Demon lord story part 9

Mahr would nod as Ally would look at the food; I will gather some wood for the fire so we can make food for everyone.”
Dragsen would nod and smile; “I will skin the bunnies and the stag, then I will pick the pheasants so we can cook them.”
Valec would walk to Mahr and goes sit next to her as he extended the chair to a two person cough.
Mahr nods as does Ally, then Ally gets up and goes looking for dying oak trees and cut them in small blocks with her bare hands  as if they were going through butter instead of a hard oak tree.
Dragsen would sit down and concentrate as begins to form a small table out of black granite and a combat knife with a side to tear flesh and a other to cut with.
He begins with putting the stag  on the table so he can begin with that one as that is the most work in one go.
Valec and would sit proudly as Mahr would slowly hang against him and close her eyes while she pulls her legs up on top of the cough too.
First Dragsen would cut the stag open by the belly and pulls its organs out on the side of the table, then he would pull the skin up and cuts the upper layer off with the precision of a surgeon.
So what would be left of the stag is the skeleton with all its muscles still on its place.
Dragsen would make a cooking kettle and a roasting-jack so they could make stew and roast the meat.
He would cut the limbs off the stag and smiles as he puts part for part on the roasting-jack.
Meanwhile Ally would walk back with a wooden cart made out of a big dead oak tree, it would carry a really big pile of wooden blocks.
Valec would look amused at how Dragsen was busy with the stag and is repeating the same with the bunnies.
Ally would be back by the time Dragsen was skinning the second bunny and smiles as she sees the kettle and the roasting-jack, then she would build two big campfires with half of the wooden blocks.
Mahr would be half asleep and doesn’t notice most of what is happening around her.
When Ally and Dragsen were done Valec would snap with his finger and the campfires would both catch on fire, then the roasting-jack would turn slowly.
Ally would cut the vegetables and cuts a summoning circle softly into the kettle so it would slowly fill up water until the kettle would be half full.
Then she would pick up the vegetables and throws it in the kettle as she smiles and hears Valec snap his fingers again so the water would softly be stirred.
Dragsen would look at the food then smiles and turns to Valec; “Shall I make a table of granite to eat from?”
Valec would look at him; “If it is not too much of a burden for you to do.”
Dragsen would close his eyes and slowly a giant table for 20 people to sit on would come up from the ground.
Valec would look at it and smile as he slowly let Mahr sit up right so he can stand up straight.
Mahr would sit up and open her eyes as she sniffs the air; “the smells is quite good.”
Valec nods and goes look at the table kneels a bit and looks over the table as Dragsen just lays down as he feels a bit drained.
“This table looks like it is made by a professional craftsman.”
Dragsen would smile a bit and nods; “Thank you Sir.”
Valec snaps with his fingers spawning 5 piles of demon bones that he then begins to form to comfortable chairs that perfectly fit with the table and smiles as if it nothing.
Dragsen would look surprised up at him; “how did you do that as if it was nothing at all?”
Valec snickers; “well it was nothing for me.”
Dragsen, Ally and Reamaru’s jaws fall open and even Mahr looks slightly surprised.
Valec would smile; “Well this is quite the development, haha.”
Mahr would smile soon after Valec and stands up to walk over to him and hug him from behind letting her hands rest at his middle.
Valec would close his eyes a little and smiles as he feels her touch.
Mahr leans towards his ear and whispers; “Good to see you still enjoy my touch.”
Valec turns his head towards Mahr and kisses her cheek then whispers; “Always.”

Darius would walk into a town surrounded in long big plains of green grass and colorful flowers.
When he enters the town, he sees it is fully blooming and peaceful.
He would walk father into the town, he would reach the market and see people hopping from one booth to the other, buying everything from fish and meat to unnecessary gadgets.
He would go to a stall that sells clothes and looks at the merchandise then he sees some red, linen shirt, not decorated at all.
He goes and feel the fabric then looks up at the woman that sells it; “how much for this shirt?”
The woman smiles and takes in the rags of clothes that Darius is wearing at the moment and asks with a unpleasant tone; “Do you got money to buy clothes like this?”
