Chapter->19
--> Steps
The sun shone high as usual, light filtering through the leaves. As it was finally decided who will go where. The crickets over the leafs made some noise in the calm breeze flowing on these lands. Myale ran her fingers through her flowing hair as she tightened her dress.
She wore a plain white top and plain white leggings. Over them was a golden scarf and white coat with soft fur on it's edges. The leggings had thick covering on the bottom making it feel like long-socks were also present and white shoes.
For the touch, she had wore a fine white feather pendent weaving a divinity in her attire.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A girl walked by the side of Myale, she was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall. Her hair were like a crimson river flowing with no dryness to them. She wore a single laced black top with a long fluttering neat dark coat. A hundred fold long skirt with a semi-circle cut in front and a borderline fluffy belt tied on her side-waist. Black high-heeled shoes with soft soles and bow-tie knots. A crimson star pendent over her chest laced with a dark-beaded chain.
Zarita stuffed her hands in her coat and enjoyed the calm breeze.
Scyures came with a deep-blue scarf and long night-blue coat with cyan turtleneck-inner and black leggings and dark blue shoes.
Lanmyth wore a lime shirt with a scarlet blazer and silver watch in his hand. A crown pendent hanging from his neck while he wore rich-brown trousers and leather shows.
The tailors of this place is on a scale of legends when it comes to designing and crafting meticulously beautiful outfits. As for the decision for where would they go to complete the task was as followed.
The decision was that Zarita will go to Hell.
Myale will go to Heaven.
Scyures will go to celestial land and
Lanmyth will go to...THE CONTINENTAL LAND.
This world consisted of TEN REALMS.
Four realms of heaven, two realms of hell and three realms of earth.
Realm certaily doesn't mean another world or dimension it also meant an unknown continet-sized or larger area.
The Heaven's four stories were, The FEET, The WINGS, THE EYES AND THE CROWN REALM.
Hell on the other hand had VOID REALM AND THE REALM OF SILENCE.
Earth had three divisions of lands called as realms.
THE LIVING.
THE CONTINENTAL LAND.
THE OLDEST KINGDOM.
The living was ordinary human and animals and other beings living land.
The continental was where beings who could size from a house to a whole continent lived. It was the land of pure terror. However, there was no records of any encounter towards this land as it was seemed to be a myth. So, near to this Lanmyth's area of mission was an archipelago near to this myth.
And the third is the oldest kingdom land.
It was a place no one ever reached, who reached has never returned. Some rumours say the ETERNAL SWORD also resided there.
And the fact that this kingdom is the start of humanity.
As for the CELESTIA REALM.
It had twelve division, every division belonged to one of the Zodiac signs of the twelve. Scyures had to figure out which realm had the target to be terminated.
As for Hein, Gunbo and Erika. They were under training of the Saint and protection of fairy-fragment.
The fairy cirlced all of them, their bodies glittered as from afar Hein was watching this miracle occur in real time.
They four were backed by the magic of Stained ruler to just a fraction of extent. It was so low nearly comparable to magicians.
But still it was something than nothing.
However, there was one mistake everyone missed, with this fraction of power. They all cannot be powered by this tiny-creature belonging to the pinnacle of omniscience as there were world barriers set by the ruling entities of those realms. If one entered, they would immediately be traced by the existence. And if the fairy's connection was sensed by these beings, it wouldn't take long until Ming huan had found about it. This was a secret to them.
Their bodies floated in sky slowly the air around them started to crack, the colours were saturated and slowly crippling away. Myale had retained her calm as she closed her eye-lids although she had a little fear in her. But her courage conquered it.
Zarita was actually scared as hell but on her impulses she was showing off as cool and excited, she bit Lanmyth on his shoulder to show her calm.
Scyures clenched his fist because he had the easiest other than these three he only had to negotiate much to find the location of the pillar.
Lanmyht was rubbing his shoulder where Zarita bit and he forogt his other emotions, other than that.
The fairy could only accompany Lanmyth because he was still on earth.
ZAP!!!
With a crackling thunderbolt thunder rung through astounding places reverbrating over the skies growling at the land and engulfed all five of them in an instant without mercy.
The growling thunders of the clouds above the sight caused their heart to ache a bit. However, they remained composed as to face the abomination waiting for their arrival.
...
Lanmyth had suddenly fallen on a plain ground, hard and rigid. The fairy hovered over him after slipping through the portal. He sat up and scratched his head hearing a faint voice.
'From now on let's talk telepathically!'
'You can do that? Sounds great.'
Lanmyth was seemingly enjoying the vocals in the telepathy he forgot to open his eyes as he heard the ground crackling with footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw a man in a black robe, long hair tied in braids and their tip coloured in red.
His face had three moles on his cheek, forehead and chin. Dry chipped lips and faint eye lashes.
Is he... starving or something? Lanmyth questioned to himself while the expression of that man, nearly as tall as Lanmyth, turn in grave rage.
He looked around and saw a large circle made from some kind of black and silver powder was totally dishelved.
'You ruined his magic circle!' The fairy said as she flew up watching everything unfold as an spectator.
''Grr..." the man was growling as he moved his hands in an unknown rhythm in the air. With swirling noises a notebook with metal cover and stained glass embled flew near him and a Quill dipped in ink circled around the notebook.
Is he a magician or something?
"Look there might be a misunderstanding. I was actually going somewhere else." Lanmyth tried to calm him down while raging towards the fairy for messing up their routes.
The book started glowing which drew Lanmyth's attention. If he could also obtain one... it'll be a good addition to his power as to match his old strength given by the system.
'We are at the right path. It's just the view was beautiful so I accidently dropped you here. Not my problem.' The fairy rolled upside down and then up in the air pumping her cheeks with anger.
'If I die here. I swear to haunt you as a ghost!'
...
Myale opened her eyes as the rays of beautiful giant sun illuminating every inch of area she could percieve. The increased light with no shadows helped her see far to the lands where large cathedrals and residential areas were seen.
She crouched and picked up some soil which was golden in the colour. Despite her lack of understanding of this huge world she wasn't mistaken.
It was...
"It's... it's Gold!!"
...
Scyures who woke up underneath a tree, got up and was searching here and there. He couldn't see anything other than the vast sky and stars in it. It was as if the time is night but he can see everything clearly.
He walked around nothing to decipher, only then he saw a small hut and crossed his hands. His thoughts clashed if he should go inside or let his presence be a mystery.
From his game knowledge he knew that these kinds of houses were more like start of the game. places for the hero to gain a grounded understanding of the area they were in.
He, with no time wasted, walked towards the house. It was a thatched-style house with a emblem on a flag over the top of it. The flag had the symbol of a zodiac among the twelve. It was libra.
He walked near the door which seemed to be made of wood and twisted the door knob, and finally with a deep breath he pushed it.
...
Everything was dark and dry. The ground was empty and the air was filled with nothing but mist. Zarita walked around looking for something.
"Zarita feels very sad! Zarita need water!" Zarita yelled as there seemed no response.
Her luring-by-being-dumb trick didn't work. Tch! She bit uer lower lip as slowly the air thickened and the icy scales enveloped everything there was to be seen.
"It's cold!" Zarita walked on the way as she saw some bones in her way. She didn't thought much and walked towards a place with a big sign board potruding out of it's line to be seen in sight. The place was open and scary, but Zarita had faced the reaper once. So she was known to this unknown feeling.
As she came closer to the signboard she saw something written on it.
It read like this...
