Goran walked away and Akar seemed to wake up, released the hilt of his sword and said:
"Sorry."
He put two silver thalers on the table, took the book, and went out. People looked at each other because they didn’t know what had happened. Kalin ran over and asked:
"Goran, are you okay?"
"I am fine, what's wrong with that lunatic?"
“How did you make him so angry? It looked like he wanted to kill you. ”
"I don't know what's wrong with him?" I just offered him a drink! ”
"Bogdan, what do you think of this?"
"I'm going outside for air."
Before anyone said anything he came out. > He looked calm when Goran asked him for a drink, even as he approached him. The atmosphere shifted from joy to fear for life in front of the invincible monster. We didn't even have time to react, before he reacted like that. Why so sudden? What caused it? It started in the middle of Goran's sentence. Is it because of that? He spoke only of the custom of drinking to begin a friendship. I don't know how you can get so mad at that. Fuck! I don't have enough information!< Bogdan thought as he looked for him in the village and scratched his head again. He heard the creak of the village front door, he knew what this meant. He immediately started running towards them and shouted:
"STOP CRAZY!"
He came to the door and saw Akara holding a torch and Mrkan with two burning lamps. He started to open the door. He looked at him.
"You're really crazy, you lunatic. Where do you think you go out at night?"
"I am going to sleep."
Bogdan couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute. You go out to sleep where everything wants to kill you, not in here. If this is because of what happened at the inn, you don't need to worry-"
"No, it's not. I'm just more comfortable there."
Bogdan could only laugh out loud.
"From now on, I'll call you Crazy. As special a case as you are, I as the Head Hunter can't let you do that. Let's go to my place, my wife cooked me dinner. It will be for everyone, even for Mrkan."
"I have to say no, no-"
Bogdan hugged him by the neck. Akar was a little scared of this. She looked at him, then at Mrkan. He looked like he was expecting something.
"You have no choice with me, so let's go."
He pulled it away and they set off. Akar complained, but Bogdan did not listen to him. They could hear singing from the inn. Bogdann wondered a little how much alcohol Luka had in the inn that almost the whole village got drunk.
"Bogdan, all of you are drunk, I will take care of the village. Just leave me alone. ” Akar said.
"And you don't have to worry about that. Kalin’s and Obrvkov's is turn, and they don't drink. When Goran came to you, we drank with them for good luck tonight. And don’t worry they drank a very diluted beer, which they shared. It's all settled, so stop pulling. "
"Kalin didn't look your best when you buried them."
"I already asked him and he wouldn't let me replace him and as you know it I didn't see you then."
"I just sketched."
"I've been interested in this since I first saw you. Where are you crazy from? Did you come from behind God's mountain chain? ”
"Out of nowhere."
"And where is that?" Bogdan said, more annoyed.
"Nowhere."
> We'll never go anywhere like this. It won't open. Well we just met there is time. <
"I've never seen anyone fight like that, where did you learn?"
"In experience."
>I'm asking the wrong question again!<
"Thank you so much."
"Nothing."
They kept walking, passed the inn and came to the house. They stopped and Bogdan said:
"Wait here just a second."
He entered the house and Mary saw him at once.
"You're back!" Is everything all right, as I hear they are still celebrating there. ”
"What would be wrong for me to come back earlier to see my wife."
She put her hands on her waist and looked at him with that gaze that speaks, don’t shit. They both laughed and she said:
“Okay then, you came at the perfect time. Dinner is just over. ”
"Speaking of which, I have a small favor to ask you."
She turned around and had a kind of proud look on her face.
"I knew it. Spit out what you need? ”
"Have you heard of the man who came to the village?"
"Yes, Mirela and Cvita told me a little about him. It really scared them. It's not just them, the whole village is afraid of him, they talk like he's a monster. He doesn’t talk to anyone and walks around with his wolf. No one saw him- "
She was silent for a while and Bogdan felt a hard blow from his forehead. The huge wooden spoon hit the floor and before he could say anything she approached him and whispered to him:
"Don't tell me he's in front of the door."
"Yes, but I think it was unnecessary to hit me with a spoon." Bogdan whispered.
"Why is he here?" She whispered as she bent down for the spoon.
"He went outside to sleep because he was nowhere to be found and I couldn't let him. Today we brought a tree just because of him. I think at least he deserves to sleep under the roof. ”
"And you had to bring him here, you have no idea who he is. Why didn't you ask the chief to find him accommodation?
