Olwan did not want to help Peacock but now she is. Pushing against a Nautriarch with the same draconic scaled hands before grunting and fully sending the Nautriarch back and against his tail. “There” She pants, turning to Peacock, “Consider this even for the ride ye gave.”

“Synwyn…” Grunts the oversized of lizard and a lantern fish, “I didn’t think you’d come back.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn318ErXCOS
“Yer right about that Geardweli. I never meant to show min face to ye lot.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI696GAGTV
“Haha, and this explains the number of our siblings at Gestel plains. Why? Do you wish to open up the borders? Let them in?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJaStvZVwV
“Exactly my intention.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdfpNhJjk5
“Ah…and let the undead stench our Módbeorg? I assume you did not expect these events. At all. But, even so, you are still hiding something. Tell me what you want and then I’ll let you go.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UFB7YJDwr
“After ye tried to kill my friend? No, there is no more room for talk especially when all I see in yer eyes is violence.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Qr9ovvO7
“Violence!? Oh ye jest—”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXt925DjeZ
“Alongadol met death many times and always manage to win over it. But now, what happened?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uQ9sKpgk2
“He met a different kind of death. Killed him in an instant.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uluXLaHYM
“But his roots are intact. I checked,”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn0T0JpW8z
“And it still wrung him dry of oxygen. Hence, it is a different kind of death, that we do not know of. All probably because of that bird you are protecting. He is afterall a spawn of that beast.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHPzul3hS
Peacock frantically looks around at the Nautrens all staring at him. Keeping himself close to Olwan and praying, “Dear gods, please come already--Isaac, Amerie…”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVB62d5YHI
“Calm down Peacock, keep an open eye and let me know if ye feel something approaching.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhDHfpYRfZ
The bird nods and shrinks himself to perch on the lady’s shoulders.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafjOxIu4PI
“Peacock is not enemy” Olwan tells to the Nautrens
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ACVDj9wg
“But a potential suspect” Geardwell adds, “Its children are all the same!”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFBJwVUus9
“Where are Hommafrið and Philomena?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcNOHvXGrc
“Now looking for them? You know, when you left. Both wanted to look for you and forgot their duties to take care of Alongadol. And when our Alongadol died, they confessed for being guilty and wish to atone for their sins! Hah! So that leaves me, to take care of everything. So irresponsible.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oHlD9GVMp
“Then tell me where I can find them.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihntmfTRfm
“Please, you don’t have to.” Geardwell leans his ear to the whispering Nautren before nodding and saying,, “You know…you want to let the outsider siblings in right? To escape from all the chaos those two legged ants are making.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQxxIyWGl
“I do not plan to do anything for ye.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4dRcZG6Pb
“I know, but you will have to do this because my hands are already full for Alongadol. Take this chance as a way to repent yourself and I will allow our outsider siblings in. This will also undoubtedly reduce Módbeorg’s risk of being overrun by the undead and ye—"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOlY9bD1U
“No, I will not do.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNHboYlOUK
“Let me finish” gritting his teeth before grinning, “And you will be able to bring Pebe with you.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVo3EikVeR
“Pebe…? Ye rotten lizard, ye better did not do anything to Pebe.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yg1anaNEb
“Hah! Childish, of course I’ll do something to him later but something came up and I just wish for an exchange with you now since you are the most Hemrean among us in this Communal den.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC0nyxlttz
“…”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGXVncX4i
“I’ll take the silence as a yes. Follow me and I will tell along the way.” Geardwell turns and walks towards the upstairs.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PvgYbl4LD
Peacock holds onto Olwan’s leg saying, “Hey, hey, you cannot leave me here. They will kill me.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL719hzhTZ
“Yer friends are here” she says as the giantess and Isaac walk up to them together with Escar. “As long as ye three stick together. Ye’ll be fine.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVATJaxajb9
“Pebe the criminal is back? Nautriarch Synwyn?” Escar questions before bowing,
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8lTSueZQr
Synwyn only raises her hand before walking for the upstairs, leaving Escar unanswered.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAwULunGSr
“Hm…I must have said something to upset her much” Escar says and turns to the trio hugging each other.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F2nzDKWQj
“What now?” Peacock gathers Amerie and Isaac’s ears. “If we want to speak with the Nautriarchs, ye will have to find Nautriarch Philomena and Nautriarch Hommafrið. But both are, yes, atoning for their guilt at the moonsprings…”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LkQOYGxa8
“Then we go to a moonspring” Isaac says,
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l1FWlxZuZ
“Going to a moonspring, I hear?” Escar joins in, shocking the trio’s huddling, “Friends, no one can tell, as any pond or spring hit by the moonlight can be considered a moonspring. But some glow with the presence of Lunarids. And they are always on the move and Lunarids only show up at twilight unless one is adept at Spirit Calling.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzASAogIJlh
“Then, we hit a slump…”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Al1DQ1Mx2
“No,” Amerie shakes her head, “We must persevere and try with Geardwell, and Synwy too, we didn’t know Olwan was a Nautriarch, maybe she can help us.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32f4eZ0M77
“I am sorry to pry for this but…” Escar says, “I thought ye only wanted to ask for forgiveness to Alongadol. It is also a way for ye to show respect. Unless, ye also have other agendas?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteXGotKu7z
“We thank you for escorting us thus far Escar,” Amerie ignores the question, raising Escar’s brow. “I’m sure you still have other duties to do.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjzDIonOw
“No” Escar says, “In Módbeorg, there is always a rule that any non-Nautren should be accompanied by a Nautrient at best. Trust me, I will not let ye roam freely and we can focus on what should be done for ourselves and our kind. Also, directly asking a question to Nautriarch Geardwell calls for an on the spot public execution. I would not want the three characters of the prophecy end like that.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5BqNo3Ohl
“Ah…ahaha…ha…” Amerie rubs her cheeks, “Looks like we do not need to say anything where we should go next”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqESg8IJzTC
“Right” Escar nods, “Trust me. I know how we can approach a Nautriarch.”
