Chapter 02: The beginning of a journey
The next day, Dan wakes up with a strong force. Bathing, dress pants and a blue shirt and will see the patient.
He doesn't understand, but soon heard the butler say after finding it when you leave the room of the sick:
"Mr. Jones, the guest awaked a with a strong discomfort caused by pains, Mr. Jacobs called a healer who prescribed a remedy herbal and barks to relieve it, however, will leave you two days in deep sleep."
"Shit!" It was the only thing he said in mind as he goes with his hands on his head. It dispenses with the employee and says as he walks to the floor: "Two days without doing anything. There must be something. ". Passing through the corridors of rooms, find the library, looking at the door giving access to the place, try to decide whether it would, soon shrugs and says, "Do what? I'll read a little. "
The library wasn't as majestic, but simple, as was recently organized by his brother. There were about six shelves crammed with books, journals and notes in an organized way, had a couple of tables with four chairs around, the walls was a collection of shells and some lamps for lighting.
Dan walks through the stacks of books for one that would read. Stories, Myths, Daily Battle, Conflict, Economics, Medicine, Religion, Tag, Occultism, Manufacturing and Philosophy, were some topics that he saw. Chose to read philosophy. The book was big and heavy, goes to a table and after putting it on the table, sits down and begins to read.
A servant appears and asks them to bring breakfast, arriving in a matter of minutes, containing fruit and sandwiches.
Hours spent reading some topics on theology, when it comes to lunch.
The same servant appears and asks them to be brought to him, arriving minutes later. The servant brought a tray with a pot roast, vegetables and cereals. Dan eats a little of everything and re-read.
He was tired, but continued until, a few hours later, someone enters the library, he pays attention and sees Craig wearing a red robe with gold stripes on the shoulders, still looking to hear that the same mood to talk to the door, " I didn't let get in my library! "Dan laughs and hears them again in a curious tone:
"Why are you not talking to akrimi ... The visitor?"
"He will stay two days in deep sleep until the effect of a medication pass." Dan said closing the book.
"You will do that this time?"
"Find something to occupy me at the moment."
"Hmm ... Want to join me in combat test of my gym?"
"Really!?" Dan hesitated.
"Yeah!" With a smile.
"Excuse me brother, but this time I'll rearrange me."
"Okay. So, even. "He said with a reduction in the face.
Craig out and let Dan alone.
Dan back to read until someone comes up again after knocking on the door, the butler was bringing tea, Dan accepts, he's serving and let the pan along with a bowl of cookies.
Night falls and Dan will eat and sleep. The next day he goes to the tavern Hooks, but nothing new, drink a little and come back home, spending the day gathered in a room of the patient sitting in an armchair where he sleeps.
Finally comes the second day, Dan was still asleep when someone moves his arm, he slowly opens his eyes and sees the man standing before her, wearing a white robe.
Sleepy, Dan rubs his eyes and slowly stands up, the man a short distance away and says without maintaining a contact angle:
"Sorry to wake you, sir."
"Nothing. How do you feel? "
"Much better ... Thank you for taking care of me sir. "
"Great ... Are you hungry? "Said Dan stretching.
"One of his employees brought us juice and sandwiches sir." Said the man pointing to the table.
Dan goes to pick up a table and starts eating. "Beef ..." thought Dan chewing bread, the man returns to sit in bed and look over the body, Dan doesn't understand anything until you look at it and offers a sandwich, he takes one and eats slowly, the juice was blackberries and was very sweet, fast, the sandwiches were devoured by Dan more than the man.
With more available, Dan walks to the window and watch the yard when he heard the man ask taking full attention of the vision:
"Why have you been looking for me sir?"
Dan approaches the man and says in a soft voice: "I heard that you had direct contact with a Tigaero, right?"
The man is suddenly begins to stutter saying:
"Well .. Sir ... Is that ... That ... I cannot ... Confirms that yes or no."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you, I promise. "Said Dan getting closer to him still.
The man realizes approach lowers his head at the time and says: "I cannot tell you anything sir. Sorry."
"All right."
Dan goes toward the door and says, "When you want to talk will be on the court of the training room ... Don't leave this house. While here be safe of anything. You're my guest, however, if you want to leave I won't stop him. "
He leaves the room and goes to the training room.
The room was only one place big illuminated by several windows and lamps, some objects and furniture for the rest and the bottom there were three doors in Cedar shiny, Dan opens the right and is met with a small deposit, there is his armor and after receiving training, silvery had some drawings of the symbols of the academy, which stood out most was a golden lion roaring in the back and two golden swords crossed on his chest, a rather large shell-shaped rectangular dark color with a star Silver and his sword, a sword larger version with two snakes drawn on the blade.
He is, slowly, putting the whole armor, grabs the sword and shield. When he comes out, sees the long-haired man standing. Nothing says and goes to the center of the room, therefore, begins training.
