ENCHANTED

Dellor

   Ayesha's pov

    I've been walking through the forest for days that it felt like my feet were about to fall off, bringing out the map that Belle stuffed into my bag which I was thankful for, I tried finding my next destination

     I was currently in the border between Cristoria (which were a settlement for mostly humans settled which was also were her village reside) and Dellor ( the Kingdoms greatest weaponery trading town )

    A few more days and I should be in Dellor hopefully.

   Setting up a small tent from some of the woods she could find and binding them together she was able to setup where she could stay for the night.
Looking through her supplies which were about to run out what was mostly left were the few silver and copper coins and some dried fish with bread.

   I brought out the dried fish from my bag chewing slowly. I needed to get to Dellor hopefully I would be able to hop on a carriage heading to the Royal city.

Bringing out the letter in my bag which I had gone through I found out Belle had an Aunt working in the castle who she believes will be more than ready to help her.

   Clutching my bag close to me I laid on the log to rest

Next day

    I was woken up by the sounds of birds chirping around me. Washing my face with the water I was able to get from a stream, I continued my destination
   After walking for a long while I was finally able to see the town of Dellor from afar
  
   I picked up my pace it took me about 3 hours before arriving at the magnificent gate of Dellor
  I pulled my cloak tightly around me and walked towards the gate I was stopped by one of the guards in a dark brown armour

   " Welcome to Dellor, what are you here for? " He said taking a few steps towards me

   " I'm here to get a carriage " I said slipping a few silver coins into his hands

  " Let her in " he said nodding to one of the guards as they opened the gate to allow me pass through
Giving them a quick nod I increased my footsteps stepping through the gate

........

   Dellor was a bustling town with lots of trades going on,
Finally locating an inn, I pushed the door heading into the inn

" Greetings" an elderly woman said smiling at me
"How may we help you" she continued

   " I need a room for 2 nights " I answered looking around the inn which were bustling with drinks and noise

   " That will be 10 copper " she replied with a light smile

  " Okay "

  "This way please " stretching her hands to her front she walked up the stairs finally leading me to a large door

   She opened the door
" Head in milady " she said showing me around
" Lunch will be served in a few minute"
  I handed her the coins, she bowed before heading out

  The room had a simple design with a large bed by the corner with a center table and simple bathroom
   I walked out of the room I needed to get some cloths and a bigger bag. I located one of the biggest market in the town, heading over to a small clothing store
     I managed to pick out a few cloaks and clothes for my journey
I was about to find my way to the inn when I spotted a commotion in a store few meters away from me, people were already gathering at the scene.

    The crowd stayed clear from the scene as if afraid of causing trouble and I was intrigued, moving closer until I could fully see what's going on

   " Surrender the blades now " a huge bulky figure growled at the figure in covered in a dark hooded cloak

   " What if I don't" the figure pulled up his cloak revealing a dark haired figure with his dark eyes holding something deep he smirked looking towards the group of people blocking his way

  One of them signaled to the big guy who immediately drew out his weapon aiming it at his head
he lightly dodged the sword letting out a sigh
" Too weak "
Within seconds the group were laying on the floor moaning in agony with blood spilling on the floor

   Cleaning his swords he put his sword back in place before making his way through the crowds.
Everyone was too stunned to process what happened before his figure vanished

' He's so fast ' I shook my head when I thought of the man with long dark hair

   ' He must be a high class demon to be able to achieve such a fit being able to brandish two swords was already a show of strength '

  I made my way to the inn  and within few minutes my lunch arrived

  " Thank you" I gave the waitress a slight nod and proceeded in digging into my food.
I needed the strength for my journey.

  ----------

  The moon was already starting to surface by the time I woke up from my short nap. Quickly cleaning up, I wore my new dress  washing the old ones.

  I have to gather more information inorder to get a carriage to take me to my destination, with that thought I went downstairs to the lounge area

   It was filled with smell of booze with men gambling and women dancing and entertaining
Finding an empty seat on the bar table I sat down thinking of how to go about my task

   " Greetings milady "
I turned towards the bartender who smiled at me before continuing
   " What would you like ?"

" I'm fine " I responded I was not someone who was good at holding liquor
   He nodded with a smile a before attending to other customers.

   " 2 shots of aquila blieu " a nice soothing voice which I could recognize almost instantly said above me before taking a seat next to me I could feel my heart beating hard against my ribcage

   It was the dark haired figure I met earlier

   I watched as he reached out his lean and muscular hands quickly downing his drink he raised his eyebrows towards me
   I looked away I don't think I could handle this I tried going to another table when I bumped into a huge figure

   It felt as if my nose got broken
" I'm so sorry"
  
I didn't even have the chance to finish when I felt a large tug on my hair bringing my face towards a fat greasy man with his long beards reaching his bare chest

   " What's a young girl doing in a place like this?" I watched him smile lewdly licking his lips and I felt the urge to throw up
  I tried struggling to break free from his grip but it was futile I could only watch as he tried dragging me to his table of friends

   I was already thinking of how to discreetly use my abilities to get myself out of here
  When I felt the fat greasy man stop he looked at his hand which was held by a figure in a dark cloak
And I immediately recognized who it was

   " You can't be rude to a lady you know " he flashed the fat man a smile before kicking him across the room and steadying me
  He drew me closer to him with a smirk
   " Can't have you be pushed around dear "

    I blushed hiding my face I couldn't help but notice our very obvious height difference he was really tall about 6'5. I didn't know why I was feeling this way towards a total stranger and a pretty obvious demon at that.
