115 Gotta enslave them all 2 (1/2)

The memory of their shameful encounter had yet to fade, but against expectation, no one spread any rumours or made fun about them. The players who had witnessed this event did not think much about it. They had long forgotten about this and decided to pay every bit of their attention to acquiring their NPCs.

Although this development could not have been any better for the both of them it still left a bad taste in their mouths. While their reputations were not in any form of danger, it was their pride that had taken the brunt of the damage.

The feeling of being made a fool of did not disappear and was reminding them over and over again about the situation. His ridiculing smile, the gall to just disappear while they were preoccupied. Everything hateful came right back at them, making them relive the humiliation inside of their heads.

This grudge could not be put aside that easily but getting revenge for it is easier said than done. They had been searching for any NPC that even remotely fit his descriptions, followed even the most ridiculous rumour just to locate him. Yet, just as he had appeared, he quietly disappeared as well, leaving them without any chances with getting their peace of mind.

Finding him in the middle of the current chaos, was akin to finding the needle in a haystack. The only upside this chaos brought with it, was the fact, that he could not hide for too long before being found once more.

This hateful NPC would not be able to stay quiet for too long before mayhem occurred. Wherever he appeared chaos would follow. It was just as if, he actively tried to antagonize as many players as possible with his antics.

The dream of making Moirai their slaves was enough motivation to keep searching for his whereabouts. They had even hired other NPCs and used this manpower to cover as much ground as they could.

This actions still did not yield the result they had hoped for, but they would not stop just because they had suffered a setback. Their grudge was running way to deeply for that. Regardless of how much hardships they had to endure or how many dead ends they would find, sooner or later he would be caught.

This was enough to motivate them and to keep on trying against all odds. Even the most ridiculous rumour was investigated and searched for any kind of potential traces leading to him.

Given his unique appearance, it should be easy to spot someone like him. They had yet to see another NPC with burning hair or with strange runes embedded in his forehead. So any description that remotely mentioned one of these things was worth looking into.

Though the first one had claimed to have spotted an NPC, which was burning. This much was not a lie, though the charred remains left no doubt, that this had not been the NPC they had been looking for.

After it had been revived it did not even resemble the hateful face, they were looking out for. They ignored this NPC and kept their vigilance about all the rumours. But still, their persistence did not pay off.

The violent trouble maker, nothing more than a small fry and was taken care of in a matter of seconds. He had been taken in by someone else and was promptly forgotten.

An NPC with a unique fighting style, a good find but still a disappointment in comparison to their target. It was quickly subdued and had no other choice then abiding by the rules of someone else from now on.

Someone who decided to be sneaky to escape from the players was discovered quickly and could not escape the fate of its brethren. It did not take much effort to convince it. Regardless of how many NPCs they had followed and spectated none had been able to refuse for more than a minute.

Every wee bit of confidence, which they might have had, disappeared with their capture. What was left was blind obedience for their masters. This sight kept on repeating no matter how many times they saw this scenario play out.

Not an ounce of pity could be found in their faces. They only found it lamentable, that they had to watch all of this just to maintain the minuscule chance of spotting the brazen NPC, that had caused their public humiliation.

No matter how many different NPCs they had looked at, none of it even came close. The NPC Moirai was shrouded in mystery and remained a complete irregularity in this world. Its behaviour could be compared to a player in its complexity and its manners and bearing did not resemble a typical NPC at all.

This weird mix formed the NPC called Moirai. This facts alone made it a rarity in the world of Primal Survival, but there was more to it than these words can convey. It did not seem to fit in this place. Its presence felt distant and foreign and its unorthodox nature raises a lot more questions than expected from a simple NPC.

But before they could get any answers from this NPC they had to find and capture him first, which was easier said than done after all the effort they already had spent on this particular task.

Laura and Samantha decided to take a short break and discuss the current situation before continuing their blind search. The odds of succeeding were not in their favour, that is why they sat down at a cliff and stared into the wide surroundings.

The scenery was calm and serene if not for the mob of players running all over the place searching for any last remnants of NPCs hiding somewhere. But they did not pay any heed to minor details like this.

For the time being and even if it was just meant to be shortlived, they took it all in and relaxed among the chaos.

Times like these were a rare occurrence for both of them. Between all of their responsibilities and the expectations placed on them, it was hard to be not under any kind of stress.

No words had been spoken so far as they were still enjoying the view, but the issue was nagging st them subconsciously.

Therefore it did not take too long before the obnoxious NPC became the topic once again. However this time around they started to discuss their plans after it had been caught by them.

By indulging themselves in their fantasy, they had found a way to deal with the lack of success. Whether it was Laura dreaming about possessing its combat abilities and the secret to its strength or Samantha longing for utilizing it in the upcoming battles.

Many different ideas were brought up and quickly agreed on. They decided to share the custody to avoid tension building between the 2 of them.

Although the competition was important, it was not nearly worth enough to strain their relationship over.
