Chapter 11: Home

The sun shined strongly, as a subtle breeze shuffled the wagon back and forth.

"Hey Zeida... I think you might have gone over board" Rheila called out, noticing both bjorn and graum were still out cold.

"Eh, maybe." Zeida chuckled from the drivers seat. "Heh or maybe even their dead..." Zeida whispered under her breath as she began to breath heavily.

The idea of accidentally killing brought zeida a sick sense of pleasure. For a Devil such as Zeida, the prospect of sin tantalized her imagination.

"What was that?" Rheske asked hearing Zeida murmur something under her breath.

"Oh just the thought of me going overboard... and you two spooning two dead guys" Zeida erupted in laughter.

"Well mine is to warm to be dead" Rheske pouted unimpressed by Zeida's joke.

Rheske curiously turned to see Rheila's reaction. Rheila's face turned bright red at the thought of spooning Bjorn's dead body.

"Hey look we are almost there!" Zeida called back to them as the towering city walls of the capital came into view.

"Every time I see them they look so beautiful" Rheila remarked with a dazzling expression.

"Agreed, but they aren't as beautiful as you sissy" Rheske fawned over her beloved sister.

"Knock it off. Everyone knows you're the beautiful one" Rheila embarrassingly blushed.

"It's actually been established that Rheila is the beautiful one, while Rheske is the adorably cute one" Zeida called out from the front, throwing in her bits of wisdom.

The capital walls grew bigger as they approached. It took no time before the wagon reached the gate.

"Hold" a guard called out, gesturing with one hand to stop the wagon.

"Good evening, sir." Zeida responded slowing the wagon to a halt.

"What brings you... and your party to Aelhyrst?" The guardsman asked noticing the two unconscious men in the back of the wagon.

"Guild business. On behalf of New Zenith. Ranked-A adventurer: Zeida, sir." Zeida introduced her self holding up a metal tag verifying her identity.

The gold tag had her rank, name, and guild name along with the guild masters signature of authenticity.

"Ah I see" the guard looked over the legitimacy of the tag. "Everything is in order, please proceed" he waved them on,allowing them to enter the city.

The wagon jutted forward as it picked up speed, slowly entering the capital city of Aelhyrst. After a sluggish trek, the wagon finally made its way from the gate to the new zenith guildhall. The commute took about 20 minutes from the gate to the guild hall.

"Alright you two, take our 'guests' to their room, I gotta return this wagon back to those farmers" Zeida stopped the wagon infront of the guildhall.

"Hold on, you aren't going to help?" Rheila cried out in surprise.

"Um, no." Zeida harshly replied

"That's rude" Rheske scoffed trying to pick up graum.

"Teamwork kids, teamwork" Zeida chuckled avoiding involvement.

"That one we can handle" Rheila gestured at graum. "But this one... probably weighs a ton" she followed up gently kicking Bjorn's plate body.

"It doesn't matter to me. Roll them, Drag them for all I care, just get them out of the wagon." Zeida gestured for the twins to hurry up.

"Sissy, lets just get them out of the wagon, we will figure out how to get them downstairs after" Rheske suggested.

"Sure but how?" Rheila shrugged.

"Like this" Rheske shuffled over to bjorn pushing him with all her little might, off the edge of the wagon.

-Kathunk-

Bjorn's platemail protected him from the fall.

"Good job-" zeida held her thumb up in approval "-I approve"

"RHESKE!!! How could you?" Rheila shrieked in fright at the hideous sound of Bjorn's body armor crashing onto the ground.

"It's not like he felt it..." Rheske paused turning her attention to graum "That won't work with this one" she finished.

"Sure it will, watch" zeida said jumping into the back of the wagon then pushing graum off of the wagon.

-kathunk-

Graum fell onto Bjorn's platemail.

"You two are terrible" Rheila sighed.

"Sure sure, well I gotta get going" Zeida replied hopping back into the drivers seat scarring the horses into taking off.

"I guess we'll drag them in one at a time"Rheila sighed grabbing Graums arm.

Rheske followed her sisters lead and grabbed Graum's other arm, and together they dragged him into the guild. Nobody was around, the guild hall was empty. They made their way down stairs to the dungeon.

"Alright let's put those on him." Rheila gestured to the chains hanging in the wall.

Rheske nodded in agreement. After they secured graum they repeated the process with bjorn. It took a little more time with bjorn considering how heavy he was in his armor. They managed to secure bjorn with another pair of chains. Tired from the journey and fastening the captees in the dungeon Rheila yawned

"Come on Rheske let's go get a bath." Rheila grabbed Rheske's hand gently tugging her to the door leading upstairs.

"Okay sissy" Rheske agreed turning her attention to the subtle movement in the corner. "Niadra, watch them for us" Rheske winked following her sisters lead out of the dungeon. A cooing hiss came from the corner that Rheske spoke to
