Chapter 26 - 26: The matter at hand (James)

Wednesday, December 13th, 7 Years Before The Sacrifice

The three of them keep an eye out for anything that might seem suspicious. That ends when James stops the wagon abruptly.

"Why'd we stop?" Astrid asks

"Yeah what the hell" Asher says

"We've arrived at our destination," James says

They all look at the small hut they've just come across.

(This is the place it said to go in the description of the quest) James thinks

"It's even worse than our house," Asher says

"The house isn't that bad!" Astrid says

"I think we should go in," James says

"Agreed" Asher says

"Ok," Astrid says

Asher walks up to the door but when he reaches for the handle the door swings open and a person grabs him and holds a dagger up to his throat.

"Who are you!?" The woman asks aggressively

James is quick to grab his sword and Astrid her bow.

"Let him go now!" Asher demands

"If anyone makes a sudden move I'll slit his throat," The woman says

( I should try and talk before things get out of control. Judging by the elegant handle and how dull yet shiny the dagger's blade is, I'm guessing this person isn't familiar with using it. I bet it was probably given to her as a gift. With all that being said I'm positive that this is the noble we must protect.) James thinks

"You really don't want to do that to the people who have come to your aid, The adventurer's guide would be displeased that you've killed one of their adventures without reason," James says

"You're with the adventurer's guide?" The Noble asks

"Of fuckin course we are!" Asher says aggressively

"Even the kid?" The Noble asks

"No we just couldn't find a babysitter," James says jokingly

"Hey!!" Astrid yells

"Would you kindly move your dagger away from his throat?" James says

She puts the day back in its sheath.

"I guess introductions are in order," The Noble says

"You're not going to apologize for almost killing me?" Asher says shocked

"My name is Vivian Rose, and you are?" Vivian asks

"What is your full name?" Vivian asks

"Oh… um actual–" James says before being cut off

"Her name is Astrid Sylvia Bell," Asher says

Astrid's eyes light up hearing Asher says that.

(Sylvia wasn't that the name of his... Wait, why the hell did he give her my last name!?) James thinks

"Oh, so the two of you are related," Vivian says

"Sure we'll go with that for now," Asher says quietly

(Why is he lying about this?) James thinks

"Um… yes, let's just get back to the matter at hand," James says

Astrid gets closer and holds James's hand.

"He's right," Astrid says

(Why in the world is she going along with this!?) James thinks
