Ramrod woke up screaming shit shit! as if his life depended on it! I wanted to know what running though his head, though crone constellation talking to us was a given, the fact that he had the nightmare about the dead rebel leader was not good at all! It is not good when the ghost is your murder (man slaughter) comes back to you wanting to haunt you and drive you insane until you die! That being said, I felt a surge of terror! You see this culture we take ghosts in this realm very seriously. If the ghost comes wanting to haunt and drive you to your death, this means the person went to the eight hells! That being said the eight hells were eight levels of hell, there deeper you go in the more severe you sin (crime) was. The eighth hell would be for the worst of the worst, rebels, murders and violent wasters (suicides) though I will not go and venture off to find out! Sometimes the hells would come to you in your dreams too in the form of nightmares - or so I read in the philosophy books!
“Did the hells also come to you in the nightmares!” I asked him as he wiped the cold sweat form his brow! “Well did they, this means…..”
“Yes that someone has marked me for death or put a hex on me!” Ramrod said already knowing what was going to come out of my mouth. “But why? I never this mucking jerk before in my life!”
He was huffing and puffing and it worried me. This was rather frightening to see a strong minatour with such fierce reputation being frightened like a little girl! I was starting to wonder if someone had put a hex on him as well, if they did they did to me as well! I could not help but be afraid!
“What did you ever do to him?” I asked trying to figure about a back story behind this and why ramrod went of the rails when he said Abdullah and killed him! This was punishable by death as well, anything involving death or the dead would be punishable by death.
“Well,” ramrod said. “ I killed the crops in his realm years ago, and even killed his family when he was still a little boy though I did not know it was him at the time. I thought it was just a street kid who did not have a family, how was I supposed to know!”
“He joined the rebel group to find me when he learned that the realm was near where I lived,” he said. “He was leading and rebellion and was going to kill many innocent people when I saw him trying to drop of your book I lost it again.”
“What did he do to you?” I asked.
“He killed my parents and my brother in an attack,” ramrod said. This should have been over but in Abdullah’s culture they believe in an eye for an eye. It was rather mucked up! They also believed in worshipping the moons instead of the constellations or nature. Equally as mucked up!
As I looked out the cave i said that we should do something warn the king of the realm or something but my mother who would be vengeful would be on the way to the palace. It was rather risky! “So what will we do about this!”
“I don’t know the rebels will rain the eight hells on to this place if we don’t do something! He went and hit his head on he cave wall! “What -do - we - do!”
It was strange to see a minatour being hexed by a lowly human being that was not a witch or shaman! As I saw him banging his head i was worried that he would get a concussion! “Stop that!” I yelled! “Can we alley with each other or something?”
He stopped banging his head and he started to talk! “That would be a great idea, a wonderful idea though how will you do this and carry it out!”
“We will talk to each others peoples or minatours and we will come up with a plan!” I said calmly! “Sounds good!”
“Sure!” He smiled meekly. “ I will do anything for someone as hot as you!”
“Don’t be serious!”
“But I am,” he said. “You are perfect! Most of the woman I have been with have scars and armour on and I rather not see butch women with pony tails any more! I love smart and cunning women!”
“Are you being honest with me!”
“Yes!”
“Well I love to be with monsters though my idiot mother would be arranging a marriage with some jerk from another kingdom! And a rich one at that. I would rather adventure!”
“Me too!”
I started to giggle at the thought of adventure and action inside and outside the bed room! That said, I know that minatours and humans can’t have offspring. It just was not possible though it was possible for monster and human to be in love! I started to wonder what would happen if my offspring were from him! Though I could not imagine.
I started to wonder if the kids would have my looks and his strength. That was when ramrod walked out of the cave and scratched and soon we would be back after we talk to our people about Alining with eachother!
I walked back towards where my home was but I was not my home ever again! My mother was standing by the door way and started to hiss at me as if to say not to come back in. Don’t worry I won’t come back in at all with your cheating ass! I thought to my self giving her equally a dirty look! Don’t mucking worry!
As I turned around to walk to the town she started to attack me viciously! She was screaming and uttering death threats. I fought the 80 Pound woman off me and slammed her to the ground! I was tired of her verbally and physically attacking me. As I keep walking I just hoped that I didn’t kill the frail old crone! Then I heard, “after all I did for you!” And then the forest went silent for good! I just walked away!
I would never see her again!
When I got to the town I started to think this was not a good idea! But still i walked. I knew where she would be the queen and and the king, they were good friends of mine in the library! So I headed over there to see if they were there.
When I saw that the royal flags there my heart leaped at excited! I barged into the library and saw that they were reading the books about about constellations! “You magesty,” I said! “I need to talk to you!”
The king out his book down and he put on his glasses on he posed, “what for!”
“Abdullah’s army will attack us and the minatours as well if we don’t Aline with each other!” I said panting for air! “I wanted to tell you this so you can take the proper steps for this!”
“You mean the blue turbans,” he said humming about this. “We have been having problems with them for thousands of years! Though your mother being in love with the leader would just be a small portion of the problem!”
“Yes it is sir!”
“I think we need to get rid of these blue turbans before they wipe us out and claim the land under two moons!” He paced looking worried. “It is time we started to Allie with the minatours!”
I smiled at the thought of this. I just hoped that ramrod would have similar success with the minatours though they had a different mind set when it came to this kind of thing.
