Chapter 7: Diablo

  We start with Namato leaving Evelyn's house while she gets ready. He looks around to find Vodden who is just lying down in the field of flowers. Namato approaches him and before he can say anything.

  "They both would love this view, my daughter and wife would just play all day long together in a field just like this, I was too drunk earlier to notice how beautiful it is out here, I wish I could've spent more time with them" Vodden said as tears started rolling down his face.

  "I bet you they are up there right now having the best time in a beautiful field" Namato says.

  "Yeah" Vodden said while wiping the tears away.

  "You know you don't have to come with us if it's too much"

  "I need to go find him, then I will avenge my family" Vodden said and Namato wanted to say something until Khatar's voice could be heard shouting from the house.

  "Hey guys we are about to head out so be ready soon!"

  "Alright let's get going" Namato said as he held out his hand and helped Vodden get up.

  "Namato thank you, you are a good kid" Vodden said as they both walked together back to the house. But in the distance unbeknownst to them someone was watching.

  "Alright, which one of you is Khatar?" The figure said with a raspy female voice.

  "Ilyanna, I'm hungry when can I eat?" A little boy voice can be heard close to the female.

  "After I'm done with this mission we will go catch something, now just sit your butt down till I get back"

  Back at the house the crew are getting ready to leave.

  "Here you go" Evelyn said giving a bottle of alcohol to Vodden.

  "What's this for?"

  "Aren't dwarves stronger when they are drunk?"

  "No but I'll take it anyways thanks"

  "Khatar how come you can't teleport us to the city?" Evelyn asked Khatar.

  "First off it's way too far and secondly I would be using a lot of my mana"

  "I thought you two knew each other from before?"Namato asked.

  "I just met her once, she almost killed me, but luckily someone else stepped in and stopped everything"

  "Yeah you are lucky he was there" Evelyn said.

  "Hold on, why did you try killing him and who are you talking about?" Namato said sounding scared of Evelyn.

  This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

  "Some people wanted me gone, Khatar was sent cause they thought he could win, but a man named Zitho was there too and he was the one to stop me"

  "I should've known it was Zitho" Vodden said while already being drunk from the booze and stumbling around.

  "Am I the only one who doesn't know who Zitho is?" Namato asked.

  "He is just one of the most powerful people in the world, without a doubt he can beat me" Khatar said as Namato was shocked.

  "You never say someone can beat you, that must mean this guy is really strong"

  "Yeah he could destroy a country with ease" Evelyn said. Then as they started walking they heard the woman's voice.

  "Hey which one of you is Khatar?" The woman said approaching them. She had freakishly strong muscles with short black hair with red highlights. She also wears baggy black cargo pants with a black button long sleeved shirt. She also wears big brown boots.

  "Khatar is actually in that tavern" Evelyn said pointing to her house. The others were confused.

  "Thanks darling" Ilyanna said while making her way towards the house.

  "We have to go now" Evelyn whispered to Khatar.

  "Who is she?" Khatar whispered back.

  "She is the bounty hunter Ilyanna, better known as Diablo, we could win but she would definitely not go down easy"

  Khatar thinks to himself. Ilyanna that was my sisters name but she is long gone now.

  "Hey Khatar if you are in there please come out and make it easy on yourself" Ilyanna shouted at the house and the crew could hear her as they were walking away.

  "Hey Khatar that lady over there is looking for you" Vodden said out loud not knowing because he is so drunk. Ilyanna looked over and then pointed her finger like a gun towards the house. Namato watched her as a giant fireball formed from her finger and destroyed the entire tree.

  "Shut the hell up you drunk fool" Evelyn angrily said.

  "Guys I think she heard us" Namato said with a scared voice and they all stopped walking away.

  "You know I don't like liars, but I'm feeling nice today, so which one of you is Khatar?" Ilyanna said.

  "That one" Vodden said while pointing at Khatar.

  "Alright no more booze for you" Khatar said.

  "Khatar I have a bounty to bring you in alive so you are going to come with me"

  "And if I say no?"

  "Then I'll tie you up and take you anyway"

  "We have somewhere to be so excuse us" Evelyn said while walking away. Then before Ilyanna could do anything a giant group of 100 goblins appeared and surrounded them. The goblins all have spears and bows. They are also riding wolves.

  "Ah great" Evelyn said while sighing to herself.

  "Hey Evelyn you know these guys?" Namato asked.

  "Yeah they are goblin raiders, I pay them to leave me alone but since all you guys are here they won't leave this time"

  "Where is the one named Namato?" One of the goblins asked.

  "That one" Vodden said still drunk pointing at Namato.

  "Dude seriously we aren't giving him anymore alcohol" Namato said as Khatar and Evelyn both nodded their head in agreement.

  "Our leader wishes to speak to you regarding Azril and the goblin family that you saved" The goblin said.

  "Hey I was here first so let me fulfill my bounty and then you can have that plain looking idiot" Ilyanna said and Khatar chuckled at it.

  "I'll let you take me if you can beat me in a battle"

  "Oh boy you I'll take you on that deal, but you are going to regret it"

  "Khatar are you sure about this, she is a very challenging opponent" Evelyn said.

  "Don't worry I've been training, also Namato you better watch closely, someday you will have to be stronger than even me" Khatar said looking at Namato.

  "We will watch but after that you must come with us, our leader has a gift for you" the goblin said as all of them sit down on the grass or sit on the wolves to watch the fight. Both Ilyanna and Khatar go out a little bit more in the field so they don't accidentally hurt anyone watching. Khatar takes out his blades and gets into a fighting stance. Ilyanna points a finger gun towards Khatar and pretends to fire.

  "Alright guys on the count of 1 you two will fight" Namato shouted towards them.

  "Alright" they both shouted back.

  "3"they both tensed up.

  "2" they both takes deep breathes at the same time.

  "1"
