the blackguard company

chapter 25 the order of the dusk wake

Speeding off into Gaumaka through the plains of Tamrisil Kurt notices the sands have blackened the undead roam the desert in groups and bodies can be seen scattered about the sand but Kurt keeps up his speed seeing Darumaka still holding up and upon getting closer he sees there has been guards placed outside and in makeshift lookout towers with people outside begging

"Please let us in!" A male civilian yells pleading to a guard

"I am sorry sir but under Boris sandborns orders we cannot let anyone from outside the walls" the guard says

"This is bullshit were people of the sand who lost there homes we have the right to go into the city!" A female civilian says stepping up and Kurt slows down getting off his ride

"I cannot let you back away from the entrance and you who just got here get back on your cycle now and leave" the guard says and they get ready

"Easy there i came to talk to Boris" Kurt says

"As we said we cannot let anyone into Darumaka we cannot risk any premature undead to get in" the guard says and then they hear a scream and the others look seeing a horde of undead shambling towrds the city and a few guards look scared and Kurt gets infront of everyone unsheathing his longsword

"Everyone get behind me!" Kurt says ready. Kurt rushes at the staggering and yet slow zombies cutting at four with his longsword easily lobbing there heads off but the other zombies has turned there attention to Kurt and start attacking but Kurt dodges and block each one then he retaliates cutting down two more then the undead tries to slam there arms at him but he dodges again cutting ones head off and wounding another then and they all slam onto him but Kurt rolls away cutting off the head of the wounded undead then rushes at another cutting another down leaving two then before they could react he cuts them down then sheathes his longsword back into his back sheathe. As he does he see the guards in awe by his power and skill and then a guard goes to one of them and whispers in his ear and then nods at him and the guard heads back in

"You there with the sword on his back Boris would like a word with you go on through" the guard says and Kurt nods but looks at the civilians

"Fine i will go in but you must let these people in to and if i don't go in i would think Boris would be crossed with you" Kurt says and the guards look at each other and sigh letting the civilians in and Kury heads into the city with one of them nudges him getting through and he thinks but sighs and heads to Boris palace then in the palace throne room Boris is there relaxed then see Kurt come in

"So you have come back and you are alone" Boris says

"And your to calm for Sorig coming back" Kurt says

"Ah but i told you before i do not care what happens as long as trade is still open but why have you come?" Boris asks

"I'm looking for someone and Redrick thought you could help" Kurt explains

"Oh? And why is that?" Boris says sipping a drink

"Because in your city she had visions of some sort she may have passed it off but i could tell from her ask me who i was" Kurt says

"Maybe it is a bit of heat stroke" Boris says and Kurt sighs then thinks a bit feeling his body to see what he can use to get answers but then looks confused pulling out a emblem of a vulture swooping down forward its wings spread out with opal white eyes with a eye of a beast on its forehead of the same color and Kurt looks confused looking at it and then tosses it to Borises feet and he looks at it and is suprised by it

"Where did you find this??" Boris asks curious

"You know of it?" Kurt asks

"Oh i do this is a interesting piece" Boris says getting up on his feet from his throne "this piece of jewelry comes from the dusk wake i do not know much of them but i only know a rumor that they only come to those who follow the winged ones south but be careful i have heard they are as dangerous as they are silent but i thought they were merely a myth but this proves many things" Boris says
