In the World of Black and White

Twenty-One: Old Friends

Lilith and I talked for about three hours at the inn. Then I rented a room because she was tired. I was sitting at the bar when a mysterious guy sat next to me. "The game in this forest is very scarce recently. I can hardly find a elk." He signaled the bartender for a drink. "I hope you find something soon." He removed his hood and looked at me. It was my old partner, Concave . "I thought you were dead." He laughed, "I can't die that easily.You shouldn't be in these parts Shadow. Many here want you dead." "I'm here on business." "What sort of business?" I didn't want to tell him. If people found out Clover was in these parts, she would be in danger. "I'm look for someone." He got this intriguing look on his face. "For the company?" "No. For me." Concave let out a sigh. "You always have weird reasons." "You always had a weird name." He laughed. "By the way, it's not concave anymore. My new name is Walcoff. Had to change it after leaving the company." I took a drink and wiped the remaining liquid from my mouth. "So what do you do now? A smirk grew on his face. "I'll show you." He got up and walked to the backroom behind the bar. I followed him to see him at a bookshelf in the corner. He tugged on one and the wall slid up to reveal a staircase. When we reached the bottom, there was a massive camp filled with soldiers,rogues,assassins, and more. They all bowed for Walcoff as he passed by. We approached a tent that had an insignia on it. It was an angel with one half normal and the other destroyed. The inside of the tent was beautiful. It looked better than the throne room of the royal castle. "What is this place?" I asked him. "This is the new underground. This is Havanna."
