Chapter 98 - Volume Ninety Eight

The sounds for the crickets jumping around. Their sounds made my last sentence hit harder for them, that wasn't part of my plan. I didn't want them to focus on Marcus. That poor child doesn't need anymore attention drawn to him, the rest of the party were stunned. No words were said for the minutes. Then finally Eten broke the silence as if she had cut it with a blade. " So Jim!. What kind do powers does Marcus have any way?!, I Mean since you don't have any. Well at least that is what you've told us. Which no of us believe that you are without power, do you want to tell us more about Marcus?!. Or is his past blurry to you?!". The attention was brought back to me. Sadly it still revolves around Marcus though, he is a very unique character. I can't tell them that the place where he was born is their home, simple cause they won't believe me. Seeing how that can't even believe that I have no powers. That reduces the chances of them believing in the unknown past of Marcus, technically I can't say anything about his past though. I saw images inside of him. That doesn't mean that thing I saw was him, while struggling to find an answer for them. I was bailed out by the owner of the carriage. " I'm so glad to finally meet you Marcus!. I Mean it's been what thirteen years since I met you, y'all should have seen him back then. He didn't have all that shiny armor. All he had back then was black shirt, white coat with a hand painted Cross on the back. And some of the rugged pair of pants I've ever seen. I know that you don't remember me, but I remember you. I'm glad to see you again, I've had heard a rumor about the Crusades massacre. All I could think about is that I hope that you weren't apart of it. I'm sorry for ever doubting you, also I saw that ring on your finger. Congratulations on the wife, I bet she is a lucky girl. You must have been married for a long time. By how deep the impression is on that finger, by your tone I'm guessing that you have a child as well.". I was going to hide the ring from them. I'm not ashamed of my wife though, it would has just complicated the whole situation. The attention is finally back on me, I just have to keep their attention drawn to me. This man knows a lot about me, I took a long look at his face. Then I remember that his name is Jackson Pill, he use to come to do business with my people. That was some time ago. He says that he remembers me when I visited Nord, I don't remember seeing him though when I visiting. Whenever I had done business in Nord he would always offer me a ride back home, whenever I finally broke the news to him. He cried more than I would expected him to. I responded back with heartfelt warmth in my voice. " Jackson Pill, it truly has been a long time. Yeah I've just recently heard the news about the Crusades, it truly is a tragedy. But before their deaths I was separated from them, they wanted me to do an unspeakable act. So after that day I've decided to part ways from them. And thank you for congratulating me on my marriage, it's been a very difficult life. But I don't regret any of it, also I need to give you the directions of where we are heading to. Seeing how you only on the path leading to Daragain. Which I don't want anyone to head there cause of the townspeople, knowing that y'all aren't ready for the rude awakening.". The party was shocked at the news of my marriage. Well most confused at the fact I got married, their faces show their confusion. They probably thinking that I'm telling them lies about Daragain. Brod spoken since the launch of the carriage, " Jim. How can we trust your words sir?!. I'm not trying to be disrespectful at all, but it sounds like your trying to make Daragain hell on earth. Daragain can't be that bad sir. I mean Nord isn't bad at all, so how come Daragain is in the dark?!. I don't mean to offend you sir, but I call bullshit. Look at us Jim, we can't believe anything you say. After you told us you have no powers. Think about it Jim, our Hero. The hero of Nord is just normal. We can't accept that idea. And I know that the people of Nord will be outrage with this information, so prove to us that you are just a ordinary human. Prove to me that our hero is just a giant scam, prove it!". I never wanted this for the people fo Nord, to show much love for me. All I wanted is to showcase the love of Jesus Christ. How do they want me to prove that I'm just ordinary?!, I don't get where he is coming from. I never claimed to be a powerful man. This is worse than I thought it would be, they are worse. When I get back, I'm going to find the statue they had made of me and destroy it before then. I am not worthy of being worshiped like Jesus Christ, I would love for their to be another path to my home. Their isn't though we have to go through Daragain to reach my house. Sunrise started to rise from the trees, causing glimpse of rays of the sun to awaken those who are asleep.we repacked their supplies for the trip, the carriage made its way to Daragain. I'm hundred percent positive that they are not ready for Daragain. While watching the trees pass by. Before Them they haven't realized it yet, this is the last time their sanity will be in check.
