Original X-roads-2003

    More townspeople fled at the sight of him drawing a shadow sword out of nowhere.
    He held it upright and a lightening bolt struck Rasfer.
    The remains townspeople began to push and fight against the soldiers to get to the carriage to avenge the death of the town drunk.
    Daemon let loose a barrage of lighting. The light was so bright it blinded everyone who saw it.
    The townspeople began wandering around in dismay, clutching at whomever they caught first.
    Rasfer regained consciousness to see blind men and women scuffling.
    Alrik Peit emerged from the carriage and approached Rasfer. “Look at what you caused. You blindly led these people astray with your blind ideas. You do not know what lays beyond these waters. It could be death or a peoples with no mercy. We have done you a favor on this day. Be satisfied with what you have, and do not worry about what you have not.”
    Rasfer turned and quickly ran out of town.
    Alrik ordered that the troops finish the building of the bridge.
    Alrik knew that by the time they finished the bridge, Rasfer would have reached Asron and spread word. Alrik left Daemon to oversee the operations. Then Alrik rode back in the carriage to the castle, to order reinforcing troops. When he returned to Frija the bridge would be finished, and all this nonsense could be put to rest.
