To The City

The next morning, Hakar was preparing to leave the scales village. Together with several residents, they left for the village gate.

After reaching the village gate, Hakar asked the Scales tribal elder

"Elder, will Edgar really come?"

The elder answered

"He said he would come, so we wait a little longer"

Then, a brown-skinned man approaching them. Because the man had a skull tattoo on his right cheek, Hakar and his three colleagues looked alert.

"Don't worry, this is me Edgar"

Said the man, who later changed to Edgar after removing the bracelet in his left hand. Then, he returned to the form of a skull tattooed man, after putting it back on.

"Edgar?"

Ask Hakar.

"Hoho, I don't know if you can Change your appearance"

Said the Elder.

Edgar answered

"This is my mother's legacy"

"So you seized their carriage?" (Edgar)

"Yes, we decided to use it, rather than selling it"

Said the Elder.

"And also,"

The elder called a girl.

"She's my grand daughter Moa, please take care of her"

Said Elder to Edgar, when he handed a girl to Edgar.

"What does this mean?"

Edgar asked.

"Yes, since childhood she wants to see the outside world. So, it would be better if she go with you" (Elder)

"What???" (Edgar)

"You may marry her, if you want."

Said the Elder with a smile.

"Something must be wrong with your head, old man" (Edgar)

Hearing his words, Elder laughed

"Ahahahaha, this is Edgar I know"

"Moa, introduce yourself"

Said the Elder to Moa.

"I'm Moa, thank you for saving my village,"

"Please, let me help you"

Said Moa who blushed.

Then, Edgar turned to Hakar and his colleagues. And seen those who had been looking towards Edgar turned towards the front.

"Ah whatever,"

Said Edgar who then handed over a box he had brought in his bag.

"This is a Guardian, put it in the middle of the village, then this thing will protect your village from criminals"

"You can also use it for fighting practice, by pressing the button on it."

"But you will definitely lose if you fight it"

Said Edgar.

After handing it over to the scales tribal elder, Edgar went on a horse-drawn carriage.

After saying goodbye to Elders, Moa and the group left the village.

(Moa POV)

When I was little, I saw a woman coming to the Scales village. He came with Grandfather, and Along with her a child with green skin. I do not know whether she is the child of the woman or not, but clearly he looks scary, because his teeth are sharp.

Realizing my presence, the boy turned to me. Out of fear, I hid behind the wall.

The next day, I didn't see them, and I heard they were going to the hill because Elder did not allow them to live in the village. From that moment I was curious, what things were out there. Someday, I want to see it.

But tradition in my village forbids women from going out of the village, because bad things can happen to us. For this reason, I asked my father to teach me sword. My father wants to teach me, but he still prohibits me from going out of the village.

Until one day, a bandit band attacked our village. Our knights including my father were overwhelmed to face them because they had strong magic.

When I tried to help my father, he banned me, and told me to hide. I want to help, I don't want to be quiet and just look. Then, my grandfather said to me

"On the hill near the village, there is someone named Edgar, he might be able to help us" (Elder)

"Do you want to look for him?" (Elder)

After Grandpa said that, I immediately ran to the forest to find Mr. Edgar. When I left, two bandits saw me, and they chased me.

I tried to run as hard as I could on the hill, until my feet tripped over something. At that time, I was scared, I had practiced swordsmanship, but for some reason I was scared when I saw the two bandits.

And when I was desperate, Mr. Edgar suddenly stood behind me. When I first saw it, I thought he was a forest guardian monster. But, when he approached me I realized that he was also Human.

I have never seen someone as strong as him who can defeat a group of Bandits alone, even without a wound. When he saw him standing with a sword in his hand, my heart said

"I want to be with him"

(3rd POV)

After a few hours, they arrived at the destination city. After passing the inspection at the city gate, they separated. Edgar, Hakar, and Moa went to the Odd worker Guild. While the villagers riding the horse-drawn carriage went to the city market.

It didn't take long, the three people arrived at a big enough building. And in front of him was a sign that written

"Alphard Guild"
