/'''\ Chapter three /'''\
A/N I just organized this book- also my hecking neck hurts, probably not when I post this, but when I'm writing this. pfff that was weeks ago and im not even done
They walked through two Villages on the way to Rulo, Phil and Techno had to hide Wilbur whenever that happened. Him being the prince and all. And after the first village, and gaing stares, Techno put on the paper crown covering his pink stained hair and ears.
They finally made it to the gate. There was a path from the last village that guided them, it was really convenient.
Anyways, the gate was grand, a dark oak color of wood framing it, with dead and alive vines crawling over it, but the wood was well kept ruining the rustic vibes given off.
Wilbur motioned the call off signal they discussed before entering the first village. Phil and Techno stopped hiding him, lowering their arms, that's legitimately all they did, and it worked. He put back on his hat, having taken it off prior.
He stepped forward actually looking proper for once, Phil almost started laughing and poked at Techno to show him how ridiculous he looked. Techno almost started laughing at his friend too.
The two guards in front of the gate looked at Wilbur approaching, and immediately shifted their bodies to look more presentable, they saw Phil and still looked more nervous. Then they saw Techno, and realised it was really nothing.
Luckily for Techno, he took off his crown to wipe off some sweat from walking with the crown for so long, right after the guards looked at him. They saw the pink, and became rightfully confused.
Wilbur cleared his throat in front of the guards who were still looking at Techno, they shifted focus to Wilbur again, looking slightly worried, and Wilbur said;
"My friends and I are on a journey to Rulo, please let us though. "
"Of course Prince Wilbur." One guard said without hesitation.
The other guard then took out the piece of wood stopping the gate from opening. The two both took their respective doors and opened it.
Techno put the crown back on, and him and Phil gained composure again to start walking to Wilbur who was already over the border of the two nations.
Once the door closed and the Rulo guards on the other side were out of sight Techno and Phil started laughing.
Wilbur looked slightly annoyed at the two, mainly trying to stop himself from laughing too.
"I thought I did rather well."
This comment just ensued more laughing, Wilbur couldn't help but join them.
"They looked scared at first too," Techno said as they finished their laughing. His smile disappearing and his tone getting deeper "We need to hurry up. " There the joy goes.
"Yeah, the village should be pretty close." Phil said talking about the faint sounds heard in front of them. And the path.
The three started up again. Walking at a decent pace Techno would sometimes try and make faster. He was trying to remember the situation he is in as much as possible.
They soon arrived at the village the path lead to, Wilbur took off his hat as a precaution. And soon after, them walking more and more towards the capital, someone ran up to them.
He was somewhat shorter than the three, with messily styled black hair and tanned skin. He was clearly exasperated, jagged breath leaving his mouth.
Wilbur hit Techno with his arm signaling that he needed to help.
"Pl-ease, help!" The man stuttered.
"What happened?" Techno asked without hesitation.
"My friends, they, need help," he took a long pause putting his hands on his legs to support himself
"One of the important guards, they think my friends and I stole something, I-I managed to get away. No one would believe that he's wrong, but, your friends are wearing Denapen colors."
"Where are your friends?"
Instead of talking he points to a path off of the town.
Techno nods. "You three should stay here, for, intimidation purposes." He tried to make it not sound like both the head guard and prince of their neighboring kingdom wouldn't help scare him off straight away.
Techno headed to the path, the deeper he went in the more it looked darker, small cliffs appearing on his left as well as taller trees on his right.
He heard voices through the 'pat pat' sounds from his feet, their was a ramp type of thing made in the the small cliff leading to an old looking meeting place, he then realized something.
He stood above the ramp, shadows being cast over his head making his ears and pink tink unnoticeable as well as darkening his clothes and face. He spoke just in his normal voice, its threatening enough.
"Step away, from the innocent, people."
He drew the sentence out for an even more menacing effect. He made out three figures on the platform made for gatherings, two were against the back of it, another in front of them he looked to be stepping away, not like he was extremely close in the first place.
"Who are you to question their guilt?" The guard said turned around from the two others completely they started slowly backing farther and farther away.
