Chereads / The Bored God / Chapter 13 - The Village

Chapter 13 - The Village

The group departed shortly after taking Saor with them, the travel was going to be tough, only the best of the Guardians of Magma could survive it, so they decided that for Saor's safety they needed to make the travel slower.

The first day of travel passed pretty fast, at the sunset they decided to set tents, they needed to prepare in the case of a beast attack, with time more and more creature having the same trait of Magma began to be born, some of them were very aggressive and used to attack the travelers.

No one knew how they were born, but all of them resembled normal animals with few peculiar traits such as blackish skin, black scales, red eyes and fur, bigger size and the ability to spit flames.

The camp got set in short time, everything was ready, Saor was blocked with a pairs of ropes, even if sturdy Saor could destroy them with ease, but he decided to remain trapped in order to find out more about them, two Guardians had to act as a guard in order to defend the group, while the rest took some rest for the next day.

The first night passed swiftly, the group just stared at Saor trying to see his reactions to all the new thing the strange creature was seeing.

The second night the group started talking to themselves about the incredible things that this discovery would bring to their clan.

Saor listened to all their speeches, trying to understand as more words of their language as possible.

In the third night a herd of fearsome beasts tried to attack the group, the group managed to defend itself well, but one of them got wounded, in return the entire herd got killed, they celebrated the win with a great feast.

The carcasses of the beasts got devoured by them before the morning.

The fourth night something amazing happened, while the group was talking they heard a feeble voice repeat some of their words, their eyes brimmed amazed, Ruby the most excited, she declared in front of the others that she would teach their language to the creature, receiving only smirks and laughts from the rest of the group.

After that promise, time flew in the blink of an eye, for months Ruby tried to teach more words to Saor, with him showing few results, even under the cynical gaze of Blaze she continued to try to teach Saor their language.

After seven months they arrived to the clan, enormous walls surrounded the village, a wall built with black bricks the wall obscured the land below, in front of the only gate there were many people, each of them armed with weapons, their armor wasn't very ordinary since it was made entirely of goldish ore and black scales.

The group met with the guards, Blaze spoke with the guards, Saor listening to their every words, even if he showed little comprehension of the language in front of the group, in reality he completely memorised their language.

Blaze said "We have found something incredible, we must show it to the chief, it's urgent".

With a surprised look the guards gave them access to the village.

The group got througt the walls and a marvellous sight appeared before Saor, calling that a village was an understatement, it was an entire city built inside of a volcano, houses built inside the walls, tunnels that connected the inside to the outside, it was really a sight to behold.

Ruby staying next to Saor smirked at his surprised face, feeling proud of her home.

Before she could brag about that Blaze interrupted her saying "We don't have time to loose, we must be fast and show this to the chief".

Following his advice the group began descending inside the volcano in order to reach the deepest house.
