The Savagers Revolution

Chapter 25

Master and Apprentice on a mission….

Nelda and Luna now galloping at a high speed on the horses they bought from Brakka friend who had a stable, which wasn't much of an expense to Nelda as she had been in a lucrative spot for a long time, making a lot from the travellers who were always ready to give a thing of value for the right information

Nelda the informant as she was called when she was working in the tavern was well by most of the travellers, developing strong relationships and bond with most of them making her tavern to be always filled with customers

Money was not the goal, though she got a whole lot of that, the goal was the knowledge and information that she gained, getting core information of things worth while, both that of nearby surrounding with a lot of value and that of far and wide, hearing of lands she had never even think of dreaming off and items that would have been taken for magic in the Red dynasty, just like her Electra zipper is somehow taken as, sometimes

After a long ride from the stable and the few stops that they made at inns to spend the night before continuing their journey, they finally made it to Dukes meadow, the land where they were meant to start the mission in

Reaching Dukes meadow, Nelda and Luna horses had now stop the galloping and are now on a slow pace, as they admired the surroundings in which they found them self now, the grasses were green and span a large distance, thereby making it a beautiful sight to behold

“Can we go lie down on the grass, just for a bit” Luna asked Nelda, pinching her finger halfway to indicate the small amount

“Pleaseeeeee……” she asked again as Nelda seemed to have ignore her first request, "we wouldn't take long I promise, I just want to feel the grass with my skin, it looks so lovely, i can not avoid it" Luna had said in a pleading voice

Now tired of the constant plea, Nelda replied her "Ok, we will go to the grass but when we see a nearby rock, we wouldn't want to stay on the grass in a field too open" 

“Yeah, thanks so much” she blew her a kiss in delight, smiling wildly like a child who was just given a treat

On seeing a large rock across the open field of beautiful grasses, Luna shouted to get Nelda attention "look.…, There's a rock, and it looks so prefect from up here

Drawing their horses to a halt, they change their direction as they headed for the lonely rock where the were to take a rest before continuing the kidney, their horses behind them as they lead it through to the rock

Luna already on the floor was now moving here moving her hands on the grass to fill it's texture as Nelda sat down to also take her own rest

After a while of staying up behind the rock at the open field, Nelda and Luna were now already back on their horses as they continued searching for the particular mansion the letter had said about in the letter

Bringing out the letter to reread it again, 'Go to the Dukes meadow and check around for the Caitlyn mansion, before you reach there, the place must have already had the general in it, which is your 

primary target to follow.…' a part of the letter had read

“How are we to know which one is the Caitlyn mansion mansion now, there are so many many of mansions on the Dukes meadow” Luna had said

“the letter isn't finished” Nelda revealed as she go over the to the back side of it which had a writing also on it

'Make sure not to make a direct entry into the mansion, as the place would probably be filled with the Red dynasty warriors, who would apprehend you at entrance, …..'just do your thing' the letter had said, taking her to the next and last paragraph

‘To know the Caitlyn mansion among the other mansions from the Dukes meadow, which is a mansion of a different style, it had a wall that looks like the body of a crocodile skin from a far…’ Nelda read out the details of the letter which was now clear on the particular mansion they are to make their way into

“i think I saw that same type of mansion a while back, the gypsie looking one at the right hand side a few metres back” Luna said, recalling it in her mind as it had a good impression on her to feel like the one they are searching for

“no no, that is obviously not the mansion, I was it too, it looked unique in it's own way with its weird kind of looking wall, which was a result of some kind of plant that was growing on it" Nelda replied as Luna discontinued the thought which was already building up

Now searching for the Caitlyn mansion which had a crocodile looking kind of walls for its protection, Nelda was fixing her Electra zipper into her hands, thereby meaning she was ready for action , as Luna started to engage her's too which she was already wearing

After a while of slow paced movement on the horses round the Dukes meadow, Nelda and Luna reached a mid turn that had two diversions to follow, so they took the one that seemed more narrow as that would be a path to be finished exploring faster before going back to the mid turn to explore the other path

