„Listen – I'm not a bad guy. I just don`t like the good guys"
Aries stood in front of the guild for a second before he realized that Damon magically disappeared.
And he has no idea where he went.
~Great. What`s with him today. ~
I THINK HE JUST NEEDS TIME TO ADJUST TO THE WORK.
~I don`t think that's the case here. He`s…. worried about something ~
And Aries just decided to walk home for the rest of the day.
But, as he thought Damon was worried about something, that something was here.
~So… do you have anything to talk about? ~
FOR NOW THERE`S JUST ONE THING ON MY MIND
~oooh indulge me please.~ Aries thought finally some new knowledge of this world maybe.
WELL YOU ARE FOLLOWED . BY SOMEONE STRONG I MUST ADD.
Aries started to quickly look around, between the buildings and the streets.
Trying to find the stalker. Obviously, no one in sight.
~You sure there someone here? I cant see anybody ~
OF COURSE YOU CAN`T. HE`S GOOD AT THIS.
Left – empty, just some old buildings. Nice architecture tho.
Right – also empty. Some food stalls I think.
Behind him – of course. How other. Empty street .
In front of him – green.
Wait. Green? Just green. Well Castleton green to be precise, but I don`t even know which one it is.
But yes, green something of wool or other material. Something like a green jacket or a hoodie.
Aries looked slightly up.
There it was. The hooded hoodie covering the black void where the face should be.
He , or as Aries referred to him in his mind, green it, rose his hand towards him.
RUN
Don`t need to tell that twice.
Aries stepped back, and tried to run away.
First three, maybe four steps went very well.
But then again, the guy , the thing that was standing there as the goddess said, was strong.
And the steps really didn`t make a difference.
Since again, in front of Aries was… green.
-How in the fuck – again, but now he ran right, into another alley.
-Can you not. – Green colored sleeve pulled him back into the middle.
Hero fell to the ground, Hooded creature man stood over him.
If that is a human, he honestly looks great. Even under the loose material you can see he is buff.
Hoodie was more of a camo clothing, hunter like gear.
Leather compartments for tools or weapons all over him.
Two iron axes, small like the throwing ones but a bit bigger , hanged from his sides.
Bronze leather gloves with metal spikes, made him look like a hunter .
A prime monster hunter.
Except the face. A black mist instead of a human.
-Who the hell are you – Aries tried to get up, but the thing man stood one boot on him.
-Shhhhh. Not now, its not needed – index finger disappeared under the hood.
Still the same movement to quit someone down.
THAT`S THE ONE. ONE OF THE BEST THERE IS.
~that`s great…..but….not when… hes trying to….kill me~
-Oh don`t worry. Im not going to kill you Aries. –
-What.. how do you know this.. and how do you know my name –
Slight lesser mist on his face area showed of a slight bend-like smile.
-I know a lot about humans under pressure. And a lot about your little guild members.
Especially all the new guys. Now where did he go . –
~Damon ! ~
-No idea who are…. – His foot crushed him harder - Okey okey…. I don`t know where did Damon go –
-Well well you know who then. Now WHERE – Green hood picked him up by the throat.
- We just got back from the quest… and he wanted some alone time… and he just went….somewhere-
-I see. – Dropped Aries to the ground. – In that case –
Glove covered Aries`s face.
-Sweet nightmares – Fog entered his mouth and nose, got into the eyes and ears.
And Aries mind went away.
