A Demon's Heart.

Chapter fourteen: Traveling Mistakes

               And then it happened.

                Aliana fell to the floor of the small carriage and started sleeping.... It was the first time she got a bit drunk and her body couldn't stand it.... Mirghreel just stood there, with his eyes closed, expecting a kiss, blushing.... After a few seconds, he opened his eyes to see a dead body—sleeping Aliana on the floor.... Drooling while sleeping. He was filled with disgust, shame and.... Well disappointment. He took Aliana and put her on the small floor of the carriage as the driver was stopping for food in a local bar in Greyhorn, a small town south of Esmül, where Aliana was heading when she fell off the small cliff. It was getting dark, and Aliana was still sleeping, as Mirghreel was watching the carriage for the driver, when the driver went on to take the road again, he finally told Mirghreel that he could sleep, and so he did. There was still a whole night to get to the beautiful town-gardens of Algia, so it was wise so take a sleep until arriving... They were set to arrive in the morning.

               At morning, Mirghreel woke up on the carriage, the light of the suns made him wake up, three suns, a big normal one, two that are dying, and a flaming bright star. He told the driver to slow down a bit and stop by the road, while he was making his businesses in the bushes, and the driver almost shouted saying that he had to go too.... It was funny, maybe it wasn't so appealing but the driver was a dwarf, pretty stoic and with a beard that showed his families' pride for over generations.... He was still a good and skilled man when it came to riding horses and taming other animals or monsters.... Since it was at night, Mirghreel never noticed the small details of the dwarf until now.... He had to force himself not to laugh at this....

                 After it went down, they were both on the carriage and went once again to the roads to Algia. Mirghreel sat near the driver, and asked where has he from, which the small man said "Delhanot.".... He only said that, Mirghreel was surprised how few they speak sometimes especially when it's personal stuff.... "Delhanot, Lidingoth, right sir?" Said Mirghreel with a cracking voice. The dwarf notices and suddenly saw Mirghreel dead in the eyes, and said: "Yes. You never been there kid?" "Uh, no sir...." Mirghreel replied not looking in the eyes. "It's a beautiful place, but everyone's destinies don't ever match with what you want, so at that point.... You must forge your own destiny, we dwarves are good at forging, but always stick to the destinies that were made to us already, but not me.... I am forging my own. We arrived in Algia youngsters, good luck and safe travels, farewell...." The dwarf identified as Jugir M'ulis. That's was all the information he told Mirghreel, dwarves never costume to share a lot... So off went Aliana and Mirghreel to Algia, when she woke up of course.... After a long while.
