99 Fated Encounter (1/2)

The team joined a pretty big caravan that traded in different types of cloth which they carried in huge bundles.Some of it was so thin you could see through but it was extremely resistant to the elements.It was a commodity very well received in Shinjuku by the members of the high society.

There was a lot of money invested on the cargo and even though the road was kept safe, it was not strange to hire their own security personnel in case something unforeseen happened.

Rahz and the others paid a protection fee and a little extra for a place on a wagon and joined the Textile merchants in their travels.The atmosphere was extremely festive as it was a relax trip and they could just take in the sights and the new things the Abyss had to offer.There was another benefit inside the abyss, they didn't have to worry about looking over their shoulder for bounty hunters as the caravan had a few third tiers that took care of the protection.

”Wow!!! That Purple Moon made my Chaos Fire intensity raised by a little bit, I feel that I am advancing without really having to do anything, if is like that everyday, I should be able to possess third tier Chaos Fire before I finish my training at the temple”.

Riddick nodded as his Chaos Fire was also benefiting immensely from the Blue version of the moon.The challenge was to know when to sleep and when to be active because the sky looked like sunset with different shades most of the time.In order to solve this problem, Gnomes invented a device that could help maintain track of the night time according to outside standards and help people traveling in the Abyss get some zzzz…

The trip to the first city of Shinjuku lasted about three months and was too uneventful for Rahz and the others that close to the halfway point were already sick of being coop up in a wagon.In order to cure their boredom, they decided to explore the surrounding areas to the main road and BBQ some of the beast and weird creature they found in the wild.The problem was that the majority of the species in the Abyss all used Chaos Fire or high level poison which made their taste too sour to Rahz and Elune.Riddick and Midori, however, were having a great time as she could eat the poisonous ones and Riddick the rest.

The team's outings usually lasted for a few hours and they were always back with the caravan in the 'evening'.There was no problem for Rahz and the others to catch up to the convoy thanks to Elune's Spirit of the Wolf spell that increased the movement speed of the group and reduced the fatigue during prolonged periods of running.

”Kin!!! Look... a small Non demon” said Riddick while poking a dwarf that was laying by a rock with broken pieces of stone all over his body.

Rahz came over to check what exactly Riddick was talking about and it was in fact a badly battered Dwarf that somehow was still alive.He had a leather drum by his side and had been left as food for the demons in the field.

The Dwarf had a pretty long beard that was braided and adorned by a nice bronze clip but his leather pants were a little too tight for Rahz's taste.Elune was called over and after the urging from Rahz and Riddick she took one of the potions left behind by Master Chrysalis leaving only 1 left for an emergency.There were no other options as he was barely breathing, and had multiple broken ribs, it was truly a miracle he was still alive.

Rahz held the dwarfs mouth open while Elune pour in the potion, the moment the liquid went down his throat, the stone like skin started disappearing and the real skin was left with holes in all the places where a piece of stone was missing before.The dwarfs bones were showing and the skin was being repair in real time.

Gasp!!!

The Dwarf gasp for air as he opened his eyes like he had been underneath water for a while and jump backwards trying to get away from everybody before hitting the rock he was leaning against.

”Is OK, you are save now”

”Hoy!! don't think cause you save me, youcan order me around!! Although, if is the girl over there I'll consider it? Whats up girl… since you save me you have to take responsibility”

….

”Midori give him a beating” said Elune.

Midori move super fast and toss a tailwhip at the dwarf half heartedly since he look pretty chubby but to everyone surprise he quickly roll to the side and bounce off the ground dodging the tail that hit the rock behind.

Boom!!

”Hmm that packed a wallop but you have to …”
