Rest In Peace
Chapter 1: Treasure-Seeker
"And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmmm, mmm" -Spike
The crowd cheers the executioner onwards. Curious,
librarian Skids DiAngelo pauses at the window
overlooking the courtyard to see what the commotion is
all about. He had decided on a last name when his
boss Chang Wufei, or Wufei Chang as the western world
called him, bought him from the slave seller Quatre
Raberba Winner. Wufei and Quatre are close friends
and when Wufei told Quatre that he needed someone to
help him with the library, Quatre sold Skids to Wufei.
Of course Wufei had to give him permission to have a
last name, but he got it all the same. Wufei
basically hired him, giving him a few gold pieces
every now and then. Soon, he'll have enough to be a
free person and no longer a slave. He often wonders
how the other slaves are doing.
"I pay you to work, not to daydream!" Skids' boss
retorts angrily.
"I wasn't daydreaming Wufei. I was just curious as to
why people are being so noisy outside. It's ruining
the calm and serene atmosphere a library should have."
Skids quickly replies, not wanting to get fired from
the job that he is actually good at and returned to
Quatre.
"I'll forgive you, this time. But it best not happen
again!" Wufei reprimands.
"It will not." Skids assures.
"Since it will oh so difficult to concentrate on your
job. We shall go and see what is going on." Wufei
announces. "Lets go."
Skids follows Wufei out the grand doors of the library
and into the balconies overlooking the courtyard.
"What is going on?" Wufei demands to someone standing
beside him.
"Hello to you too." the blond haired man beside him
retorts sarcastically.
"Ah, Quatre, how are you doing?" Wufei asks.
"Well as one can expect from selling slaves. How is
your pupil doing after being bought from me?" Quatre
asks.
"Not bad, apart from being absent-minded at times."
Wufei comments.
"Master, your drink." a man with a bang covering his
face says softly, offering a tray with a glass on it.
"Still favoring this one eh?" Wufei teases.
"You know my tastes. To answer your question from
before, they are holding an old fashion execution.
They're still deciding what to do with the
interloper." Quatre says with disgust.
"And I'm sure that if you were the executioner, he
will already be dead by now. What is his crime?"
Wufei asks.
"Caught fooling around with one of the lord's
concubines." Quatre replies. "Foolish."
"Indeed." Wufei agrees.
Skids and Trowa exchanges silent greetings that goes
unnoticed behind their masters' backs. They turn
their attentions towards the very center of the
courtyard as they lead out the criminal. Several boos
where heard from the crowd. The criminal stops in
front of the lord for judgment.
"You, Cyanide Torres, are found guilty of consorting
with Selena, my concubine. Your punishment is death,
unless you can pay me 500 gold pieces." the lord says,
smugly.
"But Lord Kushrenada, I don't have that much!" Cyanide
protests.
"Then you'll have to settle with death." Lord
Kushrenada says with glee.
"At least he didn't fool around with Zechs. He would
have been dead if it had been Zechs." Wufei comments
to Quatre.
Quatre nods in agreement. Zechs was Lord Kushrenada's
consort only and head concubine. Had Cyanide slept
with him, he would definitely be dead.
"But one must admit, it would be difficult to consort
with the head concubine when the master is with the
head concubine." Quatre comments.
"Too true." Wufei concedes.
They watch as Zechs whispers something into Lord
Kushrenada's ear. A frown mars the lord's face before
a wicked grin appears.
"It seems that my beloved has decided to alter your
sentence. There is a tomb within the desert of great
value. Give me something that is worth 500 gold
pieces and I will set you free." Lord Kushrenada says.
"I shall let the desert decide your fate."
Quatre gasps.
"Quatre?" Wufei asks.
"The Tomb of the Damned." Quatre whispers. "I will
explain later."
"I accept." Cyanide replies, ready to do anything to
live.
"Then you best get started. And since this is an
investment, I will give you 5 gold pieces for
provisions on your journey." Lord Kushrenada says,
deciding to be generous.
"I thank you Lord Kushrenada." Cyanide says, bowing.
Turning, his eyes catch the sight of one Skids
DiAngelo. Vowing to himself to find that person again
later to see if he could get them to help, Cyanide
heads off to prepare for his journey.
Wufei turns to look at Quatre.
"What is this 'Tomb of the Damned'? I have never
heard of it in all my years as a scholar." Wufei
states.
"That's because everyone is suppose to forget about
it." Quatre informs him. "The Tomb of the Damned
belongs to a royal sorcerer and advisor to Pharaoh
Tengo, named only Allen. He consorted with the
pharaoh's daughter, Tabitha, whose own mother
disappeared after her birth."
"And how do you know this when it was supposed to be
forgotten?" Wufei asks.
"My father financed an expedition years ago to learn
more. He went with them. He never returned. I, as
the man of the household, received a letter stating
that my father had last words to tell me before a band
of desert warriors took his life. He passed on his
knowledge to me." Quatre replies.
With the crowd easing, Wufei tells Quatre, "We best be
getting back to work."
"Of course." Quatre replies, bowing slightly.
Wufei bows back before heading back to the library,
with Skids close behind.
