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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNWqs5W7xI

“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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeCkUyqhg1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIiANVz3KY
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbMZqXOncH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIlhobTtu3
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJeFgFEKTn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeRRnLE2oT
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87hdImCWn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyscpC4nx
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsSh1otFVD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVcabm5SvL
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYnDMyVpzz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAK7ZDns8R
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0grMS1rt1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEVPx75f62
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0wUrlZuVu
“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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DI8euUC2L

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gBdfCmqpI
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQREDgYFyQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexhOve3eVu
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK0rpplwVj
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYJY4KI2N
"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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZtmrZA17
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm0qrubapL
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxGeV9kWmc

We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdlrsUCNvy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqyX27N8Uk
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IjkwyFE8l
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM2fNmlmY4
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gZZz0O8Q5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXFuA21jtq
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUzpB7Frrn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKrzO4BCIR
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAc9AJQoOm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU05IUNndu
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 forcibly369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsQSavBvU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SUzjOhK3Q
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzFEofwadi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwcyISrNP5
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6bHH97Rrm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMeXjFSdL
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXyRFwcTD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tHavcEgjh
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTN8dihY5y
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxTsvPUA0L
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGFozQPMkc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs8mMYi65Q
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuUtEwqUJy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhvX4wuWPb
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lYGQvhAPa
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC2udQnzSc
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91l0uCaZu0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ1wb5HlHx
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGzEv9Bb3R
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhG5GbFdIb
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzwHm0ApR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTdyHmWxRi
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBJEHWWUR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhdgq2WdJj
“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 sarcasm369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzFEZDYQPE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbvUsu87uF
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8egaoeSFq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHfq322Nsc
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWimm1SUxSC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgausnbczLb
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILGnw5oOb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzqDWWY771
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rl2f9w56x
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPN6RFCAGU
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwawGxyrhKQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirmUiZ4ZUg
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP4TuDAgPx
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUr23CQGZ

“What was that lad?” Warzheil says in wonder “I thought I was seeing things earlier but I got to ask, how did you do that?”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3erfVtSzN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg0KHpDbCS
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfAaqOTzjI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4LpQJRQmp
“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 ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIOOjq9xeb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySmAfJgoyy
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62C3AikgLn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgN3R7Dzc
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLgZoDfcY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXmr7hIJfZ
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZ73bRfJK
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfFkv61EaB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHVBwexah
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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIyWy4hnfp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYlEqd4gce
“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."
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFF32tso48
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nmMZW9W3
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTewS9fgu3
“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 ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrnsd4fcB0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMb222HpQY
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbgeEjuD5r
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG05BiUZ0E
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD6SqWpkaq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7qaQdRjI1
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZCCfeblHz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI6Js7VEEq
“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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVC3OBbALZ
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuuYlG4UGY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03eU5b5Xp
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00BWD8hjZ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMHdJT48gG
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozjmWAQobp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZzWPiAbVG
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEAJbduxHp
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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi77ZQjT4U3
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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIJWA0tZQ
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvRm6NHpT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu48MNbvUV
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnWT6hwle
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQILhcEolB
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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34l3HeUzQj
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYQDuWkfp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ185pI1jNzT
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr3jMIWkM1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE7PIJjUMu
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgltqw61jo
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfViyBUAVN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJhklkD9KJ
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04U4YKij8p
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhgXsC1XTt
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1K7TtJnV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbQEJHxxTR
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnyw1M0iWe
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsakqURANT
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDrJJAfhgy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmdUIjbrY
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuoOWUb5gX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO629B4saEG
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KkbnBoSPX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I68FOHzbs
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8NbUbqJ47
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nt56AuqrX
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJdz09682Z
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2CuDddMc3
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEaxjeLbJs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxKw794ACm
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLTWthtEeq
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBI1S6Lt4
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFAXbBQd1Z
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWQXAJJMB
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF2ueuyiX8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuMu6lVB0i
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOBc1SBOxW
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PCS0UPmm
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9kC9fcFGV
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp68FxcAp4d
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjC1oYmKtV
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEtLZjByfd

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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmny4wn78kz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY0Sa1Ice9
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeW9mhvUTG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Vnvr0ehU
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM7amdBvNt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mCKTLzVqC
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRRAP7gIMU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SyJjAWTfn
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdrTyGQmG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMlSQWDUC
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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG2WyzLmw8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHgNoGfMzD
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHa1go9PH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrtaaL0jlf
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7gk8hkwB2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ec2AgktJm
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmDgkMjXG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiW7VUWMmD
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfzaywYVrI

“Don’t know.” I say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmwwDpk362

“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfYzp2q95q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaPnbAA68
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kad6dy3it
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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJKM4IJek
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTlH9zcDgc
“What about diamonds?” I asked369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuGDI2z9X
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOT1EKfVws
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgiSQI6iI4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZxyN2iZXj
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleo5KZtfBd

I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZjrKwHlxV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRig8nvawz
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOE23EHo2a
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPdo0aD7An
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7mK7C3By
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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuCLVS78e
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLIgkUY7Yu
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWVhUDcvNJ
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSobXyGKh
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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf599JaKsi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aIUzGcas2
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo3NHbBHJA
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. 369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBFmFKFaEQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHrglCqXBq
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hGeBji6B

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYtRZHUAGy
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3G3Bd8T7c
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOnVQWvzw
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7PdGvejdt
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2ROwBT3D
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmMalg0Nta
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREzaBmFH0V

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3FMHYCWH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSRydCp60x
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH2CmIzkvh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSec7alkjUA
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m8Pzwi6wi

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLZsbfbPHy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7phHv8c9M
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz3UsrI6sC

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQZLFrurqc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HuEjg9hHk
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc9KQCpdUU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE3IUGD6X6
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIP2NCYQkd

“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 ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJTAq9XRXH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZWuZrfxT
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEvPIo2zHe

“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnN0Srm4Ps

“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 say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9vi8Clr8t
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UGctmxzTw
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qUZytDSav
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zsQpZfGTR
“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 say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjUWT81g4M

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiTMESjjd4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTovzNpAV4
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajOT9ykSg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8TnjRifPW
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaoWTh54us
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx6ixgSfB2
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuwhz1vQ2W
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnvK4ScKG
“Why?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0zciWat3D
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WHGhogSli
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTafYpWPYwc

“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYKYishLpo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBNpdrdJCb
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2oWis90tB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDgZQ7a27
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqikOqxfYY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFuxmd7sml
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 thinks369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX0mwEtRk8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15j5unDsPJ
“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 slightest369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRmbGUWnfK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8EBxcsMZB
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHKaPrXof
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQif6jN75
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCHuYpTQFE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqYrMWiEl
“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 say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ohi1aODTd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCdPT4xj9
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2FSDIo6WL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOCodqXEa
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1yEW5QGBB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCR3kTrmBG
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCmWsGSInQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUAA6cEdxL
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjP3oaaFnB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWcorZtsgc
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTZMFmnLC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVY79ETKFj
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbF0cKLoLH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AL74KBXBG
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBR9V2cDcu
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0I063bE0w
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ74IbiJe4u
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnwmoLTty4
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkKnv3R22
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOJa1hXnz
“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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLW8CIPRsB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSixMSrQum
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWEPJrFrJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4isgLIeRCr
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwJcXeJBJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYG57bhc95
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSNcIfIGB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BevycwJ0r
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWKPJmU15Q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL4Wanlj89
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQzxnMhNBS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9103EQTKa
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6pqtgRHkG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGhuVPbx0s
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis8b16K57D
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GuIayXFq8
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMjsktrR7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UoSjJCrLZ
“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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpqJ2xIZG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R9ygJ9UhO
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVdPPu0y3s
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEGc3HyWUH
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySfErDe9PT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ul9fTd6F
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfuMcDfAbT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JvRq0vcbO
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWeztofXX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpqdRc6w63
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPh8DKjLjA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkVs5KI3lj
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBIh4u8Yb0
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcTzTh2CCD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbU11NpFGk
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki8MkAFOlI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z5PHzYA1h
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYzqIpNO82
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8IhPOJeXh
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Kq7IKu3u
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriwJc1jRCw
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvezF4N3K
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOru0i8DyDI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qAsrxpRVt
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlXWPOoGf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapkiXbdHCF
“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 says369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRzpq2Ra8s
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rRV5vIh8
“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.”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKEFKlqKHT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9auy9frke
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0LFMYRg1q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1nNZMSA9
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcRxqmD6we
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQh3zW7EF
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglWPgpHwEY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDpqxxUrZV
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvt2KT2rH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm6Lj6jUBy
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—”369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3xXTnoSq1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvodQXQD9R2
“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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZwkw8Clsz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkORImJCC
“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 flex369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRtsjZJU1N
