Caesar and Edward waited for another 30 minutes before finally, they could hear a light knock on the door.
*knock*
*knock*
"It's me, Joe, I had to ask around to find out where your room was" Joe whispered from the other side of the door.
*creak*
Caesar opened the door and gestured for Joe to sit down at the table, he went over to the bed and gently nudged Ahri "it's time to get up Ahri" He said gently.
Ahri slowly opened up her drowsy eyelids and scanned the room.
*cough*
she coughed to cover up her embarrassment after realizing that they were all waiting for her, she got out of Caesar's bed and slowly walked to one of the chairs.
Once they were all sitting down, Caesar walked towards the bookshelf on the far right of his room, he rummaged through a few books before finally, he grabbed a large, slightly faded scroll.
He walked back to the table and straightened out the scroll on the table, "this is a map that briefly covers part of the dark continent and the continent we are currently residing in" Caesar explained calmly after seeing their confused expressions.
Caesar pointed to the northernmost point of the map, "this is where we are currently located" he said.
The others at the table all nodded in understanding and waiting for Caesar to continue, "Since all three of you have traveled from faraway places to here, I assume, you know a good path towards the dark continent" Caesar asked while looking at Ahri, Joe, and Edward with curiosity.
"Heh, I may have traveled pretty far, but, I never went to no dark continent" Joe opened up first.
Both Ahri and Edward held contemplating expressions "when we came here, we just kept on walking north until we saw the signpost stating it was Rahvin kingdom" Edward said after thinking for a few seconds.
The corner of Caesar's lip twitched, Caesar, moved his slender finger across the map and pointed to the dark continent "do you at least know where your clan is located?" Caesar asked with exasperation.
"Hmm, It is somewhere around here," Ahri said as she drew a big circle at the southern part of the dark continent.
Caesar stroked his chin, "would it be easier to go diagonally from our location down to the southern parts of the dark continent?" he looked at Edward and Ahri curiously.
"Yes, we should avoid the northern parts of the dark continent at all costs… Many A+ clans reside there."
Caesar nodded his head slowly, he once again streaked across the map with his finger "we should try to avoid any big kingdoms if possible, or any places that are undergoing war"
"Man, are we really going to the dark continent?" Joe voiced his reluctance
"Yes, we have many important things to do there… Besides, what makes you so scared?"
Joe abruptly stood up "There used to be many dwarven kingdoms in the dark continent you know?" he said with a longing look on his face.
"Back in the day us dwarves didn't have to live in that molten continent, we had kingdoms made of gold"
Caesar sat down at the foot of the bed and tilted his head curiously, both Ahri and Edward did the same… "What happened?"
"Well, this history isn't hidden or anything it's just that not many people believe it… But I sure as hell do"
Joe paused for a second and looked at everyone's eager expression.
"Before the vampires fell and the entire dark continent was relatively peaceful, Feltharion, a dark dragon had awoken from his slumber… no one knew why but he who used to be considered a holy dragon started destroying everything in his sights in a fit of rage, he destroyed the dwarven kingdoms and many of the elves but when he headed towards the middle of the continent he suddenly disappeared one day… The SS+ threat dragon simply vanished, no one to this day knows what happened but, in the middle of the dark continent resides a deep crater… It is said that if you drink the blood of Feltharion you gain extraordinary strength, people to this day are still looking for his body"
Caesar's lips twitched "you seem to not know much about this legend yourself"
"Hmph, of course, I don't know all of the details, It was a simple story my mother read to me at night a long time ago"
"There are no records of dwarven kingdoms in the dark continent besides that legend?" Ahri and Edward asked at the same time.
*cough*
Joe coughed to hide his embarrassment "I think it is real though"
Everyone present in the room rolled their eyes and continued mapping out a path, "do you guys have anything you need to carry specifically?" Caesar asked curiously
"Just clothes and… other things" Ahri hesitated for a second and said.
"Just my weapons and clothes," Edward said straightforwardly
"Just me, haha!" Joe laughed self deprecatingly
"Well, Ahri, give me all of the small things you want to bring and I will carry them," Caesar said after thinking about his storage ring.
"O-okay…" Ahri blushed and averted her eyes.
*clap*
Caesar didn't pay her much heed and continued "get everything you need ready, we are leaving in three days… I will take care of the food and transportation" Caesar clapped his hands and gained everyone's attention.
"okay" they all three answered at the same time.
Soon both Edward and Joe left the room leaving Ahri and Caesar alone… Caesar massaged his temples while contemplating "I can't believe they don't even know where their own clan is located…" Caesar thought to himself depressedly.
"I am going to get my things prepared, I will come back later t-tonight," Ahri said slightly embarrassed and headed for the door.
Caesar opened his eyes in surprise "are you sure you want to do it again?" Caesar asked teasingly.
"N-no that's not it you idiot!, It's normal f-for a couple to sleep in the s-same room isn't it?" Ahri said quietly while looking at the ground.
"Haha, of course," Caesar said soothingly and a beautiful smile blossomed on Ahri's face.
*creak*
*slam*
Once everyone was out of the room Caesar walked towards his bookshelf and pulled out a dark brown book with golden engravings… it was the art of swords that his father had given him as a present.
Caesar sat down at the table and flipped through the pages… once the sun went down and the light in the room escaped Caesar closed his book and looked outside of the window…
"It's a full moon tonight," he said quietly.
Sudden a stinging pain attacked his forehead, Caesar fell to the ground and growled in pain… "what the hell is this?" he frantically thought to himself.
*knock*
*knock*
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Caesar and Edward waited for another 30 minutes before finally, they could hear a light knock on the door.
