Prologue VII
Once again, the knight's eyes cracked open to see the two lights presented before him. Something was off, though, and Davion easily saw it. The dim and familiar orange glow has become much larger than before, its energies becoming even more captivating to the knight. The other light, however, seems to have dwindled in size, somewhat, as if overshadowed in importance and strength by the other. Both lights still shine out, drawing him closer to their power. Even though his options' strengths – and therefore their sizes – varied since the last encounter, he still felt he was getting closer, ever since then, and the aura the two lights radiated prove that, teasing him with their promises.
Another early morning spent getting ready for the rest of the day was held, and then, both the dragon hunter and his pet were prepared for what was to come. Davion goes back down the flight of stairs leading to the entrance of the inn, but the innkeeper was not behind his counter. Regardless, the man left without giving his farewells, eager to look for his new quarry.
Another few hours were spent on the search in all of Farraige, be it the peaceful residential area filled with children playing their games, the winding bazaar in all its chaotic nature, or the lively harbor, filled with businessmen and sailors, all of which are playing a part to unload their cargo while the birds around them looked for an opportunity to feed themselves. Even though the knight was determined, it did nothing, as no one has the resemblance of the horseman, and none have even seen the man. Finally dejected from the fruitless effort, the knight gives up, going back to the harbor to gain passage to the mainlands in the east of this island.
By then it was already noon, so the sun watched over all, being the centerpiece in the sky that has an entourage of clouds beside it, blinding it every so often. Davion has bought the means to get out, but it doesn't leave until a few more hours. What better way to waste the time than to get a drink or look for some supplies for the trip? He slinks into the crowded market, and being taller than most, he could get a proper look at the deals some of the stalls were providing, such as fish being bought at half price, or cloth at twenty percent off the absurd price tag. He eventually stumbled to the sundries store. General goods varying from green medicinal salves, odd little enchanted bands, or something mundane, like packaged food could be found within here. Davion is greeted by an exuberant young lady with light blue hair, and she gestures to the sign beside her. It appears that they were having a sale, as well, most of everything is half off, and any traveler worth their salt sees this as a god-send, so Davion cracks a small grin at his fortune.
He leaves the place with plenty of food in hand, placing it on the mule. He even bought a few handy filled with a viscous green fluid that flowed as slow as honey. Pretty thick stuff. He goes to the tavern to finish off what few hours he has left until he leaves.
Yet another few more hours pass by, and the knight drank little to keep himself alert enough to know when to leave, but buzzed enough to at least enjoy himself. He trudges along back to harbor through the market and finds that most a lot of other people – especially merchants – were getting on the ride with him on this ferry. Davion finds a comfortable little spot beneath the decks with his mule and waited there. The ships sails unfurled, and they were all well on their way to their destination.
A.A.N.
A bit of short one, it seems, sorry. The prologue ends at IX or X, so expect this segment of the story to end, soon. Also, the other fic for this game will be coming sooner than the rest of the other things. Speaking of which...
Alright, so I said there would be other things I will be making. So far the list includes Dragon's Dogma, Fallout, TF2, and perhaps a few original ideas. The list still isn't complete.
The original ideas will (eventually) be held in this website's sister site: Fictionpress. That place allows original content to made, so check the place out if you'd like something different from other aspiring authors.
