Nameless King

"So... What are you doing here? When do you plan to come back?" Teresa asked while stirring the salad in a lazy manner.

"Nothing much." Wain shrugged, "Just helping one Guild destroy another, pretty much everything under control. I don't know when I'll be back, I still have some things to do."

"Hmm? The Guild? Are you really talking about the Green Cats?" Teresa asked as her eyes widened.

"Exactly." Wain nodded.

"Wait... You want to help them deal with Twilight Embers...?" Teresa asked in a trembling voice.

"Yeah. They have a good plan and good conditions, so it will be an easy job. I'll be fine, you don't have to worry about me." Wain said as he took the glass in his hands.

Teresa looked at Wain silently for a moment as though she had heard something unbelievable.

"Is something wrong?" Wain raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. Everything is wrong! Why do you always get in my way?!" Teresa exclaimed with an angry look as the fork in her hand broke, "Gisle sent me here to establish relations with one of the guilds, and I chose Twilight Embers!"

"And what's the problem? So now your target is Green Cats, you're not going to get in my way, are you?" Wain grinned and continued eating in a careless manner.

"Shit, shit, shit! Why the fuck have I been trying so hard for the last two weeks, then?! I've done so much dirty work to get closer to their Head! I thought I could talk to Twilight Embers about an alliance with Last Light soon, but you blew it again!" Teresa uttered with an exasperated look as the veins in her forehead puffed up badly.

"Ahahahahahaha, sorry, I didn't know you were here. What's more, it all happened by accident, a few hours ago, I had no idea that one of the Head of Green Cats would ask me to do this." Wain laughed in a mocking manner, "As an apology, let me pay for you that time."

Teresa wanted to say something, but she held back, sighed, and pronounced with a serious look, "You know you're asshole, right?"

Wain just smiled as he took a sip of wine.

"Agh... Okay, looks like I'll have to change sides all of a sudden. Would you introduce me to the Heads of Green Cats? I'll take care of the politics, you're not doing it anyway." Teresa said as she sighed with a wave of her hand.

"All right. I'll take you to them as soon as I finish eating." Wain nodded.

During the conversation, Wain asked Teresa about the development of Last Light, but she wouldn't tell him too much since she wanted him to see everything in person.

...

"Fosko... I never understood how you did it, but you definitely have a talent for finding unique people... It's even scary." Skyla spoke with a dazed look while looking at Teresa and Wain, that sat across from her.

"Hey, that's something even I wouldn't expect, though maybe I just don't realize how great my talent really is!" Fosko said as a sly smile appeared on his face.

"So... Do you agree to our proposal?" Teresa asked in a serious voice as she shook her hand.

On her face was a red mask with a pattern of some kind of flower, this artifact had the same effect as Wain's mask, but was less powerful, though it was enough to hide her race, face, and aura.

"It sounds quite tempting as not only will you help us Green Cats become the main ones in the eastern district of Dermin, but you also offer a powerful ally outside the city that will help us grow faster, but... I can't completely trust those who hide their faces." Skyla said as she lit a massive cigarette.

"Yeah. I agree." Fosko nodded, "It's one thing to ask you to help in a battle, Nameless, but creating an alliance between two organizations is another thing entirely. I don't know why you're hiding, but you're going to have to reveal yourself, at least to one of you."

Wain and Teresa remained silent as they looked at each other with a slight nod.

"I can do that, but not right now." Teresa said as a square amulet appeared in her hand with a picture of a dark flash, "After we help you defeat the Twilight Embers, one of you will go with me to Last Light, there you will find out what you want. This is our best and final offer."

"What do you say?" Skyla looked at Fosko while blowing a puff of smoke.

"Well... That sounds interesting, I think we should agree, but it's up to you. After all, the leader is just that." Fosko smiled as he spread his arms out to the side in a careless manner.

"All right, I agree. Fosko will go with you after the mission, then we will say our final decision." Skyla nodded as she knocked the ash off her cigar.

"Got it. Then, you'll need this." Teresa uttered before throwing Fosko the amulet.

Fosko caught it with one hand and asked, "What is it?"

"Without it, you won't be able to pass our barrier. Of course, I'll be with you, but it's better to have it with you just in case. Only our allies get an amulet like this, so try not to lose it." Teresa uttered with crossed arms.

"Wow, Nameless, I didn't know you were a member of such a powerful organization. You still manage to surprise me." Fosko grinned as he moved the amulet into the ring.

"I'm shocked too." Wain shrugged, "Well, now that we're done, I'll see you in three days. I hope everything goes according to plan."

"Sure. Twilight Embers don't stand a chance. Once they lose the crystal and lose the battle, they won't have a chance to compete with us anymore. We will simply consume them." Skyla uttered with a serious look as her aura intensified.

"See you later." Wain waved a hand while turning into a shadow.
