The Dawn of A New Sky - DISCONTINUED

Win

"Hm?" The blond haired man suddenly stopped playing to stare towards my direction. His eyes eventually landed on my own. "Great, another brat. Just what I need..." He grumbled off and continued playing.

"Ah, little miss, don't worry about that. Ogi's usually like that." A man assured me. I turned to him with a puzzled look on his face. He chuckled. "Right now he's in a bad mood since he's been losing the game for quite some time now." He said.

"Oh," I muttered. I looked at Ogi and then back to the man. "Mister, do you think that if I win the game for him, he might help me?" I asked.

"Yeah, he might." He suddenly smiled and knelt down to my level. "But little miss, I advise you to not do that. It looks simple but it's actually a - " I stopped listening from that point on and walked towards the man who was playing this world's version of shougi. From what I remember reading, they called it ougi here.

"Argh! Dammit, I lost again!" The man called "Ogi" shouted in frustration. I blinked in surprise and took a glance at the board. No, there's still one move he can make to change the tide of the game. I thought.

"Here," I said as I picked up a piece and placed it on one of the empty boxes on the board. Ogi narrowed his eyes and looked at the location of my move. His eyes flitted back to me. "This brat..." He muttered. "...she's similar to Won in a way."

He sighed and the grinned. "Heh, what matters anyway is that I won. I'm taking my prize." He picked up the bag of coins on the side of the table and started walking. As he did, he took a glance at me. "You said you needed my help?" He mentioned and I beamed, following behind him like a small puppy.

We entered one of the worn-out buildings. He took a seat and gestured for me to take one too. "Alright, brat, speak." He told me in a rude way but I simply smiled.

"I was hoping you could give me information concerning the affairs outside of the Sky Tribe's territory."

His eyes widened in surprise just like Mister Kueng from before.
