Puzzled, trying to figure out what makes sense and what not for the past ten minutes, Woldemir found it appropriate to ask now. "I have a question. How... just how did you end up getting lost in the woods and miss two hundred years of war?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvtQAEMASWC
The color on Mogranius' face turned rather pale as Woldemir seeked a deeper explanation of this predicament. But yet he found the nerve to answer. "I was with Akareas, the previous Electus. We were researching more about the most unknown power to any Wizard or Witch, the mysterious powers of Teleportation."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAx4YfyQnbqX
These powers ring a bell, but just to be sure Woldemir asked. "Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I've been told, teleportation is where you disappear into thin air and appear somewhere else."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsqeIlG5uqh
Nodding in agreement as he thought through some other points, Mogranius clumsily replied. "Yes yes, you've heard."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAG6N8WD3mvE
"How does it equal to you skipping two hundred years?" Scratching his head, Woldemir couldn't comprehend this theory.
311Please respect copyright.PENANACLjJ7l2q96
What Mogranius is basically referring to is teleportation and above that, he is talking about Time Travel as well. Teleportation is a blur to most, explained as a fairy tale but considered as a magical power that every Electus should have. While Time Travel isn't even one of the 8 powers. The theory keeps getting crazier by the second.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJWSTTsKBsv
Thankfully Mogranius is willing to shed more light through this mountain of confusing darkness. "See, before I found myself in these woods, we were tipped off by an adventurer that a book about teleportation is deep down an underground dungeon."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOkt2QhAZH6
Instantly seeing this as a bad start, Woldemir couldn't help asking. "And you believed him? Adventurers are full of malarkey, they robbed so many rich men for elixirs that apparently grant immortality."
311Please respect copyright.PENANA05XXp97wZW
Shouting his sentences, his neck hair up thanks to recalling the scene, Mogranius butchered. "Oh an Adventurer tricking us became the least of our concern, although he didn't lie about the book!"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAtsPbX2TZVm
"So I'm assuming something went wrong?" Asked Woldemir, he figured out a bit where this is going.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJBO7blsVvJ
"It did!" He yelled again and continued. "Right after we found the book, managing to read a few pages of it too. But the dungeon was abandoned a couple of centuries ago, it didn't take long for a disaster to follow."
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8z5elOz00v
His attention given entirely towards the storyteller, Woldemir asked with his eyes wide open. "What happened?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAKkHQsqT9Fd
"Out of nowhere, part of the dungeon collapsed." Mogranius shouted once more and raised his arms towards the sky to add a little drama.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4A8msgBcAT
"So that's how you got here? Did the dungeon kill you or...?" Asked Woldemir while still having it hard to put two and two together.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAf6OUSo0NvE
Time Travel doesn't link here and he is getting convinced that Mogranius is a ghost, well Chapels would describe anything unusual as demonic or paranormal so why not aye?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAmULBZn35V3
A bit pissed, Mogranius added. "You would have known if you stopped interrupting my story!"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAh46UYQ59a3
"But I didn't..." Woldemir tried to speak but got interrupted, ironic ha?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAUZjrODiq1q
Becoming a bit of a drama queen, Mogranius explained. "I was exactly at the area where the dungeon collapsed. A second before large boulders and dirt were about to crush the soul out of me, Akareas casted a teleportation spell on me. That might explain how I got here."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAl95dHXw9xw
Now continuing to be confused, but also shocked, Woldemir pointed out a little fact. "But didn't you say that she didn't know anything about Teleportation Powers?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAB9zamFcfNa
"That could be the reason why I am here now, that's my best theory. I don't know what else to think." The situation is complex, it is a drag when you put an all powerful Electus behind an unknown spell.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5uyluiSa9
Since books became the topic again, Woldemir pitched. "My best advice would be to look for that special book in the Crutal Castle, maybe Akareas took it with her since she clearly survived that Dungeon collapse."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcn0YBxstEr
His eyes sparkling with hope, Mogranius looked at Woldemir as if he fell in love and expressed. "And with Eric as the Electus, surely I can teleport back in time somehow?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAn7ZIBo5ag4
"It is settled then, we will try to find that book." Woldemir smiled, but wanted to end that topic as well. He pointed forward and said, "Look where we have arrived!"