Dan stands there a little, positioning the shield in his left hand forward and takes his sword with the right, lowering it below. It is longer time stopped breathing deeply with your eyes closed. The man is standing there watching him in a standing majestically.
Concentrate Dan opens his eyes and begins:
There was a warrior to attack him ahead, quickly, positions the shield for defense, other behind, he steps to the side and places the sword to defend, the first attacker goes back a bit and try a drill, Dan goes up to him and, turning, slamming his sword into the opponent's pulling it from its trajectory, even with the spin, he quickly moves the hilt of his sword in his hand more firmly positioning and pierces the back of the attacker falls to the ground, another comes up in your face with a hatchet and attacks, he uses the shield and defend, but the force was tremendous that your body is bent. The enemy forced increasingly ax, Dan holds the sword in its sheath and with strength, pushing with both hands the shield, he won by force and a hit with the shield, under the ax out of his way leaving the opponent back guard, quickly, Dan draws his sword and when they would jam the sword in his back, another pops up and attacks him, Dan quickly defended with the sword and force the retreat, both continue to cross swords until, with a kick, Dan pushes the man against the wall, quickly, it sets off two diagonal strokes from top to bottom on different sides of the man who is seriously cut into the body ends and pierced his stomach.
He sees heavy footsteps behind him, suddenly, turns and going down a little, he advocates a strong attack with the sword hitting the shield making the opponent back, thus, jams the sword at the feet of the enemy that gives a strong scream, he draws the sword and attacks the neck of it falling on the floor.
It appears that another attack from the front, the blow was so strong that it withdrew its shell, a new attack and run, but he defends with the sword held by both hands, quickly and objectively conducted several strikes against the individual who defends and enough to beat him with a kick, turning back and losing custody. _ __ And when a strike could hit your head, he moves quickly, causing a surprise the enemy and jam a sword into his stomach._
The man sees everything perfectly until he decides to sit.
Dan is training for more than two hours until he decides to stop. Sweat a lot, he picks up the shell on the floor and goes to the man who bows his head quickly, sits next to him and relax a little. The man breathed deeply several times, Dan notes and then asks, "Is something wrong?" The man coughs and shakes his head uncontrollably, Dan takes off his helmet and put on the table, you hear a knock at the door Dan looks up and sees the butler enters and asks:
"Do you want something, sir?"
"For me the wine would be very welcome at this time and you?" Said Dan looking man with long hair.
The man listens and with a trembling voice said: "I. .. Maybe ... I think ... Water sir. "
"Wine and water, however, an extra cup would be willingly." Said Dan putting the sword on the table.
"Yes, sir."
Butler leaves and both are silent, minutes later he returns carrying a tray that was sought. Dan Butler serves and man therefore leaving out the tray on the table. Dan gives two deep gulps and says while looking at the cup:
"There is nothing to drink a little wine isn't it?"
The man answered nothing, and slowly drank the water when Dan makes another question:
"Want to talk?"
The man holding the cup with both hands and placing it in the lap says:
"Is that my life has changed so much these days. I'm still so stunned, sir."
"I can hear her outburst if you want." Said Dan a little closer together.
"I don't know where to start."
"We will present? I'm Dan Jones Wolfstein. And you?"
"I'm Kark Munire."
"Great! It is a good start. "Said Dan drinking a little wine.
"The creature that I saw measured more than four meters tall, had a thick muscles, the face and body of a tiger that we see here, but walked on two legs, two tusks larger than my hand out of the mouth, a smooth coat and soft, smelled so delightful ... I don't know if you want to hear it. "Kark said with a sad voice.
"If you don't want to count all right." Said Dan drinking the rest of the wine in his cup.
Kark deep breath and says, remembering his last misadventure:
"I was traveling to a village away from here to gather some herbs to start planting them in small fields around Kleargs when I was lost in a dense forest, I ended up in a mountainous area.
It was night and had set up a tent to protect me from the cold that was when I heard a strange noise around the cabin, I certify, but nothing found. I returned to the cabin and I was lying there trying to sleep in strange surroundings, when the sounds of rattling approached, I gathered the corners of the tent totally frightened.
Nothing appears and try to sleep until I can, however, after a while, I felt moisture on my face that made me wake up, slowly, opened my eyes when I saw the head of a tiger salivating about me, I was so scared and tried to run, but I couldn't, grabbed me so hard with a hug that left me totally stuck. After a while, I smelled so good that made me leave in a state so strange, I felt a pleasure growing increasingly feel that aroma. When the tiger brought his face close to mine the only thing I could do was smell the ever stronger until, oddly enough, she licked my face slowly. I opened my eyes frightened, until I saw a so beautiful smile on his face, I couldn't say or do anything, I was fully hard, the tiger saw and looked at me in a sensual way, however, withdrew from above me and sat, the smell was being pulled out of my nose so suddenly that I couldn't bear, tearing up so much that I crawled to her, when I noticed his ... Your ... Member forth from the sheath of his groin. It was red and the size and thicker, totally, beyond that already seen. The smell that exuded the tiger was greater in this part. My nose led me blindly there.
