But then Elvira noticed something, it seemed like it was a female teenage Savager that the object of attention was on, with a small group of probably a Savagers g**g round her and making unsolicited advances
“Leave me alone, you pig!” she shouted at one of them who wanted to grope her by the side, “Come 0n girl, behave yourself” the Savage g**g member who she shouted at said to her raising his dagger up, with the sharp edge pointed at her
“Stop it!!..” the teenage Savage girl shouted at another of the Savager g**g member, this was happening in one of the tunnels attached to the secondary tunnel, so there wasn't much people passing, but there was still people on that tunnel, most avoiding the occurrence ongoing at if they could not see it
“She wants to leave, make way for her boys” it was Elvira, she was right in their faces now, with Belitrus near her side while Sybella waiting a bit far off, she was no warrior, just a saver of lifes through treatment and medicinal plants
“woah whoah, what do we got here the leader of the g**g had now turned his back to the savage teenage girl they were trying to harrass and now facing Elvira straight on
“Wanna join the party?” he brought out his dagger to make Elvira run away with her tail between her legs but immediately she sensed the threat, it was all over
She used her knee to bump between his legs, sending him into a long scream of pain, with his knees clutched together, almost falling down and his head bowed down in response to the great pain Elvira had just impacted on him
Before the other g**g members had have time for their move, Elvira had already retrieved the dagger the leader of the Savage g**g group was using to threaten her and made a stab at the side of his now bent back, making a minor but destabilising injury on his back
The rest of the g**g still in shock of how fast the move had just been implemented, totally taking out their leader from the equation was in a slight pause, probably thinking if the fight was worth the risk they were about to embark on
Tho before they could each decide that it was better to flee than take on the fight, the most aggressive of them was already in control “Kill that daughter of the earth!!…” he shouted and all of them went into an attack mood on Elvira
Belitrus immediately came into the picture with his dagger in his hand, and Elvira by the side
The fight have now fully broken out as all were now engaged in a clash of daggers and flesh
‘thumm…. ddd’ one of the Savagers behind suddenly fell flat on the ground and all in the fight noticed it, as he was the g**g member at the back, further away from where the fight was in full swing
Their attention immediately taken back to the fight as Elvira did not stop her rage upon this group who have unfairly tried to molest the young female Savager
Belitrus was in a hot battle with the most aggressive of them all, the one who had made all of them started fighting instead of fleeing for their dear lives
In a sharp movement, Belitrus took a hit at the Savager he was currently fighting with, sending him to a backward movement, away from him, but Belitrus did not stop there, he wanted to out him down, as the one currently in control of the group
‘thunnn…nnnd’ another one of the g**g member fell, before they could all notice the cause, a different Savage warrior was a bit far away, using some kind of instrument,a flute blowing some poisonous darts at the g**g members, making two of them to be flat on the floor now
Seeing that there was no more hope of winning the fight, the remaining of the Savage g**g members couldn't take it anymore as they went into flee mood, leaving behind their companions who were already fallen
The leader still in pains and seeing that all his members had ran away, leaped out of the place slowly, Elvira leaving his to his path, she had already done too much damage to him she thought
Sybella was already coming to meet them where they stood as the fight was already all over, Elvira looked around in search for something that seems missing
“Looking for the teenage girl?” Sybella asked laughing, “she ran off and left immediately all your attention was in the fight, she's long gone and probably safe now” Sybella said
“Goth?…” Belitrus said aloud as he saw a figure coming towards him and it was clearly the same man he had saved and Sybella had patched up, saving his life
“What, are you serious?, Where is he” Sybella immediately said as she heard Belitrus called the so familiar name, the basis of both of their connection
“yeah it's him Sybella was excited as she turned and saw him coming towards them, a bag hanging on his shoulder and the flute he had just finished using in his hand
Sybella hugged him tightly, "it's been so long we last saw you, where have you been" she asked
“In the Shadows?” Goth replied and they all went into laughter, probably all happy to be out of this tensed up situation they had all been a while ago
Goth was now looking straight up at Elvira “whos this?” he asked
“oh it's Elvira, Belitrus friend from outside the mine, and now Also my very good warrior friend” Sybella answered with a smile
“Ok that's good to know" Goth replied Sybella, "Wow, you fight so good, like a high ranking warrior of the Red dynasty” he said,
"yeah thanks a lot" she replied, "tho am not a warrior of the Red dynasty, but a solo warrior with no pledge to any land of the earth, especially not the Red dynasty"
“Wow it's so good we are all together now, I guess fate have brought us together on this day” Belitrus finally said, as they began moving again
“Goth, can you join us, we are going to visit another of our new friend, a fellow Savage, not too far from here” Sybella asked Goth
“Yeah surely” he replied
And together they all journeyed to Durid's secret Library, unconscious that they had just formed one of the great group the Red dynasty is yet to experience
3 ***********************************
Four, one to go.…
Now four in number, they walked and chatted on their way to the secret library of Durid, who they know would most definitely be around by this time
Goth seems a little bit off to Elvira, as his manner of behaviour and way of talking seemed unlike the other Savagers she was with; Sybella and Belitrus
