"Okay, okay. Hold tight!" Maru smiled and off they went. Their vision was met with new sights as the image beforehand was rapidly changing. It was after a breath that they witnessed a magnificent scenery.
"Wow!" The sights brought out a gasp from Lyra as her eyes tried to put all the wondrous images in her mind.
This was like the ones Maru used to say to her. That the cities of humans were indeed filled with a sea of people and that their dwelling was tall and imposing with thick high walls around the big gates.
And that was exactly what she witnessed at this very moment.
"Wait till you see inside, Lyra. There's more of these
Though Maru could have made their passage bearable by camouflaging their attractive mien but he got tired of hiding like a rabbit in the woods.It was now high time to live freely and get the things he wanted to have in the palm of his hands. Five minutes of walk and they arrived at an amazing establishment.There was an attractive waiting lady up front and it was a relief that she hadn't frozen up when she saw them. She was professional in her work and Maru admired her for that.This was also a reflection of how unusual this building was. They had trained their people well and it gave Maru a positive sign that he did not choose wrong by going towards here first.
That middle aged man was one of the sons of her employer and she realized that there would be hell to pay when the owner got whiffed of this news.He and his crew were rapists and bad apples and had even tried to entice her with money and power in order for her to accept their advances.It was fortunate that the manager was strict on keeping a close eye on what was happening in this business.If not, then the saleslady doubted she would remain untouched by the filthy greasy hands of the recent scoundrels.But that was beside the point right now. The important fact was that she knew that she would die if she was the one who wou
The same could not be said for his fellows though as every single one of them was pinned on the floors they once stood upon.The leader realized that this was a foe he could never outmatch in battle and there was a momentary decision for retreat.But when he remembered the creed that he had sworn and lived by for thousands of years already, the leader shouted his resolve."LET MY ENEMIES SHIVER BEFORE ME! I AM FEARLESS!" the leader stood tall and firm. But this was not merely empty bravado because he used this time to throw a rolled papyrus behind him.The thing opened up when it landed atop his subordinates and what followed
If only their master would stop this path of vengeance and mourn for her useless son in silence. Every single one of them were knowledgeable of how bad Ricky had stained the reputation of their master.Gambling, women, and all the vices in the lands were not spared by the late son of their master. It was fate that he finally died by offending the wrong person.Justice served at last, the man thought as he sighed to stop his wandering mind from cheering any further."Hmmm." the woman was lost in thought and decided the next of her actions. She can't act while her foes were inside the city because that was one of the great taboos in this domain.
A few minutes of silent walk and Juliet neared the source of the sound. With each step she took, the louder the beating reverberated around.And the vibrations can be felt in her feet with every thud that landed on the anvil.When she got to the end of her path, she hesitated slightly. Her husband had been here for the last five hundred years already and he still wasn't finished in whatever new craft he was doing.He said it was going to be a masterpiece and Juliet hasn't doubted her husband one bit.He was one of the greatest wizard smiths in the world and his works were known throughout the entire lands of Muren.
"I can't let it go that easily, Juliet. I won't let the man who did that to my son get away with what he did. Just like that." Jaden replied and his tone hardened with every word he uttered.He recalled the time he'd spent caring for his little boy. Ricky was not always that bad. When he was a child, he started off innocent and precious like any other babe.It was not until he realized that he could not become a wizard that everything changed for the worst.He became secluded and got into the influence of questionable characters in the city who were the same as him, unblessed with the gift of wizardry.Jaden was guilty because
But how could that lovely woman win all her hands and not lose a single thing for hours on end? The owner chugged a drink in one pull to numb the pain in his heart.“My money…” he cried within.________________________"Did you lose once again, Maru?" Lyra said when the man on her side only lent her a smile and not a word of reply."I don't think we're good enough in this kind of game, Lyra." Maru answered. He and his lovers had not used their abilities to gamble.So just like the other normal bettors, they would win but they lost more
Lyra was not abhorrent to the practices of wizards in harvesting some parts of nature because almost all staff makers only collect from the aged trees in the forests.Though some eager wand and stave creators would use younger trees as a means of practicing their craft and those people were included in the hate list of the wood nymph.But Lyra perceived that the weapon used by the man was indeed a tree that had matured well enough with time.She could even feel the gentle aspect of the staff resonating with her own existence as if saying hello to a close relative and even much closer than that, to a loved one or family."Yes,
