5 Tankers And A Dog In Another World

Arc 3, Chapter 6: Lose ends

Finn: Jahangir? No I have not heard of him.

Finn changed into field gray trousers with black leather gaiters, a splittertarnmuster smock, Y strap and belt with MP 40 magazine pouches, a gray toque and his commander visor.

Emil: Good, that means you haven't run into him.

Finn: From that, I take it that he's a problem.

Emil: You're right about that, guy has a hard on for us. We were sent in to start a coup in Belzianki led by Prince Vincent. He went to deal with the King and we ran into his new hire Jahangir, He kicked our asses and the coup failed.

Emil assembled his STG-44 back together after he finished cleaning it, he stood up and started walking to the door.

Emil: Diner should be ready now, we are leaving here first thing in the morning.

Finn: Already?

Emil: Jahangir knows about this place, last thing I want to happen is us ending up like the guys out on the courtyard.

They walked down the hallways to the kitchen where Joseph was heating up a kettle while Krueger while seating on a stool reading a book.

Emil: Reading that book again?

Krueger: Its the only good thing is this place, everything else is childish.

Finn looked at the cover of the book, it was Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of The Red Death".

Finn: Hey my friend liked Poe, literally all he would talk about when he first learned about him.

Krueger: Oh really? Glad to know I'm not the only without taste.

Joseph: Coffee is ready, we didn't have much meat left over so we'll have to settle for extra fruit and veggies.

Joseph Placed 4 plates with a slice of beef, sauerkraut, bread and preserved peaches.

Emil: Thank you Joseph.

Her boots sank into the mud as she walked through the forest, she has been running on fumes trying to track them down.

Minerva: How much.. more..?

A horned serpent emerged from under her tattered cloak, it took it's time sensing the air.

Leviathan: We're almost there, his scent is getting stronger.

Minerva managed to break past the treeline onto the opening between the woods and the city's wall, she looked up at wall to measure the height. She spread her wings but so did the pain, she winced but pushed through it as she flapped them just enough to reach the edge of the top. Pulling herself over the edge, she looked both ways to make sure no one saw her.

Once confirming the are was clear, she lifted herself all the way onto the top of the wall. Crouching towards the edge of the inside part of the wall, she looked down at the city.

Minerva: Where do I go now?

Leviathan emerged once again and began smell the air.