“Let’s just say he wasn’t able to answer the question. Please let him sleep here for a few days and I will do whatever you want. ”
She smiled softly with a big smile and answered somehow quickly:
"Okay I will let him stay."
"Thank you full-"
"But when all this is over, he doesn't go out with the boys for a month."
He looked at her in astonishment as she grinned. "She tricked me." He blew out and said,
"We will have it your way."
She cheered nicely and said:
"We'll have a great time and tell him to come in. The man must already be cold. ”
She went humming to set the table. > She turned the situation in her favor again. My clever tyrant.
"You can come in."
He scratched Mrkan and said quietly:
"It doesn't cause problems."
“No”
He left Mrkan outside and they went inside.
"Good ev-" Maria said with her back turned and when she turned she paused for a moment.
She swallowed and said,
"Evening! Here, sit down, dinner will be soon. ”
"Good evening to you too and you don't have to bother, I'm not hungry.
"Nonsense, just you sitting I just have to bring a pot."
They sat down and Bogdan looked a little strange. >Why doesn't he at least take off his helmet?< Akar noticed that she was looking at him and said:
"You two are really similar."
"What do you mean?"
"You don’t give any choices."
Just when he said that she came with a pot and sim gave a spoonful of wheat and barley porridge and sat down.
“I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Marija." She said and held out her hand.
Akar shook her hand and introduced himself.
"Well, now we have introduced ourselves and feel free to feel comfortable. Feel free to take off your armor. ”
"I'm sorry, but I can't. Faith does not allow me. ”
"I'm sorry I didn't know, most people here believe in the Fire of Purity, so I just concluded."
"Don't worry, they keep asking me that, so I'm in the habit."
>At least that explains it, but I've never heard of such a faith, but I think it's rude to start questioning about it like I just did.<
"I have never heard of that faith, you will not be from here. Did you come across God's mountain range or from the south behind Lake Marikal or from the north of the Krux Empire or- ”Mary did not finish because Bogdan kicked her lightly under the table.
"Ah sorry Mr. Akar, I may be asking a little too much for the first time."
Akar just waved his hand to show that everything was fine. And they started eating. Bogdan secretly watched Akar eating with his helmet closed. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see a shred of skin. What a strange way of life. I certainly couldn't do that because I really hate helmets. Bogdan liked the food as always, Marija knows what he likes. After they finished Marija picked up everything from the table and asked:
"I hope my husband didn't cause you any problems. He can sometimes be grumpy when he feels insecure or when he is afraid. That's why sometimes he is quite clumsy ”
> MARIJA! You don't have to tell him that.<
"You don’t need to worry, maybe he was a little grumpy at first, but later he calmed down. You calmed him down well. ”
Mary laughed harder and said:
"Honey, I like this one!"
Bogdan couldn't help but grin a little.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny, I'll take him to the attic until you clean up here. ”
She agreed and the two of them climbed the stairs and came to his room where Dalibor slept and which Marija had tidied up and climbed the rickety ladder to the attic. >It's going to be awkward waking up tomorrow.< The room wasn't big, a little dusty, and it had a small bed in the corner.
"I know it's not the best-" Bogdan didn't finish.
"More than enough, thank you."
"You don't need to thank me. Just rest your crazy. ”
They said goodbye and Bogdan went to Maria. She had just finished tidying up and extinguishing the candlesticks.
"Is there anything you need to help?"
"I am not done. To tell you the truth, I was scared of him at first, but later I even liked him. ”
"I'm glad you liked it, because I like it too."
Bogdan told her about what had happened outside the village as they prepared for bed. She was surprised and shocked. They lay down and she hugged him and told him to be careful like every night before bed. He scratched and his throat was dry, but he was not thirsty. He closed his eyes and imagined everything he would do with that Crazy tomorrow. He sank slowly into sleep until he fell asleep.
“BOGDAN! BOGDAN! WAKE UP! He didn't know who was yelling.
The wind was blowing, it was icy and his ass was scratched by the grass. "Who wakes me up and why is it so icy all of a sudden?" He opened his eyes and was in the woods? He honestly didn't know where he was. He saw Akara shaking to wake up. His left leg and right arm went numb.
"What the hell is going on here?"
