Cleo and Gruntar #13

The hired assassins were transported to the hills of hope, after their encounter with RahTahShar.

Where are we?"

"The Hills Of Hope..."

"but why would we be here?"

"For Hope I guess."

Cleo says with a 'hopeful' attitude

Coughing was heard. Wheezing.

"Huh? What was that?"

"Someone is here. Brace yourself."

Cleo whispers

With Cleo and Gruntar in defence, waiting for whoever they had heard - their faces dropped.

As King Wonder was that person

that they had heard.

"People... here..."

"What? Where?"

"Be...hind..."

King Wonder turns around to see Cleo and Gruntar standing with their weapons in their hands.

"We're not here to hurt you, King Wonder. It would be greatly appreciated if you had the same intentions"

The panic in them both was tremendous

"Relax men!"

King Wonder shouts in a calmly manner

"There is no need for violence."

King Wonder noticed the guilty expressions on Cleo and Gruntar's face when he said this.

"Hmm."

"I'll not ask, what you have done - and you shall be forgiven, for whatever it is. If, you escort me back to my kingdom."

"I'm not sure if you would forgive us your majesty. We've done a lot of bad to get here."

"GRUNTAR???!!!!??"

"Relax!"

"Like I have said. Regardless of the deeds you have committed, I shall forgive you. Now, let's head towards DusGoria!"

While the three men marched back towards DusGoria, Cleo and Gruntar feared for their life.

They did murder some guards, and even killed a FyLore.

"You sure you need us to escort you? You're king Wonder!"

Cleo tried to evade by saying

"Nonsense! Let us walk."

"Bullnarsh..."

Gruntar says to himself

During their walk back, the King asks Cleo and Gruntar some questions about themselves.

"Who are you two anyway?"

"We're assas-"

"ASSISTANTS!"

Cleo butts in quickly

"Assistants? What do you assist with?"

The King asks

"Similar to a guards work. We help clean up the threats and handle important missions."

Cleo answers

"I see..."
