Third POV - Girl

  The girl opened her eyes. The now familiar scent and body warmth missing from her day. She sits up in disappointment and looks around. It was quite easy getting here. There were no guards nor anyone else around. It may have been because it was at night but she thought it was weird that there was no one outside. She knew what she had to do. She decided to not ask any questions st night just. So, she only had today to gather information.

  “Okay!”

  The girl hypes herself up and decides to leave her room. She bumps into someone.

  “Oh. Sorry.”

  The girl looks up and sees a woman. She was just slightly taller to her but what caught her attention the most is the mask. The girl did not know what the mask is but Athena would say that it looks like a fox mask. She also had garments simir to the ninja outfit that Athena was supposed to get.

  “Who are you?”

  Her voice was hard to describe. From her body, you would know that she’s a woman but her voice makes her sound androgenous. Somewhat simir to those that hide a person’s voice.

  “You can call me G! I just got here st night and I don’t know about the pce.”

  “G? A weird name.”

  “Hehehe. Sorry, it’s a nickname.”

  “Whatever. Just don’t cause any trouble.”

  The woman walks away and the girl stares at her for a bit. G was a nickname decided by Athena. The girl accepted it.

  “She would like her.”

  Knowing the taste of Athena, the girl knew that if she ever got her hands on that woman, she would be doing something to her. The girl continued to leave the inn and arrived at the reception. This part of the inn also works like a tavern and has tables and chairs. Most of it was empty aside from one with a party of 5 people. There were 3 men and 2 women. One of the women calls out to her and she approaches them.

  “Why is this pce empty? Isn’t it morning?”

  “Most of the people are away.”

  “Away?”

  “Yeah. Do you see that building over there? That’s going to be the adventurer’s guild here. The person in charge left with the others to finalize it. We are here to check the pce and wait for our branch manager to arrive.”

  “Wow. That’s cool.”

  “I know, right?”

  The party of five introduces themselves to her and she introduces herself as G.

  “So, what’s your story?”

  “Well, I had nowhere to go so I was just wandering. Then, some bandits wanted to capture me so I ran. I heard a lot of noise and I found this pce.”

  “Yeah. I know what you mean. Everyone left st night so it was pretty noisy. Well, don’t worry about anything. If those bandits get here, we can take care of them.”

  The girl believed them. The real problem is those bandits aren’t few so they could be overwhelmed by their numbers. As they were talking, the woman with the fox mask returned and went towards her room.

  “Do you know her?”

  “Oh, you talking about her? Nah, we don’t know who she is. She’s been here for a while now but no one knows what she is doing. Most of the people here ignore her though. One guy got too near and he got his jewels kicked. Nobody bothered her after that. She hasn’t done anything bad so they just let her be.”

  “Have any of you talked to her?”

  “I did but she just stared at me and walked away.”

  “Oh. She spoke to me earlier and her voice sounded weird.”

  “Weird?”

  “Yeah. I can’t even describe it. It was just weird.”

  “Well, even if it is, let’s just respect it.”

  “Okay.”

  “So, what do you pn on doing, anyway?”

  “I don’t know really. How long will you be here?”

  “Us? Well, our branch manager should take around 2 or 3 days to get here. But it could be longer so I don’t know.”

  “Oh. Okay. I pn on leaving tomorrow. I don’t know where I will go though.”

  “Why don’t you just wait here for now? Once all of this business is done, we can escort you to where our branch is. If you’re going to start over, the big city is a good pce.”

  “I’ll think about it.”

  “Great. Want us to give you a tour of the pce? Truth be told, we’re quite bored so you would be helping us a lot.”

  “Sure!”

  The girl spent the day with the party around the soon to be town. She made sure to remember all of the details that she could. There were a few men around but most of them were not here since they all left.

  “Bye!”

  “Bye!”

  The girl didn’t see the one with the fox mask since the morning but as she is walking back to her room, she was standing at the end of the hallway looking at her. The girl tried to talk but the fox mask never replied. Eventually, she entered her own room and id down the bed.

  “Whew.”

  The girl was slightly disappointed that the now familiar scent and body warmth was still missing. The girl had plenty of time today thinking about her future. Nothing she said for the day was a lie. She had nowhere to go and nothing to do. So, she decided that staying with Athena would be her choice for now. Whatever happens in the future will be up to her future self to decide. The girl wasn’t good with any future pnning anyway and prefers to live one day at a time. With her worries gone, the girl sleeps with no weight on her.

  “Zzzz.”

  What the girl didn’t know was that someone had been watching her. A certain fox masked woman. She watches the girl sleep for quite some time until she leaves in silence.

  “Oh no! I overslept!”

  The girl hurried and left the town. Heading to where she wanted to be for now.
