《The Forgotten legend of the north》Chapter 13. A gambler's night
Advertisement
Both Valdezie and Rah fall down to their respective vice, Valdezie had already finished his three drinks asked for another three meanwhile our sin free priestess is making her first gamble in an old and rusty iron slot machine, where each symbol were a enjoyment of the pirate life, rum, gold coin and a shadow of a naked woman.
"One time doesnt hurts right?" Said to herself Rah as to try to evoke strength, coin after coin were put into the machine and the lever was pulled, after some funny music the symbols stopped and a winner sign appeared.
"It can't be, Valdezie look I won!!" Sai a joyful Rah
"I did tell you, you were the right person to the job" a heavy drunk Valdezie replied while asking for three more heavy drinks but Rah still hypnotized by the joy of winning couldn't see the state of her partner and continued to play the slot machine.
The moon morph to become the sun and our adventurers still trapped by their enjoyment of life didn't even notice until Charlotte came where they were.
"Oh my.....are you okay?" Asked worried Charlotte while glaring to the maids for an explanation.
"He didn't stop even when we tell him to not drink more he managed to get himself another drink from somewhere" -maid
"C...C....CHEERS!!!!" shouted Valdezie with a mix of growl and drunkenness accent holding up a skull filled with wine.
"W...w....where did you even get that!!!!!???" -Charlotte
"I.....do...not...rembemberrrrrrr!!!!"-Valdezie
"What????......It dosent matter, where is miss Rah??" Asked Charlotte
"Mmmmm......."Valdezie collapsed on his desk while with his last strength before giving himself to the numb feeling of alcohol pointed his finger to the slots machines where Rah hugging various pouch of coins was celebrating her victory versus the slot machine.

"Miss Rah??? ...you don't seem okay" -Charlotte
"I.....I......Im the worst priestess!!!" Rah cried while collapsing to her knees and hugging Charlotte's legs.
Making a sign to a maid Charlotte prepared a room where Rah and Valdezie could get some sleep, Rah just slowly crawled to the bed drowning in her own shame while Valdezie was need to be carried by 4 strong men and then throwe into bed.
After waking up, Valdezie didn't know what happened so leaving Rah sleeping he went to the bar for a drink but was stopped by three maidens and Charlotte herself.
"You.....Can you at least control yourself for a moment and listen to me???" -Charlotte asked clearly fed up with the drunkenness of Valdezie.
"Sure, lets take a sit first" Calm a stone replied Valdezie
".....It looks that you have become the same of before" Stated a relieved Charlotte
"I need you to kill something" proclaimed Charlotte.

Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
