Chapter 33 - The quest to continue with 1

„its easy to start something. Its easy to end something too. But its hard to keep on pushing"

-What about them? –

- I mean, they are kind of weird don`t you think –

Conversation sparked from a simple question.

Then it kept on getting longer and longer.

- why is their blood green? Humans have red blood, animals too so why hey don`t –

Aries got confused earlier about this, but now someone more knowledgeable appeared.

This morning, he came to the guild to check up on the quest

And it got picked up by a small party of adventurers.

They weren`t particulary famous or great or outstanding, but still they were quite good.

It was Arron, the giant from yesterday. He thought it was nice to help the new guy.

With him, again from yesterday, the drama king Finn. This time with more equipment and more hair gel or whatever existed here instead.

And two new people he haven`t met before, being an archer Caya and another female friend who hasn`t been introduced yet.

~No weapon. How is she an adventurer. ~

But instead of blades or bows or fists.

Yes, fists the size of a face would be considered weapons for sure.

She was dressed similar to Aries, with nobility clothes and a cape covering her from head to toes.

Perfect clothing for long journeys by foot in blazing sun.

-Well here`s the thing. Goblins are monsters and have green blood. Some spiders and other insects can have blue. If you have some other blood in you, it may be darker or lighter. Simple.

-Wait what do you mean "some other blood". –

-Elven ,dwarven, some desert folks . You know , other blood.- Arron looked like he was trying to explain basic math to a toddler.

-huh good to know. – They arrived the crossroad.

~Was this the left turn or the right turn ? ~

Racking his brain trying to remember what Damon told him before .

~If I went left here, and it was wrong then right is correct. But we were going the other way so it should be left ~

Luckily, everyone else either could read the signs, or remembered the correct way.

- Anyways back to blood theme, many people have ancestors from all around the world.

And all around the races too.

My great great grandfather was, supposedly, a dwarf - He puffed out his chest for some reason.

Arron was probably the tallest person Aries has ever met.

And taller by a lot. And had no beard. And had dark skin. And was bald.

-Supposedly is the correct word here - Aries remarked.

-No, you should see my grandfather. He`s half my size but twice the appetite –

~That is more of a dwarf I `m familiar with ~

Chit-chat continued until they arrived at the village.

Somehow this time it only took them an hour of marching.

Or more, but definitely felt quicker.

Maybe because of their conversation.

Mayor was waiting for the party in front of his house.

-Oh I see the young boy returned. Where`s the other one? –

-Healing his arm still. – Finn came forward this time – Goblins are the same? –

-Well yes. – clearly the man wanted to converse a bit before they went out hunting.

-We haven`t ventured in after this one came here, but they haven`t attacked us too -

-Good. New one, lead the way. Let`s get this over with as soon as possible –

Turned on his heel and went forward.

Arron also wanted to chat, but sighed ant followed the party leader.

And so, the five of them went into the trees.

The mayor and a few people waved them goodbye, as if they would never see them again.

Aries waved back and disappeared in the shadows of leaves.

~Why are they so sad. Its just a few goblins for five, well four and me , adventurers~

Villagers waited until no one could be seen.

And one by one, went back to their daily tasks.

Last mayor was the only one standing.

Waited, and waited.

And waited.

And waited.
