Kage had to step to the side of the hustle and bustle of the entryway.
She slipped past a building right by the entrance and behind a couple merchant's stalls who were trying to coax over travelers as they entered and breathed a sigh of relief. She made it.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioKDkEOKrq
She let the relief wash over her for a minute before putting her guard up again and taking in her surroundings.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHLp3GmKi4
Most people who made it through the gate kept going right through the outer area into the area behind the second wall.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOU2Gz6w3y
The first wall was decrepit from age and battle, though it still stood tall and strong to a certain point.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAmKyc1YQV
This must have been the poorer part of the city, it made sense since this was the part against the outer wall.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ao782xiN
Past what must have been a barracks or outpost for the city's soldiers on either side of the gate and the merchants probably strategically placed to hide the less attractive buildings, the houses here were made of wood, or stone on the lower levels, and stretched up the wall in scaffolds and stairways giving them a haphazard and dizzying appearance.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zhQprgIW
While she would have rathered to explore this area of the city more, she clenched and unclenched her fists before turning back into the crowd toward the inner layer.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfw44FbyZ9
She had to get a feel for the whole city, learn the ins, outs, how to behave, and how she was possibly going to survive here. That would mean work of some kind, and people don't often like to give work to obvious outsiders.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYn4FSXB4w
The entrants to the city. She spotted the two from the entry line again, back on their horses now.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwiYYpDWP
They were almost in the second layer now and soon disappeared into it.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UT4eUiRq
Kage followed the direction, pushing past a mule and a couple merchants wearing bright colours.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKuZBAvjW5
The inner layer started to unfold ahead, and to Kage's surprise it revealed that it was not in fact the inner layer, but the second layer. On the other side still tall even in the distance, the third wall stood, just as tall as the other two with even less sign of wear.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzaM7keh7L
A marketplace stretched out before her on either side of the inner gateway. This area was packed with shops and stalls of all kinds and everyone entering this layer merged with the crowd of the marketplace.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTdyM4rdhq
Kage did her best to avoid bumping into people, but as she weaved around not looking for anything in particular, the anxiety built up like a fog over her mind. Every shout and shopkeeper's call made her spin her head in their direction, and the murmur of the crowd drowned out her thoughts.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hWbf17ADE
Her fingers tapped in an erratic rhythm as she struggled to focus. If the crowd was too much, get outside. She made a beeline to the area behind the marketplace, in the direction of the inner city. The bustle ended abruptly the minute she passed behind the last row, where stone buildings replaced stalls. People still passed by, mostly carrying crates to the market area, and she could tell they payed her no mind which was a great comfort.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZq0ENcH4r
The hindrance was that this while city was like a circular maze. Judging by the curve of the marketplace, if she had stayed on that path she would have gone all the way around the city.
"This is the kind of thing I can figure out when I'm not panicking." She thought bitterly.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOyAL9ltt
Her wandering took her no place in particular, she passed by a couple smitheries, a carpenter's shop, all the background places to the market. The houses here were shorter and sturdier than those in the outer layer, which gave her a better view of the walls surrounding it and helped her sense of direction.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fjTQsYJYE
She didn't necessarily want to go further into the inside of the city though, not only would that take a while judging by the distance of the inner wall, the most affluent area would probably be in there, and that was not somewhere she would fit in.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqzICFFUmD
This area too, was more residential now that she was outside of the market area. While she didn't want to go back, the same problem came to the front of her mind: "What am I going to do?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu2dfcoaPr
The obvious answer was find work or starve. But that didn't make it any less daunting. Where? And how? One thing was for sure though. She wouldn't find any answers lost in a residential area.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdQMh4v4iv
Instead of trying to retrace her steps, she changed direction back toward the second wall. "It should take me back to that area eventually." She reasoned.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2dPGJrvNq
It did, and after the distance she'd wandered, the marketplace was thinning out in the place where she emerged.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rbMQTspMw
A couple of taverns and shops that were buildings instead of stalls, including an armour and weapons shop were the kind of buildings in this area. What caught her eye was a huge building with the title "Adventurer's Guild" in huge golden letters above the entryway. The building gave off a presumptions and tough appearance, which meant she would never cross those doors. 397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvezEQADicS
On top of that, it meant that the people on the streets here were more intimidating than she was willing to handle.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649w1CAAGx
A feminine figure in a dark blue cloak, a massive man carrying enough weapons for six people, a group of five in matching black and red cloaks.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3F3JwynN
None of them even glanced her way, but she quickly got moving again, heading left away from the direction of the market.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGJEjZj4z4
"Perhaps that's a bad idea. Should I turn back?" Kage thought. But without a plan, it didn't matter much which direction she walked, and that thought nagged in the back of her mind.
