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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q4OJYgyTW

“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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLXEm28O2
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkB3C8dIEo
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRECfqqmgZv
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQGMX2ji1j
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BjJO2WD6
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0snQfEinCU
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbSOkxCgG6
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkRU0ijNEw
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGeKeUFPJa
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWziamwlUKT
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TRIV6lZ81
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F4FEVmw5O
“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZD8Y0Nf1X
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOUwRTALZJ
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrzy7KUnoc
“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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgte1cyoPhQ

“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkt7n9g6wv
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlTH7Q1y07
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2RzTLkI7

"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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uBSqv1Lt3
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkySmISa88
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeyRFz9wtt

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrLZOxYqzq
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNYaLdMc2W
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2C7wTA6OS
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwkJg5Rw7N

“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JE7va9QB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ruAhCYFY0
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICOdtwbFuE
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VrdhGwhQ
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 forcibly314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0y9Nlo2og

“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuGDFxLwNt
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOBM4xPKTv
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCv0RyNAA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXMiVhlh28
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUmoByNhC

Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNA3sQYmu
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2FmZtwbrV
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpZEi7dqw
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN5e9Ft9O7
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRAKPolxML
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxQmIXLxy
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij9VhcIefF
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZtpdTuR11
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhJ0zODPgN

We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZvM5yeCx
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b5fFP0Ps7
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrSRl5tOic
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbfU04FyV3
“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 sarcasm314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnBggNMGGE
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGSFM0wMw1
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfcSz0ujwq
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNDfAVssoP
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbekc2K9obb
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9AuWd8CY5
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXegkoujAEC
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj941s9tyn6
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlm8uR35mp
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWba4vz0VKu
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv4uymFTE7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcu9MhlmbZ
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEWtEE9Gk7

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczZ2A7HtuE
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxjn4HsARc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyovkpwe1k
“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 ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7KhxVBwM
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gAX9oxdff
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3tg0paqdZ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuKsHgyU9q
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVeD6bakOn
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEES7OL8RLH
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTn60uNBS1
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFsBsl0AJk
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFyUxD3iuw
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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3A7muvjb7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfxEMAIqfA
“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."
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0lNopdlDK
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfBPMWFVLs
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KsDYC2aFn
“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 ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzCDpLrrCz
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBGafaySI9
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRKZ26iMv
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTayhCJRta8
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVURm4maQaw
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4qK9XHxu
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq72ONyZw4
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8m0sarzy5
“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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq9MBKLo9d
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ7f9JCY6s
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1BO3Ix7y1

“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwiSMDAiM0
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmxzRtqpGD
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstI6NrCFIo
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo5s9PCvQQ
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuqbyhyaQI
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbOBQDGxHX
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JuYdc3Z8M
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSGmcZiuBH
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsw1CF8GVg
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.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXAiWYsTDT
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMtGesJdP
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VMfT8GsGc
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxvvOyit6
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcPbRDPLra
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17mveLTRrA
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvilUf9kZaM
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXb2EBcFMZ
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff6Y6O5sE4
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxb9M7CIyS
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvFK9lj0q7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA3TiHIkJG
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4REeljUDPG
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGCB9VO4kp
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4On5ZFmR
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxVKI2JiPr
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ypTzySOlB
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1flUc6tYaB
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7yCePk3o
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZSWnD2PPg
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpiEyjlcBI
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFXAFe7VWm
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoO4TLNIix
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnCXlF9J9d
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSOngExWrP
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHtdwnfX7u
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR97EiVSOwz
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5mk8PrclX
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJJt7Rons
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGFUUEpdzE
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8pwmvLnoc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbHHawN27
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UXTVxhW97
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7841YS759
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwHw7laOz8
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXvXSYQM0
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hCkEVyGsD

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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmAdtsUugr
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx10iZ4p6Gj
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhn6E7yTiQ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq194T4j0V
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ar35BdaTc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWFRCsEn8
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY43PDQjTK
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKLyLXSJUe
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iaUWIoFCN
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWt080qG54
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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSoIkTMteU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ZlPEF4Qd
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K8qlqMOfk

“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLrBqrvOLL
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu4JC7hSHk
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W9UFO9d4V
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8oC4bILli
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD4dvFBryk
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6IzXMQEs
“Don’t know.” I say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNvnA8wQe

