Derek ran as hard and fast as he could while Aesir covered his exit. However, with the weight of Gina now on his back, his speed had reduced significantly. And that was even with him barely activating his flash pace technique.Slowly, the wolves were gaining on them, and sure enough, one or two actually over took them and tried attacking from the front. Derek dived on the ground as dodged the attack of the beast. This was not because it would have caused him any harm. After all, he was a writer, and the amount of things that could harm him in the world were very few. He dodged because it was going to hinder the momentum he was using to progress forward.Aesir willed and his blade shot like a bullet through the air, cutting through the abdomen of the wild wolf.More and more wolves jumped in front to block their advance. Derek reached behind him. Pulling out one of Gina's swords from it's scabbard. He swong it left and right, making quick work of the wolves in front of him. Soon en
Soon enough, they were led to an underworld village. It was different here. This was clearly underground yet the atmosphere was condusive with a bit of chilly wind to add to the mix. The house were built inside the walls of the mountain and it made it look like holes on a bee hive. Caves littered as far as the eyes could see. As they progressed forward, members of the tribe came out to welcome them. Derek looked at a tribe of people that he had never seen or heard about ever before. They were all dressed partially naked. Infact, for the more younger ones, some were entirely naked. Derek suspected maybe it was as a result of the environment with lack of clothing materials or maybe it was just as a result of ease if movement.Some of the younger kids gathered around them put their hands in request. Derek did not know what they wanted and looked to Madeline for assistance."It is customary for guests to bring gifts." Madeline answered."Oh! Gifts. Sorry sports we don't really have
"And I say you are prisoners. My prisoners for breeding. Who are you, but a mere male to attempt to argue with me.?"Those words sounded like insane thunder inside Derek's head. He could not believe that this woman had just called him a mere male. Every testosterone in his body was currently angry at that statement.Those words also made Adria mad but he could see that Derek was soon about to lose his cool major time."Chief Lady, or whatever you call yourself, you will have to swallow back those words or forgive me, I will have to make you swallow them back myself.""Huh!" Madeline looked at Derek in surprise. She remembered she had signalled him to rebel not challenge the queen. Especially not in her own tuff."Guards!" The Red-painted faced woman called out and a bunch of women holding spears ran into the room with their bone spears aimed directly at Derek and his friends.Chief Sasha waved her hand, "Milan! You and your warriors may drop your spears.""But Mother!" She protested,
As Derek was pulled once more into the land of dreams, he felt a sudden heat go through out his body, and into his his soul. It made him feel better. In fact, he felt like he had been given the warmest blanket in a world of ice."I know you can feel it too." Hayaa whispered as he slept. "We need it. It is important we get it."The feeling from the heat saturated him entirely.It felt so comfortable that he did not want to wake up.But then his eyes slowly opened up. The room was semi bright with lanterns around. He slowly sat up right as he coughed slightly. It was from the smell of the room and it came from an incense in the corner.He coughed some more as he struggled to stand. These days, Derek had to admit to himself that he had been passing out a little to regularly.But for a moment, he couldn't help but remember how he would formerly wake up to the sight of melons in his face. Thinking this far, he could not help but worry as to the condition of Tiny and Lydia. As he stood up,
"So let me get this straight, you sold me and Aesir out!" Derek complained with a brow up."Nope! I did not!" Madeline argued."What do you mean you did not. You just said you exchanged your life for the promise of two men.""Exactly! That Is exactly what I said. Believe it or not, this is not the only tribe in this place. I could have just captured men from other tribes and bring them here. It was just a coincidence that both of you happened to drop by when business was booming."Derek turn to look at Aesir. Did she just say BUSINESS!?? Please tell me you heard her say business too."Aesir sighed as he nodded."Besides, you two are perverts. I knew you would just love to be in a village filled with only women." Madeline added.Derek wanted to argue with what she just said, but she knew him too well,and he could not deny that for him and Aesir, this was not exactly a lie. And so he attempted changing the question tactically."Okay! If you weren't expecting us, then why did you come fo
"priestess!" The guard that led them in immediately went on her knees in a bow. And when the old lady that had entered into the room moved forward a bit the guard took her out stretched hand and gave a light kiss on it."Yes my child you have done well you may leave now." The old woman commanded and the guard left the room.This woman wore more clothes as compared to the others of the tribe. In fact, she was fully dressed in a gown that was obviously made entirely of animal skin.Madeline immediately bowed at her and signalled Aesir, Derek and Gina to also bow. They understood what she meant and proceeded to bow, but before Derek could bow his head, she immediately grabbed him by the shoulder. Instantly stopping him.Although he did not know why she stopped him, he did not question her. She grabbed his shoulders tightly as she looked at him properly. She even held his face with one hand and looked deeply into his eyes.As she scrutinized him, he also looked at her strangely. This was
"Hmmm!""Let's go then," Madeline suggested and the four of them went back to their cave.Derek sat in a cross leg position to meditate, while Aesir practiced some of his moves with Gina. And lastly, Madeline was busy thinking about the words of the old woman when she had entered the room.Meanwhile,shortly after Derek and his friends had left the shrine. In fact, barely seconds, the Chief came visiting the Priestess. If Derek had seen this, he would have been surprised. After all, the moment he had left that hole, he had totally forgotten the way there."Is he the one?" She asked as soon as she got to the cavern.However, the priestess did not even pay her any mind. All she did was remain staring and the two floating lanterns far up in the distance.But the chief was not angry at this at all. "If you are not going to tell me, I'll have to find out myself. She was about to leave when the voice of the Priestess reached her."Why do you even doubt?" She asked without turning back.The
However, life and the surprises it always presented was never always truly fair. He was nor sixteen years of age and on one particular morning, he and some of his friends went deep into the mountains to search for herbs.Unfortunately, a snow storm started and they were unable to return in time. In fact, they had no choice but to pass the night at the house of a villager.By the time the storm was done and they returned to the temple. All that laid before their eyes was a mess. The the big temple doors that had welcomed his arrival at one time had now been turned into broken wood. Like lumber that was being prepared to be dumped in a fire.They ran into the monastery compound only to find their friends and family dead. It was total destruction.He checked and found out that the monastery had been robbed by bandits.As he and his friends searched for survivals , he found that old man that had pretended to be a beggar laying with an arrow to his chest. Blood bathed his clothes and one