"Well, I am the most feared in my land," the guard rolled his eyes basically saying, 'what random place is he going to name.' "you may of heard of it, Denapen."
The guard then stopped, to Techno's luck, he didn't expect it to be that. He started to look scared, he, of course, had heard about Techno via reports through the kingdom.
Techno just smiled, this was more fun then expected. "Now I don't think I should question anything." He said starting to walk closer and closer to the guard. His dramatic footsteps as he stepped on the stone ramp only ensued fear, it being the only thing heard.
"Do you agree?" He said now in front of the guard.
The guard didn't say anything scared out of his mind.
Techno took out his sword and pushed the point into the end of the guards metal covered foot, it passed through the metal but it purposefully didn't hurt him.
"Do you agree?" He repeated, more menacing then the last.
The guard nodded, Techno took out the sword from his foot and the guard ran off.
Techno then put his sword back and sighed, using his newly free hand to wipe off sweat. Breaking the illusion completely.
It was just him and the wrongly accused people left.
One of the spoke to the other, not very quietly, "Ohmygoodness what just happened."
"Your friend told me what happened, so I helped." Techno told the two
"Thank you!" The same person that talked before said, greatful.
"You're welcome." Techno said starting to walk away.
The two followed Techno out of the meeting place.
After spotting his friends he waved, they waved back, and it looked like the guy that ran up to them wasn't as tired anymore.
Techno stopped beside his friends. "So how was it?" Phil questioned
"Pretty easy, all it took was some intimidation."
The two others appeared from the path, and the black haired guy ran over to his friends. His friends both seemed to have brown hair and glasses.
"Wow, that is pretty easy." Phil commented
"You know you just made their entire day?" Wilbur said a little confused on how he shook it off so fast
"Uh- " Techno didn't really care, but it felt a little unreal.
The trio walked over to the three, the black haired followed by the burnettes
"Thank you for helping, even if you're from Denapen, do you want to talk more? Really just, how can we repay you?" The black haired man said, basically just spewing out anything coming to mind
"You don't have to anything fancy, just talking would be fine." Techno said, he knew that Phil and Wilbur were getting pampered enough and he didn't need that.
"Well I'm Skeppy. This is Bad," he said pointing to his right, Bad waved "and this is a6d." He pointed to his left. "And just for clarification, they aren't our real names."
Techno smiled a bit, and thought 'they're like me' "I'm Techno, this is Phil, and this is Wilbur. " he pointed to the two respectively. "And if you're curious, you can ask anyone in Denapen who we are and they'll know."
"Is that a good thing?"
"Not for me as your friends know."
"Wha-" Skeppy was cut off by a6d
"He said he was the most powerful person in Denapen. It scared the guard a lot."
"How are you two calm about this!"
"We've had time,"
"But we're becoming friends with them-" Skeppy cut himself off, "Wait, if you consider that bad, then what are you two? Royalty?!"
"I'm the prince, he's the head guard." Wilbur said to mess with him.
"I- what- ah- how-?" Skeppy was clearly suffering
"What the fuck-" a6d said for a response
"Language." Bad swiftly responded with.
"Wait, why are you even here?" a6d asked, making the other two confused as well, well really only Bad as Skeppy was confused enough already.
"Well," Techno didn't know if he could say anything to them, but how have they not seen by now? "I have a curse," he decided to tell. He then pointed to his hair.
The trio all looked at his hair trying to find something wrong, and immediately saw the pink tint and ears.
You could tell they saw by the shock presented on their face.
"Yeah, we needed to travel to each neighboring kingdom or something like that." Techno slipped in a lie, well, he just didn't say important information.
"Well, we can take you to the border of Rulo." Bad offers them
"That would nice." Wilbur says
"Well let's go, so Skeppy can process everything!"
Wilbur chuckled "Yeah."
They started up again, this time with six people. Luckily, the end of the village is the Yokbein border, sadly they need to walk farther to get to the gate.
1700+ words wtf how, also eventually I'll make all new characters, well characters the plot will add medieval aspects as a separate chapter so new viewers don't get spoiled
Edit: I'm inconsistently writing the next chapter so it'll take a bit to get out. But dang will it be packed
