Journey for The 10 Gemstones

" Hello to Vale! "

A guard suddenly barged into the tent, his pose bold and brave. He seemed to have a special badge on his shoulder... Could he be the commander of this base camp?

He had brown, wavy hair. Blue, calculated, and sharpened eyes. And a brown beard, suited in a high-status Empyrean armor.

He'd scoff, seeing the mess we created while trying to find intel and complete our operation of Pass the Plan. It had tools scattered around, crates forced open, ripped clothes seen, and resources like wood scattered around the floorboards of the tent.

" What were you searching for, Low-ranks? "

Noah would frantically be scared, as he'd shiver at the sight of the commander. His eyes were shaking, paranoia washing over him like water seething through someone's body. His face was a mirror of paranoia. His brown eyes would shiver, his tan skin getting goosebumps, he was practically so scared. He could confess the operation at any time. I luckily stopped him by covering his mouth.

I'd stand up to him, My boots are still shaking in nervousness. I'd now stand up boldly against him, like a mouse against a cat. Nervousness was washing over me.

" Uhh... It's... We're searching for our weapons! We have an upcoming mission. "

The man laughs out loud, chuckling and laughing nonstop As if he had seen a comedian telling a joke.

" Hahahaha! I can't stand it! Just.. go to the weaponsmith! ”

He said, trying to hold back his laughter against us.

His tone shifted from laughing to a hint of anger relishing through his face more quickly than someone could ever shift their emotions.

" CLEAN THE COMMUNAL BATHROOMS! OR ELSE WE'LL SEND YOU OFF THIS CAMP! "

He said, In an extremely authoritative tone and manner. Like he owned this place, I could tell from his glare that he was serious, and an unknown punishment would be bestowed upon us if we went against or restrained his orders.

Noah and I were shaking in our boots before we quickly got cleaning supplies and ran to the communal bathrooms while running through the grass. The sounds of torches sizzling, the sounds of Empyrean guards chattering, and the sounds of dust unsettling as we ran. Fear stroked on me as that commander said his words, His authority was on another world.



The communal bathrooms were dirty and stinky. And only had one bathroom, there was scattered dirt on the floor, rats everywhere, and dirt everywhere. There was also vomit from previous cleaners and rat poison. It was the definition of disgusting. If disgusting was a word, I think it would be these communal bathrooms.

Cleaners would be seen sobbing and shedding tears, some trying to avoid it, and some vomiting at the sight.
Some were banging their heads, and some were even begging to get outside. The stench filled the air more quickly than ever imagined. I looked over to Noah; His face was visible green; that's how bad the stench was.

Suddenly, A seemingly young woman bumps into a stone wall. She had brown, long hair. There were tangled hair strands, dirt was visible and dandruff was everywhere. She seemed poor, wearing a dirty maid outfit, and her amber eyes were visible. But, she seemed pretty dumb after bumping into a stone wall like that.

" OW! " She said, rubbing her head aggressively; she winced in pain and almost cried. She ran around in pain, her long brown hair waving through the stalls.

" Ugh! Bad stone wall, bad stone wall! " She said as if she was arguing with the wall like her mortal enemy since birth; she continued to punch it aggressively. Instead, She got sore knuckles.
