章 4: INNER COMMUNITY
"bro calm down, atleast we got money for feeding, tomorrow we look for something else to do, and life goes on" aglovale replied sounding less concern
"come, it our turn, let go receive our pay" aglovale finally break the silence that have lingered for what seems infinity
on their way home, fredrick can't help but wonder ""where aglovale came from,
just living life to the full, not worrying about tomorrow and not working himself to death, he own no valuable possession, except for the sword he stole the first day they met and he is not even thinking of using it anytime soon,
just like a feather in the middle of the ocean but is not bother by the endless ocean but flow along with the wind, going any direction, the wind pushes him""
"elyo" fredrick decided to let the cat out of the bag
hearing him aglovale smiled
"it seems you are now using my slangs, you are a fast learner, I must commend"
"I wana ask you something, sorry it might be personnel and might look as if am spying into your life, but where do you come from?, who are your parents?, why don't you have any magic energy in you?, why don't you wana go home, but just live life the way it comes??
"c'mon calm down, how many question, which do you want me to answer first?,
where do I come from?
I don't really know, but the woman that picked me up, day she saw this with me in the basket" (showing him a necklace, that is hung around his neck)
under close observation, fredrick replied, " this is the symbol of the sand tribe, the dersert dwellers, that means your parent are magic user which means you can actually use magic" fredrick said his voice laced with happiness as he examined aglovale body like a doctor inspecting his patient
""maybe i don't know, I once show sign of air style magic and would often go the blacksmith shop to help him, pump his furnace with the air magic and at the end of the day he gives me 10 bronze coin, but all that stopped, when our village were attacked by some people putting on the kings emblem, and one psycho hit my chest, when me and some other magic user were trying to protect the village and that was the last day I ever use magic and at the end, the village was raid and burnt down to ash, I somehow managed survived, when I woke up, I buried in pile of sand but I was breathing inside, and when I wanted the sand to leave my body it gave way, since then I have learn never to be too attached to anything, and just live life as it pass by, because that closure and attachment will always hurt in the end, I have answered all your questions right??, now let go eat am starving"
"yes and no, i still have bunch of questions to ask but that will come later, let go eat, maybe we should go to the air temple toward the west instead of going to yok city, there they might be able to help you, unlock you magic energy acupoint, I believed,the person that hit you on the chest, locked you magic energy, that why you can't you it," fredrick replied trying to give his friend hope
---------------------------------------------------
""hey fredrick, wake up sleepy head, let go out it sunrise already, we might be lucky to see work to do'" ( pulling away the blanket cover on fredrick)
""mm-mhmm just let me sleep, am not going anywhere, beside my body still ache from the last work we did, am not going( dragging back the blanket cover from aglovale)
"lie!!, magic users regain their stamina and strength, after a long rest and night sleep is the best rest time"
""you sounds just like my teacher, when did you become a monk that now know magic level and replenishing?"" fredrick replied knowing fully well that he has been caught,
"is obvious, you have regain your stamina and you are just lying, is almost mid day and you are still sleeping!! " aglovale almost yelled, feeling frustrated
"alright alright, you win, am up, let me go and clean up myself" fredrick said getting up from his mat-bed, "it seems this guy won't let me sleep to my satisfaction, if it were in the palace, no body will dare disturb me,come to think of it, that old man is suppose to send out his hunt dog to come get me, what is keeping him so long, maybe he has change" Fredrick though to himself as he goes out to the bathroom to do the morning ritual,
" don't you think we need more clothes here!!" fredrick yelled from the bathroom
"and how do you expect us to get the money for the clothes when you wake up by 11 or 12 before we will go out, those guys must have taken all the job slot, yet you practically refused the idea of stealing!!, "" aglovale yelled back
"let go eat, am hungry" fredrick said as he step out of the bathroom
"you kind of behave like a spoiled brat" aglovale respond, following fredrick behind
-----------------------------------
AT A NEARBY RESTAURANT
"since we are not going to work today what are we gona do?? go back to sleep??" fredrick asked hoping to get a positive answer from his buddy
(shaking his head) " nope!, no sleep till night fall, we are going to explore the inner community "
"what is so special about the inner community??"
