Chapter 38- Reaching the City

[Keeno POV]

After cooking and eating a very good lunch, Pram and I packed up once more and made it as far as we could before the day came to an end. We decided to camp out on the top of a hill where we could see the city Hildr spoke about in the far distance.

“Keeno.” (Pram)

“What’s up?” (Keeno)

“I think we need to skip setting up and get to the city. I’m getting a bad feeling about tonight.” (Pram)

“Oh? What kind of bad feeling?” (Keeno)

“Not sure, it’s nothing related to monsters since we’d both be able to tell something about that.” (Pram)

“Alright.” (Keeno)

We quickly packed up the few things we had set up and started making our way toward the city again at a faster pace.

“Think Hildr will be fine?” (Keeno)

“Who knows. It’s too late to go back and find them. We just have to hope they are.” (Pram)

About an hour after we started to head to the city again, the clouds above us started to get darker and the wind picked up even more.

“A blizzard.” (Keeno)

“A big one too.” (Pram)

“If we get stuck out here when it starts, stick close to me Pram. Ama, if it gets too bad, you need to lead us toward the city.” (Keeno)

{Heard loud and clear.}

We started to pick up the pace even more when snow started to fall. That was when we started running. The city was still far, but we were making good ground when I heard a crash near us. I looked around and saw a big chunk of ice that wasn’t there before.

“Damn it, it’s there’s hail this time!” (Keeno)

“Well, we didn’t expect a blizzard. We were going to camp out one more night.” (Keeno)

“Fair enough. If you aren’t from around this part of Solheim, then you wouldn’t really know how rapid the weather changes here. Anyway, if I was the two of you, I’d hurry and get to an inn before it actually gets bad.”

“Before that, what’s you name?” (Pram)

“Hmm. Name’s Tyr. Now get going.” (Tyr)

We both nodded and left the gate area. As we went further into the city we saw people scrambling around to close up shops, pick up signs, close window shutters. We managed to ask some people about an inn and quickly made our way to the one we were hastily recommended. At this point the snow and small hail was coming down heavily. Once we found the inn, we basically kicked the door in before slamming it shut behind us. This elicited brief glares from a few people, but other than that no one really said anything. We walked up to the reception desk and rented a room to wait out the storm.

Chaos Realm:

Luna: That looked so fun. Tamamo, is there any place back home where we can try to outrun storms like that?

Tamamo: I can think of a few places. Let’s go try one of them next time we go on a date.

Luna: Yay!

It really does sound like fun. What do you think, Order?

Order: I wouldn’t really care for running, but I think it’d be nice to be carried by you while you did so.

I can arrange that.

Luna: Look at those two flirting away, Tamamo.

Tamamo: Indeed. Though I wonder, where is Astraea?

She’s been over at Evelyn’s. Apparently the two of them are having fun poking around Crisis’s domain and all the random things that pop up there. Honestly, it makes it seem that place is more chaotic than here.

Order: Well, it probably is. I mean, I am here after all.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Order: Hehehe. Oh you.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
