Chapter 25: Chapter 25 : Drips
Gyll sat on the log by the fire, he looked into the flame and turned to look at Herian, "You really think it's that bad?" Razyl asked.
"Absolutely, my father would never send his men to the village, he always stood against the noblemen who wanted to cut down the forest," Herian replied.
"Why'd the noblemen want to cut down the forest?!" asked Gyll.
"The kingdom needs space to grow, the north, south and west are too mountainous and the kingdom doesn't want to look aggressive towards the elven kingdom," Herian explained.
"Ask him if it's likely his father was killed." Mi requested, looking at Gyll.
"Do you think your father is alright?" Gyll asked.
"I doubt it, I have hope but I just can't see that, he would never step down like that, and I was the next in line to be king," Herian claimed.
The group sat silently by the fire, "Are you planning to go?" Kaber asked.
"I have to," Herian replied.
"I'm sorry to say Herian, we can't go with you," Kaber said.
Herian replied with a nod and a smile.
Gyll turned to Kaber, "We can't just let him go and die." Gyll argued.
Kaber let out a little laugh, "What are you going to do? you almost died fighting one knight, you will face the city's defences." Kaber replied.
"It would be helpful to gain the recognition of a kingdom," Mi commented.
"Are you planning to take over the throne?" Razyl asked the prince.
"I'll try," Herian replied.
"Let's make a deal!" Gyll said, with his hand outstretched towards the prince.
"A deal?" The prince questioned.
"We'll help you take back the throne, in return, you'll support our fort, village thing once you're in power." Gyll elaborated.
The prince taught about the deal for a while, scratching his chin.
"Your offer is kind, but I cannot accept." The prince replied.
"Why not?" Razyl asked.
"If what Kaber said is right ... I can't endanger you all." Herian explained.
The group was silent again, "Alright, let's all have some sleep and then think about what to do in the morning." Razyl suggested.
Everyone agreed, and the group slept by the fire.
The next morning...
Herian was nowhere to be found, Gyll looked everywhere around the camp, but soon accepted what happened, there was no way the prince would abandon his kingdom.
And Kaber was right, Gyll didn't stand a chance against a trained and armored knight.
Chapter 26: Chapter 26 : Old Crow n' Owl
The previous night...
The old man walked with the aid of a long walking stick, his long, thin, white beard almost reached his ankles, a large bag on his back, of what seemed to be scrolls.
To his left he noticed two lizardmen sleeping, one large and muscular the other smaller, next to them was a man sleeping pressed up against a tree, beside him a small black haired child.
One man stood out, this was because he was awake, a blond-haired man wearing fancy armor.
"Hey there!" the old man called out to the man.
This made the man jump, he quickly turned to the old man and put a finger up against his lips, quickly the blond man walked up to the old man.
"What do you want old man?" The blond man demanded.
"Oh, I was just making my way to the kingdom near here, and it looked like you're heading there yourself, prince." the old man said with a grin.
The prince was more alert now, "How did you know who I am?" the prince asked,
The old man laughed, "So I was right!" the old man replied.
The prince let out a sigh, "So it was just a guess?" he asked.
The old man simply smiled and turned back to the road.
"Well, are you going?" the old man asked.
The prince looked at the group, he made sure Gyll, Kaber and Razyl were sleeping, before running up to the old man and offering to carry his bag.
Mi was now sitting on top of the tree, staring down at the old man, and the prince,
Mi sheathed her mace back into her sleeve.
"It's him again..." Mi sighed.
"How'd he find me this time..." Mi taught to herself, before deciding to head back down to sleep.
"It's best I don't mention this to the guys..." Mi taught to herself.
"I could just make something up about him leaving to live with his cousin or something... or maybe that he died..." Mi continued to think...
"I don't know..." Mi sighed, before dozing off to sleep.
