Chaotic Changing life
Chapter 3: Starting the M'arrillian search
Kiru City
Tom ports himself in Kiru city fast. Just after he sees Remi, he has to find out about Gal'Drad. He knows the Overworlder are searching for him and they want him dead or alive. Tom wants to know what Gal'Drad has done with more detail so he can talk about this to Remi and maybe convince him to tell the Overworld where he is. Tom has watch Remi and he knows he was lying. Tom knows he hasn't just crossing the path of the M'arrillian. He walks in the town and he stops for a few seconds. He looks at the statue of Tangath Toborn made at the memory of him...Who sacrifice his life so the lands will not be under water. He then continues until he reaches the castle. 2 guards look at him and they recognise him. Most of the guard of the city knows about Tom and his friendship with Maxxor.
"What is the purpose of your presence here tom?" Asks the guard.
"I want to speak to Maxxor. I am a friend of him. The name is Tom." He answers.
The 2 guards look at each other's.
"You can enter." Says the guard. "Maxxor is busy at the main room."
Tom nods and enters in the castle and he walks at the direction of the main room. He passes in front of the guards in the castle and reaches the main room. He sees Maxxor in the room with a few soldiers looking at the map of the Overworld. They seem to be frustrated. Tom recognises Maxxor who is asking to one of the soldier to calm down. The one who is losing patience is Viqtarr.
Viqtarr is a bipedal bear wearing an eye patch over his left eye. He has brown fur covering his big and muscular body. He has some part of his fur white. He wears a necklace with a purple stone. He also wears a short of pale brown color. He wears red gloves and also red boots at his feet. He is someone who is always usually angry and not in good mood. Tom stops at the entrance and stays there. If one of them notices him, they will know he didn't try to hide.
He wasn't alone with Maxxor. Attacat and, on a crystal use for communication, Mezzmarr was there too.
Attacat is a black panther-like warrior, and he moves with the same grace as a prowling tiger. His body is strong and covered with fine gray fur. He only wears sparse armor. He has a gray tiger tail on his back. He is only wearing a green used loincloth.
Mezzmarr is an aquatic creature resembling a part-ell merman. He has a blue body. His chest and abdomen shows that he is a strong creature. He wears a silver armor with gold part to his arms and the top of his chest, arms and at his waist. On his head is a silver helm. He has a blue fin at the top of his head, his back and his knee.
"How haven't we found this M'arrillian already?!" Shouts Viqtarr. "He was gravely injured and he should have been easy to find!"
"Calm down Viqtarr. There must be a reason we haven't found him yet." Says Maxxor.
"He's been here for a long time! How long are we going to take to find him?! If he manages to return to the Deep mine or captured by any other tribe...They will know some of the secret passage in the city!" Shouts Viqtarr.
"Maxxor...For once I agree with him. If any tribes find out about it...They can enter in the city without any detection." Says Attacat.
"I can confirm he didn't try to escape in the water...He has try to use the passage once but I stop him and injure him." Says Mezzmarr. "...Look like you have a visitor Maxxor." He says with a small smile.
Tom enters in the room, now that they have stop talking and looks at him.
"Tom...What are you doing here?" Asks Maxxor.
"Eavesdropping?!" Asks Viqtarr looking at Tom.
"Not really. I didn't want to disturb you." Says Tom.
"He wasn't even trying to hide." Comments Mezzmarr.
Viqtarr humph but he doesn't do anything else.
"I come here to talk about something important...And I think I enter when you were on that subject." Says Tom.
"You mean you know where the M'arrillian is?" Asks Attacat.
"Sadly...No." Says Tom.
"Then why did you come here if you do not know of the location of the M'arrillian." Shouts Viqtarr.
"You may know a few tips about it." Says Maxxor.
"Yeah. I've fight a Chaotic player in a match...He used the creatures named Gal'Drad." Says Tom.
They all look at him seriously.
"Is he the one you were talking about?" Asks Tom.
"Yes...So a Chaotic player uses him." Says Maxxor. "You wouldn't have come here if you haven't notice something strange or out of place."
