STEEL AND FLESH WORRIES
Darkness was upon them and an inn was nowhere to be found anywhere around the places they had passed so they resorted to a grass land with some few trees which stood there.Lord Mordian and Klara put their luggages down reliving their horses of the load and Romeo unfastened the harness that connected the wagon from the two horses that pulled it. With the moonlight making things a bit visible Romeo took it upon himself to feed the horses with some hay so they could be strong and fit for the remaining journey that lay ahead. Klara began to cook some beef soup so they could combine it with some of the barley bread they had brought with them and pass the night.Lord Mordian took out some heavy cloth from his sack bag and spread it so he could have a comfortable place to lay until the beef soup was ready."Um Romeo fetch me some of dry wood inside the wagon." Klara pointed at the wagon as she requested of Romeo speaking with a bit of urgency."Okay." He hurried towards the wagon did as he
STEEL AND FLESH BEEF SOUP
In no time Klara was done dishing out the contents of the pot and food was ready to be served.The image of his bed ridden nephew filled his minds eye and at once his spirit plunged. "Do not give up Lauihnio - my boy, my soldier, uncle is coming back and he is going to fix the mess he brought on Bauthinia." Lord Mordian whispered strongly to himself while he stared at the pitch black sky. "I swear by Oridon's mace I will not rest until I bring the Badorna lotus to Bauthinia to the arch cytix priest so they will purge you of -""Lord Mordian, it is time to eat." Romeo bent down close to his side.Lord Mordian gasped in surprise instantly and seeing it was Romeo he heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh Romeo what again." He scowled at him."The food is ready - Klara says you should come over and have a bite. It is beef soup and some barley bread, I have tasted it, it is so delicious." He said satisfactorily, licking his fingers."I am not hungry, Thank you." He said dismissively rolling over to
STEEL AND FLESH HALF TRUTH
"No - far from that." He snorted then paused for a while. "Originally that was not my intention for my journey to Merveilland, it am no longer in search of power, fame and influence anymore, I had all of that when I was a mercenary during my service to the Elerian crown." "But I thought you are Bauthinian?""I am not just any other average Bauthinian, I am a Bauthinian prince, I am the second son of King Pannio Cascio Taz Lunserk." "Wow that is interesting - so where is your entourage?" Klara said jokingly."That is a long story however I am on a secret quest, a quest that no high born or low born citizen in Bauthinia is expected to have any idea about.""Okay what about this long story of yours, I will like to hear it, I will like to know why the second son of a king which I believe must be a very powerful king does not move with a entourage - no offense young Romeo here is too young to do some gruesome fighting when your life is at risk."Romeo's face did not show any signs that h
STEEL AND FLESH TRUST ISSUES
"Are you serious, that is good news, Romeo do you hear that?" He gave him a pat on his shoulder. "Here in Merveilland it is so easy to get the red feverfew plant - that means we will retrieve it without any fuss and with everything in place we will be back home in no time." Lord Mordian smiled feigning happiness.Romeo was not excited because he was aware that Lord Mordian was lying but he had to play along with his master, he put up a fake smile to cover up his disappointment towards Lord Mordian."I think you would have been less worried if you had talked to me about your need for the red feverfew plant." Said Klara."I am sorry Klara, the thing is that I have a problem with trusting people - I am sorry.""Apologies accepted Lord Mordian." She nodded gently. "Now let me leave you to your food, I am feeling sleepy, good night boys." Klara stood up from where she was sitting and moved to sleep behind the wagon which was distant from them.Lord Mordian was done with his beef soup but h
STEEL AND FLESH RISKY LIVING
It was dawn and all three of them were set for the journey having arranged their belongings properly on the horses and also inside the wagon however they did not take a bath due to the absence of a water body nearby but instead they put on new clothes. Their journey was smooth without the troubles of any brigands, they rode on the beasts and after about an hour the big tall gate to Pinkiland was now visible from afar. Apart from sighting the gate which was open The three travellers could see some elves walking in and out of the gate. At the sight of her fellow elves moving in and out of the gates she was filled with joy, she believed that with the gate open and her fellow elves moving in and out of the city things were not as bad as she thought because before she had travelled to Payan there was a lockdown in Pinkiland, it was a move to reduce the spread of the Skin rotter and that effort by the Pinkiland authorities were followed up strictly. "Look." She pointed towards the distant
STEEL AND FLESH FAMILY
Klara looked worried. "Why does the government allow these creatures from outside to come into our city when they are fully aware of what the Skaezer has done to their own cities." She snapped."Hey keep your voice low, you do not need to sound like a segregate here in the open, It is bad." Dejar motioned for Klara to calm down. "No one knows why the government allowed them to come into our city however by the order of prince Elrond the soldiers at the gate make sure that no one with the Skaezer uses the gate either coming in or going out.""You also make sure you cover your nose and mouth cause they say the disease is air borne." The third elf said with his crackling voice."Yes that is true."Klara shook her head in dismay. "This is so sad hear." She said. "How many elves have died due to Skaezer?"Dejar held his chin. "According to the government about a thousand six hundred." He replied.Klara's eyes were wide open. "A thousand six hundred." "Yes that is how bad it is.""Great Or
STEEL AND FLESH THE DEADLY PLAGUE
She got down from her horse and moved towards her brother. "Hello Nogolas, how are you." She moved to hug him but he restrained motioning for her to keep her distance. She scowled confused at the sudden behaviour of Nogolas her brother.Lord Mordian was surprised at this too and wondered if he was under the influence of wine or a magic spell."Let me see your skin." Nogolas requested coldly. He seemed to be very cautious."Oh my skin." Klara recovered from the shock and raised up her long sleeve so she could expose her skin to her brother.Lord Mordian flashed his eyebrows and breath a sigh of relief.After carefully glancing at her skin from a distance he became relaxed and smiled once more at her. "You are okay big sister." He said. "Sorry for all of that, I am just being careful so that I will not get infected that is all." He chuckled.Both of them hugged each other affectionately. "Oh I miss you all." She smiled as she was filled with joy to be back home."Zair! Zair!" He called o
STEEL AND FLESH THE VISIT
"As you are out there make sure you are careful, avoid skin contact with other people and remember to cover your nose." Nogolas warned."Yes I will Nogolas - thank you for the advice." Lord Mordian said. "So I will be off then." He moved out of the house and closed the door behind him.He moved over to Craigan and began to unpack his luggages, Zair had come out of the house to pick up some of the things that were inside the wagon and on the horses. "Um Zair." He called out. Zair turned to him. "Please look after my horse for me and make sure the bags are unpacked - hear is a gold coin for you." He flipped the coin at Zair and he caught it, still static at the point where he stood. With the coin in his hands he examined it and after that he grimaced at Lord Mordian looking at him with threatening eyes while he clenched his jaw. "This is not Pinkiland coin and Goldsmith services are expensive." He flipped back the coin at Lord Mordian. "I do not need your coin - every luggage here will
