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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFktREuwzU
“Yer right about that Geardweli. I never meant to show min face to ye lot.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFEBJrRtlb
“Haha, and this explains the number of our siblings at Gestel plains. Why? Do you wish to open up the borders? Let them in?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn7ux6Wc5J
“Exactly my intention.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdxu4jgPL
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPPngyIk4o
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZiqnozKdM
“Violence!? Oh ye jest—”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDGE6eoT5u
“Alongadol met death many times and always manage to win over it. But now, what happened?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjS5wGZPgL
“He met a different kind of death. Killed him in an instant.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJKKbLEqDn
“But his roots are intact. I checked,”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz9kcfRWdo
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA4W7K3JWv
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…”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJk38DfoAc
“Calm down Peacock, keep an open eye and let me know if ye feel something approaching.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oULHQGYFQ
The bird nods and shrinks himself to perch on the lady’s shoulders.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ydAgOktF
“Peacock is not enemy” Olwan tells to the Nautrens
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmfmMftdQN
“But a potential suspect” Geardwell adds, “Its children are all the same!”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USL9GgRIC
“Where are Hommafrið and Philomena?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaqPUptfIs
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIpFvFoyzS
“Then tell me where I can find them.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdtSATbUt
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMHl21q7H
“I do not plan to do anything for ye.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CPyDg6OpC
“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—"
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz789x4hJM
“No, I will not do.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokHtrF30D0
“Let me finish” gritting his teeth before grinning, “And you will be able to bring Pebe with you.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zIibrJEo
“Pebe…? Ye rotten lizard, ye better did not do anything to Pebe.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJh06PzKmN
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTkixA5BUC
“…”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGkYPfF5rT
“I’ll take the silence as a yes. Follow me and I will tell along the way.” Geardwell turns and walks towards the upstairs.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywVOYOas8w
Peacock holds onto Olwan’s leg saying, “Hey, hey, you cannot leave me here. They will kill me.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8s5P5ZHI
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsVRx3DoQ8
“Pebe the criminal is back? Nautriarch Synwyn?” Escar questions before bowing,
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFD8HuEr3H
Synwyn only raises her hand before walking for the upstairs, leaving Escar unanswered.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fZSp7RiWg
“Hm…I must have said something to upset her much” Escar says and turns to the trio hugging each other.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYe59oJgVb
“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…”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTIgwzdxQ
“Then we go to a moonspring” Isaac says,
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrf4Zn8Nvo
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPCTUCyuuJ
“Then, we hit a slump…”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUmZabeNWj
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbUNEXLQUt
“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?”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2CMkuGlzP
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6OU5WNtEz
“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.”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7EF9YVQgr
“Ah…ahaha…ha…” Amerie rubs her cheeks, “Looks like we do not need to say anything where we should go next”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZDcSQ6PHv
“Right” Escar nods, “Trust me. I know how we can approach a Nautriarch.”
