"Stranger in cloak, covering their faces are not welcomed here". A cracked suspicious voice of a man menaced them on their left side.
The farmer man rolled his head down, "commander Arda a pleasure to see you here!"
He nodded at the man with a hint of smile on his face! Unlike the way he talked to the newcomers. In less than a second he changed his face posture!
Commander Arda was popular between the folks of Groan. He was the only regular person who stepped in a royal court and still behaving people as good as his previous life.
His hand griped on his sword's haft! Venomously suspected glared at Mohan, even a suckling newborn could notice that they don't like each other! The Commanders recruits remained behind him. He approached while fixed his eyes on Mohan and when he stopped shifted his head to see who the others are and amazed!
Commander scrutiny glanced at Daniel who as soon as he got closer unbonneted his hood.
"Daniel Ray!" Arda called his name and Mohan's eyes wide circled! He knew Daniel! Daniel met Groan's lord in last year's feast and Arda escorted him.
After calling his name directed his eyes to Mohan and said, "I see that son of Tegan's mayor twirling around with a criminal! A rebellious one!"
Daniel made a serious face deeply looking into his eyes, like battling with those gray gazes of Arda, "And In my opinion here in Groan the place of soldiers and criminals had no longer changed!" Daniel stated and rolled his eyes to the guards who were commixing people's life!
"What if you had a son? Would you say that again?" he passed him a cliché statement, then clenched his jaw hiding his fury, but it was obvious he didn't like what Daniel blurted to him. He turned his gaze to Mohan, "Tell me your guess about where Marcus can be?" Then sneered at him!
"Why are you asking me? He is your nephew Arda!" He stressed on his name.
"Did you hope me to lock a twenty childish boy whom you trained?" He aimed to taunt him that he gave the boy a wash brain to escape away!
"You got to be kidding! Not a boy like him could pass those walls of watchmen. His father has many eyes there!" He replied that claim of Arda.
Arda stepped closer to him, stopped his mouth near Mohan's ears and mumbled, "Out of guesses, why not his master and his companions had taught him to stand against his father, only to repay an old peeve!"
"Let off your steam somewhere else Arda, I don't get your point. We are not stupid to do that and get back here!" Mohan clenched his fist and pressed his eyelids to swallow his anger! Even explaining to him wouldn't make a sense or changes while he couldn't comprehend!
The seeds of hatred and fury diffused by Abalis whether people believe or not! It affected on souls not the bodies. Arda and Mohan once were close as brothers, but some affairs separated them so then they attached blades to words and ripped each other's souls! But did it really worth?
Demonic magicians always had potions to mislead the brains, poured them in water sources as their master commanded. They used to set the fire then added more fuel to burn the friendship rope by moral shades! They would make dissidences even more to be assured the light part is enable to impact on the grayish part! The egoism and spite will rise then, to afford and set up a fire whirlwind to burn up human race.
Arda sniggered and directed to people so his voice rose, "Every single person in Groan is aware of that you think Lord Zooland is liable to your master and the rest of his family's unfortunate death. Don't you claim that?" Then lowered his voice and continued, "And of course losing his wife!"
He reversed back to his men and ordered, "I'm escorting these strangers to Lord… You must keep chasing after Marcus and inform me when Broned returns from forest, I see him first personally!"
They obeyed by a mid-bow and gazed on the team with dismay! Many of those soldiers who knew Mohan didn't believe that he claimed for injustice, but his deep rancor towards Lord Zooland, besides unaware of that if they had friendship with Mohan the lord wouldn't allow them live in peace. They peeked at them while living there to castle.