When I was as close as I began to salivate excessively, I screamed to myself sending back: "I've never been that!" But something made me continue. Slowly, I approached my face and body took a deep breath all that sweet smell, I was quite ecstatic, I looked at the face of the tiger who smiled at me as I stroked my hair. My lips approached the body and slowly licked its tip.
The taste was, absurdly, strange, a little greasy musky taste, sweet in my opinion, the skin was so smooth and soft. I was totally amazed, the only thing I could do then was to put the entire length into my mouth. Slowly, I went down my lips until it was partially in my mouth, the taste became increasingly strong, it was so hot. I couldn't believe what he was doing until I started to suck a little wanting more and more like the musky, moaning more and more as sucking, also could hear the tiger roars to deliver a smooth, realized I was giving a great pleasure to him.
I seemed a bitch! I sucking so strong, pressed, absurdly, my lips around the limb until the Tiger began to push my head more and more its member, one forced me to take most of the mouth, I came to feel touch my neck, opened his eyes surprised, but soon came back to enjoy again.
I removed all the organ of my mouth and started to run my tongue around the head. I did this several times until I left again to put almost every member in my mouth.
Some few seconds later, I could see the pulsing member, didn'thing, unlike increasingly forced my mouth to the body, up and down faster and faster. I was already pretty wet so much pleasure I felt. I could feel a little thick fluid out of the State, I accepted everything perfectly, repeated several times until the pulse became larger, I felt the tiger again put his hands behind my head, when in one thrust, he again pushing me against a member, added, to strong long roar, then a thick load back into my mouth was so hot, in addition to a large amount, I went to get wide-eyed with the pumping, it forced me some more until I felt, again, touching my neck, the pump was so strong, he gave every sip I felt a strong sense of pleasure that made me shoot well.
The release lasted for seconds, every time I swallowed it appeared until finally stopped.
The tiger head stroked my gratitude, I was still nursing a while before slowly remove the member from my mouth emitting a low 'Slurp', a remnant seed seeped from the corners of my mouth, I tried to clean them.
The Tigaero looked at me maliciously and was still with the member quite hard, I approached a little more and started petting him, masturbating him, he just looked to me that when he would return to suck it again, he raised my head and said softly with a finger in my mouth: "No, no, no... I don't want any more right now. "Inside I was startled to hear the creature speak, but externally, the only actions were touching that paw and licking it.
Therefore, he grabbed me and put me arched her waist, put my arms around his shoulders. The body was so hard, but the coat of hair was so soft I almost forgot the member, permeate between the cheeks of my ass, but didn't last long until I felt the national press against my asshole without straining. It felt strange, hot, humid and hard to permeate my hole, I closed my eyes trying to focus me on what was and slowly materialized.
He pressed more and more my hole until I felt it swell to the attacker, the pain was increasing, whined a lot, I felt a dull pain inside and outside, but due to the moisture that had slipped the member without any type of repulsion. I clenched my teeth and lowered my head trying to stand the pain while getting more and more length, it seemed that will never end, my gut dilated increasingly giving way to enter the member who was forced, I was panting more and more when it finally ends not because it was already quite deep in me, but the limit that I stand.
Noting the cessation of torture, I open my eyes and look at the tiger moaned a bit, he places his hands on the cheeks of my ass and with a smile, I stood slowly and likewise, was taken from me within the national. My insides went back to try to stay in its original form, but it wasn't the same thing, the pain was held back a little, however, is only removed much of the length leaving only the tip in and again for me to enter a little faster.
The pain wasn't the same, but it hurt too much. The pace was becoming ever stronger, until the stocks were becoming a standard excruciating.
After some time there was no pain, but a great pleasure.
It's hard to explain, but I wanted more and more to continue, I groaned as the tiger just looked at me with a grimace pleasure. Some minutes later, spread my seed all over his stomach and he continued until, quietly, for he leaving the member depth in dropping me a warm and strong eruption in, I could feel the liquid spread across the wall of my ass, the tiger began to push me up and down a bit wanting more and more came out, well, I could feel the other three shots, I felt the last drain out, I went back to spread my seed with this feeling. We bent for a long time until you feel your body shrink.
He cut his neck and puts me down, through its member reddish back into the sheath slowly, I was crying on his knees waiting for more until I hear Tiger say, "Good job Human!".
Inside I was paralyzed, but my mind made me crave more and more with a sad look, he caressed my face when he asked: "You're Asmaghorn?" I denied while enjoying the caresses, he settled and taking the hand of my face is moving away, I couldn't say anything until it is positioned to exit the hut, so I did several questions, but only two he replied, he was a Tigaero and wouldn't take me with him.
I tried to grab him in the midst of tears, but so quickly he left the cabin when I left, not come out only at night.
