Hemin Achlys
what is death —
Hemin sported a smirk as he readied a jest. “I’d like to purchase this fine establishment for triple the asking price. And, for a limited time only, I’ll even throw in one of my kidneys.”
His gaze held onto Amun’s analyzing gaze, tight enough to elicit some discomfort if his proposal wasn’t startling enough.
“Just get me to the boss and we’ll shake hands to make the deal. No questions asked. No questions necessary.”
Hemin reached his hand out and took a peek at metal table growing seemingly on its own. He hadn’t seen anything like that before, but then again, compared to the tales he heard about the world he probably hadn’t seen much.
“If you throw in that fancy table, I’ll even give my second kidney.” He pauses. “But, seriously, how are you doing that?”
If this man, Amun, alone was capable of this, what else were the members of this guild able to do? The allure of possibly gaining friendships of utility sparked a satisfying sizzle in Hemin’s heart. All the things he could create and all the people he could reach as a result of networking- was he ready to take this venture?

— but life's flattering shadow?