He said as he started to get up, but the same second he fell to the floor and screamed in pain. He felt as if the bones in his left leg and right arm were melting.
"I see you're awake, drink this." Akar said as he opened the bottle of green liquid. Bogdan grumbled and wanted to vomit but Akar forcibly closed his mouth. It tasted more bitter than wormwood, it had dry and slimy lumps that stuck to his teeth, and it tasted like someone had diarrhea above his mouth and even later peed inside. > What does this give me? Is he crazy, will he kill me with this? This is torture, please let me get this out of my mouth
"I'm sorry I know it's a horror, but it's a cure, so you have to swallow it."
He had no choice so he swallowed. As soon as Akar heard the swallow, he let go of his mouth and Bogdan vomited next to him and by himself for the same second. Akar quickly gave him a leather bag of water and told him to wash off the flavor and that he would soon be able to walk again. He rinsed the taste out of his mouth as fast and better as he could and he somehow managed to sit. He looked around and had no idea where he was, he had never seen this place.> Why am I here alone with Akar? Where are the others? Wasn't Kalin right? Do not?! PLEASE GODS! I DON’T WANT TO DIE HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ANGELS! How could I know he was a SMILING FREAK!
"What are you doing? Calm down and let the medicine work in peace! ”
“RUN FROM ME! Don't you dare approach you, Smiling Freak! ”
Akar couldn't believe what he was hearing, so he just laughed out loud. The whole forest could hear him dying of laughter.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT!"
“How can I not beat one! It doesn't serve your head that only your hair grows on it, think a little! How can I be a Smiling Freak if I can't even see my face, let alone a smile! ”
"There are at least a hundred leaflets with his face in every city where the award for his head is written. He would have to hide his face to walk around. ”
"It makes good sense, but if I'm him, don't you think he'd be dead already."
"Maybe you like to play with your prey?"
"For FUCK sake, you can't be outwitted, huh?" Whatever I tell you, you're going to come up with some nonsense to get back on track. ”
"Well, let's just say you're not, so why are we here alone in the middle of nowhere?"
"Because you're as stubborn as a donkey and you can't be caught. WHAT ARE YOU WITHDRAWING AGAIN! LET ME FINISH! And that I thought I chased you for two hours would be the biggest problem. Let's calm down and tell me, have you ever heard of lycanthropy? ”
"Yes I am. I think it's turning a man into a werewolf because of a curse turned into a werewolf or wolf bite, and you can be enchanted by some evil witch. "
"You guessed one thing, and the other is the people's fabrications. In fact, the ghosts of wolves randomly create someone's body and thus create a curse. There were cases when the kings also-”
“I don't care well! What does that have to do with our situation here now? ”
“Think about it. If you could fuck me for ten minutes like that, it shouldn't be hard to conclude. "
"Don't fuck around- Wait, wait n-n-n-n-nem-m-my tell me d-"
"And the blind hen finally hit the corn."
"How? How? HOW!?"
"I just started talking, and you're not listening to me, it's happening randomly. You just weren't lucky. "
“VELES ENCHANTED ME! PERUNE SAVE ME! ”
“Calm down, there is a way to get rid of that curse! It just has to- ”
Bogdan didn't listen to him anymore and thought.> If I'm that monster, doesn't that mean I killed Stjepan and Mirko. I killed them. I. None other than me. A monster.< He looked at his hands, they were shaking, they weren't standing. He was not scratched anymore and his throat was not dry.> WHY IS IT NOT DRY !? DIDN'T I HAVE SOMEONE AGAIN-
"WHAT ABOUT MARIJA AND DALIBOR?"
Akar fell silent and stared at the floor.
“TELL ME! SPEAK!
"I came too late, and you had already-"
Tears streamed down Bogdan's eyes and he stood up, his leg and arm still aching the same as before. He walked to Akar who was in great amazement at how he could walk at all. He grabbed him by the neck, thinking he could feel the fur. He didn't care. Akar told him what he was doing, and he pulled a knife from Akar's chest. It was an unusual knife, with teeth like arrows on one side, but that didn't matter. With these things he did, which he wasn’t actually guilty of at all he couldn’t live with them. Akar tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen. > Maria. Dalibore. I'm coming. I hope one day he can forgive me.< He stabbed him as deep as he could in the neck and pulled.
"Forgive me, everyone."
