Chapter 57 - Fifty-Five (2/2)

They exchanged looks, one calm and assertive and the other pleading and hopeful, until the older brother sighs.

For some reason I sympathized with Eyope, the older brother; maybe because we have something in common… like a dumb younger brother for instance.

They waited for the curve to pass, and once the horses were walking in a straight line they both took off their capes.

And me and Leo just stared.

”We are Antshiva. Our people usually live only on the island, not having many reasons to travel through the main island, so many of you do not even know we exist.”

They had very humanoid bodies for what I could tell overall, except for the fact that they had three pair of arms.

Not one.

Not two.

But three, a total of six limbs coming of as spider legs, all bulging with muscles and coming out from their sides.

My mind, however, quickly went to how fighting they wouldn't be pleasant; they could hold you down and still have limbs to beat you up.

Hopefully I wouldn't have to test it first hand; but knowing me I was already preparing myself for it. They do not cover themselves anymore as Seiroe starts questioning me again:

”Where were you born Thilgon? Can I call you Thilgon, Terror?”

”Oh, yes you may, and I don't know exactly where, for a baby hound countries weren't part of my daily life, but I think somewhere between here, Tregaron, and Airedale, before the elven forest starts, or were they collided, I don't know, I just know that I had contact with both, humans and elves back them… Wait… Aeglos!” I call back, making him look up with a questioning look in his eyes. ”Where did you found us the first time? That cave, back then…”

He stopped to think, first to understand the question, as he says: ”It was in Airedale towards the north, but closer to the border.”

”Thanks!” I turn back around towards the twins, saying: ”Well, yeah, that's that.”

”Oh, so Aeglos knew you as a pup? How does that work and…” He kept talking, the only thing missing is a notebook and a pen because, damn, he simply wanted to ask me about everything! I answered most of it, trying not to give many details as he would listen attentively, sometimes stopping to stare into space only to come with other many questions.

I think he is trying to write a book about me at this point… and I must add, I would make a goddamn badass hero I say, ha!

Cough cough.

Author: Hold it! Hold it up!

MC: …What are you doing?

Author: Holding the fourth wall you tried to break!

MC:…

Author: Pew, anyway, how are you guys doing? It has being a long time since we were able to stop and speak like this right? Enjoying were the story is going? Too many characters at once?

MC: I-

ML: I'm enjoying so far… feels like it's getting closer…

Author: Yeah, I know right? Building up the tension and all that… *whispers* only makes it more special and better with all the expectation don't you think?

ML: I would rather have it now.

MC:… Have what? What you are guys talking about? Stop leaving me out of it!

Both keep leaving him out of it.

ML: There is only one thing I want to complain about, beyond the time is taking me to have some fun.

Author: What is it?

ML:… Why the hell there are so many new hot characters appearing one after the other?! Are you trying to tempt someone? *Brings MC into a hug, closing his eyes while MC complains and tries to wiggle away* There is the annoying Aeglos who is too close to them for comfort, the dwarf Ragnur who is too carefree and cheerful towards them for my taste, the annoying woman and her Templar, Isa and Nacon, those three at the party, Cain, Seth and Dearil, who I did not see unfortunately but did not like their auras at all, and now these twins, Eyope and Seiroe! Did you even realized that you did not make a single ugly character until now?! What for?!

Author: W-what do you mean? *acts innocently until gets stared down by the ML* Ok, ok! But is not my fault ok?! The readers asked for it! They said I was going to easy and you needed rivals!

ML: Oh… is that so… *stares you down*

Author: Ok, Ok! I'm joking, joking! *fears for readers life*

ML: *gets annoyed, stares Author down again* Then tell me the truth!

Author: The truth?

ML: Yes!

Author: Well…I'm stalling you so the readers can run away.

ML:…

Author:….

Run!

LOL
