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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgxWZQcWOu
“Yer right about that Geardweli. I never meant to show min face to ye lot.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQafMRAqXxc
“Haha, and this explains the number of our siblings at Gestel plains. Why? Do you wish to open up the borders? Let them in?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2BpqRFcjB
“Exactly my intention.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb4QpalrOD
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9jtl366Ow
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNDRuRR6pU
“Violence!? Oh ye jest—”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEyXzFlQod
“Alongadol met death many times and always manage to win over it. But now, what happened?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCpUVOO4FD
“He met a different kind of death. Killed him in an instant.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qn9tkGG5f
“But his roots are intact. I checked,”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZbhak2ocu
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2ulq5pHiL
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…”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXLqI7waxD
“Calm down Peacock, keep an open eye and let me know if ye feel something approaching.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9mzXS0yJe
The bird nods and shrinks himself to perch on the lady’s shoulders.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSbTzvp5Oh
“Peacock is not enemy” Olwan tells to the Nautrens
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBODmjowPJs
“But a potential suspect” Geardwell adds, “Its children are all the same!”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2185OhrAk
“Where are Hommafrið and Philomena?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7nTLjo26D
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrccH3a70H1
“Then tell me where I can find them.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eQENmOeoI
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkWcXgQd7L
“I do not plan to do anything for ye.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvgxgKz0QM
“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—"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFUSuL8Kox
“No, I will not do.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxETyAbnztW
“Let me finish” gritting his teeth before grinning, “And you will be able to bring Pebe with you.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkef8FXfu
“Pebe…? Ye rotten lizard, ye better did not do anything to Pebe.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFxHFDWs9H
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnQUXkzyk0
“…”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5xNSzXqV
“I’ll take the silence as a yes. Follow me and I will tell along the way.” Geardwell turns and walks towards the upstairs.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhwsWhufo
Peacock holds onto Olwan’s leg saying, “Hey, hey, you cannot leave me here. They will kill me.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNZZmR3Tne
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMVitJg71Q
“Pebe the criminal is back? Nautriarch Synwyn?” Escar questions before bowing,
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTA8RAcdI
Synwyn only raises her hand before walking for the upstairs, leaving Escar unanswered.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnJSH73v0P
“Hm…I must have said something to upset her much” Escar says and turns to the trio hugging each other.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu51XORVvg
“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…”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUkhhejs6l
“Then we go to a moonspring” Isaac says,
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBK2bIGvPB
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1M18Wugh
“Then, we hit a slump…”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4bVv39GJQ
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD2UjJrrGA
“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?”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8MpuwfkSo
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWoBgRKyyJ
“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.”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3FZDEpis
“Ah…ahaha…ha…” Amerie rubs her cheeks, “Looks like we do not need to say anything where we should go next”
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO7QIpseow
“Right” Escar nods, “Trust me. I know how we can approach a Nautriarch.”
