Chapter 29: Mazekin Dimitri(3)
The Ravenspire Guildhall is a sturdy stone building. Its dark walls stand strong against the falling snow. A sloped roof, covered in a thin layer of white, keeps the cold at bay. The entrance has heavy wooden doors reinforced with iron and a carved raven emblem above them.
I ascended the stone stairs towards the heavy doors.
-Creak.
I slowly opened the door to the warmth of the guild. The smell of burning wood filled the air as the fire crackled in the hearth. The voices of people—Who are here to take the Mazekin test—Buzzed in the huge hall of the guild. Talking to each other, sharing the latest gossip or discussing about the upcoming test.
But as soon as I entered their gaze shifted towards me.
They looked at me with something that I only started seeing recently.
Wariness.
Admiration.
Jealousy.
A few of them scoffed and continued their chats. The girls again averted my gaze as if looking at me was a sin. Some of them wanted to approach me but seemed hesitant or should I say they fear me?
"Is everyone here?"
