A lone figure on a horse entered, he was thin and carried a black sack in one hand, the other holding the horse’s reins. He was careful not to make a noise, his mission could be jeopardised.
Glancing around to make sure no one was following him, he made his way to a small cottage on the eastern side of the town.
Peeking into the sack to make sure the contents were still there, he urged the horse to go faster. At last he reached the cottage, it was a simple one, yet hard to get in. There were no gardens like the other cottages, no weeds or grass around the house. Most of it was earth.
The figure walked up to the house, reached inside the sack, and pulled out a vial of green liquid. He splashed it onto the door. At first, nothing seemed to happen, then the door slowly faded, revealing a dimly lit room.
The figure entered, and the door sealed itself again. The room became dark once again, with the only light coming from the fireplace. A bed on one side of the room appeared.
“I have come,” he said.
A man from the bed roused, he rubbed his eyes sleepily.
“I see you managed to acquire green dragon’s blood, very good indeed, the items, Jav?” He asked.
The figure, Jav, threw the sack at the man. He caught it with ease, and examined the inside thoroughly.
“Hm, not bad, not bad, quite impressive…oh! What’s this?”
The man pulled out a helmet, it had a blue diamond attached to the top of it, with a dragon carved into it.
“That, Serpin, is the Helmet of the Seventh, maybe you would know it as Vrokan’s helmet?”
“Vrokan’s helmet!” Serpin said, mouth agape. “How in the name of the great dragon king Fugon did you get it?”
“That, Serpin, will be my secret,” Jav said.
Serpin glared the Jav, “Tell me.”
Jav didn’t respond, Serpin threw out his hand. Immediately, Jav felt a force around his throat, it got tighter.
“I stole it from King Arnold’s bedroom,” he gasped.
Jav felt the force go away, he regretted disobeying Serpin. He knew of his ruthlessness.
“Well, you are better than they say…” Serpin said.
“Who said anything about me?” Jav asked.
“The rumours,” replied Serpin. “However I can see that half of the rumours are quite untrue.”
Serpin walked towards one side of the room. Facing the wall, he bit his finger and smeared his blood on it. A crack started to appear, forming a door. It slid aside to reveal a room filled with treasures and gold. Serpin threw the sack inside and it landed without a sound.
“Sound Barrier, isn’t it?” Jav asked.
“Yes, quite obvious actually,” Serpin said, resealing the door.
“What are we going to do now?” Jav asked. “Surely we cannot stay here any longer?”
“No, we can’t. I will teleport us to a safe location, preferably somewhere far away from the kingdom, in the Dark Lands, where we will be protected. The house will still stay here of course. Moving it away will surely raise suspicions. Of course, the secret room will come with us, it has to.”
“We leave now?” Jav asked.
“Yes we are, have you got a hole in your brain?”
“What about the horse, I want to keep it,” Jav said.
“I can move anything within the fence, no worries.”
“Now then, one, two and…”
Serpin, Jav and the horse vanished in a cloud of smoke, and all that was left behind were black spots.
