"Come West, I'll know the Goddess of War, I feel a duty because I have God involved in this senseless war. "
" Yes .. sure, and maybe even take tea together. "
" is not helpful to be funny, not in front of her. "
The city streets were crowded and narrow, the market stalls occupied most of the roads. The fair was known throughout the kingdom, was said to be possible to find everything you needed or not: exotic foods, precious materials, jewelry. There were even traders selling mobile in the streets you could find the sellers of candied fruit, vegetables and fruit, dried fruit.
The inns and taverns were full of great vigor and worked in the brothels and women extolled the joys and pleasures of sex to attract customers.
The market for capital was also famous for its long duration, took place once every three months, one for each season, but for seven days and seven nights never closes.
The nights were devoted to feasts and the artists, the minstrels play their tunes, clowns entertained the children while the parents could see some play outside, jugglers and funambolieri they were noticed by the audience with their games.
In the middle of the band of people intent on looking younger and buy the prince and his new faithful bodyguard tried to make his way to get to the religious district.
"We had to come today? Was it not better to wait? "Protested West trying not to lose sight of his companion.
"Even if we come tomorrow or in three days would not change anything, better get up the tooth now. "Katon said gently pushing people.
finally arrived at their destination, the temple of Roriath was right in front of them.
Katona within first, made sure with a quick glance that was not present and no one is announced.
West looked skeptical, crossed his arms and raised an eyelid, yet no ghostly goddess had appeared; Katona announced himself again and called Roriath to make his appearance, the captain of the guard began to puff.
'Katona go away, is no point wasting time here. "
" Wasting time? Wait!? Did you really say that!? If I were not a help Katona I'd already stuck with my spear. "The Goddess of War
materialized behind West, staring furiously, while the poor guard had heart sank, there was nobody behind him, he was perfectly safe, as did the woman to approach him without being heard? It was not possible. The observed carefully, it was the same figure of the great statue behind the altar, it was really a god? Katona who was right from the beginning?
"You ... you are ... a goddess? She asked hesitantly, making small compared to the majesty of the divine person.
"No, I'm your mother. "He replied sarcastically Roriath," Of course I'm a Goddess! For whom do you take me for a woman at all? "
" Roriath Met West in Denio, captain of the guards of the royal castle, my bodyguard and my closest friend. Met West
Roriath, Goddess of War 'Katona intervened making the presentations.
"is favored outgoing King "pointed out Roriath approaching the altar of the temple.
"Really? Not one had ever told me. "
" Oh no? Be 'now you know. "
the goddess sat on the marble block, crossing his legs and leaning on his elbows.
"Corinne has made an offer, a proposed alliance. "Said the prince told the child and to detail the meeting with the murderer and their exchange of words.
West, listening casually, it was still thrilled by what had just happened, a deity had appeared in his eyes! To him, that he did not believe in anything that his eyes could not see him, that he had faith in gods.
It had all happened too fast, must necessarily have a dream, a hallucination, Katona was not really talking about a goddess.
Although he had given up pinching pinching did not change that reality, one of his many philosophies of life reads: "Unless I see, I do not think." But West had seen, had not, therefore, more reason not to believe the words of his friend.
It gave the stupid and the infamous, all the time - a year? - Had given Katona crazy because of its history, recently had even thought it was all a ruse to meet with her lover but ...
And to think that his sister Esta had believed the prince immediately. He promised to repay his friend as soon as they had the chance.
"I think it is a trap, but we will accept the opportunity to kill him. Methods that are repugnant to me, but as I said to West, is the only solution I found. "
Roriath nodded satisfied, perhaps it had not made a big mistake in choosing as his herald.
The temperature was beginning to increase, a sign that spring was just around the corner. Do not snowed for a couple of more weeks and the white coat had disappeared almost completely, only in the early morning and evening, the cold came back to reign supreme.
West was strangely silent, said Katona, was not he sit good good silent, tried to attack button, but the guard did not seem to listen, at the end Katona decided to go forward to the castle without speaking. At the courtyard
dismounted from his horse and the groom confided the two beasts, the prince was already heading towards the great West door when it froze.
'West, what is it? "
" Draw your sword and fight. "Said the young captain seriously.
"You're kidding I hope, you know I'm not good at fighting. "
" Exactly, you know you are defending. "
'West, but ... "
'Katona Noc Feraci to Irrfad, drew your sword and fight me. 'Tone West did not allow the voice of replicas.
speechless Katona did as she was told, drew his weapon and pointed it toward the West, poised to attack.
"Right now? Here? "
" Yes, here here and train the new students will train you. "The prince
cadet of his prepared attack. Did not have time to parry a couple of hits and was immediately disarmed, West looked shocked, he did not believe that the prince was so low.
"We'll have to work hard ... 'West almost sighed resignedly.
