Chapter 13: Revival Tree And Summoning Sickness

"Well, for a first addition to the hall, you really didn't spice the place up," Healia said looking at the sad excuse of a tree that had grown up from the floor with no leaves and only black ribbons and one white.

"This is more important than any of the other things."

"Ah, yes, the Revival Tree is a pretty nice addition, and now you all get those cute ribbons to wear! I suppose that might be something you might have been interested in, but what about the Bar Upgrade?!" Healia complained.

I ignored her, opening up my guild skills, and placed the last two points. One went into Daily Bonus, and now everyone would get a Health and Mana Potion every day. I wasn't sure what mana was, but it must be something useful. The last point went into Members, each point I had would allow me to recruit five more members for a total of twenty points.

I closed the menu and looked up at my brother and Lesha. She was smiling, the other four...looked unhealthy. All four of their faces were almost as white as a clean sheet, and they had worried expressions on their faces.

"What is wrong with you four?

"You're...the Guild Leader now?" Mike, the oldest asked.

"Oh yes! But you four need to get your asses into gear, it's almost lunch and those dungeons aren't going to clear themselves!"

"Yes, Guild Leader!" The four boys shouted with the color returning to them and the life returning to their eyes.

"Don't call me that!"

"Yes, Sister!"

"Grrr, make sure you grab a ribbon before you go, but only take one."

The men looked at me, but then Healia cleared her throat, and they jumped up and raced over to grab a ribbon. I hadn't noticed, but the tree had five more sets of ribbons, and after my brothers left, Lesha came to join me and to take her own ribbon. I was surprised to see that she had grabbed the last of the first six sets of ribbons.

"What made you pick that set of black ribbons?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.

"Black? This was the only set of white and red, and it didn't feel right to take another," Lesha explained as the black ribbon tied itself to her wrist.

"The ribbons only register with its owner, so there is no confusion," Healia explained for us.

"Since you explained things, what is the deal with the summoning sickness, there is a great deal of text, but if you know, then mind saving me the time? For now at least? Also, what did you say to my brothers?"

"Well, come sit down and I will explain, but then you should be going to find more members, like you said to your brothers, it's almost lunch, so it's time to get working Guild Master! As for you brothers, that is between me and them, don't you worry your little black heart," Healia said, giving me a closed eye smile after.

I rolled my eyes and walked over to the table with Lesha, and we took seats across from Healia.

"So, with your current stats, if someone dies, they are restricted from the dungeon for seven days and when they do go back they will suffer a 24 hr Summoning sickness stat reduction of seventy percent. The real kicker is the random effect that lasts for eight days and can cause all sort of weird effect, but they are all bad from what I have seen in previous games I have played."

"Okay, and do I have any goals? Other than what you said earlier?"

"Yes, collect twenty total members so we can upgrade this dump! Because you bought the tree, it takes up all three of your building slots. So, for now, you can only upgrade skill and abilities, and then when you get to twenty members, we can expand this dive and get that new bar!"

"Don't you think there are more important things than a bar?" Lesha asked with a raised eyebrow at Healia.

"Of course there are, but that doesn't make me want it any less! You're the boss now, I'm just a patron of your Guild now, The Red Legion! Has a nice ring to it, and I like your matching breast tattoos! You should try to match them up! Come one, just push them together for me one time!"

"Go make yourself useful and get more chairs and tables, your time of breaking things is over, and now you can decorate the place. The two of us are going to go look for more Members and talk to my father. He will want to hear the news, and I want to see if I could convince him to come and work for us, to do repairs and things like that."

"Very good, my whittle champion is using her cute little brain! One thing, before you go, Don't just let anyone in just because they want to, we are trying to weed the bad ones out."

"If I don't help anyone that wants to join, then what happens to them?"

"They will either go to a different guild or they will leave town, and that is the best option. No matter what in the end you will have to push them out or they will become problems for your members," Healia explained.

"So, then I just say, no sorry we are not looking for your type?" I asked sarcastically.

"No, I want you to flat out refuse them and tell them exactly why!"

"What? Why? You want me to belittle them and call them out on the spot?" I asked now with confusion.

"If that's what it takes, then yes. You are trying to get a reaction out of them. Depending on how they react, is how you will decide what to do from there," Healia explained.

"So, what do I do after?" I asked, hoping to get more insight on what I was supposed to do after yelling at the person, but I was sadly disappointed.

"You will figure it out."


Chapter 14: Proud Father

'Moving up in the world. Good, enjoy the rest of your day, tomorrow you will enter the dungeon again.' -Drania.

