Hi everyone, I'm Evo.
I started a long while ago a forum adventure on MSPA forums called "The Book of Glint". Now recently that mspaforums have experience some issues I decided to restart the adventure here. :) As you may notice from the style, this adventure is inspired by Prequel Adventure by Kazerad. But keep in mind that the style may change during the adventure as I like to experiment with different kinds of styles but this will be the main style of the adventure. Now let's begin.

Your name is Cayla Jozura.
After two weeks of travelling, you've finally reached your destination. Before you lies Citadel, the largest trading port in Candaria and Horizon City's front line of defense against threats from the west. Shortly enough, it is also to be your new home.
You watch as the dockworkers scramble to intercept the airship, and you find yourself marvelling as the city slowly drifts into view. Feeling the wind trace a pattern against your shirt, you press closer to the ship’s railing, thoughts focused solely on drinking in your surroundings. At a glance, you find the streets to be abuzz with the bustle of citizens, each heading straight to who-knows-where. You feel the familiar tingle that you’ve long come to associate with the Dawn of a New Adventure.
This is nothing like anything you've ever seen before.
You take a moment to reflect. Hailing from Garudapol, you set out for Citadel only a short time ago, eager to distance yourself from your less-than-ideal upbringing. Having grown up in an orphanage, you retain few memories of your parents or early childhood, and though you were never explicitly mistreated, you often found life as an orphan to be something of a drag. As a result, you’ve never felt a very close connection to your homeland, or really anywhere, for that matter. Though you still find yourself occasionally pondering the mystery of your heritage, you do your best to avoid dwelling on the past.
Regardless, the fact of the matter is that you’ve arrived at the ripe age of 20. The age at which a ferrath begins her journey into womanhood, and more importantly, the age at which she’s legally considered an adult. Thinking back, it was only a few short weeks ago that you woke up to find the director of the orphanage standing over you, gushing on about an “exciting opportunity” to “fully exercise your independence as an adult.” By that, he meant he was kicking you out.
You were provided with some pocket change and a handful of food tickets before being tossed to the streets. You quickly found your purse to be less than watertight before you even departed, and the airship ate up any of your remaining funds. Basically, you're broke and without a source of income. What an excellent start for the adventure of a lifetime!

Fortunately, you were tipped off by a close friend of yours about a job opportunity here in the city. He was a bit fuzzy on the details, but he explained to you that a fellow known as Marcus would be in need of your services, whatever those services may be. You were warned that it may not be an easy job, but it would definitely serve to keep you busy as you settle into your new environment.
Your friend neglected to tell you where exactly you could find Marcus, but you’re sure you’ll stumble upon him at some point. You make a mental note that you should seek him out as soon as possible, and file it away with all the other important tasks requiring your immediate and utmost attention. For now, you’re going exploring.
You suppose this is it. The beginning of your new life. You must admit you’re feeling rather optimistic.
After all, what could possibly go wrong?
