The Undead Army

"Here's your key, sir." Matt took the key from the worker. He was going to room 159 in the Piggy Banc Hotel. The Hotel was pretty fancy, and very cheap. Nari had given him one hundred Wurms to rent a room, and taught him the system of money for the country he was in, which she said was called Asarina. Snigs were bronze coins, they held the smallest value of the coins. Silver Wurms were equal to fifty Snigs. Gold Wiks were equal to ten Wurms. And Slunts, which were so rare that most people never get to see the platinum coins, were equal to one hundred Wiks.

Matt's room was pretty small. He had a bed and a table. That's it. It was only fifty Wurms so he still had fifty left. He had no weapons or clothes to drop off so he put his coin sack on the table and left the building. He walked around the village, noticing that since the morning a few more people had arrived. He enjoyed the shops that were scattered around the village. Especially the Smith's. The Smith sold his metal works as well as equipment for other smiths. But the reason Matt loved the Smith's shop wasn't because of what it sold. It was because of the Smith himself.

The village's smith was named Gannon Isaacsson. Gannon was a kind man and had given Matt a small daggger for free, claiming he made it when he was only eight years old. And Gannon allowed Matt to try his hand at Black Smithing (which Matt found very fun, but extremely difficult). And Matt left the shop with a burn running the length of his arm.

Upon returning to the hotel, Matt saw a notice board with a poster that caught his eye. On the poster was the image of a knife. Just below the image read the words "All lawbreakers and rebels are to be reported to any member of King Slamon's army." He liked the dagger and was pondering the words when he noticed a wanted criminal poster. This poster had the image of Chief Copun on it, and below the image was the word WANTED and the reward. The reward was very big. 500 Wiks.
