Third person POV
Another new day had begun in heathmoor. It was dawn and the air was cold but fresh.
Resting by the fire pit, in his tunic. Face covered with grey bandages leaving only his eyes, Vorgen could be seen sitting on a chair, thinking with a solemn look. At that moment he looked like a fine piece of art.
(Think of the thinking man statue)
Vorgen: "hmm....."
Coming out of the tent Lorderius appeared in his tunic.
Lorderius: "Up so early eh? Beautiful morning isn't it?"
Vorgen: "I didn't get any sleep last night and yeah it's beautiful"
Lorderius: "You're going to die sooner or later if you keep that up"
Vorgen: "It's just hard to sleep..."
*whispers* she keeps appearing in my head when i tried to sleep"
Lorderius then sat across him, rubbing his chin and yawning before noticing the strange behavior of his friend.
Lorderius: "That look.... Something is in your mind, i reckon it's something stupid "
Vorgen: "No.....this is different.....and fuck you"
Lorderius: "What the hell is it then? What? You fell in love? Bahahaha"
Vorgen: ".............."
Lorderius: "Wait you serious?"
Vorgen: "............."
Lorderius: *Whistles* "Who's the lucky woman? "
Vorgen: "I ain't telling you shit"
Lorderius: "Mordred"
Vorgen: *Flinch*
With wide eyes Lorderius stood up and pointed at Vorgen
Lorderius: "I KNEW IT!! YOU LIKE HER!! YOU LIKE MORDRED!!"
Vorgen: "SSHHHHHH!!!! SHH SHH SHHHHH!!! Shut it you Bald idiot!! Are you going to tell everyone in the barracks about it!?"
Pulling his hair aback if he had any, he couldn't believe that Vorgen the Lunatic knight. Someone who had not shown any interest in women, someone who he had thought as Gay, admitted that he had his eyes on a woman.
Lorderius: "So when are you going to confess?"
Vorgen: "I won't"
Lorderius: "What...? Why?"
Vorgen: "She's better off with someone other than me. I'm ugly, pitiful, stupid, incompetent,
a Degenerate and you know it. She doesn't even like me that much."
Lorderius: "Oh Come on. Have some confidence in yourself."
Vorgen: "Nope. Whatever you say i am not telling her so you do the same-"
Lorderius: " What Are you chickening out for? Just-"
Vorgen: "....OR i swear I'll rip your tongue out!! am i clear?"
He said as he gave Lorderius a death stare.
Lorderius: "Crystal....." *Whispers* "not so crystal..."
Vorgen: "Now go make me some breakfast!!"
Lorderius: "Hey you're a better cook than i am!! You cook!!"
Meanwhile Altos just sat down on log
Near them, the giant of a man just sat there Observing the two.
Altos: "..................."
______________________________________________________________________________
Holden's office
*Knock* *Knock*
Holden: "Come in"
Mordred: "You asked for me Holden?"
Holden: "Yes sorry for calling you this early. I have something for you to take care of"
Passing the paper to the female knight, she took it in her hand and observed the picture on the paper.
The picture was a man in his 40s with a vertical scar on his right lip.
Mordred: "This is....."
Holden: "It's a wanted poster of a former Blackstone, Leo Lorgan. Charged for treason and desertion. We finally found The slippery bastard. He was last seen in a town east from here. I need you to investigate and bring him in."
Mordred: "Am i going alone in this?"
Holden: "No, you'll be with-"
(In The distance)
"YOU COOK!!"
"NO YOU COOK!!"
"COOK!! YOU LUNATIC!!"
"YOU COOK!! BALDIE!!"
Mordred: "Vorgen...."
Holden: "Correct.....Take him with you. He's good at this kind of thing"
Mordred: "Alright then"
______________________________________________________________________________
Lorderius: "For the last time, I'm not doing it!! You do it!!"
Vorgen: "Listen here punk. I haven't slept at all last night, at least let me enjoy a morning meal made by someone this time"
Lorderius: "Oh come on!! If it was Mordred, you'd be cooking something for her instantly."
