Adam was a bit puzzled. Felix had asked what language the tattooed man was speaking, but it was clearly their own.
"What do you mean? He's speaking Stradorian." [Adam]
"Uh, no he's not." [Felix]
"Do you have ears?" [Adam]
"You're fucking with me right now." [Felix]
As the two bickered, the tattooed man stood up and placed a hand on his head as if he just recalled something.
"Oh! I forgot! This must be your first time in Zafyrn." [Tattooed Man]
"...Zafyrn?" [Adam]
"The great land that connects all of creation." [Tattooed Man]
The man then scratched his chin.
"That's strange though… How do you know our language?" [Tattooed Man]
He gave Adam a look of suspicion.
"Well, not my problem. Fuhahaha!" [Tattooed Man]
"He… has a very unique laugh." [Krino]
"Who is this guy…?" [Adam]
He muttered his words unknowingly.
"Hm?" [Tattooed Man]
Upon picking up Adam's words, the man laughed again.
"Fuhahaha! Va'al always told me to not forget my manners! My name is Fortis! Member of the Kaygrin clan!" [Fortis]
He extended a hand for a handshake.
"Uh… nice to meet you." [Adam]
Obliging Fortis, Adam could feel the man's grip overpower his own.
"Ow ow ow!" [Adam]
Adam rectrated his hand hoping that it wasn't broken.
"Oops, sorry about that. I'm bad at controlling my strength, you see. Then again, you have quite the durability don't you?" [Fortis]
He slapped Adam on the shoulder, causing a numbing pain to run through his arm.
("Is this guy trying to kill me?!") [Adam]
As Adam tried to walk off the pain, Felix tapped his shoulder.
"What?" [Adam]
"Since you can talk to him, be my translator. Where we are and how we can get home." [Felix]
("That's actually a good idea.") [Adam]
"Hey, uh… Fortis? Where are we?" [Adam]
Fortis glanced around and tapped his feet.
"On land." [Fortis]
"Okay, this guy might be dumber than you." [Krino]
"Where are we relative to Earth?" [Adam]
"Earth?" [Fortis]
The man then laughed.
"You must be asking to go home! You should have said so from the start! Of course, I have a way." [Fortis]
Adam then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, but the method may destroy your planet." [Fortis]
"Eh?" [Adam]
"On second thought, I would get scolded. How about I take you to someone who might know more than yours truly?" [Fortis]
"...Let's go with that." [Adam]
Fortis smiled.
"In that case…" [Fortis]
He placed his fingers into his lips and let out a deafening whistle.
"Woah! Adam, what's he doing?!" [Felix]
It was then that they could feel the ground rumble.
"There's something coming!" [Felix]
Pointing afar, there appeared to be some sort of object getting pulled along by strange animals.
"Are those horses with eight legs?" [Adam]
"It's pulling a chariot!" [Felix]
Four blue horses, strangely built with eight legs with rainbow colored manes were strapped to a chariot. The chariot itself was not beautiful as one might expect. In fact, it was quite battered and had large cuts in its metal design.
"Fuhahaha! Impressed? Come now! Our journey is just beginning!" [Fortis]
As the group approached the chariot, Adam came to realize how big it actually was. The horses were perhaps triple his size, and the chariot seemed to be made for a giant. Though, it was because of that size they were able to stand or even sit comfortably.
"Make sure to hold on!" [Fortis]
With one flick of the reins, the horses sprinted at astounding speed. They were even faster than Vamp's modified car.
"Adam, where are we going?!" [Felix]
"What?! I can't hear you!" [Adam]
The wind blowing past was deafening. It took yelling at the top of their lungs to barely converse.
"He said he's going to take us to someone that knows how to get home!" [Adam]
"Can we trust him?!" [Felix]
"Do you have a better idea?!" [Adam]
Felix went silent.
"Let's just play it out then!" [Felix]
"That's what I've been doing!" [Adam]
