4. Escape part -2

Sun was at peak in jungle a boy was traveling on horse he raised speed of horse again and again.

This horse was stolen back from camp where he was held. He first unhooked horse carried it for 200 meters on foot and later rode. He planned meticulously and didn't even took single chance which could lead to failure.

He was way far from camp. Thanks to horse.

' Those fools might not even know that I am not in iron cabinet, one searches for thing which is missing, I purposely left behind a decoy and no clue were left behind, off course 2 missing guards and horse is bit suspicious but there is no one clever enough to join the dots.'

He was right no one knew at back at camp, as sun rose everyone was busy in there , so they thought guards might have changed shift and went to sleep, or went to relief themselves, as for horse going missing it was bit common while camping outside in forest.

Kevin was playing in carriage with lily, but it didn't looked like he was enjoying, he was feeling sense of unease since morning, priest and saints have kind off 6th sense.

'Stop the carriage,' He ordered, he arranged his clothes. As his carriage stopped so did all surrounding warrior s and guards.

'Bring me key to cabinet'

As he was taking step to cabinet, his heart beat was increasing, his feelings of unease increased, as he opened carriage, he unconsciously took step back, blood was spilled on floor of carriage,

'What the hell?'

Guards check him, as they turned the body, everyone was shocked as they found one of then lying dead there,

'No,No,Noo that bastard he escaped.'

Arthur was already 300 km away from camp spot , journey is easy and faster when we are alone , he currently he was resting in small village, in an inn. He sold his horse for money on the way here, as horse was well maintained by church it fetched good price.

He had a hearty meal, and went to his room to rest. As he took of the hood, and looked at mirror, he looked at this burnt face.

'Alas, I reached so far,' He touched his face.

' This price is nothing much compared to that I get to live ,but I need to travel even far for me to completely be safe, I will take a nap first and then decide further.'

He immediately went to sleep, he was relaxed a bit. This was first time he relaxed after coming to this world.

He woke up late at night, he was still sleepy and tired, and as he rub his eyes he saw 2 moon through his window,

'This moons they are indeed beautiful, previously I didn't had time to praise their beauty'

He got refreshed,

' Now I although I escaped, but I don't know where to go or what to do next, in this world there are something knights , they cultivate something called Qi , but am already past age of laying foundation, also I have no talent.'

He sighed

' There are also priest and saints etc. they are devotees of various god who serve God and borrow powers from Gods ,they are bit superior to warriors , but I personally think warriors are better since they have their own source of powers as for devotees they just leach of gods.'

'Also orthodox Churches are difficult to follow and have strict rules that devotees must follow, on other hand unorthodox church devotees they are free to do whatever they want they have to just provide enough sacrifices in exchange for borrowing powers but it's still the same, also there are mages they are strong , but again no talent.'

'You thinking what to do next right, sleepy head. 'Suddenly he heard an unknown voice, he instantly went for his sword,

'Don't even try its useless,' He still took his sword and as his turned around he saw a cute black cat resting on window. He was truly shocked.

He knew this world had superpowers and all that but talking cat was still abnormal in this world.

He pointed sword at her

'Don't worry I have no ill intention ' as she said it she scratched her paws of wall adjacent to window and deep marking of approx 30 cm long and 1.5 cm deep , were left.

Arthur ' What the?'

'As you can see I would have already killed you if I wanted,'

Arthur understood this cat was not simple.

'What do you want?'

Cat smiled ' Do you think you have something that I need dream on.'

Arthur frowned ' Then why are you here?'

She came bit closer to Arthur and scratched his face a bit, and tasted drop his drop of blood. And immediately spat it out.

'Disgusting.'

From her purse she took her handkerchief and cleaned her tongue.

Arthur '....'

' since I was sent to help you ,I thought you might have some peerless talent ,but you look like some pushover.'

Arthur was silent he knew if he fight back he will lose his life, in storm tall and proud trees are first to get uprooted, while grass which bows down survives. Moreover whatever she said was right.

She lost all her interest in him.

'Let's get to point, brat you have no talent for magic and your half awakened bloodline is no good either, since I was sent here to guide you I thought you will be peerless talent but.. .'

She sighed ' You are no better than ordinary folks out there.'

Arthur knew he had nothing special,

'Wait what do you mean by half awakened bloodline, I am sure I had no bloodline, and also who sent you to guide me.'

Cat had lost all her interest in Arthur

'You might not know but almost every being has some kind of bloodline, only 10 % those bloodiness are Awakened when one is around 15 years old, But remaining 90% need some kind off catalyst or some conditions to full filled to be awaken, you have bloodline of unknown origin, it was probably awakened after you were tortured and it is not that thick at all, as for other question you don't have strength to know who sent me.'

There are various kinds off bloodline , many of them can be traced back to some mythical being, but after years they have become diluted and also due to random matings it is difficult to trace their origin, if one has good and dense bloodline his path of knight will be extremely easy.

'But I have no choice but help you, there is way to make up for your lack of talent, but …'

'I am listening'

' If we combine my blood with you it is possible to give you strength, and talent for magic, but after that you have to join our organization first.'

' I would like to know more.'

' No more questions you are not eligible, Yes or no that's i want to hear' Celia spoke in threatening tone.

' Okay i am ready.'
