As Heisi stopped reading the book she wondered-Where are all the non dwarfs, and half dwarfs?-

She stood up and went to the spiral staircase.

“Long way up” she started slowly climbing. While she was climbing she thought at everything that had happened til then. She was really bored. She thought what her weapon of choice should be. In the real world Michael had mastered the katana and great sword while he was proficient with other weapons. Becoming somewhat immortal can do that to a man, especially if he was easily bored. Him being a woman and weak now in the game was really uncomfortable but also a welcome change in his boring life. There is only so much fun you can get from acting crazy. For the first time in a long time, since he became successful, he had to give a lot of effort and dedication to accomplish something, which for him was fun. This climb served to him as a certain recollection and evaluation of his life. Sacrificing his ability to have kids and a normal life for his company and work, not many people would do this, give up everything at the start for success. The stairs seemed to go forever. He realized that it was a sad, sad life he lived, all his friends had children, even some had grandchildren, while he had nothing, besides few girls that served to pass time and sadness, but that didn’t last. He finally saw the end.

-I have a sad life-

As he stepped outside he was stunned. She was at the top of the staff and beneath her stretched the city of Fileheim. It was stunning. On the north she could see the cliff and the ocean. On the west and east the city spread , to the eye , indefinitely, on the south she could see the end of the city just below the horizon.

-Beautiful isn’t it?-

-Yes it is.- said Heisi as she leaned on the fence.

-I was wondering, in the books I read that there were more species in the city, but I only saw the dwarfs, where are they?- Heisi asked.

-In the dungeons hiding.- Filga answered.- The current kings grandfather started a purge of non dwarfs, under the influence of the other churches. At first the Church of Fang managed to resist and protect the citizens, but soon the other churches managed to bribe the dwarven nobility and put paranoia into them.- she let it sink - Then his son assassinated him and blamed it on the Church of Fang. The First legion which had deep roots with the Church and all non-dwarf troops were sent out on an expedition. When they left the Night of Blood came. All other legions were ordered to massacre the non-dwarf populace. Half dwarfs would be tolerated since they were used as propaganda of dwarfness. All males of other races were to be massacred and women used as breeding slaves. Thankfully the Church foresaw this coming and started evacuating the populace into the dungeons. On that day we lost many priestesses including the First High Priestess Sakura. That night is named that because of her. She single-handedly held the line when all others fell, thanks to her the evacuation had moderate losses, or else it would have failed. When she fought blood rained from the sky, and for every drop of blood she drank one more enemy fell. She was defeated by the help from priests of other churches that were hidden in the enemy mobs. When they took her down they tried to rape her but couldn’t because of her robes, but they wanted her blood, so they put her on a pike in the square down there, that’s why the square, in the memory of her is called the Sakura square. My father that was also an archiever told me of that day, and to say the least he was traumatised since he worked with her on many occasions. He could only watch her form this terrace,powerless to do anything. Ten years later he planted a Sakura tree in her honor.- Tears showed in her eyes.

-Why couldn’t he do anything?- Heisi asked.

-It’s the vow of the archiever, to guard the archives and never leave them.- She looked at Heisi. -Because of that they didn’t touch us, even when they knew my families opinion, for if we died they wouldn’t be able to use the archives, which contains deeds and documents that are needed to run this kingdom. Those documents are bound to this place, cannot be destroyed or stolen, and if we were to die would be sealed forever.-

-What if you die somewhere else?-

-We can’t be killed in the city, but we also can’t leave it. They only knew we can’t leave the city, cause no one tried to kill us, yet- she smiled.

-Okaaaay.-

-Well, she hung there for the next twenty years, until the First returned. The king planned and believed that his son, who lead the first would join him. Well that didn’t happen. When his son, the current king, saw the dead bodies and the tormented High Priestess he went berserk. Not for a second did he believe his father that they tried to stage a coup, for he knew his fathers tendencies. My father told me that the king had awoken the power of the Avatar of Fang and cut down his father in half. That was the end of a short and terrible reign of Adolf. King Franklin held a celebration feast for the death of the tyrant when he was poisoned by the nobility and his son Luis. Priestess Sakura also died that night. The nobility and Louis blamed the non-dwarfs for the act as they did it in blind revenge, although no one believed that. From that point onward the kingdom fell apart. It has been eighty years since the king was poisoned. The king doesn’t have much to live since he’s old and weak from the poison. I heard that you took the quest to restore this nation, and to do that you must place Thunil, the kings grandson on the throne. Please, my love restore Fileheim.-

-I will.- Heisi smiled at her and kissed her.

-Felok the alchemist sent me to tell you that he found a trainer that you would benefit from. You should go to his home where he awaits with the trainer. You should hurry before they get drunk- the messenger said awkwardly.

-Thank you- Heisi leaned and kissed him -A tip for your hard work.-

-I, I , will be taking my leave my lady.- He almost crashed down the stairs.

