Dragonheart Part 6
#7 of Dragonheart Part 0-28
In the afternoon the next day reached Luso coral port again and they immediately made their way to the old fortress, and he took the Surasshu a few days ago as a building for their clan to complete. From afar he heard some voices, which surprised him in part. "Has he found as soon as new members?" He asked curiously and walked on.
As he walked through the door he saw that the entire courtyard was freigräumt standen.Zudem tables everywhere and anywhere there were people of various races who would apparently apply to a clan member. They were all so different Kleidungsstückte the Luso could hardly classify them. When he entered the fortress saw them from the inside but not completely cleaned out, because in some places still veil hung on the walls of dirt and cobwebs.
On the wall hung a sign on the "Apply in the throne room" was. Luso read it and noticed how some people walked past him. Some came from the direction of the throne room and had a slightly depressed while the other eye with friendly smiles went to the throne room. Luso followed them and before he knew it was in the throne room behind a long queue of applicants.
He had to push until he stood before Surasshu. "Tell me not that you are going to come from anyone who wishes to join our clan here?" He asked, annoyed but Surasshu nodded. Then you just heard a loud screaming and fleeing all the dungeons of the fortress. Then Surasshu asked him what that was. "It's simple: have you really think that one of them ever done a mission," he asked.
After that reported five people were left: two human girl, a wolf, a dragon and a slightly larger sergal standing behind them. ". We would like to apply ourselves to be members of your clan," said one of the girls and Surasshu immediately recognized that he had seen these before: back in Snow Rose, where a quiet drink their tea and the other as a around Fury cried.
The other three came up to him one also known: the Dragon Ryu, Shadow of the Wolf, but he did not know who was the sergal. "The Raio." Said Ryu and took a step to the left. Raio had blue-white coat and was wearing a sleeveless armor, plus a worn leather pants. Finally, still hanging from his belt a skirt that looked off at the lower ends quite tattered.
Then they introduced themselves by full name: the girls in school uniform hies Alice Redwood and girls in the purple dress hies Lyra Rose. Ryu's last name was Azulado, Shadows was the catcher and was Raio Sombra. Luso just nodded and said that these people are perfect. Then he took a great book and opened it, "This is a so-called clan book, in this book, all members of the clan can be entered..", Luso said.
"There is Surasshu the clan leaders, it must be entered on the first page. "Immediately Surasshu immortalized on the first page of the book with his name, age, date of accession, hometown and a photo. He was followed in Luso, then Ryu, Shadow, Raio, Lyra and finally Alice. Later, she told all of each other and why they joined the clan.
"We joined because we have been looking for years an appropriate clan." Said Raio Surasshu and Luso. "Lyra and Alice called in about the same reason, except that came with them to ensure that Alice was already in a clan, but this dungeon after a short time that he was too boring for her. "They have done nothing other than constantly from the same client to accept missions .... boring." She said, leaning back in her chair.
"And I'm actually not until recently when traveling." Added Alice hinzu.Shadow, Ryu and Raio said they were on a mission together and have then decided to form a group. "If I may ask again: should not this a little fortress ... well .... look inviting?" Ryu asked curiously what Surasshu responded that this building it a few days ago declared it their headquarters.
"Then let's make it from that ruin the coolest clan buildings throughout the region", struck Shadow before jumping up. The others looked at him puzzled at first but when they realized that the castle really a ruin for more than a headquarters resembled a clan all together they decided to accept his proposal. The very next day they began to renovate the building.
In the evening saw the fort almost as new: the towers were repaired completely, from the throne room has become a common room and the yard was again free of weeds. Even outside of the fort looked as if it were only a few years old. "As we have done a good job right?" Surasshu asked the other proud, could only agree with him.
"Maybe tomorrow, the first contracts are purely fluttered." Ryu said, smiling. And he was right: the next morning three pieces of paper hung on the gates of the fortress, which is one order per the list mentioned. At first there was talk of a city that is attacked by a robber volumes constantly and no further proof, as they have all been stolen and began to kidnap the inhabitants.
"We're going to take Surasshu." Said Surasshu Luso and nodded briefly. The next job is coming from a group of hunters who need help at one of their members. "I think because Ryu and I go out or Ryu?" Alice asked him, whereupon he agreed. Raio, Shadow and Lyra took the last order in which the speech of a gem, one of the most habene lady was recently stolen from her husband.
