As they leave the room Gora looks at her grandfather with puffed up cheeks and a slight pout on her face”grandfather i understand not wanting to help them but why in the world would you deny their gift that was a fabulous weapon i know you personally don’t like bdes but i could of used it you know?!?”
she says in a voice that rings with annoying disapproval Gora looks at her grandfather with much fury. Dyues sighs and shakes his head at his naive granddaughter”i hope i can live another 50 years as i don’t think you’ll be ready to be chief until then”
dyues says with a calm voice that bears no hostility and yet it cuts so deep regardless. Gora’s looks at her grandfather with an incredible amount of anger”what the hell did you say you shitty old man!”
Dyues ignores his granddaughters rude remarks and continues”the body of a sokaiadoan is a holy item gora those beast were seen as important members of a cn they’d live for 600 years my grandfathers dragon could be tracked back all the way to our earliest ancestors back when the beast were numerous many sokarans cns cim legitimacy from the beast there ancestors once rode by framing them in their homes and wearing fragments of them. While it is true i own a few blunt weapons with those materials i would never allow a blooded bde of my ancestors’ beast to be shown off in my nd. It goes not only against how i feel as a Kalos but as a sokaran it would be an insult to my ancestors to keep such a corrupted peace of our history”
He stands up indicating he has said all he has wanted say and heard all he cares to hear. Gora frowns and stands up herself and makes her way out of the room knowing there is no point in arguing with her grandfather his word is w after all.
Outside of the pace the small party of astrans start making their way onto their mounts the courtier unenthusiastically wraps the spear back up into its fine wrap. Cofus looks at rex with a worried look upon his face”Rex i have a bad feeling about these upcoming days. Do you think what dyues has said bears any weight to it?”
Rex sighs and looks back towards his young kinsmen the same thought had been on his mind.the grand chief was a remarkably respected person so the idea of telling them such a grand lie is unthinkable.”i do not know cofus but im sure no matter what happens in the coming days we will find out”
As rex, cofus and the courtier get on their mounts rex feels on sensation as he looks at the wrapped spear that he now knows his party is caring. he looks at the courtier and moves towards him”listen i don’t think its the greatest idea that you carry such a high value item”
He says in disclosed manor trying not to alert any one else about what the questionable wrapped item could be’’but my master has in trust me with-”the courier begins to speak but is interrupted by rex”and he has chosen well just fear for your safety. he most likely didn’t intend on you bringing it back to him and now that it has been revealed to a few people i fear that soon others may have its existence revealed to them too. Just for my peace of mind let me carry it that way you may not be targeted”
the courtier feels off about this but seeing as rex is a noble he isn’t in any real position to refuse his offer. He nods his head and hands over the secretly priceless item in the middle of the day. Cofus gets onto his rge lizard-like mount and looks at rex.”so what now sir? We will stay the night in this vilge or begin our journey home within the hour?”
Rex hops onto his mount as well after strapping the spear to his giant lizard like mount. He climbs on top of it and looks down at cofus with a grin”well be camping out in the wilderness tonight so well try to make as much progress as we can with what daylight we have”
The group nods and starts preparing to head out unaware of the eyes watching them.the locals from every corner would be staring them down. Rex had no intention of staying here it was clear these people were quite curious as to why they were here, and the st thing he needs is people asking questions.so within the hour they’re off. Riding their beast outside of the vilge by nightfall the vilge is just out of eyesight. With no daylight left the astrans start preparing their tents and fires getting ready for the night. Rex volunteering for the first watch admitting to not feeling at ease enough to fall asleep yet. So as his travel companions started resting their heads rex climbs on top of his six foot tall mount to get a better vantage point he ys down on his saddle preparing for the long watch. He keeps any out on the nd as he gets lost in thought. Though somewhere in the night he fell asleep only to be awoken of the sound of what sounds like a young boy screaming.
