CH3: Broken in

By Dumbbruce_vocalPublished 10 months ago 4 min read

So after a long morning we finally showed up to Crimson Howl HQ which had to be the biggest building the both of us had ever seen. “Damn this place is huge. You live here alone Mr.Claeus?”

Cleaus looks at Corban with a smirk ”No this where everyone from the Crimson Howl lives. You’ll eat, sleep, and train here until either you pay off your debt, or your dead in a ditch somewhere because you decided to disobey an order. Does that answer your question.”

Corban expression change from curious and optimistic to pissed off and Somewhat rowled up. He takes a deep breath and puts a fake smile. “Mind if we go in then; its not like we can start paying off this damn debt standing here.”

Cleaus smiles. “That’s the spirit and sure don’t forget to get me and Chorus’s bags while your at it.” Corban and Ezora turn around, with Corban mostly surprised.

Corban sighs and without a word begins getting on the carriage along with Ezora help. “What the hell is this guy's problem? Every time I say something he has to say something negative.”

“Your just thinking to much into it, just do what your told and we’ll be out of here in 3 months.” Ezora says trying to calm down Corban.

“Easy for you to say it’s not like he talks to you. Hell, when was the last time he did speak with you. I bet the little money I have left he hasn’t acknowledged your existence, and what the hell is in these bags he was only there for a day.’’ Corban grabs another bag and struggles moving to the door of the HQ.

Ezora stops for a second and hears some really heavy breathing as if something has been lurking near them the whole ride ther. “Hey Corban do you hear that?”

“And you say I’m complaining.” As Corban puts the bag down he turns around and his eyes widened in fear before walking back in fear. “Fuck this nah Sir can get that damn thing himself!” As Corban screams the animal wakes up and lightly growls at the both of them. “Ezora back away from that thing now!”

Ezora smiles and stands still with nothing but composure. “Why would I be scared? It’s not gonna do anything; just telling by the growl its just tired your screaming just woke it up.” The large animal keeps growling before quieting down and laying back down and falling back asleep.

Corban is left in confusion.“The fuck did I just see. Your blind do you even realize that?”

Ezora turns around looks in Corbans general direction. “See, the thing is between me and other people like me is I don’t limit myself. If I did I wouldn’t be as strong as I am today. Oddly enough you do without realizing it; if you would stop overreacting and being so damn lazy we would be somewhat on par with one another. Ezora takes a deep breath before turning around and grabbing the last bit of luggage.

Corban without a word takes his and Ezora bags inside. “What the fuck is wrong with everyone today.” He mumbles to himself as he walks inside the headquarters and to his surprise it looks as good as it does on the outside. It has a lounge area, kitchen, dining hall and traing area down the hall from the entrance. Corban looks around in aww before being approached by a somewhat timed female with a blonde ponytail and brown eyes.

“Ex..excuse me are you lost?’’

Corban turns around and notices her. “Ah yeah Mr. Cleaus said once were done unloading the wagon come inside. He didn’t give much direction after that.”

“I saw him go down the hall not to long ago. Just wait here I bet he has something planned for you.”

Corban sighs as he does Ezora walks in with Chorus with all the luggage tied around him. “Thanks for the help.”

Corban looks at Ezora with a smirk. “Remember what you said I’m lazy remember.”

Ezora takes a deep breath before telling chorus to sit “So what now, we’re done unloading.”

The girl eyes widen from remembering Ezora back at the magic shop in dragons passing. “Hey I’m surprised you made it hear ok.”

Ezora turns to the female and smiles about. “Oh hey your the girl from the magic shop and yeah Mr. Cleaus gave us ride back on his wagon. So, I’m guessing your one of his mercenaries.”

She nods her and kinda frightened but, intrigued at the fact he still remembers her even if he can’t see. “I have to get going but, If you guys need anything please let me know.”

Corban and Ezora nod there head before the girl goes off. “You know her?”

“Not really we met at the magic shop in dragons passing but, she quickly ran away from what I’m guessing was because I was blind and independent.”

“Could of just left it at blind.’’ Corban laughs before having one of his dreads pulled. “Ow.’’

“Stop horse playing!” Everyone in each of the rooms turn there head and stands up as if it was a God walking through. “Not you guys just these two.” Everyone sits back Down and goes back to what they were doing. Cleaus then throws both of them outfits the same ones that everyone else is wearing “Ok both of you guys get changed into these in the next 15 minutes and meet everyone in the courtyard for evening brief or, can you guys not comprehend simple directions.”

Corban looks at the outfit and it wasn’t nothing that he would thought he would wear but, he didn’t mind the style. It was pretty much like everyone else’s which was a long sleeve leather shirt and pants with a special type of cloth except this one was hooded but the color way being crimson and black stripes and as for Ezora he got a jacket, with a chain mail undershirt, with the special pants like corban’s. The only thing that that was weird was the shoes since was pointed almost like a pair of dress shoes while Ezora shoes were more like boots but not as heavy.

“What are you guys looking at you guys are now at 10 minutes!” Cleaus yells at them before they both run to the nearest closed off area.
