"I am here to kill count Lucio." I said smiling evil to him. His smile immediately fades.
"What? Cat got your tongue? Is Lucio your friend? Well if it's so I have to kill you too"
Asra try's to find his words but it seems like he is struggling a lot.
"He's not a friend but his wife is so I can't let you kill him." He found his words and looked with a serious face to me.
My eyes widen. Lucio and a wife I feel sorry for her.
"Asra I am going to do to Lucio what he did to my partner. Do you really believe he is a good guy? The way he treats the people that still need to fight in the Colosseum. The animals and people that get sacrificed by his actions. Well I don't and you should neither. I can tell you are trying to give your best and help people. Even someone like me but if you helping count Lucio I am not willing to hold back on you."
I stand up realizing my leg is completely healed. "You did that, right?" I asked looking in the direction where I felt Asra standing.
"I did and I am not helping Lucio. Muri- Forget it. The main point here is that I am not supporting his actions and I don't want that too but I still can't you let killing him." He answered.
"If you say so then its an official goodbye now. You can't stop me Asra. Neither of you can." Amy jumped off the couch and turned hisself into a bigger lion. I put an invisible spell on him and sat on his back.
"Goodbye Asra"
After I said that I felt steps coming closer. He wanted to grab me but I was already gone. I couldn't even say goodbye to Muriel. I teleported myself to the Ash beach. I missed the forest.
I was looking around. Well dumb reaction when you can't see but I can hear and the noises that were made are from children. "Orphans?" I asked myself
I went down from Amy's back and felt the little children sitting on the ground. I stopped the invisible spell and walked towards the people I felt.
Amy stayed close and he would warn me when something happened. When I was near them I bent down and grabbed into my bag.
"Take that" I said grabbing out the bread I stole this morning from the bakery. I was a lot since I thought I will need that much but in the end I didn't used it.
"Eat." I said and I finally felt tiny hands on me. "Thank you" they whispered. As I felt someone big behind my back. I was ready for everything that might happen.
"Why are you here?" I heard this low familiar voice talking.
I turned around "Muri-" He closed my mouth with one of his big hands and put me closer to him.
After he realized what he just did he let go. "Don't say my name out loud" he said whispering
"Ou okay sorry.." I answered. He indeed was tall and he also has a lot of muscles. When he grabbed me I felt so tiny. He must be about 6'9ft or 6'10ft.
Muriel bent down on the ground and gave the Orphans water. After that he stand back up and left.
"Hey Mu- I mean. Where you going now."
"Home" he said.
Right. Muriel has his hut in the Forest. "Can I walk with you?" I asked. As he stopped and said: "No"
Of course he would say that it's Muriel after all. I sit back on Amy's back and he walked next to Muriel. "Why are you following me?" He asked
"You are walking into the same direction as I do. I need to go to the forest". I answered proudly.
"I see" was all he said until we returned into silence.
After some time Muriel actually started to talk. "You left Asra, are you going to leave Vesuvia now?"
I smiled. Was he getting curious now? "Yes I am going to leave now. I have work to do."
"..." he remains in silent.
"What are you going to do now?" I asked him.
"Staying in the hut"
What a lame answer. Isn't he going on adventures. Well no Muriel does not seem like the type of person who do that. "Wanna help me?" I asked even tho I know the answer already.
"With what?" He asked.
"I wanna end Count Lucio's life. Like he did with my partner "
"..."
No response. Of course he wouldn't. His aura darkened and Amy felt it. "What is wrong?" I asked touching him by his arm.
He pulled his arm immediately away. "Don't" he said.
Did I hit a weak spot? "Sorry. I just thought.."
We reached the forest. "I'll be going now. Goodbye Muriel"
Amy got the message and turns to the other side. Muriel said nothing he kept quiet. We were on the way to nowhere. Since that day I refuse to go back but I really don't know where to stay.
"Amy stay. We gonna be here today." I felt the magic in the forest so it should be safe. Amy sit down and I pulled a magic spell over us. So it should keep us safe.
My tummy growls. I was hungry so as Amy. The bread I stole had the kids. "We gonna Look our for food tomorrow. We did something good. So let's wait okay?" He snuggles to me and rests his head on my lap.
I put my hand on the ground "Listen Luka. I am doing fine. I did good things today. There is someone nice but I don't really know what makes him nice. He's quite quiet, does not really talk much. His name is muriel. But he is still nice. There is also a magician I met one but he uses regular magic. He won't be any help also he protects Count Lucio. Asra is his name the way we met first was really awkward since I stole magic stones from him. How are you doing down there? Is Akim with you? I wish I could hug you one more time but I guess it will be only possible when I come down to you."
I sighed. Does he listen to my messages? I hope he's doing fine. I started to feel steps moving closer and I felt light. A wolf..
"Why are you out there?"
I looked up and the familiar voice told me it's Muriel. I smiled. "Did you missed me?" I said in a teasing tone.
He sighed. "I regret coming here"
Rude but he's here why? "Why did you come after us?" I asked.
"Because Inanna told me."
Right I felt the wolf's presence. I smiled. "So does that mean you take me with you?" I asked.
He turned around. "Just because Inanna want it like that"
