Farclere

Farclare welcomes all travelers well. Each group was given a small bottle of the famous Farclare wine. Emune refused close to the wine. He felt deceived by the wine. Fiona even has no hatchet and is very excited to find a good drinking house.

"Balachian. The wine merchant in Galvey said the place was good,” Emune chirped

"Oh yeah? Let's go there, Greg,” get Fiona excited.

"Emune has to come." Greg Kapok leaves Emune.

"of course. Don't let me kidnap people. Yeah, I know." Emune grimacing.

Greg laughed. Emune's words were very true. "Haha. Let's go to Willians' cottage first. We're staying there tonight."

Balach is just like what Emune saw. There are wooden sculptures in the shape of animals then the row of tables and benches are exactly the same. Emune looked back and forth and went around looking for Urndie. He's sad, there's no Urndie in Balach.

Just a fantasy, he thought. Emune then joins Fiona and Greg. He was a little surprised to see the two had not yet drunk liquor.

"No good drinks?" ask Emune.

"No taste." Fiona kicked the table slowly. There was no drink, but nothing good, he thought.

"Eat it, Emune. We'll be back to Willians." Greg ate a bean that was bulky.

Emune ate with gourmand. Fiona and Greg are talking about the next route.

"We are soon to reach Imperia. Better up there. Arsyna's dangerous." Greg was busy calculating their time and abilities.

"I want to get to Eimersun quickly. Do you want to live in Eimersun? Hahaha, just ask. You'll want to get back to Galvey quickly." Fiona didn't just ask. He's curious.

"Not really. The first time in five years I traveled east. Fascinating." Greg went to Imperia more often than Eimersun.

"really? I thought you'd miss Rhea." Fiona lures Greg by talking about Rhea.

"Women in Eimersun are sweet Greg said." Emune interrupted. He moved his eyebrows a sign of being ignorant.

Fiona glares at Emune then Greg then at Emune again. Fiona stood up and got out of Balach quickly. He did not believe it could be this angry because he heard Emune's talk.

"Little troll," sizzled Greg as he pinched Emune's cheek. He's going after Fiona.

Fiona's not far ahead. Greg ran faster. He pulled Fiona to the side of the road. The upset Fiona doesn't care about Greg trying to persuade her.

Men are the same, Fiona thought. Why am I thinking about Greg? Of course he had a lot of women, he had traveled everywhere. Who am I to get angry at him?

Greg's out of his mind. He precedes Fiona and carries her to the side of the road, into a small alley that is not so dark. Fiona screamed and thrashed in annoyance at being lifted up like a pile of dry hay by Greg.

"Hey, don't be angry! Don't listen to that little troll" Greg said.

"I'm not angry. What's the anger for?" Fiona punches Greg in the chest in annoyance.

Greg held Fiona's body against the wall with his own body. Fiona is still trying to get away from Greg. Greg pulled Fiona's waist and said in a earnest tone. "I've never liked a girl like I like you."

Fiona fell silent. Greg then touched his lips to Fiona's. Greg could feel Fiona's body approaching and Fiona kissed back. They kept kissing for a while.

Fiona's about to explode out of happiness. Greg chose him, not Rhea. "I'm jealous of Rhea. You think that's weird?"

"Not strange. I'm jealous of all the men who saw you at the drinking house and on the street. You think that's weird?" Greg stroked Fiona's face.

Fiona smile. "Not strange but ridiculous" he said. Fiona looked embarrassed.

"Am I interrupting?" Emune appeared suddenly. Greg and Fiona froze, shocked that Emune saw the two of them kissing. "I told you, a little jealousy is good. Wow, Greg and Fiona are kissing!" exclaimed Emune then laughed amusedly.

Greg and Fiona are furious about Emune's prank. "Little troll!" they both come together. Late, Emune had already fled towards Willians.

***

Elric and his friends arrive at Farclere and are resting in a drinking house. The drinking house was filled with men with various social classes. Merchants, common travelers, warriors, knights and nobles. Their seats were already separated so as not to cause a commotion.

Aiden raised his beer glass. He drank too much and began to fumble. "Farclere ... Farclere .... The best wine is only in Farclere!" he patted the table.

"It's best to bring it before he riots here" Alfred told Sean.

Sean caught Aiden's arm. "It's time to go to sleep, man," he said, dragging Aiden out of the largest drinking house in Farclere.

"It's still losing to beer. So we're gonna keep it here? Want to take a walk outside?" alfred asked Elric, who was sipping his wine.

"Come on. This place is no longer interesting." Elric stepped into the door. A long-robed person with a headscarf attached burst in and pushed Elric. "Hey!" Elric exclaimed in annoyance but was not cared for by that person.

"Just travelers, don't mind" Alfred said.

Elric came out of the drinking house. Not midnight yet and the cool breeze refreshes it. He walked wherever his feet would.

In a somewhat dark and desolate part of the city, he saw a woman running. Behind him was a man who was chasing while exclaiming in annoyance. The louder the man's cry, the louder the woman ran.

"Emunne?" Elric was dreaming. Is that just my wishful thinking of missing Emune so much? No, it was indeed Emune and he was in danger!

Elric started running. He did not heed Alfred's screams. His eyes were fixed on Emune who was coming from the opposite direction.

"Emun!" shouted Elric. It seemed like Emune was too busy running to the point of not listening to her screams. So close enough, Elrik catches Emune. Emune was surprised to not recognize the person who suddenly caught him. "Emune, it's me."

Emune couldn't possibly forget that voice. "Elric's? How did you get here?" asked Emune on the sidelines of his hunting breath.

"Let's explain. Who's the guy chasing you?" Elric unsheathed his sword, preparing to face the villain who would hurt Emune. That guy's getting closer.

"No! She ...." Emune held her head because of the sudden dizziness.

Greg stopped his run. He saw Emune being bullied by a young man. The young man was dressed like a knight yet he did not care. How dare the young man brandish a sword at him. "Take the girl off!" shouted Greg.

"Who are you? Why are you chasing him?" Elric.

Greg pulled out his sword. He won't let anyone hurt Emune.

"Stop. It's a misunderstanding." Emune pulls Elric's arm.

Emune tries to mediate but the two men are ready to fight. Sure enough, Elric pushed Emune backwards. Alfred caught Emune who was about to fall. Elric and Greg fight because each believes his opponent wants to hurt Emune.

Fiona came panting. Emune may look weak but he's running fast. He could barely catch up to Emune and Greg.

"Wow!" fiona exclaims stunned to see Greg is fighting with a young man and Emune is being held hostage by a man. "Hey, let go of the girl!"

Fiona knew that she was holding a dagger in both hands. He threw both of them towards the man's chest and neck. The man very quickly drew his sword and repelled the two daggers. Fiona advanced while grasping another dagger.

Emune panic. He had to stop all this before he fell victim. They were too busy fighting and did not listen to his screams. There is no other way, he thought. Emune is breathing.

"Horeen, come, come" said Emune slowly but firmly.
