Puzzled, trying to figure out what makes sense and what not for the past ten minutes, Woldemir found it appropriate to ask now. "I have a question. How... just how did you end up getting lost in the woods and miss two hundred years of war?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANACtEDO9hmAb
The color on Mogranius' face turned rather pale as Woldemir seeked a deeper explanation of this predicament. But yet he found the nerve to answer. "I was with Akareas, the previous Electus. We were researching more about the most unknown power to any Wizard or Witch, the mysterious powers of Teleportation."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAEr3n7DUj8C
These powers ring a bell, but just to be sure Woldemir asked. "Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I've been told, teleportation is where you disappear into thin air and appear somewhere else."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAduEmWDIJ0Z
Nodding in agreement as he thought through some other points, Mogranius clumsily replied. "Yes yes, you've heard."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjV5lYUulcv
"How does it equal to you skipping two hundred years?" Scratching his head, Woldemir couldn't comprehend this theory.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHArvdxA5
What Mogranius is basically referring to is teleportation and above that, he is talking about Time Travel as well. Teleportation is a blur to most, explained as a fairy tale but considered as a magical power that every Electus should have. While Time Travel isn't even one of the 8 powers. The theory keeps getting crazier by the second.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAlIcwVuvpql
Thankfully Mogranius is willing to shed more light through this mountain of confusing darkness. "See, before I found myself in these woods, we were tipped off by an adventurer that a book about teleportation is deep down an underground dungeon."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAiRu2oL9A93
Instantly seeing this as a bad start, Woldemir couldn't help asking. "And you believed him? Adventurers are full of malarkey, they robbed so many rich men for elixirs that apparently grant immortality."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAcN7JKV8Aio
Shouting his sentences, his neck hair up thanks to recalling the scene, Mogranius butchered. "Oh an Adventurer tricking us became the least of our concern, although he didn't lie about the book!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAySzDOlbUmQ
"So I'm assuming something went wrong?" Asked Woldemir, he figured out a bit where this is going.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAask57Re5eu
"It did!" He yelled again and continued. "Right after we found the book, managing to read a few pages of it too. But the dungeon was abandoned a couple of centuries ago, it didn't take long for a disaster to follow."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAUNfXkv8JY7
His attention given entirely towards the storyteller, Woldemir asked with his eyes wide open. "What happened?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAyU6FOkJaGh
"Out of nowhere, part of the dungeon collapsed." Mogranius shouted once more and raised his arms towards the sky to add a little drama.
319Please respect copyright.PENANApR9SZDL5TS
"So that's how you got here? Did the dungeon kill you or...?" Asked Woldemir while still having it hard to put two and two together.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAJxxRjZdQdP
Time Travel doesn't link here and he is getting convinced that Mogranius is a ghost, well Chapels would describe anything unusual as demonic or paranormal so why not aye?
319Please respect copyright.PENANACcCkEoLEJC
A bit pissed, Mogranius added. "You would have known if you stopped interrupting my story!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAwSPgMGkW8v
"But I didn't..." Woldemir tried to speak but got interrupted, ironic ha?
