Chapter 6: Resa and Lisa

A new day; birds could be heard chirping and singing from the room's window. It was a bright day. Not same as yesterdays. Capricorn's village had weird weather conditions all the time. The weather was just like the owner of the land, Capricorn. The weather was as stubborn as Capricorn. It would do anything it wants. If it wants to change to heat, It would be melting or if cold then it would just freeze everything!

There were clouds in the blue sky today. Big white clouds that covered the whole sky while people enjoyed the cozy weather. Gwin was doing his favourite job, sleeping. thought not to awake the poor little marten. He decided to take a stroll outside, to smell some fresh flowers. He went out, this time, he decided to go out to have a stroll in the village instead of the boring castle's garden.

He was at the gate when a man grabbed his collar from behind. It was one of Capricorn's man named Cockerell. "What do you think, you are doing, our little guest?" cried, Cockerell. "Sorry, Am I not allowed to go out in the Village to have a stroll?" responded Dustfinger with a grin on his face.

Basta was standing far behind Cockerell. "Let him go Cockerell, but go with him," Basta shouted.

Dustfinger did not like the face of Cockerell, nor his voice. He was a thin person with reddish hair and a little beard. Dustfinger felt like he was some kind of prisoner at this moment. He didn't want to be a prisoner of some stupid mad king.

They both went out to the Capricorn's village. They saw children playing around the corner, a fight between a wife and a husband. A blind man sitting outside his house enjoying the splendid weather.

"I hate them, I hate them all. They all will be destroyed into ashes." Cockerell sounded disturbed and furious. "Why do you hate these poor fellows? after all, this is your master's village, no?" Dustfinger responded suspiciously. "Yes, It is Capricorn's village and we will destroy them all until the big thing that Capricorn is going to do which will be..." He stopped hesitatingly, acted like he said something that was not supposed to be uttered. "What? What thing? What are you talking about" Dustfinger tried to make him talk. Cockerell showed him a knife and told him to finish his stroll so that they would go back in the castle. This move made Dustfinger even more concerned about his thought of being the prisoner.

He at once remembered the lady from the other day. He wanted to meet her at any cost. At one moment, he thought that he might as well run away from everything because everything was now so confusing; he was to die in suspense. He knew that something is wrong, but it would need guts to find out.

Dustfinger had his breakfast early in the morning; it was evening time as he was going back to the castle. He could see the sun trying to cover itself as fast as it could in the hills of Capricorn's village.

Gwin was awake and waiting on the door for his master. Gwin jumps onto his lap and Dustfinger patters him as a Good boy that didn't cry after his master was gone somewhere. Dustfinger had closed the window shaft too because he knew that Gwin might jump from the window and get away from the ledge located just outside the window anytime, it was too dangerous for him, Dustfinger thought.He was so busy playing with Gwin that he did not know how long it has been. There was a little to no knock on the door. Who was at this hour of time?

Dustfinger opened the door and there were two ladies in front of him. The first was the same he had asked that who was the mute girl and the second was the mute girl itself.

"Can we get in please?" The second lady gulped.

Dustfinger gave them a way to enter the room. They both were out of breathes. It seemed that they had to run some miles before reaching his door. After a moment, or two they both caught their breathes.

"Hello, My name is Lisa." said the second lady. "And her name is Resa" she continued "She wanted to talk something with you, She cannot talk, So I'm here with her to translate what she wanted to say with her gestures."

"Oh yes, I've been worried about you. Eh... Resa!" Dustfinger didn't blink once while glaring into those big blue round eyes.

"There is a secret she wanted to tell you.." said Lisa. "What kind of Secret?" interrupted Dustfinger.

Alright here we go, Lisa took a deep breath and started talking.

"She was not mute in another world..." Dustfinger again interrupted "WHAT? Another world? What do you mean by another world?"

"She says that she had a husband and a little daughter in another world and was not mute until when she was accidentally brought here and accidentally lost her voice."

"This is rubbish, How can there be another world." Dustfinger wanted to laugh, but his voice betrayed him in surprise.

"No! there is...Ugh!  I'll tell you all about it tomorrow. All the things that Resa told me and what you have to do."

"What I have to do?" Dustfinger sneered.

"Yes, You have to run from here. This is not good." continued Lisa "I wish I could tell you all at this moment, but I can't because we got no time. If that old stupid Magpie saw us with you, She would kill both of us and hang our sweet little heads on top of the Capricon's throne."

"Tomorrow night, There is a hidden place where there are no guards, I'll take you there and I'll tell you the secret Resa want you to know and what you should do, Please. I know this is confusing but you have to understand this. Resa is stuck in this world for about ten years and she cannot do anything. She has tried couple of times which all resulted in failure. They'll also kill you eventually! Because of some reason that Capricorn is planning to do big that no one knows, yet expect him, Basta and Shadow."

Resa was sitting beside Lisa holding her hands tight. All he could see in her eyes was helplessness; he felt pity for her. She was biting one of her nails in agony.

"Okay, I don't know what both of you are talking about. But, I'll decide tomorrow night at your... eh... whatever that hideous place is. Alright?" Dustfinger's voice cracked after every second word he uttered.

They both left and the room was  empty again, leaving Dustfinger and Gwin alone with only their thoughts again with just the difference that Gwin's thought contained meal for the next day. Dustfinger's mind froze, his body was unable to move. He wished that he'd wake up any moment because of his friend splashing water on him, and realize that all this was nothing but a nightmare. But some part of his didn't want that now...because...of Resa.
