The horse race 3They stood before me, eleven lords, with King Drox before me, they came to see the first lady to be joining their race. These twelve lords were the leaders appointed by King Drox to rule over places he had captured.Not all are important to mention except, Klaus the lord of Winter Falls, and Brent Lord of High garden. "We are here to make sure that you are doing the needful, we cannot let the first lady join in such an honorable event be a liability like her lord," Drox said and they all laughed.I felt bad that they referred to Darius as a liability, but I also agreed with them to an extent. I bowed immediately to show my respect for the king.King Drox then said, "well, if you want to participate in this event you would have to pay with 100 gold coins, Darius always gets a free pass since you are my friend but I am not sure you will."I then bowed my head and he came closer and said, "I would make sure both you and your master lose, believe me, you would make an ex

Community service 2I arrived at the village, and I could attest to the fact that these villagers had suffered tremendously at the hands of what they could call the Goblins, I felt truly sorry for them.And the rest of my team arrived and went to see the reigning village chief, he was nothing but a fool! He was not even aware of the details of the crisis in the village."Well, we have a few here and their Goblin crises but the village is handling it very well, we didn't ask the king for adventurers so why did he send you guys?"The swordsman name Julie then asked, "well chief, do you have a scale of the death per day from your village?"The archer who was a female named, Teresa then said, "it is evident from the records gathered by the scouts of the king that at least twenty souls are lost a week to the goblins! The population of your village is large so you may not have noticed it.""Huh? Are you telling me what is happening In

Lovers For LifeI quickly scurry out of there and hid in another place where they would find me. I kept on listening to their conversation.If I could affect the lives of these two personally I could get them to become loyal and wield a very large weapon against Darius.Then I started listening again, I was most touched by the part when Julie said, "let's get married secretly band run far away."That sounded so absurd, well I have heard of some communities that were formed through that means.Isabelle then said, "then we will be together, husband and wife, now and forever, lovers for life, we'll take me to heaven, take me tonight. There is nothing words can say, we are getting married!!!"Huh, what are these two planning? I could not believe my ears. I have to do my background work and research on them, was this mission a means to escape and run off?I thought adventurers had the ultimate freedom to go have adventur

HaktunI was led to the chief and there I saw Julie and Isabelle, it was more like they were waiting for me, Julie immediately stood up and grabbed hold of my hand, taking me to an inn.I woke up and turned around, I was receiving treatment for I have incurred many wounds, also the King of Westeros and Darius would begin to worry that we have not returned.Julie told me to take and get enough rest he said, "you might have a lot on your mind right now, but I want you doing just one thing now, resting and not thinking too much."Isabelle then walked in saying, "you are awake," she kissed me on the forehead, and with teary eyes, she held my hand and said, "thank you," softly.Julie held the other hand and thanked me also. I decided to follow their advice so I ate and drank the food I had been given and went back to sleep.As I have heard Haktun has a lot of good medicine men and portions so curing wounds are like children play to them, after about three days in Haktun I fully recovered.

Square 1I did not expect such a sudden reaction from Darius, he seemed to know about her, then he started riding his horse again.I was moved to ask, "Is everything okay? You seemed pretty shocked just hearing that name, or is it possible you two might have known somewhere?"He then smiled and said, "forget about it, you would be punished for your actions at the village." I knew he would do this I just had been waiting for the announcement and here it was.I began to slow down and keep my head low, he then said, "you would be going back to the dungeon under the command of Gord!""What!" I screamed that is the greatest punishment I can ever imagine in my life, Gord just had a way of making life as miserable as one could ever imagine.I felt it was like a gift, he was also known as one of the closest to prince Darius. He would torture the hell out of me so I needed to beg Darius as much as I can.I plead and plead but it was clear that he had no intention of changing his mind, I felt d
