Chapter 1: Arrival Part 4 (final)
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Chapter 2
With the end of the day, came the end of the guild trials. Those who had participated in the assessment were called over one by one and explained in detail their strengths and weaknesses by their respective guild leaders. It didn't take long for Maeve and Bishop to be called upon their turn.
To no one's surprise, the fact that Bishop was so focused on keeping Maeve from entering combat, he himself took the front of the attacks. Thus receiving much more damage than necessary.
"You two are partners.. you need to rely on one another. If you can't trust your team mate to handle their part, you'll undoubtedly end up majorly injured. " One of the guild leaders, a Luxray, scolded Bishop.
Maeve held her head low, knowing what came next was rejection. If they didn't pass this test, the two of them would be on the streets.
"That being said," He continued. "Wanting to protect your friends is never a bad thing. There will be plenty of activities to bring your team together."
The other Guild master, a farigiraf, nodded in agreement. "Make sure you stop by the infirmary on your way to your new living quarters." She gave them a wink.
Maeve shot her head up in surprise, looking her in the eyes.
The leaders chuckled. "You passed."
On the other side of town, Matilda and Grub we're touring the Renegade Guild hall. Their first destination? The dining hall!
Their reward money from joining the guild went straight to buying the pair some dinner. They stuffed their faces before returning to their new room. They would enjoy a blissful night on their new beds, then start on any jobs they could find to earn more coin!
Things were looking up for team Lockjaw.
After receiving news of her acceptance, Thistle dashed back to her bug partner who watched over their traveling merchant cart. She excitedly told him every detail of the fight. She described the guild leaders and her admiration for the one named Waterbaby. A legendary who ran a guild? What a wonderful use of ones powers...
Perhaps, she could use her own to help heal the world.
With the new place in the Renegade Guild, Thistle could start earning coin for dungeon exploration. Not to mention all the cool things one could find in those dungeons!
The newly joined guild members all had big plans for their adventures. All different in many ways, but all sharing the same goal. To find home.
