Chapter 3 - 3: Milton Hayes

Joseph took offence but didn't say to Olivia's suggestion but what if it did have strength attached? Joseph looked up, "I mean, we don't know what it is; there's no guarantee it can even be something tangible."

They thought about it, "Well if Sunsday is looking for it, it would have to be something you can touch and something power," Leyton said with a smirk, "So you'll get it."

Leyton suddenly brought out a piece of meat and stabbed it into his skewer before roasting it, "Okay, so we'll head to the village of Milton Hayes and gather information; we'll ride at noon to gather information. I'll go alone, Olivia and Joseph together gathering information, Josaphat and Maurice, try to earn us some gold; I'll get someone to settle a score with."

The group agreed and when Joseph looked at Olivia, he could tell despite looking straight ahead, she was looking right at him with disgust. "Is something-" She cut him off, "No nothing wrong?" Joseph left it at that as he stood up and fed his horse a spare carrot from his bag.

"What's with that woman?" He thought as he tended to his horse. Olivia sat back brought out a picture, and stared at it, "Who's that?" Maurice asked looking over her shoulder at the picture.

"My brother, he was a Hero, the late, great, Kenny White." Maurice nodded, "Other than a brother what was he to you?" She looked at him with disgust, "I'm not discussing my past with you."

"You seem to hate a lot of things, Olivia?" He stood up as he sat on the other side of camp, "She's always dark and hateful." Maurice said to Leyton as they sat together, "Yeah, she had her own reasons on this path. Maybe it's her fate to get revenge for her brother, but I don't know what it is."

Josaphat sat alone as he watched the stars, as the blue sky mixed with a black blend; he smiled as the sun fell under the mountain range and the sky went cold; he enjoyed it, he enjoyed nature, and loved all things natural.

"The view sits nice from that cloud..."

...

They woke up, with Leyton looking at the sunrise with Josaphat. Olivia woke up soon and arose with Joseph and Maurice still fast asleep, "What are you two idiots doing?" They took a minute to respond before Maurice did, "Watch the rising sun; what would happen if the sun went out? Life as we know it would be over."

"Look I'm not interested in your deep shit." She said as she woke her sleeping horse and went into town to freshen up, which took her under half an hour. She strapped up her boots and took a back alley back to her horse.

"Such a fine and pretty woman," A bandit said, "She looks like one of the cult of golgothic." Another said with lustful lips, "Oh, and she has a sword; she probably doesn't even know how to use it."

"She's a girl, she's mine." The other guy spoke, "No way, you got the last one."
