Part 3: A coward

Three weeks. It had been already three weeks since Rue had been awoken from the 21 year old slumber. Yet, though they should have been looking for the rest of their imprisoned allies, Rue had been ordered to learn how the world had changed in the time he slept.

“That mean master!! I thought she cared about the others! She just abandoned me!” Rue drank his frustrations away. The women by his side only could laugh at his attitude, not really knowing what exactly he was talking about.

This was how Rue had spent the last three weeks. Walking around during the day and drinking at any place he could find during the night. Yet this night was different. Rue felt the presence of a powerful being. Even as he drank, Rue kept his guard up. That was when the presence became stronger until the owner of it entered the bar Rue was in. The owner maintained his position at the entrance and looked around before he saw Rue and turned away.

“A coward?” Rue was curiously grinning now. But even though he could have followed the man, Rue decided to let things go. Even if he really thought that he could take on the man, if he was an enemy; the reality was that his master had not given him orders to do so. And the last thing Rue wanted was to anger his master.
