After a few minutes, Akeno left the kid taking a rest in the room they bought, she and the big man were helping to repair the Inn, the big man was getting the broken wood and giving to Akeno, while she was using her magic to repair everything, took some hours to finish and it was getting dark already
- what are you looking at?
- oh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking how cool it is to be a mage...
- what do you mean?
- to have such... cool skills... you see? I'm just a strong guy, nothing else... it is... boring
- hey! don't say that, I am a mage, but you gave me such damn problems, being only muscles isn't that bad, it has its merit too
- thank you...
- yeah, now that we finished here...
She sits on the chair and took a deep breath
- are you ok?
- wha- ah, yeah yeah, just a little tired, it took some of my mana to repair everything
- mana...
- now, big guy-
- Jorge
- what?
- name's Jorge, despite my appearance, I have a name
- okay.... "Jorge", tell me, who is your master and what orders did you take?
- hmpf...
Jorge sit down on the floor
- my master is an old lord that lives to the east from here
- he's a lord? to the east? I've never heard of a lord living to the east
- we were... hiding from society, for decades
- ok, he might have some reason for it, which is very suspicious... now tell me, what orders did you take?
- to bring the cursed child, for my master
- cursed child?
- yes... I don't know the details, but I heard my master talking to a woman, she said that there was a cursed child here and she wants to emilinate him, to save the world, she was threatening my master to obey her, and he is already old, so he asked me to do this job...
- damn... there's something happening, we need to protect that child
- no! we can't!
- Jorge, I know your brain is full of muscles, but think a little bit, that is all too suspicious, that boy isn't cursed, and the woman is obviously hiding something...
- my master said something else before he order me to capture the child
- what he said?
- he said... the child is somehow connected to someone called Ulgmür-
Before he finish his sentence, the door of the bar was suddenly opened, a blond woman was standing there, wearing green clothes just like the other adventurers
- welcome! to the Great Beast... Inn...
Said tavelor, the barman
- where... is... Edric?!
- you! you are the elf, Adria, aren't you?
Adria gave a look around
- where is the child?!
She comes closer
- h-hey, I know a bit of what's going on, so please just sit down and let's drink, I'm the little boy's friend, he's taking a rest on that room on my back, so please calm down so we can talk...
Adria looked to Akeno and then....
- arh... ok I will accept one drink only, I am very tired, was looking for that kid for hours, this city is really big...
- too easy to get yourself lost here, huh?
- yes... indeed
- here, drink one, for my own
- thank you...
Adria drank one beer and almost instantly got drunk
- (hic) y'know... you're such a cool girl.. (hic) I like your hair, is... (hic) really cool..
- damn, no more beers for you
- what's your name cool girl? (hic)
- it's... Akeno...
- Aaaakenooo... wait... I remember an Akeno, ruthos told me about one Akeno before...
- did he? I knew it! so he's really alive! and you know him! so that kid... he must be his true grandson! I knew it Jorge! ...Jorge?
Jorge disappeared from there without no one notices
- tavelor? did you see the big guy leaving?
- no I didn't, I'm just here cleaning the mess you did today, nobody came to my bar thanks to you and your...
Adria was laughing to tavelor making fun of his funny beard
- friends...
- damn, how can such a big guy disappear without no one realizes?
- hey... Akeno... (hic)
- yes ma'am?
- where is edric?
- he's sleeping, was unconscious after... something happened
Adria suddenly was sober again and was with a serious expression
- he is what... did he... so, that darkness from before... and the freezing weather...
- yeah there was some ice explosion and.. l-look, I don't know exactly what happened I was-
- WHERE IS HE? HE SHOULD NOT GET UNCONSCIOUS
- hey hey! chill! what's wrong?
- you don't understand... he has...
A tremor occurred on the whole Inn
- what was that? Akeno! I hope you're not doing anything to my bar...
- I have no idea this time, tavelor
- it's him...
- what? who?
- ...Daedric
- who?
- don't you know the old tales?
- sorry ma'am, I'm not so old, what tales?
Another tremor occurred
- about a prince of pure evilness, called Daedric, the tale says, he was ordered to eliminate all the human race from this world, but then one day, he fell in love for a human woman and then they...
Another strong tremor occurred, some drinks and bottles were falling to the ground
- my beers! (tavelor cries)
- and then they had a child, the child that ironically would save the world from a creature that was coming to this world to punish Daedric, his angry master, because he couldn't eliminate all the humans from this world, and then, the child would possibly defeat his master, Ulgmür...
- wow... that is a really problematic thing... so you are saying... that child is...
- Edric, the son of Daedric
Another tremor occurred, the whole building was trembling and then, a big final tremor occurred
- what happened?
- I will go check Edric
- ok, I'll see what's going on outside
Adria went to the room were Edric was and Akeno went to the door and then...
- what the hell is this...
- what happened? Akeno? my ba-.....
- Edric is now sleeping, no more unconscious, I used magic to relax his mind... hey what happened, why are you two standing on the door?
Tavelor sit down on the floor and was traumatized, Akeno was still trying to understand what happened
- What is going on? ...by the gods of Alfheim... what did just happen...
Adria went to the door and realized that they weren't in the city anymore, the whole building was teleported to another place, a field of grass and flowers, really far away from any city they knew.
What will happen now? how will our friends find out where they are and when will edric finally wake up? we'll find out in the next episode! maybe... hehehe...
