to say the least." Someone at the bar groaned "Assholes stole all the fun and money making jobs." Azura gripped her first tightly "maybe its time for you and that kid Liam to stop soloing together." Azura bit her lip "We've been on our own for so long... I've hadn't thought of joining a group." The bar tender sighed he emptied and cleaned a glass cup and poured something into it "Your a mage and a fairy, he's a knight just out of apprenticeship, one wrong move you could get the boy killed or worse." Azura shook her head she brought her hand up "Just hand me a mission and nothing too childish. Me and Liam's been together since childhood we don't need anyone to tell us how are lives should be managed." The man sighed he pulled out a crumpled paper "Just when opening some old lady said she's been hearing a bunch of shit in her basement, one day she went in and saw something a tunnel. Your job is to go and check what's in the tunnel." Azura nodded the man offered the paper and she took it turning around she left the land outside was quiet yet beautiful the town was originally a fort so it hadn't been very big the only buildings that weren't here before seas the market district but even then it was a few stalls. Luckily for her the place her and Liam had been staying at was just across, so she walked across from all the people family's and children and even other adventurers guild member she walked across the to a rather beautiful looking exterior to an inn she opened the door to a giant bar fight she groaned walking over to the front bar area "Kid appeared earlier he's up in your rooms." Azura nodded she headed towards the stairs and started heading upwards, her room door was open a crack she quickly swooped in just to find a kid lying on the bed he looked towards her with a smile the kid was around 13 with short black hair and tired red eyes his skin was a sickly pale "Your back sis!" He quickly sat up turning around he jumped up he ran to Azura but she quickly blasted him lightly with a wind spell "Liam what'd I say?" The boy stopped resisting the wind and stood straight stands 6 feet away from Azura he looked to the ground with a frown Azura sighed walking towards him she went down to his short level "Sorry kid... You just remind me so much of him." Liam frowned "I'm sorry." Azura smiled caressing his cheek "don't say sorry, it's just can't believe it's been four years since his death." Liam looked over at a picture of a not very much older boy smiling "Mom didn't have enough money as payment so she gave me to you the years before." Azura nodded she stood and turned towards a window "Best not dwell, as today we have a mission." Liam perked up he gave a smile "What is it!" She smiled "It's probably just your average tunneler, or her house built on top of a tunnel but we have a tunnel to search."