I wandered in the darkness of night through the woods screaming for him, but no signal, exhausted from walking, slept in the midst of forest. The next day, try to find it, but couldn't, in the midst of a strong sadness came back here.
Remained secluded in memories and thoughts with Tigaero. He wanted that taste and smell again near me. From there I began to catch up with other men, wasn't the same thing, it was disgusting! And among all these attempts, I could get was the fame of Akrimin being humiliated daily and uses cheap prostitute.
This is my story. Everything that happened ... It's the first time I say it without avoiding any point, comma or question mark. "
When we finally hear the man finished, Dan was already totally stunned by that too much detail, imagine reaching the scene, his mind was a mess, couldn't organize, not because it was so complex, but to hear in detail the relationship between man and Tigaero.
Confused, Dan remains silent while the Kark begins to sob into a strong head down crying. Dan looked at him so afraid that the words could say to try to calm him down until he hears the man say in a low voice and sad:
"What you see in me?"
Dan cough a little, fills the cup of wine, drinks a bit, doing everything he could to arrange a friendly argument when he hears Kark said in tears: "You see! Even knowing the whole truth of what happened, shows the same impression those who don't know! A whore! ".
Crossing his arms Dan tries to defend himself: "Although his behavior is totally compromising your image, don't see how the others."
"No!?" Hesitated Kark wiping the tears from his face.
"No. From what you emphasized, never had this kind of attraction before, just after the. .. To ... Involved with Tigaero. Her experiences with men were only for the pursuit of feeling he had with the Tiger. In short, don't blame him for what happens or what happened to you. "Dan said with a sweet voice placing his hand on his shoulder.
The man's reaction was almost sudden, Kark crying a little less, Dan grabs with a hug and said between sobs: "Thanks."
The same hand that rested on the shoulders of man is put on his back and is made an attempt to caress him lodging, Kark stays that way for a while giving several strong sighs, Dan didn't like the situation but doesn'thing to hurt not it when the man suddenly goes back apologizing, nothing is said about, Dan back to drink wine, when they hear again, someone knocking on the door that opens and then it appears that the butler door himself says:
"Mr. Jones, your father wants his immediate presence in the boardroom."
"Any particular reason?" Said Dan standing up looking towards the steward.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm not allowed to dispose of it in such information."
"So it must be something serious." Dan whispered to himself. "Announce my presence."
"Yes sir, excuse me."
The butler comes out, Dan put the cup on the table when he turned his face to the man who was already a little more calmly, "Excuse me, but I have to leave it alone for a while."
"Don't worry. I'll be okay. "
Dan goes to the man and knelt down in front says: "People judge others with or without cause. You shouldn't leave it with the reach. If you know the truth, must keep the mind clean even under the pressure of all. "
"But I cannot defend myself from people who take advantage of fame." Whispered the man with his head down.
"There are always alternative ways to solve a problem, just believe in them and, especially, in yourself to follow."
The man settled supposedly getting the message, then Dan walks to the door, when he was opening it to the voice of Kark said: "Thanks for the words and for hearing me, I needed to get this weight off my shoulders a little. "
Dan turns his face and says: "It wasn'thing! It was the least I could do! If you want something you can go to the butler or some servant that will be provided. "
"Okay."
Dan leaves the room and close the door leans on it and says in a voice just loud, "What happened here?" He takes a deep breath and walks up to the boardroom yet screened, but without the equipment left on the table.
On the way he talks to even follow what he heard of Akrimin: "Of all the obscenity of what I heard, I can withdraw as valid information? Well .. Good .. He said that the Tigaero gave off a smell attractive ... But if I mention it, the consequence will be very degrading ... The second was ... Asmaghorn? Mmmm ... Is! Asmaghorn! The tiger asked him if he was there! ... Looking at the relationship between the two ... There could be human there! However... Never heard of this place. Then it will be about this place that I would like. "
When is the reason Dan was already on the door, the butler has just arrived and after a sharp breath, he enters.
Inside may notice a remarkable number of people, eleven, being accurate, seated on a rectangular table with only one open seat. Almost all were unknown to him, only one that can identify who was his father, sitting on the bedside table, next to the empty chair.
Dan greets everyone and is therefore called the father to sit down, he calmly walks up to the chair and elegantly sits around seconds after the action heard the father ask:
"I interrupted something important?"
"We can discuss it later, Dad?"
"If it has relationship with the Tigaeros is better than all the board members know." Jacobs said in a voice hard.
Dan is a quiet little organizes the words and question in a loud tone: "One of these gentlemen have heard about Asmaghorn?"
All remain silent until he returns to speak: "The Tigaero asked the person who saw him he was this place. Has anyone heard? "
A murmur arises until a man wearing a brown robe says, "I say this in the registration of all towns, villages or any other description there is no place with this name."
Dan is with his hand to his chin and said: "I also never heard of, but to have been made that relationship with us can be something."
"Think of something?" Asked Jacobs approaching straightening in his chair.
