Chapter 18 - Gravelside: City of Mining (2)

"Poral. Report." said a figure sitting down on chair in the darkness as he stroked a cat.

"Yes Mayor. Two foreigners tried entering the city penniless and without Identification. We tried stopping them but then Shuin stopped us and let them in."

The figure grunted with irritation as he then said,"That brat is gonna be the end of me. Next time if he stops you from doing your work or he ignores my decrees he'll be punished. As for those two make sure you have an eye in them if they seem suspicious take them out when no one's looking." he made the cut throat sign when he said take them out.

"If they fishy I take them out. Sure thing Mayor." Recited Poral making sure he heard right.

"Good. Now get out of my sight! I need some time to think and I can't when you standing like a goon."

Poral walked out from the Mayor's office and into the corridor of the the building where Poral's persona goons were waiting for him to receive orders.

"If the two foreigners seem suspicious and causing trouble then take them away and then take them out. One of you find those two and spy on them."

"Yes sir."

...

Meanwhile Lu Ten and Kuro followed Shuin to a tailor and asked for a pair of clothes for them.

"Why are they in that state? They don't look normal." said the tailor.

"That's because those two have been robbed by bandits and now they don't have anything."

"Please sir I'm cold I don't want to die like this clotheles." said Kuro as he tried to act like a 'good boy'.

"Alright." said the tailor giving them a range of clothes to select.

And so Lu Ten wore a green shirt with black pattern, a green scarf belt, black pants and green sandle shoes.

Kuro had a white shirt and on top of that he had a green t-shirt robe, he had a black cloth belt around it, wore white baggy pants and wore green sandle shoes.

Kuro decided that he would keep his long hair into a pony tail that reached half his back whilst Lu Ten would keep shoulder length long hair.

"Great. Now you two won't stick out like before." said the tailor as they exchanged goodbyes.

The one who paid for the clothes was Shuin as the brothers were penniless.

"Do you guys wants some food?" said Shuin as he looked at a food stand selling dango.

"Yes please." said Kuro whilst Lu Ten had a face full of anticipation.

"Hey Mister. I want three dangos one for me and one for my friends."

"Sure. Three dangos coming right up! So how you boys feeling today?"

The dango stand seller was a middle aged man who wore a white apron and a white cap like ichiraku ramen guy.

"Were feeling amazing today. So we're walking round the city because everyday is another adventure." said Kuro.

"Yeah who knows what you can find everyday. There's always something new." said Lu Ten.

"You guys are right and that's why living is amazing. I'm Tenchi and I manage this stall."

"I'm Yami!"

"I'm Ryu!"

"And I'm Shuin and it's nice meeting you."

The boys said goodbye and off they went to the mines looking for the head of mining Mr Zang.

"So what would you guys want to do? Collect Gravel at the Gravel Pit or do you want to mine some gemstones?"

"I'll do Gravel and Ryu will do Gemstones."

And so they arrived at the mine, the mine was just under the mountain as there was a tunnel with rather than wooden pillars to support it was stone pillars. It looked like Earthbenders were used to make these.

Shuin goes to the entrance of the tunnel and shouts,"Oi! Zang get your b.u.t.t over here!"

Soon enough a man walks out with short spikey hair. He'd dirtied and messy from the mining, he has a green helmet on and wields a pickaxe in his hand.

"It's you Shuin. If I'd been anyone else I'd kick their asses. What do you want? We don't need more pillars from you."

"Zang buddy! I want to introduce you:This is Yami."He points at Kuro,"And this is Ryu."He points at Lu Ten.

"They want to work for you. Yami will go to the Gravel pits and Ryu will mine the gemstones."

"Nope sorry can't do it. Especially letting this Ryu guy mine in the mine as only those I find put in the effort deserve the privilege."

"Listen to me buddy. Do me a favour and let them do what I said. Don't forget you owe me a favour for previous pillars."

Seconds later and Zang was standing their thinking before saying." Fine I'll let them work and I'll let Ryu work in the mines"

"That's my good friend!" said Shuin as he slapped the back of Zang.