Asked, "That somehow just right?" Sounds annoyed Shadow could not say much more, because the others already had an order is placed. Before it all started, stopped Surasshu it again briefly. From a bag he took seven bracers, to which a character was engraved. "An arm splint for each of us." He said, and gave each one.
You put it on and then understood that represent what they want: from which clan they were. Then they split into different directions in which their Auftäge to lie. Alice and Ryu took the normal path across the street to her destination, Raio, Shadow and Lyra took the train as Surasshu and Luso.
"Everything we do is to bring back this gem I got that right?" She asked with a slight yawn Lyra. Shadow sat in his seat and tuned his guitar while Raio with a slight sigh replied: ". Is exactly what the job" Lyra threw her arms up and screamed only: "Boring" Then she lay down and fell asleep.
Was "It's really merkwüdig right?" Shadow said jokingly during Raios look at it further underlined by a sigh. Surasshu Luso and did the same thing as always when they were on the train: talk. "If we are right now you can also test your new sword do not you think so?", Luso asked encouragingly.
Then he looked at his sword, and wondered what could have it for special forces. "It was in a secret cave under a ruined city, which must be just something special!" He thought with a smile and put it away again. Then they talked on. "Hey Ryu, why are you wearing any shoes?" Alice asked, wondering as she looked at Ryu's bare feet.
"Shoes I find boring and oppressive." He replied. She looked only concern shrugged, his shoulders briefly and moved on. Then in the evening they sat at a small camp fire and wrapped themselves in their blankets. "What do you think about our Autrag Ryu? Sounds funny, a young hunter who distances himself from the others. "Began Alice.
"They probably need someone from outside because he did not want to entrust to them." Ryu said. In the middle of the night the train stopped and Luso Surasshu in a small town lying close to their destination. "By tomorrow morning we should be there.", Luso said, looking at the map. The cool evening breeze read Surasshu tremble a little, then shut of his jacket.
Around a few minutes later they made it on the road, again while the train went back behind them. "Tomorrow at noon we are at our destination, Shadow. I'd say we cut ourselves on the ear or "asked Raio Shadow, who was loud in the yawn. He just nodded, lay down and fell asleep. Raio took a pillow, placed it on the window and fell asleep.
"Tells you'll Ryu, I did not think that I received right after I exit from the other clan in another clan." Said Alice, and lay on his back, to look at the starry sky. "Neither do I.", he agreed and foments the fire a little. He retired from the upper part of his school uniform and then sat in a white shirt in front of the fire.
"Who do you think will be the first to go home?" She asked softly. Ryu heard this and said only that it will be because they will get the job done without problems! On Alice's face loomed a smile, which brought Ryu to smile. Then put the two sleep well and woke up even with the sunrise again.
She packed up her things and walked a mile-long march weiter.Nach they reached a camp, in which a pair of tents were pitched. When she entered it, no one was there, but as Alice stepped on a branch, you could hear, like bows and knives were drawn and pointed at them were. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Asked a man
The two went back to back, while the people were getting closer. "We come from the heart because of the dragon clan order." Ryu said and put his hand on the hilt of his katana. A second later, all weapons were withdrawn and the two were taken to the main tent of the camp. In it sat a man in a brown jacket, a short leather pants and hiking boots.
"I greet you. My name is Jarret and I am the leader of this Jäger troops. "He began, and asked the two to be translated. The two introduced themselves and asked for the mission that they bekamen.Jarret immediately started with the fact that there is a hunter among them who does not behave like the others. He's more alone on the road, chasing after a completely different pattern and is more interested in the ancient arts of hunting than for new ones.
"And what's so strange?" Said Ryu. "He is quite absent when he is with other young people on the hunt and has a curve that one rarely. It's almost as if he did not know how to handle it. "Jarret said and added that this boy is pretty tame for the interests of animals, although this is not practiced for decades, since it based on of new weapons was useless.
"And what's his name?" Alice asked as she stopped to talk reluctantly about someone whose name they do not even know. "His name is Rockwell and he should really be out in the fields when I should not be wrong." Jarret said, referring to the two fields away about a mile from the camp. Alice sighed as she heard this Entferung and stood up.
