Chapter 13: The Town

This was the first time I was going to the town without anyone with me before I always went with my father to the town to sell the crops and other things we found around the forest.

My options were not many, I could hide within the city and move on, or I could turn toward the guild asking for help, but then again I do not have a lot of money, even after taking everything I could at the home I left behind there was not more than maybe 1 gold coin, little did I know silver was worth a lot in this town, one gold is around 100 silver, a decent quest at the guild is around 20 silver, the hardest being around 50-75 each, for very special occasions they would be up to 1 gold coin, I made up my mind I would enter the town and go directly toward the guildhall requesting help with what happened.

I came closer to the gate from the forest, as the guards on duty saw me they recognized me instantly from the last time not long ago, they welcomed me back to the town asking me if I was coming in again to sell the crops or maybe something else they found like usually, I shook my head as a no toward the friendly guards, I tell them I am going toward the guild to make a request and that I was in a hurry because any more days and who knows it could be an alive or dead situation, the guard lets me pass since they have seen me a lot of times before, as I rush toward the guildhall, I see some strong men inside with swords some huge some small some multiple swords on the side or back, also woman with bows and daggers, a few looked friendly at him, most ignoring him, as a woman yells toward him in a calm voice ''can I help you?'', as I explain the situation and what happened at the house, she looks shocked clearly not hearing this before, as I explain I want to make a request for help, as one of the big guys behind him hear him seeking help, ''I can help'', ''what is the pay?'', as I say ''I do not have a lot'', as the big guy replies, ''Do not waste my time''.
