SWWIIIIII!
An arrow whistled through the air gliding with elegance until it finally embedded itself in Dan's left elbow.
"AAAH...FUCK! YOU BASTARDS!"
Charlie was still shook and Crion was watching with her usual emotionless face as Dan shouted and cursed.
Dan removed the arrow from his elbow and just as he did another arrow pierced through his forearm. The metal tip was hot as if it had just been forged and no one waited for it to cool down.
Dan also removed the arrow amidst curses and insults.
SNAAAA!
Although Dan was Injured he managed to catch an arrow that was only a couple of centimetres of Charlie. As soon as Charlie's brain recognized what had happened he fell flat on his ass.
"Come out you bastards! I know you were watching me kill her and did not even try to stop me!" Dan bellowed out. He slightly moved his leg to the side and an arrow whizzed by where it had been only a few seconds ago.
"YOU FILTHY HUMAN!" A loud voice shouted. Dan looked around to see that he was surrounded by several hooded figures. "Do you understand what you have just done?"
"What I have done? Did I not do you a favour?"
"WHAT? You arrogant fool!"
"Don't what me you filthy knife eared incels, you needed me to kill her."
Crion was standing next to Charlie making sure she was not to far away.
"What did you just call us?" one of the hooded figures snarled.
"You have ears that big and you still can't hear people, now that is a big flaw in nature but I'm gonna repeat it for you ugly,knife eared incel bastards. I called you bitches because that is what you are you racist fuckers! Your entire lineage is full of bitches, your royalty, they are bitches as well and every single citizen of yours are also bitches."
DAAAAAAA!
A heavy hit landed on Dan's stomach which made him curl. As he looked at who it was he saw that it was a blonde male with blonde hair and black eyes. He was the definition of a textbook elf.
The man grabbed Dan's head and headbut him.
"AAAAAH!" As soon as he hit him the man yelled out in pain as he held his head.
"That's karma right there. Fuck you!" Dan kicked the man in his shin making him kiss the ground that Dan had walked on.
"This is getting ridiculous, Conozia knock all three of them out. They will be judged by his majesty himself."
"Understood!"
As one of the hooded figures walked towards them Dan shouted out. "WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!"
"What is it?"
"Leave the kids out of it, I was the one who killed her was I not? Shouldn't you be taking only me?"
"They are your accomplices."
With speed that Crion could not follow one of the hooded figures crept behind her and THUD!
Crion fell to the ground, Charlie fell suit and then Dan.
With that everyone was knocked out, or so they thought. Dan was not knocked out, never in his life had he been knocked out or had he fainted. No matter how much blood he lost or how painful the experience was he withstood it.
Dan laughed inwardly before crying out in pain inwardly.
These precise bastards had hit him right in the elbow. Just hitting that spot alone was painful to humans but to have an arrow pierce through would reduce even the strongest of men into a crying baby who just came out of his mother's womb. Right now even with his high pain tolerance ability Dan was trying his best not to shout and curse and then cry.
"Conozia, carry the girl, Jsair carry the boy, Mkola carry the corpse and I'll carry the man."
"I'm not touching that corpse! I ain't going to touch it or carry it."
"That's an order Mkola, or do you want to carry that fat man."
'The fuck did that bitch call me?' It took Dan a lot of will power to stop himself from standing up and ripping her throat out. Otherwise his plan that he just thought of would be ruined.
"Yes, I will carry him."
"Ok, but just remember, there will be no switches, we leave now and we won't be stopping for a long time."
_______
Crion and Charlie were carried on their shoulders while Dan was carried on the man's back. True to their words they did not stop until the sun reached it's highest in the sky.
The man dropped Dan to the ground and let out a loud pant. "I got enough exercise for the next two years carrying this fat fuck!"
"Hark who is talking? Look at you with your pot belly and your trying to call me fat."
The man was surprised, what was there to not be surprised, although they cauterized his wound he should not be able to stay awake. He had lost a lot of blood and during this long journey he should have stayed asleep longer.
The man raised his hand and slapped Dan hoping to silence him.
"Is that how hit your wife? I'm sorry that was insensitive of me, you probably don't have a wife, no woman wants a fat man like you who slaps like that. You probably wouldn't even be able to teach your kids manners."
"Why you-"
"Syop arguing with him, just ignore him. He's trying to rile you up." The hooded woman that seemed to be the leader spoke. "We have a mission to focus on and we need to get back within a weeks time, we're already behind schedule."
"But I'm not fat!" the man exclaimed.
"Well neither am I, I got 10 percent body fat and you call me fat mr 40 percent body fat."
The man wanted to hit Dan who was on the floor again but the lady stopped him and dragged him away.
Charlie and Crion were still passed out next to him. He slapped them awake.
"Where? Where ar-... You... You killed the child."
As soon as Charlie woke up he shouted. Dan slapped him so that he shut up and that is what he did.
"Exactly, I did, Sooner or later you as well are going to have to kill."
"What...no!"
"I said whether you like it or not, you are the elder brother and you want to protect your brother but you refuse to kill, what will you do when there is someone who wants to kill you both? Will you watch as your brother is killed? Answer me!"
There was only silence.
"To me killing is as easy as breathing. The act of ending a life that was being nurtured for many years, someone's daughter, someone's father, someone's lover. Everyone dies with no exception but what will you do when they want to kill you, kill your brother the only person you have in this cruel world?"
"I...I..."
"Will you cry about it? Will you watch? Will you run away? Will you go to a pub and get drunk and ramble about how life is unfair?"
"No...I..."
"Then what will it be? Murdering someone is important in this world, justify it however you want but murder as still murder, it will also be around you as long as you are with me."
As Dan was giving Charlie a speech about murder until Crion decided to interrupt.
"Where are they taking us?"
"I don't know, let me ask them... Hey 40 percent! Where are you taking us?" Dan asked to the elf's who were resting and drinking water.
"I have a name you bastard!"
"You didn't tell me what your name was!"
"It's Mkola!"
"That's a dumb name! I'll call you 40 percent!"
The other hooded figures snickered out loud enough to be heard by Mkola. His face reddened and his cheeks puffed up.
"You-"
Before the man could answer the leader stopped him from standing up. "You will be standing trial in front of our kings court and be judged for killing a citizen of our nation."
Mkola smirked and added on, "Your definitely going to be sentenced to death, say your prayers 12 percent."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You suck!"
"Boooo!"
"Kill yourself 40 percent!"
There were jeers from his colleagues and insults from Dan raining on him.
After what seemed like five minutes of insults and loud noises and pointless threats the leader spoke once again.
"You won't be sentenced to death, if your lucky you will be or you will be kept as the queens pet but that is unlikely, you will most likely be thrown into the abyss!"
Silence ensued and it seemed like even the birds stopped chirping.
"The abyss... Is that bad?" Crion asked.
"I have heard of it," Dan replied. "It's a prison. A giant hole that is 6000 kilometers deep. It's filled with creatures of all kinds, I even heard they managed to imprison a dragon inside it. There are 134 floors each a few hundred kilometres wide. Down there it is the survival of the fittest and only the strongest can survive."
Charlie quivered as he heard this. Just a few days ago he was nearly about to die from hunger and now he would stand trial for a crime he didn't commit.
Dan saw Charlie's quivering and spoke out.
"Why bring children into this? They had nothing to do with this, let them leave."
"I already told you before, they are your accomplices and will be treated as such."
A week passed like this with Dan trying to convince them to let Crion and Charlie go and they arrived at their destination.
