An hour went by in a flash as they approached the town known as Kurts. Sirus told the plan to the human, who would undoubtedly try his hardest as he would be relieved of his shameless debt.
"I can sense other humans approaching not long now, are you ready? I will not accept anything less than perfect." Sirus spoke as he stared at the human with his red eyes.
"Yes." Simply said the human in a low voice as he played with his hands, his heart pounding ever faster as he was scared, not because of the monster but the guards refusing to let a monster inside the town, and him getting killed on the spot just for speaking such nonsense. "Ahh, may I know your name, umm, sir?"
"Sirus, you may call me Sirus." Sirus Replied as he simply stared over. As he planned and tracked every movement of the humans at the entrance, as well as the archers, on top of the walls.
"S-Sirus? I have never heard of such a name, where d-did you come from if it isn't so selfish for me to say?" Mumbled the human in a low voice, still stuttering as he was scared to offend the monster.
"If I were to tell you, not a single being on this planet would believe me, much less a shameless human who cried for his mother." He laughed shortly after as he couldn't get over the thought of being in debt for something a child could work and earn 5 silvers in about 2 weeks..
"I-I would still like to kno…" Before he could even finish his sentence he bumped into the monster, who raised his fist in the air, signalling to halt their movements.
"We're less than a hundred metres away from the entrance." He paused to look at the human. "I let you take more than enough time to let you prepare yourself so you better not disappoint me or I'll skin you alive and…"
"I am ready! I promise! I won't fail you, Sir Sirus!" He spoke in a hurry as he jogged over to the guards as the rattle within his back sounded.
Sirus leaned over a tree as he crossed his arms, watching the human panic as he jogged over to the guards who could already be seen laughing their asses off, "Seems they know his situation, otherwise even he wasn't in debt I doubt they would laugh so casually at their own civilian."
…
"Hah. Hah. Let me." He raised his hand, to let him take a breather before he spoke.
The guards laughed even louder at his patheticness.
"What do you want, old Joe? Back so soon to beg once more? Well, you better turn back now before you humiliate yourself, even more, HAHAHAHA."
"P-please I'm not here to beg again, just a request! Please!" Old Joe bowed his head.
The guards all stopped laughing and turned serious as they narrowed their eyes to wonder what would make him act so differently all of a sudden.
"Go on." Said one of the guards.
"I know monsters aren't allowed inside of the town but."
One of the guards widened his eyes in shock, he grabbed old Joe by the collar.
"You want us to let a monster into the town? Have you finally lost your sanity! As if we would endanger our people just so you could bring a monster to rampage into the town! Get lost before I decide to send you to the dungeon." He snotted at his words.
"B-but wait, you don't understand!"
The guard undercut punched old joe in the stomach, and spat at his face. "You bring shame! Get lost!"
Old Joe cried inwardly at the pain caused to his stomach, but he refused to give up as his life was on the line, with much effort he blurted. "It can speak! The monster can speak fluently In our language! I-I even spoke to it!"
What old Joe just said shocked the guards and was surprised at his words. "What do you mean it can speak our language?" Spoke the guard, not believing for a second what he said were true.
"It's true! You have to believe me, actually, in fact, he's back there waiting for me!" Cried out old Joe as he pointed a trembling finger at the forest.
The guards felt a cold shiver running up their spine as they slowly looked at the forest. They felt a cold sinister stare looking at them. They all gulped at once, even without seeing what old Joe blurted.
A few moments later as they stared at the forest a tall individual came out from the forest and slowly walked forward with a menacing aura, that they could feel even from hundreds of metres away from here, they felt as if they could barely breathe.
"W-what have you, DONE! Raise the alarms quickly!" As he stared up towards the wall, a scout of sorts quickly retrieved his horn and after with a deep breath he blew through the thin funnel, sending out a loud old viking sound that resounded throughout the entire town, startling their residents.
Chaos shortly arrived at the people of Kurts as their people ran towards the centre of town where they would evacuate through there.
A few moments later nearly all the guards and what seemed to be a couple of dozen humans dressed in strange clothing as some wield swords, others wielded staffs or even wands.
A force of more than 200 fighters appeared at the gates. "What happened!? Why did someone sound the alarm?"
"A monster swarm is coming."
"WHAT! But the nearest monster forest is more than 2 weeks away! What would they be doing here!"
"Hey look! It's just one monster!"
"Eh? Why would they sound the alarm for one monster?"
Confusion quickly spread throughout the people and the newly arrived guards.
…
'Shit, maybe I should have followed behind him, now I got to deal with these idiots. As if a human could talk to the guards about letting a demon in.' Sirus signed heavily and pounded at how to approach this army calmy to get rid of this misunderstanding.
