The Adventure of the Light-Bearer

CH.5 - Women In The Dark

The day is starting to brighten. The bright sunlight shone on the face of the sleeping Baron in the chair. There was the sound of chickens crowing outside the cottage, and the sound of birds had begun to chirp. There were sounds of footsteps being struck to the wood in the cottage yard. The baron then opens his eyes, rubs them and looks at Ally's room, a woman foreseen as her partner by the witch, Ramon Awaru.

Ramon outside knocked on the door three times. The baron, who had noticed Ramon's presence, stood up from the chair, stretched his body for a moment and walked towards the door to open it.

"Where's Levin? Call him now!" ramon said in a rather high tone.

"I think he's in his room. What's up Ramon? Why rush?" ask Baron. Levin and the others then came out of the room, hearing Ramon's screams.

"What's wrong?" levin asked as he walked out the door, while Ally looked confused by the figure of the old man before her, she just fell silent.

"You must go now Sagmorat. Because otherwise everything will be finished, the rituals in Akemon's prophecy will fail and everything will be destroyed." shouted Ramon frantically.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" levin asked, while Ally and Wander only fell silent in confusion.

"A slave-keeper in the kingdom of Crescabes knows the location of this house and will arrest all of you, including you Baron. About a hundred soldiers were on their way here, they were very close. I will teleport the three of you to Dormin Mountain with me. While you, Levin. No more time to think, go and find the seven pieces of Calemiara sword crystals, take the map and leave now!" ramon said as he cast a spell on his wand, which then shone brightly.

"What's? Tu's.. Wait a minute, I..." Ramon then pointed his shining staff at Levin. The beam then enveloped him and Levin's body turned into small pieces of bright light, the beam then disappeared very quickly.

Levin opened his eyes, he was lying on the green and soft grass. He then woke up and looked around, there was a large rock that looked like a cave, smelled a strange smell there. Levin stood up, a piece of paper fell out of his hand, it was the map Ramon had given him.

Levin took the map from the ground and watched it. He thought that now he was in one of the black spots on the map, which was in one of the graves of seven demons defeated by the war god Calemia.

"What should I do? Isn't it too dangerous for me to enter the tomb without any equipment?" levin asked in his heart.

"I don't think I have any other choice. I don't know anything about this area. I wish I could find something in there to sell and stay somewhere." Levin then stepped forward into the cave. He went down the stairs while covering his nose.

"What the hell is this?" he said that his voice echoed in the cave.

"The.. Who's there?" a woman shouted in the cave. The woman pointed her arrow at Levin.

"Tu.. Waitaminute! I'm not a bad guy!" levin shouted in panic while raising his hand.

"Wah wow.. Apparently just a kid. What do you want, son? Go, this place is not for toddlers like you!" said the woman.

"Your life doesn't look much different from mine. A.. I think you're younger than me, miss." said Levin still raising his hand.

"Baa.. All right, it's up to you. What are you doing here." there's a scream outside the cave that's loud enough to cut Levin's conversation.

"Boss! I found traces of people here! Come here!" yelled the man outside the cave. The woman panicked and pulled Levin's shirt.

"Hide away!" shouted the woman quietly.

The two of them then hid behind a stone pillar in the entrance of the cave. The area was a very dark area and was wide enough for the two of them to hide in.

"You find him here! I'll find that woman somewhere else. If you find him, kill him directly. And don't forget to bring his head to me on the boat" said one of the men outside the cave.

"Good, boss!" said one of the two. After that he stepped down the cave stairs. He snuck into the depths of the cave unaware of Levin's presence and the woman behind him.

The woman then took out an arrow from the arrow storage on her back. And pointed it at the person who had just entered the cave earlier.

"Wait on! You're gonna kill that guy?" levin whispers

"Shut up, dummy! This is my golden opportunity." whispered the woman, who then let go of her arrows and hit the back of the mysterious man. Then he screamed in pain.

The woman ran to the man and strangled him. Blood then came out of his mouth, his face reddened from lack of oxygen and he finally closed his eyes, he died.

"Stupid, you shouldn't have bothered me earlier, I can shoot his head out!" the woman said to Levin. While Levin looks amused by the expression of the woman who remained calm despite killing someone.

"You just killed someone, miss. Isn't it time to panic?" levin said in a high tone.

"They are criminals, ****. Their lives mean nothing. Besides is this the first time you've seen anyone get killed? What kind of toddler are you?" said the woman while advancing her lips.

"A.. Jesus, what kind of a female are you? What's even more important now is, what are we supposed to do with this body?" ask Levin

"What are we gonna do? Just leave it begging! But if you want to fuck her please go ahead, I'll get out of here" said the woman as she walked out of the place. He paused for a moment and looked towards Levin, he then continued his steps leaving the cave.
