29 Cult of The Moon Eater (1/2)
Naga sat down on a stone chair near the fountain. He doesn't have anything to do now and just killing time.
He frowned when he remembered that he wanted to know to what gang the three men who blocked his path before belonged to but due to the recent events, people didn't care or even talk about them.
'Lowly bastards.' He thought.
He also remembered that this celebration is for the former commander general's birthday but he didn't see neither the general, his soldiers nor any military men around.
'Well perhaps there's a different hall or room for them.' Naga thought and chuckled.
He stood up and decided to leave before he start remembering some other random things again.
He wanted to look for Bill to say goodbye when suddenly someone approached him.
”Good evening, Naga.” A beautiful young woman greeted him.
”Oh, Hi.” Naga looked at her and smiled. It was the same woman who tried to spy on him at the hotel.
”Are you also working here?” Naga asked.
”Can I invite you for a talk?” She asked.
”Why?” Naga asked. The woman just looked at him.
He walked and entered a pavilion then sat down on one of the chairs. ”Have a seat.”
The young woman sat down. Naga looked at her. He offered her a sweet bread from his pocket but she declined.
Naga started eating the bead. ”What do you want?” He asked.
”We want your cooperation. We want something from the mansion. If you help us in getting it, we will give you our support.” The young woman said.
Naga looked at her and frowned. ”What's your name?”
”Yuna.” She said.
”Yuna, how confident are you that I won't report this to the mansion?” Naga asked.
”I'm quite confident. Actually, you don't care about us or anyone from this city.” Yuna looked at Naga.
”Well... I care for someone so you're wrong. However, yes, I won't waste time reporting you.” Naga is still eating his sweet bread. He's so satisfied with this bread that his mood was greatly improved.
Yuna was shocked. This was out of her expectation. 'He cares for someone here?'
”What do you want from the city lord's mansion?” Naga asked.
”Eye of The Great Serpent. A gem.” Yuna honestly said.
”Never heard. This gem... Is it important to the city lord? It sounds evil.”
”No. But they know that it's a treasure.” Yuna responded.
”I see. Why do you want it?” Naga stopped eating and asked.
”It's important to our group. I belong to the Cult of The Moon Eater.” Yuna looked at Naga.
'Cult? For a young woman... Scary.' Naga thought and chuckled.
”After getting the gem, what's your plan?” He asked.
”We'll leave the city. It's the only thing that we need here.” Yuna is still calm.