So, she paused again, this time resting against the wall around another guild, the Apothecary's guild, the Adventurer's guild just out of sight around the curve of the city.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3sZVRlE6I
It was nagging at her. The thought that perhaps a vague-sounding place like "Adventurer's Guild" could be her best chance at finding some kind or work. Many parties she'd watched had had a page of some kind, and the truth was, she could fight.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sFy7P1gTQ
She was familiar with quests and adventures, having watched different kinds of quest for her entire life. Familiar with, but with no experience of her own, except...No, that didn't count.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvJRd6zDv6
"But there will be dangerous people in there." Her thoughts cut in. "Trained fighters, magic users, and you don't know anything about this world's magic."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTW0CDmczp
Though that wasn't going to change by her standing around. But as she racked her brains for another option, nothing came to mind. It didn't help that the more she worried about it, the more her thoughts got muddy and confused.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUXjO9f2l
She put some movement into her feet again, back in the direction she'd come as she tried to clear her thoughts, or at least get a grasp on one that made sense.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNZJU9iGSL
She peered ahead as the Adventurer's Guild came back into sight, the afternoon was passing, and the traffic was starting to clear up. The woman in the blue cloak was still there, possibly waiting for someone, and Kage hoped she wouldn't notice her passing by and coming back again.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkDimumhw1
The building loomed in front of her once again, banners of many different colors and designs decorated the thick stone walls, and a pair of carved, intimidating wooden doors marked the entrance, one open and one closed.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhsfSfM7dp
As she slowly approached the building, she could see the design more clearly. On those curves were some strange letters, or characters, similar to the ones on some of the banners. While few had an image, like a white hand on a black background or a horse on a blue banner, many were decorated with strange curved symbols that appeared to be some form of writing. Not the primary method of writing, however. The signs in this city, including the inscription above the door, were all written in plain English.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGYCrK7581
"It's the girl from the gate!"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ra55IFOh
Kage's thoughts were cut short, and her head shot up to see the two boys from earlier exiting the open door, the blond one still with a cheerful expression waving to her, but the other visibly annoyed.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxmrdpMn4a
She had a better opportunity to notice their features now. The blonde one was much taller than his friend, but that was because the dark-haired one was on the short side, perhaps only a foot and a half above Kage.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6wmOCkQC1
The blond one wore an old-looking brown coat and simple clothes with sandaled feet. He carried a sword across his back and a pouch at his side. Though his hair was short on the back, his bangs covered his forehead and two strands of hair hung in front of his ears.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphFStkLD0V
The black-haired one wore a dark vest that looked thick, like some kind of armour, over a collared white shirt. He carried a sword as well, though more of a short sword from the look of it. His asymmetric bangs hung over the right side of his face, and though a bit harder to see, he had a small ponytail tied with a dark blue ribbon.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKul2AH09w0
"Forgive me, but you don't exactly seem like the adventurer type." The tall one approached her.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxiIgrnDu
"Well, not exactly." She spoke, eyes darting around before eventually meeting his eyes. "But I needed work of some kind, and thought this could be the place to come."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKpsxefHSq
"C'mon Shole, let's go." The other started to walk past.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLsr2ZiLB
"Go on ahead. Meet you at the inn?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Krp246ZmQ
"Huh? What for?!" he spun around.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe4Y4hiHdw
"Trust me." Shole smiled.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5lyEdDyG1
The dark-haired boy raised his eyebrows, but sighed, rolled his eyes, and stomped past them into the city.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6PC4o3YZ4
Kage shifted uncomfortably, and Shole noticed. "Oh, obviously if you want to get out of here that's up to you. I guess, I just wanted to talk to you about something."
