3612.
LESRÜMAR
Ali-Altair was twenty-one years old. He was sitting in his hut, examining the maps of the region that he had opened on the table. He was very curious about other places. Sometimes he would dream of going from there. Lately, these dreams had increased. Yunus and Eran greeted each other and entered. Ali-Altair received their greetings. Yunus and Eran came to Ali-Altair and looked at the maps on the table.
"What maps are these?" asked Yunus
"The map of our location and the surrounding areas" said Ali-Altair
Eran approached the maps and started checking them. Yunus was also looking at them from a distance.
"Well, what are you looking for?" Eran asked.
Although Ali-Altair did not want to talk about it, he could not help but say, "Some sources talk about much more than we know, I am curious about them."
Yunus became curious and asked, "Like what?"
Ali-Altair began to get into the topic. "It is said that there are tribes of orcs in some unknown parts of the Misty Mountains."
"Orcs? In the misty mountains?" Eran added.
"Yes, this far from their original location."
"This is not our concern, let those in the mountains think about it" said Eran
"Isn't that right? Tell me Eran, how many days' distance is it between us and the Misty Mountains?"
Eran put his hand to his chin and started to think.
Yunus was curious and said, "How true can it be?"
"It is as true as there being people in every part of the world"
"Still, I don't think our borders could be under threat. They can't overcome the settlements in the Misty Mountains," Eran said.
"It may not be widespread in these regions yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen."
"If such days come, then we will see"
Ali-Altair did not want to extend the subject any further "whatever"
There was silence inside for a few minutes, then Eran broke the silence and said, "Come on, let's go to Lesrümar."
"What are we going to do there?" asked Yunus.
"We'll hang out"
"It doesn't matter to me," said Ali-Altair
"Then let's go," added Yunus.
Three friends rented horses and set off on the coastal road. The three friends rode their horses side by side to Lesrümar.
"We rented a horse as if we had a lot of money," Yunus said.
"Don't worry, the drinks are on me," Eran added.
Yunus smiled and said, "At least it's good."
After about an hour's journey, they handed the horses over to the stableman and started walking.
"Where are we going?" asked Yunus
"Let's go to the pub," Eran said as he walked, looking around.
Ali-Altair looked ahead as he walked, "You weren't very good with alcohol?"
Eran turned his head to Ali-Altair "I feel like drinking today"
"Good," said Ali-Altair, smiling.
"I'll tell you, a few glasses won't cut it for me," said Yunus eagerly.
Eran mockingly said, "What are you going to do, fill my demijohn and drink it?"
Yunus laughed
The three friends had arrived at the Beer Hall. The inside of the place was lit by many candles. The inside was filled with a strong aromatic smoke smell. Music was being made inside. Someone was hitting the strings of his lyre. Another person was making a high-pitched sound with a citale. Someone was blowing on the aulos to add a high-pitched sound to the music. Another person was hitting the darbuka to make calm and beautiful music. Everyone was chatting inside. Some were singing along to the songs, mostly drunk. The three friends went to the housekeeper's counter. The housekeeper looked at the three friends and asked, "How can I help you?"
"I am half a liter" Said Ali-Altair Eran also said the same
"I'll get a Bavarian," Yunus said to the housekeeper. Eran looked at Yunus with a surprised face. When Yunus saw Eran looking at him with a surprised expression, he said, "I told you I'd drink too much, brother."
"Would you like a second one?" he said sarcastically.
"I'll probably buy it"
"May it work"
"Thanks brother"
The innkeeper handed out the beers. The three friends took the beers and sat down on the empty spot they found. They lit their pipes and smoked while sipping their beers. Eran was looking around. Eran inhaled the smoke deeply. "There are such beautiful girls."
"I was looking too, it's really crowded today, I already liked a lot of girls," Yunus added as he blew out the smoke.
Ali-Altair was just sipping his beer and looking around. When Eran couldn't get a comment from Ali-Altair, he poked him in the shoulder.
"Have you ever had your eye on it?"
Ali-Altair pointed to the table on the left of the housekeeper and said, "Two of the four sitting at that table are not bad."
"Agha, it's not enough to point out, if you want to go and get it, they won't understand like that" said Yunus in a sarcastic tone.
"If they understand, let them understand"
Most of the people inside were chatting, while some were just watching the girls around, drinking beer, smoking pipes or tobacco. Two girls sitting two tables away from the table where Ali-Altair was sitting were looking at them, while they were also talking among themselves. One of them was short with black hair, and the other was obviously tall and thin with brown hair. Ali-Altair smiled a few times to joke with Eran after seeing them looking at him.
"Eran, look, the girls behind the two tables across from us are looking at you, they definitely like you, go talk to them."
Eran looked at the girls at the table that Ali-Altair mentioned, then turned to Ali-Altair and said, "They are beautiful, huh?"
At that moment Yunus looked at the girls
"What are you waiting for then?" said Ali-Altair
It was obvious that Eran was hesitant, "I don't know."
Yunus backed Eran up and said, "Come on, go away, what's going to happen?"
