125 Seeking Equality

District-B, Delmar City

It was early in the afternoon the streets were teaming with people going about there day. Drivers consistently honked there horns as they complained about the other incompetent drivers on the road. Similarly none were worried about the approaching war.

At a food stall by the road Eliot Row was enjoying the simplicity of life. He savored every bite of yeti meat he bought as it melted in his mouth and handed another serving of the same dish to a well dressed man standing next to him.

Randell took the serving of food Eliot gave him and ate some. Yeti meat was nothing special to Randell he wasn't even hungry he Just took it not to be rude.

"Is it to your liking?". Eliot asked in a thoughtful and conserned tone.

Randell faced Eliot and said, "Yes its quite good".

"Thats excellent to her, now let us move on".

Eliot and Randell walked down the street normally like they were two average people which was not what Randell expected when it was time for them to chat again.

"Eliot why are we meeting out in the open like this don't you people like to stay hidden". Randell said as respectfully as he could to not cause problems latter.

Eliot raised up an eye brow as he looked at Randell strangely, "You people you mean Secret Visage. Randell I assure you I'm nothing like them or anyone else you've seen before".

Eliot said those words out loud which shock Randell because it ment Eliot did care who knew what the two were talking about or his Identity, but that didn't mean Randell wanted people to Know he was secretly conversing with a member of Secret Visage.

The Purifiers is a large organisation that is only big because it is made up of mostly normal people. They are united by there common hatred for mages and the like. The Purifiers are a thorn in mages side, but its a thorn mages and cultivators have to tolerate. To get rid of the purifiers someone would have to kill all mortals. Its an impossible act that will leed only to self destruction.

While Secret Visage is worse than any other Kind of known organisation to date they act without any known motive and seek only to cause destruction and chaos.

"Secret Visage trully is an insane group of people, so why the hell am I here?" Randell thought to himself".

Randell soon got out of his head and snapped back to reality, "I am sorry if I offended you".

"Its alright, what I want to know now is your answer to my offer when we first met".

"That offer of your is something that someone like myself can not give a reply to. I simply oversee matters in Delmar City I can not speak on behalf of everyone else. Even if I inform someone high up then me I can not guarantee that someone will give a response. I may even be let go just for talking to you".

Eliot scoffed at Randell's reply, "I do not need any kind of permission or your help, so there's no reason for me to speak to anyone higher up then you. What I plan to do will not change it will terrift those who you hate and satisfy the need of Secret Visage".

"Yes, you've said it before you wish to bring 'equality', but how do you plan to do it and what definition of the word equality are you planning on using ours or Secret Visage's?. You can understand why I ask this its not like the organisation your in has the best reputation". Randell asked questionly.

Eliot laughed and replied, "It will be my own and when the time comes I hope you use the opportunity I give you well".

As Eliot faced forward noticed he had arrived at his location and said, "it looks like were here. Tell me do you wish to accompany me in or shall we part ways here.

Randell look at the place Eliot wanted to go to which put a frown on his face, "why in the world are you going into the city guard's training camp arn't you afraid of being apprehended the moment you step in".

"Of core not those people have no useful information about me and beside its not like I'm planning on causing any trouble. I'm just going there to meet someone who caught my eye. I've put our meeting off for far to long, so its time I met him".

"Well your gonna have to go meet him alone. If I'm seen walking in with you it will be bad for me later on".

"Then this is were we part ways. Till next time Mr. Roffe".

"Same to you Mr. Row"

City Guard Training Camp, Delmar City

The training camp was bustling with activity far more then usual. The announcement that there was going to be war for the rights over Delmar City put everyone in high gear. Every platoon was given extra training while more weapons were being shipped into the city from all over.

In the south western section of the training camp Desmond friends John, Lance, and Roy Just completed there drills for the day and were taking the time to chat with each other before they were ordered to do something else.

"I can't believe the elves declared war again so soon after I joined. I came here to make extra money. I don't want to die by a stray shot". Roy continued to lampoon about how cruel the universe has been to him and forced John and Lance to listen to him sulk.

Lance annoyed by Roy constantly bringing down the mood lashed out at him. "Can you shut up already you've been complaining for days. How dow do you think I feel about this Roy I have 2 little sisters to take care of. If I knew that there was going to be a war after 2 years of me joining I wouldn't have considered joining either".

John seeing the two squabble decided to step in and mitigate the issue. "You two need to call down and look at the bright side of things".

"Whats the bright side out of all this". Lance replied in an unhappy tone.

"The bright side is that were all gonna die, but at least we'll die quickly".

John replied seriously, but he still had that same grin on his face which made Lance and Roy think he wasn't serious at all.

"That doesn't make me feel better at all John". Said Lance as he held back the urge to punch John in the face.

"It was worth a try. Anyway do either of you know what happened to Desmond he hasn't been here in days and the sergeant Freeman is pissed that he has yet to show and keeps taking it out on us".

"Its obvious that he ran away already. I'm half considering doing the same thing". Roy said in a depressed tone.

"Roy didn't I tell you to shut up already. If Desmond actually ran away then he would be a deserter and if they find him after that imprisonment would be considered getting off easy."

As the group debated whether or not Desmond actually deserted or not Eliot came walking towards them.

Lance quickly noticed Eliot and stopped talking to his idiot friends for the moment to speak to him.

"Eliot what are you doing here". Lance asked in a chipper tone. Eliot saved him from his friends stupidity, so he was quite happy to see him.

"I had a business meeting nearby, and that's when I thought of you. I haven't seen you in some time because of some important things that popped up and wanted to personally apologize for missing that party you invited me to". Eliot spoke in a refined tone everything he did was high class in Lance's eyes.

"Its alright a small get together like what we had would most likely not be to your liking anyway". Lance said while feeling a bit embarrassed for inviting someone as high class as Eliot to a dingy party.

"That's nonsense I truly wish that I could have come and since I have the time now I would like to make that up to you. Are these the friends you told me about".

Lance couldn't believe Eliot took time out of his day just to hang out with someone like him. It was in that moment Lance believed Eliot was truly a kind person.

"I guess even high class people are just normal people after all".

As Lance took the time to introduce his friends Eliot had his eye firmly planted on John the real reason for his visit.
