Lao Tzu, Jimin And The Unknown Princess

          The land of Hubrim. 

    "What's up with them guys up there?"

    Jimin asked, struggling to share his gaze between Lao Tzu and the sight ahead of them. 

    There was a group of men in sight and they seemed to had gathered around another who seemed to be acting out some moves. 

    Lao Tzu obviously wasn't in the mood. And he didn't have the strength for the odds,

    "You don't get sick of surprises, eh? This time, twould be your head that'd be chopped off. "

    Jimin wore him out with a scornful look. He didn't owe him much of an explanation. He left him standing and hurried to catch a suiting sight of what was going on in the midst of the group. 

     "Damn youth."

    Lao Tzu said in akimbo. He was wearied. Not only of the wandering but of the crazy younger brother. He could just dispose of him easily. 

    They had just gotten outta trouble with a fellow while they were coming through the prior route. 

     Well, he had sent Jimin to ask a question from the guy about where they could get an affordable place to stay for the night before they would continue their search for a sorcerer. 

   In no time did he notice the differences swelling between the man and Jimin. He had hurried there to separate them. If he hadn't been point on time, the man could had sunk his small knife in the side of Jimin. 

   The sway Lao Tzu made messed with the aim of the man. The knife sunk in Lao Tzu's bag as he knocked the man out. 

    The sac held by the man fell and from it poured out different roots, herbs, super white bones, used cans and hair. They needed no soothsayer to tell them that, the man was a mad man. 

    They had depended their lives on their soles as they ran away from the man who gave up on them after several attempts. 

    Lao Tzu feared such thing would happen again and at that point had left Jimin to bear whatever odd he pulled on himself. 

     But he couldn't take it. He was responsible to him. But his attention was chopped as he saw a lady walking towards him. At first, he thought he was hallucinating or probably feeling himself, but then the lady got to him. 

     He threw his face away in defense but the lady acted as though she had never heard the word, 'shame'.

     "Hey handsome, in for some quickie. Just two Aureus."

     He couldn't resist her. He looked. The lady was quite too beautiful for such a work. He didn't even know that there were such ladies as prostitutes in that place. 

      "I'm afraid I didn't get what you meant."

   At that, the lady held his left hand and pulled him to one of the trees around there. Tzu followed as though he was being pawned. 

  She stopped and pushed him to the bark of the tree, his back pressed tightly. 

    Then she pressed her body on him tightly in a hug, wrapping her arms around the stem of the tree. 

   Her boobs were roughening his robe and he could feel his penis tugging. 

    Still pressed to him, she pushed her neck up and brought her face closer to the rise of his neck. 

     "I bet you have an idea now."

    She muttered, chopping the words into seductive notes. 

      "Let go of our Ayla."

     Tzu heard someone calling from few metres away. He looked. One of the men who was part of the group was staggering towards him. 

   Twas hard to tell if the fellow was dancing or running. Well, seemed like a hidden artist was playing a rhythm only him could hear. 

     "Fucking asshole."

      Ayla said and unwrapped herself from Tzu. He only looked from her to the guy dancing towards them. He seemed to be drunk. 

     Ayla was standing beside him. 

     "Who are you? Get the hell out of here. It's my turn tonight. Isn't that right, Ayla."

    The man turned to Ayla who twitched her nose in contempt and hurled back at the fellow. 

     "You don't get to choose for me, bitch!"

   She said, then looked at Tzu,

     "His dick size is even small. And now he is making a hymn."

     As soon as she finished saying that, the man began to throw his arms at Tzu in outrageous manner. Twas quite easy for Tzu to duck. 

   As Tzu ducked, the fellow hit his arms against the tree and seemed to feel no pain. 

    Soon, the group up ahead of them dispersed and the men began to run towards them. 

    Jimin was part of them. He had a swollen and tied white cloth in his left hand.

   Tzu had no idea what was there but would ask when the time was right. 

     "Let him go, Aoima. Ayla is yours."

    Few of the men had gotten there. One had held unto the Aoima guy and was pulling him away. 

     "Let's go home and wait for her. She'll come. You have my words."

    At that, Aoima quit the arms throw and was led away by the men. Three stayed back. 

     "You two don't get to have whatever you want here."

    One of the three men said to Jimin and then wore Tzu out with an odd ogle. Then they stomped off. 

   Before Tzu could figure out what was happening, Ayla was off, disappearing into the length of the way. 

   He quickly hurried to catch up with her. 

    "We ain't here for a lady. "

    Jim said as he picked up Tzu's bag, the white cloth in his hand. He ran to catch up with him. 

   He got to Tzu and was walking behind the two of them. 

    "Why stalk me now? I do quickie, not two-some."

     The lady said as soon as she noticed Tzu. 

     "Quickie?"

     Jimin shouted. Tzu turned to him and hurled,

     "Shut the fuck and quit being a bitch."

    Jim eyed him but kept it for another day. 

    They kept walking for a while. Neither Tzu nor Jim had an idea where they were going. Jim was only following Tzu. And Tzu? Maybe following Ayla. 

    "He was a great sculptor, you know. But after that lady came to our land, he became miserable and a sex addict. If he's unable to get a sex mate, he drinks. Miserable, you'll say."

    Ayla severed the silence. Tzu wasn't expecting that, he quizzed?

    "What lady?"

    He seemed to have an idea of the guy she was referring to. 

    "Some sort of crazy Seductress. I hate to admit that she's way hotter than I am."

     Jim rushed to match up with their pace. He shot,

    "Is her name Lailah?"

     "Who cares what her name was?"

    She shot back. Tzu eyed Jim and took his turn.

     "Take me to her house."

     She stopped and looked him from head to toe. 

     "Now, I'm your messenger? Do I look like a fool or something? I'm sure you're broke as fuck. Who knows if you're even small down there?"

   She said and started walking away. 

    "Hey, bitch!"

   Jimin called her and opened the tied white cloth. There were loads of Aureus there. She gasped and ran back. 

    Tzu was shocked. He had no idea where Jim had gotten that lot of money from. 

     "You're in now?"

    Tzu tried to play along. 

    She sighed and said,

     "Well she's no longer here. She's now in Ikpala, we heard. She killed some kings and was ruling. Wish I had her kinda black magic to control people at my own will."

     Tzu ignored all the complements and asked,

     "How far is Ikpala from here?"

     She hissed and shot at him,

     "Go ask some boat men and pay me my round. Quickie or not."

   Jimin took one of the coins and plastered it on her face. Then he turned and both of them began to walk away. 

   The lady took the money off her face in disbelief and screamed at them,

     "Fuck you!!!!"

     "We love you too."

    Tzu shouted in return. 

     "We'd you get this money?"

    Tzu asked Jim as they walked on. 

    "I hate that word!!!"

    They heard her say again but who cared? 

 Jim smiled at Tzu who was bent on being filled in on the details. 

    "Fuck Lailah."

    Jimin said to Tzu.
