Mormerie of Gloomy Horde

CHAPTER 9: SCARLOTTE THE SWORDSMITH

Someone's POV

Juno was frustrated and blamed the head, but he could not speak to the head about the grudge so he kept it inside.

When the head was informed that none of the troops survived, he was frustrated. He summoned Juno to his room and told Juno that it was his fault for doubting his plan to kill the enemy. Doubting means bad luck for the head, but Juno agrees and takes all the blame. The head told Juno to do something because he was a senior of all the swordsmen. Juno promised the head to kill the yellow aura and stop the war, and the head trusted Juno's words even after he blamed Juno for everything.

Juno kept thinking about other ways, and then he thought about the other swordsmiths outside of the nation. His what-ifs haunt him all night, as he believes that maybe other swordsmiths who didn't belong in the kingdom can make a really fine sword and even better.

That made Juno go outside of the nation and find a swordsmith who could help him.

He grabbed a horse and went outside the walls.

As he went far away from the walls, he noticed a strange dust of yellow magic on the walls, and as the horse was running, he kept on looking straight in his back. Then the dust of yellow magic disappeared. He rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, but then there wasn't a dust of yellow magic. He thought it was just an imaginary and he just got used to seeing the yellow aura human. (He didn't know it was the secret wall and it was hidden in his visions because of magic).

An hour later, he found a strange village that had no nation, and he hoped there was someone from there who would give him a sword that could kill the yellow aura. As his horse crossed the bridge, the place became a vivid shade. The bridge changes everything about the village, outside it is all depressing and gray, but as you cross the bridge, you see it as a vivid shade of the village.

Juno knows that this place was influenced by magic, the bridge speaks everything.

The village people were looking at him as his horse was walking through the brick road.

Juno asked one of the people, a man, and said "Is there someone from here that was a swordsmith?"

"Turn left when you find an oak tree"

"Maybe there's a lot of oak trees here?"

"No there was only one oak tree in this village"

Juno was creeped out about the accent and also the looks of a man. He just follows what the man says to him.

Far enough with his horse riding, he saw an oak tree, so huge, and he turned left.

There's a lonely house away from the village, and he went there.

He saw a bunch of swords displayed on a table in front of a house, he knew it was already the swordsmith's house, so he moved fast and parked his horse.

Juno knocks on the door, and no one responds. Then he knocked harder and the door was turned into iron, and that hurt Juno's knuckle.

Even the door was controlled by magic.

He heard someone clearing their throat, he turned around.

And when he turned around, a very tall stranger was looking directly at his face with his eyes wide open. Juno was surprised.

The stranger was like a folk, and he was very tall, wearing sando and jeans with a pair of cowboy boots, and had a strange eye that could widen like his eyeballs could come out in his eye socket.

"What do you want?" said by the stranger with a crispy voice.

"I am looking for a swor-"
