“There are so many of them,”
“Keep it down, they will hear us.”
“Guys, stop talking.”
Ivan silently listened to his friends.
All three of them were hiding in these bushes since the morning. Just like him, his friends, Amon, Ched and Lola were interested in seeing humans and dwarves.
They had heard about humans and how scary they were. There were a few villagers who came from the other villages that were ransacked by humans. And they had many terrifying stories about how humans came and killed their people and captured others.
He even had nightmares about humans in his dreams. Especially after the death of his
Ivan didn’t know what to say. Brother Jop, who was invited for lunch at first, escaped giving several excuses. His friends failed to notice this. He had to admit the alluring smell of cooked meat, vegetables and rice were enough to drag his attention too. He could not figure out why Brother Jop would run away from these foods. The delicious smell was enough to make him almost drooling just by smelling the food. “We have some guests?” He heard someone talking. Ivan realised other than three of them, no one else from their villages was inside the camp. Everyone he saw was a stranger. He unconsciously moved closer to David when he saw the curious eyes of humans on him. He wondered if they would turn them into slaves, and if that was the reason brother Jop ran away. However, his three friends were oblivious to all this. He could see them sniffing into the air, smelling the food. “Come on. You guys can sit here.” Ivan finally saw what he was looking for. In the middle of the
‘My poor Brother.’ That was all she thought.Maya ran here as fast as possible. Everyone treated her brother differently, even in their own village. She knew there were others, but he was the only child that looked like that. She always tried her best to protect him. After their parents passed away, Maya felt it was more important for her to keep him safe.Her body hurt. She was unsure if she fell on the way here. She felt her vision was blurry. Still, she tried her best to hold her tears. This place shouldn’t be kind to her. She didn’t expect them to treat her well because of her tears. Even in the village, there were many families who lost some members.She was in the fields when Jop told her Ivan was in the strangers’ camp. She didn’t know how he got there. Usually, he wo
Maya was confused.She saw the awkward looks on their faces.“I told you, they didn’t tell,”It was an old human that looked with a slightly disappointed smile. She did not know why they would ask them to come with them. She and her brother had nothing much to offer them. Even though she felt much more relaxed, looking at her brother’s face, she felt an unknown pressure on her.Maya knew her brother liked the relaxed atmosphere of the camp. They didn’t look at him differently. However, she knew that was because these people were used to being around Jackson. When there were others, her brother would be looked at differently.She could not comprehend this matter. Some looked disappointed whi
Maya had a lot to think about on the way back.Thought about their future worried her. She wondered if she had put her people in trouble.Still, she felt it was unfair to hide this news. Those people, including the one that was walking in front of her, were strong. They were strong enough to protect them. She believed if someone wanted; they had the right to leave with Jackson and the others.She looked at Ivan, who was again playing with his friends along the way.Jackson was like a towering figure walking in front of her. His armour covered most of his body. The large shield and the long axe on his waist made him look like a true warrior. She noticed his tail was too long, and he was dragging it along the path like other Crocodile tribe people.&
These roads and villages brought too many memories to him.Even though they were once pleasant, it was not anymore.‘Sigh,’ David remembered the time they had in the village.The only thing that satisfied him was having Mila and Arya with him. Otherwise, there was nothing for him to live for. He was hoping these people would join them and leave this place. All this freedom they had was an illusion that would only last for a little while longer.Eventually, these people would be found, and they would suffer the same fate he and his village suffered. David had heard there were many other villages and even some powerful leaders of Beast men living to the north. However, until today he had seen none of them. “Hello everyone!”‘That is not right,’ David felt awkward, it was his first time speaking like this.He knew there was fear in them, and most of them were looking at him with fear. He realised this was the same panic and fear he saw from his people, the day he lost everything.In a moment, his memories rushed back to the flaming village where he lay in pain, hoping to get up and help his wife who was crying by his side. He remembered the endless cries of Arya.The memories of burning flesh, screams of fear and pain made him feel defenceless. He had buried these memories deep in his heart. The looks on these people brought them back to the surface. He felt he was one of those murderers who came to ruin the lives of these people.Blood Wolf Chapter 196: They Are People
“Why do you sound sad?”Mila was waiting to ask this for a while.She couldn’t do it because Arya always had a lot to tell her father. She would spend her time playing with the children, and at night, she would spend reading books with her. Mila was happy, Arya had a fulfilling day, and she had a lot to tell David about her little adventures and the city.“Today, I think a lot about our village.”Mila was about to speak when she heard David’s answer. She felt the pain in his voice. It was something even she was sad about. Mila felt there was something stuck in her throat.It has been years since that incident, but she could remember it as if it happened a day a
Adam looked at the strange mark on his arm.There was a mark that looked like, ‘three leaves,’ below his wrist. This resulted from the Blood Bond spell. Mr Thomas finally cast it successfully. However, after completing the spell, Mr Thomas fainted. Only after about an hour, he woke up. Even after that, he went back to sleep.Adam checked him to see if it had done any damages to Mr Thomas, but he realised it was just exhaustion from casting the spell. It was enough for him to realise that the Blood Bond spell was powerful enough even to drain out a 9th tier magician.However, other than this strange mark that appeared on his and King Rothgar’s hands, there was no notable effect on them.Preparation for the spell was not very hard.