Eran did not answer
"Which one do you like?" asked Ali-Altair
Eran continued to look at the girls. Ali-Altair raised his voice while laughing. "Did you like both of them?"
"The other one is beautiful too, but I like the one with brown hair," Eran said.
Ali-Altair looked at the girls and then turned to Eran and said, "He looks tall, it would go well with you."
"It will go, right?"
Ali-Altair nodded in approval.
"Should I talk to the other one?" said Yunus
Ali-Altair leaned back, clasping his hands behind his head. "Maybe."
"Of course, if you don't like it," Yunus added.
"No, if you like it, go talk."
"Eran, what do you say, should we go?"
"I don't know"
Ali-Altair approached the table and looked at Eran and said, "What kind of a man are you? You went to Nubalur and spoke directly to him. What happened now?"
"Then I became enraged"
Yunus intervened and said, "Don't cause a scene like in Nubalur."
"No, it won't be like that this time," said Eran.
Ali-Altair leaned back again and tied his hands behind his head. "How scared you are, Eran."
Eran turned to Ali-Altair and looked at him with a serious expression. Ali-Altair was also smiling and looking at Eran. Eran stood up. "Yunus, come on." He said and started walking towards the table where the girls were sitting. Yunus stood up after Eran. "Aha, he's going."
Two friends came to the girls and asked, "Can we sit down?" Eran and the girls looked at Eran and Yunus in surprise.
"Sure, sit down" said the girl with black hair
Eran and Yunus pulled up their chairs and sat down. The black-haired girl looked at Eran and Yunus and asked, "What are your names?"
"Eran"
"Dolphin"
"What are your names?" asked Eran.
"Misray" Said the black haired girl
"Asyhe"
Eran smiled and said, "Beautiful names." Then he filled his pipe and lit it. "Do you girls smoke?"
"No, we don't use it," Misray said.
At that moment Yunus had lit his own pipe. Asyhe was looking at Eran without letting him know. It was obvious that she liked him but she was trying not to show it and she wasn't talking much.
"Why didn't your other friend come?" asked Misray
Yunus and Eran turned around and looked at Ali-Altair. Ali-Altair was leaning back with his hands behind his head and smiling as he watched them. Yunus and Eran turned back to the girls.
"I don't know, he told us to go," said Eran.
"Alright"
"Do you live here?" asked Yunus
Misray made eye contact with Yunus and asked, "Yes, you?"
"Do you know Khâru? Have you ever been there?" said Erân.
"No, we never went," Misray said.
"We can take you whenever you want, it's a beautiful place"
Misray raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Maybe."
"Is this your first time here?" Asyhe asked, looking at Eran.
"We've been coming and going for a while, but this is the first time I've seen you here. I wouldn't forget you if I'd seen you before," Eran said, smiling.
Asyhe smiled and Misray was laughing. "Look at you," said Misray, laughing.
Yunus was talking to himself at that moment "(He said that he liked Asyhe, he is talking to Misray, should I talk to Asyhe, what should I do? I am confused, Eran, what a turncoat man you are, damn it)"
Then Yunus approached the table as if he was rushing and looked at Asyhe. "You don't talk much?"
Asyhe looked at Yunus, "I don't know what can I say?"
"Can we buy you another beer?"
Asyhe smiled at Yunus and said, "Okay."
"By the way, you're an attractive girl," Yunus said, then Asyhe bowed her head and smiled. Eran hit Yunus's leg with his leg. Yunus turned to Eran and looked at him as if to ask what happened. Eran was looking at Yunus with his eyebrows furrowed. Yunus, who didn't understand what was going on, blinked one eye and shook his head. Eran approached Yunus's ear and whispered, "Man, she's mine," then he turned back to the girls.
"(This bastard has his eye on both of them)" Yunus thought to himself.
Eran Yunus turned to Asyhe so that he wouldn't talk to her anymore
"How are you?"
The girl suddenly turned her head to Eran and asked, "I'm fine, how are you?"
"Well, did I tell you that you're beautiful?"
"No," the girl smiled.
Misray intervened and said, "Aren't I the one who is beautiful? Call me beautiful too." She said, laughing.
"Of course you are beautiful" said Eran
"You are both beautiful and sweet," Yunus added.
Misray was smiling and playing with her hair. It was obvious from her appearance that Misray was a very warm-hearted girl. Her smile was always on her face. Her speaking style and facial expressions were also pleasant and impressive. While the four continued to chat among themselves, the door of the pub opened sharply. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door. Four people, led by a tall and big man, entered the room. They stood in front of the door and looked around. Almost everyone had turned their heads. The four men went to the counter where the housekeeper was. The big man among them leaned on the counter with his right arm and looked at the housekeeper directly. He said in a harsh tone.
The housekeeper prepared the beers and handed them to the men.
Eran and Yunus turned into girls
Eran was nervous but he was trying to focus on the girls without showing it.
"It would be better if there was no incident," Misray said.
"If it comes out, I will watch it with pleasure," said Eran, although he was a little nervous.
The men who bought the beers drank the beers in one go and put them on the counter and asked for more. The landlord gave them new beers each time. The tallest man among the men held a beer in his hand.
