~~~(Time: 6:30 PM)~~~
I dive down from our high altitude, and we level out before reaching the vige. I spread my wings out ande to aplete stop. We''re right outside the vige, and I notice the most prominent building here is a yer Cathedral. This is a good sign.
However, we haven''t gone unnoticed. A few kids have seen usnd, and they quickly rush back into the vige. The distinctive dark skin of the children shows how long the people indigenous to this area have been living under the sun.
"You see it too?"
A simple nod from me is all Sally needs. We eventually make it into the town, and people are staring as we walk by. I doubt this ce has any shops since it''s so small.
That doesn''t mean there isn''t anyone who has the answers we seek. After a few minutes of walking slowly, we make it to the center of the vige. We''re not alone as we get here. There are men and women dressed in armor.
They''re ready for a fight. In the center is a tall and buff man, likely the leader of the vige. He draws his sword and points it in our direction. They don''t know who I am, which I can use to my benefit.
This ce is cut off from the rest of the world. At least, the Kingdom it''s a part of. Instead of reacting in an equivalent manner, I slowly raise my arms to the side of my head.
Showing that I surrender. Sally follows suit, and some of the people across from us rx a little. But the leader still has his de drawn. I''m not going to hurt these people. They don''t know any better. They''re as innocent as they can be.
"We''re not here to hurt anyone. We just want information. The name of the Kingdom we''re in, and the vige we''re in would be a great help."
All the warriors remain stoic as I slowly talk. In truth, they might not know anything. But the yer Cathedral in the vige tells me another story. They know we''re yers. That much is certain. We look nothing like them, so it makes sense.
They''re not responding to my announcement of no hostility. There is a chance they don''t understand me. If that''s the case, this is gonna be much harder than I''d want it too.
"Can you understand us?"
Sally asks the question before I can. They don''t react at first. But after a couple of seconds, a woman with a crazy-looking headdresses from the crowd. She''s almost naked and covered in tattoos. She slowly steps forward and is in the middle between us, the group of warriors.
"We understand. Far from where you belong, white ones. Thesends are not suited for the people of great civilizations. The fact you''ve survived this long is a testament to your strength."
From the sounds of it, the kids that saw us haven''t told anyone that I can fly. There are many ways I could y this. I could lie to them and get the answers that I need, or I can be honest. It''ll take longer to do it the honest way.
However, I don''t know how they''d react if they found out we lied. I don''t want to end up killing anyone here. That''s not why I came.
<o>,m "That''s good. I''m d that we canmunicate. In truth, traveling in thesends isn''t that difficult for us. We''re just a little lost. If you can point us in the direction of the nearest city, we''d leave you alone."</o>
I step forward slightly as I talk, and more weaponse out as I do. But the tattooeddy raises her hand. Signaling the people shouldn''t move.
"There is something very different about you. I see it when I look at you. The air... The ground... They sing and weep in your presence. Who are you? No mortal man has an effect on such elements."
These people are more in tune with the world around them. I don''t know what she means by the air and ground singing and weeping. I also don''t know if she''s the only one that can see this. It''s safe to bet she is. No one else has given any proof they can.
"It''s safer for all of you if you remain unaware of who I really am."
This tiny vige can''t protect itself from the monsters and people that are in the shadows watching me. It''s better if they remain in the dark about me.
"We''ll be the judge of whether or not we should know. Speak."
That''s counter-intuitive. But I don''t see any other way out of this while avoiding bloodshed. They''re ready to defend and die for the safety of their vige. They perceive me as a threat to that.
"Fine, but don''t say I didn''t warn you."
I toggle my wings back on, and theye out of my back. They have the same golden look and glow. The same intimidating aura. Some of the vigers step back and try to brace themselves for a fight. Most people fully draw their weapons.
Thedy that''s been speaking on behalf of the vige starts to walk toward me. After a second, she starts to walk around me. Inspecting my wings for the most part. I''m d Sally isn''t making a thing out of this. Given how naked thisdy is.<sub> </sub>
"You''re not a mortal, but one of Divine blood. We''ve heard your name on the wind and in the water. Raduerial."
Again, the truth that''s unknown to mees back to bite me in the ass. They all see how unhappy I am at being addressed in such a way. Not using my real name, or perhaps they are using my real name. But I don''t want to think about that.
"You dislike being called Raduerial. You''ve gone by many names, but in thends where all life started. You''re known by the name you were given at birth."
Sally moves closer to me as I flex my wings and reach for The Witness. Prepared for battle. I do not want to hurt anyone here, but when I hear that name, I get angry.
"Stop calling me that."
The edge and anger in my voice make it clear I''m not messing around. Thedy takes a few steps back but with confidence. She smiles and spreads out her arms.
"This is a cause for celebration. Thest time our home was blessed by a Divine one was time uncounted before."
Sally and I both look around, confused, as everyone does a 180 in their attitudes. Everyone puts their weapons away. Cheering and dancing with each other. Thedy has her eyes locked on the two of us, and I feel she knows more than she''s letting on.
The fact she knows about Raduerial is already a red g, but to say that a Divine one has been here before is rms going off in my head.
"What do you think we should do?"
She leans in and starts to whisper.
"We y along, they''re the only ce miles around that have information that could help us. But if things start getting weird, we''ll make a quick exit."
Thest thing I want to do is find myself in a trap. While it''s unlikely, I''m getting a weird feeling from this.
"Come, we''ll head to the spicene."
Thedy walks forward and holds out both her hands for Sally and me to take. I don''t know what this spicene is, or what we''ll do once we''re there. I''ve never even heard of spice. I don''t know what they''re nning to do.
People this remote and small have strange customs. I wouldn''t doubt spice is some kind of drug or hallucinogen.
