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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq14MunBbuM

“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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZDnQZatI
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcArRgtRcC4
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmYjdiVGVD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlFg4Ty5KF
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yo3AETq3m
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KfTELgWTX
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQAMpsyxc
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oWhm0Viv8
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oBJH3ApWX
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa345DUBOf
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmdflSrTdC
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnDPEB2y2f
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UuVuhs1cK
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcbOk7Hw3p
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXT3bSbix
“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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOdq8HpF3D
he says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUg5vxE06
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQLVVwjk3w
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdoWBDrjyu
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVF1XI6WYq
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOWWZsq0IM
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmHcJs3Xr
"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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuml11BY46
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQObbjv61
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJqEojjl3
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmUMXafC34
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTR8UQOVvw
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgUWII8ae
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYSRPrSdO
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiadxZo9T4L
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0HFUT1kAE
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxn69dadkz
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2f7uWz0HP
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReUy60nPt4
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TnmnoP2qQ
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDSFa7WDyw
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 forcibly177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7RQ01jWCY
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmdlVVmVmG
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyTK8cDP0V
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcresnSlEL5
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkuc1KkhhD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vwst4QuEf
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrfVuBKeR
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca4PHWPtZB
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSb9okhDvn
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NR0cPi5n1
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKx1Ukfwf
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkiGgfEidl
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4hIvjfk4X
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfV90WmN7b
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3M1tjfxVC
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgtu2WGFnJ
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z8TKTJ14T
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBteEdi7sa
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN3MjhzGoM
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jWpoyIOMO
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGswNFrJQXE
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPreY0uL6s
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU36E5bdtO4
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvyveioTxV
“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 sarcasm177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoZYN6V8j
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHSp88q8G5
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobDiLHLB7b
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpTaaa9iC
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgh3gr7wGz
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRV6ajt7e8
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjqSAENRfJ
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEmZfgUkGd
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqn9dVdsEA
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnekPlSDJDk
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdddjpSp6fX
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4n8UaSGH
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIPXa2wPsZ

“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?”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOpgwn6nSP
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ME1PzdSm
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPYr0Z2u03
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU6goHtN5n
“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 ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NWenicX7f
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4YbTy1hxB
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknfD1kp5a3
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh4VK1Irft
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GEJqj3Et8
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7TxdpSLGp
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarCuBEJ7dy
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTKfiiix2P
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSqL4zqAS
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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHIOcYjaa
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3FPGAprx2
“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."
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQR8BB5gWX
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHetcdLRr6
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQifh5Pcv1
“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 ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd6VKDHjO0
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR9PF9Tw1w
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmb8mwcFRT
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaMFHmpBrg
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNRhAFFi3g
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqzxsMwYD
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxsyk7B0v
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNjCrjgrd
“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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUELSqasya
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hhjswbyoL
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfTGjnJaGt
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KsVZmZzJr
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATWvaompoo
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHxQXhzxtV
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvANGzYZ4MO
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZKpEHVAN6
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZR8qVEM7
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdjM65b6d1
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebzrONEwK0
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTssmpRILV
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimCHYMGcfJ
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmkYWIUvNV
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.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQNH76K1DK
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMunZfC3YIH
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA90tNyrTx
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzgYsDXeuC
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwveECOt6j
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO73PCSEk2
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5dpw66fE8
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGAreTUxe
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFijOPBJquG
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7laqsVc8k
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHPumOaD2D
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nh1HDH5ET
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXRdePGoI
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwFOdW4yeD
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSd5Tmdst
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzD7q0REsV
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoryBscTgW
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszz65dVa9l
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBV8a6oVhj
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuS2NbGkKk
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlhSj7Ea6
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiXTHXTRGY
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrCpMEhcx
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ytos3CNt
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrTGV2VisD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozkzMQq1UO
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxl4BnArI7
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehyeWjINb
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0DAsUQYq8
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTmjVlYnDF
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXboGFILrtU
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ67ppvMtW
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq450oLYFv
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvU2FAsvqO
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VNMngCWN3
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBV0trPs50
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs36QegXZfF
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvINPOQCSq

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQJ2wsuxy3
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfTTOZHIpV
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy5AzsFr8T
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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6TvOtC0V7
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6tMTn9kSS
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXRvGVSGju
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmuvpvgTzt
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj5SAtjP1D
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIztUfQu9yz
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl5leE8fyD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHgibJlEbo
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJUFXbQgel
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMGHRUeoL5
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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEMItVR7D2
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZeotRH4Tn
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlO9SsucW
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6iVgEqS8
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcObyhfv41V
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4xSJG6M4
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHzdj6bkjy
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg913OJrj07
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTGhF7iIp
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYmapbKkCU
“Don’t know.” I say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoR6mIGS62

