We finally open our eyes as the bright light looses its effect. The curtains start coming down. But stop before fully coming down it looses its power.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLisGwCErt

“Come on Ronin” Warzheil says as he gets on my back again “We need to get off this bridge. Before both the colossus collapse under the bridge.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdVwhRhx0I
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa4CdPZ59Y
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpkCVl1eTM
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRROD2ypas
“I will tell you on the way, we still have some way to go before we get off this bridge” he replies when suddenly the bridge trembles and a booming sound resonates in the surrounding.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgOQBZsGVB
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVt5UYGee1
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo2po6U1Mo
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoQ91H0OmV
“Fine, why are you getting so restless?. Although even I know a booming sound so loud and the bridge trembling can never be good.” I say as I have an Idea of what’s happening.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWEehoF0zO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2iKwZEslj
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQAPj1OmyS
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg0u6LS5pn
“That saves me a lot of explanation lad, yes, now listen closely, there are 2 to 4 colossi under that bridge, giant and more sturdier versions of Dratnir soldiers. They are the redeemers of the bridge.” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfnxg2YPkd
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaEORrO969
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSsXGeqVg9
“Hmm” he gives back a short grunts as an approval “Normally, if someone succeeds in destroying the 4 Dratnir Soldiers on the bridge, which have weakened over time, the colossus under the bridge will awaken and track the one who destroyed them and hunt them, destroying the bridge in the process.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bYVd6eloa

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Abkmr9mux
“I would not sleep for days if something that big came for me. Wait don’t tell me that it’s going to chase us!” I ask in a voice full of fear, although that’s highly unlikely, but I don’t want to die just yet.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ9ddJWZoE
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjGwbTxqiW
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MLPIQ7YpC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo6PWqAH6k
"Bridges are sacred, lad. No one's dumb enough to break them. Unless you’ve got wings, a warship, or a death wish, you’re not crossing these rivers. Although boats are only a one way travel.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW0qQq5RcC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLJNJdAl2
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUDfVUyLuF

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33CQI8Idvh
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwJBjnJHpa
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVyVdCNW9
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIE1gxwJat

“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAjRrx7kJr
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kbKrI6WKM
“You going to eat food or answer the nature’s call? Do one at a time, Well now that you mention it, I also need to take a break, but first lets set up camp.” I say on which Warzheil agrees.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn6gEjmgZz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dxv1tnmHj
We both get off the bridge and a few minutes after we witness such a massive bridge get swept by the fast flow of the Kobe river. The walls on its borders breaking, even though we are almost 2 kilometres away from the other end of the bridge I can still see it, the dine pavement age against test of time twist as the structure under it is swept away forcibly150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiefUpMIVw

“First we need to do something about Drax. We can’t just take him with us, from this point forth it’s the demon lord’s area. And my forge is also there.” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nynsdt1bn
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUW0Pzr7D
“How about we cremate him? Although on Earth, that is supposed to be the child’s right,” I suggest.
“Yes, Drax has a daughter. And although this is supposed to be a secret only I and Drax knew, since you are his god, I will let you in on it.” he replies.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppOnHhUUtb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfhLvvdgY
“What Secret? Spill it, I am not the one for cliffhangers.” I say very much interested in secret of his, expecting to get some wisdom that will help me to move forward in this world.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWYUXI06J5

Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhWzLSfdOb

Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRyJP4GOMc
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dLw0nWTcb
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhohnxaaXE

“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5D1Cf54Vm

“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWeBzLRuIK
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGhBDipVG3
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3bNJPznU9
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5MMdurGn9
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5r8XX39K2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyxFogQ2I
“Someone told me not too long ago that she had more pressing matters than to accept my request, a mortal’s request.” I say with sarcasm150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPrdF0z6v
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1N8jB76Po
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeOd9BUjPX
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMGv919QEo
“Goddess Ethis here fell in love with Drax. They named their child Gloria and I was there, it was a secret affair that only few knew, including Zamaba.” Warzheil says but the goddess doesn’t looks pleased.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpBmvtpZA
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYLj66TIZ6
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxEcU4FnpU
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsByQMuqcja
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PLOtZhba
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoYy8YSfPm
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel4n5ZOIun
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcgEqFu7nH
I can’t just let the Dwarf die. The divine spear hiss through the air, heat radiating like a dying star. The unseen barrier around me flared in the slightest, devouring its glow before it completely vanishes just like it appeared from Ethis’ hand.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAl95NiD0I

