Chapter 11
——— Pov:
"What did you just say?," The man with dirty blonde hair said to the other man clad in Black Scales.
"I said that the margraves men just came up to the hot springs around 75 miles away. The prince of the Tribe of Strike also came without anyone knowing. He came with the Margraves children, now they don't know the monsters paths and stuff. So if they get into trouble, save them and bring them here so they can recover. The knights to and you can inform them about the monsters and stuff. An in exchange you can ask for the antivenom for your brother," The man in black said.
"I can get the first part, but its a month, he might never get healed!," The first man yells back.
"Stop yelling, you should go, then we can get medicine to heal him. He wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for Rider sending Night with him!," A girl with similar hair says to the first revealing the man in black to be rider and why the one they were talking about was still alive.
"Alright, fine, I'll watch them, but one sign of them coming for me and I am out!," He says to Rider.
"Fine," Rider replies.
Theo Pov:
Once we had arrived we had been found and sent to a Steam controlled room for warming. I seriously underestimated the amount of warming needed along with my friends. "From what I heard it was about 30 degrees outside here, just below freezing. Why did I have to be an idiot of all things!," I say, complaining to my friends.
"Hey, we thought we could take it as Beast-kin wolves, at least they got us warm," Henry pointed out.
"Hey, don't mind me, but we came up with the answer to all of this now," A knight says coming in.
"Your the one who gave us food aren't you. But we are not going back, nothing can stop us!," I say recognizing his armor from a few hours earlier.
"Yeah, the decision that we came to is that you will be allowed to stay with us. But only under a few conditions, since you came without permission you will be following the commanding knights orders. You will stay towards the back in case of an attack by monsters. You can get anything small that gets through us. I hope that is ok with you, also in two weeks if there are no monsters, we are heading up the mountain. An my name in case you were wondering is Reynold," The knight finishes telling us his name.
"Ok, I understand," I say finally feeling warm. After that the knight leaves and we go to the changing rooms where are bags are. We each grab a towel and go into a stall and wrap up in it. We plan on enjoying the hot-springs first!
After we are done changing we go out to the hot-spring and I am impressed. The place is well taken care of and looking at my friend Henry, he is incredibly buff. His sister went into the other spring since it would not be right for us to be in the same one. It would decrease her status and make me have to maybe marry her due to how this world is.
We go to the hot-springs every few days and train when we don't. But the monsters do not start coming when the Glacier starts to move. So the day comes when we will head up into the mountain. I wonder what monsters we will uncover on the slopes of the Monster mountain range.
We grab our gear and head up in Reynolds party as he is our guardian while we're here. It is about 30 miles from here to the edge of the range. From there we will patrol the next 35 miles of the mountain range. If we don't come across anything then we will report back. If that happens then all of this will be for nothing so I should devise a plan with Henry and Hannah to make this last longer. After all it will take a total 6 days to do the full investigation. We will be going over a glacier eventually so we need to be careful. Mainly since twenty men are staying behind.
Narrator Pov:
The gear that is required is a bit normal for the Beast-kin since they have fur on their heads but still need some. The humans on the other hand need heavier gear as the Temperatures will be going down to 0. Theo, Henry, and Hannah will not be making the same mistake twice.
They head up in the morning and arrive at the bottom of the glacier. They are a mile away from where the glacier is but they want to be safe. Especially since they will be climbing the next day. It had taken them a whole day to get here because of the snow and ice. Sadly they are not as used to it as Hunter who hunts a lot in the glaciers.
You see the Glaciers are hollow and look like a paradise with warm air when it is actually very cold. Imagine a perfect forest in about -20° Fahrenheit during the winter and 20° during the summer.
The next day they get to climbing and when they reach the top they see a horde of goblins. It seems that is is really slow this year, especially since this is actually a smaller part of the glacier so the monsters come down Earlier. Theo wanting to hunt monsters joins the fray and attacks. Hannah and Henry also join the fray much to the knights dismay. They don't like it when nobles fight with them for some reason.
They continue their journey for the next 2 days when they are about 10 miles from jones. Now while there was nothing in danger in that area they still wanted to see if monsters were congregating. Thankfully they were not at the assumed location, but on the way back?
