Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn

I walked out into the room full of people with Gobby and the room full of people went silent. I looked over for my brothers, but they were already gone, but that was good. It meant that they were going for today's run and so would the other three. I looked at the list and then called out the three names.

"...The Blade Guy?"

"Yup, That would be me right here, yer majesty. I look forward to working for ya; don't let my humble thin figure fool you! I'm a wiz with daggers and small blades, Tim Duncan, but I like The Blade Guy, if that's alright with you, Guild Leader Kiada?"

The man had a drawing accent, and he must be from far up north, but I wonder what he was doing here? The man had black hair, plus a cloak and cloth over one eye of the same color. I would have to assume there was an entire shop worth of knives in there, but she would do, but I wanted to ask a question.

" What's with the covered eye?"

"How about I tell you another time when there aren't so many people around? I'll head out now if that's fine with you?"

"First you need to tell me where you want the Crest? And then you need to go over to our sore excuse for a tree and take your ribbon."

"Oh! That's the tree they are all talking about, isn't it?! Slap it on the check, right there, good Leader!" Blade Guy said pointing to his left cheek, opposite to his right-covered eye.

I was even more curious to know now, but I would let him tell me another time. I reached out and touched his face and thought about the command.

"Oh, that's nice and warm! I'll have to check my reflection on the way by some glass! Good stuff! Ribbon and I...look at that! There are a red and white set now with my name all over them!" Blade Guy said jumping and running to the tree, taking a ribbon, checking his reflection, then opening the window and jumping out.

What a weirdo, well, there was the next one on the list. His name was a bit better, but there must be something about being a soloist that made you have to pick a special unique name.

"Shatter Strike."

"OH YEAH!" came a deep scratchy voice font the back, and people scrambled out of the way as the big and ridiculous muscled body of Shatter Strike walked up to me. Oh boy, that was one big person; I think his muscles had started to develop their own muscle groups!

"So, where do you want your Crest?"

"I would like it on my chest if that is good!" The man said jovially.

I reached up and gave him a Crest and told him to get going. Gobby was really starting to smell bad, and I wanted to have a bath before everyone got here, but then maybe Mei could use a bath with Lesha, and I could get my father set up. I also wanted to convince Leana to come and work here as well, Gram could use the help.

The next on the list was another weirdo.

"Staff Master Keedo of Menjo Koa Tia."

I knew the place and recognized the olive skin and tired look of the western tree city tribe of Menjo, Koa Tia would be his family name, and he wore all green and a fancy traditional robe, but no weapon in sight. I knew that they used special metal spring staves that retracted and how they could use ten or more staves at once.

The man bowed and then gave me the top of his hand. "The crest is good."

Not much of a talker, but I wanted a bath, so after Keedo left I told everyone to come hit the dungeon, but I would pay them this time for what they found. That got a loud cheer from the crowd and they all piled out chanting my name. I had yet to see any bad ones, but maybe they got weeded out already. I would still have to pay attention still, but now it was time to hose down the blood blob.

"Come, Gobby let's go get ourselves cleaned up before the others get here so you can make a good first impression."

"Sure, K! Is it up those crazy stairs? Can I roll from the top, all the way down? It looks like so much fun!!" Gobby said jumping, wafting his odor, so I started up the stairs and he followed.

The Guild was quite big, but most of it was rooms and most up here did not have handles, there was even an entire floor just walled off. I headed to the top floor that was a single white door with their handprints in red on it. One of the handprints was my size so I put my hand on the door, and the print pulsed red, letting the door open without me pushing it.

Inside was a long room with a desk and chair on the left side, then on the right, a set of doors that led out to the uppermost balcony of the guild house. At the end on the right side was another door, but in the center on the wall, there was a fire that burned with no wood.

"K! Is this YOUR ROOM?! Look at the size of the place, and the view, ahh, K, I don't ever want to leave here! Unless you do, but really, where is the bed?"

I ignored Gobby and walked to the front door in a trace. Was this my actual room? Was this really all mine? There were even couches! There was more furniture in this single room than in my entire house!

I was almost vibrating when I reached the door and let my fingers close around the door hand and open up to find a very short hall. It led to a bed that almost filled the room from wall to wall! There were almost four beds wide! My hands were starting to sweat as I turned to the smell of a light lavender perfume and flooded my now to an open door.

Healia was in the bath waiting for me. Mood ruined!