"Nothing, father."
Another rumble comes up that a man with a gray eye slap golden question, "When your son knows about this subject General Jacobs?"
"He's the only one who can answer counselor Morlic ." Said Jacobs showing and raising his hands.
"Well?" Said the same man driving his vision for Dan
"Over the Tigaeros about a month, on Asmaghorn minutes." Said Dan quietly.
"Your father told you?" Asked Morlic.
"A lot of research found in private, my father just told me a few points after telling what he knew."
"How is your knowledge?"
Dan thinks a bit after a sigh and says, "Enough to say that the assumptions that all information the boards are aware, it takes something more detailed for a possible defense."
Morlic gets a little quiet, Dan looks at her father as if asking how his performance, the only thing they see was is their positive nod when you hear a hoarse voice at the bottom of the table say gaining everyone's attention: "Maybe we can organize a search party to try to find this place. "
"We cannot look for something without having to track position, this world is immense." Said a man of clothes white silk.
"Moreover, the danger around us at the moment has a higher priority." Said a man with long hair and white.
"So let's return to discuss the Tigaeros." Said the voice hoarsely.
After a brief silence reflecting Morlic comments:
"An attempt at direct communication is extremely reckless and lack can leave us at the mercy of any risk that may cause us. So I suggest organizing a new expedition to attempt to direct communication. "
"Even knowing the risks?" Hesitated a man with a tunic cream.
"We have to make some sacrifices for the greater good." Morlic said with a serious voice.
"Warriors of low-level?" Asked the man with long hair white.
"It isn't recommended." Jacobs said crossing his arms.
"Explain yourself." Morlic giving all the attention.
"It's a waste of staff time and therefore if there is a communication, you cannot express, and discussion, the interests of the kingdom and in case of failure, it is only meat." Jacobs said uncrossing arms and curling up on the chair .
"So I suggested the presence of the presence of warriors with a degree of intellect and ability greater?" The man of clothes of white silk.
"Properly." Jacobs said nodding.
"Noble ... Most of them aren't involved in the military only in the realm of economic and so, in most cases, avoid this type of situation. "Commented the man cream.
"I agree. They are the most self-centered society. "Said one man from Robert Brown.
"General Jacobs, can list the members?" Asked Morlic.
"I would be honored counselor."
"Great! Send me the most urgently names soon to inform the King the whole plan to accept or not. "
"Certainly, counselor"
"So, here ends the meeting." Morlic said standing up.
After all that action at the table are the same, after a series of greetings, board members leave the room, leaving only Jacobs and Morlic they talked a bit and Dan was still standing in the same place where he sat down, after seeing their father called and goes to him, when it gets very close, Morlic looked at him so intensely, Dan squeezed his hand when he hears it say, "Comparing your child with you General, he doesn't look like you but his personality."
Dan hesitates and says to himself in thought: "Someone else says that ...", he looks for the father who showed a face as serious in silence until it's broken with his throat then said with a strong statement:" All traits he inherited from the mother. "
"Maybe, I never saw her."
"She died after he was born."
"My condolences General... Now let the other members shall be waiting for me." Morlic said nodding.
"Yes, counselor."
Morlic pulls up to the door quickly, Jacobs takes the front and opens out the two, Dan is there alone staring across the room, until shrugs and leaves.
Dan back to the training room and remove the shield, it is some time in the library, reading a little, it's time for the evening meal, he eats alone and goes to her room and stayed there all day in bed.
Two days go by fast, same period, it passes without seeing his father. Dan was coming from a previous meeting of the fight of the trainees Astride when he is approached by the butler at the door that says:
"Mr. Jones, your father calls him in his office."
Dan settled and then go there.
When you enter, the first thing you do is hear his father talk while walking to the chair:
"Are you aware of everything that is occurring and has in mind our interests, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"So, want to join?"
Chokes on time and in an uncontrolled manner he says nodding too much on so eager, "Of course, it would be great to take my part."
"However, I don't speak the simple task but one that entails a risk that, perhaps, cannot come together again." Jacobs said with a cold voice.
"Everything we do in this life father, there are consequences, cannot escape them." Dan said, lowering his head a little.
"So will you?" Jacobs said leaning back in his chair.
Dan nods and hears his father say: "Tomorrow morning, you will need to pass the royal castle to acquire all the material to be used as well, who will accompany him."
"Who are they?"
"There are five people ... No you know. "
"The names and what they do at least." Begged Dan curiosity.
"Michael Aylia, captain of the royal guard, Johnson Mcneal and Victorius Lushmor, two guards protecting the personal protection of the royal family and Kurt Neph, a patrolman."
"We lacked a father, you said only five." Dan said with a laugh between the teeth.
"The fifth wasn't I who chose but Morlic." Screamed Jacobs crossing his arms and continued. "His name is Hurley Magnus, the message I received, he is a mage, just as you graduated recently."