"you will see when we get there "
"it better be worth it ooo, I don't joke with my afternoon nap " fredrick replied as they leave the restaurant for the inner community
-------------------------------------
INNER COMMUNITY
nothing special about the inner community, is can be said to be the village part of the king's city, while the city part is more about trade and administration, the village part is more of farming and quiet life, those who are tired of the city life and it vigorous nature, step down to the village, there are several villages in king's city which supply it with all the agricultural product it need and the city in return guild and protect them and and help maintain order in a fair trade, sometimes the king attention is hardly drawn so he send representative called duke or lord depending on how big the village is, some of the village sometimes gradually turn into town and will be integrated into the main city there by expanding the territory,
"you should have tell me that we are going to the country side instead of calling it inner community when it is located outside of the main town" fredrick attack Aglovale
"will you calm down and enjoy nature scenery before going back for your afternoon nap!!" aglovale mimicked fredrick "and beside if we are lucky enough, we might just find something to do and either have more money or dinner here as form of payment before going back town"
tapping Aglovale and pointing toward a crowded area " hey what is going on there? ""
"that is a circus show organized by some rich people to bring some light into the village and in return get money out of it, it like today is elemental combat"
"elemental what??!!, let go watch, c'mon "fredrick drag Aglovale along before even finishing his statement
------------------------------------
ELEMENTAL COMBAT
"AIR STYLE: SIPHON DRAGON!!"
one of the contestant yelled and braced himself for his incoming attack to his opponent
tidal waves rose from the feet of the almost exhausted opponent, as it rise it curve and shock violently like hurricane, rising height taking his victim along with it and blowing heavy wave toward other direction,
when the duration of the spell elapsed, the whole tidal wave disappeared and the victim fell to the ground, unable to move due to fact the air dragon as called by others have suck the remaining magic energy in him.
the whole crowds all have mixed feeling, while some gaps in sheer shock, some who bet on Silas yelled in jubilation because today is their lucky day
Silas, the west wind dragon rider, as he is famously called has never lost any fight, and each time he comes out, all gamblers hurriedly place their bet on him; the shark lord and gamble master, have to employ a new strategy, else they will fall out of business
(since west wind dragon rider is a sure win, they have to time, how long he will take's to finish off his opponent 2½ minutes, 7 minutes or 1½ minutes
( SHARK LORD ARE THOSE THAT BUY AND SELL SLAVES EVEN WHEN SLAVERY HAS BEEN BAN, THEY HAVE HIGH OFFICIALS IN GOVT TO HIDE THEIR DEED, THEY GIVE YOU LORN FREELY BUT YOU CAN NEVER PAY BACK AND IN THE YOU WORK AS SLAVE FOR THEM TILL YOU REDEEM YOUR SELF BUT YOU CANT BECAUSE THE INTEREST RATE IS SO HIGH AND YET THEY DON'T PAY TAX)
(Silas's finishing move the air style: siphon dragon take less than a minute to cast and a minute to execute, although the duration varies, making it the fastest move so far in the history of elemental combat)
Silas putting on a yellow robe with the emblem of a dragon, a man in his early 30s, clean his body of dust and debris from his last attack and walk out, majestically to the circus owner to take his reward, while two able young men came out to pick up the exhausted opponent who still can't move.
"alright who is next?? who want try out his luck today?" Maddox the circus owner start shouting for new contestant
" me!!, over here sir!!" fredrick step out from the crowd and Aglovale is trying to hold him back but his action, fruitless and he gave up
" I like your courage boy, but go home elemental combat is no place for kids" Maddox the circus owner replied him with mockery in his voice and the crowd laughed
FIRE STYLE: DRAGON CLAW -SLASH
(red line of tiny fire will sprout from the user palm and goes out, cutting anything in its path, it potency varies with user and magic level, a sub version of dragon claws)
fredrick feeling embarrassed by his word, cast a spell that cut Maddox cardboard paper he is using as microphone
"hmm it seem we got ourselves a contestant, OK who is up against him?!! "
"me!!" a hood figure appear from the crowd
" hello my friend, what is your element style?? " "
"earth" the hood person replied and takes off the hood revealing to be a girl of same age range
"it seem both of you are of the same size, remember any injury sustained, this circus will not be held responsible and if you lose no compensation for you "
girl: yes i know
"" good!! the rules remain the same, the last man standing goes home with the reward and you can accept defect, if you can't hold up any more, now let the combat begins"
