Part 14 "The kid"

I jumped out off my seat when i saw Mordred....and she was holding hands with a kid

Vorgen: "What the fuck......?"

Mordred: ".............."

Looking down, i saw..... the creature...
A 8 year old looking kid, in blue tunic and black pants.

Vorgen: "So.... Who's the father?"

Mordred: "It's not my kid, you ass"

???: "Momma *Sobs* ....... UWAAAAA
Where's my mommaaa?!!"

Vorgen: "Ugh.... I don't like kids"

Modred: "Hey it's alright kid, we'll find your mother"

???: "Really?"

Vorgen: "rEalLy?"

Modred: "Real Mature, Galahad "

Vorgen: "I was joking, damn...."

I then kneeled before him and said to his face

Vorgen: "Listen here, little one. We will help you find your mother okay!
So Stop crying! Now what's your name?!"

???: "A-Alcandros" *Sobs*

Vorgen: "Alright, Alcandros. Do you remember where your home is?

Alcandros: " Yes...."

Vorgen: "Then what are you crying for?"

Alcandros: "Bu-But i got separated from Mommy and big sis. A-And there are many scary strangers"

Vorgen: "Well do i look scary to you?"

Alcandros: "Very..."

Vorgen: "Wow that hurt... But you just talked to a scary stranger, You're a brave boy! Be proud!! We are going to get you home"

Lifting the kid up i then put him on a piggyback ride on my shoulders. The kid stopped crying and looked happy and amazed.

Alcandros: "It's so high up here!!"

Vorgen: "It's like a whole new
world Eh?"

Alcandros: "Yeah!!"

Vorgen: "Drink a lot of milk, kid! And one day you'll be able to see this everyday when you grow up"

Mordred: "I.... did not expect that"

Vorgen: "Expect what?"

Mordred: "Nothing..."

The boy gave us directions. First we go through the Market.
Walking through the market, it's filled with people. But thanks to my tall body i got a higher line of vision, this was no big deal.

Damn i love being tall!! .... I can look down upon all these.... Peasants.......

Vorgen: "Hm? *Sniff* *Sniff* Sweet mother of god... Meat... Meat on a stick"

A stand was selling roasted meat on a stick, the smell invaded my nostrils resulting in me drooling, almost making my bandages wet. As if the smell was pulling my nose it led me to the Stand.

An old man was roasting the meat on a spit. He looked hella old.

Vorgen: "Hey, Old man..."

Old guy: "Ah a costumer! How can i-"

Looking up to see my face, he was overshadowed by my tall frame.
The old man looked at me with fear, like seeing death itself

Old guy: "W....wh...wha... GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!! YOU..YOU REAPER!! IT'S NOT GRANDMA'S TIME YET!!"