"Well then come on, Ryu.", She just sighed and walked. "Wait a minute, Alice, I have an idea how fast we are there." Suggested Ryu. He took her on his back and ran. "Thus it is really fast!", They cheered, holding on firmly to Ryu. The wind blew through her hair as she coped with the mileage within the shortest possible time. Ryu lies down Alice and together they went into the field.
"I wonder what someone here might devious? I do not mean much here. "Said Alice. "You're wrong, here is more than you can imagine." Ryu replied to her. "What do you mean?" She asked curiously. "Out here moves more determined than you can imagine." He answered, and Alice ran a chill down your spine.
"This is more rum than I could imagine, 'she thought stayed only timid and from that moment on her every move. As they stepped out of the field, they saw a herd of buffalo across the field or rannte.V them stood a boy who did not move. Ryu and immediately ran to Alice for him to save him, but it was too late: the buffalo were too close to him.
The boy raises his head briefly and looked closely at the herd. Then he ran to one of the buffalo, and before he reached him, he pressed his hand on his head. Immediately the animal remained standing and did not move and was thus a kind of shield for the boy. When the herd filed past them, he took his hand away and ran back to the buffalo herd.
The two were totally amazed at what they just saw. "How did he do it?" Said Ryu and looked at Alice with a slightly puzzled look. "I do not know." Said Alice, looking at the boy. He wore a brown hat that hung on the sides of white towels, a green sweater were rolled up their sleeves at the elbows to the long brown bracers, a gray-blue trousers and high boots purple.
To his shoulder hung a light brown bag and on his thigh hung a small dagger. He exhaled and turned around. Then he saw them and cringed for a moment. "Excuse us but we know?" He asked slowly. "No, we are of the Clan" Dragon Heart "on behalf of a member of your hunting party here." Ryu said. "Understand, then they do it really." He said and walked toward her.
"What do you mean?" Asked Alice. "They threatened that if I do not how they behave, they would rush me a clan on the neck would want to wash my head. Since her here because of that? If so then I ask you to go. "He said and walked past them. "Wait." Began to Ryu. "We are here because we will investigate the strange behavior of your members and for nothing else."
The boy turned and looked at the two now slightly interested. "Apparently you're this strange boy, Rockwell." Said Alice. "Jarret has betrayed you my name? Looks like him again. "Rockwell said annoyed. "So far five different Cläne were here to move me to once again become a normal fighter, but each of them could not convince me."
It took some time until the two learned more about Rockwell. He bezeichnit himself as "animist" and not as a fighter because he previously did some harm any animal. "As an animist, it is my duty to protect the animals." He said and sat down on the grass. "I kill only animals that are ready to die." The astonished the two even more. She sat down with him and asked him a further question: "Why are you here for these hunters?"
Rockwell sighed and answered: ".. Because I want to tame a dragon, so" "You want to tame a dragon, here in this area there are no dragons," said Ryu. "He is right. Look for a dragon here, let alone to take on one is like a needle in a haystack," agreed Alice to him and asked again about why he so slightly insane plan at all.
"These hunters do not know anything other than kill animals. They do not care if they suffer, or not. For this reason, I started to learn this ancient technique: taming the beast. She teaches you how precious life is and brings me closer to the animals. "Then he opened his bag and pulled a book with the inscription" the great dragon out of the lexicon ".
In it was every dragon race and where they were to each different season. "At this time of year the white mountain dragons are the go here in the area because it is too cold in the mountains." Said Rockwell. Alice wrinkled her forehead and just wondered, why then they do not stay the whole year instead of down on the mountains.
She wanted Ryu ask why, then read it again but when she realized that he did not really know why. A moment later stood on Rockwell and asked them if they could help him with his training. "I have to practice first on small animals, the volume otherwise it does not work." He said resolutely. "Actually, we're here for something else." Said Alice Ryu but he disagreed with the argument that perhaps she might recruit for their clan if that were here over.
Ryu agreed with her only concern. "I can not imagine that he would join us.", He just said. "Oh come on, two weeks Ryu.Vor you wanted to join a clan, and even now sometimes see. You are a member of a clan, and our job is out of the contracts also satisfy the recruitment of people," Alice explained in a tone that was already almost resembled an announcement of a teacher.
But Ryu wanted to follow this approach no longer speak again and agreed to the idea, Rockwell ask after the end of the mission for a membership in their clan.
