The guards just finished up checking this house now they needed to check its neighboring house, and they would be done. The guard in the middle braced himself before knocking on the door. "Guards open up!" a guard called. Absolute silence greeted them. The leading guard called again still silence. Looking aside to the other guard he saw the doubt reflected in their eyes. "Let's break this door down." he called. Using magic he strengthened his muscles before placing his food on the door knob. He wound back and kicked it, his foot going straight through the wooden frame. Opening the door they entered swords drawn. Their boots crack heavily on the floorboards as they inspect. One of them called the other over what they found made them sick, there seated on a wooden chair staring at them is the corpse of a man with a broken neck. This place just became a murder scene, now only the rooms above needed to be checked. The air became heavier each step they took up the old staircase. Finally reaching the top they were chocking in freight. They knew a little girl lived here and that the man they found didn't live here so they feared for the worst. Rounding the corner one of the guards threw up at the sight he saw. He had helped raise the kid for some time and there it was sitting with a broken neck and forced into a praying posture forced into smiling it was a horrible sight to look at.

Ivy blinked away the painful sun rays that bored into her eyes. She finished her burrow a day ago and her muscles still protested when she moved with pain spasms. She needed to explore the town a bit more and kill some flesh bags as it was her duty. She quickly shifted back into the fox demi-human before putting on the adventurers armor. The massive walls made her shiver at their sheer size. She always hated going near massive structure as they made her feel insignificant. The bustling street greeted her. Vendors were shouting how fresh their products were, while others went on how powerful their artifacts were. It drove her crazy. Then in the corner of her eye she caught sight of a flyer. Hastily she made her way over to it before reading.
Yesterday in the red house near the bakery 'Red house' our guards found two corpses. One of the sixty-year-old 'Hendrickson' and the other of a four-year-old girl 'name unknown' the name was unable to be retrieved as the mother has gone missing after last leaving the house in the evening. She is believed to be the killer.

Ivy looked at the notice pint to the board, it didn't take long for them to post this paper. She grinned a bit, they surely found her gift in the house and what made her even more happy was that they were looking for someone that already, kicked the bucket. She quickly huddled to a stall that sold clothing, The stall vendor looked at her his eyes glistening with lust. "Hey cutie, I will give you all the clothing you want if you sleep with me tonight" Ivy looked at him with disgust and revulsion, but free clothing was too good to pass up on and besides she could kill him before he even touched her. She agreed. "Near the guard tower to the west of the village I will be waiting" He winked at her before trying to touch her. She quickly swatted him away. "Tonight" she simply said before turning around and walking away. Oh, she would enjoy torturing him. She quickly vanished into the crowd before entering an alley.
After walking around in the alleys she found the slayers' guild. Pushing open the door she was quickly hit by the stench of alcohol, gagging she quickly got out. Trying not to throw up she bit in her arm. "Hey, are you okay?" a man's voice called to her. She turned around looking at a real fox demi-human, she knew he wasn't a transformed beast as he didn't smell of the wild. But his emerald eyes and red fur caught her interest. "Here take this cloth and cover your nose with it's I know it's hard for demi-humans like us to first enter this building as it reeks like absolute trash." Ivy nodded her thanks before grabbing the cloth to cover her nose. They both entered.
Numerous eyes glanced at them some with boredom some with hatred for some reason, but most that were focused on her were filled with lust again. The man quickly noticed her weirding out about this so he quickly covered her with his mantle. Some men booed in the background, others huffed with angers as their eye treat was taken away before turning around. The sounds of people conversing quickly drowned the other sounds as the people started talking to their parties. "I'm sorry I forgot to mention that most female fox demi-humans worked in the red-light district, so they instantly you know what they were thinking I apologize." Ivy nodded feeling the weight of his words. She still felt a gaze fixed on her as they made her way to the desk. The receptionist looked up, a flesh bag her eyes barely open her black hair clearly unkempt. Ivy quickly took a defensive pose shocked by her appearance. "Ah don't be frightened work is just draining dealing with all those perverts." she finished before glaring out a dude clearly checking her out before grinning as another hit him over his head. "So Höst back from your quest killing the wolves that plagued the nearby roads." Höst nodded. The receptionist turned her head to regard Ivy "Do you want to become an adventurer." Ivy nodded. The receptionist grabbed a paper and placed it before her. Ivy stared at the paper before tugging at Höst's sleeve. "I can't read or write. Please help me" Höst nodded and helped her out. After it was finished the receptionist grabbed the piece of paper. "So your name is Ivy, have no magic power or abilities, skilled in using your hands in combat, and around 24 years in age… Is that correct?" Ivy nodded. "Well welcome to the club you will have a great time for sure." Ivy nodded before turning around and walking outside it was almost the evening so she quickly made her way to the west guard tower.
The man was already waiting for her. The moment he saw her a twinkle of desperation flashed in his eyes, stepping closer he called to her "Hey cutie over here, are you ready for the best night of your life?" he said walking towards her. "I sure am." Ivy looked in disgust at him before quickly saying "first the clothing, then you can have your way." The man smiled darkly before nodding and leading her to a massive wooden house. Ivy looked at the door and the windows, they could all close with a key. This would have been bad if it hadn't been for ice powers. They entered the door creaking in greeting as it swung open. The moist air greeted her. They walked inside, and the man brought her to a room containing a bunch of clothing, but before Ivy could start browsing Ivy felt the man grabbing her wrist and kicking her legs forcing her to fall to the ground. Her body smacked onto the ground the floorboards hitting her like a wall.
Ivy felt the creep grabbing her lower legs, but before he could continue his fantasies his head hit the ground hard as Ivy spun her body around, he let go of Ivy. Responding to the violation she felt Ivy made two ice shards burst out his knees made by freezing his blood. Letting him roll and yowl in pain she stood up. Only one low-level spell remaining. She walked to the grand selection of clothing she grabbed one and tied it around the brats mouth. Silencing his cries. Stepping back to the many clothing she grabbed some that looked good on her a long withe dress with blue accents and a sleeping fox embroidered onto the left sleeve. She put it aside before looking around again, finding a black leather pants good armor. Putting it beside the dress.1She turned back to the man kicking him in the head knocking him out. She quickly reverted her attention back to the clothing she sighed before preparing to undress. After she was changed she grabbed a black cloak and put it on, before grabbing the unconscious man and dragging him to her burrow.

New characters/character info:
Höst: Possible friend to Ivy or something else I will see later down the line what to do with him.
Receptionist: I will give her a name later. A kind human receptionist maybe she can escape the wrath of Ivy.
