Chapter 2
Zainia, the dominating country on this continent has its castle located in the centre of the country, in the capital city, Velothi. Other than the royalties, many big families locate here, these include the four main families, each specialise a different class.
The four different classes include warrior, magician, archer and shadower. In Zainia, children at the age of eight are to test their element and choose a class they wish specialise in. Of course, only families with sufficient amount of money can support their child in the costs of all the trainings and weapons. Each class is classified from rank E to A and with the exceptional of S-rank, which are ones even stronger than A-ranks.
Crowbark Street which locates just parallel to Appleville Street is one of the busiest streets in Velothi. It’s famous for its range and variety of products; you could buy stuff that cost just one bronze coin or spent over thousands of gold coin from buying a single piece of clothing. But Crowbark Street isn’t just known for shopping, it’s also a place where hundreds of business men meet each day to negotiate and sign contracts. So even at noon, when the sun is the strongest, the street is still filled with people, girls shopping, business men walking around and some…quiet unusual people.
In the centre of Crowbark Street where thousands of men, women and children walk past each day, stands the statue of the first king of Velothi, Leandros, who’s pointing his massive sward towards the sky as if he’s swearing to protect his land and people. And right underneath the statue, stands a girl with aqua blue hair, ocean like eyes and with a piece of aquamarine glowing silently on her flawless forehead. Everything about that girl seems to represent the ocean, in the dazzling heat, her existence brings a scent of coolness. From the way she dress to her shocking beauty and her upper-class aura, many people secretly imagined her as princess who came to see the normal human life. But her next move took this imagination away, she held up a sign that said:
“Female, 18 years old, looking for a job that can provide food and shelter”
Pisces is standing in the busiest place in the busiest Street, holding the sign. She believes that very soon someone will come and offer her a job, and then she will be able to eat all dessert she could find in Appleville street and…when Pisces has fallen into her imagination, a man in the age of forties wearing an old fashion gold frame glasses which seemed too small to be any use walked up to her.
“Beautiful lady, my name is Johnson; may I have the pleasure to offer you a position that could provide you with delicious food and comfortable shelter” He spoke with a harmless smile on his face.
“Oh! Of course, my name is Pisces” She said with a big smile on her face, her plan worked out so successfully, and then she added worriedly, “What job is it, would it be too hard for me”
“No! No! It’s very easy! And perfect for a beautiful lady like you, all you need to do is stand in a certain place and smile.” Said Johnson
“That sounds pretty easy!” Pisces said giving a sigh of relief; it’s probably like a waiter kind of job except she doesn’t need to walk around with food.
“Yes, my lady may I show you the way” asked Johnson.
Pisces nods and followed him towards to giant building. They walk in from a side entrance and Pisces was lead to a big and comfy room.
“Please enjoyyourself here, the food is on the table and you’re welcome to take a nap on the bed, if you need any help just ring the bell. When we need you we will tell you, before that, please enjoyyour stay.” The servant said politely and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Pisces rushed towards the nicely presented plate of deserts on the table. Taking a carful bite at the delicate piece of cake, Pisces sigh with satisfaction. Before she could take a second bite a small purple figure stood in front of her, blocking her sight of the cake.
“Pisces! What are you doing” Piscean stared angrily at Pisces. She knew her instinct was right; Pisces once again did something that was not smart!
“Eating of course, these desserts are so nice!” Pisces said while smiling not knowing the anger of her familiar.
“NO! You just followed some strange old guy to an unknown place,you don’t know how evil some of those humans are, they could lock you up and sell you as slaved!!” Piscean shouts while flapping her wings madly, as if that could release her frustration.
“Don’t worry Piscean, Johnson is really nice.” Pisces said, her eyes gleaming with innocence. Innocence! Why does such thing appear on a goddess Who is supposed to be wise and intelligent and respected Piscean rolled her eyes helplessly. She probably should just go back to sleep and ignore whatever Pisces decides to do, since she wouldn’t listen to her advice anyways. With such thought, Piscean turns back to a violet and refuse to communicate with her master.
“Piscean” Pisces asked “Are you ignoring me again” the lone violet remained silent…
Not soon after Pisces settled down, someone knocked at the door.
“Milady, please follow us, it is time…” A tall slender man with a mask dressed in a butler suit asked “We have some preparation to complete before you are ready I’m afraid.” He said again with a monotonic voice.
“Um,yes of course” Pisces said, wondering what work is it… getting ready Ooh, does that mean she gets to wear one of those pretty waitress uniforms
Pisces followed the masked man down the long corridor, she tried to observe every piece of artwork as she walked but knowing Pisces’s clumsy personality; it really is impossible for her to do two tasks at the same time. She slammed right into another person.
