Chapter 109: Elisa coming up, part 1 r18
Aric, Ariel, Elisa and Pentharis took a walk through the streets of the town, the town was pretty neat and calm. Besides the fact that they now knew that the Baron was a shithead that extorted from the people, they didn’t see anything majorly wrong with the town.
They walked aimlessly for a few hours, not speaking to anyone, or doing anything, just looking at the sights until the sun began to say goodbye to the town, darkness soon started encroaching.
"We should head back now," Ariel said. They all agreed and decided to head back to the inn, but they were interrupted as a group of five men came out of the alleys and stood in front of them.
Each of the men was well-built, tall with broad shoulders that pressed against the fabric of their clothes. Their eyes shined with a sinister light, their grins all the way to their ears.
Swords rested at their waists, dangling side to side as they moved. Aric and the group were forced to stop seeing these people.
"It’s pretty dangerous to be walking out at this time of day you know," the one at the center spoke, and from where he stood, Aric was assaulted by a smell of alcohol somehow mixed with onion and garlic.
Aric subconsciously took a step back with a frown, that smell was supposed to be a weapon, his eyes watered from it.
"The sun just went over the horizon, and you are already here to steal, why don’t you get a job or something. You aren’t the only ones suffering in the town after all," Aric spoke, his tone dropped with disdain, he sized the man up from head to toe.
The man was furious after seeing the way Aric spoke to him, he stepped closer and leaned in close to Aric, he opened his mouth to say something and immediately Aric lost it, as the smell from the man’s mouth traveled out and hit Aric again.
"For fuck’s sake, step away from me," Aric said, filled with irritation and anger, he threw an earth-coated punch that slammed into the face of the man, sending him flying into the arms of his followers.
