Bab 5: Chapter 4.
After Flint left the southern town he decided to head West. Near the southern town he found a river that lead to a small steamy waterfall. Flint decided to stop by the waterfall and wash off all the blood that was dripping off of him. First Flint took his clothes off and began to wash them and after he had finished washing his clothes he went to wash himself. Lukewarm water pouring down on Flint, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. It didn't help that he was naked and unarmed. He wasn't scared, rather he felt vulnerable. He took brief looks around, to see if he could make out anything in the bushes. Initially he thought that it was probably a bear or a wolf. But something didn't seem right. Why would a bear or wolf be stalking him? Both of those animals are known to be weary of humans. He thought that maby he was near the lair of a bear/wolf and that it was just the mother bear/wolf stalking him to make sure he doesn't get too close to her cubs. He decided he should probably hurry up and leave.
Flint stepped away from the water and went to go get dressed when suddenly a little kid jumped out from the bushes Infront of him. The kid was small and agile, and wore a dark cloke that covered their face. Flint was starteled and tripped on a rock under the river. He quickly got up and rubbed the water from his eyes and he saw the kid grab Darsey and one of his boots. Flint was impressed with how strong the kid was - Darsey was a big heavy thing made of metal, atleast half the size of the kid and his boots were large and had a layer of steel on the sole yet the kid seemed to move and run around with them with relative ease.
The kid starting running away with Darsey and one of Flints boot by the time Flint had reached land. He ran after the kid still naked and shouting "come back brat!". The kid looked behind him and saw Flint pursuing him and threw the boot which he had stollen from Flint at Flints head. It was a clean shot, the metal part landing a direct hit on Flints forehead and knocking him out. Flint fell to the ground incapacitated. The kid looked back one more time at Flint while he was running then he changed the direction he was heading in. Before he was running in a straight line north, but that was only to deceive Flint, as the kid knew Flint would run after him, which is he why he took one of his boots to throw at him. The kid went east unluckily for Flint.
A couple minutes passed and Flint awoke to a squirrel rummaging through his stuff. Flint still naked laying on the grass reached over to grab his boot near him that the kid had thrown. He got up and the squirrel ran away starteled. He went to his clothes laying on the ground near the river which where now dry and got dressed. As Flint was putting on his clothes he started to get a little panicked, as one would when a random feral kid jumps out at you, steals your magical gun and boot and proceeds to throw one of those items at you as you pursue them to get back YOUR stuff back. The anxiety would not last however, as he looked around he saw that the kid had left tracks. 3 possibilities ran through Flints head. 1. The tracks were left by accident. Unlikely seeing how agile and light on his feet the kid was. 2. The tracks were left on purpose to lead Flint somewhere. But why would the kid throw the boot at Flint to knock him out? There was no guarantee that Flint would have survived that and it would also take up time, as if it only knocked Flint out, the kid would have to wait until Flint awoke. And 3. The tracks were left as a distraction to throw Flint off of the kids actual destination. Flint debated on wether to follow the tracks because there was no guarantee that it would lead to the kid. But then he remembered that he saw the kid head east right before he fainted so he decided to follow the tracks.
Flint knew that eventually he would arrive at the eastern town as that was the logical place for a thief to go. The eastern town is full of traders, some trading stuff that they earned from trading themselves and some trading stuff they've stolen. No normal trader would be able to afford Darsey however. The kid would have to try to sell it to some rich property owner in the town. Flint assumed that the kid didn't know what Darsey actually was and that eventually he would stumble across someone who did, the kid would then ask for too little and loose out on money or whatever it is he wants. That was yet another thing that didn't make sense for Flint. Flint had a feeling that something suspicious was going on but he had no choice but to follow the tracks as he couldn't let some random kid decide what to do with something as dangerous as Darsey.
These were all thought's that were passing through Flints mind as he walked through the forest following the tracks of the kid. The forest was beautiful. Tall trees with bright green leaves, shining with a yellow hue from underneath due to the sun's bright beams of light. The sound of water streams running downhill was the only thing Flint was hearing aside from his thoughts. The bushes of the forest were littered with bright coloured berries, some poisonous some not, some big some small.
The eastern town wasn't far from where Flint was, so it wouldn't take him long to reach it. After around 20 minutes of walking Flint arrived at the entrance of the eastern town, the largest and richest town in the county.
As he stood at the entrance of the town, he couldn't help but feel like something was about to go down. But he couldn't just chicken out and let this powerful weapon be in the possession of a kid who wants to sell it off to some rich dumbass in the town. He took the first step into the town and waited a few second before taking the second step. He then began walking normally into the town and not long after he stepped foot in the town he was being stopped by merchants and traders trying to sell him something useless that they claimed had value. The town was huge and full of people and very loud. The air was filled by the voices of hundreds and hundreds shouting, talking and negotiation prices most of all. The eastern town was infamous for 3 things : money, merchants, and scams. Flint wasn't worried about theives and scammers however, as the only thing of value that he had had already been stolen. Flint carried on walking through the busy town, trying to squeeze through large masses of people trying to sell him stuff and looking around for the Sheriff's office. After looking around for a while, he finally stumbled upon the Sheriff's office and pushed aside all the merchants around him to get to the station. He walked up to the station and asked the guards if he could speak to the Sheriff. "The Sheriff's busy now, would you like to report a problem to us?" Said one of guards. "Uhh nah I'd like to speak to your Sheriff, I'm sure he's very busy doing alot of nothing right now but trust me it's important" said Flint to the one of the guards as he tried to enter the station himself. He was pushed back by the guards and they pointed they're guns at him. "Don't move!" Yelled one of the officer's. Flint put his palms up and took a step back "relaaaxx, I'm not lookin' for trouble. I'm just tryna report that someone stole something of mine."
There were about 6 guards stationed at the front of the station. 1 on either side of the door and 2 next to the ones near the door. After Flint told them why he was there, they looked at eachother as if they were waiting for him and he had finally came to them. The guards nodded at eachother before swarming Flint and tackling him to the ground. "I swear I didn't! Whatever you think I did, I didn't!" Yelled Flint as the guards put him in handcuffs and tied his body with rope. Flint's hat fell on the ground as he was pulled up by the guards. "Look I don't blame you. I know you're doin' your job or whatever but you have me confused with someone else, I'm sure of it!" Flint tried resisting as he was being pushed into the station by the guards. "Just know that when your Sheriff finds out you got the wrong guy, then I'll blame you!" Those were the last words that Flint yelled before being forced into the station and thrown in a cell.
A mysterious man came to the front of the station to pick up Flint's hat, before walking away.