"True...He didn't have the ability to control my mind during the match...So I can only guess he obtains it after the war...And I know he's also a recent player...So I think he doesn't know about them." Says Tom.
"So what?" Asks Viqtarr.
"If the human doesn't know they are dangerous...He can be easily manipulate and use to their average...Or his in this situation." Says Attacat.
"What will happen if he doesn't need him?" Asks Tom.
"Since they can't control his mind...They might kill him." Says Maxxor.
Tom looks at his favorite creatures and he knows he has to find a way to warn VictorR.
"I do not know if he actually helps him. He only tells me that he just passes near the creature and scan him...But he says it a little quick so I guess he is lying." Says Tom.
"Then he is by his side." Says Viqtarr.
"Not necessarily. If he ignores the danger of the M'arrillian...He may just be someone kind enough to help him." Says Mezzmarr. "After all, you also help me Tom when you knew you will only get killed."
"I...I just act and didn't think." Says Tom. "But I don't know him enough to tell if he is a nice guy or not...But he appears to be a nice one."
"What's his name? We might want to talk to him." Says Maxxor.
"His name is Remi...When I see him...I think I'll ask him to come." Says Tom.
"He must surely know where the M'arrillian is hiding!" Shouts Viqtarr.
"Or where he was before he moves away...At the very least we will find his trace." Says Attacat.
"What did this M'arrillian do?" Asks Tom. "And do you know who he is?"
"We do not know a lot about him...We only know he is a M'arrillian who can kill his enemy without mercy and hesitation. I guess he can kill on demand and if he is standing in his way...In other word...A cold killer." Says Maxxor.
"What we know is that he obtains lots of information and secrets about Kiru city that we share with no tribe. Only few soldiers even know about the existence of a few...secrets." Says Attacat.
"And I supposed you know about it...I've heard you telling about the secret passage of the city." Says Tom.
"So you hear that part!" Says Viqtarr moving closer. "Then let me warn you not to even try finding it."
"That is not my intension." Replies Tom looking in the eye of Viqtarr, even if he is afraid in the inside.
"Good." Says Viqtarr.
"He may have followed one of us for a while without any of us noticing it." Says Maxxor. "He knows how to enter secretly in the city and having great average against us if he shares that information during the invasion of Kiru city...We find him out a few days after our victory and he shouts surprise when he sees us pointing our weapons at him."
"Guess he was expecting the battle to end for the victory of his tribe and drops his guard at that moment...But we didn't take the initiative and he runs away." Says Attacat.
"We pursuit him and he kills some of our soldiers." Says Viqtarr. "He also killed one very recently and he ran away. Since then, we haven't found any trace of him."
"We are discussing about some part of the Overworld where he can be. They are some spot where it is not known by anyone." Says Maxxor.
"Maybe I can ask him to show him location deck. He may have one of them if he knows the M'arrillian." Says Tom.
"It is better not...If you do it...He may get suspicious and warns him to move away if he believes he is friendly." Says Maxxor.
"So...What do you want me to do?" Asks Tom.
"Maybe you can duel against him...He may eventually use some location we may overlook." Says Maxxor.
"Chaotic player tend to find thing they shouldn't." Says Viqtarr.
"I'll try." Says Tom walking away and waving them when Maxxor gives him a silent sign that he should go.
"Alright...There are a few locations we have to try first." Says Maxxor. "I've already send 2 more groups. We have lost enough time and we have to strength our research. You will observe where he disappears and maybe find some small trace of the direction he has taken...It is only a few days and you have the talent to find it."
"Of course Maxxor. We will find him and crush him!" Says Viqtarr.
"Mezzmarr...I want you to watch from the water. Since Gal'Drad is a liquid creatures...He will surely stands near a lake or a river where he can escape easily." Says Maxxor.
"Understood." Says Mezzmarr cutting the communication.
Viqtarr and Attacat walk away.
"It will only be a matter of time." Says Maxxor.
AC: Seems like Gal'Drad has done more than first guess. He says that he obtain information and got caught when he was sure they have win. It is not a total lie.