311Please respect copyright.PENANARiBI2TGF6o
The second Mogranius looks forward, he sees the big and beautiful Crutal Town after hours and hours of travelling, they even had to stop and set up camp last night for the sake of not collapsing.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYIYbwd06XO
His mouth remains open for a little while, he is amazed to see his home again and we can't deprive you of the fact that Crutal Town is majestically beautiful.
311Please respect copyright.PENANALEdCnAA2Ox
There are roots of plants spreading out everywhere, each stretching several meters through thick stone walls and colorful flowers blooming on those roots as well.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAWkY6xCRxSC
The Town is large itself as well, from one end to the other it surely held around five hundred houses. Most of the houses weren't exactly small either, it is indeed the wealthiest Town in [Country] Occidentis Ignis.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAy5h9EbSVI8
A tear dropping from his left eye, surfing down his cheek before it met the ground, Mogranius stuttered. "So much has changed, yet it changed in a good way. This place looks more beautiful than ever."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAugRbNJwXLV
Accidentally ruining his moment with the Town, Woldemir agreed. "I agree it is beautiful, this race has a fancy about decorating buildings or anything in general with plants. Most likely supported from the money that they force out of our race though."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAzGkYCKB3Gb
Mogranius isn't in the best emotional position to talk, so Woldemir used this opportunity to get some things straight. "From this point, you have to be careful of what you say and do. The illustratios have a thing about throwing fines over Ignites for ridiculous reasons."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2WLd1vRVS
Raising an eyebrow, curiosity overwhelming. Mogranius asked, "What sort of reasons?"
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgo7dG8SG2L
Trying to define stupidity, Woldemir shared a little case of his own. "Last summer I got fined for reading a book that wasn't about the illustratio, the finnes are outrageous as well."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAEhlIoOOIoO
"I knew illustratios weren't particularly bright, but this tips the bucket." You can't blame the old man here, who in their right mind would fine you for reading a book?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYc8kdJXsLU
"They are more brutal than they are stupid, If you can't pay the fines they'll throw you in the dungeon and beat you until your back is softer than your stomach." Woldemir lifted part of his shirt from behind, showing the scars that didn't disappear for over a year.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcVTjNJMuSH
As they approached Crutal Town closer and they reached the main gate, they immediately got approached by a couple of illustratio gatekeepers.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAraaFctmalc
Truly devilish looking characters, not literally though. Their skin color doesn't look like a typical stereotyped devil.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAjUCrqq4gXW
Their skin color is green and one other eye catching feature are their blood veins. From head to toe their veins are covered with a darker shade of green and a light dark shade of red as well here and there.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8aXLHnNO96
But most of the blood vein color running through their body is green.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAltPJgt006h
Their eyes are the most devil like part about them, they have these freakish completely red eyes! Difficult to look at without getting uncomfortable especially if one is yelling at you.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOIA2FaQkvD
These gatekeepers have fairly long hair too, much like every other race in these medieval times but theirs is green in colour. These body features however weren't nearly enough devil like compared to their tongue and behaviour.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyV7bwtPdTN
As soon as the Gatekeepers approached the Wagon, one of them pulls out a longsword and turned towards Mogranius, shouting. "State your business here you diseased devilish Ignite or my sword will be meeting your neck."
311Please respect copyright.PENANACFlwc2x5Ze
Before Mogranius utters a single word, Woldemir jumps in the conversation and shouts. "Do not hurt him, he is my cousin. He comes from the other side of our Country [Occidentis Ignis]."
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcXidhookvU
The other gate keeper replies with, "Oh so basically he is a worthless rag from Gaster Town?"
