24 The Ambush. (1/2)
Aron was slowly traveling to Amber village. His space was producing stone and clay by itself. His target was to find a good quality wood source. The forest has some brook or small rivers and water are clear. Finding such a source, was a small problem for him right now. His knowledge and skill were rapidly growing, yet he wasn't satisfied at all.
It was a few hundreds of meters from the village, people were hiding in the bushes waiting for him.
'It should be a blacksmith, this man cannot stay me any longer... I can dodge them, yet I really want to finish this conflict for good. I will plunder his talents and skills, blacksmith's skills will make my position in the village more stable.'
He took out the bow and decided to check their intentions, to confirm his assumptions. The arrows hit the ground close to a man hiding inside one of the bushes. They left their positions and started to walk into his direction.
”WHY DID YOU SHOOT AT US?” One of them shouted, trying to play the victim in this ambush.
”One more step and you will visit underworld. If you think that I will miss by asking your lord about how many carcasses I brought to the village.”
”Well, well, well! You stupid motherfucker! You cannot live without worry, while our sons are missing!”
”You blame me for their disappearance? They beat me every fuckin time, I saw them. My life was hell, even that day when they left. They beat me almost to death.” He faked some emotions while shouting to them.
”It doesn't matter! We cannot let you live. You are an outsider to villages and you must leave!”
”I must leave? Because a bunch of morons left and you blame me for that. IT DOESN”T MATTER IF I WAS INVOLVED OR NOT. YOU WANT TO FIND SOMEONE TO BE YOUR SCAPEGOAT!” It wasn't an annoyance, it was wrath. These people didn't care about what was right and wrong. They chose him as a scapegoat. The bullying from before was probably their doing too.
”I have one more question. Did you order your children to bully me? Answer me! ”
”Hahaha! You think that we would let a freak like you living in our society. You are stupid!”
”Good to hear. Do you want to know something about your children?” He smiled while saying the last sentence.
”Talk and we might let you leave!” The blacksmith was desperate, his nephew was missing for a long time, and he was worried about him.
”Good. I will tell you. THEY ARE FUCKIN DEAD! THEY DIED LIKE PIGS! HAHHAHAHA! Do you want to know something? I slaughtered them because I thought they were beasts, yet I was wrong it was your fault. They were just good children listening to their retarded parents.”
He said with a trace of regret in his voice. These idiots weren't good people, most of their fault was their parent's fault.
”I WILL FUCKIN KILL YOU STUPID FREAK!” One of them couldn't keep his anger anymore and started running in his direction.
”You forgot something!” This moment arrow penetrated the skull of this man. The rest was terrified, they didn't even see when he shoot this arrow.
”Hank, shoot this brat!” Blacksmith shouted and one of man started shooting at Aron.
”HAHAHA! With lousy skill like this...you cannot shoot immobile target..”
Swish! Swish! Swish!... The only blacksmith was standing, all of them were dead.
”You see, I regret not killing you earlier. Trash kid!” This moment Aron penetrated his heart with another arrow.
”So many regrets...with no time to live.” His voice was hoarse and melancholic, the vicious cycle must continue as there are always people that won't let you live peacefully because of their own stupidity.
He put the bodies inside the space and changed clothes into a clean one. There was no glory in killing these people, they were only idiots with prejudice against him.
The village was lively and none knew that blacksmith was dead. They thought, he left to visit his family in other villages. Aron decided to visit the village chief first and explain to him the sickness.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
”Come in..” The silent voice came out of the hut. Aron came in and found out the village chief in the terrible state. He was half dead, it was measles that Alex brought with him.