"What are your skills? '
"It has expertise in natural medicine."
"It will be very useful ... Anything else? "
"I'll follow you there. So ... Be ready before the sunrise. "
"Sure." Nodded Dan
"You can go. I have work to do. "Jacobs said taking a parchment from the drawer.
"Okay."
Dan leaves the office and then goes to his room where, so quickly, lies on the bed leaving the door open, staring at the ceiling, speaking of him in a rather loud tone:
"You got what wanted so badly. An adventure that will mark his life forever Dan ... But ... That's what you dream it? Risking his life in favor of an ideal, but not his but the other? It was you who accepted the mission or the vision that was passed in the stories and diaries I read? "
He's a quiet time until when he would return to say something when a male voice comes from the family door: "I also saw the missions from, blindly, adventures sir."
"Who?"
"Me sir, Kark."
"You shouldn't be listening behind the door." Dan said with a mild increase in tone of voice.
Kark enters, closes the door and says staying in the same leaning his head down: "Excuse me, but I couldn't avoid."
"Okay ... What say? "Said Dan turned to look at the ceiling.
"Sir, I always did my assignments around the adventures because of the stories my father had. They were so exciting ... However, it was the same way he listened. Many people who had great appreciation, lost their lives or ruined the same ... See my example. "Kark with sadness in his voice.
Dan takes his hand to his chin and grimaced thoughtfully says, "Thinking that way ... I may have confused what I wanted. "
"I'm not trying to stop him to do, but think before anything is the difference."
"I know. But ... I'm sure I can do it! I believe in destiny. "Said Dan with refreshed.
"Okay ... If I may ask ... What is the mission that will do? "
Getting up in bed talking Dan scratching his head: "Is restricted, but since I'm very grateful to share what he knew about the Tigaeros, I'll share too. I'll form a group that will try to establish contact with the Tigaeros."
"Really!?" Cried the man with strong emotion.
Dan settled and sees the man running toward him, he is startled when she sees Kark kneel before him and his head down on his lap, pleaded in tears: "Please take me with you sir! I cannot live here anymore! Is the only thing I ask! Please!
"I don't know if it's possible." Said Dan stroking her head.
"Please! I need to go with you! It is my only hope to meet him! "Kark increasing the tone of voice.
"You can get any worse than this." Warned Dan
"I know! But it would be in a place where it would go through such humiliation! Please! Help me! "
Dan says nothing being silent for a time seeing the man dissolved into tears on her lap, trying to act coolly and ignore, but cannot and says, "Something to drink?" The man gets up and sits in bed, just Dan stands up and picks up a bottle of wine and two glasses. It gives a man and serves, when filled the cup itself, see Kark drink all the cup at once. Returns to put more wine and says trying to calm him: "You shouldn't be so." Kark is to hand over his face wiping the last tear ran down her face and after a series of deep sobs, drink more wine, reaching a brief calm, Dan puts his hand on his shoulder when he hears the man say with one voice distorted:
"How can I stay calm knowing that I have a chance to find the tiger again?"
"But not for me to decide who can go or not." Dan said removing his hand.
"But it can at least try to, sir?" Kark said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Maybe ..." Dan said with a pensive air.
"So I beg you to try sir! Please!"
Dan again tried not to be moved by the situation, but yields to sentiment and says:
"Sure." Said Dan, rising and going toward the door remains. "I'll talk to my father, but, no promises."
Dan leaves the room and breakfast and walks calmly into the office, when it comes to the door of the room, sees it being opened and her father comes out carrying two scrolls. Jacobs was distracted, but he sees her son walking toward him, Jacobs, rushed , passes through it quickly, Dan follows him and realizing that says:
"Any doubts Dan?"
"No, but I have a request to make."
"What?"
"The adventurer go with us."
Jacobs stops and says giving full attention to his son: "Why? If he no longer has any use? "
Dan freezes, thoughts sent to tell the truth, but would blur the vision that his father had, he gets a lot of time thinking and the only thing he said was meaningless words: "Well .. Is that ...Good .. ". Jacobs ran his hand across his forehead annoyed by the slow response and again to saying, "Any particular reason?" But didn't hear the answer, but the same words earlier, Jacobs sighs deeply the air looking for a calm spirit and gesturing says:
"I'll make just one question that cannot explain, just based on that yes or no, right?"
Dan agrees relieved and then hear:
"His presence is important for the development or implementation of the mission?"
The silence returns and the mind that Dan looks in thought: "One wouldn't be the right answer, but ... He was the only one to have contact with them, also knows the way, rather than all of us,however, this is an excuse for true intention of their presence. ...", he could see the impatience of the father with his throat, draws attention and then respond positively.
