Chapter 42- Vinswill

Nork looked up at Tru and his anger easier slightly. He stared at the ground for a while in silence.

"Thank you, Tru. I don't know how I can repay you." said Nork as his eyes filled with water. Tru sat back down and looked to the sky and saw it was lit up with stars.

"Honestly" said Tru "Don't worry about I believe that fate is everything and it was in mine to do this."

"AHAHAHAHAHA! Fate is everything?" laughed Nork loudly that it shook Tru's insides. "I guess I will give it to fate for you saving me and helping me get vengeance my son against Rath Gul.

"Speaking of Rath Gul, you said earlier that he was working with some suspicious people. You know who they are or what they want?" asked Tru.

Nork quickly shook his head and took out a small vial filled with purple liquid. "All I know is that they had this, and lots of it." said Nork then threw the bottle to Tru.

He caught it and used Ifrit's Mana Soul to examine the contents of the bottle.

*DING*

Item Name: Raging Blood

Rank: ???

Item Description: "A strange man made purple liquid. Consumption drives the consumer mad with rage and makes them highly aggressive."

"That is right" said Tru "I have seen this liquid before.l

"You have?" asked Nork with wide eyes. Tru nodded o n response and threw the bottle into the fire. The vial bursted open causing the flame to burn violet for a brief second.

"Yeah but I am not sure exactly where it come from but I have seen the effects of it personally." explained Tru.

"I overheard them talking with Rath Gul and heard them refer to themselves as the Seekers of Oblivion." said Nork.

Tru scoffed and stood up from his seat and kicked over his chair. Shadow jolted awake and slittherd into the hut to continue its sleep.

"I am guessing that you must have heard of them?" asked Nork cautiously.

"Damn right I have heard of them! Even spent time with some of them. Though I was told of their doings but I didn't truly believe." said Tru as he laid on the grass and watched the stars again.

"Not to mention they took someone I knew and I need to go save him but that is going to have to wait." mumbled Tru as he closed his eyes.

In the darkness he could see the golden serpent eyes staring back at him, mocking him. He quickly opened homos eyes and sat up and saw Nork still sitting quietly by the fire.

He looked at Tru who had sweat pouring from his face. "Are you ok Tru?" asked Nork.

"Uh yeah…yeah I'm fine. You aren't tired?" asked Tru as he wiped his face.

"No, I am not. I have a lot—"

"peelS-Fi" said Tru when suddenly Nork's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell asleep. Tru picked him up and carried him to the hut where Shadow was and laid him on the bed.

"Sleep well Nork. You need it." said Tru. He then turned to Shadow and picked up the sleeping serpent and placed it on his shoulders. It wasted no time and wrapped a round Tru's neck tight like a scarf.

"Hahaha, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep bud." claimed Tru as he rubbed the sleeping Shadow's head. He exited the hut and began waking becam towards The Grove Of Arachnids.

"Why did you use Primal Speech on that brute?" asked Wrath "You must be careful to who you expose that power to not everyone is going to have good intentions."

"I know but to be honest I could not take looking at his sad and angry face anymore. Besides he needed the rest." retorted Tru.

Using Ifrit's Mana Soul Tru's eyes lit up like lanterns through the dark forest. Agai nhe saw very minimal magical beasts through out the forest.

"Just where the hell are all the magical beasts at?" asked Tru as he passed through several thick spider webs.

"Maybe it's your ugly face that is scaring them off" teased Wrath "Don't worry it happens to some individuals. Sorry it had to be you."

"Oh trust I'm sure you love looking at my face you just hate to admit it" retorted Tru. "One day you'll come to appreciate my 'ugly' face."

"Ha! Yes I have to admit you are easy on the eyes but for a suitor you are lacking quite a bit." said Wrath.

"Oh really what am I lacking then?"

"Money, Power, land. These are just the tip of the iceberg of what you need to even think of courting me" said Wrath jokingly.

"Hmmm" said Tru "What if I did you one better?"

"Oh really? How so?"

"What if I find away to give you a new body?" asked Tru. Wrath did not immediately reply and the silence ensued at he continued his journey.

"Hello?" said Tru "Don't tell me you died, I was just asking."

"No no my mistake, I was just thinking about what you said. How it would feel to actually have a body again and not be just a soul blind to a weapon." said Wrath, her voice was soft and calm.

"Well then it's settled I'll find you a new body." said Tru.

"looF-Fi! Sure but do not blame me if you fail. I did not ask you to do this." retorted Wrath but was unable to hide the happiness in her speech.

*DING*

Mission: New Body for Wrath

Rank: ???

Description: "You have offered to find wrath a new body. Find an away to restore her to the realm of the living."

Reward: ???

'Well I guess it's official then.' thought Tru as he closed the notification. 'Problem is where do I even start?!'

He grumbled to himself when he saw that he was nearing another settlement. It looked to be a small farming village full of humans.

"Guess this must be the place Madneas told me about." said Tru.

"Madneas?" asked Wrath "Who in the Diety within Us is that?! How could they possibly have known this was here."

Tru ignored her plight and continued through the village. People stopped and gave him stares while others whispered. They all stared at him when a dusty lottle girl ran up to him. She looked to be about seven and had brown hair. Her clothes were disshovled and holey.

"Hi sir, sorry to bother you but my name is Marslia. Do you think you can spare a few Zil? My father is in debt and I'm trying to save our smithy!" shouted Marslia.

"Ugh" scoffed Wrath "A beggar child. Quickly shoo them away and give her nothing! Just seeing her makes my skin crawl!"

'Shush and look pretty for a moment. She's a child, no need to be rude' retorted Tru.

"Fine whatever. Do what you want! You will not catch me giving out a single coin!" said Wrath.

Tru bent down and reached in his ouch and took out a hand full of Zil. He placed the Zil in Marslia's hands and watched as her eyes grew bright.

"Really, sir?! All this for me?" asked Marslia with a big smile. Tru nodded as he patted her head.

"Yes this is all yours under two conditions."

"Ok, sir whatever you need!" exclaimed Marslia. Seeing her quickly agree told Tru that Marslia was a bit naive but he paid it no mind.

"First is there a place where I can get some rest?" asked Tru.

Marslia pointed towards a building near the center of the village. "Yes there is an inn right over there, it's cheap too."

"Good good" said Tru "Now this second thing is important, ok? Tomorrow come find me at the inn and take me to your smithy, alright?"

"Alright!" shouted Marslia then she ran off disappearing into the town. Tru chuckled to himself and walked to the inn. He entered and was greeted by the smiling face of the clerk which quickly turned sour.

To the clerk Tru looked like a red demon and Blasphemy didn't he'll that image at all. The clerk felt herself becoming nervous as he slowly strides towards her.

"G-G-Good evening sir welcome to the Vinswill Inn. Looking for a room for the night?" nervously asked the Clerk.

Tru could seen the fear on her face and sighed deeply in annoyance. "How much for a night?"

"J-Just 4 Zil per night, sir."

Tru took out another hand full of Zil and placed it on the counter. "I'll take a room on the highest floor." said Tru as he walked up the stair.

The clerk counted the Zil and saw that Tru gave her too much. She then ran after him and stopped him.

"Sir uh, you gave me entirely too much." said the Clerk. Tru turned around and looked at her as his amber eyes caused her to draw back slightly.

"Oh is that right? Then keep the change. Have a good night now."
