Month 2-Along the Silver Sea (City of Alshahib) “The City of Slithering Serpents”
The traveling companions embarked from the ferry as they looked upon the new land.”Now, remember what I said before we boarded the ferry” Raubahn paused looking around for any guards, “Only the Kenkomishi may reveal himself” Raubahn stated nodding to one of the traveling companions and then after receiving confirmation nods from all three the traveling party moved forward into the crowded streets.”Long have I awaited the return of my people to this land.”Raubahn stated his eyes moved scanning the streets for any hidden dangers.”Watch your belongings here”, Raubahn began, “If I remember correctly, this place is notorious for thieves.” Raubahn stated as he pushed forward ignoring the cries of shopkeepers trying to urge him to buy their magnificent swords or their gaudy armor.”Things have changed since we last left.” Raubahn whispered to himself as he waded through the now crowded market.”We must seek a man called “The Charmer”, Raubahn began, “His hideout is marked by a serpent pattern forming an A.” Raubahn concluded as he scanned the city walls for the pattern he described.”There.” Raubahn stated with a motion towards a wall to the farthest corners of the market.”We must move now, before we are noticed” Raubahn stated after receiving nods from his comrades. The traveling party moved across the bustling market ignoring the shopkeepers around them and as they reached the marking on the street they turned the corner only to meet an ordinary looking man sitting on a barrel that seemed to belong to a shop nearby. “Seeking slithering serpents shall only bring bad luck.” The man stated not even looking up from his sleeping posture.”But those whom seek serpents shall find the charmer whom controls them.” Raubahn responded not seeming interested in the man’s statement.”Ah, so you seek the charmer of serpents?” the man questioned as he stood up and stretched.”Yes, we seek the charmer in search of wisdom.” Raubahn stated again and the man motioned for them to follow.”Not many seek the charmer nowadays” The ordinary looking man stated.”In fact, most that seek him are but common people seeking favors.” He stated again looking over his shoulder at Raubahn.” Are you seeking favors?” He questioned. “No, we seek nothing but wisdom from the charmer.” Raubahn stated as they stopped in front of a rather ordinary looking door with the same markings that had led them to the ordinary man.”The charmer is through this door”, the man began holding out his hand” A humble reward for a good serpent?” The man asked and Raubahn handed the man a coin and the man said something in some ancient dialect and walked passed them counting his reward and then shoved the coin in his pocket.”Only I need to go in” Raubahn began, “Guard the door and make sure we don’t have any, unwanted guests” Raubahn finished as his comrades nodded and stood guard nonchalantly as Raubahn entered the room. Inside the room sat an Old decrepit looking man playing a flute near a rather large jar. As the melody of the flute slowly increased a cobra erupted forth from the jar swaying to the sound. As the old man slowly became aware of his new guest the melody slowly lulled and with it the cobra slowly retreating back into the jar. When the cobra had fully retreated the flutes melody stopped and the old man cautiously placed a gold laden jar topper on the large jar. The old man looked up towards his visitor “Whom is it that seeks the charmer”, he began, “And for what purpose.” Raubahn slowly removed his traveling hood “It is I, the one whom learns beasts”, Raubahn stated, “And I seek wisdom from the charmer of serpents.” Raubahn finished as the old man’s eyes widened in surprise. “Learners of beasts have not visited this charmer in many moons”, the old man began as he looked intently at his visitor, “Nor have they seeked wisdom of all things.” The old man stated still staring intently at his visitor.”The Venomous ones sought no more of our learning and purged the land of our knowledge.” Raubahn stated the old man’s eyes widened even more with each word.”Then you seek the master of charmers?” The old man questioned, “No, I seek wisdom.” Raubahn stated as the old man began to laugh.” Wisdom may come at a price for which you are not ready to pay.” The old man stated opening the jar. “Pay the price of wisdom and you shall receive it.” The old man stated motioning Raubahn forward.”Then it shall be paid.” Raubahn stated reaching into the jar and pulling out a scroll.”The price has been paid”, the old man stated, “Wisdom has been granted by the charmer, however, use this wisdom wisely for it may lead the learner of beasts into the lair of the venomous ones.” The old man stated.”So shall it be” Raubahn