Jacobs turns and down the hall away from the son says, "Okay, then. Tell him everything. "
Dan expires strong relieved of not telling anything wrong and so back to your room, Kark wasn't there, you're going to find and breakfasts in bed. Kark repairs entering the room due to the noise of heavy steps performed quickly, sits looking at him with a twinkle in the eyes of curiosity, was the first time he runs a direct gaze. "Beautiful blue eyes." Dan said out loud, embarrassed, the man's face becomes red making him lower his head against the left shoulder. Dan clears his throat and then gives the news:
"My father allowed his trip."
"Really, sir?" Kark said with a smile growing.
Dan nods and soon see the man throw himself on his feet with a certain emotion by saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you even for what you are doing for me sir!"
"It wasn'thing."
"Like nothing you?" Said the man went away and surprised. "No one would rather do than have you done for me! I don't know how to repay it all! "
"I'm not asking anything in return. All I do, why I like to be treated differently by others." Said Dan away from the man towards the door.
"Nevertheless sir, I thank you." Kark said with a gentle tone.
Dan goes to the door opening and says, "You're welcome, but you should be ready before sunrise when we go to the floor of the royal army."
"Okay, sir."
"Right then, I'll return to training ... Do you want to join?"
"Sorry sir, but I was never good with any weapon."
"What was in their missions then?"
"Helping others as a researcher and healer." Said the man with a fierce pride.
"Okay."
Dan leaves the room and when he had taken a few steps down the hall when the man leaves the room and says, "Sir, can I see?" Dan nods and soon, Kark accompanies.
Upon reaching the room, Kark sits in the same database when first entered, back to Dan for the shield and the equipment on the table and back into combat with imaginary enemies.
Spends two hours of intense training in rhythm until, exhausted, decides to stop.
He throws himself into a chair beside the man who still looking for a while until it stops to see Dan taking off the gloves, then the breastplate, boots and pants, leaving only the whole blue completely wet with sweat. He sprawled in his chair when he realizes the man sighed deeply several times, curious he asks, "Something's wrong." the man coughing uncontrollably at the time saying, "No sir." With a skeptical eye in his response, Dan up and says: "I'll go to my room to bathe me rest, excuse me." Dan leaves the man alone, goes to his room and does what it says.
In the first rays of the new day coming timidly out the window, there was Dan wearing a black tunic with gold buttons, leaving in the fourth shot, down the stairs and out of the mansion, just see the coach ready to face, goes to her and enter, but still had no one, sits and awaits the others.
Kark arrives a few minutes later, wearing a gray suit and sitting next to him and greets, Dan returns and both are silent waiting, Jacobs arrives about twenty minutes later, wearing a set of red silk and carrying some parchment, he greets the orders and the wagon ride. The driver suddenly makes the horse walk and so begin to walk.
The silence was something more present throughout the day, Dan was so disoriented that comes to lean about three times the attention, but nothing he saw Kark head down and his father read one of the scrolls, he decides, then look the window it doesn't see hardly anybody walking down the street, still think better than that emptiness inside.
Arrive at a simple and modest little home away from the castle, the carriage stops and then you hear the driver say opening the door: "We come sir."
Jacobs goes first, Dan and Kark then. Dan was a bit confused and looked all over the place with fear until he hears his father say walking to the door: "It was decided that departed from here to prevent rumors of the guard." Clarified the doubts Dan follows his father and then Kark.
It was all wood, small, there was the façade, a door and a window of the same material, with no details and nothing else, only pure wood.
Knock on the door and then a small window opens, eyes arise from a small opening and the door is opened, the three enter. Two men were fully armored standing there guarding the door and a hallway leading into the house that there wasn'thing in it until now, men greet Jacobs and then give permission to enter. The three walk down the short corridor until they reach the two doors: one that followed from the front of the hall and another left, Jacobs opens the left and soon the three come.
Inside see five people sitting around a circular table that was missing with three empty seats, four of these people were heavily armored and with a robust black robe with white spots and a hood with the predominant color.
Seeing Jacobs all stand up, Jacobs gives the order to sit and sit without further delay as well. All were already comfortable in their seats when Jacobs begins to tell:
"All of you have been informed of the situation in the kingdom and it is your efforts to seek a solution to this impasse ... Is there any doubt? "
"One doubt General." Said the man briefly black robe.
"What?"
"It is real even if there is such a creature with a development compared to ours, General?"
"Possibly, yes."
"All right General."
"Then as the beginning of this journey, I made up for the group with a brief description of your key skills that all are aware. Starting with you. "Jacobs said then pointing to the man's robe.
The man stands up and says after his throat: "Well .. I'm Hurley Magnus, I have just graduated from Hirardins academy, I have knowledge in natural medicine and languages. "
Hurley sits down and soon a man with a darker screen says: "I'm Michael Aylia captain of royal guard, I have knowledge on survival and repair."
Another stands in the shortest time of all and says: "I'm Kurt Neph, a patrolman, I have knowledge in tracking."
A greater height Dan says: "I'm Victorious Lushmor, personal protective guard of the royal family, an expert in surveillance and repair."
