The city welcomed us cordially. The smell of fresh pastries, shopping malls with fresh vegetables and fruits. As well as the two dirty guards at the gate.

«Who are they?» The hairy guard said. His beard hung down to his navel. How can he just live with her? It showed traces of a recent breakfast of a sandwich with dried lamb and kvass.

«We are travelers from faraway places. We want to go to the guild. Maybe we’ll become adventurers. – Said the cheerful Sophia making eyes at both guards. Apparently, she did this more than once, there is experience.

«Skip the cute kitty.» She won’t hurt us anyway. I’ll look at the kid myself.“ The second guard said. Without a beard and clearly the oldest in the shift. He looked me over casually. I saw the magician’s gloves and asked a question. I nodded. „I don’t like your tribe. All of you wield staffs. No, to pick up swords or axes like normal warriors. Ugh. «Where’s your staff?» Did you drink it?

«I lost it,» I said, even though I’d never owned a staff. I already have a lot of magic with my magic gloves, a family heirloom from my heroic grandfather the dragon War hero about a hundred years ago. A merchant wanted to buy it from me, even offering me a hundred gold pieces, but I refused. Family honor is more precious. And in them, the magic turns out to be strong, but it spends little mana.