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrKWxpg9Wm
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKH0nttIcy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa56UruDn8
“Calm down both of you, Ethis, I did not expect gods to have such lack of patience, and Oldman, stop pushing your luck. What are you both? Enemies?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2g94cdWBb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a6PEQkqvO
“You don’t know anything yet, lad, she was watching! She saw that Drax was weak, and instead of trying to save her husband, she just watched! How can I ever forgive her!” he yells at Ethis.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh3CLLwGi2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEd21QWYb0
The very air trembles as Ethis opposes with her voice going from low to a loud one, stirring the very wind and the ground trembles as the pebbles jump.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV0jGwKhIC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0bW2IlifU
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg7xPBgmdj
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaffZqLKHML
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjMsuFxRb0
Ethis clenched her fists. "You think I didn’t try?" Her voice wavered, barely above a whisper. "I… I did. But I was bound. Chained by the King of the Heavens.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuTEW95Y0f
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXy8RqlvP
“He had plotted with Zamba, and by aiding him from the shadows, he got rid of the greatest threat to his throne. And I could do was watch."
Ethis’ voice wavered, strained as if she were holding back tears. A cold wind swept through the clearing, rustling the trees like whispered judgment. She lowered her gaze, her fists clenching so tightly her knuckles turned white.
"I... I couldn’t do anything."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy62DgeKvr
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHESCbIIK
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcyVgKP5fp
“That’s some seriously messed-up family dynamics,” I say “A daughter not knowing her mother, a father that believed in some god even though he is one and that too faith in someone who might not even exist, and a mother and wife who is bound by world’s laws while her husband wasn’t?, and above all, gods who sound like they would come crying out of the skies if I started roasting them.” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AM9JeVfnP
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3xh8ANphJ
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeXLEoIucC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DV7aa9guD
“Drax was a mortal, hundreds of thousands of years ago. He achieved godhood by his devotion to the god he believed in so that god cannot be fake.” Ethis says.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncy3OwsUsk
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASYidpAIZN
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu7kFWsjnh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YCAZLkuVY
“I cannot answer that further, I have their eyes on me now. All I ask is the right to cremate my husband and see him off one last time.” She says turning to me.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi86cvJGDa
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pbYiI30L

“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3O9tOI8H
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7srcTkua5
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrega06j6g
We decide to cremate Drax’s body in a secluded place, I could see many bright energies leaving the skeleton of this dead god who considered me his god, the simple place around him becomes full of flora as the skeleton turns into ashes.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtdcCMDruO
Carefully, we gather the ashes and place them in a cloth, Ethis tries to take it but Warzheil snatches and stows it in his small space pocket.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ffVT0cXK
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Tukru94o
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIxFH6bMg
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPpCZao7kD
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWBUGtyuix
There was nothing left to say. We set up camp in silence, the river’s roar the only sound between us. Then, the old dwarf stood up, rubbing his gut.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKeTsF1Ke
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0CvU2OUbH
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckC8WuCRHz
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfH54ld1XG
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOaVFgzunK
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7bobZudTk
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbK9HCg9qM
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF602QitEfn
Minutes pass as I grow more and more concerned, Warzheil isn’t back. I was about to get up to find him but I notice the trees shake as it something was coming out of it, so I ready my spear, but instead Warzheil comes running.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlMVak4qpc
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6pp24eg11
“You sure took your time!” I shout but he doesn’t look very happy as right behind him, a giant T-rex tears through the forest into the clearing near the shore of the river.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA08B0iciW
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkPMUI8YRi
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPGWGX0zfD
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65EV5aDUat
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwihh1FYor
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHbBQZ5m2v
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkA1QjORpL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQezcsKXOsB
I almost burst into a laugh at Warzheil, but I try to control it and throw my spear, this time with its plasma tip on. It did little as it deflects from the armour around its eye, its smart, it knew where I would aim and dodged it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ZypiYswO
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ811Tc51F3N
It's eyes glow as it makes a sound as if a giant eagle was trying to compete with a lion’s roar, my ears feel itchy from its sound.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJ7g8nqCx
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhVexq2EL1
Suddenly the ground erupts as a pillar made of soil hits me, I imagined I would go flying but instead end up staggering. Surprisingly I don’t feel much impact from it, in fact I left a big dents on the place I stomped.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0RNgjImt
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90oOxOa07W
Seeing such progressions in my strength I feel compelled to try out my power, so I sprint, and the beast takes notice of me, trying to stomp me as I try to get my spear back, but it fails, I take the spear and try cutting through it but the heat is not enough to cleave its flesh deeply.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwItxoqEtqp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09o1M4I54q
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9gH9XXDIr
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvRX6mGJY2
I use the chance go for its eye again. Using my agility I climb the giant beast and impale its left eye. The plasma spear does its job as fire erupts from its eye and the beast is felled.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2NuYxw7I
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsugZKPdqB
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbJfZY3M93

