AKIR

NEW IDENTITY

The village of Manvis, although it is remote, is large and
known for being a crossroads of travelers, whether they are commoners or nobles, famous
for hotels, restaurants, Selling
weapons and magic tools ،and
trade based on the exchange
of goods from different
regions.
The place is lively and full of action.

We stayed in a hotel that received adventurers and
mercenaries.

Like the rest, I wore a black
robe that completely covered
my face, to avoid collisions
with those who knew my
identity, especially since this
area belongs to Herodotus district. 

We sat at the table while
waiting for the food to arrive.

  The atmosphere is suffocating
between us, as they did not
fully accept my presence

The food arrived, just soup
and bread, better than the
leftovers I've been stealing
from the kitchen.

Alvis looked at me frowning

-"What's the matter, didn't you
like the food..."

  Then he completed muttering

-"...Now we have an extra
mouth to feed him."

Dara replied

- "Why are you aggressive?
The child did not complain or
say anything. Quite unlike you,
you did not remain silent
throughout the journey."

Donal laughed, while Horner
said:

-"Shouldn't the kids be
whinying? He was silent the whole way."

Edgar sighed and put his hand
on his head

- "Hurry up and eat so we can discuss the next step."

We met in one of the two
rooms that we had,

Edgar put a map on the table
to show us which way to go

The feudal lords of Herodotus
and Aeolus share borders with the Western Kingdom.

To avoid the eyes of
Herodotus, we must turn
south towards the fiefdom of
Aeolus, to cross into the Western Kingdom, as the common border is nothing to mention, the guard will not be tight.

Then I will go to one of the villages in the kingdom, where I have been provided with housing and enough money to live well until I reach the age of majority.

We decided to stay for a couple of days to stock up on gear and get ready for the long trip.

We separated into two groups, I was accompanied by Dara and Horner, as for the rest, they went with Edgar to do mercenary matters only, according to Alvis.

Dara wanted to buy potions and some close range weapons like daggers, so we headed to the market .

Thinking about it she didn't treat me harshly or seem like she was upset with me, but I can feel the wall she puts between us.

The market is very crowded with people, even nobles. It is a very lively place.

As I looked around I caught a glimpse of Knights carrying swords with the lion's emblem،
They are the Knights of the Lions, one of the main knights of Herodotus.

What brought them here ,they must not stray far from the castle, they must be looking for me, there is no other explanation.

I tried to hide myself, I took cover behind Horner.

Then Dara said to me

- "Let's go to the clothes shop, to buy you some clothes for you?"

She looked at Horner with a smile, and he nodded his head in agreement.
