Abel Magia & The Two Apprentices

Chapter 26 - knight of templar

 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAfter a whilst, about five minutes, the rain had stooped. The clouds over head still looked threatening. but at least the sun was piercing through. After a short walk, from where they found shelter, the three found themselves back on the main road that led to Creeslough. This Raziel thought was surly now another reason to pick up the pace. "Come lets go." he said. Again Raziel was on edge, he didn't want to be on the main road, but this was the only route in and out of Creeslogh. they came to the foot of a great hill, "when we reach the top, the town of Creeslough will come into sight". said Raziel "come, final push." As the three companions began to walk up fatigue was now setting in, they were huffing and puffin there way up, the light drizzle was met with warm appreciation. To there left was a great lake. here was a popular spot among the locals to go fishing with the catch of the day being rainbow trout. There were already a few boats out on the lake as this was the perfect weather to fish.

"When we come back this way we can do a spot of fishing if you like." said Raziel "if we have time."

"Yea that would be great." replied Abel "I've not fished sine... since.... I was out with your father" he said turning around and looking at Nikita.

"Ugh, i hate fish all slippery n wet, ugh!" Nikita said who shivered at the thought of seeing a freshly caught fish all slippery n wet.

"Thought you like fish" stated Abel.

"Yea, when its cooked" replied Nikita "but not when its fresh, ugh!" She said again.

"Well after being in Tanglewood I have developed a fear of spiders, spiders" stated Abel.

"Think that goes for me and Nikita," said Raziel.

When the company finally reached the top of the hill they were greeted by a sign saying welcome to Creeslough, they had arrived. The village of Creeslough was built under and around a hill and was surrounded by a stakewall, The main road went right through the village and at both ends stood a gate that was closed and guarded after nightfall. And upon approaching the gate the three companions were greeted by a guard. He was a black shirt, short bloke, with a bald head and had a bit of a belly, his eyes were small and then he said "what business have you here."

"We are travelers" Raziel replied "we are just stopping to stock up on supplies at your local convenience store and maybe have some refreshment in one of your taverns."

The guard moved his head forward, staring at Raziel with those small, squinting eyes and then stared at the other two and then said said "very well" and he knocked on the door with his palm twice and then the doors opened. As they went on through they noticed several more Black shirts stare at them the looked like they were playing poker and the company had interrupted there game at a climatic moment to open the door. then they closed the gates pulling a lever around that opened and closed the door. Abel looked back and saw the Blackshirts sit back around the table.

Finally the company had entered the village of Creeslough there was a grand white house that acted as a patrol station.There were hidden roads that led to various housing estates God only knew how far the palisade stretched. at each corner was a tower where a Blackshirt stood guard and there were several more Blackshirts on the other entrance into or out of the village of Creeslough.As the company walked by there was a man cutting his hedges he greeted the company as they walked in.the company all said "hello." As they kept on walking they passed the old petrol garage which was on the left, across the road was the co op anything one would need could be found here. The Co-op was a massive warehouse, with a corrugated roof. Downstairs was where coal, wood, steel and garden supplies such as soil and fertilizer was stored. Up stairs was generall good, food and other supplies.
