Chapter 478 - Fragmented (2/2)
*****
The constant sound of his body banging against something was heard, and he had eventually opened his eyes. Harry could only see the snow and the back of the large man's foot that was carrying him. His hands had been tied with galthrium, even with his powerful Ki it was impossible to break. As for his swords, they were lost somewhere in the snow.
”I'm sorry Ray.” Harry said, realising that one of the swords was the black raven that had been gifted to him, but he was sorry for something else as well. With Ray gone, Harry felt like he was left with the task of looking after Avrion, filling his position and here he was, having been captured by the Dark guild.
It was dark outside and he had no clue how long the man had been walking for. Where they were he did not know, but eventually he could hear the sound of laughing and people chatting. He was thrown onto the ground and placed near a fire.
That's when Harry realised he was in a temporary made camp that looked to have around fifty or so members in it. They hadn't sent their full forces to attack, it looked like they didn't even break a sweat in their forces today. Even now he was looking at a small portion of them.
'It was a mistake to come to the Shadow continent.' Harry thought.
”I'm tired.” The man said who had hurled him all this way. ”Listen here, don't try to escape. I have captured you once on his orders but if you try to leave, then I won't bother capturing you again. No way am I lifting your body up in one piece, you will be dead in a body bag, ya hear?”
Harry didn't say anything and the man took it as an answer as he went over to the others to celebrate with a drink and some food. They had to be some distance away from the others now, otherwise they wouldn't be making so much noise out in the open like so.
Harry sat there frustrated that he had allowed himself to be captured. Whatever the Dark guild was planning to do with him, he wanted no part in it. He would rather die than help them towards their plan, but with the cuffs on and his Ki being weak, he was unsure what to do in his predicament.
It seemed like Harry had been brought to the centre of the camp where the leader of this Dark guild platoon laid. The man that brought him in was a Dark guild master. These ranks were set up to be a copy of those at Avrion, so the master here was the same as a sash master. Which would mean the man in front of him contained the same strength as someone at Sir K or Wilfred's level. This thought made him feel a little better that he wasn't taken in by some no name.
His pride would have been hurt if he were knocked out by a normal dark guild member. When the cheering and laughter died down, each of them looked into the fire and Harry saw this as his opportunity. Through listening to their conversation he had learnt that the man's name was Mukdad, and while they were speaking they talked of such things as their family back home and more, it made Harry realise that not all of those who worked with the Shadow were complete monsters, there were humans too.
Harry thought maybe he could reach out to this man's softer side.
”Why, why have you kept me alive?” Harry asked.
”I ask myself that same question, boy.” Mukdad said. ”It's best you ask the leader himself when you see him.”
”The Dark guild leader, Morfran?” Harry asked.
”No, we work for someone you apparently should know well, as he used to be on your side until recently.” The person he was talking about was Gary.