“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SOaZzRCyA
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoKu2Upcb6
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUB5V85by
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0vE2X1mRb

I prepare the fire again which was extinguished by the T-rex’s movements “Now you know I wasn’t lying when I said I am old.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHH6gGEQPb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8uyXpXgVS
I had already prepared the space by making it’s ground soft using my spear’s knob and also set up the fire using its plasma, But Warzheil takes out a small tent-like thing form his pocket.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77OOdvs5j
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqeZGaMIaD
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkqpG0N0DJ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfb33Jxms3
“You might not know it, but these pockets are so rare I could make a pair of hammers out of the metals I would get out of selling even one of these” He says almost flexing something I don’t understand.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvS2NNXPSF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq59b4LK52k
“You do realise I have no idea of how that’s supposed to tell me its worth right? Don’t you guys trade with gold?” I ask giving him a stare.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflHtNKxxPt
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qcPWNcwAj
Warzheil let out a long sigh. “Listen up, lad. Gold’s everywhere in these lands—so common it’s barely worth the trouble to pick up. If you spent a few hours panning the Kobe river, you’d fill a bottle with gold flakes. That’s why nobody bothers trading with it.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1hbInL4s
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ny4UrCuLa
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdec9BkLLd

“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2giGc4VGZ

Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqpVJzwV4Z
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcABmnbcDPp
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT3o6yisTl

“Don’t know.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIFFCCzCKG

“Anyway, these are called Globets, they are the main currency used in kingdoms and the cities and towns near it. I have only 3 of these, 1 of these can buy you a 5 acre farmland.” He says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzQryKDtcC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjfdsLSQ8
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCXx1XEMzI
He scratched his beard, voice growing more animated as he warmed to his favorite subject. “Platinum’s where proper trade starts. Silver’s rarer still. But the real wealth? That’s kept in the Commerce Guild vaults—Adamantium, Orichalcum, Uru. The kind of metals you’d expect to find only in legends. Most folk will never even get to touch them.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEUCDwqI8g
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeBMDuPAPc
“What about diamonds?” I asked150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLBLro5l3H
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQMQHg3V8y
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBf8Rnindp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBMuLgcwl7
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHExhsl6I3

I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdJub5H7S
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEixbbrwL
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyISMtuHT4v
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsznRfoPvw
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix2XwoB2HT
Warzheil sniffed the air around the spear as his I saw mana swirl around it, his eyes narrowing. “We call this metal Collosium I can smell tell by its mana conductivity and smell. This is a fine weapon. I don’t think you should sell it.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOxNBKVKV
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIpQ0lmzU1
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN3ayY2EtO
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhIsQeaykC
He waved a hand. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, trinkets, mage staves. They’re everywhere in the wilds—no one trades for them.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CJ8A5ugLM
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlPpTpD9gu
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEKjIapgyF
According to what I understand, in this world, main currency is Globet, found in dungeons or traded on toll plaza of the Dratnir Bridges in exchange for metals, Gold’s is as common as dirt—Kobe river’s full of it. Platinum, Silver and titanium are used for smaller trades while Adamantium, Orichalcum, and Uru are used for bigger trades within the nation or to make equipment and other things. Most folk never see those metals in a lifetime. 150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGLvUCx3K
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfs7C2zJl1
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSvDo902gN

