After running for a few minutes, covering the road he had done backward, Astaroth returned to camp. His eyes widened in fear at what he saw.
Around the fire, three men were standing with clear looks of displeasure. Soon enough, Aberon turned to look at him.
"You're finally back." Aberon said, angrily.
He then blew, between his fingers, a sharp and brief whistle.
Next to Aberon, were Aj'axx and I'dril, with Chris and Korin nowhere to be seen.
"I was doing a round of patrol." Astaroth lied.
"Where are the others?" He then asked.
When he asked that, Aj'axx smiled at him wryly and I'dril turned his head to the side, avoiding eye contact.
Astaroth then felt something grab his arms from behind, locking their movements.
"Huh?!" He said, surprised.
"I'm sorry. Just following orders." Astaroth heard Korin's voice next to his ear.
"What are you doing?! Rel… Oof!" He started saying before a punch in his abdomen blew the words out of his mouth.
If you liked my story, add it to your library!
This story is in the Fantasy Carnival, so it needs Power Stones to up-rank. If I get into the top 100, I will drop an extra 2 chapters that day. Another 2 chapters for top 50. I will up the stakes at 5 bonus chapters for top 20, and another 5 for top 10! Please vote for me! :)
I have changed format for the bonus chapters to 100 PS per week, since we are doing so good :)
The top 50 really are no joke! We managed to steal another position, and are now 46th! I have faith!
Top 20 is our next goal! Let's keep this going!
If you like the novel so far or think something could use work, don't be scared to leave a review :)
