User blog:GoldenDiva/Dead realm: Conversation with the Condemned 3

A scroll lays this time inside a abandoned basement deep under the house. Hidden and blocked by recent earthquakes, it glimmers silently. Inside of it, a conversation between the two unknown men takes place in somewhere unfamiliar. Once again, the scroll's damage will distort some of the conversation. As if that mattered....

''Footsteps getting louder as they near somewhere. Glass being put down, sigh heard.''

Silence

-Sir, are you okay? That last reclamation you did has taken a toll on you.-

"I'm fine."

-But sir, you aura is unstable. You need to rest.-

"Then I'll take a vial and keep up."

-Sir! I insist you rest, even for a while! I cannot let you continue to tire yourself!-

Silence

"Fine then..."

''Collapsing armor. Power dying''

"Wake me up in a hour."

-Very well sir.-

''Static. Time passes.''

-Sir! Your time has passed.-

Man waking, standing.

"Did anything happened to their lands?"

-No sir, when I verified, the few invaders that tried to capture the lands were flushed out by the recuperating residents.-

"That's good, that's good."

-Well, sir?, What are you going to do now?-

"Well, now, I head to the capital."

-Why so?-

"I overheard that they have recently welcomed someone of great importance. One of the big boss of that project. I will extract any info I can."

-Very well, sir, I will keep this place safe while you are gone.-

"Nobody is going to invade this place. And you're not branded here, you can go whenever you wish."

-I know sir and I appreciate your hospitality, but I wish to help whenever I can.-

"So be it then. But, go if you wish to."

-Very well, I'll be here when you coma back.-

''Air crackling, a rift opening. Body passing through''

Hours pass

Rift opening, body crossing

-I bid you a welcome back, sir!-

"No need to."

-Well, did they have anything to the responsible?-

"Yes, I've also gave the leak to the others."

-Others?-

"Yes, others like me."

-I see. Well, what will you do now?-

"In a few days, we will seek him out."

-I see.-

You look like you want to say something."

-Well...-

"No need to panic, just say it."

-It's about your last defense sir.-

"And? Did anything happened when I was not here?"

-No sir, the invaders won't be coming back.-

"What is it then?"

-The lady was here.-

"What!?"

-I saw her while walking around the lands.-

"Are you sure it was here?"

-No doubt about it, sir, purple nails, two Dao Bagua. I'm absolutely certain.-

"I see. Do you know why she came to those lands?"

-Well, I overheard her saying she is searching for someone.-

"Looking for them too?"

-It would seem to.-

"Strange indeed."

-What will you do?-

"Can you go back and watch her movement?"

-Very well sir!-

"Thank you! If anything happens, I'll bring you back here."

Sudden static
