Chapter 13 - Assassins

Assassin...

... a killer who never showed mercy to everyone. Kill people without hesitation and that's why I want to collect them. The perfect army to destroy the goblins and they are also bandits thrown out by his own race. They are innocent people but after remaining bandits, they turn themselves into evil.

As we stepped into their gates, archers appeared around us. Then, a man came to us wielding his sword close to my eyes. "Who are you and why did you come here? This is a forbidden place." he asked me with his evil face.

"I'm Horoku and this is my team. We came here to find a place to rest and eat. Please, we came here calmly. Not to fight." I answered gracefully. He lowered his weapon and ordered his men to let us in. When we entered, we thought the city was scary but it didn't seem to be. The place is beautiful and there are also children and women living here. Beautiful and calm songs were sung by the women and children, the residents chatted with happy faces and the trees rang in the wind. This place is a strong and safe stronghold for the poor and these killers are their guardians. Surrounded by snowy mountains and huge stone walls. Suddenly, a white-armored man approached us.

The man was very tall, white -haired and not as scary as we imagined. He looks like an innocent and kind person. He is almost like a 17 -year -old teenager but also looks like a leader in the city. He introduced himself to me "Welcome to the Garadel kingdom. My name is Itana Zonto the king of this kingdom."

The way he talked to me seemed like he was friendly and realized me that this place and the citizens, they lived in peace. Some of them came from the poor and some of them were travelers. Three of me, my guardian named Katsuke, Ken and also Itana sat together in his office. We sat around his desk and he asked me "So ... tell the truth. Seriously, what brought you and your troop to my kingdom of Horoku?"?"

We both stared at our faces and I started talking in my heart "Ok ... looks like I should tell now". "Actually we are here to ask for your help. We are gathering more people to join our other army to fight the goblins and we need you and your men to join us. But we will not push because this is your choice not mine . "

Then, he stood up "Why don't you all take a break while I'm going to discuss this invitation with my man." so we went out of his office and waited for his answer. After waiting for almost 2 hours, he came to us. We stood and looked at him. "A decision has been made," he said.

"We have decided to join you but before that ...

...you have to fight me at the Riverland at 3 a.m." he challenged me to a fight.

"But you can pull yourself away if you want to. It's your decision"
