Virgil looked at Daniel. "Are you feeling lucky today?" she asked. She looked back the gambling tables.
"I guess. I could put my luck to a test." Daniel replied.
The two of them walked towards the gambling table. Katherine goes after them.
"Where are you guys going?" She asked.
"We're going to see if luck is going to be in our favor," Virgil replied
"We can't risk loosing our money!" Katherine gets in their way.
"That's right!" Virgil threw the bag of coins to Daniel. He caught it mid air. She looked around and notices that there are coins scattered on the floor and no one seems to be looking for
The woman at the table has a slim and curvy body. She has deep pleading gray eyes, long straight black hair, and pouty red lips."Would you like to gamble With me? Handsome?" the woman asked, referring to Daniel.Daniel looked at the woman, examining her. The woman's gray eyes became hollow for a few millisecond. Daniel's eyes on the other hand dilated as he stare at the woman's eyes."I would love to gamble with you goddess," Daniel lost control of his body. He walked towards the woman. Virgil and Katherine followed him."Are you sure about this?" Virgil asked, knowing that there is something wrong.Daniel did not respond. He continued walking towards the woman until he approached her. Katherine sat at the chair next to him. Virgil leaps into her lap."We're going to play high pair!" The woman seductively caressed Daniel's shoulder."We are going to play high pair," Daniel said mo
The people went back inside the bar, frustrated. The otters kept singing. This time they are singing "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees. The guards and the homunculus, gained back their consciousness. The man who talked to Katherine at the slot machine stood at one of the gambling tables. "We have failed in pursuing the titular travelers!" the man announced. "If thee founds out we are all doomed, this entire bar is doomed." The man gets down from the table. The disappointment he feels is unbearable. The muscular man who gambles with Daniel and Virgil earlier approached the man. "We must try hard to keep this a fucking secret, " he said. "You're damn right," the man agreed. The homunculus stood up. "Actually there's still hope." She wiped the dirt in her hands. Her arms turned into wings and her body shrank. She grew feathers too and her mouth turned into beak. She transfigured herself into a crow. She walked toward the exit. "I
They began walking around, navigating their way through the giant boulders. Daniel and Katherine kept their hoods on. They bumped into some people who are walking at opposite directions. They kept on walking until they arrived at a marketplace. The stalls around the market are made out of bricks. Meat and vegetable products are displayed at the stalls. A lot of people are walking around ,carrying bags. They felt the ground rumbled. They looked around and saw a man riding a circular vehicle made out of rocks. People around them are transacting with the merchants. The man riding the vehicle approached them. He handed them a scroll. Daniel grabs it. He unrolled it and saw their cartographic sketch. "Oh shit! We've been compromised!" He showed the scroll to Katherine and Virgil. "We have to move quickly," sai
Virgil transformed into her human form. As a human she looks like a typical Caucasian girl with long reddish brown hair that almost reaches her waist. Her lips is almost pouting, her big round eyes is yellow in color. The appearance of her ears did not changed, they just got a little bit bigger. She is also wearing a black short bottoms and a black fitted crop top with no sleeves. "God! I hate this form!" Virgil's voice became pitchy and more feminine. Daniel chuckled lightly. It prompts Virgil to kick him in the crotch. "Don't laugh at me moron!" the cat yelled. Daniel wheezes as he holds his crotch. "We have to get out there now and beat the
Back at Bouldrusse, three residents stumbled upon the crater where Golemus resides. They found his hibernating body lying peacefully on the ground. Upon their discovery, they immediately reported the incident. Everyone assumed that he was defeated by the infamous three travelers. They realized that the three of them arrived at the city, undetected. Someone suggested that they should conduct a citywide manhunt. The higher ranking officials considered it but they realized that the three travelers have already went inside the tunnel and it is in the law that no residents from the city must enter the tunnel at all cost.Back at the tunnel, Katherine asked Daniel and Virgil if the dish she made is good."Yes! It's so good!" Daniel replied."The meat is so tender, and
Virgil woke up. She stretched her arms and looked around. She found out that Katherine and Daniel fell asleep. Both of them are snoring loudly. Virgil smiled while looking at them. She then stood up and did some stretching.After several minutes, Daniel and Katherine woke up. Both of them wiped their eyes. They both yawned too."Are you ready to go again?" Virgil looked at them, smiling.The two of them nodded, confidently.Without any hint of hesitation, the three of them started moving again. They went out of the tunnel and greeted once again by the great flooded city. Outside it's still raining. Virgil tried to form the orb again. Unfortunately, she failed to maintain it again. She stomped on the ground out of frustration."Why can't I do it!" she yelled.Daniel tapped Virgil's back. "Be patient. I know you'll get it to work, eventually. Just keep trying." He kept on tapping Virgil's shoulde
Virgil and Katherine woke up. They saw Daniel sitting near the serpent's head. It seems like they are having a conversation. "What do you think they're talking about?" Katherine asked. "I have no idea," Virgil replied. A few minutes later, Daniel crawled back to his original spot. He crawled carefully, making sure he won't fall. The serpent's skin feels a little bit rough despite being wet. Daniel approached Virgil and Katherine along the way. "The serpent said, we're still far away from the tunnel," said Daniel. "That's fine. As long as we can reach our destination, that's fine." Virgil gazed upon the sky. "There's no need for us to rush Daniel." Katherine smiled at Daniel. He smiled back at him. The serpent turned its head to look at them. "My apologies passengers. I hope you all can endure the
Virgil and Katherine approached Daniel. The mermaid greeted them with a smile."How are you doing?" Virgil asked."I'm fine, They gave me medicine. I guess it helped," Daniel replied."That's good!" Katherine smiled at Daniel."People her are nice especially that healer dude and this nurse." Daniel pointed at the mermaid. The mermaid smiled."That's good to know that you are enjoying their service here," said Virgil."It's surprising that there is a functioning hospital in this world." Daniel looked around, examining the room."Yes. There are lots of treatment facilities here. They are designed to give a little comfort to sick souls." Virgil explained."It just doesn't make sense." Daniel pinched his chin."I am a little bit confused too," said Katherine "It doesn't make sense to me that a world designed for punishments and suffering has a place that offers comf