Darius looks a bit offended by her but takes out big bag of bronze coins that Valec and he gathered in the time they traveled; “I will ask again, how much for the shirt?”
The woman looks with big eyes at the bag; “2 silver or 200 bronze coins, Sir.”
Darius puts away his bag and pulls out a smaller bag and lays 2 silver coins on the shirt; “Keep this shirt in the back and I will come back later for it when I found some more clothes to buy.”
The woman nods and smiles; “I hope you will find what you want, good sir.”
He smiles; “I’m sure I will.”
Darius would walk off to go and look at some more clothes as the lady would grab the money and put it away, then she grabs the shirt and neatly folds it and lays it in the back of her little booth.
Darius is walking to a few booths then sees a store in the corner of his eyes and he smiles seeing the nice black leather trench coat; “that one is going to be mine.”
He walks to the store and looks at the name “Deep Mystery” and he would smiles; “Funny name, hehe.”
When he enters he hears a bell ring and looks up to see there is a bell hanging from it then he would walk father into the store, seeing the many shirts, pants and coats but none of them would lessen his thirst for the trench coat.
He would walk to the coat and sees it the only one in its kind and smiles as he now can see how rough the material is on the outside but how soft and smooth it is on the inside.
He would be sunken into a trance and didn’t notice that a young girl around his age would come up behind him; “Can I help you, sir?”
Darius would jump in shock and turns around fast, when he looks at her he would see the girl.
She has bright, blond hair that reaches the small of her back, green, emerald like eyes, soft curves in her face making it pleasant to look at her face.
Her body looks like it has been waist trained for many years, but has little on the chest.
Darius looks at her and smiles a bit; “Well, yes you can, how much for that coat?”
She would look at him and smiles kindly; “For you I would say 10 silver, Sir.”
Darius grabs his smaller bag; “And how much would it be for someone else?”
She snickers; “I think that would be around the 50 silver, Sir.”
Darius takes out a hand full off coins and lays one golden coin down; “Keep the rest.”
The girl looks with big eyes at it; “How in the world did someone like you get a coin like that?”
Darius snickers; “Working hard and saving money for really long time.”
The girl nods and sighs; “But I can’t accept this money sir, it is far too much.”
Darius would look at her and shake his head; “I do not think so.”
The girl looks at him the softly nods as she can see that she can’t change his mind on the subject.
She takes the gold piece and grabs the coat that Darius wanted.
She would take them to the counter at the back of the store and begins to fold the coat as she already put away the coin.
Darius would have followed her and looks at her folding the coat; “No need for that, I am going to wear that coat soon enough.”
She looks at him and smiles a bit; “Are you sure? It can be a bit uncomfortable to carry around like that.”
Darius would think for a little bit; “Is it an option to leave the coat here for a little while?”
She would nod; “Yes it is, but I can’t keep it lying here for more than two hours, Sir.”
Darius would look confused at her; “Why not longer than two hours?”
She looks at him; “Because then I am off.”
He nods and smiles; “Maybe I would come just before you are off, haha.”
The girl would blush as he said that; “Are you serious?”
He would look at her and smiles a bit; “Maybe, I don’t know for sure yet.”
She looks at him a bit confused; “Do you need to get that much then?”
Darius looks at her and then nods a bit; “uhm well that lays on if I am going to stay here or move on to the next town.”
She would look at him then nods; “Well you know where to find me for the coming two hours.”
Darius would nod and smiles quite a bit; “Yeah I know.”
She smiles at him sweetly as he would turn around and walk to the door; “I will be going on with my shopping now.”
She would look after him until he is gone then she would go sit in a chair behind the counter.
Darius would walk around the market again and finds a black jeans and black boots to finish off the look.
It took him a hour and 45 minutes to get it all and then he would go back to the store where he had bought the coat.
When he arrives the girl would jump up and lay the coat ready for him and smiles at him.
He sees her lay the coat ready and smiles back, then he would approach her; “Maybe I am a bit early, hehe.”
She smiles more; “Well maybe there is more than the coat you came back for.”
