-Years since Raxor's Edge...
-ThreeScar has settled into the Oasis and getting prepared to fight any new opponents. His group has become its own society, closely mirroring the system on Raxor's Edge...
-BlackBlood has healed and will attempt to conquer the Labyrinth...
-Aet has been dedicated to accommodating both BlackBlood in her journey and ThreeScar, but our story picks up with a different Society...
A mountainous man is standing on a castle balcony gazing across to the sun rising. From his view point the it was as if it was coming up due to his presence. His Castle walls were high enough to see the first sparkle of light as it breaks the plain of the horizon...
He slowly turns his head to stare back at the most prized possession in the Kingdom. In a bed every bit of 30ft in length and 30ft width. Laced with clusters of uncut opal and a topaz concrete as the platform. Red fur draped over the whole bed and the same fur used as pillows. And as galant as the bed appeared, it was nothing compared to the sight of the queen laying under the cover.
To King Thoran she was so much more Grand than anyone he ever crossed that it hypnotized the burly King into ignoring his duties and slide back into bed. But as he turns fully and walks toward the bed his side profile allows just a little bit the light to christen her eyes and she immediately wakes with a smile towards her husband and says....
Queen Birr) I know that look.
King Thoran) Do you?? Then you know, not even Ancient Goliath could keep me from my Queen...
Birr) Is that so?!!! Mmmmm I would love to have a go at you, but your people come before play time... Besides you also know we have a big day today...
Thoran) I'll put the issue to the side for now so I can do what's best for my peop....
The king stops suddenly...
-Sssssssmmmmmmmhhhhhhmmmmmmpppppfff-
He takes in a big whiff of the air and his eye closes for a couple seconds...
Ahhh. Bir. I must go prepare, something is coming... No.Someone is coming today!!!! It seems very important that I hear them out. It doesn't seem clear yet but it's a familiar stench...
Birr) As you say mighty Thoran descendant of Great Old Goliath..
Thoran puts on his garments and walks through the castle...
King Thoran!!! King Thoran there's someone at the gates requesting an audience!!
-Escort them to my throne room, I'll wait there for them...
Right away!!
-Clop.. Clop... Clop... Clop... Clop... The escort walks in and it's a familiar face, from not too long ago...
-King Thoran.. Pleasure to see you again.. I was last here with Grada. I'm San'Halo.. And I came to....
Thoran) I knew I smelled piss and trouble, when I hit the door. The last time you came here, it was begging for my help. I don't see Grada, did I hurt his pride so much that he dares to send an errand boy instead of coming himself... Tuh...
You know that I had people cleaning your stink out for days. See we Cyclo have such a keen sense of smell, some say it transcends even our natural strength. That day the stench of your fear was pungent...
-Aaahhhheemmm!! San interrupts the King...
(San'Halo) Grada is dead..
King Thoran) Is that so? Well it's unexpected but not unforeseen. He had a few enemies, tuh, we were frenemies at best. ~The King shakes his head~ Damn to die already is a waste. He was searching for something. You were close to him and you want my help to exact revenge for his death?
San'Halo) Well you had one part right great King of the one eyes... He was indeed searching for something... I hear you have some leads on the methods of attaining the Eye of...
-ThompThompThompThompThomp-
The King blitzed San covering a huge amount of ground quickly and his right arm was already cocked and in an instant...
-TTTTTTHHHHHHOOOOOMMMM!!!!! Thoran hit San square on the nose, with a mighty right straight flattening his nose on impact. San's knees buckled and he dropped straight to the ground lifeless....
-Strutting off, the King calls for his guards...
"Come pick him up and throw him in a cell for now."
Thoran) Good thing I only used 10 percent of my power, his face was rather soft. I hadn't heard of Grada dying from the Guild or the Celestial Forest...
Three slender figures walked from behind the corridors of the hallway and approached the King and humbly knelt..
-Father..
-Father..
-Father..
All three simultaneously acknowledge Thoran like they were programmed to do so upon sight...
-Hmmmmppphhh... Baka. Tora. Goliath. Would you like to help with this whole thing? This may become tedious and taxing, but the payout is worth it. We need the Eye of Dreams in order to surpass Celestial Forest and the Heroes Guild..
Baka) We will do as you command Father. I do have a question..
Thoran) Out with it son!
Baka) Whats the details on the Eye of Dreams, it's origin or even its powers? How is this going to help us surpass the other Societies??
Thoran) All I know is that the Eradication of Oni Forest happened due to the Eye of Dreams. That is why we will press San'Halo on the issue. That specific relic hasn't been mentioned in hundreds of years. The ones who knew about it resided in Oni Forest and that was during the time of my Father and Grandfather life...
I was the one who made Grada aware of the Eye of Dreams.. He was too young to know of such a treasure and I am the only one of our people who even knows about it. Hell and I don't even know what it looks like..
Tora) Then why'd he think you know how to attain it??
Thoran) We shall get to that part later after we interrogate this Orang. He won't be up for a couple of hours, so we should take time to put together our questions of interest. Plan on different scenarios to play out from our line of questioning.
We will be straight forward in questioning, We need to get to the right answers out of him. This is the year of the Hunt.... We must get some details before the meetings start...
Golia. I want you to recon the Oasis and find out what's going on down there...
Tora. You will be in charge of the questioning alone...
Baka. You observe his mannerisms, look for any tells, and if possible find a soft spot...
The brothers nodded and then the family planned how to approach San...
San surely didn't expect to be met with such force that he finds himself unconscious with a shattered nose and face. What is the Eye of Dreams and what powers does it truly possess...
To be continued...
Chapter 2 will be out soon...
