Aero and Matt #4- A Knight’s Bar

“You got a lot of nerve coming in here!” Someone shouts.

Matthew turns around looking for the body attached to the voice. The room grew quiet when the shout came, everyone is looking at Ser Matthew.

“I said, you got a lot of nerve stepping foot in my bar!” It’s Ser Oliver, the Captain of the Guard of the Fraternal Order of Anointed Knights.

“Why is that? I am an anointed knight, same as you. This is the knight I anointed in Meego, Ser Ali. We are here to drink.” Matthew replies.

“You don’t belong. You’re not a true knight and neither is your desert friend, get out now.” Ser Oliver says.

Matthew and Ali before Crimson

“What’s this? A fresh snack? Good, I am very hungry.” A deep and intimidating voice says from inside the depths of the cave.

Both men stop, they allow a few seconds of fear to overtake them. Aero didn’t tell them the terror that grips their bones from his voice alone. Ali immediately starts thinking about running, Matthew starts trying to figure out if he can outrun Ali.

Heavy breathing can be heard from the direction of the voice, then footsteps that sound more like small earthquakes echo off the cave walls.

“He… He told us you would say something like that.” Matthew stammers out.
