Chapter 3: A Stormy Event and Thieves
"GYAAAAAAA!!!"
Suddenly a shout heard and 'something' fly out from inside the alley,
"Sh****!!!" the carriage driver shouting, he pulled the reins, the horses is struggling to stop "NEIGGHH!!" the horse neighing, and continue to slide forward.
BAM
The horses and the 'thing' collide with each other, knocking out the horses, all the manure from the manure cathcher behind the horses also knocked up and falling in near the horses, and the 'thing' also didn't make any movement.
"Hor!, why are we stopping? we are being chased, hurry up or we both will be killed by those hired scum assassins" a young man voice heard from inside the carriage.
"I..i..i..i'm sorry..young master, there seems to be something flying from inside the alley, a..and..and.." the man stuttered.
"And what!?" with irritated voice the man said,
"And hitting our horses, the horses is passed out young master" the man said in one breath, for fear making his master more irritated.
"Dammit! this must be their doing, those bastard!. F*** it! I'll just run to the middle wall, I must reach those guards." the man said while getting out of the carriage
"Hor, you continue here and slow them down" after he said that the young man run full speed, just as he was passing the knock-out horses, suddenly there is shadow getting up and the young man's leg tripped by 'it'
THUD
ROLLS
PUFF
the young man rolled few times and stopped when his face planted into a little mound.
"F***! who tripped me? I'll kill your entire family! dammit.. hm?" the young man lifted his head and shout, after that he noticed something is wrong in his mouth "What the..? puh.. puh.. this is? this is, SH**! who the f*** put sh** pile here!? dammit, hm? they are catching up, run!" the man spat, getting up, and continue to run. He didn't care anymore if he tasted sh** after falling, what he care more is his life so he ran through the empty street attempting to get away from his pursuer.
Few moments later there are few peoples moving fast above the alley towards the direction that young man took.
Meanwhile, the one that trip the young man, Deamos is currently sprawling on the streets "Ugh.. that man really thrown me in front of the carriage.. my head, my stomach" Deamos said while covering his temple with his hand, "Oi.. Uncle, give me my money. Ugh" he said while groaning.
"Hahahaha! I didn't expect that would happen" the scarf man walking out from the dark corner of the alley and thrown a sack of money to Deamos "Here kid, 100 gold coins, you earn it. With your 'special' interruption there we certainly catch him, say do you.." before he could finish, Deamos cut his words "Stop, I didn't want to hear the rest, so much money only for halting carriage for a while is already suspicious enough, if you continue I'll get more involved. The deal is done here. I'll taking my leave then" Deamos stand up, taking the money sack and walks away leaving the scarf man standing.
Watching Deamos walking away the man thought "Clever kid, hehe. But no matter, we already captured the son of that noble, we at least have some time to make him suffer before we his father that noble Buta's family head come to random his son", after that the scarf man figure turn hazy and disperse like he wasn't even there in the first place, inside the alley there is blood trails flowing on the alley pavements.

––––––––––
After walking for some time, Deamos find a riverbank. He go down and washing his face, body, and wash his clothes, after that he gathers some dry twigs to make some fire to dry his clothes after finding an abandoned hut beside the tree on the riverbank.
He looked at his reflection in the puddle of water near the hut after taking of his dirty robe, at the reflection he saw a thin body of a boy, long black hair, an elf-like ears, and yellow pupils.
"His face seems to be decent enough, it's fortunate that this boy is somewhat good looking, atypical elf feature" he said while touching his childish face here and there.
"Although he is half-breed of elf and Beastmen" Deamos mumbled while touching his elf-like ears but shorther by half of pure elf and he have some beast-like hair on the tip of his ears, and paying attention to his yellow pupils that is one of the characteristics of a beast race.
"Sighs, nevermind. Now that I have some food to eat although it's not as palatable, at least I'm alive and breathing" he said while taking out two loaf of long black bread from his old bag, he buy the bread from common bread shop in the Slum district, although the owner seeing him with suspicious eyes and disgusted face when he take 2 silver coins to pay for the bread and clean water. After he go buy common dagger for 5 silver coins.
"At least they didn't say anything, it's lucky that scarf uncle put some silver coins in the pouch, if I have taken the gold coins I doubt they even let me leave."
"Tomorrow I need to go buy a decent clothes and find a way to pass the Middle wall checkpoint, now that I have eaten I need to rest. My head and stomach still quite hurt from that errand" as Deamos said that he take a cloth from the old bag an using it to cover his thin body.
.....
...
"Are you sure? are we going to do this?" a hushed high- pitched voice came from a boulder a few meters from the hut.
"Of course, I saw the dirty blood kid taking many silver coins from that pouch of his this afternoon. After we are done with him, we will not have to think about food again for few months, hehe" the other rugged voice replied.
"He is just a bum from the slums, you don't have to think much of it, let's go" the rugged voice continue.
Although they move slowly Deamos still hear their walking sound, they just amateurs so it's not surprising he hears them. Added with he still didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the wild, making him easily woken up by slightest sound.
'Fudge, it's just some silver coins. Well, it's understandable cause some people even kill for food if they are starving, sighs' Deamos thought and sighed helplessly.
"Sh*t! what the.. Ouch.. argh"
"Ow.. ow.. ow.. my foot.. argh.. my hand.."
There are two peoples voice cursing and complaining from the bushes as their feet steeping on little wooden spike barefooted.
"Hehe, you guys think I'm ignorant kid? Eat those spikes, hehe" Deamos chuckled.
The groaning sounds still come from those bushes. Deamos have put some wooden spikes behind those bushes and around his camp sites, and the darkness of the night also covers those wooden spikes. When he merging with little 'Deamos' he aquire his clever minds and because little'Deamos' is forced to grow up it's not surprising that kid his age having some tricks for survival till now, one of those is making simple traps.
"Time for some cleanup" Deamos getting up and grabbing his cheap dagger, and crawling out from inside the tent. He circled the bushes slowly to get behind one of the thieves.
Deamos leap at the rugged voice man from behind to push him down and stab his dagger to the man throat multiple times until the man not moving anymore,
"Hi.. hiii.. d.. don't.. don't kill me!" the man with high-pitched voice screaming.
"Your voice is annoying, die!" Deamos jumped and stab the man in the throat.
"Huff.. huff.. just two barefooted slum rats already make me this tired, ugh, so sloppy" he said as he see his body and clothes drenched in blood of the two thieves.
"Should have pay attention to those battle training in my last life"
Deamos washing the blood stains from his body at the river and get back to take some rest until the next morning.
