Marcus Triun - Part 50

"I'm done." Cucurion said. The blind seer, Ankhet turned to the direction where the young man was speaking. He pulled up one of his eyebrows. "Done with what?" He asked. "Just with all of this, this crew thing is nothing for me. I want my revenge right now, not waiting another two years for Akastria's sake. We went all the way over here to find some other fool just because a seer tells us to do so!" Cucurion blasted out. "You had something better planned then?" Volfram said while he walked out of the door, towards Cucurion. "Do you really think we can stop Marcus, no wait, the whole Ayakashi army with some physical strength?! Are you that blind? Grow a pair of balls kid and use your damned mind. You don't have one for not using it. " Volfram said. Cucurion grumbled something and sat down on the sand. "How is he doing?" Ankhet asked to break the silence. Volfram grabbed a small satchel from his belt, opened it and put it to his mouth to let the cold water flow in his mouth. Volfram swallowed and said :" Honestly, I don't know how he's doing. I think his mental condition is getting worse of what has happened with him. Those Gubh - Liunk ... I thought they were extinct?" "So that's how those creatures were called ... Interesting." Cucurion said. The blind seer didn't reply, he was staring towards the sun. Weird, like he knew where he was looking at eventhough he was blind. Up at the horizon, where the sun was shining, a figure appeared. A small figure. A person? It was a girl, a young one. Maybe sixteen or seventeen. Cucurion directly focused all his attention on the girl , Volfram noticed and directly glanced towards Cucurion. Fits. After the girl, others followed. And within moments of seconds the whole town was surrounded around the house, they must've heard the ruckus and went for a sneak - peek to find out what was going on. The girl that walked up front confronted the blind seer. "What happened !?" Ingia asked. Ankhet didn't reply, he whistled and his crow came back to lean on his shoulder. He turned around and walked inside the house. Ingia glared towards the seer. Strange one that is. She ran towards Volfram to ask the same thing, but just before she could he held his indexfinger towards his lips as a : Ssht. I know what you want to ask, I'll explain later. She understood and sat down next to Cucurion. Volfram took another large sip from the satchel and attached it back to his belt. Here goes nothing. The crowd was there and Volfram took out his Witch Hunter badge. "It's all right people , calm down ! I've started an investigation around the house and we had some argueing but we've all sorted it out now!" A random man, proposably because of his heavy voice, said :" That good for nothing Mortem 'aye ! What did you Witch Hunter's take so long?". Volfram directioned his eyesight to the man. He could see the direct terror in his eyes, afraid for the mysterious Witch Hunter's. Their headquarters were after all stationed in Niarlore, and this part of Safilore was just on a grid next to Niarlore. Very close to their headquarters. "I could ask you the same thing. Why didn't you people inform us earlier about incidents that happened earlier? Otherwise you wouldn't have been so negative about the boy, am I correct?" Volfram asked. The man nodded thoughtfully and stepped back into the crowd. "Any more questions?" All hands went up into the air, people were screaming all their questions up and down. "No questions? Good." Volfram said and blindly ignored the big crowd asking all sorts of questions and nodded to the two to enter the house. They went inside and Volfram closed the door behind them. After several minutes the crowd left. That day the boy woke up now and then, asking for something to drink or to eat. He was getting ill. He had a terrible fever, and this would slow the group down. Cucurion and Volfram cleaned up the bodies from the Gubh - Liunk earlier that day and had cleaned up the house. Ingia was sitting next to her ill friend all day, everytime he woke up and asked for something she would fetch it for him. So caresome. Volfram sighed. He opened the door and walked outside, it was night and the full moon was shining bright. Darn it, today I could've been werewolf hunting he thought. He sighed even deeper. He pulled out a pipe from his belt and searched for the small box filled with tobacco. He filled the pipe with some tobacco and lightened it up with the campfire Cucurion had made. He then inhaled the pipe and puffed it out again. Volfram sat down before the campfire and looked over to his left. He could see a shade going up and down. It was Cucurion doing his night workout. Push ups, sit ups, sword fighting, archery . You name it. Later that evening Cucurion passed by to apologize for his behaviour earlier that day, he went inside to catch up some sleep. They had some rough nights after trying to track Mortem down. Sometime later the tobacco in the pipe was all smoked up and Volfram returned his pipe onto his belt. He slowly started to lie down on his back, watching the stars. And after sometime, he fell asleep.
