Will would stare down the long bridge again of him, just off on each side a small section pokes out holding a metal basket with a fire within the basket, rectangle cutouts are all throughout the basket held up from the ground by peg legs. "This might lead to something dangerous, I have to be careful"
Will would make his way down the long bridge, occasionally glancing at the fire baskets wondering how they are still lit. Sometimes a dust cloud would come over and interrupt his thought but the bridge would be surprisingly dead. Almost near the end he would be reminded of the sun above, it would be really hot almost like a hot summer day. "Are there even seasons in… What did he call it Gaia?" Will would look up to the sun and blockit with his hand before moving up the ramp leading to the location. A sign near the walkway would read 'Sentinel' Will would pay no attention to this sign and continue on his path to the location, into the walkway he would be created by a small courtyard and to the left was another walkway, walking into that walkway he would finally see it.
Before Will would lie a city with many box-like houses made of the same tan material, it seems to be a cramped city with multiple roads and shops that would align each location. "How am I expected to find anything here?" Will would continue into sentinel cautious of his surroundings and who he would see. In the city of sentinel Will would see many Haseldans much like himself, he would also see people with almost black skin and yellow eyes, and even a person who would look like a mechanical machine. He would be fascinated by the amount of people and different kinds of shops in this city. One shop would finally catch Will's eye. 'Sword and Armor Shop' Will would think to himself, what would a sword be of any use? The old man said I would never have to worry about death. Will would enter the shop.
The shop would be surprisingly empty, a teller sits at a table near the back of the shop. A furnace is in the corner of the shop and along the walls are small tables where swords are on display. Will would walk over to the swords, a label is above them "Bronze sword", "Steel sword", "Mythril sword." Will's eyes would read each of them and now in the room he would look over to the right to see the armors, each armor would be a basic steel armor with the plates, shoulder pads, and helmet. Will would think, it will only slow me down, I don't think anyone would use such heavy armor in this world. Will would be concentrated when he would feel a slight tap on his shoulder.
An unknown man behind him would say, "You must be just born! Welcome to Gaia!"
Will would turn around to see that 4 men had entered the shop and were all dressed in various adventurer-like attire with swords and one even had a knife. Will could see that 3 were Haseldens and 1 was the black and yellow eyed race he had seen before.
The man that Will could tell was similar in age would speak again, "We were stopping by to look for someone to join us on finding more trinkets and treasure."
Trinkets? Treasure? What does this all mean, does this mean there are ways to make money?
"Of course we would buy you some gear to make the job a bit easier, we don't want you getting hurt"
The man would wrap his arm around Will in a friendly way.
Will would speak, "I am slightly confused, are you part of some guild? Are you part of a party?"
"No, we are just like most people trying to find a way to make money!"
The man who approached Will would almost be like a leader of the group, he would have medium length hair that was brown Similar to Will's the other men would all have short brown hair in various different styles.
"My name is Ajax, the others are Bertram, Colt, and Daryl. What is your name?" The man would stick out his hand with a pouch
Will would take the pouch, "My name is Will, I am a Haselden."
The 4 men would laugh, "We know you're a Haseldan, everyone of us is but Daryl who is a Rigan."
Rigan?
"Now let's get you suited up, you can only afford a bronze sword if you want to afford the knights armor or the assassin armor after, I would suggest the knights armor."
I can read the prices, I can see the other armors are just as cheap and I can still afford the sword. What is your plan here, Ajax?
Will look at the Assassins armor, "I will take the Assassins armor, seems the best for agility. I think I can move well wherever we are going."
Ajax would look slightly disappointed and say, "It's going to be dangerous, are you sure you don't want real armor to protect you?"
"I don't need protection, I want to be able to escape if we get in a bad situation."
Ajax would smile and point to the teller, "It's time to go ahead and buy, we need to be in and out before sundown."
It's the first time anyone has mentioned night and day to me, it seems this world functions the same as I can remember even though I can't remember anything.
Will would buy the items he was instructed to and would be left with about 3 spare coins from the shopkeeper.
