ARAGU

Third Elemental

A bounty hunter came inside a tavern and all the people inside looked at him. Nothing is new, he's the greatest bounty hunter in the land. He goes around by the name, Zed.

He lazily put his string bag on the bar counter.

"The usual please." Zed said and the bartender tend to him immediately.

He gave the bartender two gold coins for the exchange of beer and a roast chicken.

"So Zed, how are the foreign lands?" The bartender asked.

"The rumors are true, another war is coming." He answered as he munched on his food.

The bartender was surprised but mostly it was fear he was feeling.

"Bounty is not doing good these days because of the war." Zed added as he looked around the room. A group of Aragura caught his attention.

The bartender noticed this, "They came an hour ago. Looking for someone, but I know they're not from here." Zed could careless about what the bartender said but he was sure of this excitement growing inside of him.

"The Master of Fire has lost her way! Tell me, are you here to pick a fight with the strongest Bounty Hunter in Aeronimbus?!" Zed yelled and that made everyone in the room turned their heads to the hunter as well as to Xaeron's group.

The two Princess noticed the tension in the air and that made them anxious. The Aragura who challenged Xaeron is not ordinary, he is not very friendly either.

"The Master of Fire is here?" The murmuring started.

"Wait, a woman?!"

"How on Aragu did that happened?"

Princess Frea felt the book started to shake and she opened her satchel. The book shoned and Princess Frea started to chant a spell then the book flew over to Zed who is now standing and drinking his beer.

"I'm sure the Spirits of Aragu are joking?" Xaeron said to the Princess but the latter didn't mind what she said.

Xaeron groaned as she stood up.

"The book is never wrong." Princess Frea said.

"Do you know him Xaeron?" Princess Amane asked.

"Unfortunately." Xaeron said.

"Long time no see my rival." Zed said and he put his glass on the counter and wonder why the book was flying.

The Book of Aragu came back to Frea when Xaeron walked towards Zed and the latter met her halfway.

"So you wanted another duel between rivals?" Zed asked.

"I did not came here to fight." Xaeron said.

Zed smirked and laughed afterwards. "What else could be the Master of Fire is doing in Aeronimbus? I'm sure you're not fooling around with those ladies. The Princess of Fylux was bound to marry you anyway."

That announcement made Xaeron stopped on her tracks, as for Frea she was surprised at what the hunter said.

"Do you not recognized Drale's daughter behind me?" Xaeron asked.

"Oh! She's the Princess of Fylux?! How convenient, you're already getting to know each other." Zed teased.

"Zed, let's talk about that in another time. For now, I have another important thing to talk with you." Xaeron was getting impatient.

If she was impatient, the hunter was very stubborn and doesn't listen to anyone.

"If you please, follow me so we could talk without anyone listening to this important conversation."
