Armelia: Chapter 16

Shadow-Stal remained quiet for the ride, and it seemed his ability to speak was more or less a one off thing, which meant the wide journey we’d had to take to avoid being seen had been pretty boring.

“So,” I said tiredly, “you still wanna move in?”

Gerry stayed silent for a few seconds, then piped up with a concerned “Are you sure you want to talk about real world stuff?”

I chuckled and gave a shrug, “I’ve only a short amount of time before you have to bugger off again, and we won’t exactly be able to have a phone call.”

“We can text though. I did reply, promise, but I guess you jumped straight into this. Which is fine by the way, I promise, but, if you’re happy to break character, congratulations on the interview! I’m so proud of you.”

I smiled and made a very lame face that I thanked the Gods Gerry couldn’t see, “Thank you. Doesn’t answer the question though.”

“Always quick to shift off praise, huh?” Gerry laughed, “Fine, but I get to do a big congratulatory thing when I get home.”

I liked the way he said ‘home’, made it all seem so much more real, “I don’t think you could go down on me for anywhere near long enough with the amount of time we’ll have ‘til the guys come to pick me up.”

Gerry scoffed and undoubtedly rolled his eyes, “Glad to hear you’re getting back to your old, perverted self. And no, I meant like a cake or something you weirdo. And yes, of course I’m sure I still want to move in. Half the reason I started dating you was to get into that place.”

“Ha, sure thing, it had nothing to do with getting into my pants.” I said, deflecting from how much I wanted to giggle with joy that he hadn’t changed his mind about moving in, “Anyway, let’s focus, we’re almost at the fort.”

The Hidden Fort discovered.

Journal entry made.

The closer we got to the fort, the more my skin crawled, wherever we were was not meant for druids. We dismounted close to the rear of the fort, a place that was drenched even more in shadow than the rest, and left Shadow-Stal to wait by the wall, something that he grumbled and groaned about.

As we made our way around the wall we discovered that, as expected, there was a back way, some kind of secondary gate that appeared to be for traders and the like to pass through with ease.

A single guard stood posted by it, a hefty creature that appeared to be made of darkness covered in thick armour that could just as easily kill a man as the mighty axe he held.

“You think we can take him?” Gerry asked hopefully.

I thought on it a moment and then gave him an unsure look, “I’ve got my sword and bow, and I’m sure the blood sigils like Heavenly smite and Ky-Len’s heal would be just as effective here, but at the same time I don’t think wasting our time on one guard is a great idea.
