25 The Army Camp(1)

It was the siren bird's cooing that woke both of us in the morning.Aaah! That fresh feeling you have when you wake up amidst the wilderness is just awesome! When the time came, me and electra bid good bye and moved on.While she rejoined her group,I went ahead to the army border.The climate was humid and felt like it could rain anytime soon.So I had to move faster. Within an hour or so,I successfully entered the military border.That long fence line... I did cross it without being caught by anyone. The victory's charisma was glowing in my face when suddenly a drop of water fell on my face from the sky.Then a minute later a few more followed until it actually was raining quite heavily...

Rain...That blissful feeling... it made me relax for a moment and I enjoyed being covered in mud. That's when a horse rider passed by following another one.It kind of looked like they where patrolling to check for any damage happening due to the rain. I used mud to camouflage and it worked well until one guy who followed accidentally went above me on his horse.On reflex I let out a shriek.I wasn't hurt badly but my arm was injured a little.Because of this they noticed me! And even if I ran I couldn't out pass them.

They confronted me.And I said to them that I was traveler who wanted to see this beautiful kingdom of Seraphim.I don't know whether they believed me or not.I was just trying my luck. Then they discussed something with their eyes and asked me to get on a horse.I had no choice so did as they asked!

I was hoping they won't lead me to a dungeon.I've heard that the dungeons in Seraphim are scarier than the hell.But they took me to an army camp. They then presented me in front of a General. By the looks of this General... he does not seem too old for the post,infact he could be around my age I think,he's quite charming with that long black hair.Who are you? he asked me and I repeated what I said to the others nonchalantly but only I knew how much my heart was hoping him to buy it and have mercy on my life!
