Lost Blood [Remake]

Chapter 17: Cold Tone From A Cold Wife.

This has been the journey so far...

A glorious battle has ended! Perhaps legends shall spread... But for now, a loving wife must scold the husband while the Grim Reaper, enjoys his small rest.

-Crow Father.

Miranda: KABROK!!!

(y/n): Hehehe... Poor old man.

Above the mountains and below the dark clouds, you sat on the ground, watching Kabrok get shouted at by his wife, Miranda. You watched with a simple smile before hearing rushing sties heading your way.

???: That was cool!

(y/n): Hmm?

Turning your head, you spotted Yugo and the rest of the gang. Yugo was the first to rush towards you with an excited smile before Amalia came along with a completely different look.

Amalia: Are you ok? Are you hurt?

You gently waved with a calm smile before speaking.

(y/n): I'm alright, just enjoying myself here. When did you guys get here? Actually, scratch that... How did you know where to find me?

You asked, curious as to how they found you on this specific mountain.

Evangelyne: Well a nasty storm was hovering over this mountain is he guessed.

(y/n): Ah... Makes sense.

You simply pushed yourself off the ground, dusting yourself clean before yawning...

(y/n): Lovely... Now all I want is a place to sleep... And eat...

You crossed your arms... Closing your eyes as you begin to hope a small village is near... However you hear a set of footsteps stop in front of you. Opening your eyes, you and the gang sees Miranda and Kabrok stand before you as Kabrok looked slightly miserable.

Miranda: Well... I suppose a deal is a deal. You stopped the Black Raven or in this case... My husband.

She said, glaring at Kabrok from the corner of her eyes you simply chuckled. Miranda then reached behind her before handing out the Map that the Gang were interested before.

Miranda: Here is the map I promised you'd have.

(y/n): Thank you, and... Be easy on your husband, alright? I'm sure he has his reasons.

You accepted the Map from Miranda's hands before Miranda herself replied.

Miranda: If his reasons are acceptable.

(y/n): Hehe alright... I suppose this is where we part ways, old man.

Kabrok: Quite so. Please do visit my shop whenever you can, friend.

You kindly nodded, turning around and walked away from the couple as the gang followed behind as Yugo walked beside you.

Yugo: You sure you're ok?

(y/n): I'm fine, little one. It's going to take more than a small fight to take me down.

You replied to Yugo before the six of you soon left the couple's view... Leaving the two alone on top of the mountain.

[Timeskip with (y/n) relaxing in an abandoned bar, surrounded by decade skeleton as he enjoys the simple silence.]

Percedel: Alright Map, show us Oma Island! And make it quick, thanks!

Map: Mmmmmm no!

Yugo: Remember what Miranda said.

Percedel: Oh, right. Uhm... Oh beautiful map, show me a Oma Island, and make it quick... Please? Thank you!

Map: No!

Evangelyne: You're really bad at this, are you?

On the road... You, Yugo and the gang continued walking together while Percedel held the talking Map... Trying to ask it for direction, only for it to decline.

(y/n): I don't think being nice to it is necessary.

Yugo: What do you mean?

(y/n): Watch.

You looked over your shoulder, slowing down a but before being in the same pace as Percedel and snagged the Map from his hands and gave it a look.

Map: If you think pecan convince me to show you the way, good lu-

(y/n): I'll bloody burn you alive if you become a god damn problem, trash.

...

...

...

Map: What...?

Suddenly, your hands began to heat up, burning the map in your hands as it panics.

Map: AHH OK OK OK I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE TO GO!!!

(y/n): Good.

You calmed the flames and lend the Map back to Percedel, the Maps is warm in his palm while you continue to march forward and spoke.

(y/n): Lets pick up the pace a little. I want to find a village to sleep and fill my stomach.

As you walked passed Amalia and Evangelyne, Amalia couldn't help but squeal a bit before speaking.

Amalia: Oooh he's giving me shivers! Hehehe~

Evangelyne: Whatever.

Evangelyne replied, unimpressed as everyone continued their journey, soon everything fades to black.

And the title "Wakfu" appeared as the title is untouched and silence fills the air.
