„If you wander long enough, there will be no need to wonder"
JUST THE BEGINNING OF A LONG JOURNEY AHEAD OF YOU.
Farmer was laying on the boar`s body.
Crying.
Damon turned around on the heel.
And went forward.
-Come on. Leave him be. – Said to Aries who still stood there, dumbfounded by the goddess.
And while he was listening to her he also tried to feel what the farmer just had.
Was it his pet, some long relationship with it.
Can`t guess just from this.
~So off topic a second. What was Mimi exactly ? ~ and he went behind Damon too.
THAT ANIMAL WASN`T AN ANIMAL WHEN YOU FOUND IT.
MANY THINGS COULD HAVE HAPPENED.
BUT ONE IS CERTAIN. IT WAS A MONSTER ALREADY.
~ animals can BECOME monsters? Humans too????~
YES. TAKE IT AS YOU WANT, BUT THESE CREATURES AREN`T THAT DIFFERENT FROM YOU.
WHETER THEY WERE OR WERE NOT NORMAL ONCE THERE IS NO TURNING BACK WHAT THEY`VE BECOME.
The walk back to the guild was long.
They had to bring back some proof so Aries was carrying one of its tusks back with him.
It felt…heavy
Heavy not on the scale but just….heavy.
~But why? That farmer loved Mimi. Why was she a monster then? ~
Damon didn`t bother to look he just went forward in silence.
MANY THINGS ARE THE WORK OF MAGIC OF MAN BUT…
MONSTERS.
HAVE THEIR OWN MAGIC.
WICKED BRANCHES OF THE WORLD.
YET SOME OF THOSE BRANCHES ARE BIGGER THAN HEALTHY TREES.
~english please? ~
HM…. SOME MONSTERS CAN BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS HUMANS.
~ah. That explains a lot. Thank you goddess.~ quick thinking about what she said.
~Wait. Monster made boar into a monster boar? That actually makes sense~
THAT IS THE MOST LOGICAL SOLUTION ,YES.
BUT STILL….WHY
~well they are monsters right? I thought they are just evil. ~
IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.
YOU THINK OF MONSTERS AS MONSTERS.
HERE THEY ARE LIKE…. OTHER HUMANS. DIFFERENT RACE.
~I don`t get it. Other humans are goblins? And mutated boars.~
AS I HAVE SAID, IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.
YOU WILL LEARN IN TIME CHILD.
They have neared the city.
Damon was tired too, since Aries almost fell in the halfway and he had to carry the tusk.
But after a very silent day in the sun they have crossed the Havenmoons gates.
~Can this happen to ….us. ~
I WILL NOT LET IT. DON`T WORRY, I AM WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.
His sword shined for a second with a golden glow.
It made Aries sure.
Sure of ….something.
And they entered the guild.
Silent.
And gloomy.
And no one bothered to welcome them.
