Kapitel 7: [Almost there!]
"Ah! Those fuckers!" I groaned in pain a little as I moved into the caravan again.
-BOOM!!!
Those bandits came again.
"Vow that you will protect me from everything that is going to come at me," I said as I looked at Rivas.
His eyes narrowed as he added that clause, too.
I opened the gate.

"How am I even dying? Wait! What if the curse was cast before I was even there?" I pondered before nodding as I went into the caravan again.
"Put your life on the line. If I die, you will kill yourself," I asked him to vow again as he looked at me with a sceptical gaze.
"Sure," he nodded before he added that clause.
I opened the gate again.

"Not that either, huh?" I mumbled as I wondered what if they had someone who was hiding things from Rivas himself?
-Boom!
The bandits came again.
"All of you vow to me with your life on the line that until we reach the destination, if I die you will die as well," I asked.
"Okay," Rivas nodded and vowed as usual.
He looked at the others with him and one by one, everyone did that too… except one man.
"Nirag. Vow… we don't have any option here," Rivas commanded as he looked at Nirag but the mage looked at others as if he had been constipated or something. So it was him, huh?
"Nirag!" Mira also joined Rivas as she glared at Nirag before he sighed as he looked at me and chanted,
"[By the Devils and the Fallen Angels! I remove the curse placed upon this man at the cost of a portion of my life]!"
"Fucker!" I cursed under my breath as I looked at him with a glare. The others didn't look much surprised, though. They observed him taking the vow too before Rivas spoke,
"There. Now open the gate."
I nodded as I opened the gate, observing the party…
'Phew!' I sighed in relief as I observed that I was still alive.
As soon as the gate opened, the 2 mages, Amara and Nirag entered the caravan before they began chanting something. I couldn't clearly understand them, but not even after a moment their chanting ended. The caravan began glowing.
"Rivas! Hurry up!" One of the bandits spoke as he hit the camel at the back, prompting it to move.
Rivas nodded as he took out a red coloured spherical ball and passed it out to Amara, who then hurriedly crushed it. The red energy inside the ball began spreading into the caravan as it started floating a little.
"We are ready!" Nirag shouted while the others did, too.
"Let's go! Go! Go!" Rivas shouted while the caravan began moving at a rapid speed away from there.
'The basilisk should still be about 5 minutes away,' I sighed in slight relief as I saw the caravan moving faster and faster, while the two mages operated it to the best of their ability. As for the people outside, Rivas and the others were moving beside us on their lizard-headed-chickens.
"They are quite efficient, aren't they?" I spoke as I looked at those rides running rather fast. Their speed gave me an assurance that I could finally take a break. Relax myself a bit, you know?
With that thought, I decided to close my eyes and drift into sleep. I kind of needed it.
-ROOOAAARRR!!!!!
A loud sound came from behind, waking me up as I saw the giant espcada coming towards us, slowly catching up to us. He was still far behind, so I had enough time to freshen up before I checked again. Though this time I noticed something…
'He will catch up,' I could see him reaching up to us rather clearly.
I wanted to inform Rivas about this, but before I could speak anything, another voice came from the other side.
"It has been a good journey, my friends. Please save my family for me," one of the bandits said as he stopped his footings before turning around and raging around the espcada.
"COME HERE AND TAKE ME!!!" shouted that man as he took out his bow and arrow and began showering the espcada with attacks. The monster stopped for a moment as he saw the attacks and then began following the bandit.
It all happened before anyone could realize anything.
'Was there really no other choice than to give your life?' I pondered, as I didn't consider his actions as brave but foolish.
"Your sacrifice won't be in vain Valor," Amara bit his lips, with tears streaming down his cheeks while he still managed the caravan using his magic. It wasn't just him, but Rivas too had a heavy expression. It's as if Rivas is feeling disappointed with himself.
'I would have been moved too if I wasn't killed by you people, over a dozen times,' I took a deep breath before focusing on the outside scenery. While I did want to start a conversation with the bandits on the way, because that Valor guy died, the atmosphere didn't allow me to.
Silence covered as everyone simply continued the journey without speaking another word. It was strange that the bandits were now protecting the ones whom they would have killed without a second thought.
It was ironic.
'Pretty itonic indeed… ' I mumbled as I went to sleep again. I wonder when I will reach the town.
The journey took about 3 days before we reached the town. During the days, I usually tried talking with the people who ignored me as if I were a rock or something. Perhaps the death of their comrade weighed heavily on them? Or was it that they hated me or something… don't know which it was.
But all that glare and curses are water under the bridge now. Since we are reaching the town, I can finally begin my thrilling journey. Men crave adventure. For all the men out there, I must go out and live out my best!!
'Let us all leave the boring topics aside and do our best to live and not just survive!'
And it all begins with the first step into the town!
