Chapter four: Frey - part three
As well as they were sneakning among the tall gras and the dusty bushes, the sun began to go down in the west, and left a stripe of beautiful colours at the horizon. For five hours Stranger and the Leader had been wandering. Both of them were very exhausted and needed to rest, but the strength and the obstancy made them continue. After a couple hours the Grubb Leader stoped and took a look at the map. Stranger stoped to and asked:
- Where are we?
- Well according to the map we're close to the swamp now and if we follow the smal road over there then we'll shortly reach it, answered the Leader as she pointed at a little road.
- Right... how long is it to Frey the oracle nr two, asked the Steef.
- Hmmm...let's see...yeah well I'm not sure but I guess it's about five miles that's only my guess though, so I can't tell if the way is shorter or longer, said the Leader as she put the map in her rucksack.
- You're looking pretty tired...do you want to rest a bit, asked Stranger kindly.
- No, that's not nessesary... I'll make it I just... I just need something to eat that's all... answered the Grubb with a tired voice and with an exhuasted look in her eyes.
- So, do you have any food left or?
- Of course I have, but it's not much... You see, I thought we only would be gone a couple or three days, but we've been away for almost a week and the Grubbs in the village may wonder what has hapend to us... I hadn't expect this journey to be so long and I didn't brought that much food for both of us so, I have decided to return home...
- But you can't do that! I need your help and guidence and without you then... I'll never find Frey or any of the Steef tribes! You've got to stay and help me! Please I can't make it without you!
- Oh nonsense! You can make this trip alone... first you're stronger and faster than me, second you're wearing great Steef armour plus an dubble barrled crossbow... and I was only about to guide you to the Oracle at the first place and nomore than that. And after all this searching for other Steefs is a quest for you, not for me... and the food which's left can only feed on person am afraid, said the Leader with both a sad and a saracastic voice.
- You're making a misstake you know... I mean if we reach Frey's place and he tells us where the Steef tribes are then... it'll be much more easier to find 'em and that's not all... the Oracle told me about the Steef tribes but she also mentioned something about Carak, your old pal.
- WHAT?! But I thought Carak was gone for ever...If I'm not mistaken he must be around 40 years old, cause it was 20 years since I saw him and then he was about twenty years old...anyhow why are you telling me this now?
- I thought you would like to see him again, wouldn't you... and if I'm not misstaken then he would like to see you to, don't you think?
-...errr...I guess your right about that, but how are we going to make this trip with so little food I mean there are nothing eatable out here in the swamp and it'll take long time before we get out of here and the forest as well... but if we're stinting with the food by eating a smal part of it then I guess we can make it, said the Leader.
Stranger smiled and said with proud:
- I knew you would change your mind. C'mon let's have sometinhg to eat and then we'll continue our trip to Frey.
more of the story will come soon!