Vorgen: "Tha-"
Lorderius: "Oh hey Mordred!!"
Vorgen: "You ain't tricking me, dumbass"
Mordred: "Who's tricking who?"
Vorgen: *Eyes widened* "Fuck..."
Lorderius: "Heh.... Have you had breakfast this morning, Mordred?"
Mordred: "Just bread and porridge"
Lorderius: "That means you still hungry right?
Mordred: " I guess....."
Lorderius: " OH LORD!! You hear that Vorgen!?"
Vorgen: "..............."
Lorderius: "Oh poor poor Mordred. She's hungry!! Starving!! Just look at her!! She barely have any meat on her!! "
Mordred: "Are you mocking me?"
Paying no mind to what Mordred said lorderius kept preaching on.
Lorderius: "Bread and porridge? Thats just preposterous!! We surely can't have that right!?"
Vorgen: "................."
Lorderius: *Whisper* Just make us breakfast or I'll tell Mordred about that thing!!"
Vorgen: "............."
30 minutes Later
Vorgen: "Eat up! Bastard!!"
Lorderius: "Yeah!! Steak!! My favorite!!"
Altos: "................"
Vorgen: "I made your portion too, Altos. You already ate breakfast so i put it on a plate here for you to eat later, just reheat it with fire when it gets cold"
Altos: *Thumbs up*
Mordred: "Thanks"
Lorderius: "Hey! Why is her steak bigger than mine?"
Vorgen: "Because fuck you that's why"
Mordred: " Where did you get all these meat?"
Vorgen: "I bought it from a hunter. Paid him with the money i got from the Viking leader's head i killed in Harrow gate"
Mordred: "A hunter? I never saw one around these parts. How did you find them? "
Vorgen: " Well i didn't find them, they found me"
Mordred: "Found you?"
Vorgen: "I was taking a crap in some bushes next to river when i was about to go back from fishing and then BAM!! An arrow flew, missing my head. Phew.... Never shat so hard in my life."
Mordred: "................"
Lorderius: "................"
Altos: "..........................."
An awkward silence filled the camp. Only the sound of the fire pit could be heard around enhancing the awkward atmosphere.
Vorgen: " I guess they smelled my shit and though there was an animal nearby............Aaaaanyway Is the steak alright? They gave me some good extra meat as apology "
Lorderius: "So you're saying that you did your business outside the barracks?"
Vorgen: "Yes"
Lorderius: "Next to the river?"
Vorgen: "Yes"
Lorderius: "By the bushes?"
Vorgen: "Yes"
Lorderius: *Inhales*............ *exhales*
YOU GODDAMN LUNATIC!! We have our own Toilet here in the barracks!!"
And you chose to shit outside!? Next to the river at that!!
Vorgen: "Hey i love to enjoy the scenery while i shit. It feels totally different than shitting in a cramped room"
Lorderius: "You....oh you little... So that why there were shits with leaves sticking on them.....there's no way an animal feces would be covered with leaves.........It was You who used them to wipe your ass...... it was your SHIT that i stepped on that time!!!"
Vorgen: ".........Aight....imma head out"
He said as he sprinted as fast as he could
Lorderius: "Did you know how long i had to wash my boots because of you!? Sometimes the smell is still there!! You Crazy bastard!!"
Timeskip, Ashfeld, Afternoon
Vorgen POV
Vorgen: "Hehehe got another dent on my helmet. Thank god i wore it just before he hit my face"
Mordred: "Serves you right"
Sitting side by side on a Wagon,
Me and Mordred were on the way to the town of Lunaris. Another bloody errand from Holden... Well at least I'll get paid for this.
Vorgen: "Yep...anyway what're we supposed to do again?"
Mordred: "We're searching for someone and bring them in"
Vorgen: "You got a picture of them?"
Modred: "Here, Leo Lorgan. Former blackstone, charged for treason and desertion"
She said as she's holding a picture of the Man we're supposed to find.
Leaning down to see the picture clearer. I caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance from her.
Vorgen: "Hmmm....."
She....smells great.......
