„I wouldn`t call myself a hero just because I saved someone`s life. It`s called self-control"
The bell was surprisingly loud.
Or it maybe was just the smith`s arm that rang it was very thick.
Anyways, the street was soon filled with its noise.
- Goddess damm it. This isn`t over old man –
Right pointed the dagger to the shop threateningly.
Left started pulling away from him too.
Armored for sure, someone was coming
-Guards. Fall back – Left and Right started to run away.
-Yeah run cowards – Damon taunted them on their way out.
Smithy came out of his "hideout" or shop.
-Ay fuckers. They can`t just let a man work in peace anymore –
-But ye – pointed angry at Damon – Scram. I don`t more troubles from adventurers-wannabe-
-Actually, its not a wanna-be anymore - he took pride in this like it was a great achievement.
Blacksmith raised his eyebrow -MM sure.-
Guards finally arrived.
Late but hey, still something.
- Same thing as always huh, Wethir. – Guard leader/captain came close to the smith.
Noticeably taller than him.
~Was he always this short ~ Damon just realized that he the smithy
~Weird name too . Wethir. Who comes up with the names here ~
But back to the height matter, yes the Wethir was always shorter. And wider than Damon.
But didn`t noticed that until now.
-Yeah. I gotta say, you have to take care of them. The sooner the better –
-You know it`s not that simple – captain responded – They are still a guild. Who joins them is not our jurisdiction. –
-Ye ye I know. But for fuck`s sake, you can at least arrest one or two in a month. Brats are bad for business . – Wethir stuck his hammer in his pants and finger up his nose.
-Fine fine. – Guards took a chain and some weird bracelet – come on kid. –
-Huh. – Damon forgot for a second he was still there.
~Why they looking at me like that.~
Damon looked behind him, but Right and Left were gone.
Other side of the street – no one can be called a kid there.
-Wait wait wait, I think there`s been a misunderstanding –
Already in cuffs.
Smithy took out his hammer and hit the captain in the helmet.
Good thing he was wearing one.
-just cause I told ye to go arrest one. –
-DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GO AND GET A RANDOM KID OF THE STREET –
Guards tying Damon up looked at the smithy, then at his hammer.
-You guys have really tight cuffs- massaging his hands .
-apologies citizen, we mistook you for someone else – bowing down.
-Yeah yeah not the first time. By the way, they went there if you want to chase them -
-I believe this isn`t a matter of a single attack like this. I will take this to my supervisor-
As fast as they came, they left.
Very useful intervention from the local authorities.
~I`m glad that the law enforcement is the same in both worlds ~
-OI blacksmith don`t go away, I have a couple questions. –
Wethir was already going back to hammering.
-I`m busy boy, find someone else to bother. – waving for Damon to scram.
-Hey hey – he caught up to him fast – Come on I helped a bit, can`t you ..-
-No. ye done shit here. –
-Come on just a few questions. You be hammering and I be questioning simple –
Dwarf-like man put up his gloves back on and got back to hammering.
Minute of clanging later and Damon just standing there smiling at him.
-Get the bellow – Smithy finally said to him. – The thing that blows air – added.
-So. – after they went back to work- what did you want to ask? –
