The Thousand Year Dynasty
12.5. Anna Side Story Part 1's
Behind a cliff in shallow waters on the west side of the land died. It looks like a shipwreck that has a big hole in its hull. Lean on the side of a cliff that juts into the sea. Many small boats and boats docked around it.
Not far behind the ship. Still on the rock, but untouched by sea water, stood some tents and original buildings with skeletons full of patches of wood from the former deck of the shipwreck.
It seems that some women and small children are busy doing their daily activities. As for men, almost no more than 5 people were visible in that place.
While inside the wreck in the Captain's cabin, two people were talking. A woman and a man Morra.
The women without wearing the clothes commonly worn by sailors. Dull blue vest shirt. Pants colored ground with boots like those often used by hunters, only me the part that covers the foot line is not tied all, leaving the part left alone open. Seen a sailor hat with a triangular shape located on the table. The woman is Anna, but is often known as Captain Anna.
Men wear clothes similar to Anna's. It's just that the man wasn't wearing a vest. But only the long sleeves are ivory white with a lot of stains here and there. The man was Nikolai, who was also often called Nikolai the Harpun. It was because of his habit of carrying a short, hook-eyed spear wherever he went. His long hair he ponytailed backwards.
"Lately on dead land behind the cliff it is often seen smoke billowing up. What's really going on in there?" Nikolai said from his stool in front of Anna.
"The burning branches on the barren land are not a rare occurrence, Nik" Anna replied casually. Looks like the woman is sharpening a sword that has a not too deep arch, with a grindstone on her desk.
"The smoke is not like smoke from a burning twig or a bonfire, An" said Nikolai, visibly irritated that Anna did not take her words seriously.
"Captain, there's someone coming up from behind a wall of dead earth with Gale" suddenly someone entered the room interrupting the conversation between the two of them.
"What's? Where's them?" Nikolai was surprised and immediately stood up.
"Come, show me the place" Anna said as she sheathed her sword and left the room.

6 People were walking from the direction of the cliff on the east side which is commonly called the 'dead earth wall'. It was seen that a woman wearing a healing suit was holding a boy.
"Let the boy down immediately" Anna said with her hand on the sword ready to pull him out of the scabbard.
"Sorry, there may be a misunderstanding going on here" said the man, who was at the front, trying to calm Anna down.
"It's silent" said Anna quickly with her serious face.
"We don't mean to be evil" said a Narva girl behind the man.
While the woman in the healing clothes dropped off the boy in her trunk.
"Who are y'all? And why are you here?" Anna asked again ferociously as the boy had already run towards a woman behind Nikolai.
"Have you come to arrest me?" Anna looked serious ready to draw her sword.
The man who was hunting raised his hand calmed Anna down.
"Include me Lucia, we are building a city in the land of Pharos. Behind that hill. We're just here to check out the west coast" the Narva girl tried to speak while still raising her hand.
"Create city? Dead on? Are you drunk, miss?" Anna scoffs.
"If you don't believe you can come with us to see for yourself" Lucia replied quickly.
"I'm telling the truth. I don't want to hurt anyone. I was just helping the boy who fell down there" Lucia replied again trying to convince Anna.
"Certainly that?" Now Anna asked the boy standing behind her.
With a chelate the boy nodded, "the brother took away his wounds and pain quickly" replied the grumpy-faced Morra boy with a dry elongated snot mark on his left cheek.
"I told you not to go too far. Why don't you listen to me?" I heard Anna scolding the boy.
"But I was chasing a black shell." The boy tried to defend himself when Anna cut off his words.
"Nikolai brought them back" Anna turned to face Lucia's entourage.
"Have gone there never to come here again. Or your lives will be lost" Anna said later with threats.
Seen some people behind Lucia seemed to react by trying to hold the handle of their respective weapons, but the hunter man who stood the front earlier gave a sign to stay calm.
"Can I help you?" Lucia suddenly asked, while paying attention to the clothes and condition of some people who came with Anna earlier.
"Nothing, already gone there. Don't go back" Anna replied tightly as she stared intently at Lucia.
"All right then. Excuse me" said Lucia who, after nodding politely, immediately rushed to leave the place followed by 5 others.

"Why do you have to be so fierce, An? It looks like they intend well, want to help us" said Nikolai when they returned again in the cabin room of the shipwreck earlier.
"I can't trust a stranger I don't know his origin?" Anna said calmly.
"If you don't believe me, why don't you follow them over the cliff, when they want to prove it to you?" Nikolai looks scuffed.
"What if they're planning something?"
"You must be drunk. You think the five men couldn't have snatched you easily, if they wanted to? They even have a healer, what can you do?" Nikolai Masi ranted to hear Anna's absurd reasoning earlier.
"You can't easily trust a stranger, Nik. Especially Narva. They are all rotten" Anna replied with a serious-looking face.
Nikolai sighed, "then what are you going to do? We won't be able to feed twenty people and eight kids in a week"
"There's still time"
"Anna! You see it's changing seasons now. The weather at sea is not friendly. Don't sail for fish. No merchant ship for us to rob would dare sail" Nikolai stared straight at the woman before him.
While Anna was just speechless throwing her face away, staring at the wooden deck beneath her feet.
Seeing this, Nikolai stood up. Then walk away from the room.