Mordred: "Galahad!!"
Vorgen: "Ye-Yeah?"
Her shout broke me out of my thoughts, I almost jumped out off my seat from her shout.
Woah shit!! What the hell was that Vorgen?! That was creepy as hell.
Mordred: "What's with you? Keep spacing out and all"
Vorgen: "Yeah...sorry"
Wagon driver: "We're here folks"
Town of Lunaris a small town but with high population. Perfect place for someone to blend right in. It's going to take us more than luck to find the guy.
But I'm wearing my lucky underwear this time so we'll do fine. I think....
Getting off the wagon and Paying the driver, we then went to the gate. Greeted by two guards.
(Aint my art, can't find the name of the artist so i couldn't mention them)
Guard: "Halt!"
Guard2: "State your business"
Vorgen: "Let me do talking Pendragon."
Mordred: "Okay"
Vorgen: *Clears throat* We're from the Blackstone legion, we're here to find a fugitive. Blackstones business that's all i can tell you"
The two looked at one another for a moment then they turned at us again
Guardsman2: "We're going to need more than that, let me see some proofs"
Vorgen: *Sigh* "Will this do? "
I said as i showed them the blackstone symbol on my right gauntlet.
Guardsman: "OH! You're the real deal. Though you were a Bandit at first"
Noticing my urge to hit the guardsman straight on the face, Mordred started patting my back.
Mordred: "Easy......"
Vorgen: *Inhales*......*exhales*
*clench fists*
Mordred: "Now now. Let it go"
Strangely it worked. It's comforting me. She got magic hands.
Guard2: "Open the Gate!!"
Guardsman: "You're good to go"
Mordred: "Come on let's go"
Vorgen: "Yes...."
Entering the gates we were greeted by a huge crowd of people. Children, adults, and the elderly with all kind of faces doing their jobs and activities.
Vorgen: "I hate crowds.... I hate people"
Modred: "This is going to be tough"
Vorgen: "I suggest we start by splitting up, Asking people around"
Mordred: "Are you sure you're not going to just wander off and buy some drinks on the way"
Vorgen: "You lack faith in me"
Modred: "If there's one thing i lack, it's that"
Vorgen: ".........tsk....."
Mordred: "Fine I'll trust you. So don't break it. We'll split up, ask people around, then we'll meet somewhere"
Vorgen: "We'll meet at the central garden then. You won't miss it, in case you get lost just ask someone for directions....... You know what let's not split, You're new around here. You need someone with you"
Modred: "I can take care of myself"
Vorgen: "Really....? Are you sure?"
Modred: "Yeah yeah just go already"
Vorgen: "Shit, woman. Fine!"
Had decided that we should split up. I then headed to the nearest tavern.
Hehehehe I'm not breaking the rule if there's no one to see me breaking it.
*Clatter* *Clatter* *Step* *Step*
*BRAK*
I kicked open the door of the tavern. Entering it, the crowd of people stopped whatever they were doing and started staring at me.
Vorgen: "Whatchu all Looking at?"
After a brief moment of silence, they ignored what just happened. The Tavern went back to their usual noisy status.
Walking to a table, i sat down and a woman wearing white shirt, rolled sleeve, and an apron approached me.
Barmaid: "Welcome, what would you have sir?"
Vorgen: "I'll have a bottle of Wi-"
"I trust you. So don't break it"
Vorgen: ".............."
Barmaid: "Sir?"
Vorgen: "...... Milk..."
Barmaid: "Pardon?"
Vorgen: " A Cup of milk thats all. You have that right?"
Barmaid: "Of course just a moment, sir"
The barmaid then left, leaving me just sitting alone. I may look pitiful right now in the Middle of this crowd. But i feel fine, it's fun being alone in a crowd, just observing these people.
When i was deep in my thoughts, i heard of a conversation on the table behind me, a group of teenagers.
???: *Whispers*"Hey did you hear that? That knight ordered a milk"
???: "Seriously!?" *snickers*
???: "Milk drinker" *Snickers*
Vorgen: "I HEARD THAT!!"
