chronicle 25:High Risk on Water's edge

I knew it was coming, not sure how but I knew, I learned to not second guess these things they happen frequently for warlocks, and right now this one was saving my neck before we were taken but I can't say who and when it'll happen, right now we are in passing Riva del Ferro a massive opening tourist area and wait, I look up and the two leads are getting off, and I look at him as if curing him, like "hey this isn't supposed to happen" And yet Judas is so cool.

The two running our boat hook the line and he turns to them.

"Uh, permission to ask why we are stopping?"

And the man next to us looked at the woman, almost embarrassed.

"The leader has requested a break sir do you mind great fathers" I leer at them, but without saying anything, the young russian woman was clearly in distress.

"I'm sorry the lack of water means we drink a lot of other things and it goes through me I'll only be a minute, Mikhail honey do you mind coming with me I don't want to get lost" the slightly older male nodded and smiled. "Of course love" He turns to the two males and us.

"Fathers, can you do us honor and accompany us? I believe you two are more..relative to the area I'm willing to compensate you" I look at Judas rather than at them, and I mentally drop my head in defeat. I don't have a choice. "I Guess as priests we can't say no, so sure bring our stuff?"

Judas nodded, and the look was of him being clueless. Seriously. I grabbed my bag and we both hit land, and I was now really worried this was it they had to be our assailants, especially now that I mentioned it the place we caught them, was named after the Regio family ahh smooth smooth

But coincidence doesn't work here. I see you Hekate you ain't sly, as soon as we get around the corner I'm gonna nail these two with a spell of my own and drop these two, A woman and a man coming from Reggio to our boat when Judas has a package? Too easy, nothing is that coincidental, so as we both hit land, we start walking "to find a bathroom". It's a crowded street, tourists are following through left and right, and it honestly looks like it's gonna rain. I shake my head and we start walking through the area. It's really easy to get lost, so I'm betting that's when we'll do it. The opening from riva di ferro closes the closer we get to St. Mark's basilica and I bet this the time to strike, we're wandering, listening to the man and woman and I have to say I"m anticipating which spell to bring these two to their knees but right now we need to get there,

"So what is it like in Russia?" Judas asks as I walk along with Mikhail, now that I mentioned he looks shady, with long blackish brown hair, gruff, he's got a slight goatee wearing a jacket, then again given our area, it's a good cover. I take a deep breath I need to stay calm these are not likely easy if they are tracking us to get a package, there's plenty of organizations they could be from Mafia, anarchist crime organization, right-wing, and even deeper I bet you they are working for Alexis and Gabriel, they did what they could to get me while I'm here, well I hope they are ready to have a couple of corpses I'm not going down. I can't help but overhear their conversation

It strangely sounds like code but that's just my mind seeing what it wants to and I realize Mikhail is trying to talk to me

"How long have you been a priest? You look young for one,"

I try to act natural and I smile as we walk through the corridors heading down towards where it gets narrow and slightly less crowded

"I've been a church boy for four years, and a priest for three, I"m still in my studies"

The male slightly widens his eyes.

"You're only 17 years old and you're a priest? You must be quite gifted" he says and puts a weed stick in his mouth and lights it and the scent of ocean breeze and juicy rose petal jasmine floats around and hands it off to me. I'm hesitant, I don't like weed but this one can hurt, I slip it in my mouth and he lights it for me, and I'm easily calmer after, less stressed, and suddenly I almost lose it as I'm grabbed and struck in the face before someone throws me into the tight wall and slashes my his chest at a hard angle

Suddenly Judas, Mikhail, and the wife are put on alert as two blue-robed figures appear, I'm slightly dizzy but now I'm ready and I'm going after Mikhail. He saw the moment and now I'm ready to set this place ablaze...
