47 C47 The Town of Baski

While Baski was a town in decline, one look inside the heart of the city could not give a sense of decline but a prosperous town with many people enjoying life. While the sun was fading into the background, dusk was the perfect time for everyone as the stalls remained open, dancers roamed the streets as celebrations took place as the traders, adventurers and mercenaries enjoyed the vibrant nightlife.

Only outside the centre of the city did the atmosphere change, while the central trading area was packed and alive. The outside was dying and lonely, many old buildings on the outskirts abandoned as the sand rolled forward, choking the farmland that used to be so fertile, dead husks of trees that once belonged to the orchards that grew much fruit.

Along the many paths coming into the city stood massive pillars that rose into the sky, each one dwarfing the buildings that stood near them. Everyone a monument to a time that had passed before.

Nathan sat up front with his companions as he looked at the ruined buildings, sand covering the lands with a sorry expression on his face as he could see the old fertile soils dying out to the sands.

"This place is dying out. This place used to have lush farmlands that fed many."

Nathan spoke as he looked at the land around him, Auryn looking as well as she felt a pain in her heart. This land reminded her of her heartland in the north, frozen wastes as the snow covered her crops same as the sand here.

"Can we do anything to this land?"

Nathan looked to Auryn who spoke; he could see her heart twitching in pain as he let out a small sigh. He would open his menu, looking at his current status.

========================================

He kept his eyes on the amount of dominion amount, the small amount remaining did not allow him to do anything permanent. His plans would not allow him to even help this place as he wanted all these people to come live with him in his own land.

"Auryn. Anything we do here will not last. The power of the Goddess of Dusk is the reason the land is choking. We really can't do anything too permanent till the walls come down and the vortex becomes free."

Auryn looked to him, clearly unhappy with this response, her heart still hurting as she wanted to do something for these people. She would stare at the God with faith as she knew if it was someone like him then maybe he could.

"Auryn, please that look is making me nervous. I have some plans but this life here is doomed without heavy intervention. I've only recently arrived and the best bet would be for these men and women to come back to our sanctuary."

Auryn nodded her head, looking up to the man with respect as she continued to look out at the wasteland around her.

"I want a place with no worries and problems. I want a place were people can finally settle down and live without having to fear and run."

She spoke while looking dead ahead, her voice filled with worry as she simply wanted what was best for the people under her care and her entire family. She had a plan right now and she would accomplish what she needed to do.

The carriage would pull into one of the sides of the street, Nathan Kaye and Kai getting off together as everyone let out a deep sigh of relief, finally in a safe town and able to rest.

"Kaye, do you know which place has the hot spring."

Kaye looked at the man as she then looked up towards the highest part of the town, sitting on one of the hills overlooking the town was a rather old manor, iron wrought fencing around it with a rather rustic and charming look to it.

While looking old it still was maintained and looked weathered but nice. It's trees full crimson red leaves that hung from the ancient trees.

Nathan, Kaye and Auryn followed along, leaving the remaining two to store the carriage for the evening.

Following the path up to the estate, two guards flanking the entrance. As they approached the iron gates slowly began to swing open, guards standing to the side as a group of woman approached them, each one dressed in a white robe with black long hair, everyone almost looking identical in the hairstyle, height, clothing and even movement.

Stepping in front was someone slightly different than the pack of clones, slightly taller with long black hair, eyes crimson with hunger and pain as she stared at them.

Nathan and Auryn both felt chills coming as they saw these woman, surrounded by magic. Each of them staring at them with a look of hunger.

Kaye seemed totally oblivious, all she could see was a bunch of different women, each one with a happy smile. They all looked ready to serve. Each one with a unique and interesting hairstyle that made her slightly jealous.

"Kaye, you seem to be happy, what do you see with these women?"

Kaye was confused as she heard the strange thing from the man, though she would simply just take a moment to answer truthfully.

"Well, they are all beautiful women with different hairstyles, each having interesting but foreign styles of clothing. It seems very inclusive to me."

She would look to Nathan concerned, the woman standing at the head of the pack also staring at him with interest as well as the same hunger and pain laced in as she had realised her illusion had failed to work on him.

"Because you are seeing an Illusion, Kaye."

He sighed as he had nothing against these women, but he knew a trap when he saw one.

"They are vampires."
