Our first stop is a city named Reviliion. The map shows it's a rge city. There's a wall around the city, I feel like I've been to a city like that. The man we're looking for is named Peter. He owns a small franchise with locations all over the human and orc territories. We do have to be careful, the holy knight is staying here.
We finally reached Revillion. Yeah, I've definitely been here. This must be the city Kara captured me and Wick in. Maybe I'll pay the old man who gave us work a visit. It could be a nice little stop. We reach the front gates. Security is tighter than I remember. Maybe they reinforced it after the twin attacked us. We reach the gate, a man comes to the back of the carriage and asks to search us.
"Yeah, sure." I tell them.
We all hop out of the carriage. He gives each of us a pat down.
"Why's security so tight now?" I ask the person patting me down.
"We have some important nobles here. They asked for us to increase security." He tells me.
"Ah, that makes sense!" I say.
They finish up and we get back into the carriage.
"I've been here once." I tell the others.
"That's cool man." Henry says sarcastically.
After that is silence. These guys don't really like me. I wish I was with Reed or Mark. Even Wick would do. But I'm not here for friendships, I'm here on a mission.
The carriage brings us to a small stable and drops us off there.
"Be back by nightfall." The driver tells us.
First thing we do is walk around the shopping district and ask random people where Peter is. As we walk through the shopping district I notice the old man's shop. I walk over to it and grab the doorknob. I'm about to walk in when Henry comes up behind me.
"What're you doing boss?" He says.
He holds his arms crossed and gives me a hard stare.
"I'm just going in to ask around." I lie.
Well, I could do both. Who knows, the old man could know who Peter is. I open the door and walk up to the counter. The old man is turned around and digging through some shelves.
"Hey, could I ask you something?" I ask the old man.
He turns towards me. His eyes widen and he drops what he's holding.
"Caleb!" He shouts.
"Hey, how's it been?" I say.
"What happened to you?" He asks.
I walk behind the counter and give him a small hug.
"We had to leave town. Wick wanted to tell you before we left but we didn't have time." I tell him.
"What have you and the others been up to?" He asks.
"I'm actually here on some business, mind if I ask you some questions?"
He gives me a nod and goes into the back room. Henry is sitting at a table near the entrance. I wave for him to follow me. The old man has two couches facing each other. Me and Henry sit on one couch while the old man sits on the other.
"Would you happen to know a man named Peter?" I ask.
He sighs and rubs his chin.
"Wick never did tell you my name did he." He ughs, "I'm Peter... Would you happen to be working with Vincent?"
What the shit? The old man is Peter? Which also means the kind old man that helped us is in cohorts with the revolution. I was thinking Peter would be a young noble, but I guess the old man works.
"You're the man we're protecting?" Henry scoffs.
Peter gives Henry a small smile.
"Are you traveling with Cal here?" Peter asks.
"Yeah, I work with him." Henry says.
"Under! You work under me." I joke.
Henry gives me a sharp gre. He clearly doesn't like to joke, god I miss the others. Peter stands up and walks over to a small desk.
"We should probably get moving then. We don't want to be te." Peter says.
We all stand up and begin to leave the store. Before we do Peter whispers something to a worker. The worker's face lights and they begin to celebrate. Peter comes over to us.
"We can go now." He tells us.
We get out of the store.
"Henry. Go look for the others, I'll take Peter to the stables." I tell him.
"Got it." Henry sighs.
We split ways and I begin to take Peter to the stables. People begin to move onto the side of the road. I hear loud cheers and the crowd becomes hard to get through. A rge decorated float begins to move through the streets. On top of the float is a rge woman. She holds a blue spear and wears golden armor. She has a rge cuff on her fore arm with a clock symbol on it.
"Who's that?" I ask Peter.
"Loki, the holy knight of time." He tells me.
Peter grabs my arm and we run into an alley way.
"We can't walk out in public until this parades over." Peter tells me.
"Why? What's going on?" I ask.
"Yeah, why are we hiding?" A women's voice says.
A dark figure is standing just out of view. She's tall and has long hair.
"Who're you!" I yell.
The woman walks forward, she has a very simir cuff to Loki.
"Oh, you noticed my little trophy here." She giggles, "Loki, the god of time gave this to me! Isn't he sweet."
She gives me a smile and walks over to us. She holds out her hand so I shake it.
"My name's Maria, I'm a holy knight." She says.
"I'm Caleb, and I-" Maria cuts me off.
"I know who you are. I don't need anymore reason to kill you." She grits her teeth.
A long blue spear appears in her hand. Gold armor surrounds her body, she kicks me back and charges at Peter. I get up quick enough to block her attack. She stutters back, I use this to grab my knife. She swings her spear, I duck under it and grab it. I try to cut it with my knife, but it doesn't work.
"You really thought I'd use a real weapon against you?" She ughs.
"What the fuck?" I say, "Peter! Get to the others!"
Peter begins to run away. Maria puts her spear against my waist and lifts me up. She tosses me into a wall and begins to run at Peter. I chase after her and tackle her to the ground. I stomp her head into the pavement and run after Peter. I catch up to him and we run together. I turn around, Maria is just behind us. We reach a turn and right before we go around it, I move back a few steps, we run around the turn again but it happens again, and then again after that. Each time Maria moves close until she finally reaches us. She jumps over me and falls onto Peter.
She has him pinned down on the ground. I run at her and we crash to the ground. The others are walking by when they see us.
"What're you guys doing?" Marlin asks.
"Get the fuck out of here! It's the holy knight." I tell them.
"There's a holy knight here?" Henry says, "Why didn't anyone tell us?"
I sp my forehead. Maria ughs at this.
"You didn't even tell your allies about us?" Maria jokes.
I punch her in the face and pick up Peter on my back. I begin to run back to the stables. The others quickly follow me, Henry comes up to me.
"You knew that a holy knight was here?" Henry says angrily.
"Yeah, I didn't... We'll talk when we get to the carriage." I tell him.
"No! I want to talk about this now!" Henry yells.
Maria follows close behind. She gets just behind Derrick. I throw Peter onto Henry's back and turn around. I summon my barrier behind Derrick and trip onto the ground. Maria walks back and forth in a line behind the barrier.
"This magic is quite interesting!" Maria says before walking off.
Marlin walks over to me and helps me onto my feet. We walk back to the stables and begin our way to the next city. She may be stronger than Kara.
