Chapter 54: Negotiation
Azi looked at the city of 'Khojila' where people were busy removing sand which had partially buried the city, the golden sand under the effect of a sunrise had morphed the entire scenery into a breathtaking picturesque one that no one could recreate as if it was a work of god.
Zeus spoke with amazement evident in his voice as he spoke, "Wow, it is amazingly breathtaking."
Tarasque wordlessly nodded at that as Azi spoke, "Even if a tragedy has occurred in this city I cannot not help but overlook the anguish of the citizens but be mesmerized by the beauty the city portrayed."
Zeus nodded as he spoke, "Well if someone asks me I will say that comparing this city to a jewel or pearl is horribly heretically wrong if you ask me to me it looks like a blushing woman madly in love with her beloved soul-mate and is trying to seduce her mate by wearing nothing but his shirt."
Tarasque raised her eyebrows as she spoke, "Since when are so romantic."
Zeus shrugged at that as he spoke, "I am always romantic, Tarasque unfortunately no one noticed it."
Azi: "So when will they arrive here?"
Zeus shrugged as he spoke, "I believe sometime during the afternoon, currently it is dawn so I think we should search for some quests and finish them fast enough."
Tarasque nodded at that as they moved through the city in order to get a quest or two.
At half past 2 pm a small caravan entered the city, one of the person present inside the caravan spoke with a tired sigh, "Why are we here again, BlizzardQueen?"
BlizzardQueen spoke with a smile, "Well we are meeting one my acquaintance who has gotten a quest, a rather difficult quest as such he has asked me to help him out, not only that there is a chance we can rope him and his friends into our 'Guild'."
"So your friends are they famous?"
Blizzardqueen gave a smirk as she spoke, "Of course they are, after all they are the have conquered dungeons in hell and nightmare mode."
The others who listened at that had their eyes widen as one of them spoke in disbelief, "No way are they the famous 'Manly pink Panda'?"
One of them cleared her throat as she spoke, "Dear you forgot the word fluffy."
BlizzardQueen's friend CelestialMaiden, the person who BlizzardQueen was trying to help spoke for the first time, "Are they trustworthy?"
BlizzardQueen gave a small smile as she spoke, "I trust them with my life, specially Zeus if you can manage to befriend him you will gain a lot from him, and the only reason he gave his word that he will help you is because I asked him to nothing more nothing less."
A few hours later they managed to reach Khojila City, as BlizzardQueen along with CelestialMaiden and couple of others reached the town center square, leaving behind a group of four to keep an on their caravan as well procure any supplies needed. A few minutes later Zeus and his group reached the town square as they arrived BlizzardQueen stepped forward and hugged each of them before she turned towards her team as she spoke, "Well everyone Zeus this is my sister in all but blood CelestialMaiden and along with her the red armor wearing person is Sylphy and the white robe wearing one is TacoGirl."
Zeus nodded towards them with a smile before he raised her eyebrow at the last person who spoke with a sigh, "I love Tacos.", causing Zeus to shrug, 'Well whatever floats one's boat after all I picked the first name that came to my mind.'
Sylphy had a scowl on her face, as she spoke to the trio, "If I may ask, what level are you three?"
Azi replied back nonchalantly at that, "We are at halfway through level 15."
Sylphy's scowl deepened further as spoke, "They are so weak, currently the weakest one in our team is Sister TacoGirl, even then she is at level 24 almost 25."
Tarasque frowned at that as she spoke, "Well if I recall it is you all that require help not us."
Sylphy snarled at that as she spoke, "Why you…"
Only to be stopped by CelestialMaien, "Slyphy enough.", she turned towards Zeus and his teammates as she spoke, "I am sorry for that, the last few days have been hectic for us as such my teammate lost her cool."
Zeus gave her a comforting smile as he spoke, "I understand miss, and to have such wonderful and caring friends as them is truly wonderful."
CelestialMaiden smiled at that as she spoke, "It is Zeus, it is. My friend here wanted to help you out with your quest so may I know about what quest is this."
Azi then spoke with a smile "Certainly but I think we should discuss it away from who knows if someone decides to eavesdrop on us.", as she discreetly glanced towards a roof top, CelestialMaiden simply gave the look as if she was setting her hair as she cast a quick glance towards the roof top nearby to see someone indeed was spying on them where the others were perfectly still.
CelestialMaiden simply nodded at that as she spoke, "Of course why not my character is already hungry why don't we visit a restaurant where we can speak freely and oh let me add you three as your friend."
A message suddenly appeared in front of his HUD, which the trio promptly accepted it and soon enough they began exchanging various messages with the group they were about to align themselves to.
[ZEUS: do you know who that is?]
[CELESTIALMAIDEN: I do not know that person's name but I have seen him many times spying on me mostly whenever I try to recruit some people not only that he is extremely slippery we have never manage to catch him.]
[AZI: so he is your fiancé's dog.]
[CELESTIALMAIDEN: yes and he and his group had managed to poach many of the people from my guild.]
[TARASQUE: troublesome so does that mean his team is nearby?]
[SYLPHY: of course they are, and if they learn about you three trying to help us he will use any means necessary to make you leave us as such if possible I want the entire conversation be done through messages instead of it being verbal.]
[ZEUS: NP]
The group nodded as they moved towards a restaurant as they took a seat Zeus messaged them once again,
[ZEUS: where are your other teammates should they not be with you?]
[TACOGIRL: we believe one of them is a spy for that douche as such we are trying to limit their involvement as much as possible without alerting her.]
Zeus sighed as BluzzardQueen messaged to him, [BLIZZARDQUEEN: now do you see what you are getting into.]
[CELESTAILMAIDEN: brother Zeus I am asking too much from you already helping me with my problem so if you wish to leave you may because if you do not do he might attack you.]
[ZEUS: well let that gutless monkey try I will deal with him but more importantly I want to say you the same after all the quest we are about to accomplish is a very difficult one not only that failure can cause great amounts of penalty in fact when we were given the quest we got two options firstly accepted the quest or spend some time inside a jail for as long as the quest is not completed. So I will ask you will you accept it along side us or not?]
[BLIZZARDQUEEN: I do not see why we shouldn't although if you share the quest makes sure that you share it with only the four of us and the rest you may after we reach the destination is it alright?]
[AZI: NP]
As the silent conversation was going a hooded person was sitting near them on a table hidden from their sight as they eavesdropped at their conversation, 'tch, this is boring why do I have to listen to the boasting of the blizzard bitch about some wimpy pansy who can cook better than some chef, real man do not cook they make those creatures called woman cook after all this was the only reason they were born for cooking and a stress relief.'
