As Mizu and Trenti were walking, they walked by a Statue of someone. Mizu stopped as he then looked at the statue as there were... Definite features of the statue"Hey uh... Trenti who's this statue about?" Trenti then stopped walking as he walks back a couple of steps "Oh, it's the Queen of Etris"Mizu then looked at the writings engraved onto the stone "Took hold of the place after the Lord eventually died for unknown reasons. The people don't mind at all nowadays, the queen is actually making peace treaties with the other factions unlike the Lord"Mizu then looked around as he noticed something unusual "Wait what? Why did everyone move to the sides""The queen has arrived!" A person shouted as everyone scurried to the sides as well."Come on Kid, let's not get in the way ya know" Trenti said in a hint of panic in his voice as Mizu just followed Trenti.Soon a carriage of some sort was passing through but instead of horses, it was knights with a black palette armor "Make way for the

As Mizu and Amarico started walking in the temple, Mizu can hear the clanging of swords and blasting of guns "Wait what was that blast?" Amarico turned around to look at him as she then thought about it "If I remember correctly, the queen started giving out weapons called.. what was it? Guns, there we go" Amarico then shrugged "Etris, along with Isle's of Vigils has been gaining some treaties with the Summer Company lately so I guess it's because of that" Mizu finally understood "But hey, the ones who are actually using the guns are using mantra bullets, basically a weaker version of a real bullet" Mizu nodded "That's good to hear, thought someone might die due to that" The 2 continued walking to their destination, a big training room. There were all types of weapons there from Greathammers to Swords and to Daggers, the room was filled to the brim with weapons "Alright kid pick whatever you want I'll wait for you there" Amarico then went to the arena as Mizu slowly looked at the

"So this is Erisia?" Mizu looked around as there was a massive gate in-front of them. The trio looked around as there were countless ships awaiting near the small beach that they were on "There's so many boats..." Amarico then looked around "Strange... people mostly gather here to find some squads to venture into the upper parts... but.." She was quite confused "This is really strange" The queen, Ada, tried to sense something with her enhanced hearing but nothing was emitted from the silence "Nothing... We'll worry about that later, for now we need to get to the Duchess's Manor, we can't waste time" Ada then started to walk inside as the 2 followed suit, there they saw what seems to be like Megaloudaunt carcasses and bodies around the area "Jesus fucking christ!" Amarico stumbled back "What the fuck happened here?!" Amarico then looked around as she saw a male moving near a rock that has 2 slopes "Hey are you alright!?" Amarico and the crew rushed towards the slowly dying ma

Amarico picked up the dead bandit's body as she threw it down the huge cliff they were on as it fell down to the bottom, a splat was heard after."P-Please don't hurt me" The young girl that had a blindfold on said while protecting her head. She was cowering in fear.Ada then comforted the girl "Do not fret, we are here to help... What is your name?"Ada said lightly as the girl started to have tears leak from her blindfold as she started bawling her eyes out "Shh... It's alright, you're safe now"Ada kept on patting the girl to make her calm down.After a few more minutes, the girl stopped crying as she was wiping herself down with a handkerchief Ada gave her.She then bowed "My name is Kate... I-I'm a future blindseer" Amarico was then surprised"You have been in the depths before?" Amarico asked as Ada looked at her feline companion who asked the question"What do you mean by that Amarico?"Amarico then thinks of it "I've read some books and some of them state the Blindseers must e

"The Megalodaunt has 4 attacks, 2 of which you can easily dodge" Ada was teaching the crew as they were slowly approaching the Viper's Jaw "The other 2 is their roar and it's pellets... As long as you don't give in to it's roar you are fine" Ada then unsheathes her dagger as they were now outside it "And for it's pellets, you can just go behind something" Ada then looks at the 3 as Amarico cracks her knuckles as she then made Kate go behind her "Stay behind me alright?" Amarico looked at the blindfolded girl as she nodded "Mizu, you're gonna help me out on killing it" Ada then slowly entered the cave as Mizu followed suit. As soon as they saw light, they saw the ominous figure, it was 15 ft tall with a hunched back but it was still menacing. There was a odor that almost made Mizu puke but Ada on the other hand was slowly crouching behind it. Mizu waited for any signal from Ada as she was fully behind it. Ada then signaled to Mizu to grab its attention. Mizu nodded as he ran up fr
