Giant's tooth

"It seems you're not a mental type or a brute, hmm.... we'll figure it out soon enough, for now let's go meet the others, they'll be at marketplace" Sir George said, I just healed up, turns out they have some ability users who specialize in healing others, my wounds sealed up nicely though the scars still remained.

"Marketplace? isn't this a prison?" I asked incredulous to this revelation. "Well... technically it is, however the wardens allow us some level of freedom, commerce, trade, education, they even turn a blind eye to certain... affairs, bah! I'll tell you about it later!"

"Wait I'm supposed to meet-" "If Graver wanted you, you'd know, he's a telepath, though a low level one, he'll summon you if he needs you" With that we made our way to the marketplace.

The buildings surrounding us were.... peculiar, I mean the vibe I got from the outpost was 17th century European esque army, this, this place is, it has flying mechanical horses, high rising buildings at every corner, the people around us wore expensive looking clothes and jewelry, it was like I was in a different-different world, "This is the sun and stars district. " Sir George said, "This is proof of what two advanced nation could accomplish when they put their differences aside.Everyone here is either a warden or a honourary soldiers, prisoners who have already been accepted in the Camen coalition but awaiting their release date."

We passed several streets and corners , along the way I told him how I got convicted and the deal with the Jester lady, though I omitted the part about Veil splitter, "I'm sorry child, seems like you're in the wrong place, I'm sure you'll see make it outta here one day, though I'd have to ask.... what were you doing in the rainbow garden?" Sir George said, the tone of the conversation turned serious, " we found ourselves there by accident, is there an issue?" I responded.

Sir George nodded his head "that place is alive or cursed, depending on who you ask, legends say it's always moving , never in the same place at once, the fact fact you found at all is a miracle, a one in a million chance!" The image of the Jack and Julie flash in my mind for moment, but I brush it off.

"Here we are" Sir George said, we stood at the entrance of..... a mall? An actual mall? "Hahaha, surprised huh? bet you were expecting one of those open field marketplace, huh? Like I said, this is a bit advanced than what you've seen before" he said mischievously, I sigh and just accept that somethings would make sense when I ask later.

The place is lot bigger than I imagined, different creatures I've never seen before moved back and forth, shops of different commodities lined up, the place was a little intimidating, "over here" a strange creature cried, it was something of a mix between a satyr and a cyclops.... if that makes any sense, he seemed to be waving at us, Sir George takes my hand and leads us towards the creature.

He wore a black long sleeve V-neck shirt that hugged his rippling muscles and he wore.... well nothing for trousers, his goat lower half was so bushy and brown, you'd think it was pair of pants itself, his muddy brown eye glowered with interest, the man was about 6'4.

"Barnabas!" Sir George cried, embracing our new companion, "Where are the others?" "They're at the weapons store, we're getting ready for the hunt tomorrow!" The str- Barnabas roared, this day is getting weirder and weirder, "you must be the new guy, come we'll get something for tomorrow!" Barnabas said. "I'm guessing you know mine already, so what's your name new guy?" "Ca-Castor Grimes Jnr!" " Cas jnr, I like it, so Junior, what-! Whoa, you okay?!"

I stumble a bit but I get my bearings and stand upright, " Yeah, just a bit tired" I said, Sir George and Barnabas exchange looks but decide to take my word for it. we move our way through large crowd and find ourselves face to face with a run down weapons shop, "Here we are!" Barnabas announced, we make our way inside.

The place looks.... exactly as I imagined, worn out gear, worn out shopkeeper, worn out building! worn out everything! I sigh, we make our way further down and.... the store gets bigger, I'm not talking wider, I'm talking Giant sized as in, I'm looking at 15m Giants walking about here! the gear also looks better in this section, "There they are, let's go!" Barnabas roared, ugh, he's so loud, we meet with the odd group in front of us, a giant, a lizardman, an orc and a pale man. "Guys this is the new guy! Cas jnr!" Barnabas said, "H-Hello" I said meekly, "The lizardman is Arthur, the Orc is Vince, the half man is Pedro and...." Sir George whispered to me, pointing at each person respectively "I'm Bradley, welcome to Giant's tooth!" the giant, Bradley roared.

Vince looked mostly human.... save for the green skin and tusks, he was bald and potbellied, about 6'8 in height and had deep green eyes, he wore a simple black shirt and leather pants.

Arthur looked like the stereotypical lizardman, with green scaly skin and yellow reptilian, he also wore spectacles and a monk like brown robe, the dude was an inch shorter than me.

Bradley.... the 15m mammoth of a man, he had a lemony coloured, thick beard and a long yellow mane, and greenish blue eyes, he wore a bluish wool coat and black trousers with leather boots.

Pedro.... well he seemed pale, almost sickly pale, with white hair and crimson red eyes, he wore a red wool shirt and blue jeans with sandals, he was also 5'5 I think, maybe that's the standard height for all Halfmen?

The half man, Pedro walks towards me and takes my hands, his crimson eyes studying them intensely "Hmmm" he frowned, he studied them intently, stroking each palm before nodding his head, he turns around and dissapears into a section the store. "Well newbie, looks like Pedro's gone to get your stuff, in the meantime, I need to know are you a gambling man?" Arthur hissed before I could respond we make our way to small booth. Two fairy looking creatures with holsters and.. guns were standing opposite each other with their hands on their guns. "which do you think will win, newbie?" Arthur hissed.

why was he asking me? is this an initiation ritual or something? I look at both fairies, the one on the left is wearing black and gold suit and the one on the right is wearing a rainbow coloured robe, my eyes shift back and forth between the two, "Pick the one on the right master, the one on the right!" a tiny voice said, "You sure? it looks wimpy" I respond, "Yes! it looks the most splendid!" the voice responded gleefully, I'm about to voice my opinion when I come to my senses and look down, I notice a 1 metre long centipede clicking, staring me dead in the eyes.