He would laugh; “Well maybe there is and maybe there isn’t, only time will tell.”
She looks a bit upset; “Well can’t I know now?”
He smiles and kisses her cheek real fast; “Does this answer your question?”
In a matter of seconds her head would be really red from blushing and she smiles shyly; “Uhm, uhh I guess it does.”
He would smile and stretch; “How long before you are off of work?”
She looks up at the ceiling as she thinks; “Well it should be in 10 minutes but that depends on how fast shift change is done, because I do the morning and midday and my replacement does the evenings.”
Darius would look puzzled at her; “But why do you have to work two shifts after one another while your replacement does only one shift?”
She looks at him and thinks; “Well the problem is that my replacement is the owner and my mother, so I got little choice.”
He would nod understanding her predicament and smiles slightly; “I see the pinch you are in, but what would you like to do?”
The girl smiles with a soft chuckle and looks up at the ceiling as if she can see the sky; “I would like to explore this world, I want action and adventure in my life.”
Darius would nod and smiles slightly; “I like your peaceful and quite life, a life of action and adventure needs some peace once in a while, so it won’t become too much of a burden.”
She would look at him; “Well I guess you are right there, you got the experience.”
Darius smiles then notices that he never told her his name; “Btw my name is Darius, would you care to tell me your name, Miss?”
She would smile at his grace of asking; “Well nice to meet you Darius, I am Vanth.”
Darius would smile more; “It is nice to meet you too Vanth, interesting name you got there.”
She smiles; “Well thank you, I got it from my dad before he vanished.”
Darius looks surprised; “Vanished? How can someone just vanish, especially from such a beauty as you.”
Vanth would blushes a bit and looks sad; “All I know about it is what my mother told me, he vanished when I was very young, so I got little memories of him.”
Darius nods and thinks; “I am sorry that had to happen to you.”
Vanth would smile again, hiding the pain and dismissed the gesture; “It is fine, I don’t know any better than that he was never around.”
Darius would nod and smile a bit; “I too have little idea of my parents, but I would say that things turned for the better now I am here and met such a lovely lady as you.”
Vanth would blush again then softly smile at him; “Uhm well thank you, Darius.”
Darius would blush a bit and looks unsure as he never really talked that much himself.
Vanth would softly kiss his cheek then looks past him; “I think you are in luck as my mother early this time.”
Darius turns around and sees quite an old lady enter the shop and would sweetly smile at him then she would look at her daughter; “Did you sell anything to the gentleman here?”
She would nod and smiles considerably less at her mother; “He bought our best coat, mother.”
Her mother would look with big eyes at Darius; “Did he pay the full price?”
Vanth would smile and nod; “Yes, he paid even more than that ma’am.
Vanth’s mother would hurry up to the small vault where all the money that is earned gets stored and she would see a golden coin in the vault then she would look up at Darius; “Are you serious? This big amount just came from that guy, in the rags?”
Darius looks offended to the woman and nods; “Yes, this guy in the rags has more money than you can earn in the rest of your life.”
Vanth’s mother would jump back as she sees the offended look in Darius eyes; “I am sorry if I offended you, Sir, but you have to forgive me presuming that you are poor if I would look at your clothes.”
Darius sighs and softens his look a bit; “I know, that is why I am shopping here.”
Vanth’s mother nods and would smile a bit; “I understand, Sir, is there anything else we could provide you with?”
Darius would look at Vanth then at her mother; “I would like to take your daughter with me into the world and show her the wonders of it, like she wishes herself.”
Vanth’s mother would look shocked then she would look at Vanth; “Do you want to go with him, Vanth?
Vanth would quickly nod and smile; “Yes, mother, I would like nothing more than that.”
Vanth’s mother would look doubtingly at them; “I don’t know if I should let her go with a stranger, but I can’t force her to stay here either.”
Darius would smile at Vanth then look back at her mother; “I won’t harm her in any way and I would protect her to the best of my abilities.”
Vanth’s mother wouldn’t look even the tiniest bit more relieved when Darius said that; “Well that is nice and all, but I want to be sure she is safe and not have the word that she would be from a stranger.”
