Bab 14: Cold
"We were at the beginning of the mountain path in the next evening. There you could see no sun from the first day of creation. Clouds were fuzzy and direful, making you think that they are going to swallow you.
The slush supposed to splinter intentionally had sent to us. It was burning my face when Zia rode forth hindered my way then turned back slowly and stopped my horse. He brought a shawl out of his bag, bent on my side and wrapped it around my face, and proffered, "This way it won't hurt, just keep your head down Asaya I'm riding just behind you if you couldn't afford driving my horse can ride us, both", I nodded.
We entered to a neck, heard hungry wolves yowled and implored to the sky for achieving some mercy. The voices repeatedly echoed made us even more watchful. We were about to be baited by them although the bleakness already affected us.
I had worn, leather clothes and bear fur coats on them. My gloves saved my hands from frostbite, but still cold was spinning into my spine. Maybe it wasn't the cold, but my nervousness. On the other hand, wolves howling could have also melted the stones besides heart! The cold armored in white snow and would hurt all creatures by that sharp two sided-sword.
Uncle tarried opposite a cave in the heart of the mountain. We all chased him. The stair shape earth layer lightens the path to the cave, but still malignantly asthenic if you slip survivorship would become a wish. We used a stick to toil up and it made us at ease.
A crunched travertine slipped under my feet and I almost fell, but Zia grabbed me from behind, close to himself enough that I felt safe and I hold myself back. I was gasping looking down was horrible at that moment! Before that journey, I used to climb up the buildings or run on the roofs, but there, it was different while wearing thick clothes and passing through thin edges to reach a cave!
I was nervous because we got attacked by those assassins already, not much interesting if we had to be surprised again whether Kaniar and Rabin were watching outside.
We gained the goal and entered the cave, it was big and more like a Maze with three inputs. He walked to the middle one and we went after him. That cave had a rough feature and disused! No settlers you could see there to feel the gleams of hope and warm your heart.
We got into a hall like space with natural pillars. Uncle Shareeq walked to a corner and asked Nathen to give a hand. They started digging by small spades. I expected a shrilling sound comes out and echoes in the cave, but it was all grit under rubbles.
They spaded for over an hour and replaced their position as one of them got tired. It was Zia's turn when his spade hit something irony. All gazes fixed on him.
Uncle rapidly strode to him and helped Khalid and Zia taking it out. He kneeled and drew out a key from his neck and without wasting a second aimed to open the chest, but the chest lock rusted.
Eventually, that mysterious object which made much of troubles and sacrifices came out of the ground. He broke the chest's lock and finally all those efforts paid off, whether it was very soon to judge.
We were dying out of curiosity to see what it looks like! But I got disappointed that if it could be dangerous! Even couldn't afford to help an old man!
The stick wasn't a special thing that could catch someone's attention a wooden one! But the shining stone was something else! Almost two inches in size, but how much power it had within its own was what scared me. If someone such as my unseen grandfather uses it in the wrong way no one could predict what will happen.
Although that feeling even was getting worse when you are so unhappy that his blood running into your vessels, also! And when you still don't know how bad you can be when fury overcomes you and you are not able to think to make the right decision, it becomes even worse. I never challenged myself in such a way, but it seemed destiny had chosen for me to face it and changed my life. Like it had written my story since I wasn't born, who knows what's coming at the end.
On the way of getting back to the harbor directly, the horses got even more tired, the clod was beating and torturing them, but mercy upon bailed to them and all survived from tough moments.
***
Uncle and Salman returned to the Persis, the great capital of Sheed's kingdom and after that, I didn't meet the king's spy who used to follow me everywhere.
This time the ocean and Egopta deserts treated us well and didn't mean to hurt or stop us anymore. The rest of us as uncle planned headed to help my father. We entered Abydos and realized that against other lands that had frozen at the end of fall that town's weather was amazingly cool!
Egoptian's Bazar was full of merchants as always. The Bazar that its reputation has flown beyond the seas. We passed by the temple. People were praying to heaven court for a harvest feast. We watched them while riding to a guesthouse.
Conforming to our researchers and of course from spies, we assumed that some of Nickbones members used to go to that place for gambling. After eating dinner Nathan peered to the left side of the counter which a man was drinking alone, with his gaze pointed to Ario. I followed that direction also and again discovered that marked badge, which made things clear to me, but this time on his copper dagger.
"Calm down Asaya", Zia whispered as I was clenching my fist.
Every wrong move could ruin all that tough journey! I had to swallow all my pride and fury and trust my teammates just for heaven's sake.
