"Adi, done with the packing?" Leo asked.
"Yes, I packed a few clothes and some edibles." Adi said pointing at the packed bag.
"Alright. Let us move out and check if Alex and Vivi are ready." Leo said, picking up the bag and moving out.
"Vivian!" Adi called.
Soon Alex and Vivi came out of their room with their packed bags.
"Let us move out then!" Alex announced.
"Wait Alex, we forgot about Emily." Adi reminded them.
"Why do we need her there?" Alex frowned.
"Well, we can't leave her alone when we are out for so many days." Vivi replied.
"Indeed,"
In one of the houses in Diremoor, a man was cutting vegetables for the meal, humming a song as if enjoying his course.He had messy brown hair and electrifying blue eyes making him look attractive. He had a light complexion and well toned body.He took the vegetables and went towards the fireplace taking a mud pot from the rack. He placed wooden logs and hung the pot above it. He moved his fingers in the air and pointed at wooden logs in front of him. In no time the logs caught fire and started heating the pot.He grabbed the vegetables which he had sliced in small pieces. He put them in and added water. When the water began to boil, he added a few spices which he could afford.Soon the room filled with the fragrance of a hot meal being cooked. He stood up to get a plate and he remembered how his last, only plate was broken yesterday by a boy who came to take his ball.He sighed as he remembered how pissed he was yesterday on the boy. He lowe
Sunbarrow village appeared merry. People seemed affable. Greenery stretched the ground, making the village look like it was covered with green bed sheets. From a distance there came a sound of a carriage approaching. It halted at the entrance of the village and four people got down. "This village is beautiful!" Adi said, looking around at the village. "Right" Leo said, paying the journey fare to the coachman. They all wander around for a while looking for the right person to ask for the information. Leo reckoned asking a vendor as they provide legit information if they knew. They approached a vendor who was selling green groceries. They asked him about the elemental ability holder.
Silence surrounded the dark forest, only the sound of a moving carriage echoed. Weather was good with no dark clouds hovering. Moon was glowing enough for the path to be visible. Carriage moved briskly to take it's rider to their destination as soon as possible."We now know about three elemental ability holders." Adi informed, smiling at others."Finally! Now there's only two left." Vivi added."You two seem very happy. Well, for your information, finding the other two will wreck your brain." Alex stated, trying to look stern."We are aware of that Alex." Vivi said, staring back at him."Now Alex," Leo caught his attention, "enlighten us on how we are going to find the other two elemental ability holders?" Leo demanded, joining the playful atmosphere and trying to tease him."Sure sir Leo," Alex replied in a similar tone.He gave it some thought and cleared his throat. "The other two elemental ability holders can be found anywhere."
"Finally leaving this dark inn." Alex said as he stepped out of his room."It wasn't bad Alex." Vivi said."Yes you are right. It was amazing and the owner was friendly or I would say over friendly." Alex gave a sarcastic comment, to which Vivi glared at him, crossing her arms."Ready to leave?" Leo asked as he saw them approaching."Always" Alex replied."Hope the owner doesn't give us a huge bill." Adi said, worrying."Hope for good." Vivi smiled.They walked down the stairs and saw the owner behind the desk looking sternly as always. She turned to look at the people who were approaching them."Come back before one o'clock in the noon, if you want lunch." The old woman said sternly, not noticing the bags with them."We will be leaving the inn now." Leo informed her.She looked up at him and bent sideways noticing the packed bags. She sighed. She took out a register and calculated the final amount and turne
Morning arrived making the atmosphere energetic for the four warriors. Leo informed the cook to serve all four breakfast in his room. It was decided that they would scheme a plan to find the last elemental ability holder during breakfast. Cook placed the breakfast on the table and soon the discussion began."We will ask any vendor about the elemental ability holder like we did in other villages." Alex said, taking a bite of bread."I think we cannot repeat that approach here." Vivi said."Why not?" Alex asked, knitting his brows."It's because, last time we did that, we accidentally approached the fire elemental ability holder and made him aware of us." Leo informed them."And he left the village." Adi added."We were lucky enough that we found him in the forest. Or else we would have kept on searching for him in the village when in reality he left it long back." Vivi said."I know" Alex sighed."What are we going to do then?"
Two days passed and there was no information about wind elemental ability holder. They didn't know if he was here in the village or left like Lavar did.Being clueless they wandered in the village continuously, observing people, for two days just to get a hint about the person. Exhausted, they got back into their inn for lunch."This isn't going to work. We need a plan to identify the person." Leo sighed."What can we do? We can't ask people about that as it might alert the person." Alex asked, taking a bite."Maybe try to ask the old man whom we met the other day?" Adi suggested."Yes, he seems knowledgeable." Vivi agreed."He doesn't know. We asked him already, remember." Leo informed them."Why don't we ask for help from someone?" Vivi asked."Someone who? We don't know anyone here and can't trust strangers, right?" Alex replied.Vivi sighed."Days are passing quickly." Leo murmured.Adi beca
"We still don't have any information about the wind elemental ability holder." Adi sighed."We got information about the weapon." Vivi said, softly."True, the weapon was a mystery until yesterday." Adi nodded."Are we all going to visit the kingdom? What was its name, again?" Alex asked, scrunching his brows, trying to recall the name."Tairia" Vivi reminded him."I reckon that we split ourselves into two groups. Two people will go after the weapon and the other two will continue the hunt for the person." Leo suggested."Sounds perfect." Alex agreed to that. It was better to split up and distribute the work as it would save time."I and Adi will be leaving for the kingdom and you both can look for the person." Leo said."How about, me and you go to get the weapon and Adi, Vivi will stay here, away from unforeseen dangers in that kingdom?" Alex suggested."No one will be there to take care of them here, Alex." Leo
"Yes, I accept the tasks and show my worth." Leo stated.After a great discussion with Adi, with many yes and no's, they came to a conclusion that it was better to accept tasks and try to achieve the weapon instead of showing backs and running away like cowards."As accepted from you." King murmured and asked loudly, "So ready for your first task today?" Leo nodded without taking much time."Fredrick will escort you to your task location and explain the further details." The king informed them.A man in his late 30s came forward. He bowed to the king. And gestured to Leo and Adi to follow him.Fredrick was one of the loyal ministers whom the king trusted blindly. He was an unmarried man and had devoted his w
