CHAPTER 3
She felt swinging and rocking under her. She was sitting on something soft, still having the sack over her head. She smelled salt and heard people shouting and swearing everywhere. Someone came down a stair. She tried to say something, but it became nothing but a mumble. Someone pulled the sack off her head. The light was dazzling first, but she slowly got used to the light. It stood someone there. He untied her hands. Eche removed the cotton herself and looked on the stranger. He seemed to look at her too.
“Who are you, where am I and why am I here?” she asked him. He didn’t reply. Eche sighed and looked around herself. She was sitting in a small room with a window, everything was wooden and she was on the lower one of two beds. It was a stair at the other side of the room. The stranger still hadn’t moved. Eche rubbed her wrists.
“What is this place?” she asked. Not even a reaction. She reached out a hand and touched him. He grabbed her hand. She tried to pull it back.
“I was waiting for that movement.” He said with a dark voice.
“Let go and answer my questions! Why am I here?!”
“Because Pargas brought you here. This is a boat. Her name is Prydwen. My name is Jachar. You’re here because someone told us to rid you from your village.”
“Rid me? Why? Am I dangerous? Is something dangerous for me? Is something happening?”
“A friend from your village tried to get you out of there. I don’t know why. Carmisan sends his regards and says that he will try to keep your flower alive. I guess he knows something too.”
“Yeah, thanks Jachar. Where are we going?”
“To Mudos. People says it’s the place where miracles takes place. I seriously doubt that because of the ongoing war between the mudokons and the glukkons. If I were you I would stay close to the sea. Usually, glukkons don’t care about the ones by the sea.”
“Mudos? That’s not too bad, I guess. Thanks for answering my questions, Jachar.”
“Ah… No problems.” He said and walked up the stairs. Something crashed and people yelled at each other. She fought a will to get out. After all, she knew what she wanted to. Didn’t she? She laid down on the bed. She decided that she would try to find Pargas later. Who ever he was.
