Chapter 7 - The Trader

I look to the boy and the man.

"Is this your Father?"

He nods.

"Let me see his wound."

The Boy move aside but not far...

From the look of it, no arteries or organs seem damaged. he'll need a drink of healing to stop any infection and quicken recovery. luckily I was given one before leaving the town.

I look back at the boy whilst pouring the drink to his father.

"This'll help."

The Kid gave a sigh and a face of relief and happiness... I would to knowing my father weren't dead or going to die.

"Thank you" the boy says quietly...

"Your Father will wake soon. I'm now just going to move him to the wagon to rest ok?"

The boy nods again.

whilst waiting i should ask the kid his name...

He tells me his name is Alfie and his Father in John.

Their a Family of traders who started up a while years ago. They were heading to their Aunt in Radeon City. "The with towers reaching to the clouds" Alfie said. He seems excited.

Whilst he talked about what he knew of the trading business his father sits up confused and dazed

"what. was it a dream?" he seems to be speaking to himself not noticing me or his boy...

"It's real.." me and Alfie say.

He quickly turns but it causes him to hunch over. Seems the pain still lingers. "go slow now. i healed the flesh but the muscle is still torn."

he slows his movement, his Pain begins to calm down. 

Quick and deep breaths...

He looks to his son then at me.

"Thank you." His words felt so sincere.

"Its no Problem... It's quite dark now so rest. I'll look out for monsters and wild animals." I say as I look back and forth to both of them.

They both nod in agreement with them both heading to their dreams... I'd rather stay awake and remember the air I breathe and the light my eyes take in.

The Hours go by with no sight of bandits or any wild creatures...

The clouds go by with slight rain hitting the ground.

Each splat on the mud, the stone, and my clothes, my skin making it colder. These Sounds I haven't heard in a long time... I think I used to dislike the rain. Hard to remember back then... Now. Now I don't think i mind...

The sun slowly rose with hues of gold, red, and purple tints the sky was truly something that hell lacked.

As it turned from dawn to morning, I decided to create some potions with herbs and Willow Bark nearby. Keeping the trader family in sight.

Alfie woke up first seeing me sat upon a rock. "morning" he said. I reply the same

"What you making?"

"I'm making a potion to help your father with the pain on your travel to Radion." I told him as we walked to his father. Alfie Pokes his father to wake him.

For the next Hour The Father was waking up and getting used to the pain. The Boy busy watching his father and me making the remedy.

I walk towards the father and kneel down in to him. "Take this and you'll make it to Radion in about... 2 Hours tops. Oh and this"

I gave him one of the bandits Flintlocks, Their ammunition, powder and fabric. 

"If you keep the this road then you shouldn't have any trouble" I Gave off my Killing Intent. the road should be clear for a week.

The Father nods and shakes my hand. "I'm In your debt sir. If or when might I say we meet again ill show my full and honest gratitude"

I look back as the boy wave and shouts bye as he walks with his father. I wave back as I go further to Leno. To Abel.

-On the coast of the island of Demons-

Daniel has made it to shore. The Roar of Fazrog Still Humming with the sound of hash clashing of wind and sea.

"Welcome to the Settlement!" A man shouts from the far end of the Docks. " This way!"

Those who are passengers follow whilst crew stay to tie the boat to shore...

The ground is more stone than Mud, Dirt or grass And yet The trees grow to 20 Meters tall. a Jungle made from a stone base... The passengers are sent to the closet Inn and told to stay there till the storm lets...
