„Truth is one. Sages call it by many names, but it`s still the same truth"
We can skip the road this time since it went similar.
They went by foot, following the "map" they had.
Pretty easy, go with one road, look for occasional signs .
Aries still managed to get the wrong way, but nonetheless Damon helped again.
Only difference is that they had more to talk about.
Aries had a full time job in explaining the amazing magic abilities of Mona.
The beauty in her magic, how she took care of all the goblins at once and so on.
Damon kind of listened to this.
Sure, magic is interesting too.
But…..goddess.
Why? Why goddess?
~Bastard never mention a goddess~ He battled his mind over this.
What about his god? The one he follows.
Well follows is a big word. OBEYS. That's better.
~Who is "goddess" ? ~ He tried to figure that one out ~Another diety of this world? ~
~And why are they praying to her. Not him. Something is up ~
But still, it was hard to think over this alone.
And while he got Aries on his side babbling and requiring attention.
Sure enough, they arrived at the quest side.
-Okey so let me get this straight – Aries started the talk – You had this boar since it was born –
-Yes correct – Farmer or maybe boar owner, not sure how to call such a person answered.
-And you looked after him for years now .
-Yes.
-So how did ….. this happened? – He pointed at the absolutely destroyed stone wall that used to be the fence for the animals.
-I told you already. Mimi started acting weird, I gave her the usual food, slightly more, and then she ….Changed. A lot. Bigger, bigger tusks, more fur. – he tried to gesture and drew some things in the air.
Damon and Aries looked at each other, obviously not knowing what he tried to draw.
-And then it ran into the forest right ? –
-SHE ,yes mimi escaped there. – angry boarfarmer insisted on using the name mimi
-Okey mimi should be there now ,yes ? – Probably, no one seen her outside. –
-Good. We`ll try to bring i….her alive. If not possible, she`s going to…. –
-I know. I get it. It`s may not be my sweet little mimi anymore. I`ll…. I`ll try to bear with this somehow.
Crying and on his knees started chanting some weird things, mostly about boar coming back alive.
-You know what… Let`s just go. – Damon bumped lightly into Aries to get him going
-Yeah… this is getting weird. –
And so they slowly backed up.
Away from the farmer who was getting freakier with his prayers.
One step at a time. Quietly.
Until they were out of his range of hearing and vision.
-Is he okey in the head?- Aries tapped his skull hard .
-Probably not. –
Still they proceeded to complete his request.
-Just remember – Aries pointed his finger – We first capture it alive.-
-Why do you think I wasn`t – Damon hid his blade
Eyebrow raised, questioning all of that ,was enough.
-Okey fine, we`ll do your way. What`s the plan ? –
-Catch it alive.–
-Are you joking right now -
-No, that`s the plan. Find it, catch it, tie it up, bring it alive –
Damon blinked extensively at him. -And how are you going to catch it ? Explain this to me please. –
-Emm… That… is .. a ..question….I…will. Answer you later. –
-that thing ran through the full-on stone wall. And destroyed it –
-Well, yeah. But that was a while ago. And he didn`t expect that –
- You know what – Damon picked up his sword again. – I just got the funniest idea.-
Instead of the boar, I will just kill you instead . – Broad smile showed on his face across his blade.
-Okey okey we… umm …. Oh I know. We`ll set up a trap for it . –no response from Damon`s face.
-I KNOW HOW MAKE ONE – Aries crawled up to a tree. Still nothing,
-AND I`LL BE THE BAIT- word "bait" snapped Damon. He calmly seathed his sword.
-great. So what`s the plan again? – smilingly he added
