Meanwhile, just when Lumina was getting ready to sleep, she felt a ping stirring in her head and reised it as a way for her shadows to let her know of something important she wao know. Looking through the spiders eyes, she saw that receptionist was extremely nervous as she was talking te muscur man in what was a deserted back alley of what looked to be the slums.
This man had short brown, messy hair with a predominant scar running down his right face, a long brown cloak hiding his body. "Well?" His voice, low and chilling made the receptionist squeak in fright and tremble before she took a sed to respond.
"The target mao get away from the sgers, I don't know if they had any friends alongside them but it seems that when they came back, they did so with the help of the knight anders hiddehe secretary let out a word vomit hoping that the man uood.
"Hmm, it seems we o let the sgers know and hopefully send a rger force this time. If they are uo do even this with a rger force, then it seems we may o do it ourselves... Let Ternahe messehis time to the sgers, I bet the leader of the sgers wants to give an elf boy body a taste."
After the receptionist, the mahe back alleys of the slums out of the receptionists sight so taking this opportunity, Lumina decided to put the spider into his shadow unknown to both the receptionist and man that there was a wito this versation.
Lumina, back at the inn was seething at knowing that the attacks were just going to tinue a worse. Feeling sied, she remembered what Sylvia said about tinuously killing until you bee numb. Having an internal struggle, Lumina finally decided that instead of nipping it in the bud, she could use these attacks as a whetstoo keep her skills sharp at all times ao sleep uhis thought.
During a new dawn, Lumina awoke to a refreshing stretd got dressed for the new day after having a bath and breakfast which was a simple mutton stew. She then headed for the hunters guild and was just preparing to search for the mission board whewo faced receptionist came to her with what looked to be a new 'mission' that Lumina believes to be arap.
"Hi there! There is another mission to the west which requires a huo go along with a small team of schors to visit pears to be a newly found ruin hidden within the jungle. Are you up for it?"
Lumina, hiding her anger behind a smile merely replied in an overly sweet tone. "Sure that sounds great, but what are the possible rewards for pleting it?"
"The reward for fully pleting the mission to satisfa is getting enough clears for a total of four equivalent missions and a moary reward of thirty silvers. In the worst case, it will only amount to one reward mission clear and the moary reward." After the receptionist said this, Lumina made it look like she was ruminating it over when she already decided to take this mission.
"Sure I'll do it, I imaging that I will be meeting the team soon?"
"e this way, they are waiting in a nearby room." After saying this, she then walked down the corridor to a room on the left, opehe door and motioned for Lumina to step in.
Onside, Lumina saw a small group of people waiting upon her, either sitting down or standing up leaning against a wall. The group sisted of a few skinny men wearing what looked to be robes decorated with emblematic symbols that Lumina doesn't know the meaning of, a couple of women who also looked to be apprentiights under knight ander An and... Ternan.
Ternan looked like his usual smug self except Lumina noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes, slightly reddened and puffy while every now and the his lips and winced when he moved. Oh... He really did... "Hello, you must be Lumina I presume?" Cutting her out of her thoughts one of the schorly men got up and approached Lumina for a handshake. He had greying hair, a ly trimmed beard whilst wearing what looked to be a golden trimmed monocle on his right eye.
"Yes that would be me, May I know who you are esteemed gentleman?" Shaking his hand, Lumina subtly plimented him which made him have a small smile upon his lips while the other two schors looked like they were trying to hold back their ughter.
"My name is Arthur, a neantic ruins schor and as I'm sure you have guessed by now, the ruins that we are going to are supposedly rui behind by a neancer family of which we should be able to find out whie and the history they left behind."
Hm, iing, maybe I too learn more about what I'll be iing through this. "Sounds good, maybe you could teach me more while we jourogether as I too am ied in the old nations history myself."
Ohe introdus were done and out of the way, everyone came to the clusion that it would be best to set off soon but make sure that everyone has supplies for aerip, thus Lumina had to end up going shopping for supplies alongside the two knight apprentices who informed her that An was aware of the suspiciousness of the mission, ahem to help protect her just in case.
Lumi grateful at his siderations but was unclear as to how much they knew about her abilities, therefore decided it was best to not inform them that she was a neancer and that she will fight using only the bde if it came down to it.
