Basc-Alula

Chapter 14

"Aaahhhh..." Said Detertran, pleased and relaxed. "I'm impressed I managed to win twice, now."

"I say it was LUCK!" Retorted Tubigia loudly. "Completely LUCK!"

Detertran, Myaostha, Senetra, and Tububiga were playing the Toyu statergy game, Twisin. A game where one opponent needed to figure which list of commands the others gave to their figure. Tips our you can make out a person's expression to see confidence or not.

"Detertran is a fighter. Knows much about combat." Said Myaostha.

"Do our parents need anything, Senetra?" Asked Detertran, seeing his pondering expression.

"Well, I think I will switch with Uldefyn." He said.

"Oh yes, I believe the boy would like a change in scenery." And Detertran moved himself to the other room.

Uldefyn sat beside Minya-toryasshe's bed. He was writing. Couma-ret laid half his body upon her.

"Uldefyn, it is my turn to watch over them."

"Okay. But I've just been doing better here. My sister..."

"I understand, you can preside over your, I over my father.

And they did. As Uldefyn, Detertran got a little tired.

(We see an ass lay upon a smooth surface)

This couch... perfect... undented, soft... it'll provide... comfort... ease... from this... tragitity...

Uh...

"HAAAAAAAUGAAAAHHHHH!"

"WAAGGH!!" Uldefyn screamed and he fled.

"HUH!" Couma-ret was stripped of his sleep.

"What the-" Myaostha took quick notice of this and entered the room in caution. "What has-"

"There is trouble HERE! Males, females, CHILDREN fighting! Being torn, pounded, sliced THROUGH!"

"Oh no..." Myaostha was take aback by this. Senetra equally as well. Couma-ret more so. The children even more so, quivering visibly.

"WE MUST GO! Stop whatever violence is left!"

And as they run, determined to put an end to these sudden riots, Couma-ret said, under lowered tones. "I so hate consequences.''

-------

"Ahhh..." A depressed sigh from Myaostha.

They'd come to where the violence WAS. Found it rather. There was no more bashing or slashing, but the aftermath of such ferocious fighting was evident. Wrecked walls, Vendors broken in pieces, cracks on roads as long as the Toyu arm, Alleys crudely widen, materials scattered about, thrown about wildy; worst of the marks of destruction, stains of blood in long, wide, and distorted varieties on every surface they could see.

Amid all this, numerous guards were handling repairs, cleaning mess; standing over by detained Toyus; healing fallen comrades.

"What kind of fight was this?" Senetra said, in despair, as they walked midst this shadow of violence.

"It was a... urgh... chase." Said an injured Toyu coming to them.

"You must be Ghalia-la, I believe." Couma-ret said. "Did this really happen?"

"YES!" Said Ghalia-la angrily. "And it's all because of Remenda and his followers." He thus went on for the next half-hour explaining what's happened in Treti.

"Is Gertci alright!?" Asked everyone, distressed.

"We got a group searching for her and the others now. From what I'd seen... she'll hopefully be unconscious."