319Please respect copyright.PENANAgepqsGPeTy
Becoming a bit of a drama queen, Mogranius explained. "I was exactly at the area where the dungeon collapsed. A second before large boulders and dirt were about to crush the soul out of me, Akareas casted a teleportation spell on me. That might explain how I got here."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAQZywn4CGq5
Now continuing to be confused, but also shocked, Woldemir pointed out a little fact. "But didn't you say that she didn't know anything about Teleportation Powers?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGILQsljL2s
"That could be the reason why I am here now, that's my best theory. I don't know what else to think." The situation is complex, it is a drag when you put an all powerful Electus behind an unknown spell.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAustyOmnNO8
Since books became the topic again, Woldemir pitched. "My best advice would be to look for that special book in the Crutal Castle, maybe Akareas took it with her since she clearly survived that Dungeon collapse."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYlNaPQQ46D
His eyes sparkling with hope, Mogranius looked at Woldemir as if he fell in love and expressed. "And with Eric as the Electus, surely I can teleport back in time somehow?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAeiI07btu2z
"It is settled then, we will try to find that book." Woldemir smiled, but wanted to end that topic as well. He pointed forward and said, "Look where we have arrived!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAmo09jYddA5
The second Mogranius looks forward, he sees the big and beautiful Crutal Town after hours and hours of travelling, they even had to stop and set up camp last night for the sake of not collapsing.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjSJKmo5vhv
His mouth remains open for a little while, he is amazed to see his home again and we can't deprive you of the fact that Crutal Town is majestically beautiful.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAMN3wrK7FqN
There are roots of plants spreading out everywhere, each stretching several meters through thick stone walls and colorful flowers blooming on those roots as well.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAU6EcGPJugU
The Town is large itself as well, from one end to the other it surely held around five hundred houses. Most of the houses weren't exactly small either, it is indeed the wealthiest Town in [Country] Occidentis Ignis.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAY49YAPZvTo
A tear dropping from his left eye, surfing down his cheek before it met the ground, Mogranius stuttered. "So much has changed, yet it changed in a good way. This place looks more beautiful than ever."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAHzF1db04bg
Accidentally ruining his moment with the Town, Woldemir agreed. "I agree it is beautiful, this race has a fancy about decorating buildings or anything in general with plants. Most likely supported from the money that they force out of our race though."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAuvopclE0Ob
Mogranius isn't in the best emotional position to talk, so Woldemir used this opportunity to get some things straight. "From this point, you have to be careful of what you say and do. The illustratios have a thing about throwing fines over Ignites for ridiculous reasons."
319Please respect copyright.PENANA62JLITNZgL
Raising an eyebrow, curiosity overwhelming. Mogranius asked, "What sort of reasons?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAKF5ZybFIkB
Trying to define stupidity, Woldemir shared a little case of his own. "Last summer I got fined for reading a book that wasn't about the illustratio, the finnes are outrageous as well."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAqk5NapPZnz
"I knew illustratios weren't particularly bright, but this tips the bucket." You can't blame the old man here, who in their right mind would fine you for reading a book?
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGlaqlaBoGc
"They are more brutal than they are stupid, If you can't pay the fines they'll throw you in the dungeon and beat you until your back is softer than your stomach." Woldemir lifted part of his shirt from behind, showing the scars that didn't disappear for over a year.
319Please respect copyright.PENANA3pftonvUh5
As they approached Crutal Town closer and they reached the main gate, they immediately got approached by a couple of illustratio gatekeepers.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Gm6cjqKQ
Truly devilish looking characters, not literally though. Their skin color doesn't look like a typical stereotyped devil.
319Please respect copyright.PENANASQfA7JTTFl
Their skin color is green and one other eye catching feature are their blood veins. From head to toe their veins are covered with a darker shade of green and a light dark shade of red as well here and there.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAy5kMilzain
But most of the blood vein color running through their body is green.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAHLjCZYjX8I
Their eyes are the most devil like part about them, they have these freakish completely red eyes! Difficult to look at without getting uncomfortable especially if one is yelling at you.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGSwBXn6ZbX
These gatekeepers have fairly long hair too, much like every other race in these medieval times but theirs is green in colour. These body features however weren't nearly enough devil like compared to their tongue and behaviour.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAXOkwNsgxGL
As soon as the Gatekeepers approached the Wagon, one of them pulls out a longsword and turned towards Mogranius, shouting. "State your business here you diseased devilish Ignite or my sword will be meeting your neck."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAPIuzromfgI
Before Mogranius utters a single word, Woldemir jumps in the conversation and shouts. "Do not hurt him, he is my cousin. He comes from the other side of our Country [Occidentis Ignis]."
319Please respect copyright.PENANA04pzAzvHAl
The other gate keeper replies with, "Oh so basically he is a worthless rag from Gaster Town?"
