Maybe it was true, maybe it wasn't. I had to check though. I had seen a few Agilulfo's here and there but mainly those who circulated Grimshaw. I didn't have anything against the fellow we had grown up together and tolerated each other, but to me it sounded like fire was still burning for him. So I was seeking out the man who I had taken in pride of knowing, Arlen. He might be a cruel man, but I knew he was older and wise with many years under his paws. I trusts his knowledge in the field of war and I myself was in need of some work. I was getting up there in age myself only being maybe two and a half years younger than Arlen himself. I found my achy body needed a job more often. I dreaded sitting and stooping in my pitty so I seeked out the man who I knew would use me to my abilities without hesitation. I didn't need to prove myself for he knew who I was and my capabilities..or at least what I was like as a younger boy. I had been such a handful often causing troubles when I was there for the few months at a time. I was often off with the younger Skoda's practicing fighting and knocking heads or trying to spy on Arlen for my own entertainment. Arlen had been a helpful man though despite his darker personality, he had been friends with my father at some point when my father did contracted work for him and assassinated many dogs. My dad did so much contracted kills for many that he often didn't have time to watch me nor did my mother so I had been dumped off at Uncle Arlen's place and many others places too. He could have said no, but he did not. I was lucky to have had such good care for a child who didn't have parents around often.
With a sigh I lugged my heavy body forward toward the ruins where I had heard they had last been seen. I wasn't going on the best information, but at this point I was taking anything. It was better than sitting around worrying about my family and brother. I had stopped seeing my family feeling it would be better that way and my brother, I hadn't seen him in a while and it worried me. He was a big kid now, strong and smart but he wasn't thinking his shit though enough for my liking. I was aware he was working for Jezebel, news travels fast when you know who to talk to. I was angry, but I couldn't control him like I could when he was a small child. I lavished the days when he was small to be honest, when he had been cute and shy. When I had ran away with him to keep him safe from all the nasty things out there. I had never introduced him to the Skoda's or Agilulfo's for that reason. They brought darkness with them often and I wanted him to live outside of that but it seemed to be in our blood. It followed both of us.
Slowing down I quietly entered the ruins with pricked ears my tail low and my bi-colored eyes watching every corner. I was cautious at first as I walked in making sure I wasn't walking into a loner who might decide I would make a good fight. I wasn't in the mood for that. Once I figured it was fine I carried on in a brisk trot looking around curiously at the place. I had been here before once when I first passed through when Nile was maybe four months old. I didn't think about that though I paused and took a deep breath, "Oh mister Arlen Skoda! Come here Curly!" I flaunted the nickname about cheekily, I had often called Arlen Curly in an attempt to annoy him when I had been a young boy. I was always surprised he hadn't eaten me as a child.