Lesha and I were walking to the forge that my father worked at, but I was surprised to hear the raspy voice again. Not that I thought it would just disappear, but Drania wasn't that talkative. Still, How was I supposed to enter the dungeon right now? I need to find more members, and that wasn't the place to start.

'Don't worry about Guild Members, you made a very wise use of your first points. That tree alone with help grow your Guild above the rest, but that means it will attract all types. Head Healia's words, you mustn't let them fool you, there will be many types.' -Drania.

I looked at Lesha, who was looking around the stall and small shops. It was hard not to let my eyes travel down from her sky blue eyes, down past her full lips. I let my eyes travel from her chin, down the curve of her neck, then down into the flood of her exposed cleavage, and blood-red Guild Tattoo.

"The tattoo does look nice, but I think we are the exact same, and we are out in public right now. So, do you mind at least staring at my face?" Lesha said with a soft laugh that made my body heat up, and I turned away in embarrassment.

I had just been caught staring at a woman's breast like a pervert, out in public, what was wrong with me? Thankfully, we were only a short distance from The forge my father worked at, called The Forge, overly original. All you had to do was just ask the owner, Gastbo, and he will tell you that it was him that thought of the name, and all the rest were fake's and cheats. Also, just to be clear, he is talking about anyone who considers their place of work a forge.

"You don't have to act so stiffly, I don't actually mind if you look, but maybe save the starting letter. Your father did say we would have the entire house to ourselves tonight, so maybe we can try that thing Healia was talking about with matching…" Lesha would have kept going, but I cut her off.

"Enough of your dirty talking, pull yourself together until at least we have talked to my father and are far away from his shop?"

"Oh, K, don't be like that! She is just trying to be cute like your mother was with me! So, squirt, what brings you all the way down here? How did things go with...errr...the lady?" My father asked with a bit of a spooked face, and he even looked around after speaking the words, thinking that Healia might be listening.

I wanted to fo and stick my father's head in the quenching bath for that comment, but I let it slide.

"I was pretty good, Lesha gave her a red mark!" I said with a forward stabbing motion with my hand.

"No way! Good girl! That woman needs a good tuning in, but there isn't anyone in this world that could do that, so what does that make her?" Father asked with a curious, not worried expression.

"I marked her, but K is the one that fought her bare-handed! I only got my blow in at the end, but K stopped her in her tracks and tackled her!"

"OwO!" my dad yelled.

He had dropped the large striking hammer on his foot, at the end of Lesha's short description of the fight between me and Healia. After he stopped hopping around he turned and yelled at me.

"HOW IN THE THREE KINGDOMS DID YOU DO THAT?!"

I had never seen my father so charged up like this before, it was like he was a whole other person. He grabbed me by my shoulders, and then looked me directly in the eyes. There was a fire of intensity burning in his eyes.

"And then what happened?" My father asked in a far too serious tone, which belied his normal relaxed and joking manner.

This was more than strange, my father never acted like this, even when the boys moved up in classes, and I could tell that he was on the edge of his sheet in anticipation of what I was going to say next. I tried to talk, but for some reason, the words just wouldn't come out, like I didn't have the air to force them out. I was starting to get a wavering vision, but no, that was tears, why was I crying?

A hand slipped into mine and then another one on top of it, and suddenly I could breathe again, but now the tears were running down my face. I had never seen my father so excited in my entire life about anything as much as he was to hear the next words come out of my mouth. I still was having trouble forming the words and I looked at Lesha for help, and she smiled at me, then turned to my father.

"K is now the Guild Leader of The Red Legion Guild formerly known as Hawk Vision, your sons and I are the first official members!" Lesha said smiling largely.

I was worried at first, and I didn't want to look at him, because he wasn't saying any words, but I was starting to hear sniffling coming from his direction. I turned to find my father in a mess of tears, and I couldn't hold it together anymore. I threw myself into my father's arms as we both cried with joy and excitement.

I didn't expect his kind of reaction, but I already knew what the first question was he was going to ask, but I cut him off before he could open his mouth.

"No!"

"What do you mean, no? You don't even know what I was going to ask!" My father complained.

"Oh? Then tell me with a straight face that you weren't just about to ask me if you could join the guild as a member?"

"Well, you see...oh come on, K! Let your old man join! I can swing a sword!"

"You will join, if you want, as staff in the future. We will need a blacksmith to do repairs and other odds and ends, and I hear from good sources that you are the best around, hehe!"

"You let me know as soon as you're ready for me! You two enjoy the show tonight, you will be alone, all alone, now one to…"

"FATHER!"

"I'm going! Don't hurt your dear old man!"
