„sometimes no words mean more than any poem"
They started too see first sign of human buildings along the road.
Sure it took them an hour.
Then an hour cause someone decided to turn the other way.
And another one to get back on track.
But Aries and Damon got the village after all.
~I`m starting to think that it was a better idea to go alone ~ Damon was a little pissed off.
Can`t blame him.
-Aries I have a great idea. – He said slowly while huffing from walking.
Aries also quite tired slowed down.
- Please don`t lead the way again. –
-you know what….
Under the highest sun of the day they got to the village.
One big house among the others surely must be someone`s important.
So they headed in.
- Hi there – Damon pulled out the quest request
– We were told that we can get further information here-
Some old man looked at the paper , then at the guys and raised an eyebrow
-The guild sent …. You? –
- Yes.. should be enough for a few goblins, right - Aries claimed.
~ Confident. Good. Will be useful later ~ Damon noted.
- we were excpecting a little….. more . Hopefully we won`t have to make another quest.
The man , mayor of the village to be exact , went outside with them to the outskirts of town.
- Goblins mostly come from here, and inside the forest.
~so... they know where they come from ~ Damon started thinking about it.
- and you want us to do what exactly? Kill everyone of them ? - said out loud this time.
- It would be nice. But no, there must be a camp of them, some cave maybe. Any settlement of goblins they reside in. – Mayor explained further – find it first. Then we can help you either burn it or the guild will take care of the rest.
~ kind of dark~
- For now just find it. We`ll talk later. –
And the mayor went back to the village.
Aries and Damon stood next to the forest border.
-So…. We just go in or you want to do something before that-
- No. – Aries already headed in.
~great. ~
So Damon went in too after him.
Trees weren`t tall, but had great amounts of leaves in them.
Shady yet green.
Some spaces looked like they`ve been run through.
~someone comes here often. Maybe goblins made a route for themselves~
-Aries come look at this - Damon got his partners attention
- blood. Green blood – Aries said – Goblins must have been injured lately –
~huh. Green blood . good to know ~ since Damon never seen a goblin in this world, nor any monster, he had the full right not to know that.
- Let`s follow it, should lead us straight to them –
One teeny tiny problem.
Grass and leaves are green.
So is the blood.
Aaaaand they got lost immediately.
- Great now whe…. – Aries started to get annoyed by this
But got interrupted by Damon who was stiff and alerted for some reason.
-Shhhhh – and he put Aries to the ground.
-Rrrrrrr - something was close.
Both reached to their back
Their hands went on the handles.
Both their eyes were locked on the sound source.
And it was close.
