36th of Spring AV
``Ah!, Nyka... The Celestial Seat, look at it brothers it is truly as beautiful as we heard. We shall make a fortune from these monks and their worship, they pray, we sell, they pay, Hahahaha!...
It is quite amazing that we've traversed through the dangers of this world to, ah from the deserts of Eyktol to this beautiful, glorious city of Nyka!`` those were the unending, grating, enraging words of the shrouded Benshira, in the echo of the night were the echoing hooves of the horses they rode as, trailing behind them were another band of Benshira also on their steeds.
Senghor Vilhjalmr was being paid to watch over them, to guard them like a animal through the city of the celestials, and be the blade if anything was to happen to them, yet the leader of the merchants was a insistent nomad whose mouth never kept shut!
The night wasn't a dangerous one that day, it was quite calm as he held a lone horse by the reins and walked beside it and led the foreign merchants along the path to a inn, shrouded as they were whenever he turned his head and looked at the others, he saw quite defined women onto the horse even as they kept their eyes the only bits of themselves revealed.
He was quite enticed into leaving his job and seducing the women for himself yet he felt, and saw a certain sophistication in their gazes hence he shrugged off the idea and let his thoughts wonder, drift away like a river left to its own current.
``You!, you're quite healthy, you look like a child of Eyktol with your features, were you ever there!?.
Are you married!?, Ah, what a fine specimen you'd be for my daughter, your loins must have healthy offspring, you must... You will mar...`` Senghor drowned away the man's words and never even listened to him, he was consumed by himself at that moment, he raised his head and gazed at the sign ahead, a inn!
"We're here, finally..." was all he said as he patted the horse and heard it neigh in please, he looked down at the reins in his right hand and back at the horse.
'Like I know to do with this...' he said to himself as he dropped the leather strap and raised his left hand to pat the animal again, he was drawn back slightly as it put its head in his palm momentarily before he drew it back.
"You, Benshira... Pay me" were the words of Senghor as he inclined his head towards the merchant who was getting off his steed, a pouch glided through the air and landed in the open palm of the desert skinned man, weighed it down for a second and heard his payment speak to him.
'It'll suffice...' he said to himself as he looked at the unpacking Benshira before turning away from them, he'd done his duty and felt he wasn't needed anymore.
Looking up at the night sky and sighing, he began walking away from his contract and began to disappear in the pathways of Nyka, as he walked away from the desert nomads something came to him.
'Wait... What was that blundering merchant talking about!?' he asked himself, a bit too late...
