Selena was walking around the Holy Capital of Crocus  in her usual Rune knight attire. It was a rather warm day despite  the season so she could afford to dress to show her Marking on her shoulder, showing she was  of the Rune knights. Her outfit cpnsisted of black training pants and tip, although  with fabric meeting in the middle of her chest meeting with the Rune Knight Mark made into a locket of sprts. She also wore sleeves over her forearms. These did not connect  with her shoulder though, that would be in the way of her tattooo which  she wanted to show. She mainly wanted to show her tattoo today because it was the first  time in a while that she had decided  to actively  go out  seeking  a job to do, and the tattoo bearing the Rune Knight Emblem on show could only help Selena, or so she thought  any way.

It was already  mid-Day when Selena  decided  to take a break. She had been searching for any paying job fkr a few hojrs and she was beginning to feel a little peckish. Selena  sat on a bentch and scanned the area for any  facilities  that could quench  the burning flame  of hunger that  was growing within her stomach. Seeing a bar tl her right, the name stuck out to her. Not because it was odd or the design was fancy, but because  she had heard of it before. She remembered that it was the same bar many other  pedestrians  were talking  about . One day prior Selena  overheard  some girls saying it was an amsome place and that ladies night  was once a week, alomg with  other nonsensical information. The thing  that stuck with Selena  was that they had quite a good chef  in the place. Selena  heard this from many other pedestrians  too so deciding  she could no longer  wait she made her way to the bar.

The inside  matched the outsode. It was quite lovely, not too extravagant nor over the top, just a regular setrotypical bar. Selena  sat on a stool right by the bar an waited for service. As she sat down and awaited  service, Selena  noticed ome of the hosts looking  at many bills in his hand as she shuffled  through  them with a sour look plastered across his admittedly handsome  face.

"Um excuse me?" Selena said waving her right  hand over the bar to get the hosts  atention. As he approached  Selena  was slightly daunted by his strong and big looking  body. He was far enough away beflre to make him seem as if he was average but up close it was a different  story. "Very sorry miss, what can I do for ya?" The man asked, attempting  to remove  the disgust  frkm his face. "Is everything okay dude?" Selema asked trying  to cut to the chase before  even  starting  to run? ""Im sorry what?" The man asked to Selena. Selena looked back at the man unamused. "There is cearly something wrong. What ks it? I can help. Selena  Maelstrom, Runke Knight." Selena then said  sounding  more formal as she sjowed her mark. "Oh wow, great  timing. My name is Barta. And yeah some guy conned me earlier. This money, its counterfit." He said introducing himself then gesturing to the money. "If you could get him and make him repay his dept with real money Ill give you a reward, here's  what he looks like." He said getting  a picture  of the man. After Selena  seen the picture  she nodded. The word reward  made this  mission even more aplealing to her.

Selena  hopped off her stool and headed  out the door of the inn. As soon as she hopped out of the inn she seen the man. This guy looked the complete opposite  to Barya in every way. She was skinny, a little lamky and quite ugly in Selena's eyes. As Selena approached  him she noticed him noticing  her. His eyes began  to move up and down, checking  Selena  out. Selena's  Skin began tl crael at the thought. Although  now he seemed to perk hp for some reason. He must of seen it, my mark. Selena thought. The guy was totally  on edge now. He knew he was caught.

"Hey there. I understand  you owe someone named Barta some money?" Selena asked, cool as a cucumber. "O-Oh yes yes yes. I'm  s-s-sorry for all that  was a mistake. I Kyle, was once a conman but no more. It was a simple mistake, h-here just repay him I dont want any trouble." He said. Selena scoffed at the snivelling buffon. He quickly  took money out of his back pocket  and presented  it to Selena, his head bowing. Selena  snatched the money  from him and returned  back to the  inn. Out of the corner of her eye, Selena thought  she seen him smile. However she disregarded  this and went to give the money  back to Barta.

"Here." Selena said throwing  the money on the bar. "Oh gre- wait are you kidding me?" Selena looked back confused. "This is the same counterfit money." Barta said his face void of any amusement. "That scheeming two faced..." Selena  trailed  off. "No one makes a fool of me!" She snarled as she stormed out of the inn.

Outsode Kyle had gone, but his scent  remained. With a few sniffs Selena  picked up where  he had gone and gave  chase. Kyle had not even reached  the corner  of the street by the time Selena  was on his heels. Realising  he was found out he quikly ran jnto a back alley. It was a dead end however and he looked back in shock as Selena confronted  him. "You bitch! I gave you the money, no trouble like we agreed. Otherwise..." Kyle shouted as he pulled a baseball bat from behind his back. Selena however did not care for his empty  threats  and dashed at him flicking her right writ and pushing her left arm forward, sending water at him while coating her arms in water. Selena then ckicked her fingers making a whirpool for the man to get trapped in as she continued  to wail on his with her right hsnd covered in water then with a few punches  until he was unconcious. After  he was Selena dragged Kyle to Barta, wbere he awarded her.
