7th of September 5565, Northern Dirakio, close to the Jelbic Border
Leo had done this before. Several times. But never before had it been this much. He was sweating. "It's just the weather" he told himself
"The weather and maybe these damn GMO-tobacco cigarettes. Theres no reason to be nervous"
Leo's car was closing in on the border post. A grey Urso Vagisto, typical lower to middle class family car in Zardugal. "Nothing out of the ordinary." Leo thought "Except for the backseats filled to the brim with sewn in Diatusin of course" He couldn't supress a pained smile. Only five more cars. The Vanukean guards waved the people through for the most part, sometimes looking at the drivers with a grim facial expression, arms crossed sitting on their horses. Four more cars, three- one of the horses started defacating while it's rider tried his best to look intimidating "An image for the gods" Leo whispered to himself slightly relieved. Two cars- the border guards now actually stopped the driver, and started talking to each other. Leo had seen this before. They were going to change the guard. A new patrol approached the border post. Four slightly annoyed looking uniformed men on horseback and "Dogs?!" Leo gasped with his eyes wide open. This was new. They must have smelt a rat since his last visit to Vanuku. The border controls proceeded. Dog's did not react. Only one more car in front of him, a million behind him, concrete barricades to his left and right. The car in front of him drove away. Leo froze, not being able to react to the guards order to move forward. They approached him with the dogs, already barking -"The fucking window" he thought. He had left it open since he smoked his last cigarette.
"Eliru el la aŭto. Tuj!" he heard one of the guards screaming in broken Zardic. What happened next felt like a fast forwarded movie to him. Next thing he remembered was him standing outside the car in handcuffs. One of the guards drew his sabre. A swift cut, white powder drizzling out of the back bench. The guard turned around and screamed what Leo thought to be orders.