“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7K7WA8F1
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZglhtM6B
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Gzi1PU9B
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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilGwluBM4B
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59YEyUU6p0
“What about diamonds?” I asked314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak6K9Cluxm
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuh4W1qqV7
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdySlALOZgq
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH1CobpOgb
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLfgBlcaUq

“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloAcfMLhLX

I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51HXkSuOMW
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcA1q8pBtd
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UhtenXQoZ
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9triHTKV0e
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHTqKqtZvk
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.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmDwf5ZDZc
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbAAjjVL7h
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK63hqXTpbj
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XGhxHOmpi
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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHxpJ46tj
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GF3PbnWW
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gFHxL3e54
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. 314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvRE4wrhed
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2kZ0OXz86
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3LNcb0hJR

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq8fq9K3Jh
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFBpY5eOGz

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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlQrcc3G3y
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaukEOTqB4
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEl169zAD3
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJmNboNLMz
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5rdolo8hx
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ANfiG9ERS
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8qINtAQQD

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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyzRUFYCBQ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKhOvo92sh
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ770MSXydGr

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZzjRy9NpH
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6livqMltR
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfKTVbfwTC
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJB99h5tDh

“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 ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzKrvOWwet
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQiEZQE4aq
“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EABsHTR6O

“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5mEtzF0dg

“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkH1VF6alc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JfJD5NOV1
“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 say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITSilykcJ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0h9g1A7EN
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm22b7HXDv
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkNu772D4J
“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 say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUlyx9E2mX

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZl3DkbWs
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRw4HlxO5t
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRYxfapSd6
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oyNxFeB0n
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWjnOpoXeo
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HU8T0E3O0
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OMIvOs5UH
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9JU5HQA3I
“Why?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3Sv0d8B2
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEaxdTQg8S
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghkA67JNM6

“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJRiQ2ElaI
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgB9XBaxPP
“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r9mLeVrcU
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbus0NmXqIV
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXVt8AKbRf
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyZE0SLsfb
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 thinks314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOaqoK2TV
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVIhNlC2m0
“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 slightest314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQcYUO0X3Q
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXe0jVleGX
“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VQIck06J3
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECzGGV0SJ
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcf18MmW7r
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H3p1WHUOu
“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 say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSieB9H6IVN
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXf9yzTxjT
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyUWM0Z1Zc
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpraTxTqEJ
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCFzPYgCi
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu83OPdkWTm
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPTNC0cF2
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbcNhw3DGm
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHQsfSkDAJ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmMMYFg8zt
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePiJ8tazlV
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdLlLt6DFP
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ab8yixXt
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2B4DZhKy
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSRxzmgJ7v
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW9HydCLy8
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UftF0EjhT
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpZNlA2kM1
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOiNW7GghR
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSPkfugTz
“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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8no9Prj7
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4edmEtWS
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZGJn9wcX
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0O7sYeGCU
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5a9srb12s
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODchByswIh
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7N1iNZU5
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2prh4xXx7
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZMHBhajPX
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq65tkkeDZ
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEsSKhRZUM
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQCH6frfi9
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVY4PfAgmA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGhUTNSMNo
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWPZyD1Oyd
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiWVMZGJgp
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJyXmmeuJZ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntkxW2BA1I
“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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ7YEQvjXA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMnRVLwgGq
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSrkI1X4TW
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUCik0OKD
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUkLsewBsk
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ApKrNp8rc
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQekolvqTE

“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTgYFm4rvu
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrwcRCpZDg
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC6Cet8sd0

Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv17QyVlB4A
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1oUkUvK4X
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysioZgfNAj
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9BpSixK1Q
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoppRMLjv0t
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjisiRFua2p
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKIuaHMTno
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJff7A3ddr
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vayuTbV7Y
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46g4OaEdR7
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacJu1m9hEZ
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijiYzCXFNh
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKFyM6YqA
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkeYvFpzy1
“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 says314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN95bZeSVad
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMRNGpcRkT
“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.”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dWwGccosq

“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y133twc1T
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXvW48BtFZ
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDK7ouvaXV
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8KGOBLLg
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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD7wnO7QN8
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTDKfoVZv6
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Wd0aj0ah
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOcM6fSu97
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—”314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhQSLktIZr
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuLdjcVEnd
“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.314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yTCaPr4BR
314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW2Sn94wK
“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 flex314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlWNuOv31j
