Chapter 19 - Leave it be! A sneak peek to peace.

While Jaymir and Malerin walked down the road towards the withering tree, the walk was filled with silence the only thing you heard was the wind blowing. Along the way, people passed by and hid their faces, or their pace went faster, it was clear someone was intimidating the town without the consent of the guards.

When Jaymir and Malerin got to the tree, Jaymir saw Malerin's cart on its side and her herbs and flowers were crushed in the dirt. Jaymir took some sticks he had in his bag that were tied onto his walking stick and marked spots he thought looked interesting. Jaymir marked footprints and even some of Malerin's flowers and herbs that were dug into the dirt, then he marked the place the note was left and left a mark in Malerin's wagon, then he also marked the tree, as one of the talismans where still on the ground. It was a clear warning to Jaymir and Malerin to back off, this was extortion and Blackmail.

O'garth appears stomping his foot in the dirt letting Jaymir and Malerin know he was there. A long-disgusted sigh formed from his lips, "Man, you were not imagining things, Malerin. This is a mess." Jaymir was looking at all the clues he marked, and the footprints were leading down the road towards Greemo's place, yet O'garth says, "Jaymir, let my men do their job." Jaymir looks at O'garth with a concerned expression, but O'garth nods comforting it was Greemo. Yet, he said, "Instead of getting in the way let's help Malerin clean up and regather some of her materials." O'garth walks toward the cart and gestures to Jaymir to give a helping hand.

Jaymir slightly walks over, letting out a sigh, yet helps O'garth with Malerin's cart. O'garth makes sure Malerin's cart is seriously damaged, yet states, "Don't worry, Greemo is going to pay for this. I am not letting this go, Jaymir." Jaymir looks up to O'garth and their eyes lock into each other as O'garth says, "Just please let us do our job." Jaymir took a deep breath and said, "Okay, fine." Jaymir and O'garth pick up Malerin's herbs and flowers, they hand them to hurt, and both look down in disappointment and announce they are sorry.

Malerin took the flowers and the herbs, but shook her head as he stated, "This was not your guy's fault, this was someone else." she put a smile on her face as she stated, "Plus I am looking forward to picking flowers and herbs with two gentlemen." Jaymir expression changes to shock then to a smile, yet O'garth heartily laughs and holds his belly, as he states in a tone he was joking around, "Oh, it looks like I have to live up to the name of Brassguard then." Malerin and O'garth laugh together, yet Jaymir looks at them two and smiles.

While Malerin gathered her things, O'garth asked while stretching, "So, Mr. Tradesworth, I have to ask, what are your plans in Bumbleweed?" Jaymir looks towards O'garth and tilts his head, "what do you mean?" O'garth slightly looks behind and towards Jaymir, "You said you are going to be a business rival of Greemo's, yes?" Jaymir looks at him with confusion, "Yeah." O'garth's eyes turned stern as he asked, "What exactly are you going to sell?" Jaymir's eyes widen in shock, yet replies, "I don't know just yet, perhaps a little of everything." O'garth bursts out in laughter as he states, "Man you're trying to get under his skin" he looks back at Jaymir and states, " But I wish you luck." 

Malerin finally gathered all her stuff to gather more materials, and she said, "Alright, gentlemen, I ready!'
