CHAPTER TEN
Davram and Slim Rowon dried out back in the tavern. They had no coin left for anything.
Simon came over.
"They cleaned me out," Slim Rowon said.
"The offer still stands," Simon said.
"We'll do it. A good dinner and more ale and we leave in the morning. Point us the way."
"Eat and drink on the house. Take a room up the stairs. I'll wake you at dawn."
"I'm coming as well," Marasoldig said, standing at the entrance, dripping from the rain.
"Why should we take you?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I could shove your own cheap sword up your asshole and break it off instead."
"Well. Welcome, then."
"I want a chicken and beer. And a room my own," Marasoldig said and sat at their table.
She tossed Slim Rowon's sword on the floor. He picked it up.
"You're a soldier?" Slim Rowon asked.
"I am a fighter," Marasoldig said.
"Where did you learn to fight?"
"Nowhere."
After that they sat in silence until her chicken and beer came. Slim Rowon was served mutton and Davram drank the ale. Marasoldig stared at Davram as she ate. She wiped chicken grease from her chin.
"Why did you help me?" she asked him.
"It did not seem kind, what he was doing."
"Kind?"
"I must be kind. Somei said to me that I must never forget."
She stared at him for awhile, chewing her food. Then she nodded and drank the entire mug of beer.
"I will follow you until I am dead," she said to him.
Slim Rowon froze with his mouth open.
"Are you my friend, then?" Davram asked.
She seemed to ponder this. Then she shook her head.

"We are no friends. I am to serve. These are the rules."
Davram blinked.
"What are the rules?" he asked.
"There are rules to the world which we must abide by."
Marasoldig stood up and took the pitcher of beer up to her room and shut the door.
"How fortune turns in a single day," Slim Rowon whispered, "Let's be wary of her."
"I trust her," Davram said with a smile.
"You trust too easily, my friend."
"Do I?"
"She's a stranger."
"You were a stranger."
"I am obviously trustworthy and honorable to any eye. It is a different case. Let us retire, Davram. Tomorrow will begin soon, and today has been long."
They found an empty room with two beds and soon were asleep.

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com
