Dark and Light part 4: Super Weird Companion
It's about a week since I traveled with Neo and Aldrizzt. I began to know why they haven't got any other person as their companion. It's not because Aldrizzt is a dark elf. Neo is the problem. He makes anything become much more dangerous (or his version of "challenging").
Six days ago, we got an "easy" task to steal a harpy egg. To add the difficulty, Neo, the one who should know well about the surface for thirty years or so, doesn't have a sense of direction. We end up at the plain rather than the mountain. In the end, Aldrizzt uses a compass and a map that he saves for "emergency situation that always happened."
There, at the mountain peak, we found the egg. Just before we take it, I don't know we were lucky enough to meet a harpy. She got mad and started attacking us. Aldrizzt is run out of mana because of Spell of Flight he uses to brought us here. He needs some time to use his magic again. Fortunately, Neo alone is capable enough to face the harpy. He jumped and slash it right leg and she manage to fly away.
Not long after that Neo yelled, "Come back here, you coward!" The harpy came back again with two other. Yes you right, there are three of them.
Neo slashed the first harpy again and she fell to the ground. Aldrizzt uses his dark wind-like magic to the other one and succeed to bring her down. When Neo try to finish the first harpy, I saw the last harpy nuked at him. I quickly raise my right hand.
"Finger of Death!"
The harpy suddenly stopped and enveloped by thick darkness cloud. Nothing can be seen there because of the thick cloud. Then the clouds disappear along with the harpy.
"I haven't seen anything like that." Aldrizzt seems amazed at the view.
"Wow, pretty neat!" said Neo, "What's it called anyway?"
"It's called Soul Eater." I dropped my hand, "You don't want to know why it named that way."
Neo raised his eyebrow. I think he's curious, but Aldrizzt stopped him and said, "Alright, now go grab that egg, Neo."
So we spent five days to finish the task. In a detailed explanation, we spent three days for searching the mountain, one day to retreive the egg, and one day to come back.
"We made a great team!" exclaimed Neo, "How about we named it Dark Human Elf Soul Squad?"
"You have a bad name sense, Neo."
That is the story about three days ago. Now we were in a village not far from the aforementioned mountain, at the tavern.
They were drink fiends. Especially the being called Neo...
They ordered one and a half dozen of liquor.
One dozen for Neo and half a dozen for Aldrizzt.
"Sure you don't wanna to drink, Tir?" ask Neo.
"I think he still underage, Neo." Aldrizzt glare at him. I kinda remember what Gremio said to me when I want to try my father's drink before.
"No way!" said Neo, "How old are you, Tir?"
"Sixteen," I answered him.
"But you said you never get older.." Neo look at Aldrizzt, "Maybe his age is already above you, Aldrizzt!"
"I don't think so." Aldrizzt scrutinizes me.
"Umm... I think it's about three years after I got this power.."
"Nineteen then." said Neo, "It's a legal age to drink, you now."
"You want to drink, Tir?" Aldrizzt offered a liquor bottle to me.
"No thanks, I rather not." I kind of see Gremio face show up, I think I start to miss his nagging.
"You lost to my student, he's drinking wine like water when he's twelve."
"That's because of your doing, Neo. I don't think anyone can be your student if it isn't Grisia."
They still arguing while drinking liquor with the speed of one bottle per minute. But I'm still curious..
"By the way, how old are you, Aldrizzt?" I asked out of curiosity.
"One hundred and thirty six this year."
to be continued...
Next, we'll see how Riou doing after being teleported.
