Chapter 21: The Girl

The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1)/CCIR

[POV: Silver Davis]Silver tossed and turned. Would someone please stop battering his head with a stick, it was not a drum, it thrummed painfully. Silver knew something about that thought did not sound right but he did not care at the moment.He realized that it was not just his head that was throbbing like a drum. It was his entire body. Oh, Undine! How it hurt. Silver groaned. Silver opened his eyes, well tried to. His stubborn eyes would not listen to him. After an eternity of struggle, he finally managed to open them. Everything was a blur as if he was looking into the world through a hazy mist. As his vision cleared the first thing he saw was a little girl with blonde wavy hair that went down to her hips. On closer inspection, he realized she was no little girl. By her face, she was probably as old as him and taller besides. For some reason knowing there was a girl of his age who was taller than him gnawed him to no end."Finally, thank the gods," the girl said with a relieved si

Chapter 22: The Threads of Shadows

The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1)/CCIR

[POV: Silver Davis]Even as he was writing the description of the herbs and other poultices and more, they exchanged their names. The girl's name was April Young. Silver had the feeling that it wasn't her real name, but he didn't pry.“I still don't think you should go alone,” Silver said.She sniffed. Loudly. And she becomes very interested in her sword. She was caressing the hilt of the sword as if it was her long lost Child. Silver pretended not to notice the threat.In his not too subtle attempt to change the subject he said, “So do you live here alone.” She gave him a sidelong look. With a sigh, She nodded and did not say anything else. There was something there, something in her hesitation. She was definitely running from something or hiding from someone. Perhaps she had run away from home. What was wrong with him? Why would he care if She had run away or murdered someone? It should not matter to him, he should be grateful to her nonetheless. She had saved his life. But it was l

Chapter 23: Grace and Water Supply

The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1)/CCIR

[POV: Silver Davis. Present Time]Silver shook his head coming back to reality. There was no point in dwelling in the past. At least he didn't have nightmare today. A strange sound almost made him jump out of his bed. That was a snore. And it was coming from his room.Silver jerked his head at the closet. He heard it again. The snoring shound was coming from the closet. "Who in the deepest ocean's name is sleeping in my closet?" Well technically it wasn't his, Yet. Silver had opted to buy the house and everything in it. The land lord accepted the payment in monthly instalment. Three gold coin per month, for five years. In total he had to pay 150 gold coins fot this rundown place. But it was the cheapest deal he could find in this city, so he couldn't complain.Pulling on as much as grace as he could Silver walked to the closet and opened it. A blonde haired girl was huddled in there, snoring like there was no tomorrow. She mumbled something, and rolled over. She yelped as her face k

Chapter 24: The Crooked Wizard

The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1)/CCIR

[POV: Silver Davis]Even as April taught him everything she kept muttering, “He must really have come out from a cave.” Silver just pretended not to hear her mutters. Apparently everything she was teaching him as a common knowledge. By the time the tour was over she kept glancing at him with suspicious eyes. But in the end she shook her head and then sighed. They were back at Silver’s room. The first floor had three rooms with attached latrine/bathroom room. The ground floor had a kitchen and a hall. He gave her the spare key of the house and told her she could stay in the room next door. He was going to use the third room to potions. Silver told her she could eat something frim the freezer which the generous landlord had left for him. He then went out of the door, down the stairs and of the house. He wanted to ask April why she was sleeping in the closet but thought better of it. There was no point in trying to understand what women did and why. It would only give him a headache. He

Chapter 25: The Whole Truth

The First Knight (The Threads of Creation Series #1)/CCIR

“Well, the Hunter’s Corps was the largest organization governed by 10 Vedic Knights, six of them being kings of allied nations. Till three years ago that is. We were attacked by Everlastings back then. With Hunter’s law being what it is they had to participate in the ‘Everlasting War’, and it wasn’t pretty. Thousands of our members were killed and many of them left us after the war. “Not many people have joined us since then. All other branches of organization were also shutdown. Now, there is only two branches left excluding this main branch, of course. To make the matter worst, most of members are just c or d ranked. And they only joined because they had no other way to earn more money. Now a days, most people prefer to join mercenary guilds. Of course, mercenary guilds are controlled by Hunter’s Corps—the only difference is they do not have to serve in the war. Though the resources you receive will be much greater in the Hunter’s Corps.”‘Hum! I knew there was war three years ago