-Well, I should be going.- Heisi gave a deep kiss to Filga.

-Of course, my love.- Filga slapped Heisi on her bottom.

Heisi gave her a deep kiss and went down. The trip was faster since she seat on the handrails and enjoyed the trip.

***

As Heisi arrived at Feloks house she could hear loud laughter of the two dwarfs.Entering the house she saw Felok,and a dwarf that was of elven height.

-So you came quicker than I expected.-He said while reaching for his mug- Meet my friend and cousin Jovan, first centurion of the First legion, the best it has to offer, he can beat a troll in chess and a mage in brawling..-

-You speak to highly of me Felok.- looking at Heisi - this man here, how old do you think he is?-

-I don’t know? Maybe fifties?- Heisi answered

Both of them started to laugh and choke on the beer they were drinking,

-Missy, he turned two hundred two years ago, fifty my ass.-

-Impossible!-Heisi exclaimed.

-Here sit down and drink, let me tell you a story.-he gave Heisi a beer.

-About 300 years a boy was born, a genius, by the age of 50 he mastered the art of alchemy, he was so good with his potions and poisons that he became the head of the alchemy guild. Alas that didn’t last long.- Jovan said.

-Is that Felok?-

-Hell no,what made you think that this moron was a master of the alchemy guild?-

-Then who was that?-

-Feloks father and mine grandfather.-

-Why didn’t it last?-

-He got eaten by a dragon. He had gone crazy by all the fumes he had inhaled, and anyhow he was famous for his most impressive poison. The hostage poison. It links the life force of the poisoner and the victim so that if the poisoner dies the victim dies too.-

-Interesting poison.-

-Aye, and the way to cure was lost with our grandfathers death.-

-Could that poison be the one….-

-With which the king is poisoned?- Felok interjected.-Yes it is. Why do you ask?-

-I’m on a quest to save him and the kingdom.-

-Well you’re not the only one.- Felok said.- The entire First and some of the nobles want the king back too.-

-What about you.- Heisi asked.

-Bloody hell, I want him back too, that poison would bring shame to my family if it’s found out, and only Fang knows that I’ve earned enough shame for several lifetimes.-

-So we need to find the cure!-

-Impossible, the way to make the poison was only known by my grandfather, so we can’t analyze the ingredients, and the last batch of it was used on the king.- Felok said while sadly drinking the beer. -Fang help us.-

-There is a way, through the Church of Fang. It is said that the priestesses can commune with Fang and gain his insight, the only problem is to find them.- Jovan said while refiling his tankard.-None had seen them since the king became ill.-

-What if I go to explore the dungeons? Can I find them there?-

-Very likely, but getting in side is going to be trouble, the corrupted nobles constantly guard the entrance.- Said Jovan.-But, if you get help from the nobles who want the king back, you could enter with their connections.-

-Why are they different?-

-Their bloodline is different from the other families, they believed that they will be stronger if they seek partners from other races. Most commonly chosen were the elfes, which resulted in them becoming strongest spell masters of the Fileheim kingdom.-Jovan took another sip of his beer.-Anyway, I'll send word of your coming. They will probably ask you to complete a few tasks, you know, the usual bull you have to go trough if you want something-

-Now about your class...-Felok took a long look at Heisi. -Go fuck yourself. You already got one. And I've been busting my ass trying to find you a good class. -he calmed down a bit after taking a long sip out of his keg- Which class did you chose?-

-A Seductress. -

-That’s a....-he tried to say something but instead started drinking. -

-Whoring class. -Jovan completed Feloks sentence. - Don't get me wrong, it's a class that is at the top of subterfuge, but it involves too much sex and perversions for my taste, but if you can stomach it to get the job done, let's just say that I wouldn’t want to be on your bad side.- Jovan raised his keg- Now let's drink.-

The drinking continued deep into the night.

****

The next morning, the birds were singing cheerfuly.

-Argh, stupid birds.- exclaimed Jvan- Why won’t they shut up?-

-Do something Felok.-

-I got just the thing.- He went to pick something up.

Heisi watched him while lying on her back.-WTF?! No, don’t throw ….-

Felok threw the bomb at the birds.-Take this for disrupting my peace and quiet.-

The bomb exploded, shattering all windows in a hundred meter radius...well if there were any that were whole…

-You moron…- Jovan started screaming on Felok.

-I’m leaving,and by the way, you guys know where I can take a bath?-

Jovan looked at her-There is a park with a lake 200 meters east, it’s reserved for female dwarfs, and their slaves, about which you don’t have to worry, just say that you are a slaver. You have an aura,although weak, which none will doubt, cause you know, you show promise as a slaver, considering your skills…..- Jovan said awkwardly

Heisi walked up to him, stroked him with her finger,from his ear to his chin and asked- Really?-

-Yes.- he muttered awkwardly.

-Well, see ya, and remember to send the message.-Heisi left the screaming Jovan to “educate” Felok.
