The Apogian War

chapter 10

A huge looking man said to a seller."I meant slow disrespect sir said the frightened seller it's just how the prices of the foods keep sky rocketing a-and,,,"you said this last night and the nights before that when I bought this same pula for three silver coins and now you're telling me it's two silver how possible is that I ask the why I said angry I'm sorry sir but that is the final price it's not my fault but the mysterious Red beast that keep attacking Travelers the seller continue without the buyer walked away. Rudy talk around said welcome the buyer replied sheepishly"I was passing by I could not tell but distance to your conversation what did you say about the Red beast and the Travelers Darkovan asked the seller "I hope am not intruding what if I may why big interest is such things when you should be running away from them for Fe ar of bad omens"looking at him in a strange manner.

"Believe me Darkovan said I pay no attention to such omens, because I believe them not, and that which you do not believe would not work for you all is'nt that true he said turning to both Peseidon and clover for their contribution decrease I looked at him in a confused there and said I've only had the rumors from my fellow traders but they say the red beast threw fires on the travellers cart, so they had to run for their lives, leaving the harvested goods behind to be burnt by the beast consuming fire"

Do you know any of the deceased travellers I can speak to at this moment? Darkovan said yes yes there is wrong those below the caravan over there, the one wearing the black overall behind the table, I think he was one of them,the trader said pointing at a little red caravan and a man behind it brushing something off his big black overall.

"Thank you for your time mister may the lord of light bless you" "bless you too" the trader replied to Darkovan as he and his two servants walked away towards the man wearing the big black overall coat, "good day mister", Darkovan said to the man wearing the overall "good day"the man replied placidly "what have I to do for you" he said to Darkovan do you know anything about the fire incident no the man answered,but Darkovan had seen through his lie and knew he was only lying to avoid getting involved in any sort of trouble, he then said as Darkovan gave him a sharp stare not saying anything"I know a thing or two but I don't want any trouble".

"I assure you, mister no harm shall come your way" Darkovan said reassuringly "I was a merchant who deliveres goods from the factory to the shipyard and then back to the traders, on my way one day Coming back with the remaining of my goods to deliver to the traders, there was a sudden wave of hot air as I went, I rode on assuming it was my instincts and not real,but ask turned back behold three fire demons throwing down fire balls at me,

I tried to manoeuvre my way out by over running them but my cart was already on fire, so I had to come down and run for my live" the buyer narrated how he met a fellow traveller who helped him on his way but Darkovan had already gotten what he wanted he thanked the man and assured him again that he was safe.

Darkovan and his two servants arrived at a nearby pub and lounge there "thank the lord of light,there are no drunks here"clover said to himself as they walked into the pub.

They got a room for just two silver coins and were no sooner inside the room, Darkovan layed down thinking of Ella,how she cuddled up in his arms begging him not to go away, he swore to her that he will be back for her but he didn't tell her when he will be back.

Darkovan was caught off from his thoughts when he heard clover talking to Peseidon"Do you think it's related to the mysterious woman we saw earlier?" Clover said to Peseidon in-between mouth fulls of Pula he had bought on his way for them to eat before they slept.

"What woman"Darkovan said as he joined into the conversation,"oh it was mysterious woman who was holding a small sword and an armour made of metals but nobody seemed to notice her as she passed by except me and Peseidon here so we found it quite mysterious, that a woman of her status as a female warrior would walk in the market place which were filled with female traders would pass unnoticed.

"Lord of light, Darkovan blurted out so this is what this is about, nodding his head slowly up and down and back and forth.

"What is it my lord " clover said looking worried,"is your mind so feeble that you can't see or understand what I say" Darkovan said still shaking his head,"but you haven't said anything, my lord"clover said with that undertone of a joke in his voice remember I told you to about her Ausburn and Faltron got married right!?, Peseidon and Clover nodded slowly and this my friend is there doing husband sent his well beast to attack the traders and faction kills them after that to avoid more casualties to make it seem the Travelers we're just coming up with the story and not enough proof to capture the attention of how their and their King, clover and Poseidon continue their rhythmic northern and slowly answered yes or no as Darkovan kept talking.

Or am I wrong the coven suddenly out"i mean no disrespect sir clover said but you may be"," but one thing is sure Peseidon said those red beast where the work of Ausburn "I'm sure of that certainly"Darkovan thought.

as this undercover on the shades on the conference bed he woke up with a young he had almost forgotten where he was when the reality of the journey came flooding into him as Poseidon said I think you slept a little bit later and we are to blame for it it will be a glance at where clover has been snoring working out yourself my dear faithful Poseidon for utmost I did not wake up as a baby and certainly not before a fortnight Darkovan said please do not say that it will not die yes I don't said at least any more he thought.

Remember you said you lost council I told her your name and at the same time smiling he knew where he was getting at with his relentless Humour. But that covered just married at him and said well you're not yourself clover for it is true that I lost count but it may be about a thousand years waiting for me than for you that of and loved cloviloop models his own joke hard turned on him but before he could say anything else but I don't said I think I have an idea if I mean sir you may go ahead I'll convince self why don't we go to the place of the attack to be sure instead of taking the words of the traders and blue crane with our thoughtsand how do you expect us to do that clover said well we might as well travel along with travellers pass I don't have heard that's a good idea that government thought but how we doing drivers we might not be as lucky as you travel as except clover said as he and Peseidon both looked up at Darkovan.

the hunters were on their way towards the central plaza of the domain they could almost hear the speaker of parliament should have given his usual speech on how did the main was to be improved if they will pay their taxes earlier and various achievements the domain has put up.