???: "............"
???: "............"
???: "............"
Standing up from my chair, i stared at them. The lot of them just looked down, avoiding my gaze.
Vorgen: "Fucking midgets.......... You can Mock me when you're taller than the pole your mothers dance on. You're the one who's supposed to drink milk yet you're mocking me. Tsk....Piece of shits "
Sighing i sat down, The barmaid then came back with a cup of milk in hand.
Barmaid: "Here you go. A cup of milk"
Vorgen: "Thank you"
Barmaid: "Is there anything else sir"
Vorgen: "Do you know someone named Leo Lorgan around here"
Barmaid: "No never heard of him"
Vorgen: "A guy with a scar on his lower lip, brown short hair, looked like fourty. Does that ring a bell"
Barmaid: "Hmm forgive me but i don't seem to know who you're talking about. Many people come and go around here."
Vorgen: "Oh... Okay then"
???: "Oi Matilda, another ale here please"
Matilda: "Coming right up!"
"Now if you'll excuse me"
I knew it this is going to be hard. I'm going to have to rely on luck alone..
The barmaid then left to take care of the other costumers. I took the cup of milk in my hand and looked at it.
Vorgen: "Why the hell did i order this? Have i gone mad?......ugh.... whatever"
Removing my helmet, revealing my covered face, i then pulled the bandage a bit to make a small room for my mouth to drink the milk.
Vorgen: *Sips* ".........."*Sips* "......"
*Eyes widened* "This is Good Shit!!"

Mordred POV
Mordred: "Have you seen this man?"
I said as i showed him a picture of Leo Lorgan.
???: "No sorry"
And that makes it the 40th time..... Damn it.. Just where is this guy!
Modred: *Sighs*
I hope Vorgen did his job properly. I just can't trust him in this............. No i shouldn't keep doubting him.
I was broken out of my thoughts when suddenly i felt something holding my hand.
???: "Momma?"
Mordred: "What the...."
______________________________________________________________________________
Vorgen POV
Vorgen: *BURP* "Whew that milk really hit the spot"
Resting on the central garden, i sat on a bench, rubbing my belly whilst enjoying the view.
The garden was well... full of flowers. Roses, violet, sun flowers, you name it, this garden almost have it all. The sun was warm and the breeze is gentle......
Damn it really is beautiful today..... If only it weren't filled with a ton of stupid normies.
This time of day in the garden is the time when couples all around the town, come and mingle. Just look at what this idiot couple doing in front of me.
Ron: "Look Lisa This Flower resembles you"
Lisa: "Why is that Ron?"
Ron : "It smells sweet, colourful and beautiful just like you"
Lisa: "Oh you~"
Vorgen: *Clench fists*
Ay man...Vorgen..... Remember... control bro... Breathe man....breathe!
Ron: "You know what Lisa if you were a flower, i would pick you"
Lisa: "Awwww you're so Sweet"
Oooooh i want to kill them both.. So fucking much. God Please lend me the will to endure this bullshit.
Vorgen: *Whispers* "Normal Fags"
The Girl that i assume was Lisa took a glance at me and whispered to his Man.
Lisa: "Is he staring at us?"
Ron: "Hey, can we have some privacy here?"
Vorgen: "Privacy..? You're asking for...... privacy? You idiots were the one who invaded my privacy!!I was here first!! If you want some privacy then go get a fucking room!!"
Ron: "This guy is crazy, let's just go darling"
Lisa: "Yes, Ron"
The two idiots then left... Finally at least i didn't have to watch that shit show right in front of my face.
Vorgen : *Grumble*
See people? It's true what They say about a good mood. Its like a balloon. All it takes is one prick to ruin it. Bunch of pricks in this case.
Feeling bored and tired i started to count the people around the garden.
Let's see what we got here.... 1 stupid couple ......... 2 stupid couple,................ 3 stupid couple............ 4 stupid couple, 1 old guy with a creepy smile................ 1 drunk guy,.....1 guy with an ugly face
1 Mordred with a kid,......1 old lady.......
