Yo,Its me again .This series might me more crafting oriented for a while and then go to action but there might be not much fighting.
Enjoy reading :D
The Map----
After sleeping the night in the cave ,bit far from the dead lizards.
I pushed those damn lizards into the bonfire and carved a message into the walls nearby.
After I woke up ,I realized that I didn't feel hungry but I felt thirsty.I decided to follow the Map since it had a city in it and I could probably find some water there.
The map consisted of the cave system and a small portion of the forest.
I decided to mark arrows in the direction of the city so i wouldn't get lost.
After a couple hours of rest ,I found the city.
I decided to observe the race living underground.
Dwarves maybe?
Obviously...What would be a fantasy world without Dwarves?
How do I communicate with them?
Don't ask me!
Are you possibly a girl?
Not telling
I walked up to the main gate and saw guards.When I tried to Enter ,They stopped me.
"Human,go away!This city is not for your kind"-Dwarf 1
How do I even understand them?
Your powers obviously..sheesh
My powers?!
"What do you mean dwarf?"-Jack
"Hey this one can speak"-dwarf 2
"What do you mean speak?I could always speak"-Jack
"This is highly unusual,We must take you to the King"-Dwarf 1
"I see but why is a human capable of speech unique?"-Jack
"Are you a hermit?..Humans are generally known as mindless beasts"-Dwarf 2
LOL
"I .... never mind.Let us go meet your king"-Jack
"Very well,Orik take this Human to the king I shall stand guard"-Guard 1
"Yes,Captain"-Orik
Then they opened a door next to the grand entrance.
Stolen novel; please report.
"Is the entrance not for us?"-Jack
"The entrance is only used when there is a procession or an event"-Orik
"I understand"-Jack
We walk through several parts of the city,Orik thought it good that showing me the city would be fine before meeting the king.
"That is the residential area ,then the crafting area where most of our famed blacksmiths work and the trading area"-Orik
"This city is well planned"-Jack
"I still don't get how a human can speak"-Orik
"I am special"-Jack
Yeah,"SPECIAL"
"We Have arrived"-Orik
I glance upwards and see a magnificent castle built into the cave walls.
It seems like that they have carved into the cave and built only a small portion around it.
There are many intricate statues of dwarves .Some with hammers and axes and some standing next to anvils and forges.
"Beautiful"-Jack
"Aye,That it is.The beauty of Marua ,The Castle of Calci."-Orik
Then we see two guards motion towards us.
"Oi,Orik what is the human doing here?"-Guard 1
"I would appreciate it if you called me by my name"-Jack
"By the beard of Odin"-Guard 1 & 2
"And what would that be?"-Orik
"Osseus"-Jack
Latin for skeleton..I like it.
"Pleasure to meet you Osseus"-Orik
"This is (guard 1) Tanfus and that is (guard 2 ) Kanfus"-Orik
"Pleasure to meet you Tanfus and Kanfus "-Osseus
The guards still slack jawed return the greeting and move aside when Orik mentioned business with the king.
We then enter the palace.
It was magnificent .Walls of marble and granite with an assortments of precious gems and semi-precious gems adoring every doorway.
The throne was mesmerising made of an mixture of gold, platinum and obviously some mithril with dashes of orichalcum .
The king was someone who oozed authority and dignity.
I kneel and say my greetings.
"Stand,My friend"-King
Oooh,Friendly
