[i]Night before the skip[/i]

[Color=goldenrod]“Good riddance, you murderous siren!”[/color] Eros’ exclaim was followed by a hearty chuckle as he tightly gripped the large heavy sack of amas as black market traders carried away the unconscious Cyrene. 

[color=tan]“Didn’t I tell you to keep quiet? It’s bad enough that you just willy-nilly fuckin’ carried an unconscious woman through Roshmi,”[/color] the well-dressed dark elf trader voiced in a hushed tone. Rather than appearing as the stereotypical rogue on the Roshmi docks, Dresnik ensured he looked like any legitimate businessman in Roshmi. He sported fine dark-colored silken clothes and was always accompanied by two or three muscleheads for protection. 

[color=goldenrod]“Siren. Murderer. Drowner… That’s what I carried through Roshmi. What [i]woman[/i] fetches this much amas? Hmm?”[/color] 

[i]Following morning[/i]

After his successful trade and some bickering with the black market trader, Eros felt ‘the richest Avalian on this side of the river should secure himself and his funds at an inn. Paying a full night’s price for a few hours was the least of his worries since it was a light expense and beat the chance of running into trouble on the road. Amusingly, Eros was the least worried about fighting anyone or anything on his way back to his humble tent. It was the measly sack he was concerned with due to its patchwork appearance and its size. No doubt he’d mistakenly use it as a weapon in the heat of the moment and lose it all. 

When morning came around, Eros fetched him and Beebee some much-needed breakfast, the latter enjoying a dab of honey squirt onto the side of Eros’ plate. It was while eating that Eros heard the announcement made by King Zanithel. Curiosity drew Eros outside to watch in no time at all!

[color=6161B6]“...creatures also possess destructive magic over the elements of water, fire, earth, air, and lightning! They harness these elements with unnatural ease and will possess power that would even…[/color]

[color=goldenrod]“Dangerous… Formidable…”[/color] Eros murmured.

[color=6161B6]“...we as a kingdom shall snuff them and their rebellious conspirators out! They may harness dangerous magic power but I show you now that they can be slain! We may not be facing an army but consider us to be at war… there will be bounty posters for these humans and these terrorists offering a great sum of amas! Offers of freedom…”[/color]

[color=goldenrod]“COUNT ME IN!”[/color] Eros roared up to the visage of King Zanithel as if it would answer back. [color=goldenrod]“One amas, two amas, three amas, four? Doesn’t matter because Eros wants more! Right, Beebee? I may not like the King or his way of things but if we make enough amas off his desires… Yes! We will do this! Let’s find the humans! Let’s find these tourists helping them!”[/color] 

[i]Current Morning[/i]

[color=goldenrod]“Beebee, do you know why we chose Riverport?”[/color] Eros asked his tiny companion who let loose one of his signature chirps. [color=goldenrod]“Wrong. Hm, and I thought you’d become more clever.”[/color] Eros shook his head while awkwardly talking to the puny pink frogfly. The two were leisurely passing through the Riverport town square. [color=goldenrod]“It’s not because it is close to Roshmi. I’m not so simple. The reason we find ourselves here is because… because… Hmm… It’s not something I can state in public. We’re not the only ones looking for the humans… But we will be the ones to find them!”[/color] Eros grinned as he made his way to the Riverport bank.

Eros really had no idea what he was doing or what leads to follow. He had simply chosen to travel to Riverport only because he did not want to endure the presence of so many elves in Illuminata or Myriamor as he figured no one with a bounty would dare set foot into the home of the Bounty Hunter Guild. The monkey man was doomed. Wealthy, yes, but doomed. However, little did Eros know, he was fortunately much closer to his aims than he knew at the moment.
