*Lucius wakes up and wonders where he is. He is trying to re-orient himself with where he is and what time it probably is and why he is there. He then remembers that Lucrezia has created a warp portal which they entered thus leading them to this area. He realized that the environment that he is in now is different from anywhere familiar near Auch.
Lucius: Where is this? *he looks around looking for Lucrezia and Lorch*
*Although the environment is very different, he realizes that the land that he is in is consistent with the immediate Auch Environment
*However, at the distant end of the gloomy meadows lies a great land of stone. As if the only transition was the earthly bridge which he stood on. With great care, he walks towards the sound of footsteps where he sees 2 mysterious figures hidden in the darkness of the night, having a conversation. He hid beside a rock nearby and eavesdropped.
Male: Took you long enough
Female: You expect too much, the frontier is not very near here. Even with space magic, it takes time.
Male: You seem to be losing your touch.
Female: You may want to keep quiet if you do not wish to lose your neck.
Male: *short chuckle*
Female: Why this of all the places? You would not want to get close to Cheryl’s
Male: Her energy reminds of my youth. You, of all people should know the rawness of her potential.
Female: Thus describing her… raw. Not good enough. So why have you asked for me?
Male: Our past debts… I believe is on its course.
Female: You sound like Ulrik. And believe me, that is not a complement.
Male: Do you remember the region east of Vespanola?
Female: The battlegrounds of the Three-Year War.
Male: It has begun its course.
Female: I do not believe they are of grave threat to us.
Male: We should still be careful.
Female: Then I will take care of this.
*The male’s face shortly was revealed by the moonlight, he was looking at the direction of Lucius.
Female: Do you want me to finish him?
*Lucius’ heart skipped a bit. This is the feeling of impending doom.
Male: There is nothing in what we talked about that he would understand. I want to make him live long enough to remember this feeling of fear.
Female: Then I will take my leave. You should go before Cheryl senses your presence.
Male: *nods*.
*The two figures disappeared as the shadows of the clouds hovering the skies covered the moon.
Lucius: *breathes in deeply*
Lucrezia: Hey!
Lucius: Whoa!
*Lucius sees Lucrezia and Lorch from behind.
Lucrezia: Looks like you’ve seen a ghost.
Lucius: Then this is a ghost I’m glad to see.
Lucrezia: We’ve been looking for you. I’m glad everyone is safe. Lorch says that this is the El Ruina Memoria, next to this is grassy hills of El Tejado Verde. From there, we can by Auch then El Lago de Tres Hermanas. Not that bad eh?
Lucius: Yeah. *Lucius opted not to talk about what had happened a while ago.*
Lorch: We must be careful though. Where we are heading to is the hideout of bandits. There are a lot of them roaming these areas.
Lucius: I understand.
Lorch: Torsche’s mansion is not far from there. We must hurry then.
