《Angel's Song: Requiem of the Dreams》61. The Seventh Floor (III)

"I understand. I think I can do something."
"You have an idea?"
"Well, yes."
"Such as?"
"Missions or quest."
Snow realized what he was asking for. The Players did have a habit of taking up Missions with excitement when a good reward was present. They would do many things for such a simple request that it made her wonder if they would even go further to assassination for the right price. Such thoughts made her shiver.
Dairen stopped, he looked around before he jumped up on a crate. A few Players curiously looked over, wondering what was happening.
Snow could feel a tingling of magic draw around Dairen, traveling up to his throat.
Instantly, a blast of pure energy from his voice echoed out into the crowd. "Hey, guys! Snow is calling for help! You'll get a chance to get a mission!"
Suddenly, everybody who was busily doing something all rushed over to Snow in a swarm.
"What do you have?"
"Is this a new mission for a search?"
"I want to do another mission on plant searching! I'm not so good at hunting." A girl spoke out with a glimmer in her eyes. She was busily jumping up and down, waving her hand amid the crowd.
"Quiet!" Dairen shouted with a command.
Snow cleared her throat. Her wash of fear of talking in front of everyone was bubbling up in her, but she quickly squashed it down. She couldn't let such a feeling slow her down on what she needed to do.
"Hey, everyone." Snow spoke, bringing up courage every second she spoke as it got more comfortable. "I need workers, guards, and hunters. You will be compensated for your work, but the main thing I must tell you is that this place must stand."

A flurry of words started to echo out into the crowd.
"Oh my god, I just got a main mission."
"Me too. Me too."
Every single one of them excitedly spoke. Snow didn't know what was going on, but she felt a wave of emotions as she knew that whatever was happening was going in her favor.
"I will compensate you ten gold coins monthly for people who want to be a guard. For hunting down specific monsters, it will be all up later, same with the scavenging for plants that are much needed." Snow continued to explain one after another. "But the most important thing is the safety of this camp." She stressed so that the others understood her.
"Hell yea, look at that experience points and money."
The Players excitedly chattered at the thought of rewards that were to come. Snow could already see a line of excited players that wanted the many other missions that she was about to give.
#####
Snow woke up with a start in the middle of the night. Her mind buzzed with her dream that was still fresh in her mind. Quickly, she pulled out a pen and a drawing pad that she kept for personal use. Her night lamp was turned on as she walked out of her tent in her pajamas. She placed the electric light that brightened a good portion of the surrounding, which caused a few people to groan out in protest.
Her mind was too focused on being bothered by the voices as her hand-scribbled out a drawing. At first, it was just a quick sketch of the placement, and eventually, she started to darken the lines as the picture appeared before her. An angel was flying over the Great wall, looking over a large group of people.

Two people, she recognized, were overlooking the gate walls. A large hole was present, while large four-legged monsters with horns appeared rushing towards the gate. What was much more memorable was a vast divide in the ground itself as a swarm of dark water was filled with fog covering half the land.
She couldn't help but gape at what she drew; the vision was too vivid. Maybe it was her mind overthinking things, but the worry of low supplies, people, and the fall was something she did not want. Even if this wall fell, it was still her problem as it meant that the monsters would come and invade the lower floors. Her friend, Heather, was down below, and she didn't want anything to happen to her.
Placing her paper down, she got up and stuck the paper inside her tent. She didn't realize that the morning sun was already coming up, peeking at over the walls as if welcoming the trumpet of another hot day.
Her steps became quick as she started to focus on the task ahead. She knew what she needed to do, and time was of the essence.

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]