The last unknown, differentiated only by the previous one jamb spine, stands up and says: "I'm Johnson Mcneal, also guard protecting the royal family, I'm a hunter."
They arrived in time for Kark and Dan both look at each other, Dan soon took to see the shyness Kark, "I'm Dan Jones Wolfstein, I have my degree in Astride, I have knowledge in philosophy, politics and medicine."
Kark stands a little shaky and with a low tone of voice says a few missteps: "I... I'm Kark Munire, I'm an ex ... Explorer and healer. "
"Okay then, so remember! Are a group! One should help others in need. So, Mr. Michael Johnson, Victorious and Kurt are free to collect the personal equipment for each one and go their mounts are on the other door of the hall. "
"Yes, sir." They all up and leaving the room.
Jacobs looks at the child, Kark and Hurley and after sigh strong comments:
"From what I noticed Dan, you and Hurley are the precursors of the interaction. Must be tuned."
"Sure, Dad."
"All right General." Hurley said in a firm voice.
"And you Kark. Do you know fighting technique? "
"Neither, sir."
"And you want to go anyway?"
"Yes, sir."
"Okay then. You can go to the same port your shield or wear special clothing is preferred. Dismissed. "
The three settle and leave the room, enter the other door, inside was a wall with some wooden cabinets and a door at the bottom, where Hurley goes straight, a man shielded against the wall to see them ask their names, they say and logo are appointed to their respective cabinets.
Dan sees a full armor, and other objects and equipment, it takes the pair of iron, the weight was significant, given the degree of increase in turbot, after putting on the full armor, looks like it is your move, anything bother me run all movements perfectly, "How could?" said Dan high, the armored man hears and says: "It was done by a real blacksmith, he created a design of armor that even with the degree of reinforcement joints are fully flexible to any movement." Dan is impressed and then comes to get the other equipment, picks up a sword kept in a protective metal, he takes it and sees the drawing, had a slight bend, keep back and holds sheath in his belt, the shield was the same ease that won the training that is heavier and with a roaring lion in gold. He holds the shield on the back, all that remained was to get some scholarships, four were medium character, Dan checks the weight, were not so heavy like that, but after a while would be uncomfortable.
Ending to pick up the bags, look for Kark, he wore a robe similar to that of Hurley being entirely brown, holding pockets also saw the guard that goes to the last open door and saying, "Here are your mounts." slowly they pass through the door and see a stable, "Horses!? With that weight wouldn't go very far. "Commented Dan as he walked among the stalls empty, but it was strange, the smell was more concentrated to a dog, beyond the precincts are larger. After a short hallway, found another man with a large shielded cell in hand, Dan and Kark walk up to him when the same question: "Already mounted in Warhounds before?" Kark says no, but that Dan yeah right man opens the gate and enter the barn, Kark and Dan go to the gate there and see the Warhound, Kark is amazed at the size of the monster and quite frightened by coming back a step, while in the saddle animal black not fighting, he says:
"Warhounds are simply a type of large wolf found near the Dark Swamp. Compared with a horse, has superior physical, enough to carry almost more than half his weight easily, surprising resiliency. This ride is dedicated to large exploration the most remote areas ..."
The man finishes put the cell in question Warhound and turning and gesturing called Dan, he goes up there and calmly approached the man as a question:
"When did you set up one?"
"During a presentation Astride."
"Then you know how to handle one."
"Yes," said Dan holding the stock in the saddle and continued while stroking the animal's head. "Keep it on the field, through gestures and the dominant firm without disrespecting it. "
"Correct. Now wait a minute. "
"Sure."
The man goes away and leaves him alone with the animal, Dan caressed it and lie on the floor, staying there for a while, the man called back and soon Dan back to the mount by the bridle out of the barn and there was doing the same Kark , however, showed some concern about what was holding. The man goes to a great wall of the barn and pulling a rope, the wall moves and see the place out beyond the walls of the kingdom and all others beside his mounts.
Dan and Kark leave when everyone stood, they hear a familiar voice speaking in a loud, Dan realizes that he was the father: "I wish everyone good luck and know that the future of the kingdom is in your hands.", All seated, Jacobs goes to Dan and whispered says: "Just listen. Whatever happens there I'll always be your father. Do you hear? " Dan doesn't understand and would say something when his father stops and repeats:" Did you hear? "After a sigh Dan settled positively and soon his father away. He remains confused until after a wave of farewell and closed the passage.
Dan is still looking until you hear the voice of Hurley, "Hey Wolfstein, not coming?" Without understanding, Dan turns around and notices that the others had to walk, so he gives the order to start walking Warhound and follow them. When they were already a good distance, Dan asks for a moment, everyone stops looking at the walls of the kingdom far away with a confused mind the last words his father said, he whispers: "What does he mean?" until Kark awkwardly, causing some laughter of his companions, rode up to him and asks:
"What do you hear?"
Dan turns around and back on the path, said low tone: "That's what I wanted to know."