"Ajax, I have a question." Will would try to keep up with the leader of the group.
"What is it?"
"I want to know what these coins are, are they the currency of this world?"
Ajax would smile at Will, "Those coins are known as Silver and they are basically the way of the world. You purchase everything with them from food, to clothes, to the very weapon you have on your back right now. Once you start getting your own Silver you will realize that it's the most precious value to you."
Will would look down at the coins left in the pouch.
"Will, the place we are going is known as the crypt." The 4 men would walk down the docks to the side of the sentinel ramp and look out to the grassy area across the bright water.
Ajax would jump onto a boat placed at the dock and pick up the oars inside the boat. "From what I heard from the locals, the crypt is full of treasure but once you grab them the door shuts, that is where you come in, Will. I want you to enter the crypt and grab as much treasure as you can and come out." Ajax would signal for the other men to get on the boat. All 3 men would drop down into the boat.
Will would stand at the top looking down at them, Is this guy insane? Thinking I would just enter a place where the door locks on me? "Ajax, I will enter this place if you come with me, I will not be going into a place where the door shuts unless you come with me."
Ajax would look up to Will a tiny bit surprised, "We are giving you this option for the first pick on the treasure!"
"Ajax, you will give me my cut either way, if you're so scared of what is inside it's best you take your men alone."
Ajax would look visibly upset and his voice would change to a slightly worried tone, "We are wasting time, get on the boat or you're staying behind!"
Will would jump onto the boat, it would be slightly cramped due to the five people now on the boat but Ajax would row towards the island.
It would be a bit of an awkward trip, nobody for the whole ride would speak to each other like Will or Ajax had killed the mood, or it's that they knew something the others didn't know.
They would park the boat near a tree on the island and Ajax would tie it to the tree.
"I am sorry, Daryl, we will be letting you go inside the crypt."
Daryl would look up his yellow eyes with an angry expression, "Are you serious, the deal was-"
"THE DEAL IS OFF, YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE OF US WITH A SPEAR AND THAT IS LONG RANGE IF THEY REALLY ARE INSIDE YOU'RE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE, STICK TO THE WALL!"
The 3 men of his group start to shake in fear, Will would look at Ajax concerned.
He just raised his voice, I knew they had a plan up their sleeves.
Ajax would catch his breath after screaming, "Go Daryl, we're gonna be rich right." Ajax would give a smile as he would say it.
Daryl would look back walking ahead, "Yeah." Daryl would stop at the door of the crypt looking in.
This whole area is covered by trees and it's dark, torches are at the door of the crypt but you still can't see inside. The area is split off by tiny islands compact together meaning to get from each island you would have to jump.
Daryl would enter the dark place, the door behind him would slam shut and Ajax and the group would immediately rush over to try to pry it open with their hands, Ajax would use all his muscles while shouting, "Don't be stuck! No, no, no, wait!"
Will would stand confused at the sight before him.
Seriously, what are they idiots? Did they not think this through at all, why did I even come with them? I need to just take my leave.
Ajax would look back to Will, "Help us ov-" A shriek from beyond the door and inside the crypt would be heard from all the men there, an inhuman shriek from 4 or 5 creatures. All the men now there would be in fear, even Will.
What the hell have I gotten myself into, I should have never come with these guys. What was I thinking? I am going to die if I stay here any longer.
Will would start to fast walk towards the boat, "Don't you think we should get out of here?"
Ajax would shout back, "We can't forget Daryl! He will never forgive-"
The door of the crypt would open and the 3 men would turn their heads back to look inside. Silence, empty, and dark. The men wait in anticipation for something, anything. They would continue to look inside before-
A loud shriek would exit the dark hole they were staring into and multiple people running would approach the doorway, the men jump back from the rectangle of horror and ready their fighting stand. Will would also ready his fighting stance and finally they would come out, 5 people like monsters with black eyes and dried out lips and dark purplish skin would exist in the darkness and one would approach Will who would block the attack!! He would enter a struggle of life or death!
