Bead Land~

The troop of Lord James that left Riva days before, arrived at the borders of Bead land. The capital was named Bia, a huge city near the border. Winter in this land was utterly different than the other places. 

The horses followed the leader and halted, the wind was sharp and brutal, Ryan dragged the cloth upper as breathing was hard for him.

A gang of riders approached them. Their faces were covered and only those dark eyes could be seen. Their hair was wrapped by scarves and their clothing was entirely different than people of Velator. Rough kinds of cotton and fury coats that didn't let the wind touch their bodies. Large and oversized pants that tightened near the ankles and seeped in leather long boots.

Bead land was an independent heritage of Velator that they achieved after the war with vampires and now would rule only by leaderships. They were rough and strict people that wouldn't let Velatorian people cross their borders, despite knowing the law.

"Who are you?"

The man who was wearing black clothing and was ahead of the rest in white asked. His hand was on his sword which was as if the crescent moon, sat on the sheath behind him.

"I am Lord Miguel James. We came from Greenwood."

He offered him his emblem, the griffin head was familiar to them.

The man bowed his head, "Lord James is the friend of Faeries, he is the most welcomed here."

"I appreciate your respect. This is my son and these are my men. I am tending to see the leader."

The hosts traded glances and one of them who sounded to be a girl nodded, her honey eyes were on Ryan.

"Follow me," the man stated, turning the horse lariat, he let them to those houses that were instructed entirely different than what you could see in Velator.

The houses and streets, bazaars all had vaulted roofs and all plastered and made of Clay, and straw.

The gateway was wooden but great, the chains rolled over an iron spool and it went wide.

Entering the city, life was ruling there, warm and pleasant air was strolling there. The scent of Kebab could tease the stomach, making it growl and plead for being granted by some of it.

They dismounted and Ryan scanned the place. The west south of Velator was a different world and it was the first time he visited this zone. Customs, costumes, foods, language, faces, everything was different. The green world in this area had a bit rough feature, trees were tall, thick, and old. More palm trees and some other kinds.

The hosts of the lord turned to a street and went to a great mansion at the end of it.

"Father, I expected them to let the swords be nude on us."

"What you heard of them is just myths. Not every ruler would run like the former one. We have the same background."

He smiled at stunned Ryan.

"You knew!"

"I did, I worked with the current leader's father. Her father died two weeks ago."

Ryan took his eyes off his father and glanced at the girl who was talking to someone and his eyes were wandering on them.

She was the first one who entered the mansion and after her, the man in black came to the lord.

"Please, get inside."

His accent was deep but understandable.

"Welcome to the Ballad of Wind."

As they entered the yard, the perimeter of it was full of palm trees and some other kind that Ryan wasn't sure what they were. The place had many lanterns, sparking out many star-like rays.

Water was streaming down a fountain. Ryan halted near a row of bushes.

"Move son, you can see around later."

He bobbed his head and followed his father.

Entering the building, rugs were expanded on the floor, he wasn't sure to take off his shoes but as his father did so, he mimicked the act and took them off.

A red divan was in the hall, the girl that was among the men had her seat there.

She began to remove the materials that covered her face and head.

Ryan couldn't snatch his eyes off her, she had wonderful wheaten skin, her straight hair raven black, and every content on her face as elegant as a goddess that he could once imagine.

"Lord James, welcome to my land."

This one had a fluent dialect. She was well educated, definitely.

Lord James bowed his head for the girl, and she smiled. At least he wasn't one of those who cherished to disgrace a woman for having a high position.

"It is my honor, but sadly I arrived at a time that you are mourning your father's loss. May heavens embrace my friend Abid. Please accept my condolences."

"Thank you, for your sympathy. He talked about you too much. I was wishing to see you soon. I am Saya Bajik."

She turned to the man beside her. "He is Hashin, my captain."

The rituals and the greetings ended soon and the leader of Bead land wished them to have seats and have dinner with them.

The servants set a large table for them and a young boy who hadn't more than seven years old came to Saya. She kissed him on the head and made him sit beside her.

"This is my son, Rohan." 

Ryan coughed, what? She was too young for having a child! 

"Milady, you got married at a young age."

Miguel uttered; his eyes on his son.

"Yes, I got married when I was eighteen. My husband perished last year in the rubbers attack."

Hashin frowned at Ryan. He could swear that this man did not like him. Ryan rolled his head down, having water to send a chill to his burning heart. What the heck was he thinking about? 

"I am sorry, it seems you went through too much lately."

She nodded, sorrow was gleaming out of her eyes.

"Please eat well then we can talk over the matter that brought you here "

The host began first and fed her child first. It touched Ryan's heart. She cared about her son too much.

After dinner~

Saya was waiting for the lord to speak. She could guess what they wanted. The news of imps emerging in Greenwood and the violence in Alovena had made him come there.

"I am going on the heart of the main point. Unfortunately, the imps are increasing and we must stand against them."

She gestured in a thinking figure.

"You want us to join while the court of Velator had stepped back."

She was testing the lord and he grasped it fast.

"I am a part of that court, Milady. Besides, the prince would take all of the knights to the south. We still need men to hunt them down forever in the lands that they came from."

This one amazed her, "Alovena?"

"Yes, your cousin is the king of Alovena and we thought you can convince him to let us fight against imps in their borders."

"This is not what I can concede in certainty. I need to speak with our elders first."

Miguel earned a good deal when she was saying it, he could dream that there was still hope to have their coalition.
