Description
"How will we find the mercenary, anyway? We know nothing of him beyond his name..." Sienna asked as she walked alongside the Princess. The two of them had eaten their breakfast and departed from the inn, heading towards the waterfront, where the shopping district was. The whole area was awash with people of all sizes, shapes and colours, and even one or two of the more fantastic denizens of the world could be seen.
"We'll ask around as we shop. A few extra punts on a bill will make information all that much easier to remember." Rouge said, in an almost singsong voice. She seemed a lot happier than she had been when they arrived. I hope that it was what I said that cheered her up. Sienna thought as they browsed a fruit stall, checking the rather lacklustre selection.
"You are certainly more worldly than your title would imply...uh...Rouge." Sienna said, not really sure what else she should say to the woman.
"I am no fool. But it worries me how little I know of the world outside the kingdom..." She said, picking up an overripe apple, and grimacing. "Uugh, these fruit are terrible..."
"You don't like it, missy, you can shove off. Buy something or go away." The rather gruff proprietor of the shop snapped, and the princess baulked. She went to cuss the man down, but halted when Sienna placed a hand on her shoulder, and shook her head.
"Sorry to have bothered you." Sienna said, softly, moving her charge on to another shop. "Forgive me, Rouge, but we cannot go causing a scene. If we get identified, you would be at great risk. For now, We just need to..." She began, but was cut short when a doorway nearby burst open right in their path, and a dark shape fell through it. The figure twisted as it flew through the air, and skidded to a halt on the cobbles.
"Ouch...I appreciate that you're probably pissed at me for some reason but can you at least tell me WHY? Jeez, you random revengers get on my nerves!" The figure said, drawing itself up. The man, for the figure was male, stood just over six and a half feet tall, with a mess of thing, dark skin and black hair that hung just down to his shoulders. On his head, just, was a cream coloured ten gallon hat that kept the hair in check, and he wore a cream coloured waistcoat, which was unbuttoned, revealing his bare chest and arms, which showed more than a few scars, and a similar coloured pair of trousers, complete with a rather ornate belt buckle which bore three symbols, a curved rectangle, a straight rectangle with a cross in it, and a crescent. The trousers hung over his metal boots, which seemed to have padding on the base, that prevented the boots from making a sound against the stones. On his back was the largest crossbow either woman had ever seen outside of siege weaponry, and he held two more smaller crossbows hanging from his belt, both of which had an outlandish black box stacked upon where the arrow would be.
"GAMBOGE! YOU KILLED MY FATHER!!" A voice screamed from inside the building, and a huge bulk of a man emerged, with two spikey brass knuckles on his balled fists.
"And I appreciate that that is a big thing to you, but seriously, you have NO idea how little that narrows it down for me. SHIT!" The man said, leaping upwards as the hulk lunged forwards, his fist sailing by and smashing into a huge barrel that stood behind him, shattering the strong wood with ease.
"I'll Kill you!" The man screamed, ripping his fist back from the wood, causing shrapnel to scatter everywhere.
"Doubtful." Gamboge replied, hopping up from where he had landed, climbing onto the roof of the building. He drew one of his powers, and fired at the man, hitting him in the knee, which made the huge man scream with rage and pain. "Now come on. You're not gonna beat me down there. Just give u..." he began, but had to duck as the huge man had started to throw huge chunks of wood at the dark skinned man.
"His name is Gamboge..." Rouge said, turning to Sienna, who had disappeared. Turning around in a panic, she saw the armoured woman pacing towards the large man, a broom in her hand that she had picked up from a nearby shop. As she watched, the polearm user swung forwards, and managed to knock the huge warrior off his feet.
"GET DOWN HERE AND RUN!" She cried out to Gamboge, who took no time in clambering back down to the ground. He began to run off, and Sienna followed him, grabbing Rouge by the arm as she did so, dragging the princess along for the mad dash, as the angry man pulled himself back up to his feet.