"Oh, and don't mind my friend, he can just be rude sometimes." He continued, without waiting for her answer."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDCgx55LWZ
"What about?" Kage asked. His demeanor was a lot easier than she'd noticed from any of the other people in this area, and she was not in a position to turn down any options.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTORuS61VfJ
He smiled again. "Well, first of all, my name's Shole. And you are?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN0Uk9JduB
"Kage."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue0wWf3DRr
She took his extended hand and shook it. His hands were calloused, probably from using his sword.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDD9yuFHwz
"Well, as you can see, Artlem, my friend-" he clarified, gesturing after the dark-haired boy, "-and I are looking for some help with a well, a quest of ours. And it may seem a bit strange, but you stood out somehow, and I usually have pretty good intuition about this kind of thing."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fmtk1RKFL
She wasn't sure how to respond to that, but he seemed to be waiting on a response.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG3aieKGFu
"Um, what kind of quest? Like you said, I'm not exactly a mercenary."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT1XrgJYX1
"That's exactly it. You see, we do need to recruit a 'muscle', but there's something else we're looking for that no one yet has had." He shrugged. "I think we were expecting too much of one person."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00mRkHO4DM
"And what is that?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9FWNFc9uK
"Well, what do you know about Calligriphics?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5myQUKmY
She'd never heard of that before. "Nothing."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5PTRfUTI
His face fell. "Oh. That's too bad."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HlTmcYmvL
His brow furrowed. "Well, what about your memory?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0hDP8sn3o
Well, that had been her entire occupation.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLljqtJCw
"It's very good, actually."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGWwGNyGfh
His face brightened again. "Mind if I test something out?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JneqUAtrD
"That depends." She said, concerned.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqxF6lGWi
He chuckled. "It's nothing special." He motioned for her to follow and made his way off to the side of the entryway as a couple other people were leaving the building. He leaned against the side of a wall and pulled out a simple book from his pouch. Kage followed, and noticed that the current page was blank, though scribbles showing through showed that this was more of a journal than a book.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaN4H7Spif
"It's just a memory test." Shole continued, rummaging through his bag. "I'll trace a pattern, and get you to write it in the exact same way."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvDxdvaVUg
He pulled out a charcoal pencil and handed it to her.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacskGx0LTS
Kage accepted it, moving to his side where he held out the pages.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBsKV0r1c
"Alright, you ready?" He asked.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5R4GkcGuU
Kage nodded in response.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeB8agZwOy
Using his index finger, he traced a strange character over the center of the page. Even though the trace went in different directions and occasionally doubled back, he kept it in one stroke.
He finished, and held out the book to her.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRxp8Nb1Eg
It wasn't hard, though of course it would have been easier if she could actually see what she was drawing.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gC67Qigks
She started in the upper right just like he did, and every movement filled in the character from left to right, top to bottom.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn7iFScblC
The finished character looked similar to something from Earth.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK41xVKH9rC
"That's amazing Kage!" Shole said. "Almost perfect, and I'm sure it would be if you had seen the character for reference."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXahywpObB
Exactly. She nodded.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc18vS7Okm
"How about a more complicated one?" He said, turning the page.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygPS3V27nw
"Sure."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKJGrf0KMA
He traced out another shape, keeping the same steady pace as before, but this time as he got to the bottom of the character, he continued the stroke into a second one.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRCO9pYwAX
She raised the pencil and followed the same stroke, making the two characters thinner so they still appeared as one just as he had done.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzXeXtH6Yo
"Great!" He turned to another blank page, and traced out another character.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9vhdtxT0z
Kage drew, following the stroke which took more twists and turns than the previous one.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeCfS2sBC7
He traced out a total of ten different characters, Kage getting used to the patterns and rules associated with this language every time.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWwsv3mPxY
"Alright, one last one." He said after the tenth character.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVRkinlMg0
Kage nodded in response, though he questions about the purpose of this were growing.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyj02rRJAe
"Can you remember the first one you drew?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLHDX6c49I
"I think so." She nodded. At least the first was the easiest out of them.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ynO9KgxJ
She started from the top left and made her way down, doubling back a couple times and keeping it all in the single stroke.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNKDK6xeiL
She looked up to Shole to see his expression, and he was grinning ear to ear.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA5QyvSKJU
"You're right, you do have a good memory! Much better than the others we tried to recruit!"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jl1f4MQfC
"And recruit for what, exactly?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDVRk21Nrl
"Hm. Well, I'd have to discuss with my friend before sharing too many details. It's a bit secretive you see." Kage noticed he carefully considered his words. "We need someone with a good memory to help us...find a couple Calligriphics. Though, I guess you said you didn't know what that means."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS96tLx8HSA
She nodded.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOvoCndfcn
"Right." He paused. "They're certainly less common now, though I still would've thought everyone knew about them. Where are you from, Kage?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeOtUpf6xk
