Mack took a step to keep walking around the street, but as soon as he stepped forward he saw the three kids with horse's head glaring at him with those big horse's eyes. Mack could easily see rage in their eyes, and a realization ca to him.
He had killed their father.
The kids seed to accept that they could not take revenge as they just stood there unmoving.
Mack resud his walk and passed by them, and without even looking at them, he said,
"My na is Mack, co for your revenge when you think you are strong enough, I will be waiting."
The three kids clenched their fists but in the end went to get their father's body, later the sa day they t an older brother, and together they swore to take revenge, and created what several years later would be know as The Four Horseman, a bandit group that caused terror in the entire planet.
But Mack would never know any of this, and how his actions caused this swirl of events that in the end would end up changing the entire fate of this planet.
What he knew for true was that horseman people were weaker than him, so he was way more relaxed while walking the streets, because apart from so humans and so centaurs, the majority of the people around were those horseman people..
'A planet where the main intelligent species ca from so kind of horse. Who would believe if I told this on Earth?'
Thought Mack, pondering what kind of species he would find out on other planets.
For a brief mont, Mack just wished to travel to all the possible worlds, to see with his own eyes all that existed out there, just exploring, travelling, knowing the cuisines, the woman, and maybe learn different runes.
"sigh"
Mack sighted aloud as if waking up from his dreams, he was indeed free, but not as much as he hoped, this 'organization' of the old man would consu a lot of ti from him, and for the sake of his own goals, he had to commit to the old man plan.
Mack stopped thinking of an easy life and his focus changed to the side, there he saw a horsewoman with slim yet beautiful body using a skirt, the curves were akin to the hottest woman on earth, and the boobs, what was even that, Mack wondered if that even fitted in his hand....
'But that horsehead.....'
Thought Mack, dispersing the thoughts of 'tasting' the local cuisine, and entering a store by the other side of the road.
Mack could not read the signboard of the store, but the 'herbal' design made him rember of those Chinese stores that sold all kinds of pills and plants, picking Mack curiosity.
Entering the store, a strong aroma assaulted him, but a good one, the sll of all kinds of plants mixed, creating a natural perfu to the store.
Mack saw three horsewoman's looking around in the store as if examining the plants and a human girl paying for sothing.
Mack looked around a bit, but because he could not read what was on the small labels he got bored in just a few seconds, none of the plants that Mack saw gave a prompt in his eyes, aning they were all of common grade.
The human girl finished paying and quickly went to leave the store, passing by where Mack.
Mack gave a glance to the girl face and she was indeed beautiful, but not sothing extraordinary, just good enough to not be considered ugly.
The girl noticed this strange man looking at her and looked back, but once seeing Mack red eyes, she lowered her head and averted the gaze.
Mack looked down to see the girl's body more 'accurately', but when doing so, his gaze passed by the plant the girl was holding.
[Dondon, common grade, long ti consumption of the roots can cause death]
Once the ssage popped on Mack retina, the girl already had passed by him.
Mack looked behind,
'What a nice ass tho, that is definitely worth a drama or two'
Thought Mack, looking at the girl leaving the store.
Once the girl left, Mack walked to the owner of the store, a horseman, and asked,
"Is that girl a regular custor here?"
Asked Mack, but still pondering if he should really get himself in a ss just for a nice ass.
'But what an ass, damn!'
Seeing Mack red eyes and the 'unique' clothes he used, the owner of the store pondered if the man was important or not, but still chose the safer, better not get on the wrong side of soone important, he thought.
"Yes sir, she is. She cos every day to buy Dondon for her ill sister. You see, her sister suffer of a rare disease and Dondon is the only thing capable of placating the symptoms.... sigh .... so people are just born with bad luck..."
Said the horseman, as if sympathizing with the custor.
"Indeed, I can relate to those people. My luck was always the worst."
Saying that, Mack wondered if he should ask or not the owner about the Dondon. Things didn't seem so simple as he thought.
"By the way.... Is she consuming the roots? Dondon can cause death in the long term, no?"
Said Mack, as if testing if the owner of the girl knew about that.
"What? Yes, she consus the root, but death? What you an by this? I'm a herbologist and no one ever died by consuming Dondon roots."
Said the horseman, doubting Mack words.
"Any of them consud for a long ti? Maybe you should try using it for a few years and see what happens...."
Said Mack, half mocking, half threatening the herbologist.
'What kind of joke is this? Saw no one die? Did he even learned anything before selling those things?'
Thought Mack, but instead of saying this aloud, preferred to bait the man, and said,
"Look, I know for a fact that this causes death. My uncle died because of this. He had ... what the na of the disease again...."
"Bloodrage?"
Asked the horseman
