Ancient times ( Book 1)- Blood Vengeance

Chapter 8~ The road to welzynn

All members of the northern men who will be participating in the tournament stood outside of the inn with all their bags including Drew, preparing for their travel on sea to welzynn.

The Queen of Deverous walked in through the gate inn caught in everyone off guard, they all left everything they were doing and bend a knee to welcome her.
She was alone without any royal guard which somehow surprised Drew but he didn't say anything. She noticed the man with no wrist as she told them to stand.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

"That fucker cut my arm off because of some girl! My Queen" he yells pointing at Drew.

Drew kept quiet.

The Queen glance at him and recognized him from the meeting at Riccon.

" Want to explain yourself" she said.

" He injured the female innkeeper because she chose not to fuck him and I gave him what he deserve" Drew replies not taking his eyes off the Queen.

" He's fucking lying!" The man yelled.

Miri the Queen turns sharply. "He's not lying I would have known but you are. You are evicted from the tournament, go home to your family"

" But.." the man was cut off.

" You are lucky all he took away was one wrist. You would have been breakfast tomorrow for my wolves for lying straight to my face! Now leave!"  She glared watching him run off.

She then turned back to the group, they were terrified except Drew. The man got what he deserve.

"The rest of you good luck and make the North proud!" She smiled at them, they praised her as she departed.

Drew grabbed his bag about to leave with the others when he's name was called, he turned. It was the female innkeeper.

" Thank you"

" Am just doing what's right" he says.

" No one does what is right anymore. I hope you win the tournament. The eight kingdoms needs someone like you to rule us" she implies. " Goodbye" she added before leaving not allowing Drew to say anything else.
He then left the inn.

It was three days before Drew's footsteps brought him to the welzynn's port city, pausing for only a minute to stare back at his country. He was now going to a stranger's land. He joined the others at the far edge of the harbor, he found a single weathered trading vessel with pennant of red and a yellow painted lion in the middle fluttering a top it midst. The colors for the country of welzynn.
He marched down the dock with them. The captain stood at the crest of gangplank as they shuttered cargo on board. Once everyone was on aboard the ship, it set sail on the high sea to welzynn.

               ********

It wasn't a new thing by now that Drew doesn't have a good time sleeping at night. Especially when you are on a stranger's boat, anyone could slit your throat while you are sleeping. Ever since he learnt of who he is, Drew's been cautious of himself.

So here he was sitting on the bed he shared with one of the recruits who happens to be snoring. He hated the fact that he had to leave his horse behind back at Deverous, the guard told him he won't be needing it.
The rest of the recruits were already asleep as well, the sound of the thunder clap doesn't seem to be disturbing them. There was no rain at the moment but it will certainly happen very soon. So he decided to go get some air. He stood up and grabbed his coat putting it on before walking slowly to the wooden staircase to climb outside. The wind was Blowing but not that heavy, he allowed it to sink in for the moment standing not close to the edge of the ship, gazing at the dark sky and water movement. Everything was calm.

" Wonderful isn't it"

He turns sharply to his side. It was the lady with the white hair and gown, the woman that kind of saved his life from the wild wolves back in Riccon forest.

" It's you! I didn't get your name last time" he says.

She glanced at him.

" My name is not important Drew Dalton. I told you we will meet again at the right point in time. Now is that point in time."

" What do you mean by now...why now?" He asked.

" Now because you know your history, who you are, where you came from and your destiny to destroy the Titan" she answered.

Drew raised an eyebrow.

" You know about the Titan and my destiny?" His eyes searched around to ensure no one was watching them.

" Don't worry no one can see us at the moment" she assures him."and yes I know everything about you right from childbirth, your father begged me to protect you until you are ready to face the Titan" she added.

" You knew my father"

" Yes"

" How was he like" Drew had so many questions about his father.

" A brave man who was willing to die for his people to end the great war. He has played his own part in the coming war, now it is your turn Drew Dalton" she confirmed.

" I know what I must do" he said as a thunder clap roared again in the sky, the wind getting heavier now but it didn't shake him at the moment.

" Do you?" She mentioned.

Of course he does. His uncle explained everything to him.

"Only the ones he knew not everything" she read his thought out.

" How do you know what I am thinking about?" He questioned.

" I told you before I know everything. I am the eyes and ears to the god of three.  Therefore I can do things beyond your capabilities" she explained.

" Sorcery"

" That and much more" she raised her right hand and everything at that moment seized to move, boat, water and the wind. Drew was impressed and confused at the same time.

" You have these gifts, why can't you and the gods stop the Titan"he implies.

She smiled.

" We all have a role to play, and that is your destiny set by the gods not mine. I can only see and direct you in the right path"

" What is my right path" Drew was getting tired now, his feet giving up on him and his eyes dizzy but he needed to know more from this strange woman.

" I can see you are anxious to know more but, you can't deny the body what it needs. I will leave you now but remember this, do not get distracted by the things of this world. I will be watching you Drew Dalton"

She began to fade away.

" No wait! I..." She was already gone and everything else came back to normal.

Immediately the rain began and Drew rushed back into the ship...
