We were now in what looked like an interrogation room with two people in front of us. One was a armored like the other guards we fought earlier that day and another person standing in the corner covered in a black robe covering their body. Our hands were chained to the table between us and the broken remains of one of my Hibiki drum sticks was on the side.
"Hello. You are under suspicion of breaking multiple laws and are potentially going to be charged with the following: Entering the city of Orario without an I.D. or paying for entry, Destruction of property, Assulting multiple officers, misdemeanor, and Hidden Identity to name a few." The guard who I assume to be a detective or something similar was talking to us.
"Oh, so this is Orario." I said back as I wasn't sure if this was the city Rod and Njord were talking about.
"You didn't know you were in Orario?" The guard questioned us.
"No, we've been trapped in a hole filled with monsters for days and just got out. Ended up fighting a dragon which caused the most destruction and just ended up here. We had the remains but they disintegrated on the way here." I answered truthfully.
The guard turned to the robed figure in the corner to which they nodded up and down. It was hard to make out what the robed person looked like in this room, but I think they had silver looking hair.
"I see. Is that where the blood trail came from?" The guard asked believing what I just said.
"Yes, We were looking for a place to wash off the blood stains and ended up in front of that white and green building." I was explaining
"The Pantheon building. And then you started a fight with the other guards and assaulted them with a blunt weapon." They added to the end of my sentence.
"Not exactly." I then started explaining while remembering what happened.
.
.
.
"I want my one phone call." I said thinking of the only possible bright side to this as I tried to surrender.
They have already surrounded us there was no clear escape root that I could see.
Bell and Miss Eina were moved away to the building we were standing out of.
I count about 16 people in total. Five in front, Three to the sides, and another five behind us to block any escape.
"Alright big fella. Why don't you put down any weapons you have on you and come with us for some questioning." One of them said with a soft smile on his face.
"Some dum looking armor you have there, nothing to protect yer privates." Someone muttered quietly in the back after getting a little closer. Their words ticked me off a little, but I manage to keep my cool.
We turned and looked at the guy who said that and Blood Stalk started to run at him.
Blood Stalk suddenly punched the guard in the face with a quick palm strike. They luckily blocked it before it could land properly, but it still sent them backwards. They hit the wall hard enough or cracks to appear behind them.
"Why would you do that!?" I yelled at Blood Stalk for suddenly hitting one of the guards out of no where.
I grab our left hand after the fact, but I fear that I was to late.
The guard was nocked out and lying motionless on the ground with blood dripping from their head.
The rest of the guards now started to move in a more hesitant manner after one of their members got nocked away.
Three then came forward with swords in hand.
"Resisting arrest and assaulting a guard is going to add a lot more time to your sentence!" They yelled in a unison fashion.
Three of them had their swords out ran at us swinging. Blood Stalk dogged one of them but two hit our chest armor which caused sparks to fly off.
The four remaining people from behind guarded the door as the others block and closed in on us.
The ones on the side had spears and hammers at the ready incase we went their direction.
.
Blood Stalk then grabed something behind us as I blocked another sword swing with our gauntlets.
They pulled a drum stick I made and started swinging it around us to block some of the sword swings. It had a purple and yellow color scheme to it, with purple at the head and the yellow being on the grip. Blood Stalk then smacked one of them in the back of the helmet and they go down fast.
Some spears then tried to stab up but we manage to move out of the way. Blood Stalk then started to hum and the drum stick started to light on fire. It was a dark flame with a purple center of light.
They were about to fling the fire ball at the guards with full force.
"No." I said while grabbing our hand and forcing it down. The fire ball then left the stick and headed strait down exploding the ground causing a pile of dust and flames to erupt.
I could barley see as we moved around in confusion with a now destroyed drum stick and the last thing a see is what looks' like a hammer collide with our face then it all went black.
.
.
.
"And that pretty much it." I finished my story to the person sitting in front of me. Leaving some of the personal stuff out or the stuff that probably wouldn't make sense like us talking to ourselves.
"I see. We will need to check on some other statements but thank you for your cooperation." The person in armor said back while getting up. The dark cloak figure in the back went with them and we were moved to a different room while looking at us.
"By the way, when am I getting my one phone call?" I asked before they left.
"?" They didn't answer and just kept walking with the robed figure.
"That was rude." I muttered as we went with the other guards.
After getting interrogated we were put in a cage with rocks acting as walls with metal bars on the only window.
They slammed the cell closed and went off to work somewhere else as a guard was looking at us on their chair. I recognized them as the first person Blood Stalk punched which caused this hole thing in the first place. They seemed to have a broken nose or head injury since it was covered in bandages.
.
We are currently in a cell with our feet against the wall. Our feet turning back and forth in opposite directions. I look out the window and see that it was dark outside now.
"All thing considered, that could have gone better." I said looking at the ceiling of our current residence. A bleak and uninteresting room with a bucked to use as a toilet without any privacy.
"Might even be an upgrade compared to all the caves we've slept in." I said again to myself tapping our left hand. Our hands bound together in the chains.
"It not like we have any money for food or to stay at an inn. " I said to myself trying to find anything to start a conversation with them but got nothing.
Blood Stalk remained silent as we looked out of the cage into the starry night sky.
"I still don't get why you suddenly attacked that guard out of nowhere. Could you at least tell me that?" I finally asked the question on my mind.
"Didn't... like him." Blood Stalk answered plainly. They finally responded to me.
"He... called you dumb." Blood Stalk added at the end of the statement.
"There is a difference between not liking someone and defending yourself. We shouldn't attack people just because they're a little rude." I said since that was a really bad move for us since I don't know when we will get out of here now.
"Besides, I got thick enough skin to handle an insult like that." I said in a funny tone.
"...Ok..."They said back after a while.
.
"Get Out." The guard said as they open the door.
"Sure." I said back while getting up ready to be unchained from the wall.
They walked me to the exit of the holding cell and undid the cuffs on our hands.
"Your bail has been paid. You are free to go." The guard said uncaringly and seemed a little annoyed. I think this guy was another guard that Blood Stalk hurt before, but I couldn't tell who.
Bail? There was a bail? We didn't even have to go to court or anything.
Is there someone who would even pay for us to be free here?
I continued to think of possibilities as they started to push us out of the jail house. Or more accurately hole in the wall.
"Who paid for it-?" I asked little confused before getting interrupted by a bag hitting us in the face. the bag fell with a loud clink, sounding like chains or some kind of metal. They also threw our broken drum stick to the ground right in front of us.
"They wanted you to have this. Don't cause trouble here anymore." They said as they walked back. They slammed the door in anger. There was also something yellow blocking half our vison now after getting hit in the face.
The thing stuck to our face was caught in the crack in our helmet after getting smashed into the wall by that dragon. Blood Stalk pulled out the thing it was an envelope with a wax seal.
We then bent down to grab the rest of our stuff along with the bag. It continued to make metallic noises.
We opened the bag and see a bunch of gold, silver and copper coins in this small bag. Is this a prank?
"Why would someone give us this? Do you know anyone in this city by chance Blood Stalk?" I asked in case they had someone here that would do this to them.
"No..." They said back firmly.
We then turned our attention to the envelope with a red wax seal, it had the image of a person wearing a helmet with wings on it and pegasuses? Pegasi? Two horses with wings flying above in opposite directions. They were caring what looked like streamers in a circle to finish the destine.
We open the envelope with our fingers and find a folded piece of paper in it and a key. Blood stalk started to unfold it and there was something written on it.
"This is."
