Three hooded figures enter the cell and walks over to us. They put our wrists in rusted and old-looking chains. The myzers help me to stand and i look at them with a confused expression masking my face "where are we going now?" I asked weakly. They replied with silence and lead the both of us to a new room.
The room had a long table down the middle of room with a red cloth laying down the middle of it. Candles stretched all the way down in between two seats at a time and the table was smothered in plates of food
The walls had lamps- seemingly lit with electricity and had many old and very worn paintings which looked to be priceless heirlooms. A single figure sat at the head of the table and Myself and Nuada sat half way down it with our plates almost hidden by the amount of food and decorations there were.
I open my mouth to speak but the person at the end of the table slams their hand down
"I call to order a proposition for you both." It speaks. It seems to be a woman but its so echoey that it's hard to tell from the tone of their voice
"And what may that be?" The blonde sitting next to me replied.
"Help." They state.
"With what?" Nuada says sternly
"There is something dangerous.. it's named the Blood heart. It's power is leaking as it has been broken and we need two brave souls to collect it. You are the chosen." The room falls silent
"So.. you guys don't want to kill us then. All these years i thought you were the evil ones" i chuckle "i see now thats not the case. I shake my arms and the person nods for the shackles to be released from both mine and Nuada's wrists.
"We accept your proposition" Nuada states "and we will happily get the stone." He pauses..
"But we want something return. We want people working to rebuild our village, not just the villages that own a lot of money. Got that?" He argues
"I see, and i will be sure to have some arrangement to as you wish." We are then dismissed by the rest of the hooded group and escorted outside. As we walk through the painting filled hallways, we admire the decoration of the carpet and the ceilings.
One of the figures step forward, grunting as he shoves a heavy backpack into Nuada's arms.
"This should suffice on your travels." He says and hands over two daggers and two long swords, both seem recently re-made as a seem runs down the middle of both, suggesting that the swords had once been broken but soldered back together again. The one given to me, however, had strange carvings down each side of the blade. I stare at it in awe and with then one final explanation of how to get there was told by the hooded figure. We were told that by following a very old path from before the great destruction, we would be able begin the our journey and retrieve the blood stone.journey and start in the direction.
