Olwan did not want to help Peacock but now she is. Pushing against a Nautriarch with the same draconic scaled hands before grunting and fully sending the Nautriarch back and against his tail. “There” She pants, turning to Peacock, “Consider this even for the ride ye gave.”

“Synwyn…” Grunts the oversized of lizard and a lantern fish, “I didn’t think you’d come back.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkxHeST8d
“Yer right about that Geardweli. I never meant to show min face to ye lot.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2Hzt4kD1
“Haha, and this explains the number of our siblings at Gestel plains. Why? Do you wish to open up the borders? Let them in?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGcW5UtYyZ
“Exactly my intention.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHWj64h4c
“Ah…and let the undead stench our Módbeorg? I assume you did not expect these events. At all. But, even so, you are still hiding something. Tell me what you want and then I’ll let you go.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEGH4pwDW
“After ye tried to kill my friend? No, there is no more room for talk especially when all I see in yer eyes is violence.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTwGmNiJSG
“Violence!? Oh ye jest—”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gg7fXi2si
“Alongadol met death many times and always manage to win over it. But now, what happened?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd82fjdkGa
“He met a different kind of death. Killed him in an instant.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNqT6GX44A
“But his roots are intact. I checked,”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRC8On3HqS
“And it still wrung him dry of oxygen. Hence, it is a different kind of death, that we do not know of. All probably because of that bird you are protecting. He is afterall a spawn of that beast.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1qD5XhbJo
Peacock frantically looks around at the Nautrens all staring at him. Keeping himself close to Olwan and praying, “Dear gods, please come already--Isaac, Amerie…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuyBpJqjb8
“Calm down Peacock, keep an open eye and let me know if ye feel something approaching.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aR8hwFt9h
The bird nods and shrinks himself to perch on the lady’s shoulders.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CtY9iJy7
“Peacock is not enemy” Olwan tells to the Nautrens
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCWHQuYMWM
“But a potential suspect” Geardwell adds, “Its children are all the same!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi0dFpqOoH
“Where are Hommafrið and Philomena?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwNNzrhq1m
“Now looking for them? You know, when you left. Both wanted to look for you and forgot their duties to take care of Alongadol. And when our Alongadol died, they confessed for being guilty and wish to atone for their sins! Hah! So that leaves me, to take care of everything. So irresponsible.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08F3g7W03v
“Then tell me where I can find them.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEBgNdLuMs
“Please, you don’t have to.” Geardwell leans his ear to the whispering Nautren before nodding and saying,, “You know…you want to let the outsider siblings in right? To escape from all the chaos those two legged ants are making.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0MB0H44Ho
“I do not plan to do anything for ye.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtKKDiTMvF
“I know, but you will have to do this because my hands are already full for Alongadol. Take this chance as a way to repent yourself and I will allow our outsider siblings in. This will also undoubtedly reduce Módbeorg’s risk of being overrun by the undead and ye—"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qQM3LqcGv
“No, I will not do.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5riq5N43
“Let me finish” gritting his teeth before grinning, “And you will be able to bring Pebe with you.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7uEIAGnvi
“Pebe…? Ye rotten lizard, ye better did not do anything to Pebe.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNmtRUcw0
“Hah! Childish, of course I’ll do something to him later but something came up and I just wish for an exchange with you now since you are the most Hemrean among us in this Communal den.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9fuXubYHb
“…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zd3MpF6dv
“I’ll take the silence as a yes. Follow me and I will tell along the way.” Geardwell turns and walks towards the upstairs.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXVklkzLx
Peacock holds onto Olwan’s leg saying, “Hey, hey, you cannot leave me here. They will kill me.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qiyvhTogg
“Yer friends are here” she says as the giantess and Isaac walk up to them together with Escar. “As long as ye three stick together. Ye’ll be fine.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJfjjIHNY
“Pebe the criminal is back? Nautriarch Synwyn?” Escar questions before bowing,
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdeRhm3I4
Synwyn only raises her hand before walking for the upstairs, leaving Escar unanswered.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfiAmNoLKo
“Hm…I must have said something to upset her much” Escar says and turns to the trio hugging each other.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVGPpKGu13
“What now?” Peacock gathers Amerie and Isaac’s ears. “If we want to speak with the Nautriarchs, ye will have to find Nautriarch Philomena and Nautriarch Hommafrið. But both are, yes, atoning for their guilt at the moonsprings…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVgVdImzsU
“Then we go to a moonspring” Isaac says,
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ447ZK1CaAU
“Going to a moonspring, I hear?” Escar joins in, shocking the trio’s huddling, “Friends, no one can tell, as any pond or spring hit by the moonlight can be considered a moonspring. But some glow with the presence of Lunarids. And they are always on the move and Lunarids only show up at twilight unless one is adept at Spirit Calling.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4YK7oyicL
“Then, we hit a slump…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaLOGwOG4e
“No,” Amerie shakes her head, “We must persevere and try with Geardwell, and Synwy too, we didn’t know Olwan was a Nautriarch, maybe she can help us.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACU1XR9vO
“I am sorry to pry for this but…” Escar says, “I thought ye only wanted to ask for forgiveness to Alongadol. It is also a way for ye to show respect. Unless, ye also have other agendas?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmtu1EiIw8
“We thank you for escorting us thus far Escar,” Amerie ignores the question, raising Escar’s brow. “I’m sure you still have other duties to do.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqonBrQKyD
“No” Escar says, “In Módbeorg, there is always a rule that any non-Nautren should be accompanied by a Nautrient at best. Trust me, I will not let ye roam freely and we can focus on what should be done for ourselves and our kind. Also, directly asking a question to Nautriarch Geardwell calls for an on the spot public execution. I would not want the three characters of the prophecy end like that.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJXzKn1XZD
“Ah…ahaha…ha…” Amerie rubs her cheeks, “Looks like we do not need to say anything where we should go next”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H6vp88yVm
“Right” Escar nods, “Trust me. I know how we can approach a Nautriarch.”