She froze, but only for a minute before remembering her entry story from the gate.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXldJ8vxwR
"I grew up on a small farm outside the Dust. There was a fire, and I made my way here."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU34YYOB0L
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to..."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9vDLhg0l0
"Don't worry about it." She gave a small smile, though she hated lying.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iUhTknJfN
The silence was awkward for a minute before Shole continued.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykz18zPnz
"Well, fair disclosure as well, this quest of ours may be dangerous, though we're not expecting anything too crazy." He scratched the back of his head.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtmSL30DV8
"What do you think, Kage? I'll tell you a bit more about Calligriphics on the way to meet Artlem if you think it's something you'd be interested in. Of course, anytime until we make some formal agreement you're free to walk out."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHBOGyFcK
She wanted to think about it more, but chances were this was the best option she was going to get. With no knowledge of this world, no skills in a trade, and no money, and offer like this might actually be good luck for a change. The secrecy was a little suspicious, but, she could always back out once she heard more.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveftrtxp6O
"Okay, I'll come along." She said, pushing some determination in her voice to hide her nervousness.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dxUMOFyNt
"Great!" Shole smiled again. "Well, the two have a rendezvous in this layer, it's an inn in the north area." He said, replacing the book in the satchel at his waist.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUTTJRt9wa
"Shall we go?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCp992mAad
"Sure."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgn5kmxW2P
"So, Calligriphics is an old magic language, one I've been studying since I was a child."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ghcnQ8Nt
Kage and Shole walked the main road of the second section, continuing through the worker's area. Shole didn't seem to know this area very well, but seemed to be following instructions on where to go.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZP3ODI9Xl
Though she didn't fully trust Shole, she had no reason to distrust him either, and it was so much easier to walk with someone else.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcPgwrGft
"Wait, so I was writing in a magical language?" She exclaimed.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVnsxfO0K
"Well, yes." He reassured. "But there has to be intent behind the Calligriphics. On top of that, charcoal isn't reliable for writing it, because the stroke can be so easily broken."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvz29DLzWX
She nodded, though still perturbed. "I still would have rathered know that beforehand."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsIQxhHDMp
"Sorry! I guess I got carried away. Most people still know about Calligriphics, even if they don't know any."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Syn8hxJe
He waited for a minute to see if she would say anything else on the subject, and continued when she didn't.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhk7Y1NFss
"It's basis is on the meaning of the character, the one stroke, and the intent. The more complex the character, the more power you can draw."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUHP2S0UHq
He must have noticed Kage's eyebrows furrow, because he quickly elaborated.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4MSclGipy
"Say you want to draw up water from the ground. You could write the character for "water", and that's pretty much exactly what you're looking for, but it might not specifically draw it out from the ground. In order to make it more specific, you might want to use the character for "draw out". And that character does exist, there are so many Calligriphics that no one knows them all, and many are certainly lost forever to the sands of time."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbilistwY5p
"And you know a lot of these?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yk2ugklSX
"Certainly not as many as I'd like, but I've studied them for quite a while, yes."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkESL0wIWyd
"Then why do you need me?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIEHLKZRgJ
He paused, and Kage couldn't help thinking he looked a little guilty. "Well, I can't really explain that part. Without my friend's approval, that is. He is the leader on this particular venture, and well, for reason I'll hopefully be able to tell you soon, we can't have word of it getting around."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYx32LEqp
"Is that why you couldn't find anyone?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt6rRMsDH0
Shole blinked for a minute. "What makes you say that?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM1Hj40tWX
"Well, your friend didn't look too happy. And he didn't seem to think I'd be any help, so I'd assume you wouldn't be asking me if you had someone else in mind."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPi1kfAjfH
Shole sighed. "True, that reasoning makes sense. It's not a good sign if we look desperate though."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lDBPEKUg3
"Well, not desperate, just..." She tried to walk it back.
"Don't worry about it. We're not exactly experts at this. Though, that probably makes us seem even more appealing for teammates."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO5EjK8NaC
"Depends on the money I'd imagine." Kage said aloud, thinking of how many people she'd seen go along with a crazy quest for a chance at a good paycheck.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZtkyr3AK3
"Well, that's what we're hoping." Shole smiled.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYJcSV3Vt
His smile was innocent and unassuming, giving off the impression of someone who would't harm a fly, but the sword on his back said something different, so Kage kept an eye on her surroundings.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyhDb8gKX8
There were fewer people as the sun set, the orange part of the sky barely visible above the walls.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRq6aSAFcM
They soon turned off into a smaller road, and not long after arrived at a wood and stone building with the sign hanging over the door reading: The Falcon's Nest.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhTekpKS6b
Kage hesitated for a minute as Shole ascended the three steps to the door. It sounded crowded and noisy in there, and she had not yet set foot in a building since her arrival in the city.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuZ6VHfEYd
Shole turned back and met her eyes, trying to read the expression on her face and her tapping fingers.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMJZf8XBf
He held out his open hand. "Coming?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3PlnvyIc
Kage took one step forward, and then silently ascended the rest of the stairs, through the door which Shole held open for her.
