Chapter 2 - An opportunity

As the sun rises, Alca wakes up and gets set for the day, grabbing a wooden bowl and a haphazardly sewn together small bag with haste.

She has heard that a massive event will happen in the colosseum in the city.

It is gigantic opportunity for Her as the colloseum will be crowded full of people and it's pretty common for people to lose and drop their items in such events.

"Misfortune for them, fortune for me."

As She enters the city, Alca sees the colosseum crowded with people waiting to enter.

As Alca gets closer to the crowd, She hears them talking about the event that was happening.

"A fight between the Skywolves Guild and the Vulcan Eagles Guild?." Alca says

Although not knowing what are guilds, Alca knowa they are a big deal just by the amount of people.

Wanting to know more, She listens in to the conversations of the crowd.

"Who do you think will win?."

"I heard the Skywolves are going to fight with their best members so my bets on them."

"The Vulcan Eagles are filled with skilled and cunning mages though."

Alca sighs as all she can hear is speculations about the fights that are going to happen.

But she still has to obtain money somehow, thus She starts to beg money to the people in the crowd and pick up anything she could sell and put it inside her bag.

As Alca does so, She looks around and sees people selling "healing" talismans, amulets, and minerals that are going to "help you improve your life.". Marketing them by saying "this will change your life, banish evil spirits from your body to keep yourself healthy, etc.."

"Well people are really taking advantage of this event huh.." Alca says

After a while the colosseum opens and people go inside and so does Alca

The colosseum is large with hundreds on their seat waiting for the fight between guild.

A few moments later Alca hears a Loud and Clear eccentric voice.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! We are here today to witness glorious duels from our two established Hunters Guild today!"
