Chapter two: raiding day
The next day both Dexter and Jin were near the bridge that lead into the village, but its citizens were making there way up a lot of stairs that led up to the jade palace. Until there were no one left, that's when the duo made there way in. Dexter was pulling a big cart, leaving it right outside a noodle shop. After he checked if it was empty, it was and he took some yuan that was laying around for whatever reason.
"okay Jin, we'll spilt up and grab as much loot as we can. You Got it?" Dexter said.
The she-wolf nodded, " yeah, its not like learning Kung Fu." She retorted.
"good, lets get going."
The two run off in different directions, going into stores, stalls, and homes. Grabbing whatever loot they can get there hands or paws on. Dexter was surprised that he found some weird things in somebodies drawer, he didn't judge actually he left those alone. Stealing a jaded cup from the twenty-th home he been to, he made his way back to the cart now it was half-way full. He tossed the cup in and waited for Jin.
Jin on the other hand was having the time of her life, she found some wine and a sack of Yuan hidden in a cheap vase at the eighth home. The she-wolf was surprised that she would find that much in one vase, but now that she had what she stole Jin made her way back to the cart. Then she ran into a goose. They both stared at each other, until the goose man started to ran away screaming. With a groan she chased after him, with the bottle of wine still held in her paws.
Dexter looked up when he saw a screaming goose and Jin running towards him. The goose man stopped when he saw Dexter holding his glaive out, then he fainted.
"well there goes the 'leave without being seen' " Dexter said, shaking his head.
"sorry, he just came out of nowhere and I had my hands full," she said, holding out the bottle of wine. "so, do we kill him?"
Dexter thought about it then said, " no, everyone will be to busy talking about the 'dragon warrior' to listen to a old goose, at least for a while." He grabbed the cart and pulled, " lets go, I don't want to deal with him when he awakes up."
She nodded and helped pushed the cart, waiting to drink the wine she got. As they crossed the bridge, Dexter looked back out of instinct and saw a great ball of fire shot down from the sky and right into the jade palace.
"did you see that?" he asked Jin.
"see what?" Jin examined where Dexter was looking at. But saw nothing.
" a great ball of fire fell from the sky, and landed near the jade palace," Dexter said, pointing towards where he saw it. " well it was there."
"sure, lets get going." Jin said, not really believing what he said. In fact she was going to check if he has a fever.
As they entered the bamboo forest, they encountered a rather weird lion. Saying that he is a treasure hunter or something. But luckily he didn't pry into their business, and he left. Going back home, the duo counted their loot with a total yuan worth of; 2,500 plus 800 yuan from safes and hiding places.
Not bad For their first raid.
"am fine, get that cursed bottle out of my face!" Dexter shouted, as Jin was holding a small green bottle.
"come on, are you afraid of some medicine?"
"no, just what whatever you mix together." He retorted.
"look, either take it willing, or am going to force it down your throat," she warned.
"fine, give me the damn bottle!" he said after a moments thought. Taking the green bottle and drained its contents, he shuddered as the disgusting liquid slid down his throat.
"see it wasn't that bad."
He then fell on his face, knocked out.
"so close, oh well" she said taking him to his cot. Then she laid in hers. Wondering what were they going to do tomorrow. Probably rob more travelers, and hopefully get some fresh flesh, the pig meat they gutted yesterday was getting low. The thought of more meat tomorrow made her moth water, she soon fell asleep
A\N: yay another one, shorter then the last but honestly I couldn't think of any more to write. So I left it there before I write something stupid…well see you next chapter.
