This is a warning. Please, people with a faint heart and those eating at the moment don"t read this chapter.

You have being warned!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They walked down the street and it took them a while to get to the house. The fat man was sitting in front of the house and eating some kind of meat.

Kendra wondered last time as well. How is it possible that this person eats meat the whole day but his house looks like that.

He jumped up from the squeaking chair and smiled with a mouth filled with rotten teeth.

This stunned her even more. How is it even possible to eat with such teeth without pain.

If it were her world she would think that he used drugs, but here...

Oh well, not her problem at the moment. The two came closer and Kendra had to take a deep breath because he stank so much.

It was not like that last time. She looked at him closer and saw his boiled skin.

She shook slightly. Please, please no pest, she begged inwardly.

Officer Luar saw her reaction but taught it"s because the smell was overwhelming. He stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"We came to see are you selling your house. If not we will turn around and leave." he was quite blunt in his words.

""Sell, sell of course sell. I want to go to the capital and live nice there. This city is so boring. And people here are making me angry all the time. Complaining, complaining and complaining. So many rules as well...Horrible."" He continued to talk about the city and Kendra"s and Luar"s face started getting darker and darker.

The smell that wafted from his body and breath was so suffocating that they almost threw up. Officer Luar couldn"t handle it well. He raised his and to stop him.

""Stop talking. Just say the price and when do you plan to leave?""

The fat man was not stupid. He knew that he could get a good price. ""I have here the big house and the twelve small houses in this street. There is as well five houses that own me money in the adjacent side so all together you can have seventeen small houses and a big house. The price is 3 big gold and ten silver. I can leave today. I have my own carriage. So I can leave now.""

He stood there smugly and full of confidence. Kendra didn"t think about it twice...""Deal. We go make the deal at the office now and you don"t go back. Just leave house and city right now.""

He was stunned by little child"s words. Right away? But his plans. Oh never mind he will enter the city later on market day and take care of his stuff after that. He agreed and moved towards a shed. He brought out big horse and carriage and invited them in. But the smell was so offensive so they choose to walk back.

When he pa.s.sed them he laughed with his mouth open and Kendra finally couldn"t handle it anymore and threw up on side of the street. Officer Luar patted her back and comforted her.""Soon he is going to get out of the city.""


She shook her head.""He will try to come back, I could see his expression. Something is going on here and we have to find out. No matter how disgusting it is. By the way, I saw worms in his mouth, I think we should literally destroy the house and dig deep. I think something big is brewing here under it. And it"s not good.""

He got frightened. What if there is one of those disgusting sicknesses from other city"s?

""You need to take the horse and get the Lord and soldiers. This house and the rest of them will have to be destroyed. I think someone let something filthy into the city and I am not talking about that human filth. This time is worse than that. You have to hurry up straight after signing in. Oh no. Can you take contracts outside? I don"t think its good idea to have him enter office...""

When he taught about it, he had to admit. That stench, he wouldn"t be able to handle it. The office would have that stench probably for days.

They needed, of course, some time to go back to the office. When they saw the carriage and the man getting off, officer Luar got creeps. If that man really wants to enter the office...He felt sick.""Stop right there. I will bring you the contracts. Can you read?"" he asked in a hurry.

""Yes I can. My late mother was a servant at n.o.bles house so she learned and taught me on end. Bring contracts. I am anyway to lazy to walk today."" He lazily spread his legs and the dirty pants that had holes showed his stuff in open air...Kendra felt sick again but held in. She started shaking. How dirty and disgusting. She needs to hold in, she whispered in hope to get some strength.

Officer Luar came rather fast back and saw shaking Kendra that had a green face and beads of sweat on her forehead. It seems she really hates dirty stuff. He didn"t know that she saw maggots all over his body through those holes. That person lives with that kind of body, she needs to hold on and burn that place to the ground. It"s impossible to live without pain with that kind of creatures crawling all over your skin.

The man read through the contracts, nodded and signed down. She required him even to press his fingerprints as Kendra asked through her breaths. After she gave the officer Luar the money she looked at those doc.u.ments in disgust. How can she disinfect this?

The men left with a bright smile the city and Kendra finally started breathing. But even air he was around still had stench so she turned green and reached. She looked at officer Luar and motioned with her hand to hurry up. She sat down on the stairs of the office as her head started feeling dizzy.

So dirty. She doesn"t mind touching dirt, blood or even faces. But this thing. She never heard even in her old world that someone can live with such thing without pain. She remembered the black plague but this didn"t seem that sickness. It seems a different world in different situations.

One of the guards gave her pot with water and when he didn"t look she stirred it with her powers to check off anything weird and drank it. Lately, she started feeling wexed. She needs to get out of the town. She planned for weeks to go to the sea, but things happening every day. She is not big enough to handle everything. But after she finishes here. She definitely will go and have some fun... Before first storms.

She sat down for a while and heard the clatter of horses running towards her. She raised her head and saw Xara and the Lord on horses with a worried expression. He jumped off the horse and run towards her.""Are you alright? Luar told me you asked for us and that you feel sick. What happened?""

Kendra explained to him in short words. She just didn"t have the strength to handle any talking now.

""Officer Luar. I know that I always ask you this and that, but could you please help me with my little sister. I am away for so long. Can you go and check on her. Oh ...I forgot all that stuff that is coming to me. Can you take over all teh food I ordered and find someone to let it all inside the garden. Don"t let too many people in. You know the secret, not everyone should know about it.""She whispered on the end. He nodded sat on the horse and before he runs off she stopped him to give him money to pay the rest of the vegetables if they need.

She looked at the Lord and Xara and sighed. ""Lock this part of town, but be low. It is after all the market day. Not many should know what we are doing. When we get there your earthen and stone powers can make walls from both sides so we can protect the people in case we find something dangerous.""

She sat on one of the carriages they brought and they went off to the place that man left. On her way she explained them her plan.""When we get there we will ask families the families to get out the houses as we need to disinfect the whole area. They will understand, as that man is just nasty. I don"t joke when I say he had maggots and rotten skin all over his body. Did any of you ever hear about such thing?""

The Lord frowned. ""I heard that in few cities some weird sickness appeared. They don"t know when it started. All people that got in touch with those people got sick as well. The worst thing you didn"t know who is sick till is too late. Maybe it started here as well?""

Kendra frowned as well. ""We definitely need to burn that place and dig it out. I think the answer is under the house. And I think it didn"t start a long time ago. When I first met him he was just a normal man, fat but not filthy or sick. We need to check the house. You are probably right about the animals. Maybe they bring the sicknesses forth. Wait... He always had some meat munching...Did he eat something dirty without knowledge? Maybe is not sick then poisoned? Having such body but not feeling pain doesn"t seem like sickness, more poisoning.""

But what awaited them was even worse than they expected...
