95 Slip Up (1/2)
When the scouts sent to shadow Rahz and the others never showed up, the followers of the G.o.d of Justice were sweating bullets specially the son and father duo that requested the main branch the Ring of Louxx for auction. At the end of the day, it wasn't a bad strategy to use a nice bait to hook a fish and maybe get a whale. Who knows maybe they could get another piece of the set.
The scam had been run by the Orthodox believers many times and this was the first time that it backfired on them. If Elune had already left the area of Naas,there would be h.e.l.l to pay. The Auction Director just hoped the scouts would come back and report but the prospects looked pretty bleak. Ross's father had no other choice but to take Elune's picture to the headquarters of the G.o.d of Justice and explained what happened and labeled the picture as ”Extremely Dangerous Possessor of the Ring of Louxx” the S.O.S made them the laughing stock of the faction but the item was much more important than their reputation.
Rahz and the team were unaware of what was happening behind the scene and were happily returning home after multiple gains from the members. By the time Rahz and the others reached about 15 miles from the town it was already extremely dark out but there was no danger from beast in the area so they continued on their way home.
”Do you guys hear that” Said Igor
Rahz and the others stopped walking and pay attention, but the moment they stopped so did the thing making the sound.
”Nope, I guess it was nothing..”
After 10 seconds the team started walking and a faint sound of ”s.h.i.+ng... Pssh” was heard again but it immediately stopped as it also heard their steps.
Elune whispered ” Igor invis and go check it out”
Igor nodded and head it towards the noise as the other side also decided to inspect what was happening. Igor reached the site and saw 3 small bodies and a half made hole, while the person making the whole saw Rahz from a distance.
”Young master somebody is making a pit to bury 3 corpses”
Ridd.i.c.k repeated the information to the rest of the group and when Elune said out loud, ”The Blood Harvester ”It was overhead by the person in question who drank a potion and started running away.
”Ridd.i.c.k tell Igor to follow him from up in the air and find out where he hides, make sure he stays invisible”
Igor did as told and the team went to inspect the three little corpses. The three corpses were wrapped in a white cloth like a mummy and when Rahz and the others unravel the corpses within, the expression of pain in their faces made Rahz's lose control of his emotions.
”Why.. why.. They are just kids, who can do something so terrible. They shouldn't be older than five years old”.
”What did you say” Said Elune as something clicked in her mind. Elune thought that despite their contorted faces, the kids looked familiar she just couldn't place from where she remembered them.
”They must not be older than 5!!!” repeated Rahz as Rage continue to build.
”Snap...The Awakening Ceremony!! But why them?” Elune check them out for a missing Rune and they checked out.
”Let's go Rahz, all we can do now to help this kids is to catch that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. We need to move quick and alert the others before he has time to escape or dispose of the evidence”.
The team double time it back to town, and as soon as they made it to the gate Igor's voice finally came back and said that he had followed the suspect all the way to the doors of a mansion in the most expensive area of town but he had not been able to proceed further thanks to the tight security of the place. The only piece of information he was able to gather was that all the guards seem to call him Young Master.
Rahz quickly talk to the guards and informed them that they had information about the Blood Harvester and that they need it to speak with the Captain in charge of the investigation. The guards hesitated a little and Rahz was not in the mood to wait so he moved a corpse from his pouch and put it at the feet of the unfortunate guard that jump backwards. The more witted of the two quickly asked Rahz to put it away but all the people around it had already seen it.