Also now coming to his manner of fighting, a flute blowing poisonous dart, that looks most likely an assassination type of fighting strategy
At that moment Elvira made the mental note of finding out the secret behind Goth life
Also after the fight that had just happened some minutes ago, Goth was asked how he did it, "I used my flute to blow a poison dart into the g**g member neck"
“You killed them!!!…?” Sybella had reacted openly the way we all had in silent feeling of what he had just done
‘we were fine in making them a bit disabled in order not to commit such crime anymore than they had just done, but killing them outright was just too much of a punishment’
“Oh no no, of course not, I didn't kill themmm?” he had laughed, “that was just a special dart that paralysis the victim for some hours long he had defended himself
But Elvira thought otherwise, “argggh..” Elvira suddenly made a sound which brought all their attention to her direction 'why am I so suspicious about this Goth, if Belitrus and Sybella trusts him this much, then that means he's not that bad I guess'
“Ok, we are getting nearer to the SECRET Location” Sybella said after a few minutes of the group walking in silence, putting much emphasis on the word ‘Secret’ for no just cause
'Seems she likes the word a lot i guess' Elvira thought in her mind, 'I better start getting ready to know how to approach this Durid' he seems like someone that would expect a lot since he knows so much about the outside world
On reaching the cell patch that only Belitrus and Sybella could recognise as the entrance to the secret passage that leads to the secret durid's library
“Oh there it is” Sybella pointed at a normal cell patch, just like the hundreds beside it, lined up
“Yeah, yeah I know, it don't looks much to the eyes, just a normal cell patch with a dead end” she was saying as they all entered into the cell patch
“Ta daaaaa” Sybella shouted in excitement as she opened up a covering that looks just like a wall to reveal a secret Passage
“Dont worry, it's all safe, Belitrus would lead the way” she said, gesturing to Belitrus to go on inside, he was skilled with the sword was her thought, incase any assailant comes from the path forward
“Ok, next up, Goth, follow Belitrus in the path” she said next, “Then I would follow, and our Red dynasty Elvira here would come last”
Putting Elvira as the last to enter the secret passage was using the same logic as she had used with Belitrus, the two warriors to stay at the beginning and the other end, incase there's any attacks from either side
Belitrus now at the helm of the party advance was doing so slowly and carefully as he was incharge of their safety, tripping any death traps may be able to send all towards their graves all too early
“ok am done with that, you have the operation procedure, linked with the outside connection, and those are of importance to me, tho limited, but what is of higher importance to me right now it's it control, and you are the key to that”
They heard someone talking so audibly as soon as they entered into the library and no one had to tell any of them to Keep their mouths absolutely shut as they just stood where they were watching the drama unfold
“So how did you amass such control over the network, tell me the same voice asked
Belitrus and Sybella could tell that was definitely the voice of Durid, questioning the injured Savager that they have been here before to treat his injuries
“The network is down now, don't you understand” the other Savager who was lying down on a long stand was now talking, “the assasination group had made sure all was strategivally put out of place before leaving, that's if they have left, that I don't know”
“No thats not it, the network have always existed and would continue to exist even with constant interruption from the Red dynasty” Durid continued his hard core discussion, too busy to notice that he got some large group of visitors
“Whos Durid and who's the other guy lying down” Elvira had been watching the drama play out, now asked, expecting Belitrus or Sybella to respond as they have knowledge of the place and people having some definitely high stakes conversation
“shhh…” Sybella hissed, “would tell you later, for now lets just hear them finish” Sybella whispered “Tho the one standing, who is handsome as you can see is definitely our Durid” she added before she went back to concentrate on the discussion
‘Ok, I see’ Elvira said in her mind, not wanting to be shooshed again
“The network can't just be easily disrupted by some assasination group, I have studied it's pattern of adaptation for so long”
"you my dear friend have lost control of the network which includes your most loved part, the smuggling network, but that does not mean the network is no more” Durid was still talking as four eyes and ears watched and hear his every word
“So your aim of saving and letting me live is to extract information on the control of the network like you said then” the savage man who was notably way older than Durid was now talking
“And let's say it still operational, what do you intend on using the control of the network to do?” he asked Durid “So you can control the smuggling activities of the whole of Alzhamera mine?”
“and I have got to add, the network is what you build it to be, the sphere of influence it has changes a lot in a short period of time depending on a lot of factors”
“Says the man would used such a potential power of the network just to control and profit from flaurixe smuggling” Durid replied with the same tone as the man on the bed
“Ok, I guess we have heard enough” Elvira said as she came out of where they were hiding and listening to Durid and the injured older man's conversation
Eye balls wide in shock as he saw just Elvira standing in front of him “WHO ARE YOU!!!” he said as he was almost entering into a ‘go get weapons and fight’ mood
Then the rest of the team came out of their hiding too
“Its alright Durid” Sybella quickly said, before Durid would do something to harm Elvira
‘she could definitely take care of her self tho’ the thought flashed in Sybella mind, after having watched her fight some few hours ago
“its me, Sybella, Belitrus and some friends” she smiled widely as she said this
