The kingdom of Tassy was a large kingdom devoted to magic that was part of the Millennial Alliance. This kingdom was in an area surrounded by mountains where there were only two ways to get there, one by normal roads and the other by teleportation, which made it impossible to have invasions there. And at this moment the merchant caravan that had been attacked by thieves was trying to reach its destination being escorted by four adventurers on horses who had offered to accompany them because it was the same destination.
- Hey Axel! - The blond man approaches and stands beside the warrior.
- What is it Zenon?
- How far is it to Tassy?
- Not far. - He raises his arm pointing to a curve- After that curve we will see the entrance to Tassy.
- Amen! - He watches his friend's worried face- What's wrong Axel? I notice that you have been worried lately.
- It's this message from Raniel, I know it's nonsense, but I think that this time it is not a simple message.
- Nonsense my friend, we have already done so many missions for him.
- I know, I know. But something tells me this is going to be something big. - And hearing noise coming from the background they turn and see someone riding a black griffin passing by them quickly and only have a glimpse of a knight wearing a red cloak. -
- Wow, this one is in a hurry! I don't believe it, is that the guy who fought with the thieves?
- It must be, a griffin of that color is rare to see. Look Zenon, we have arrived at Tassy and he has the same fate as him.
Zenon raises his eyes and sees the great gate of the kingdom which was in a small opening between the two mountains that surrounded the kingdom of Tassy, and because of them it became a natural wall where the only three ways to get there were to climb the small path, come by air transport of magical animals or by means of teleportation.
The gate was protected with magical runes that made it more resistant and the whole city was surrounded by a large magical barrier. Inside the kingdom was beautiful and rich, the main street was a junction of two avenues that cut the city in half and had several stores selling books and magical items that were famous throughout the kingdom, but there were also stores selling other items such as clothes and food.
The street was very busy with tourists, travelers and people who lived there, in the other streets were large houses of the richest people, but in the background were the simplest houses in the center of town was a large square with a statue in honor of the goddess of magic and the square was richly decorated for the festival that took place every year on behalf of the goddess that lasted a week and at the highest point you could see a large castle that was the most famous school of magic in Tassy. Passing through the gates Axel and his companions separate from the caravan and they thank him and give him a reward for his services and Axel and his group go down the main street.
- Axel that we can stop and buy some things? And also some things I want to buy. - The girl in the sexy clothes goes to him.
- Later Sarah. I want to know what Raniel wants.
- Damn it Raniel can't wait a bit.
- AAAAHHH!!! - A man flies past them and falls into the manure cart.
- What the hell is that? - They are startled to hear noises and find themselves in a mess in the tavern. And another man flies out, only now through the window.
Next another guy flies out and out of the tavern comes a person in a black hooded cloak that covered his entire body and face and at his waist he had two swords. He looks at the fallen individuals without showing any reaction.
- You can stop there, man! What do you think? You think you can just hit one of our colleagues and stay like this? -His tone was one of anger and indignation, he stands up and starts swearing, pointing at the guy in the red cloak.
- I think one thing: You are nothing but a bunch of idiots. - The guy's voice was thick and muffled. -
- Come on, man! Hey guys. Let's teach him a lesson! - Five more physically strong guys come out of the cave and surround the guy and go to confront him.
- What a bummer!
- What do you think, Axel? Shall we help? - asks Zenon quite animatedly.
- I don't think it's necessary, but if we need help, Zenon.
- I see. - The men attack him, but he dodges them easily.
He jumps up and kicks one in the face, throwing him away. Meanwhile, one man manages to grab him from behind, and another starts to beat him up. But to the surprise of both he disappears and comes up behind them, punching one of them hard, who is thrown far away, carrying two others.
- But what are you?
- That's none of your business. - He punches the last one - It's your turn to go to manure!
- Not this! - He tries to run away, but is held back. -
- Bye-bye! - He lifts him up, throwing him mercilessly into the manure. - They try to run away, in vain, but are all thrown into the manure. -.
- My tavern! It's all destroyed! - says the owner, crying. -
- I apologize for the damage, sir. I hope this will help repair the damage. - He hands over bags of money that he had taken from the guys. The tavern owner is moved and accepts the money. -
- Thank you, sir!
- No need to thank me, it was the least I had to do. I am sorry again. - He leaves, but first something lands on his shoulder. -
- What a strange face, eh Axel?
- Yes, but what surprised me was his strength. To lift a guy that size you have to be very strong. You know, that physique doesn't match his strength.
- That's true. You know, I heard that certain monks can do this easily, easily - Zenon says, laughing.
- I heard that too - Axel sighs - Come on, we have no time to lose.
Axel leads the way followed by the others to the central part of the town where the large square was being decorated by the population and the group heads for a large house facing the square. Axel is the first to go down, followed by the others. He knocks on the door and waits. It doesn't take long and a servant comes to answer and smiles. The servant was a human old man with grayish brown hair, black eyes and skin tanned by time.
- Hello Mr. Axel, it's good to see you, Master Raniel is waiting for you in the garden, give the horses to the boys to be looked after. - says the servant calling the others. - This way. - He enters and Axel and his companions follow. The servant calls some helpers and they take the mounts to the stable that was to the right of the entrance of the house.
Raniel's house was very large and with all the comfort one could have, it had a beautiful garden in front, a stable with exotic animals and some that were not dangerous were free to roam. Axel following his horse noticed that a black griffin was in the stables.
- Whose black griffin is that?
- Oh, it's one of master Raniel's guests. Now follow me, the master is waiting for you. - The servant leads them to the side of the house where there was a large garden. There they see Raniel embracing the guy in the red cloak and as he moves away he lowers the hood revealing that she is a woman with beautiful black hair. A beauty never seen by Axel but so to speak was by familiar. He watches her hair carefully from top to bottom, it gave him an idea of wanting to know how soft it was to his touch and stopping his gaze at her mouth, all he could think about was grabbing her and kissing her for a long time. Confused by these fierce feelings so suddenly. he shakes his head so he can clear it.
- Wow how beautiful she is, agree with me brother. - says Zenon -
- Yes.
- I can't believe it's you! - Says Sarah in a total hate - I can't believe that from so many places of Evans I find you here Nyara Kimari!
- I say the same, Sarah Liene!
- It seems you are friends. - Says Zenon but Sarah quickly cuts him off.
- No!!!! ( They both say with anger )
