33 Cabin Fever (1/2)

The days dragged on, daily training, resting by the tree in the courtyard, learning how to read and equip armour properly without help. Everything leading up to becoming more self sufficient if we weren't trapped at someones house with no way to flee.

We spent a majority of the time in either the kitchen or the garden. I would spend my time cooking, training and then playing with Elyn while she would eat snacks I made, watch me get beat up and play with me.

Strangely enough once we had settled in it seemed like Ilmilmis had left the town. Which probably had something to do with her travelling when we met her.

After a while things dragged on however. A few weeks of endless training in a mind numbing cycle and I began wanting to leave. The endless and boring same few actions repeated over and over. Elyn seemed to be suffering too, she started asking for books which had to be read to her as she learnt how to read the words of this new language.

It was at this point forces beyond our understanding started to move.

Sarryn approached me as I was resting with Elyn leaning against me while we sat under the tree in the courtyard.

”My lord, I believe you have learnt enough of the basics that it is now time for us to move.” she addresses me expectantly.

Curious to what she means I ask, ”Time for us to move where?”

”It was never safe here my lord, now Ilmilmis has left we have to move quickly before we are noticed.” she says while glancing around with her eyes, making sure no one entered the courtyard while we are talking.

I take a moment to think, sure I didn't like Ilmilmis much but I can't see where she was a threat. At most her trying to kill some peasants who were working with the other side. Which for gangs is pretty common, step out of line and you get punished one way or another. The only issue is how long it was going on for before she took action as that would display how skilled a leader she is but she failed at that, someone else was able to step in.

Someone else stepped in. A leader would usually want to eliminate the people undermining their leadership to take credit for what those people did. I was stupid, we need to leave before she decides my actions of saving the towns folk was rebelling against her power.

”Yes we need to leave, I'm not sure we can trust you, but I agree we need to leave here today. Give me a reason why I should trust you and we can go.” I start whispering back to Sarryn.

I have to place Elyns safety first and that requires getting far away from the areas Ilmilmis controls.
