In the fading light of the setting sun, a large number of horse-drawn carriages were making their way down the rocky path toward the king's Landing. In one of the carriage,"I don't want to go there"An obese and sluggish-looking man muttered in a dejected manner.
"It is useless to assert that at this time"A warrior-looking man,who appeared to be highly serious, said.
"You should have been hiding in a better place"A slender young man with a swollen eye said.
"Looking at your condition, it doesn't look like you adopted your own idea"That obese man said.
"I was in a decent hiding spot, but my voice did not help me"
"What do you mean?"
"As I was strolling through the city, I came to know that the military are rounding up every young person to bring them to the war.I ran after stealing a girl's clothes that were drying outside a house, putting them on while properly concealing my face.I dodged many soldiers on the way, but when I arrived close to my house, Ser Lenov was standing in front of me... "
"Bloody hell"
"I know. I was breathing quickly when he stopped me, and when he asked where I was coming from, I said the market, but in my haste, I neglected to alter my voice, and he kissed me in the eye with his punch and brought me here. Ouch! it's still hurting"He said as he touched his eye.
"I was watering my fields when a group of soldiers suddenly burst in and dragged me here,I am the only child of my parents if something happens to me who will take care of them,I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to them for the last time"A man in tears with narrowed eyes said.
"Nobody here has had a chance to say goodbye to anyone,my friend"Another young man in a vibrantly coloured outfit said.
"I was enjoying a wine in the tavern while listening to this singer's hoarse tunes when these nasty soldiers arrived and dragged me here"Said a man, whose clothes were heavily dust-covered and who had a very thick moustache.
"You can't disparage my songs in this manner; there is no greater singer in the entire town than I am"The man wearing the vibrant clothing said.
"Because you are the only singer in the village"
"Just imagine if something happens to me, who will give good music to the villagers"
"They'll get a rest for their eardrums if this actually happens"
"Nowadays, everyone envies my songs, which makes me quite proud"
"Stop your bullshit"
Amidst all of this, however, there was another young man who was sitting peacefully in the corner and making an effort to stare out the small broken part of the carriage. It was Dan who was cursing himself why he stayed on Nailgard.
"I was on my way to my lover's home to beg her father for her hand"That obese guy said.
"Have you really got a girl?"Looking at the obese man, the man with the thick moustache muttered.
"I know I don't look so special but love is about more than just physical attractiveness,she told me that she saw me as her life mate in her dreams, and you know, she fell in love with me at first sight.... "
"Wait, I already heard this from someone"That slender young man said.
"And me too,was her name Flona?"The man with the thick mustache asked him.
"No"
"Or Calina?"That slender young man asked.
"No,her name was Jeana"
"Is her father blind?"
"Yes"
"He also has a broken leg, right?"
"Yes,do you guys know her?"
"Yes,very well"That slender young man said.
"Me too"The man with the thick mustache said.
"How?"That obese man appeared really perplexed.
"Because I was her blind lover before you"
"Even though I used to drink alcohol before she left, it was only because of her affection that I developed an addiction to it"The man said, scratching the hair of his mustache.
"What do you mean?"
"In simple words, that girl is a cheater, and yes, she has no father; she is an orphan. If you had visited her home, she would have asked you for food first. After you had eaten it, you would have enjoyed a restful night's sleep, and when you opened your eyes, you would have been in the city's filthiest drain. You are saved, my friend."The slender young man rubbed his eye and said.
"But I gave her my two pigs" That obese man said sadly.
"I gave her my horse, my best black horse"The man took a hair out of his mustache and said.
"I gave her my four sheep and a few days later I found their heads outside the slaughterhouse" That slender man said with a sigh.
"Love is a very beautiful thing, but when some people defame it, it feels bad"A tall, attractive boy with green eyes and long hair said.
"Huh..another lover"That singer said.Hearing this, the boy's cheeks turned pale pink.
"Who is the person you are so proud to have as a lover,is she a princess?"That farmer asked him.
"Princesses are only shown in fiction as living among us common folk,she is just a normal girl but to me she is everything"
"You place too much value on love"That slender man said.
"Because aside from that, I have nothing"
That serious-looking man abruptly burst into loud laughter.
"What happened to him?" That singer said.
"A drunkard, a farmer, a lover, a fool, and a singer are going to join a war together, but they have to talk about their pets and the girls. Anyway, tomorrow's day brings your death, so do it today. Talk as much as you can. Perhaps you won't get the opportunity to speak at all tomorrow."
On hearing these words of that serious looking person, the expression of sadness returned on everyone's face.
"I'm not taunting you, but how could you get caught in their clutches? You could have fought those soldiers, dodged them, or you are one of them, a knight?"That obese man asked him.
"I am not a knight; I am a prisoner" He said loudly,this question appeared to have pierced him.
"Is the war involving prisoners as well?"That farmer asked.
"Yes they do,this is a suitable method of making the inmates pay for their actions"He said. That's when,"Where are you from, my friend, who did not say anything even after listening to so many things? You do not seem to be from our city."That singer asked Dan.
"I'm Dan... Dan Slories,from Hailgard"He said softly.
"I am Morius and you have already heard the rest of the things about me"That singer said.
"And my name is Lulian, but some people also call me a love-sharer"That slender young man said,Dan just smiled lightly in response.
"Hailgard,there would have been some decent wine there"The man with the thick mustache said.
"Hailgard doesn't sell wine"Dan said.
"So how do the people there spend their time?"
"We are not short of work,actually"
"Are you a trader?"That farmer asked him.
"No, I'm not. I was travelling to King's Landing to alert the king of the looming danger. They are coming."Dan was thinking now that he shouldn't have told that much.
"Who?"That obese man asked.
"The knights of darkness"He said softly.
Now everyone was looking at him as if he had said something wrong,then everyone sitting there started laughing, even the serious looking person laughed a little and said,"See boy,what you are telling is just a part of the legends created by the people and if your words are true and they are really coming here then they will only get the corpse because the ongoing war is the end of all of us"
Dan didn't say anything further, he doesn't want to argue any more.Even if no one trusts him, the scene he saw was a message of the end.
"I'd want to sing to you all a song about dark nights. However, after today, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to sing again"Morius said.
And before anyone could say anything, he started singing,
