The Dungeon Tree

"What's in the box Alice? With how much money we're making from this quest you'd think that there'd be some valuable objects in here." I asked.

"Don't know, don't care. Our objective is to bring this box to the guild hall in the center of the first floor." Answered Alice with a shrug.

At the moment only me, Alice, and Steven were doing this quest. Bubbles, Fang, and Emma on the other hand were all hanging out at Lake Crusch so they could train.

"This quest has been a rather relaxing one so far, I'm not complaining or anything I'm just enjoying this." Said Steven with a big grin.

The inside of the tree was a lot more different than I expected. The fact that there was a breeze weirded me out, but I didn't think much about it. One thing that one bugging me is that how would people on the outside know what the tree looked like on the inside?

"Hey Alice, dumb question but how did people on the outside learn what the insides of the tree looked like?" I asked.

"Guess he didn't tell everything. So every time we complete a level we get to send one person out of the tree, so what we did was send one man out and tell him everything we've found out. So far we've only beat the first floor, but we lost way too many people in the battle." Alice looked down a little in sadness.

I kept my mouth shut for the rest of the way there. Nobody spoke a single word until we reached the town.

"Well here it is, the big town. Now let's head towards the guild hall so we can deliver this packet." Said Alice.

As we walked through the populated town I looked at everything it had to offer. After a couple of minutes I saw what seemed to be a big fortress.

"Is that the guild hall?" I asked. The building was bigger than I imagined, it looked like it could house over one hundred people.

"Come on, let's get this delivery over so we can return home. I don't like being in crowded places." Said Alice.

Alice started to run towards the guild hall with the box strapped to her back. Before we could go up the stairs that led towards the building we were intercepted by two men.

"Let's keep this brief, we want what's in that box." Said one of the men. Alice didn't respond, instead she gave them the death glare that I've seen before.

"Point taken, we will now never come near you again." Said both of the men. They then walked away into an alleyway.

I stood there in confusion for a moment until snapping out of it. I looked for Alice and saw that she was already halfway up the stairs.

"She's scary, don't you think John?" Asked Steven. I turned my head and nodded, making sure to keep my distance from Alice.

When we all got up the stairs we were met two guards who looked bored out of their mind. Alice walked up and dropped them box right in front of them. I saw that their eyes lit up and observed the box.

"The booze are here!"
