Nikolas walked down the streets of the what was once an older European city. Now, this was the largest Safe Zone within the European region. This was the closest Safe Zone to his new guild’s base as well as where his parents could have possible been. Here in Union Central, he could exit near Germany and continue his search. It had been several months since he had left that vampire’s den. He was starting to think that his parents were dead. Perhaps there were Safe Zones that he had not heard about. Sure, there were camps out there. Small clusters of survivors that opted to stay with each other than come back to the fold. He didn’t fully understand their reasoning but suspected it likely had to deal with some sort of trauma they suffered early on during the switch. Nikolas was terrified during that period but Emir helped him out there. He smiled softly thinking of Emir. He was probably his best friend currently and dare he say maybe more? It was hard to tell if Emir was flirting or if Emir was having feelings for the blonde boy. Either way, Nikolas enjoyed his company.

Nikolas turned the ally and entered a small building that he had rented a room out of. While away from the guild, he was opting to keep a low profile. Per the guild’s founding, he made Ollie swear that he would keep certain things of theirs a secret. If people found out about Either of their powers to upgrade gear, it could be quite the headache. Upon entering the apartment, Nikolas walked over to the bedroom door. He stood before it for a moment, his eyes furrowed. “Well, let’s see if my luck is with us today.”[/b] He said before opening the door and being met with an overwhelming rush of heat. The Forge. A mythical place that seems to be in its own little world. You never saw others here. Just you and the old lady who is the blacksmith here. Nikolas walked down the hallway towards the woman. He laid his [Golden Raven] and his [Eye of Longing] on the Forge’s anvil. Just two objects this time, lets see what the Forge brought forth for him. He was curious since both objects had similar skills if that would bring out the very best of both of them or what. He took a step back and watched as the rainbow sparks flew.
