[09:08] 11 April, in Parvati, with Septum
"Woow! This city is awesome. Really, there's no military ring here?"
"Septum, most of the city doesn't have something like that, after all, wars are outdated. Let me introduce you to Parvati kids…" Gherico explained to us the story of this city and the differences with Shiva.
We've never been abroad. Cicaro and I come from a modest family, so we gladly accepted the free guide.
Let me demonstrate what I've learned: Parvati can be considered as a right shoulder for Shiva, which has always been a frontline city.
Also, both clans are in very good relations; they can be seen as two allies within the realm. Parvati is more shaped as a supportive city, providing food and raw materials to both cities, while Shiva provides workforce and protection.
Furthermore, between the two cities, there is a preferential channel for the exchange of information. This means that if something happens in Shiva, within 1-2 hours, Parvati will be informed. Pretty cool isn't it?
"How we didn't know about something so important for Shiva?" Cicaro asked the group, and Abello said.
"Whaat? They didn't tell you this at school? Well I hope you understand now, cause I am not repeating myself"
"Yes Sir!" We both began
"What are the plans for today, Gherico??" I asked him
"Erm, I forgor…Abello? Do you remember the plan for today?"
"Let's split and gather information, Me and Orite will search in all the newspapers" He smiled and pointed at Gherico "while you, Septum, and Cicaro will go in the municipality"
"NOT THAT" Gherico screamed while all the passers-by turned towards him
"How embarrassing…" Cicaro whispered into my ear, then I wanted to know what was so bad about the Municipality.
"Gherico, what's the problem, is it a bad place?"
"Septum…you innocent kid, the Municipality is the gate of hell, people get out of that place drained of their life, in that place dreams are crushed!
Abello is sending us to the worst place in this kingdom!!!"
Then he collapsed to the ground.
"Bro…" Even Orite had his hand in the hair while Gherico was speaking, cause everyone turned to watch his terrible show
Abello ignored him and talked to us
"Mmm, the Municipality is the place you go when you need a job, Gherico is just lazy, he has bad memories of that place, but he will be okay"
"Do we have to babysit him?" Cicaro asked politely
"Just do your best we'll be quick don't worry" Abello said as he went in one direction with Orite
So we were left with an impossible challenge: convince this drama-man to enter that place.
"Just another step. Yay, we are in!" I exclaimed while the guards were looking at us suspiciously
The hall was huge, I counted at least 10 stations, with people waiting in line.
So we waited our turn, and finally, we were able to talk with the man.
"Come on Gherico, you are the adult here!" I whispered to him, while I pushed him in front of the info man
"Ehm, I need some information about a man" he was definitely embarrassed
"Sure, what job does he do? He works for you?" The man asked politely
"NOO! I won't work for YOU! THIS IS THE HELL, LET'S RUN AWAY"
He grabbed our hands and dragged us out of the municipality, of course everyone watched us like we were some kind of psychopath.
"Gherico…" Cicaro was really angry
"Sorry, I couldn't do it, he asked me to work for him! You saw that"
"Gherico, he did not ask that you know what I don't even want to explain it to you, be an adult and get in there"
We forced him to get in there so we were able to get some information, apparently Turin has no job registered. However, they found a period where they were enlisted in the Theoran army.
"Now that we have some information, we can leave this place, and go search in the training camp, maybe someone knows him there" Gherico said, transforming back to a normal adult.
"Yeah…we will follow you Mr. Adult" Cicaro said.
