《Eliminator》Chapter 11: Escort Mission
Advertisement
Scout had arrived at the guilds HQ, when he got there it was busier than he last remembered, he asked around and it turns out that a caravan arrived and hoping to hire the Free Wing Mercenaries for escort. Scout did not care much, so he went towards the guild hall and looked if there were any jobs, then someone grabbed him and a familiar voice spoke.
"Hey, Scout right?"
"Yeah, good to see you again Baron"
"Good to see you too Scout, so how about another mission?" Baron asked Scout
"What kind of mission?" Scout replied
"You've seen the caravan right? Its gonna be an escort mission, its gonna be a big one, they're planning to hire 50 people"
"Whats the catch?" Scout asked with uncertainty
"What do you mean?"
"Well 50 people is a bit too much for 1 caravan right?"
"They have 10 carriages man, and it's only half a day trip, it shouldn't be too hard, and besides, we have an A class coming along so that the mission won't fail."
"How much is the pay?" Scout asked again
"10 gold per person, thats a lot of gold for half a day"
"Alright" Scout nodded
"Okay cool, head over to the gate, we will be leaving soon, speak to the A class, his name is Cyril he will inform you more of the situation, I just have to repair my equipment and ill be right over"
Scout walked towards the gate and sure enough he saw the 5 wings in one mans arm signifying that he was an A class, Scout approached the man and said.
"Id like to join the escort mission."
"I see, whats your rank?"
"C class sir"
"Hahaha no need to be formal, alright what class?"
Scout hesitated for a moment and said
"Assasin"
"Okay, have you been debriefed?"
"Only a little, all I know is that were escorting the caravan to somewhere"
"Yeah, there is a bit more to that, were actually escorting them to an open field, they will be pioneering a new village, were helping them so that when they become a city, we have good relations with them."

"I see"
"Okay, get ready, we will be leaving in about 10 minutes"
Scout then went to the guild blacksmith and got his armor repaired, and he came back to the gate. There was not anyone there yet so he decided to rest below a tree. One by one people gathered and sure enough after 10 minutes, everyone was there. The guild had gathered 30 C class, 19 B class and 1 A class.
"Alright listen up! C class, like always you guys will be doing most of the work, but when things get tough we will take over" Cyril said with a loud voice.
"YES SIR" all of the C class replied
"We included you C class because the monsters won't be that of a high level, this will good experience for you, and do note that the B class will be watching you, so impress them and you might just get a promotion. B class, I will be watching you" Cyril exclaimed
"HOORAH" everyone roared in unison
"Okay lets move out, spread out evenly throughout the entire caravan."
Throughout the entire journey, there were some monsters that would try to attack the caravan but they would easily be killed. The halfway mark was a very thick forest with lots of trees.
Scout was walking up on the tree branches so he had a good visibility, over to the side of the road which the caravan was using was a slope, and up on those slope Scout saw something, it was a blur at first but after a couple of seconds he can finally picture what he saw.
"BANDITS UP ON THE SLOPE!" Scout shouted
Everyone came to a complete stop.
"ARCHERS! ARROWS INCOMING!" Scout shouted once more
"SHIELDS! Warriors, shields up!" Cyril shouted as the rain of arrows came pouring down
The entire guild shifted towards the side where the slope was, they had about 25 warriors lined up with shields.
"Mages and archers, return fire! Warriors, slowly advance upwards!" Cyril shouted. 9 mages and 10 archers returned cover fire.
"Assasins stealth up and flank the enemy! HURRY! their warriors are coming down! Cyril again shouted.

This was Scout's cue, he went into stealth along with 5 other thiefs/rouges. They hurriedly started running towards where the enemy archers were, there were about 50 archers. Scout was the first to arrive behind enemy lines and started killing the archers. They were easy to kill, they had light armor on so only a couple of stabs on their backs and they were dead, Scout killed about 10 archers before the rest of the assassins popped up and started killing the rest of the archers. In about 5 minutes all of the enemy archers were dead.
All that was left were the 100 warriors, but by the time that they finished killing the archers, only about 80 were left, so they ran down the slope and started killing the warriors as well. In about 30 minutes, the fight was over. All thats left was the bandit leader, which was very persistent. Even the B class would have trouble with him, but Cyril instantly killed the bandit leader with a few swings from his big sword.
"Any casualties?" Cyril asked
"None" one said
"Don't think so" another replied
"The caravan?" Cyril asked once more
"All good" One of the people in the caravan said
"Okay good, by the way, who was it that warned us about the enemy?" Cyril asked
Scout did not want to stand out or get recognition so he slid down his mask and said.
"I think it was one of the people in the caravan"
"I see, nonetheless, without that warning we would have lost some people and some carriages." Cyril replied
They started looting the bodies, there weren't much, just some white tiered armor and weapons, also some loot that can be sold to stores. Scout got 2 levels, he did not keep track of how many he killed, all that mattered to him was that he got some levels and was now level 30. After the fight Scout noticed that his daggers were slightly giving off a dark aura, but it was hard to notice since it was already black, but he looked closely enough to actually notice, so he inspected it.

The dagger levels up according to the level of the user, Scout.
Scout was shocked, it has been a while before he checked the stats of his daggers, and last time he checked his daggers were still white tiered, now they were Green tier and giving 2 bonus attributes.
'WOW this thing is amazing, I knew it was good, but to be this good . . . ' Scout was staring at his daggers blankly when Cyril ordered everybody to move out.
After a couple more hours of walking, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Thank you very much, heres your payment" the caravan head handed Cyril a bag of gold coins and Cyril distributed it to the troops.
"Thanks for the business, alright guys, were going back home, lets make it before midnight and have a party!" Cyril shouted and riled up all of his people.
"YEAH!"
"WOOOHOOO"
"LETS GO!"
"LETS MOVE OUT" Cyril shouted
Scout and the other mercenaries got back to their home and they were headed straight to the guild hall where the bar was. They were partying, they ate good food, sang joyous songs, drank good beer, and dancing to the tune.
Scout sat down near the bar and had a few drinks of his own.
"Long day?" The bartender asked Scout
"Yeah, long day, thanks for the beer" Scout said his goodbye's to the bartender and went to his room. He went right to bed and logged off.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

My Intergalactic Boyfriend
Rae is an 18 year old boy, with "Fluffy Cat-Like Ears and a Tail", who is going into his senior year in high school at the lowest point in his life. Rae has been relentlessly bullied and tormented for his entire childhood because of his physical differences. When Rae's last bit of hope for a life with meaning is crushed, the Cosmos decides to send him a guide to help him find his Purpose and grant him Love. First and foremost this is a Science Fiction, Fantasy-Adventure story. The story has a strong "Slow-Burn" Gay Romance sub-plot (Male x Male / Boy x Boy) that is central to the events in the story. (i.e. Characters are not going to fall in love with each other immediately.) You will likely find that the pacing in the beginning is intentionally slower than some other stories. To some it may even resemble a slice-of-life / school-life style story early on. This is intentional and is my personal choice for character developement and world-building, but I assure you there will be plenty of Fantasy and Adventure later in the story. Hopefully, the various mix of elements will appeal to a wide range of readers. This story is published only on: RoyalRoad / Tapas / Wattpad This story is published only under the ScreenName: SpuriousSimulacrum
