Chapter six

The next morning, Rizzo woke up to find the plate of food he had eaten earlier cleaned up and replenished with another. It worried him a little, knowing that someone could enter his room and do that without waking him up. He hoped to one day be that skilled, even if it was just to make Garen satisfied with his choice to let him into the guild. He ate what he could, and then laid back down on his bed to relax. Not long after, his door opened and the girl came in.

“We just received word that the boat carrying the relic is approaching the dock,” she said, throwing a hood in Rizzo’s lap. “Put that on. It will still be some time before we trust you enough to know the location of the guild.”

He did what was asked and covered his head with the hood. The girl grabbed him by the arm and guided him out of the room and up the stairs to the top. She took him out of the guild and walked down the streets of the Slums.

Once they had made it a good distance away, she removed the hood. He couldn’t see at first, blinded from not having seen the sun in a long time. After his eyes took time to adjust, he looked around to see the familiar streets he had grown up in. People were walking around, but no one paid them any attention as if it was normal for someone wearing a mask to be walking another person with their head covered by a hood down the street.

“Ok, this is where we part ways for a bit,” said the girl. “I won’t be able to move around in the city with my face covered, and I don’t trust you enough to let you see me. Get to a position down the street from the secondary gate where you can see the cart when it approaches. And remember, don’t do anything that can compromise the guild. We are always watching.” She walked away and turned down the first street she came across.

Rizzo waited a few seconds and then walked towards the docks. When he made it to the main street, he propped himself up against a building near the secondary gate. Nothing happened for some time, which he assumed was because it takes a while to unload cargo from a ship and inspect it.

He saw a few small carts pass by, but knew they weren’t what he was waiting for as they had no guards. Eventually, a cart came down the street that could potentially be the target. It was as described, with six city guards around it.

There was still no sign of the girl yet. He looked at the rooftops, trying to get a glimpse of where she might be, but saw nothing. He worried that something might have happened, but as the cart got to the entrance of the gate, he saw two fist-sized black balls fall from the air.
