The long-white-bearded man in the high chair said, “Silence! We will be the ones asking all the questions, mortal!”
“Okay… I will try to answer then, but can I first ask where we are and... Are you the Gods that I was told about?”
“Who else would we be, mortal? Do we look like Humanoids?”
“Just a bit… sorry, my head is still spinning, and I find it diffic
Tharn fell asleep after the end of the System Sword’s record, and not even two hours later, he woke up with Istar mumbling something and rolling on the bed in her sleep.He put one arm over her and caressed her head while whispering, “It is alright, Istar, you are safe. Sleep, think about flying with Anubis, enjoy the wind and the sun… Sleep, Istar…”Next to his face, Iris complained in a whisper, “Annoying Cathra woke me up! M
While the others were thinking about Iris’ words, Tharn grabbed a small bag of coins, put it inside his one-shoulder bag, and asked, “What about if we got out of here? Istar, take the money you want to give to your parents, and let’s go.”Osman looked at the pile of bags full of coins on the floor and asked, “Are we really going to leave all this here? What if someone enters and robs us? Not that I don’t trust the Adventurers in this Guild, but still!”
With a flick of his hand, a ball of light appeared on Tharn’s right. It grew and made the guards and the people around them run away, to give it space. Then, he appeared in all his glory, Anubis, the Bringer of the End, flapping his wings and making dust lift from the ground, shooting a gush of fire straight at the sky.Tharn pointed at it and shouted, “The next time we arrive, we will be ridding three of those Elementals! And if you annoy me again, Captain, I will tell him to bite your head off! Go do your job and stop being such a brat! Grow up! And get out of my way before my horse vaporises you!”The Captain and his men stood aside, still loo
After flying over a massive swamp, a forest, and a large open field, a road appeared beneath them, stretching from north to south-east, straight at the city surrounded by tall rocky walls.Tharn made the Pegasus land, and when he disappeared, he said, “Istar, can you summon two of your rabbits to give us a ride? We are still far, and if we have to walk, it is going to take ages to arrive there.”“I can, but do you think we will be able to ride him? His body moves a lot when he jumps.”“Yeah, bad idea. It could be fun
Almost one hour later, Istar pointed at the small village ahead, with a wooden palisade around it. “That is my town. It is a resting place for caravans and travellers, and a bit more to the west, it’s the nearest City. People often stop here, because the rooms and meals are cheaper than in the City.”“Nice. And your family lives here?”“No, we have a small piece of land with a house a bit further ahead. We can get there by following the road at the back of the town, but my parents are probably in the market, selling products we gro
Istar shrugged and said, “A lot of things happened, but I want to explain later, during dinner. Don’t worry, it was nothing bad, and I became a very powerful Mage Summoner. We should get going, or your boss is going to scold you.”“Oh, he is not here right now. He went to buy some supplies. But where is your friend going to sleep? At our house? We have rooms here.”Istar made a slight frown and said, “I was thinking he could sleep in Dipti’s and Asardin’s room, but we don’t have a bed for him. It is probably best
Both siblings stared at their younger sister, who just smiled at them.Asardin pointed to the poles he had stuck in the soil during the morning, marking the limits of the new field he wanted to prepare.Tharn crossed his arms and nodded, and told Istar she needed to torch the place while making sure not to burn the crops that were almost ready to be harvested. Then, clear the soil of stones and tree remains, make the trenches, and seed the new field. Finally, water over everything.She kept on nodding, and her
The massive lion nodded and walked to the road while looking at his paws and then at the wings. On the road, he lowered his body to get ready, and with a powerful jump forward, he ran. His speed was absurd, way faster than Tharn’s Unicorns.When he reached the main road, he stopped by sliding on the floor and then turned around to where he came from. He opened his wings and flapped them a couple of times, then ran to the house, and with his wings spread and with powerful thrusts, he took off, going up in seconds. He made circles in the sky, turned to the right, made a large loop, and then went down, slowing his descent with powerful flaps.Latest Chapter
