Warrior Oddity More Bad News...
Maral and Dren look back to see Florian easily picking up their baskets and packages that had them loaded like mules. To their surprise, they struggled carrying that amount of weight and every time they got used to it, the loads only increased. Florian shifted the weight to one hand and happily waved at the dumbfounded kids. “Wow miss! You're so strong!” Maral exclaims, Florian grins bashfully “You bet I am!” The horses take a slow and steady walk, heading straight towards the village and slow enough for Florian to walk comfortably alongside them. The path draws closer to an entrance, occasionally having to retreat out of sight to avoid the gazes of the wandering knights. Eventually, they arrive in the village of Kilerth. The sun sat at its peak, affording them a few more hours of travelling. Kilerth, like many of the villages before, was a slum-like village with poor conditions. However Kilerth possessed its own peculiarity, much like night and day, the village both held the good
Warrior Oddity Odd Encounter at the Axe Baron Inn
They walk towards the inn, glancing around to make sure no one is following just in case. Khio fastens the horses' reins to the horizontal post, with enough reach for the water trough and food. The inn's door holds a sign with the name in front. Another unique name appeared, as the sign read: 'Axe Baron Inn.' No matter how unusual a name, an inn is still an inn and some good rest is highly needed. Now thinking about it... It had been days since any of them got a decent night of sleep. Rhetta looks at the top of the door, noticing some words carved into the wood. Rhetta reads the words aloud “Ad pacificos?” “It means 'To the peacemakers.' if I recall correctly.” Florian states “What's that supposed to mean?” Khio grumbles, hating how every place has a weird slogan that doesn't make obvious sense. “It means this is the safest place for us to rest, it's the same as Onion Ore, neutral ground. Axe Baron is a little more...strict you could say.” Florian pushes open the heavy door and h
Warrior Oddity Clean Getaway
“I'm just hoping when we all get together, Basil will explain the situation to us. It's obvious he knows something we don't.”“Oho, I see you're dropping the honorific now Florian. Still- you came here on his word without knowing anything.” Khio jests and nudges Florian with her elbow. “Look, I don't call him by his title aside from an official capacity. He's always been like that, he never really explains anything and expects you to figure everything out by yourself.” “Mhm, sure...” Khio retorts, enjoying Florian's disgruntled expressions. “Basil hates wasting energy, there is always a reason for the things he does. So I will put my trust in his laziness alone.” “Still, it's difficult to trust someone hatching schemes when we don't know the outcome.” Rhetta adds, Khio nods furiously in agreement and stares at Florian as if to imply the voice of reason had spoken. Rhetta fiddles with her hands impatiently “Considering everything, you have proven that you want to help. I don't com
Warrior Oddity Lurking Under the Surface
Khio ceases her struggling and Florian could finally let go without the fear of her wanting to charge back into the fray. Rhetta kept looking out, peaking around the area where they left their horses. Imperial knights had the same idea, so it seemed. They seized the horses, as they had imperial brands on their necks. Local knights run to join the imperial knights, the air of discord between them is evident. Just by the manner in which the imperial knights looked down on the local knights, however, still required their numbers and knowledge of the area. They would be subjected to the dirty work. They
Warrior Oddity Saint's Blessing
“Khio, you received a saint's blessing! Why didn't I realize it until now!?” Florian exclaims with great excitement. Khio looks at her, the saint's blessing was some temple talk that Khio never really lent an ear to. “What?” The perplexed expression on her face said it all, she had never realized it. “Just now when you told them to lay down and they listened, did you not feel anything?”
Warrior Oddity Unveiling “Kramoris”
“Is it even possible for someone to be this beautiful?” Rhetta muttered to herself. “He's so pretty!” Florian blurts out, really admiring his features.Even Rhetta who had never paid attention to the appearance of others could not deny that she was astounded by his beauty.
Warrior Oddity Face Value
'Thankfully they couldn't see what I was holding just then...Defending myself with a measly letter opener would have been difficult. Besides, I don't have a penchant for violence.' Kramoris indulges his thoughts before getting back to the matter. “As expected from the empire's greatest merchant, I see you're a man of many talents.” Rhetta speaks, it felt more like a fact than an attempt of flattery. “Second best merchant in the empire.” Kramoris is quick to cor
Warrior Oddity Something Up His Sleeve
A monstrous creature treads into the forest, heavy weighted steps made the ground groan with every leaden trod. They were slow, unsteady steps. The creature appeared exhausted and dazed, it neared where the group were hiding. The overwhelming stench of blood and rot filled their senses.Hammy whimpered softly and backed away from the tree. Khio had her hands full trying to soothe Hammy and keep her eye on the creature. She undoubtedly had a good sense of a creature and their innate temperament, this information would help her decide on the method she needed to tame them. For some reason, this creature had no such feeling. It felt hollow, deathly and glum. The form of its body ha