“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxEUSmeUuP
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz7DBzalSS
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmCje6hJPU
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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OL5v8mJsz
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKHSK5OyQM
“What about diamonds?” I asked177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkDdbJJ2u
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtKy2E1EuF
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcndAyJ0VLT
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgxpxEOn2d
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfUG3Fs7ip
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcuSat3r12
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgvzAGZmSW
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMwXv51hRY
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9PCY7wcdb
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ksv8HXjyM
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx19PVOM6N
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0t9nCWKcw
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2u4mhPQF
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.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48ucyKwiE
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh0FEigpFv
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpadvtRoqz
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZCU6KXmC5
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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNRQz2pktn
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJIbyYk4Vz
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95U99av8k
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. 177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv702XsaPXJ
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zJmb1deVk
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkkX8OAQM

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUJqHf1aCA
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMeY07LWW

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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAG7zjr30t
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9g0csnp0U
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeCig7iHYr
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8aCGuqGhZ
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsixPxnQiN
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13nUyBdiiv
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZvkBuYW2

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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH76XJtSi0q
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CZ9WUAa4k
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcRupqxlR4

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TwdGeVku
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7TtHDDOe9
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ztUe7huu
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7RzFqhX0U

“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 ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQcpHLjb9H
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2Ghg7lwG
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvE9iaZuqS

“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ110rZZalXI

“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 say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblGpXd3HM

“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Eb0oMUfD

“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 say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtI4npwBy0

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvXBTATNwq
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CdbtHrEWH
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPLIzWiyZd
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCiWqauJg
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmzNgpfa0T
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEl7YziZ4S
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44ePaDYam
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZ1MkrxEq
“Why?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydU9iWXTCx
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydG9wt82u5
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlnb1arZNU

“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oBrwF0GY2
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKU7b38eDB
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyEJlh7v5i
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs52wfDSan5
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC7RI3eqVg
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVDt7MdetD
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 thinks177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX36WDeSdb
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7RjL7fgSm
“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 slightest177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQXnFM0C9
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvESaXSRnkc
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFRqoguOpr
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwm7OYvyB
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFGBXeIVwm
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oEG8hr8ir
“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 say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8Ne0CfNC
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsA8rF0HZq
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4poo3flKcs
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7muUzMyLa
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWnFM9o15l
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycsSMlX3G
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2fSoi8wB0
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiBA1AtGjO
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweJIl9AHYn
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA2urudkBk
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXI3JRGHE4
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtNFW4PsR5
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRrrEfof67
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDScBKuzo
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GA7LGjZuP
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW7EcAa161
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FTHnzTc92
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPsS9fyCxa
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUm4xdZQhr
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8TJHPN3C
“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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRqqK24Pul
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTrrMbYl0v
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYGKEk7l7v
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M4Yjr5SsR
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTq9dlzgrI
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7uxBX8rWN
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNwsyieEBE
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGHX8ksil
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0TIKGS1u
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrIP9xeaj7
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8usSdBgue
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TtRhg6pPe
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBR3Ry9AH
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEmo7BJfuF
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODWUYQBcO
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmGpg5w3Bj
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGzfszCNJ7
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosBmgIHrDb
“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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod3GRNpQtQ
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgpqreU7p5
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28GDnJaowD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9w6o4HDDc
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3RUr0QRYT
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQuKCIdRz
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYw2nAzy3W
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk8MpMHc8r
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CaHg2BUPq
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ijRxRoEu
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X5MF0Qmlj

Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1u27EIdkz
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0D725v0O
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZbQUrbSUI
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEnTtfRsD
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnP0EsPK6B
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq02qDmHmtV
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3uKbvY2ZF
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ojyC9hZj
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlef8rQt57
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOUHGUqMg
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOioYJ3NQt
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k4IyvIlyu
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFJCbvtBwd
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKm4sZrulH
“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 says177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVgXz2iQ2
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaP7juPd8O
“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.”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FLqxleGa
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLvDfkvuLf
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfVIZWXjue
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPu2OeWvFM
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfe5C71jWt
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7gL7ycDF
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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsmhbc5lEd
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOnznQbql
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G5WidQ08g
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn7A6nFHX3
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—”177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYq9dZtMft
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlgNG7ACSC
“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.177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zK5QnXmCw
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpacxuaK1rr
“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 flex177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNti24gOP1
