Dragons and Cross-dressers – Chapter seventeen
A few miles away, three men waited by a very, very large wagon, which looked more like a house with several sets of wheels, drawn by dozen horses.
The youngest, Ravis, was shaking, though it was not known if it was out of fear or coldness, while feeding one of the horses a carrot.
The second oldest, Eduard, was reading a thick novel sitting beside the driver's seat.
The oldest man, Toris, was in the driver's seat on the lookout for the signal.
They had been waiting there for a long time.
Their master was a trader and had gone off on a mission to hunt another dragon. Apparently it was a special one this time.
Suddenly a green flash in the distance alerted the oldest.
"Ravis. Get in the back please." Toris grimaced when he saw how much Ravis's fear rose and shook nervously.
"O-o-okay…."
Eduard put his book down. "Do you want me to come with you?"
The young boy nodded relieved. The two headed to the back of the wagon, entering the wagon.
Once the two were safely inside, Toris snapped the reins so the houses started moving. They moved exceedingly quick, knowing that their master would not be happy if they were slow.
(A/N – See! Even the Baltic trio get a small chapter to themselves though this will probably be the extent of their appearances.
In case you are wondering about their history in this world, they all come from the North kingdom but different regions. All of their families were poor so they were sold for money williingly. The deal is that if they can pay off their families' debts then they can go free. Unfortunately Russia adds the cost of food and bedding to the debt so it is nearly endless. They are not sad about leaving their families (though they miss them), however they do not like Ivan.
Russia is a wealthy trader so travels from kingdom to kingdom and actually doesn't have a real house. He lives in a huge wagon that is more like a big bungalow with wheels. It's big enough to hold a dragon plus all the merchandise, the four people who live there and their kitchen etc.
See – Even the minor character had back stories in this. This is just how much I got into this. No wonder I couldn't keep it a one shot….
