Thanx mudokon101, it's always nice to get replies. Hmm, gather them on a pile...
The room I entered just to avoid the traders was dark and the air was quite thin. It smelled blood and body liquids all over. I started to feel sick in the very moment I took my first breath in there.
Isn't it any light around here? I thought, looking for a button to turn it on. I didn't find one. So I just tried to get used to the darkness in there. I heard heavy breathings, so I assumed the room was filled with sleeping people. Then suddenly a light sparkled in a place far away. After a while it just became a small red spot, but it was strong enough to see. I had no choice but to walk towards it. No, I more stumbled. Unsure of where to put my foot, I just stared at the red spot and hoped that I wouldn't fall down at something. The red spot didn't grow larger as I advanced at it, but it didn't disappear either. Then I bumped at something hard. I heard a growling and almost a annoyed curse, but then the thing I bumped in went back to its silent sleep. The red light weren't far away now. I walked a few more steps and reached for it. I burned my finger on it.
"Ao.." I whispered quickly. The red light disappeared.
"Sorry, no light here. Go back to your guard position now..." I heard someone whisper.
"Who are you?" I whispered back. "Do you know where I can find some light?"
It was silent for a while.
"I am no one special, just a small little ex-boss. And you can't find the light, it will atomatically turn on in a few hours or something."
"Ex-boss? Are you a glukk?"
"Shut up..." another voice grumbled.
"Just stand here until the light goes on. Then you must follow me. I can bring you to Orion. All I need is some weapons, alright?"
I wasn't sure, but something in my brain keeped telling me I had nothing to loose.
"Alright then..." I said and sat down just where I stood.
The light more burned my eyes than brought me some sight. I guess I falled asleep. I stood up and stretched. A slig landed in front of me. He stared at me, more like as if he tried to find out how strong and such I was.
"Are you the one I chatted to lately?" he whispered. I nodded. I couldn't help to notice how much of master looks he send out.
"Hmm... You just have to be the one Orion keeps talking about all the time. You don't look to be something much of a challenge for the big guys but we can give it a try."
I started to worry a little, but I trusted Orion.
I had no choice, right?
The mess hall was no good place. We just sat there, made up a plan. He smoked. I didn't like it since it made my throat almost tie itself up. I remembered at thing. Wasn't this the place Tammer guarded. Yes it was. I looked around.
"Are you looking for something?" Nag, as he was named, said. I nodded.
"A friend of mine. He's supposed to guard here. I wonder if he even is here."
"Hmm?" Nag said and looked around. "We can look for him later, come here. We have someones to find..." he said and almost pulled me away.
