Interview number one went by very quickly, mostly because Sheryl, the makara guard, didn't wish to speak to Scott at all. If anything, she wanted to stab him with her spear. 


The interview itself went a lot like, "So, have you seen anything strange recently?" 


"Uhm, what about any strange individuals lurking about?" 


"I see. And, you've noticed no one, apart from us, snooping or asking questions?" 


Sheryl stared at him, like he was the only strange person she'd ever seen in her life. "No." 


And it ended as it began, with Sheryl saying, "Outsiders don't belong here." 


Scott didn't know if he should be offended or agree, because he felt like he didn't belong there. He was from the Underworld, escorting the Dungeon's new Dragon Lord on his mission to explore the world. Investigating a mess in the Abyss wasn't something he wanted to be doing either, Sheryl.