"Yeee.…" She heard Luna voice shrink like saying something in a sudden outburst as she looked over to her side to look what had happened to warrant her strange call

“Thats the Caitlyn mansion over there” she said in excitement, pointing to a big mansion not too far from where they were right there in the pathway, “ok yeah that's it ” Nelda confirmed to Luna as they both came to a halt

“So now we will both take our horses inside to among the trees and chain them to it as we make our way to the mansion to avoid getting spotted on our horses” Nelda said as the both left the path into the bushy meadow heading to where there was a cluster of trees some distance away

Now, with the Electra zipper fully fixed on their different hands and the horses safely tied to among the clusters of trees, Nelda and Luna made their way to the Caitlyn mansion in the Dukes meadow, a place Nelda had heard about a few times while working in the tavern

The Dukes meadow was a fine environment where you are sure to see carriages and wagons carrying along people and goods through the beautiful lands, 'with the large town having a high cluster of noble's, it's sure to get more secured in the coming years' the travellers had been talking about it

After a long while of trailing secretly in the bushes to get to the hidden side of the high standing wall they were now ready to inflitrate it

“You ready for this?” Nelda asked Luna with her left hand on her shoulder as a comforting pat and to ease any fear she may have

Taking a deep breath, Luna replied “Yeah i am ready” looking directly into Nelda eyes as they finally began their mission

Taking shift away from the wall to keep some distance between her and the wall she shot her Electra zipper halfway through into the wall as she pulled the small retract lever to fly into the air onwards to the place where her string was attached to

Following the same way her master did, 

Luna went up more than half way up the wall as Nelda took her short sword taking a stab at the wall , climbing into the sword as she distached the Electra zipper string form the wall

Taking another shot with the Electra zipper up into the edge of the wall, she stands on the wall with her legs on it, making her full weight hang on the the Electra zipper string alone, now parallel with the ground on the floor as she removes her short sword from the wall putting it back into her waist buckle

Now in her position standing on the wall, she strated walking on the wall forward pulling the retract lever just a little bit to put make it start taking back in the string very slowly, Luna seeing what her master and teacher just did follows suit, having trained and pratice for a long while it was an easy move as she took her own strike up, and started walking on the wall forward

Taking out her Sylvian wipe and taking a swipe on he small sword, similar to the one Nelda was using as she pulled up the wipe sending up the sword up to her side as she put back the sword and Sylvian wipe into her waist belt 

Nelda smiled as she saw what Luna, her apprentice just did, 'she have been learning a lot' she thought

On reaching top of the wall, seizing the slow retract pull, as they bent down to look over the wall, they were shocked at what they saw below

With warriors moving around and a few guards standing up the outpost with a lot of maids cleaning, and at the center of the compound inside the the mansion surrounding was the General, clearly visible as he was in the middle of the compound, giving instructions and standing near the reason for shock they just experienced

Piles of dead bodies were arranged in front of the compound, freshly killed as you could clearly see the blood everywhere, with maids doing their best to clean the bloods of their now dead fellow maids, and the warriors carrying out the other bodies from inside the mansion building, the guards standing at the outpost watching in all alertness and fear all that was going on

Luna grasped, using her hand to cover her mouth in order to avoid making any sound with her shocked expression

Nelda seeing this below, also in moderate shock mixed with suprise, and seeing as Luna almost had an outburst that would have definitely got them killed, she was in consideration for her, seeing such a sight in her very first real mission was not an appealling experience

What they just saw made Nelda mind to start searching for answers automatically, what has happened here?, These are obviously the formerly recent occupants of the mansion, now all littered on the mansion premises, who must have done this, must not have been the current set of people inside the mansion right now as the feel in the air and lools on their face shows anger, remorse, pity and sympathy

And this was a residence for the Nobles, so it was obviously not done by this set of people cleaning the place and corpses, the set of people who were the servants of the Red dynasty

And in a split second she thought, have this been done by the hands of the Organization?, The thought of the likelihood of that sent chills through her body