He darted up and started looking around”Cofus!”
he shouts out as looks down to see where a rustling sound was coming from. hoping off his beast and could not believe his eye as he saw Grigora Kalos granddaughter of the grand chief of the sokarans next in line for the title was pinned underneath the leg of rexes mount clinging to the spear in her hands. he gawked at her for a moment trying to process what in the world is going on. Cofus runs up holding a sword in his hands while wearing light cloth pajamas”you called for me sir?”rex disregards his oddly dressed companion for now and gestures toward gora
’’ it seems we have a thief” he says in amused tone watching the chieftess princess struggle to get out of the grasp of his war mount. Cofus confusedly nods and looks at her” i guess so. So you uh found her here like this?”
Cofus questions but before rex can speak gora does” are just gonna stand there all night gawking at me!?! tell this dammed beast to get off me astrou!”
rex sighs and nods his head signaling the beast to let her go. Gora quickly starts dusting herself off and stand up still with the spear in hand”there now that i have this i will be leaving”
she begins to turn around to run away but before she can dash away rex pces a strong hand on her shoulder while giving her a menacing look.” dy grigora im afraid we insist you stay until we figure out what has transpired.”
gora looks defeated and nods her head as rex and cofus begin to interrogate her”dy grigora i must say this is most unbefitting for a dy of your stature”
rex seems to spout out in a disappointing tone. Gora eye brows twitch at hearing this”what did you just say to me sir rex? Id watch your tone if i were you im not some unimportant official whose 25th in line for the stupid throne of an arrogant nation i am heiress to the grand chief of a proud and free people i have no obligation to act fit for YOU!”
Rex is taken aback by her bold ck of etiquette not even the men of his society would speak so boldly to another noble. Use to dealing with passive aggressive posh nobles he feels cking enough experience to handle this situation.rex coughs into his closed fist and begins to speak again as cofus just sits there quietly.”um yes im sorry my madam i should of taken your higher position in your society into consideration.”
Gora exhales through her nostrils seeming content for now with his answer”so are we done here or shall i amuse myself for a little longer?”
Cofus tries his best to stifle a chuckle. The normal calm well headed rex seems to be off bance unsure how to handle someone who disregards him so much. He felt as if he was once again a student back at the academy getting drilled in by his unenthusiastic professor.”well then let me just cut to the chase then why were you attempting to steal a gift your grandfather refused?”
This question only seemed to annoy her further”my grandfather while highly respectable; in his old age is going senile. there is no way i could let you astrou take back such a rare weapon made entirely out of our most sacred beasts. I do not care about my grandfathers feeling. to let you have this weapon would only bring my family more shame. I will redeem this bde myself if i have to!”
Rex eyes sparkled at hearing that now seeing a little crack into her mind”and how would you do that miss your grandfather seemed very sincere about the the corruption of the beasts legacy what could you do to avenge your 3rd great grandfather and his beloved mount who were killed by the invaders of the north that we now face? Who they used it to sughter the innocent?”
rex asks enthusiastically. Gora looks at him and stands up unwrapping the spear. Looking at the bde of the spear it was a brilliant sky blue that almost looked liked steel. it was connected to a poll of harden scales that seem to be melted together the pattern of the scales spiral down the beautiful staff. It was abit heavy for a throwing spear but would still do fine.”this weapon can not enter your peoples hands i wont allow it. so in order to make sure this national treasure is returned to my home i shall assist you in your war in hope my good deed will redeem my ancestors beast and in the process prove to not only my grandfather that im a worthy successor of our cns legacy but to install faith in all of the cns of my people.”
The air thickens with her words her voice held no doubt in it and no fear before them lies a warrior willing to risk her life for the sake of her family’s legacy and to more importantly form her own path in minds of her people.rex nods and bows his head to the young woman.”we’d be honored to have you dy grigora i look forward to fighting along side you”
rex voice seems to have lighten. Gora smiles”first thing tomorrow i shall alert my grandfather of my decision!”.
