RoaR#13

The unconscious man that Roar had brought back with him was tied to a chair now. Roar and the elf were sitting and the old man brought something with him to wake the man up. He opened a vial that he had with him and made the man smell it. He suddenly woke up and was shocked to see a towering barbarian and a ranger elf and an old man looking at him while he is tied in a dark cellar. He quickly shouted.” Release me at once. Do you know who I am?”.

Roar walked up to him and held him by his jaw and lifted him and his chair.” I don’t care. Now you either tell the old man what he wants to know or because you didn’t let me finish my ‘business’ earlier I will finish it in your mouth.” Roar then smiled with an evil grin while holding him close. That smile sent a shiver down the man’s spine. Roar then released his jaw and he fell with his chair upright on the ground. he became silent.

The old man saw their interaction and liked how Roar handled that situation. He then walked towards the man and looked him straight in the eyes.” Tell me where the essence extractor is.”.

The man’s eyes widened.” Are you serious? Is that what you want?” after saying this, the man started laughing.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Said the old man. he then looked at Roar.

Roar got up. When the bound man saw Roar getting up, he stopped laughing.” No No No. ok ok. But do you know who is it you’re going against?”

The old man looked at the bound man with an emotionless expression.” We’ll manage. Now tell me where it is.”

“They will kill me if I tell you!” said the bound man.

The elf had hidden the glowing herb jar prior to him getting up. She got up, drew her bow towards him and said with a calm voice.” What makes you think we won’t.”

The bound man shivered in his place. Roar saw the man shiver and said.” Believe me. She will, if you don’t tell her.”

The man looked back at the elf and saw her getting ready to shoot. He closed his eyes and shouted. “Master Drake always carries it with him!”

The elf loosened the bow and stepped back. The old man’s eyes widened. He looked at Roar with a concerned expression. Roar saw him and asked.” Who is this master Drake?”.

“He’s the leader of the black cloaks. The same guys that were following you.” said the old man. he then grit his teeth.” The same man that caused my beloved’s death.”

Roar got up and went towards the bound man.” Where can I find him?”.

The man looked at Roar.” No one can find him. He finds you if he wants.”

Roar stood there for a second debating whether to hit him or not. But then he took out his stone. Nodded at it and then put it back. He then looked at the man with a smile that scared the man.

“What if I destroy his base?” Roar then looked at the elf.

The elf looked back and nodded.” Good idea Roar.”

“Are you crazy? There is an army at the base. You will all die.” Said the bound man while laughing.

“No one is dying.” Said the old man with a smile. He then looked at Roar and smiled.” Right?”

“You are starting to get it old man.” said Roar with a big smile on his face.

The old man looked towards the elf.” Where is your sister? Take me to her until you get the device so I can stabilize her condition for her to be able to take the medicine. It is a process that needs to be done.”

The elf saw the determined gaze of the old man. “Ok I will take you to her.”

“Quick, it is a lengthy process.” Said the old man as he was packing his stuff.

“What about Roar?” said the elf while looking at him.

“Don’t worry about me. I will go see Lion.” said Roar with confidence.

“It’s not the time to hunt. Roar we need to be serious here.” The elf was disappointed at Roar.

The old man’s eyes lit up when Roar said that. He then said with a lot of excitement.” Do you know the Lion?”. Roar nodded. “Oh, very well. This is getting better and better.”. the old man was very excited. He then went towards the door and spoke towards the elf.” No time to waste. Let’s get to her and don’t worry about Roar. he is doing an amazing job.”

The elf went after the man towards the door. She stopped for a second and looked back at Roar.” sorry for doubting you Roar.”.

Roar saw the elf’s remorseful expression and smiled back at her. “It’s ok. Don’t worry about it.”.

“Thank you.” the elf was happy that Roar was so understanding. “Don’t do anything rash before I am with you, ok?”. Roar nodded. “of course!”. The elf smiled and left and closed the door behind her.

The bound man looked at Roar, now that he was alone with him.” You really think that you can defeat him? You are crazy.”

Suddenly the room felt darker than usual. The sound of heavy breathing could be heard in the room. The bound man was scared and shivering because the source of that sound was none other than Roar. Roar walked with heavy steps towards the bound man.” I have this need. You know?”

The bound man’s eyes widened and he was struggling to get free and run. “I have been carrying it with me for quite some time.” Said Roar. the man looked at him with scared eyes and said” Please don’t kill me.”

Roar looked at him. He then crouched on the ground in front of him and said with an evil smile.” Since you didn’t let me do it outside. You get to stare at it all day.” And laughed out loud as he was doing his ‘business’, in front of the bound man.

Screaming sounds and laughter could be heard coming from the cellars of the old man’s house.