stated donning his traveling hood again and giving a slight farewell to the old man whom had begun to play his melody again. Raubahn sighed as he looked upon his traveling companions and nodded.”We must now seek a woman called “The Seer”, Raubahn stated, “Only she can decipher this.” Raubahn stated lifting the scroll.”Come, I have the feeling we are being watched.” Raubahn stated turning and moving towards the bustling city streets with his comrades following him while on the rooftops two men clad in black armor overlooked the four comrades.”So, they dare step foot on this land again?” One of the mysterious men stated to his companion.”So it seems, and they received something from one of their many truthsayers.” The other stated as they both stared down towards the ordinary looking door.”We will find out what soon.” The other stated as both men sunk into voids of darkness and disappeared. Many nights passed as the traveling party moved through the countryside stopping only for food and water.”We will find her lair on top of the mountain”, Raubahn began pointing towards a nearby mountain face, “Once there we will have this deciphered and make our next move.” Raubahn stated as they began to move towards the mountains.”Be careful of where you climb on this mountain”, Raubahn began grasping the first handhold, “This rock face is torturous to those whom haven’t climbed it before.”Raubahn finished climbing more followed by his comrades. Hours later they had reached the summit of the mountain and looked for the cave which the seer made her home.”There” Raubahn stated pointing out a nearby cave marked with the same seal as the charmers.”Again, Only I will enter the cave and you all will guard the entrance.”Raubahn stated aware of the two mysterious figures that had been following them since they had left the city. Inside the cave it seemed dark and dank until Raubahn had come upon the chamber that held the seers home. It was much like the charmers home except the snake jar. The seer seemed to be in a deep meditative trance as Raubahn walked into the chamber.”Whom seeks the seer”, She began, “And for what purpose?” Raubahn slowly removed his traveling hood “It is I the learner of beasts” Raubahn began, “And I seek your knowledge of wisdom.” Raubahn stated as the seer opened her eyes and they widened at the sight of the man.”Many moons have passed since a learner of beasts has seeked my knowledge.” The woman stated staring intently at Raubahn “One must pay the price of knowledge.” She stated again motioning Raubahn forward.” Then it shall be paid.” Raubahn stated handing the seer the scroll he had received.”Ah, wisdom for knowledge to be granted.” The seer stated excitedly.”It seems this knowledge would lead to the lair of the venomous ones” the seer began, “Do you wish to take such a journey?” She asked.”Yes, the one who learns beasts wishes to reclaim their place.” Raubahn stated. The seers’ eyes widened with each word.”Then so is fate.” The seer stated grabbing a blank scroll and scribbling on it as she read from the scroll she received from Raubahn.”May this knowledge lead you to glory.” The seer stated handing over the new scroll to Raubahn. “If fate shall have it.” Raubahn stated firmly taking the scroll from the woman and donning his traveling hood then giving a slight farewell to the seer before exiting the cave. Raubahn looked surprised as he exited the cave and saw two men on the ground dressed in black armor.”Oh, someone has been busy.” Raubahn stated as the others nodded. “Let’s find out who they are.” Raubahn stated grabbing one of the black garbed men and vigorously backhanding the man to wake him.”Tell me stranger”, Raubahn began, “Who are you and why do you follow us?” Raubahn questioned the mysterious man. “We are mere men whom only seeked knowledge from the seer.” The man replied hastily and frightened.”Lies” Raubahn stated staring the man down.”No Learner of beasts!” He screamed quickly regretting the statement.”Ah, so you know who we are then”, Raubahn started, “Then you must be working for someone who is interested in what we are doing.” Raubahn stated as he looked at the man’s clothes” From what it seems you are a member of the royal army.” Raubahn stated. “How did you-“, He stuttered out, “Oh, you haven’t changed your uniforms since we left so it’s quite obvious.” Raubahn interrupted “Well, we can’t let you live now can we?” Raubahn questioned drawing his kilij from it’s sheathe.”No please don-“The man shouted as Raubahn quickly dispatched his unconscious friend and himself.”Now we have to work in a much more secretive manner.” Raubahn stated making hand seals and engulfing the bodies in flame incinerating the evidence.”Now that we know for certain that they are on to us.” Raubahn stated.
