(2000 plus word chapter an apoligy for making you wait this long for chapter 8 I had also ended up deleting half the chapter when trying to post it but I didn't want to get you to wait any longer so the next day I rewrote it with more detail)
Walking into the town we saw brick walls and flagstone flooring, malroth runs around while I look at the different houses admiring the buildings. As I do that two men walk up to me, they're practically identical to Digby and dougy "what are you doin' ere" one of the men says the other says the same thing, malroth runs back to me and sees the men "hey how did dougy and Digby get here" malroth asked, "whos, Digby, an' dougy I'm lentbi an' this is me mate raota" (i know I know stupid names) lentbi said looking at malroth "sorry we came here from rimuldar we just wanna make sure this place is safe" I interrupt stepping in front of malroth "safe... now that you mention it there has been somfin strange goin' on near the south gate" raota says looking towards the south. "What do you mean by strange?" malroth asks tilting his head
He starts walking towards the gate and beacons us to follow him we both follow him through the gate. Raota points to some cannons sitting on an outpost "those cannons keep going off every now and again, the people here have been avoiding them saying there haunted" suddenly lentbi butted in "raota stop talking bout ghosts, you know they're not real" raota crossed his arms and huffs "you never know they could be" I look at malroth who looked very confused. I step next to him and whisper "they definitely act like dougy and Digby" and he nods with a smile, I interrupt their bickering and say "ok doesn't matter if there are ghosts or not is there any leads to what actually is going on here" they both look at me "before we tell you we wanna know who you are" lentbi says crossing his arms "uh... my names taru and im a builder, i came from rimuldar because they were being attacked we came here seeing if this place is in the same condition" I say smiling as I saw malroth change his hand to make it better to grab his weapon "ok good enough but honestly no people just stay away from this hall, and the store room I guess" raota said pointing to a room just north of the outpost "storeroom? Whats so special about it" malroth says standing up straight "mostly cause its close to here but some of the guys say its a bedroom not that anyone sleeps in it though" lentbi answerd "any way we gotta go feel free to do what you like just dont destroy nothing" raota said walking out with lentbi behind him
When they're gone I sighed "what's up with you," malroth says leaning an arm on my shoulder "im too tired for this," I say laying my arm onto the one on my shoulder "you're tired cause you won't sleep idiot" he says "nah... any way i wanna check that room" i say standing up straight "huh what room" malroth says getting off my shoulder. I walk to the supposed store room and opened the door when going in it was just a storerrom some barrels and boxes a couple lanterns and some random items thrown about "hm it's a storeroom yeah but why are they staying clear of it" i say rubbing my hand along the wall "cause its near those cannons, wasn't that why" malroth said stepping in behind me "you'd think that but the bath to the south is just as close and is used a lot" i protest picking up one of the small trophies i smile at the slime looking figure, putting it down i head to the other corner of the room, which was furnished with a nice looking bed a bed stand with some bottles and a pot of flowers at the foot of the bed. Next to the door was a sign "so its a private room guess that should have been obvious" i say walking to the sign malroth stands next to me as i wipe my hand over the sign as large clumps of dust fall off revealing the name owen
"Whos that" malroth says rubbing off the rest of the dust "i not sure but given all the dust and the artefacts from the dragon lord" i huff coughing from the dust "id assume this is the ancient builders room" malroth looks towards me "you good?" he asks "i'm good just a small dust allergy" i say with a nod "anyway if this is the ancient builders room that means his name was owen that's so cool" i beam as malroth went to look under the bed, after a couple seconds he stands back up dusting off a book as i try to look over his shoulder, when he finishes dusting it off he hands it to me
