Fanfic:Journey of the Warriors/Chapter 1 - New Beginnings

I blinked hard as I awoke from my deep night's sleep. The oceanic sun was shining down hard into the floor of my tenement, cascading light across my bed and providing me with visibility. The light contrasted sharply with the dark, dusty corners of the room, where the mice slept and cold crept in the winter.

Yawning, I raised myself to a sitting position to examine my settings. It was quite humid, and I could feel a steady, cool breeze blowing around my humble home. Home... but not for long. For today was the day that I had long awaited: the day I would finally depart for Temul Prison Fortress.

Temul Prison Fortress was, admittedly, romanticized as a high-paying, high-reward occupation by Guild headmasters. The reason for this is simple: given that Temul was for only those hunters who committed atrocities against the Guild itself, the Guild Headmasters thought it quite important to ascertain the quality of the security within the prison. To this end, they (somewhat dishonestly, in hindsight) actively claimed that the high-paying job was as safe as they come, with free meals and housing included in the employment contract. This was only partially true.

The Prison was very vulnerable to attacks from all variety of Leviathan.
