Sabrina carefully ate the food nick handed to her and savored the rich flavor that attacked her taste buds in relish.

The guards also ate what they were given no longer caring what anyone thought of them .

Nick watched his group chowing down on the food and smiled since he was comfortable with how things stood in his life .

After everyone was done eating nick settled the bill and brought his small group out onto the street were he asked a nearby man for directions to the auction .

"You there good sir maybe I ask you a question?"

The man was a burly lumberjack looking individual with brown hair and brown eyes and thick facial hair.

"Whatcha want?" The man ask gruffly.

Nick is slightly taken aback by the man rudeness but quickly gets over it .

"Do you know were the auction is being held?" Nick asked as politely ask her can while holding out a gold coin .

The man sees the gold coin and the guards behind nick and the greed that was forming in his eyes goes out immediately as he replies " the auction is being held to the south west of here in a large imposing building " he says while pointing off in a direction after taking the coin.

Nick thanks the man a begins walking with his group in the direction the man told him passing several streets vendors who are loudly hawking their wears.

*DING*

*Abnormal readings located nearby host is advised to search for the source *

*New mission acquired:ODD ENERGY*

*Would you like to accept y/n?*

He quickly fixes his posture as he almost tripped from the sudden notification.

'Show me the mission details.' He commands .

*DING*

*mission:odd energy

Rating:b

Penalty:1 random skill removed.*

Nick looks through the mission details and is amazed at how highly the system seems to value this mission with such heavy rewards and penalties.

He begins going to each of the nearby vendors and looking at their wears to try to see if he can find whatever was releasing that faint energy the system picked up.

Sabrina's and the guards are merely following behind nick trying to figure out what got into nick since he is going to every vendor nearby before leaving while slightly shaking his head.

Nick continues through the street in his quest for the energy source like a bloodhound searching every crevasse for it. After about a few minutes of this nick finally finds what he's looking for on a small mat in an dark corner of a building. Truth be told nick almost didn't notice it as he thought it might have been some homeless man's camp. There was several things scattered around haphazardly unlike the more formal stalls as well as the fact the man sitting on the rug looked like he hadn't bathed in days , he was an old man frail as a stick with brown near black skin and course matted hair with sunken in green eyes.

A dry scratchy voice comes from the man. "You seem to be searching for something yet unable to find it perhaps abzu here has what you seek." He says while grinning showing a full set of rotten teeth.

Nick is very careful after he hears the man 'system does he know about the mission?' Nick asked the system cautiously.

*DING*

*host was acting suspicious so this being may have gleaned some information from this.*

Nick recalls the way he was acting while looking and indeed he was rather frantic in his search for the energy source.

Nick carefully looks over all of the things laid out on the mat , most of the things are just trash like one would expect from this kind of person but one item sets off the systems alarms when he picks it up .

Nick showed the item to this 'abzu' man and ask" what do you want for this thingy"in his most childish manner. One should remember that nick is currently only six .

The man looks at the item with surprise as truthfully he didn't think this child in front of him knew what he was holding. "For you little one a hundred gold will survive" he says trying to sound like it hurts him to sell it so 'cheap'.
