Eric #1
Dark figure was roaming city streets. His bare foots were hitting paved walkway in fast pace as he was looking for something.
It was more than year since Eric embarked on his journey with impossible goal. When he realized how futile his effort was, he stopped and decided to create his dream land with his own two hands. But for that, his own strength wasn´t enough. He needed allies, powerful allies, but as a man of few words and questionable morale, Eric didn´t have many friends and the few he had were hard to find. It took him several weeks before he catch wind of one of them. Gabirel Moon, reclusive archaeologist who was seen on Lyneel. And so, this evening, small sail boat with only one person on board arrived to one of the smaller port on this beautiful island.
Finally, after three hours or so of roaming the city Eric found what he was looking for. Small two-storey house with dirty windows which was standing in a one of the more dubious neighborhoods.
“knock, Knock, KNOCK, BOOM!”
Eric´s fist hit the front door several times before someone from the inside cursed.
“F**K! What time do you think is it?”
Elderly woman in nightgown opened the door, but as soon as she saw Eric, her face shift from righteous anger to simple fear.
Who are you?
Women asked as she looked at him with concern.
“I am looking for someone”
Eric replied
“His name is Gabriel Moon and he is supposed to live here.”
Just as he said the name she tried to slam the door but was too slow. Eric forced himself into her house and pressed her against wall.
“What was that?”
She start to tremble.
“Look, I...I don´t want any trouble.”
“Where is he?”
“Not here”
“WHERE IS HE?”
Eric doesn´t look angry. Actually his face was surprisingly calm but still something in his voice was pretty scary.
“Away, two days ago, some soldiers come and arrested him. I don´t know why. I didn´t ask. I don´t want any troubles so…”
She couldn´t finish her sentence, as Eric simply turn around and left without a word.
Finding local military base was far more easier than finding one old house in the middle of nowhere. The base was small complex of three buildings surrounded by low wall with only one visible gate. The whole complex was build on the outskirts of the city and its inhabitants were obviously used to peaceful times, as there was only one man on a guard duty near the gate.
“Evening”
Eric greeted the half-sleeping guard.
“What the…?”
Obviously that guard wasn´t really happy to see Eric, but he doesn´t look like he cared at all.
“I am looking for Gabriel Moon, he is supposed to be held in this...fortress.”
“What? Who do you think you are? Do you even know what time is it? Go home drunk!”
Eric tilted his head on the side little bit and pulled hands outside of his pockets.
“His guardian angel I guess.”
“Are you...”
The guardian stopped in the middle of his sentence. He wasn´t young or inexperienced. He knew to well that in this world there are people crazy enough to attack base like this on their own and Eric looked just like that type of madman who could try something like that.
“Wait here, I´ll get some officer, who could help you more than I can.”
He murmured and disappeared behind the gate.
