As they arrived at the city gates they were stopped for inspection to ensure no drugs, people, or other forbidden things were in the carriage. As Gawain left the carriage the guard noticed his deathly appearance and signaled to another guard. As the other guard walked over he noticed Gawain. The guard barked aggressively, “Sir you are going to have to come with me.”

Kane had a puzzled look on his face “Could I know the reason why you are taking him?” Kane asked

The guard glared at him furrowed his brows and said, “It is none of your business so please wait for the inspection to be completed and leave without this man.”

Kane, not wanting to delay his tight schedule of deliveries said, “ Very well.”

Shortly after this conversion, Gawain was taken away to an interrogation room and there he waited for 30 long minutes. A man walked into the room and sat down opposite Gawain. The man introduced himself as a heresy investigator and started asking Gawain Questions, but Gawain was barely conscious and blacked out before he could answer any.

****Gawain woke up in a room chained down to a table. After laying there for a while a doctor came into the room and started Talking, “You're awake. You feel unconscious after seemingly not eating or drinking anything for at least a month, I don’t even understand how you are still alive from how much stress your body was under.”

Gawain Confused responded, “Why am I chained to the table?”

The doctor coldly responded, “You are possibly dangerous, so we were taking precautions.”

The Investigator came into the room and began asking his questions again. “To start what is your name?”

“ I am Gawain Everbright.”

“Where were you before coming to this city?”

“I’m not sure as I woke up on the side of the road bordering the Abyssal Forest before the merchant I was traveling with picked me up off the road and took me to this city.”

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Do you know what race lives in the Abyssal Forest?”

“I don’t know as I have few memories from before I awoke.”

“The Decarus, a race similar to the elves, live in the abyssal forest, and by order of the holy father have been labeled as a threat to humanity. As such any believer of the holy church is to detain any who may be of the Decarus race and possibly execute them if needed.”

“This next question that I ask you I need you to answer honestly as it may determine what happens to you.”

“What relation do you have with the Decarus?” The Hersey Investigator asked in Decaruish.

“As I told you I have no relation with them.” Gawain retorted back at the Investigator in Decaruish.

Shocked to hear the Decaruish language The Investigator yelled, “I will give you a chance to live so please leave this city or I will have to kill you.” With this, the Hesery investigator cut the chains binding Gawain to the table and threw him out the window.

*****Gawain still wrapping his head around the events that had happened in the past few days started wandering towards the Abyssal Forest and was only snapped out of his stupor when he sensed a similar energy to that of the Elder god. Looking around he noticed that he had walked into a forest with how sinister the energy around him felt he knew he was in the Abyssal Forest. Before he could take another step an arrow was lodged in the tree right next to his head. “How dare a filthy human walk into are sacred forest!”

Gawain looks the Decarus right in the eyes through its camouflage, “I am not here to cause you or your people any harm as I am only looking for somewhere to stay as I was kicked out of the human city for being similar to the Decarus.” Gawain Said back at the Decarus in their tongue.

The Decarus jumped from the shadows and put a dagger to Gawain’s neck grumbling, “Why do you speak our language and why do you look like us?”

“I have few memories of my past and only know that I awoke next to a road that bordered the Abyssal Forest.” Hearing this the female Decarus whistles signaling other Decarus to appear behind her.

“What is the reason you call upon us Anastasia?”

“This human speaks our tongue.” Shocked murmurs ran through the group of 10 Decarus.

Baffled by this the guard reassured, “But that isn’t possible our tongue is something you can only learn from a young age because of how complex it is.”

The Decarus Pinning Gawain to the tree named Anastasia said, “We take him to the village for further investigation it is not safe for someone with the knowledge of our language to be roaming free in the human realm.”