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Fy2M57GO
I remember about the book I found in the forest when I woke up and search for it but can’t find it so I ask Warzheil about it, thankfully he saw it coming out of my torn suit when I was asleep on other side of the river so he hands me the book with a curious look, but suppresses the urge to ask about it.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos5AKst0cv

I open the book to distract myself and this time it lets me open new pages, and it seems like I have missed some of its page.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtAU3DJuUH
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrrcWjYh9p
I read it for a while and realise that it’s the outline of my journey so far, to clear my suspicion I turn another page but the blur effect occurs again, I sense it more clearly now, but this time instead of going back to the previous page again, some text appears on the page.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtxQl29JG5
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwfuL7kZGq
“The night fall will deem the owl worthy, its prey will have no path to escape, but the night houses many threats, beware beyonder.” Is what the text says on the book.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2KNIg4blb
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRlNBrDHdb
I rub my eyes as I turn the book into a head rest and sleep, I don’t have the mood to translate some encrypted riddle. Maybe my Sanskrit has dulled over time. What does owl have to do with being worth of night.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZZO0GrqB

The next sun rises, Warzheil tries to wake me up, but I feel like a sloth, and in my laziness half of that day pass, heat on its peak as the sun hangs high in the sky, I finally wake up from sweating. I may need to find a place to take a bath soon.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye8rkXimDL
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngW6Q9Bwu3
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEz4KQiVsw

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz5C8T53JR
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH9Bs3ewd4
“The plan to get into my forge, that’s what you missed.” He says as he hits on a very good looking Talwar on his makeshift force area. But then he cools down the sword and puts out the fire by pouring water in it from a bucket near him. The fire makes a hissing sound as it dies.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkLyqVqMsT
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB60YsQXWOY
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRVng7gMp

“I can’t believe it no matter how many times I see it, no wonder it’s so expensive. How about you sell one of those and make me a dark Uru weapon too?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjRKtiGxVZ
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmwggiIBCM
“You should quite talking small when you are in presence of THE legendary blacksmith, lad. How do you think I got to know Drax? I am the best blacksmith of this era. Drax also had to admit when he lost to me in weapon forging duel. I have 7 ingots of Dark Uru ingots, dozens of Uru and few hundreds of orichalcum and adamantium ingots in my forge. I may look like a smelly old dwarf but I can buy kingdoms if I want to.” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjFPCu2wwp

“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qd9ImAzhh

“You are boring you know that, Lad, At least act to be excited. I worked my ass of to get them. Don’t you want to be rich? If it were someone else they would be out for my blood right now” Warzheil says in a plain voice too as he unfolds a big map.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvp3HUiqL3
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIIXZiL9hH
“Don’t get me wrong, I have always liked money, it makes life much easier. Maybe I should earn lot of money and then retire somewhere peaceful? But you and I both know I can’t, not right now at least. I have 2 contracts to fulfil, one is Geolard’s and another is Drax’s.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2avIs37e7
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3LzOCdU52
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuOADE6h3N
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJdVDsMBR7
“Nice try, Oldman, but you don’t know me enough just yet, I wouldn’t be THE legendary Hitman on Earth if I succumbed to greed. Smart people die winning, wise are those who win against life’s baffling choices.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBclIIFSce

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C520FX4CT
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40vbB5HI2
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKpuBN8xjV
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFU43QEQqL
“We are now in the southern Kobe Forest, where the Demon Lord have Goblins as their allied forces.” He says sliding his finger to the right of the map across the sketch of the river into another forest on the other side of the map and stops his finger on some kind of hammer and anvil that is drawn over the map manually.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChuJpLwlgF
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oEPg53amo
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem6osBFQjN
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHg0udbW6
“Why?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqgz5biaDm
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWg8iPGPOk
“That’s what they are, wandering tribes of ever polluting green shits. The demon lord wanted me to work under him to make weapons for his generals and armies, but thanks to Drax’s letter I prepared to leave just when the goblins started their capture on my forge, maybe he knew it was going to happen so he sent me the letter on the right time. But I ended up screwing up big time and the goblins chased me for days.” Warzheil explains.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFvvEOIVmr

“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxnWRvfMPf
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZp5NzS8GT
“You said you were an assassin didn’t you? Make a plan, Unless you suggest going with me, head-on against hundreds of goblins, mage goblins, hob goblins, champions and their King. Who knows, maybe even the lich is there.” He says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zhyz3t04
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyqa8g3yBl
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjOVZeojDU
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo90vKopvq4
The lich sees Ronin and Warzheil “I feel like ripping the very flesh off their face, but that damned Dratnir soldier was Insanely strong, so much so that it destroyed my army, even wounding my mana core with his light and cosmic attacks, I tried to claim it as my own minion, it exploded, I am in no shape to fight these two monster, especially this Dwarf, he is cunning fox, hiding his powers of lighting authority.” Lich thinks150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB7r2xYL3p
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQcMLKxvyN
“I must alert the goblins of their arrival.” As he passes near ronin and Warzheil he gives them a menacing look. Which doesn’t bother them in the slightest150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxzSWl8Byt
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIERZyEDMJ
“Hey, Bone head, what happened to all that confidence? Fear we may kick your ass without the help of your army huh? Or did that Dratnir Soldier do it for us?” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qghkN4uCn
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupcONucRs
“It won’t be long before your head hangs on my dragon’s tail, mortals, we will meet soon.” The lich replies in a domineering voice, but we both know he is just scared.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyPvNscWh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3OHChUrUe
“The Dratnir must have given him a run for his money, I guess he had to abandon his army on the bridge to find a wyvern in the forest to fly all the way back here.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwtEzIU1Gl
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwYBqoWOdi
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetqop15IG
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UEKjbIHkJ
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneE9Mv3nBp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWEBdJZNto
“Shit!, he is going to alert those green vessels of filth.” Warzheil says with impatience evident in his expressions as his eyebrows curl inward, tensed.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kFf3D42r0
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2W8OBcajX
“Do you have any other way we can get inside the forge?” I ask Warzheil
“The owl… the owl is worthy of night.” I say as a though drifts into my mind. Maybe that riddle has something to do with our next step.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fTLP4WWsp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1qTD4nv5Y
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCUJ40jq4H
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5bRXZOVoK
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDARP5lkfC4
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn1ak2Lowp
“See here” I slide my finger over the text “The night fall will deem the owl worthy--its prey will have no path to escape--but the night houses many threats--beware beyonder” I say which confuses Warzheil.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn4IfXm2zw
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUfmpPMmZ
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmV0UY0MOe
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQEqsZDfY2
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9nycZKeDm
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2kg0vtElX
“That’s great…now” I slide my finger further on the text in the page “The night houses threats--beware beyonder. Which means it’s referring to me, as I am beyond this world. And the night houses threats, which means that even though night is our chance to strike, it might still be risky.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7ItdH3wm
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD4Qyf3jCp
“W-wait, I don’t understand. What you say makes some sense but, why are you sliding your finger on an empty page? Is this a habit of yours I should be aware of?” Warzheil says, which turns my excited expression to a confused expression.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYdnK6sDbX
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFMQ5vnRQT
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQkyNFrn5r
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRWyEKX2L
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEQTlTZjx
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EvWlukrwL
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN45PRxgpnh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUoRVPtRkg
“There is a secret passage under my forge” Warzheil continues “Its gates are made of adamantium, it can only be unlocked from inside. but I think your spear can melt it in a few minutes, we can carve a way in. but we need to start now as at night your blade will be visible.” Warzheil says.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSDT1byYvB
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgqvcLQzuh
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjy8MZqcj4
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzAK2OKzXj
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JWqAsztrG
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhT9Zuovs9
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4YtskrtKG
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e6LQUKQLn
“It’s your loss if you don’t want that stuff, I have a strong feeling that we will not be going our own ways anytime soon.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0G6lvvVy
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0tnknSly8
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RjHYp8JE4
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86gU5ZwxxV
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI44SUtbsbS
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTNNqx5kY
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGok1XhztYP
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QE0YbqkQT
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZYn1OK0tz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KLd2G1Wf
My eye is very convenient, although it feels very uncomfortable seeing things I don’t want to, the wobbly energies in the air makes me feel nauseous, but I need to get used to it soon. I can see the outlines of everything in my line of sight even in this fog. I was seeing normally when we were not in the forest, which must mean I only see different according to situations and see mana when it is dense or unless I want to see it. I don’t understand how this even works but as long it keeps me alive, its an ability.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtdtsvpU5R

Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVXCbq1Mn
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0rnlTwmC
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8c4KHt0a1
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fjEI6BCMh
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeYgAg9jt8
“That’s reassuring….hmm” I say but I make a questioning face as I think about possible scenarios where the plan can break down, or succeed. Thank fully Warzheil also had a map of his forge so I have a raw Idea of what I can do once we are in. spear won’t be an option in there.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA5h0M7jN2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzOogdSPB5
We talk amidst the guttural voices of goblin-kind carrying faintly through the air. Fires burn in large pits outside, with goblins working tirelessly on crude weapons and Armor.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeWPmaO5X9
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEi6v7fa9j
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvJvRB9mW8
But that’s not all, I see some skeletons as well, which means that they are alert now. But something feels off, the security should be tighter, then why isn’t.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS00Ks571RD
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEAjbf4tV0
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwupEFtrhE
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQuN6EMocU
“As far as I know, the demon lord’s generals don’t get along with the lich, he is like an outcast to them, even though he is the most loyal to the Demon Lord” Warzheil says150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaW7rwWcco
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnuLX7HHTk
“That must be it. I don’t see any prominent figure here. Which must mean that the king with his champions must be in an argument with the lich. I have seen this happen in my field a lot, even when I disguised myself.” I say “Even if that’s not the case, we cannot afford loosing sunlight, we need a way in by night.”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlRkJPTFx
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxTsOXKi22
“You are right. Lets go, there’s our ticket in.” He points to a large pipe beneath the forge, its bars glinting faintly in the sunlight. “It’s a water outlet I built as an escape route, but like I said, it opens only from the inside. Let’s hope your spear can cut through the bars.”
We approach the gate but suddenly I see 2 goblins coming our way so I yank Warzheil against the wall.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3xenaF8Pu
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwy7sLw1TB
Warzheil looks like he would cuss me out anytime but I signal him to keep it down. I pick up a pebble slowly and throw it in the opposite direction of the goblins over their head which distracts them.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgPePcrR5c
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcyDyowfQ
It’s a good thing that goblins are idiots. I take the chance and kill both the Goblins using my plasma spear which cuts though their tiny necks, is it me or do the spear feel small in my hands? I normally don’t miss with my spear but even back when I fought the T-rex, it felt uncomfortable. It looks like I have grown in size too.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDRJcGRmEz
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOyDUB2IQh
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BzkfOJLr2
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdPwxGgch0
I kneel by the pipe as I put the goblins near me, and activate the plasma blade of my spear. The bars are tougher than I expect, made from a mixture of copper and adamantite. It takes a few minutes to cut through them.
“Hard, isn’t it?” Warzheil says with a smirk. “I debated using adamantite for a water outlet, but it’s proven useful.”
“Just keep quiet, old man. You’ll get us caught,” I hiss as we slip into the dark, narrow tunnel.
“Don’t boss me around like my mom. Show some respect for your elders,” he retorts in a low whisper.
I roll my eyes. “Did you finally go senile?”
“You little—”150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFez2yqXSq
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QgBNchndB
“Shhh…” I cut him off as we hear faint footsteps echoing through the tunnel. We finally got in, I put the goblin’s body in the sewer water and slowly head toward the voice that’s getting louder.
Two goblins appear, their torches casting flickering shadows on the walls. Moving swiftly, I dart ahead, my spear slicing through the air. The goblins barely have time to react before they collapse, lifeless.
“You really are an assassin through and through, huh?” Warzheil asks under his breath, impressed but unnerved.150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkPlF5W04u
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqvTdfOaN7
“This is the most crude I can be as an assassin. You haven’t seen me in action just yet oldman.” I say, trying to flex150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDCL8cgPwb
