Right after they exit the building Akatosh asks her a question, "It must be nice to leave an elegant man at his lonely table".

"Don't be absurd I greet him goodbye before leaving, unlike you who had no proper behavior."

"So says the person who greets people in reprisal way. And I'd rather be a discreet person, than being known as lowlife."

"This is why no person wants to be your companion," Ashalain says.

"Just so you know, I've never asked a companion for life. Well except for my other past. Were my friends being as shit like me?"

Just as they continue their conversation. "Who would never know that this woman could be so damn pretty attractive when she acts like a real woman." Akatosh reckons while they both walk the path covered in cobblestone.

"And about my thing--" Akatosh asks her.

"You should be grateful." Ashalain interrupts. "I've kept your precious thing at my place if I didn't hide your bag that mage could have got your thing."

"And why is that?"

"Because it holds a very powerful magic."

"I got what you're saying but what's the difference between a normal bag and a special one. Though thanks for keeping my bag."

Ashalain sigh. "Special ones are very easy to detect by high-class wizards and mage. They can identify between normal things and magical items"

"Ah, so that's why."

"You should be careful when meeting people. And since your bag reeks magical energy, I have placed a magical barrier masking your item as a common thing."

"Thanks."

Little did he know Ashalain was ciphering the past devastation brought by a mysterious force the people had experienced. She first suspected Akatosh regarding the connection between his bag and how he appears so suddenly. And the experience she encounters after she tortured him at her sister's place and the horrifying scene she last saw leads her to speculate Akatosh.

Interrogating the guards that pick up Akatosh and the place where they've found him. Unsure of who to blame she still sets her instinct towards Akatosh knowing he must be a dangerous person.

Following their time Akatosh follows her without hesitation but his instinct and observation are at full health. By the time they've to arrive Akatosh was dumbfounded by the building, Ashalain was occupying.

"You coming?" She asks.

"I'll wait here; you'll go get my bag."

Ashalain shrug for she knew Akatosh wouldn't run without his bag.

As for Akatosh tolling near the building kicking some rocks. The guards who were patrolling near Ashalain's estate begun to raise their suspicion towards Akatosh suspecting him as some sort of a thief. And so too Akatosh begun to know what the guards are unto.

"Just how long will that woman get my bag."

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Seconds turn to minutes the guards begun to walk towards Akatosh leaning beside the wall.

"You there!" The guard exclaimed.

Akatosh looks around if there was someone that the guard is speaking to he then points his finger towards himself.

"Yes, I was talking to you." The guard says.

"What's the problem sarge?"

The man measures Akatosh top to bottom. The guard thought Akatosh must be a thief lingering and at the same time observing the place for a nighttime raid.

"Judging by your clothing… What are you doing here in this place? Do you know this place?"

"Oh… Quite the fact… Well in my opinion from my speculation. The thing that drives me through here is but a simple thing and doesn't mention being a man banging a fortune. And yes I was quite one of your thoughts. But no worries I'm not as greed as you are except it is through my designation that I came here with someone I know just--"

With his barren words, the guards have begun to frown at him.

"You do know what I'm saying, no?"

"Just what are doing here!" The guard angrily shout

"But sarge…"

"Is there a problem?" Ashalain says,

"Finally!"

"Ah… miss Ashalain this man--"

"He's one of my associates" Ashalain interrupts.

"Pff… associates," Akatosh utters.

The moment Akatosh said his words, Ashalain gave him a warning. Frowning at him at an intimidating look.

"I see, I'm sorry for disturbing you. I should go resume my patrol if you would excuse me." The guard says, then quickly he left.

"If you would then," Ashalain said to the guard.

"Look I don't have the time--"

She opens the gate without responding to what Akatosh was saying.

"You coming or what."

"The hell with it mind as well go with it."

"You know. Your sense of humor would lead you to a place crawling with rats." Ashalain said.

"I'm just saying it."

"Saying what? I could ask that guard that you were a thief strolling around the corner."

"If only you just hand over my thing we can walk away never to see each other again. How's that?"

"Fair enough though there is a catch." Ashalain smile.

"Great more calculus to solve, so what is it."

"There is--"

"Make it short, direct to the point, and keep it simple." Akatosh cut in Ashalain's word.

"I've had been--"

"Accepted, just bring me back my bag."

"Fine!" She frowns in anger. And for his words, Ashalain passes his bag without thinking twice.

As Akatosh grabs his bag a grim smile befalls his face. At a quick snatching reaction, he then turns around running through the wall.

"Bastard!"

"Hahahahah… What do you expect from an optimistic man!" Akatosh laughs.

"Wait!"

Through his adrenalin rushing into his body, he quickly scales the wall in no time outrunning Ashalain.

"I will give my compensation from the restaurant to your nice sister and thanks for everything."

"Bastard!"

"Sorry… I just don't like being ordered by a woman."

The fourth time their cat and mouse chase something is about to happen that would drive her journey.

Just as Akatosh was madly running, he went through the alley hoping to do the same but somehow just a step further he felt something. The bag he carries gave him a powerful disruption through his physical and mental body. After taking the heaviness that shackles his entire body Akatosh couldn't do anything but kneel. Paralyze turns to heat as the magic bag he carries suddenly shows him a premonition of him, of what was coming to a warning. Visions turn to a ray of lights, zooming out and zooming the scenario of what he falls to.

He saw a burning land; he saw nothing but pure chaos amidst the burning mist he couldn't explain. "Come and see," he saw the full brunt of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth seal. The horse that conquers all, the horse that brings all tyrant to chaos, the horse that brings unimaginable sickness, and the horse that brings death and Hades.

The moment as Akatosh dreads himself in his premonition. Ashalain quickly found him but what she felt, this time it was no joke this time she too caught by Akatosh premonition.

It took more than a minute for Ashalain to regains her composure, rage turns to responsibility. She could feel the heat emanating from Akatosh as he falls flat on the pathway.

After Ashalain overcomes her dreadful emotion the guards quickly follow but some of them were sent back by Ashalain herself.

"Did you catch him?"

"Would one of you carry him back to my place?" She honestly asks one of the guards

"Sure thing."

Time fly, Akatosh awoke to a different place through a different dimension. This time it was not what he had been through, he felt refresh the place was the pure absence of dark. A voice of a woman calls echoed through at every angle and every corner.

"Be aware of the path and the steps you'll take, for one day there is nothing but the midst of chaos."
