16 Trash (1/2)

The trail that Sagar followed lead him towards what seemed to be some kind of cavern. He was positioned quite a distance away from it but his eye sight improved with his body so he had no problem with seeing it from where he was at. Standing outside the cavern there looked to be two people who were guarding the entrance. Sagar figured they were part of larger group that were located here but he couldn't tell if the main group itself was here.

From where he was at he couldn't hear anything that would be going on the cavern and it became too dark to tell if there was any movement from within the cavern either. Sagar decided to wait and see if anything would happen he would make a decision based on what he was able to figure then.

He wasn't too worried about being found out as his elemental fusion with Almighty made his very presence hard to notice and even if they were to notice him they would probably think that they were imagining things as they wouldn't find any traces of any energy coming out from his direction. Still Sagar wanted to be cautious so he kept the distance that he had and did his best to mask his presence into the background of the forest.

A hour or two had passed and Sagar was still waiting to see if anything was going to happen. He honestly didn't think anything would happen anytime soon but he wasn't impatient as he wanted to see this through to confirm what this group was doing. As he was thinking this he noticed a somewhat large group making their towards the cavern. They were still some ways away but Sagar could still feel them.

From what he could tell the group itself numbered about 30 members all of differing levels of power. A good chunk of them were Intermediate warriors with some Novice levels here and there, Sagar wasn't really worried about them. The one's who worried him were the three that were at the Expert level one these guys was even a mage. Sagar wasn't absolutely sure if this was the entire group but the strength of them put him on edge. Individually or in small numbers he was confident in fighting them even if the three Experts were in a group together he was sure he could take them down. All of them as a group though would prove to be a massive headache and while Sagar was sure he would survive the encounter he would probably suffer worse injuries than when he fought the alpha wolf a couple years back.

Sagar waited patiently for them to get closer to them when they came into the clearing near the entrance of the cavern. The two guards greeted the group and one of the leaders began discussing something with the guards. Wanting to hear their conversation Sagar carefully made his way closer to the group. As he was closing the distance he noticed that several members of the group were carrying something in their arms. They were mostly children of varying ages with most of them being slightly younger than Sagar himself, besides the children some members were carrying tied up women of relatively young ages. Lastly some carried sacks filled with so much stuff he looked like the bag itself couldn't handle the weight.

He could already guess about what they've done and been doing since they've been here. Hearing the conversation with the discussion happening between one of the Experts and the guards only helped reaffirm his thoughts.

”Did anything happen while we were gone?”, the Expert questioned the two guards.

Both shaking their heads one of them responded in a bored manner, ”No unfortunately. It would have been nice to be able to do something other than stand around waiting for everyone to get back.”

The Expert nodded his head then turned to look at the rest of the group telling them, ”You know where to put the supplies along with the children.As for the women we'll have fun with them later we have some more raiding to do.”

Hearing one of their leaders words the rest of the group cheered and rushed inside the cavern to put down what they had gathered. As for the three Experts they began deciding on where to go next.
