Caleb seeing these two pikes quickly shuffled backwards using both hands to crawl backwards still facing the guards he saw one burley muscular man with a hard set dark complexion and another was a lighter skinned and lithe with a softer complexion thank the muscular giant.
The 2 guards shouted something indecipherable and as they did they pushed the pikes more menacingly at Caleb who was sprawled and scared on the floor, Caleb quickly put both hands up in surrender and slowly raised himself looking for an opportunity to run.
The faces of the guards contorted with anger but there was a slight hint of fear in their eyes
The guards still shouted something incomprehensible
'System it would be a good time for some fucking help'

With a quick burning in the frontal lobe of his head and a shudder, the words Caleb could understand
"Speech now! , STATE YOUR PURPOSE "
"Just a passer by "
The two guards looked at each other with confusion and questioning glances at the ragged man who appeared before them
The Burley man sighed hard and looked toward the smaller guard
"What's the fucking point ,just get rid of him , Anyway what is a fucking foreigner doing here?"
"We can't just leave him out here even if he is a foreigner"
With a glance towards Caleb he was sweating hard with strakes of sweat falling down his brow ,he felt like running away, escaping while he still could
"Can you understand me boy"
Caleb nodded
"Where are you from "
Caleb point at himself wearing a confused face still shaken by the 2 pikes which still were held near him but now without too much gusto anymore
"Yes you ya baffoon who the fuck else "
"Hey ,no need to be rude"
Caleb still glaring at the 2 guards pointed at the forest
"You are from the ...forest?"
Caleb nodded hard
"He is bullshiting you "
Caleb stared daggers in protest
"Leave him alone "
"Fineeeeee"
Both of the guards swiftly with a trained movement put the pikes twirled them upwardsand stabbed them into the ground
The nicer one approached with arms outstretched
"See i have nothing on me, no need to be scared"
Relived Caleb nodded in response but as he did the world suddenly what he saw around him changed and his perspective was now on the floor
"Sorry about this "
Confused Caleb shook around, the other guard bodied him to the ground and he couldn't budge from the guard's grip
Caleb stared at the guard who said everything was going to be ok , he so wanted to speak his mind but as the thought came up he was picked up and hauled like a sack onto the bigger guards back
Caleb shook around in protest
"Should we take him to the barracks "
"No too much work ,take him to old granny she can handle it"
Caleb shook around trying to shake out but failed miserably and just stared at the frailer looking guard
"Welcome to the frontier outpost"
