Iago began to rush at us again. Though unknown to him I had already asked Temti to help me with a few buffs. As he made his way to us, Temti and I both moved to the side. He kept running, obviously the Forsaken must have been in the direction he was going. I began to chase after him, with haste, it didn't take long for me to reach him. Bringing out both my daggers I began to swing at Iago. It managed to hit him in the shoulder and didn't seem to have much of an impact. He kind of just laughed, tossing a few stars at me. This confirmed the fact that he was in the same class as Liam. I tried my best to avoid the stars but a few did hit their mark. I activated my Dark Spids skill and went after him. As I began to approach Temti let out a shot of his Dacqui again, it made for an excellent distraction against Iago. I took another swing at him this time. I actually landed a much deeper blow. The dagger stuck deep into him, and surprisingly he didn't seem to be phased. He threw his claw into my side, causing severe pain. Throwing me over across the way. Once I landed my body was unable to move, for a second there my mind went blank. I had to force myself to get back up. Returning to the battle I noticed Iago now had Temti in his clutches.
"I hope that didn't hurt you too, did it?"
[Iago, approaching Twilight with Temti in hand]
"You didn't, but by any chance can you let go of Temti there."
[Twilight, Standing up and holding his wound together]
"Well, I might be more inclined to let go of him if you help me."
[Iago]
"Once again I don't think that would be for the best."
[Twilight]
"Then I think I'm just going to have to hurt your little friend here?"
[Iago, inching his claws closer to Temti]
"Okay, but first you have to let me heal myself."
[Twilight]
"I hope you don't think it will be that easy to trick me."
[Iago]
"I don't."
[Twilight]
As I began to reach into my bag, for a few small potions, making sure to keep an eye on Iago just in case. I started to notice temti giving me one of our signals. That way I could end up saving him. It seemed like his arm was free enough for him to at least get off a small swing. In which he did, that gave me enough time to actually grab a potion. Temti began his attack and didn't really get anywhere. So after healing myself I began to rush Iago. Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time, Iago had already pressed his claw into Temti. I threw one of my daggers straight at him. It gave me enough space to grab Temti. I then left my bag with him so he could heal. I activated my Shadow Step, giving me more time to make my way over to Iago. Once behind him, I stepped back out, slashing him in the back. When it didn't stick, I went right back into it again this time activating Weapon Ignition. With that, I kept jumping in and out slashing at Iago in any possible way. After a while, I could see it had caused him plenty of damage. So I went in for the final blow. He was able to dodge it this time.
"You're much better than I thought you would be especially for your age. Don't worry kid, this isn't the last of me you've seen."
[Iago, injured and backing away from the area]
He said as he disappeared into the shadows. I went on through the gate to enter a pretty bizarre place. The walls were rock and you could clearly see water coming down them, but on the ground there was lava, and circling a small part of the ground that was walkable. It also ended at this big circle shape, and at the end, was him.
It was Gluttony and I knew once he saw me he attacked, while dual-wielding two swords. At this point, I was glad that Temti and I had healed up. I made my way straight for the Forsaken. It seemed to be a Fae just like Airana was, he had this x shaped scar on his face. Making my way into the middle of the small island in the middle. I wasn't sure just how I was going to take on Gluttony but I knew you and to do it a little different. Being tired from the previous battle I began to make my way through the shadows again. Getting Temti to help me fight this time we tagged teamed Gluttony. It didn't take long till I was able to make the finishing blow. After which this Orange essence will then appear. It was kind of like with Sloth. Afterward, the area around me began to turn black, like the essence from it was being drained. I felt myself get better and all my wounds heal, it even felt like my own essence was coming back to me.
"That was weird, this is the second time something like that has happened. I wonder if I can ask the queen or someone in the kingdom what's going on with me. "
[Thought Twilight]
I headed back out of the Shrine, meeting up with the others. It looked like they had already defeated the cult members that arrived so we didn't have much to worry about. We then headed back to Manshu Kingdom.
S.Y. 641 Agi 35 5:24 L.Q. - A Boat Somewhere Unknown
"I think I found him, the kid we've been looking for all these years. It seems he didn't die in the woods that day, don't worry I'm sure he's going to head to Sanshu, I'll handle him there if I must."
[Iago over the communicator]
S.Y. 641 Agi 35 5:29 L.Q. - Manshu Kingdom
The Journey didn't take long to return but the fact that we were all too tired made it feel like a longer time than usual. I then returned to the people, where they even helped as my Kiri hatched. They gave me this thing called a tinker bell that allowed me to fully control the different creatures I turn into familiars. Kirpinicus helped me learn a lot about the way a tinkerbell worked. He showed me that you could capture quite a few other riding animals, usually, the Manshuians did this through hatching and cultivating eggs. They would raise the creatures as their own, so not only did I go around the different provinces. I also got to explore deeper into the wilderness around the island. I found a few eggs here and there and returned back to the kingdom. I raised quite a few of them, they weren't all riding animals and I also gave a few out to other villagers. The next few days were spent wandering around the island, with Temti, Gixoh, and Lepricus. Sirisa spent more time in Winthonia, but we did visit. We all spent our days exploring and training, where I took on some side quests.
