The Furious League

Chapter 2

His training was finished.

By the time Zythern got out of a cool shower and changed into his usual robes, it had already gotten dark as he went outside. The sky was clear black, with the first sights of sparkling stars shining in the sky along with a bound system of stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter, that of a very impressive galaxy.
Making his way down the still crowded streets of Xihri City, the black and green dressed angel let his eyes wander around the nicely lit up buildings and the people that entered into restaurants or gathered around kiosks of shop workers that offered goods.

Styx was always at work during the week.

She has a very importnant job, having the honor to work for the God Artehrea as a receptionist inside the Artemis Palace.
Artehrea doesn't come out of her palace often. Only one or two times a year, she will join in certain customs and traditions their Fallen Artemis culture is born to do. It is a chance for the God to meet and talk to the public, however, if you work for her inside the palace, it is no problem for you or her to interact with eachother.

Having the job as a receptionist, Styx's task is to take in reports from various soldiers that are sent on different seperate missions. For example from Spies, which are the most often to come to state their information they gathered from their secret missions. There are also Explorers, split into smaller functions, that are sent into an unfamiliar area to ascertain strategic features.

Slowly approaching the towering building of the palace, Zythern wasn't aware of a running man that appeared out of nowhere behind him, accidentally bumping into the black and green angel's shoulder from behind with a quick mumble of 'sorry.' before continuing onwards.

Zythern is an Explorer himself, which he is very proud of. He loves going out to adventures, may they be dangerous or not. He's one of those people who never back off from finding something that would define treasure to them, especially for it to be a new discovery.

Every soldier has their own working hours throughout the week – divided into day, afternoon and night shifts. Some worked in a week, others only on weekends.
Zythern's schedule was only on weekends. On Saturdays he went out in the early mornings, meanwhile on Sundays at night.

Entering the edifice, Zythern wasn't surprised to see several soldiers that were dressed up in stealthy inconspicuous robes with a red scarf tied around their wrist, no doubt mistaking them as Spies looking in their early twenties who were freshly out of an academy training, gathering around to discuss tactics for their first mission. He watched curiously as the energetic young spies chatted merrily to one another ready for their 'night shift' to start. He had seen them several times in the Spies' training area that wasn't very far from here, with their trainer that teached them all they need to know and control, may it be their physical skills or weapons.

Zythern glanced over to a large round reception table in the middle of the room where much older Spies crowded around. Right now indeed was a great time for experienced and professional Spies to get their missions and go out to secretly collect information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy or competitor.

The place where the missions were reported was on second floor.

It was no problem for Zythern to slowly make his way up the stairs and hallways; silently greeting the people that nodded to him in return. Many know Zythern as one of God's favourite explorers, for he discovers new planets and looks in their environment, which is very useful to the Fallen Artemis' to get to know more about the other outside worlds. Also known for his previous visits that he usually pays his sister, figuring him to be a very caring and loving brother.
