Role

Chapter 16

Arratok took every shift that was offered, he took shifts to cover for others
when they were too lazy or too hung over to show up. He hung around on days
he wasnt scheduled to work just to have a chance to observe. Fascinated by
the art, technique, the ability of the elders in the guild he was dedicated
to learning, even if he wasnt a true member of the guild. He would complete
his work early and simply stare. Or pretend to be working on something else
while studying their techniques and movements. He strived to be next in line,
maybe one day selected to be taken as a student. With no history, no shared
story, no lineage to leverage, he was simply a nobody. His only ever upgrade
from cleaning was the occasional chance to errands. Most of the time it was
running arms and armor out for repair, on the rare occasion missives from
town to town, though never anything of significant importance, guild secrets
were not handled by errand boys. Mundane tasks were far more plentiful
though, and soon he started to learn the lay of the land. As the time passed
he learned the differences in the races he came across, and concepts of
weather and seasons. His world was different now, and would continue in a way
he could never expect.
