《Tales of Idiots.》4. Riverwood

"We're here."
The four mercenaries walk towards a gate before being stopped by guards who wield guns. "We'll have to search." The four were searched and then one of the guards asked, "You have any IDs?"
"No, we lost them."
The guard looks at them weirdly, "All four of you?"
"We fought a troll and lost our IDs amongst the chaos," Drake said.
The guard nodded motioning for them to enter and said, "Go to the town square and find the Agency office to get your IDs."
""Thank you."" said Drake.
The four walk through the gate and they were now in Riverwood and admired the views.
Peoples of all walks of life was here. A family was buying some ice cream, a young man was walking his dog, and an old couple was watching pigeons. The grass and sky were clean unlike the polluted sky and dead plants that were common to see in Bronach. Cars were driving downs paved roads.
"This looks so much than Bronach," Lupin said with the other three agreeing with him. "Let's go find the Agency office." And with the mercenaries began walking.
After a bit of walking Basil whisper, "Did we had IDs?
"No, we didn't. Did you think really that the nobles and royal family in Bronach cared to document us?" Lester said. "And why are you whispering?"
"I don't know," Basil said. "Then why did we lied about losing our IDs?"
"Because we would end up in jail and be interrogated and we don't have time for that," Lupin said. "We're at the town square."
The town square had a fountain in the middle, roads that lead to different streets, the town hall, various other important buildings, and the Agency building.

The mercenaries enter the Agency building and walk to the reception desk where they were greeted by the receptionist, "Hello! what is your business here?" She said in a chipper tone.
"We came here to get IDs," Lupin answered.
"Well, you just signed these forms about your birthdate, age...."
*Few Minutes Later*
"And here's your IDs."
The reception handed the four their IDs and said, "Have a good day!."
""""Thank you.""""
They walked out of the building and began to search for the Adventurer's Guild.
"Just where is it." Lupin mutters as he looks around.
"Down the streets and then walk right," Drake said.
"How the hell did you know that?" Lester asked as he furrows his brows.
"I asked the locals."
"What simple answer."
"Where's Basil?" Lester asks as he looks around searching only to find him look at the baked sweets that were behind a glass window of a bakery. "It looks so good..." Basil drooled. Lester grabs and drags over to where the other was. "Don't make a scene fatass," Lester said. "But they look so good," Basil complained. "We'll buy you some later." This satisfies Basil as he let himself be dragged to the Adventurer's Guild where Lupin and Drake were.
"Ya ready?" Lupin asks.
The other three nodded.
Lupin opened the door that led into the Adventurer's Guild and what greeted them was a sight to behold. Adventurers wielding all kinds of weapons, swords, daggers, guns, and etc. The four began walking to the registration desks.
Lupin whistled. "That guy has a Mark-20."
"Mark-20 was designed to be used as a sniper rifle but it is usually used as an assault rifle due to how weak it is and the fact it shoots faster than most assault rifles."

When the four arrived at registration, Lupin said, "Hello, we would like to register as adventurers." to one of the receptionists. The receptionist smiled and pull some forms and said, "Just fill out these forms." The four filled out the Basil and Lester had help from Drake due to them not knowing how to read and write and Lupin did it by himself due to him teaching to write and read saying that a leader must know how to read and write.
After filling out the forms the receptionist took and then handed them a bronze tag. "You are officially adventurers." The former mercenaries silently cheer and were then handed four phones. "These are guild-issued phones that you can use to call for help or send a distress signal and here's a guide on how to use them and a map." She handed them the forms.
The four took the phones, guide, and maps putting them away then, Lupin asked, "Do you know any cheap inn?"
"Turn right four blocks and then turn left until you get to Watson's St and then walk down the Street until you see an inn call 'Cheap and Quick'"
"Thank you."
*A few moments later*
"Look better than I thought."
The said inn had a sign that with dried out paint said 'Cheap and Quick' and was dangling dangerous and the windows was dirty but the inn itself was in good condition.
"And here I thought it would be run down." Lester mused.
They entered the inn.
The inside was mostly clean with some dusts hanging around, four tables and chairs could be seen, the light was mostly coming from the setting sun, a TV mounted on one of the walls and the innkeeper himself was standing behind a table used for bartender.
"Welcome to Cheap and Quick how can I help you?
The innkeeper said in a voice.
"Four room and a meal four each of us please."
"That will be 25 bronze coins and 1 silver coin."
Lester handed the man the money muttering, "And now we're down to 25 bronze and 1 silver."
After being handed the money the Innkeeper went to the kitchen with the four new adventurers taking a seat at one of the tables.
After a few minutes, the Innkeeper came out of the kitchen holding bowls of meat stew and placing them in front of the adventurer. "Here's your meal now eat up."
The four looks at the meal look far better than what they were used to eat with Basil taking a bite and then devouring it prompting the others to join with the innkeeper laughing.
"This is much better than the shit we used to eat back in Bronach," Lester said cheerfully.
The rest agreed.
"Hahaha, so you're from Bronach eh? No wonder you devour those meat stews." The Innkeeper laughed. "Well since I can tell you're going to be staying here I'll introduce myself, I'm Brick."
"Lupin."
"Drake."
"Basil."
"Lester."
"Nice to meat you all." Brick said.
Groaning can be heard with Basil perking said, "Meat?"
"No Basil, that was a joke and a horrible one at that," Lester grumbled
"Hey! My joke are amazing!"
"Amazing my ass."

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.
