《Saer Servitude》Chapter 7
Advertisement
"Where are my coins?" Saer grinded his teeth.
Girls did not speak.
Their words had dried out due to the Saer's menace.
"No need, Saer." Fierlo said by picking up a sack.
He shook it to hear coins rattle inside. Saer did not wait to hear anything from there.
He decapitated both of them in a single blow. The fat customer crept out of the bed on pool of blood to see half split bodies.
"How dare you kill my mistresses?" the angry man walked towards Saer.
But Saer did not mind being annoyed by a stranger. The old man walked out of the room in anger.
Saer watched his coins inside the bag.
"I wonder how much these girls spent." Saer tied the bag.
When Saer moved his eyes to the door, then he saw guards with their swords drawn. Behind them was the same old man who yelled, "See, two murderers have sneaked in this city."
To their misfortune, Saer hadn’t put his sword back in sheath either.
"I don’t want more deaths." Saer said.
"Then you shouldn’t have caused it in the first place." A guard came forward with his sword held high.
Saer stabbed him. The blade went through him like butter. But another guard was running at him while his sword was stuck in the corpse. Pulling the great-sword from the body, he slashed in at another guard – whose fate was no different.
Guards divided and the half of them charged at Fierlo, hoping they would spill his guts out.
"I am no different from him." Fierlo said after chopping a guard's head with ease, "All I lack is a big sword like him."
Slaughtering proceeded from there. The guards were losing their body parts while Fierlo and Saer were yet to get a flesh-wound.

Their swords were not missing the mark. Fierlo was the one to end the fight by stabbing a crawling guard.
Count of corpses had reached eleven.
"Where's that loose mouth, fatso?" Fierlo peeked out of the door.
Saer began to wipe blood from his sword.
"I don’t remember you being this good with blades." Fierlo had to say, "Will you tell me where you got this great sword from?"
"From a good forger." Saer said as Fierlo walked beside him in the passage.
"You have been keeping secrets, aren’t you?" Fierlo's voice changed.
"Yes. And don’t even think of being part of it." Said Saer while they were leaving the brothel.
Without exchanging any words, the two cut-throats hit the street again in search of Tadeas' address.
However, the result remained same. Tired, they headed for a natural tap to drink water.
In total, there were twenty of them in a single place.
Those taps appeared to be things of elegance with dragons carved on their mouths.
"You know why such hated creatures are given this much priority?" Saer broke silence when he gulped the fresh water. He did not even wait for Fierlo to hum, "The king who lived here long ago believed dragons are misunderstood creatures. In fact, he loved them. And he wanted people to love them as well. So he made these dragon sculptures."
"You know a lot about this city, don’t you?" Fierlo also drank some water, "Have you already been here?"
"You are again trying to be part of something confidential."
"Explains everything."
"See, I don’t want to be rude. Not to you."
"Doesn’t seem you are trying."
"Don’t blame this man." A young man intervened, "This city is renowned. The man with sword must have heard about here at some point of time."

"Sorry, who are you?" Fierlo narrowed his eyebrows.
"Just someone who has seen you wandering in alleys of the city ten times a day." Young man smiled.
"And happened to meet us." Saer said, "Doesn’t seem like a mere coincidence to me."
"This might be fortune for you."
"Then don’t keep the fortune waiting, boy."
"Everyone here knows where Tadeas lives. But nobody will tell you the address."
"And why would you?"
"I hear you have coins."
"Who told you?" Saer got alerted.
"A rich man can't go unnoticed here."
Saer plucked out a coin from his bag, looked around for anything suspicious and when he didn’t see any, he tossed the coin at the young man.
He caught it with delight.
"Follow this route. Then you will see a big banyan tree. Take left from there and soon you will see a yellow house. It is where Tadeas lives." He said then started to disperse from the cut-throats' company.
"Wait. Why didn’t anyone tell us about it? Why did you sell the detail for a coin while nobody else did?"
Young man turned at them, "Because I have nothing to gain from Tadeas."
They let him go from there.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
