Chương 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!"
