It was a peaceful night, no one talked. They all were drowned with the shining light of stars and behind those stars, laid vast arrays of infinity. It was crazy to imagine that. But Dustfinger was imagining the possibilities behind it as they walked through stiff and sloppy areas of the meadow. The path was narrow and dark, but stars above them shone that made everyone see everything.
The lingering light was obliterated by the rapidly falling night. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of jet-black that engulfed the grass. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, but there was an adequate amount of shimmering stars to illuminate the dark, moonless night. The lake glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars and the luminescence from everywhere.
Dustfinger was not leading the way, but Darius. He sped and reached Darius, he was observing his looks in detail now. Darius was a reek little old bulky purple faced man. He looked as if he wanted to kill somebody now. It was unbelievable how a person like Darius would help Dustfinger. Was he doing that for himself, or it had to do something with that thing called "Big thing."
It was confusing so Dustfinger let thoughts to drown into deepness and moved forward to look Resa and Lisa. Lisa was stumbling all over the place because she was tired already and Resa looked bright, She was smiling and it was beautiful. She looked like an angel. She was walking straight with her chest wide open as she was proud of her body and was excited for what is coming.Her teeth were bright white, Eyes sparkling and hair waving. It was as if she did not belong to this world, Obviously.
But Dustfinger was attracted to the thought that did all people looked like that in her world, or was she the only angel-like person.
Gwen was nowhere to be seen and it was okay for everyone because they knew Gwen loved to roam and would come back sniffing their smell somehow.
Dustfinger was worried about Resa that will he be able to take her back to where she belong, but he was sad more than he was worried about her because he had fallen in love with Resa. It didn't matter to him that she'd talk or not. It was something in her that attracted Dustfinger. Or as we may call, It was everything.
After a while, someone finally broke the silence.
"Are we there yet?"
"No, we are not. Shut the hell up and don't talk, you never know if there are Capricon's guard strolling over the bushes here." Darius answered that to Lisa
They kept walking, but at a slow pace. They didn't want their shoes to make such noise that would make guards jump over to them.
They decided to have a break, for a couple of minutes. To have their legs finish with the muscle cramps and their lungs to breath a little more while they rest.
They heard something. Capricon's guards marching their way. Left Right Left Right, They heard footsteps getting closer and closer.
"Quick, Hide!" Darius squeezed Dustfinger's arms and pushed him towards a big rock. Lisa and Resa followed quickly. Darius was still slow, but he was running as fast as he could to reach the rock where other's were hiding.
A hit in the head, Blood flowing all over the place, It was Darius. He was unconscious. One of guard's had him now!
The Guard was dragging him now, He screamed "Wait! Wait! Wait" The guard looked confused but started dragging him again, But that message was for Dustfinger, he heard the word. And he knew that he shouldn't go and save him and be the hero, They should continue the journey without him, But what journey? They didn't know anything at all!
Three guards, standing behind Lisa, Resa, and Dustfinger. Dustfinger turned back and looked at them, carrying big sticks. All the guards were wearing Crow colored jackets. They were all black. It was almost impossible to even see their faces, but one of them was laughing opening his wide jaw and yellowish teeth. They looked horrible and Dustfinger realised that by their faces, They didn't look much welcoming.
Adrenaline rushed through Dustfinger's body, He wanted to attack but he used that on his brain instead, He figured that if he's caught and made to go back to the Castle, He can find Darius. But it was impossible because those guards were muscular and that castle was a total maze.
"Ho Ho Ho, Look what we have here. All the three bandits. We're gonna have a lot of money today, Dustfinger got a huge bounty on his head, King Capricon's is gonna be happy with us, Julia."
One of the guards was a woman, Dustfinger couldn't figure it out until he stood up and looked at the curvy body of a woman standing with her eyes focused right at Dustfinger's face.
"Are you excited for the Big Thing?" The woman said to the other guy like a hound who has never tried a good ol' meal feast.
They dragged them back to the castle.
