Charlie already took a seat from across the room, with Claudia standing beside him. Richard trudged over to the other side of the table and had a seat. The only other thing visible was a small desk lamp.
The back of Richard’s skin crawled, like he’s being interrogated in the police station. That uneasy feeling, especially with the info he’s hiding, made his stomach do twists and turns. This guy couldn’t be involved with them, right? So, why was he at unease? Was it the way the boss looked when serious? The atmosphere in which they’re doing the interview? Charlie rested his elbows on the table and his hands on his chin.
“Are you ready?” He asked with a sly smile. “Answer these sets of questions truthfully.”
“Alright,” Richard replied.
“First off, why did you want to apply here?”
“Well, I hadn’t found any places that seemed like I could handle them, so...”
“Why not B.E.E.S.?” Claudia suggested. “So many people go there.”
“That’s not true...” Charlie thundered.
“Then why are they not coming here—?”
“Well, I tried to apply over there.” Richard interrupted. “But their wages weren’t good, and I wasn’t ‘good looking.’”
Claudia adjusted her glasses. “But would you have considered if—?”
“Um, I don’t know—”
“Claudia, that’s enough!” Charlie slammed his hands on the table, making them both jump.
“I’m sorry.” Claudia lowered her head. She looked over and noticed Richard staring at her. “What? Do you not think I make a good assistant?”
“When did I give off that vibe?” Richard questioned.
Charlie explained she wasn’t too trusting of other people, especially those she’s never met, before continuing with the interview. “Have you done any other jobs in the past?”

“Oh, well, I worked part-time with someone in the retirement home.” He gripped his pants before continuing. “Her name was Emily, she’s a carefree worker, tough, but kind-hearted, and cares for other people. I do love helping her out, but sometimes she can be pretty strict, or I don’t feel like it.” Richard’s eyes grew misty-eyed. “Even so, I miss her.”
“Sorry to hear that.”
“E—Excuse me?” Claudia raised her hand and spoke up. “Richard, was it? Did you say, Emily?”
“Yes, why do you ask?”
“Uh, never mind, it’s not a part of my business. It’s probably not who I thought it is, anyway.”
“Look, I’m sorry for ruining things. I don’t think you’d want to hire me now...”
Charlie chuckled. “I like you, and I need more workers, so—”
“Are you serious?” Claudia asked. “No offense, but this guy doesn’t seem to have much experience. What job would possibly fit him?”
“Don’t worry, I got an idea.” Charlie reached to shake Richard’s hands. “Congratulations, you got yourself a job!”
“I do?” Richard let this sink in as he stared at his hand. His face brightened up. “Sweet! Thanks so much!”
As the group headed out of the area, Fawn loomed and watched, thinking about what just happened. That interview didn’t seem all that stellar. Yet he got the job, no problem. Hm…

Once everyone arrived back at the main lobby, the group caught Kelly beside the counter, shutting the computer for the day. She took out her bag and pulled out a green and black tracksuit.
“Hi Kelly, taking a break?” Charlie asked.
“That’s right.” She placed the tag that said ‘out to lunch’ on top of the desk.

“Any idea where Ken is?”
Her smile faded. “Not here today, I’m afraid.”
“Again? I see that’s too bad. Do you know when he’ll be back?”
“Not a clue.”
Charlie thought about it for a while before responding. “A-ha, I know who can give our new employee a tour! I’ll be right back!” He exclaimed while jogging off.
Richard approached Kelly with a smile. “Hey, guess what Kelly, I got the job!”
“Well, I could tell by your expression, but congrats,” Kelly chirped.
“Thanks, so when you finish your break...”
“I don’t know when that’ll be the case.”
“Well, when you return, maybe we could—”
“I’m back!” Charlie interrupted from a small distance. “Are you coming?”
“But I wasn’t done with—” Richard declared, then sighed. “Never mind, I don’t want to stall any longer.”
“It’s ok,” Kelly replied. She waved, showing off the ring on her finger. “I’ll see you later.”
Richard’s smile fell off as he watched her walk away. He shoved his hands in his pockets and headed over to follow Charlie upstairs. There wasn’t time to feel like this.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.
