[ Near the Borders of Azyrya Woodlands and Castle George ]
Narrator's POV:
The Second Regiment have finally started their move.
*armors clanging while walking*
They march and head towards the Azyrya Woodlands and initiate their patrol mission.
. . .
During marching, Zemislav take a moment to look at the night skies and see the beauty of the moon.
*Zemislav looked at the skies normally as his natural,stern face dominates*
"The moon... It shines so beautiful."
- Zemislav said.
*Margarette came to his side*
"Indeed sweety. The moon view here in Azyrya is mesmerizing."
- Margarette said.
*Margarette also looks up*
*Zemislav take a look on Margarette and he saw the calming expression from her*
*Zemislav gently smile and continue to move forward*
As they gaze towards the skies while walking, Tigreal heard them.
Tigreal's POV:
*Tigreal's wondering*
. . .
'Azyrya'?
. . .
*Tigreal starts to doubt*
Did mentor Margarette just mention 'Azyrya'?
The Azyrya Woodlands, the Elven territory?
. . .
*Tigreal remembered the objective and the preferred location of the mission mentioned by the high ranks of Order*
But the high officials of the Order didn't say anything about the elven territory.
*Tigreal's suspicion gone stronger*
How come we're here?
. . .
*Tigreal starts to be suspicious*
This sounds.... fishy....
. . .
I have to ask them.
. . .
*Tigreal quickly head to his mentors who are ahead of him*
"My dear mentors, may I have a moment to ask some questions?"
- I ask.
*Zemislav and Margarette's wondering*
"Sure! Go on!"
- Mentor Zemislav replied in a joyful tone.
"Just... don't ask about how to appeal towards the elves. They don't have any emotions though."
- Mentor Zemislav replied, comically.
. . .
"Sweety??"
- Mentor Margarette glares at him.
*Zemislav flinched*
*Zemislav shivers funnily*
"Okay! Okay! I won't be joking around! Just please cut it out, will ya?"
- Mentor Zemislav replied, comically.
. . .
"So what's the thing you'd like to ask, Sir Tigreal?"
- Mentor Margarette ask.
"My dear mentors, I wanted to ask regarding the mission."
- I ask.
*Zemislav and Margarette gone quiet*
"Why are we heading to the Elven territory? The Azyrya Woodlands?"
- I ask.
"I heard the high officials of the Order didn't mention anything about the Elven territory. The only thing I heard that comes from them is the Lantis Mountain. Can you explain this, my dear mentors?"
- I ask.
*Zemislav and Margarette gotten intensely quiet*
At that moment, when I ask them about the mission, they gone quiet for a while.
*Tigreal's waiting for his mentors' reply*
I don't know why it took them so long though.
. . .
They must be hiding something.
*Tigreal's eager to know the truth*
I need to know.
. . .
"Sir Tigreal, thank you for asking that question."
- Mentor Margarette said.
? ? ?
"You must be wondering, right? Sorry for not telling anything."
- Mentor Margarette apologize.
*Tigreal's confused*
"Sad to say, I cannot answer your question so I let the Regiment Leader, Captain Zemislav do the talking since he is the one in-charge of all this."
- Mentor Margarette said.
*Margarette looked towards Zemislav*
*Zemislav's gotten uncomfortable on how his wife addresses him*
"*ugh!* Stop being so modest towards me sweetheart, it feels kinda awkward to me ya know?"
- Mentor Zemislav awkwardly said.
*Zemislav still faces towards her wife in a serious way now*
"Anyway, I already expected you'll going to ask about the mission Sir Tigreal. So...."
- Mentor Zemislav seriously said.
*Zemislav faces Tigreal in his stern, natural look*
"Before I'll give you the answers you seek, would you mind telling me the topographical map of the Land of Dawn?"
- Mentor Zemislav ask.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly ask about the map's topography, mentor Zemislav? This has nothing to do with the question I-"
- I ask in a confused tone.
*silence of moment*
*Zemislav gently smiles at Tigreal*
"I guess you didn't study much about the topographical map that we assigned you before, eh?"
- Mentor Zemislav laughs.
*Zemislav laugh*
"Oh, Sir-"
- Mentor Zemislav shakes his head in disbelief.
At that serious moment, it suddenly shattered when my mentor Zemislav quickly cling on his wife.
*Zemislav's clinging to his wife hopelessly*
"Sweetheart, would you mind explaining the topographical map for me? Please!"
- Mentor Zemislav begs in a comical way.
*Margarette glares at him*
"Really, sweetheart? You talk high and mighty towards Sir Tigreal and now you beg me for help?"
- Margarette shakes in disbelief.
*Zemislav's begged hopelessly towards his wife*
"I thought you already familiarized the topography in the entire Land of Dawn since you've been serving the Order for so many years??"
- Mentor Margarette glares at her husband, funnily.
*Zemislav funnily cried*
"Yes, I did sweetheart! But you see, after so many years of experience, I'm too dependent on the Map! And this time, I failed to bring my greatest map with me!"
- Mentor Zemislav said in a comical and sadden way.
*Zemislav begs while kneeling towards his wife*
*Margarette sighs*
"You're so hopeless sweety. Have you forgotten you gave your 'precious map' to Sir Tigreal?"
- Mentor Margarette replied in a disappointed, and comical way.
*Zemislav flinch*
"Hey, what? Did I? When? And where? Sir Tigreal, did I actually-"
- Mentor Zemislav's acting dumb for a moment.
*Zemislav starting to panic, funnily*
When mentor Zemislav starting to act dumb in front of everybody, Mentor Margarette gave him a big SLAP on his nape part.
*SLAP*
*Zemislav groans in pain*
"AW! WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR??! I HATE VIOLENCE!"
- Mentor Zemislav cried in a comical way.
*Zemislav rants as he tries to soothe his slapped nape*
*Margarette's flaming in anger*
"STOP ACTING LIKE A DUMB ADULT, YOU IMPERTINENT FOOL! Can't you see Sir Tigreal is asking you seriously! Aren't you ashamed??!"
- Mentor Margarette rants in a comical way.
*Zemislav shivers comically*
"You've been telling our son forgetful without realizing that you, are the MOST FORGETFUL one here!"
- Mentor Margarette rants comically.
"Eh? Did I?"
- Mentor Zemislav childishly said.
*Margarette's anger level overload*
"JUSTICE FOR MY SON! Experience the might of my ULTIMATE SLAP OF JUSTICE!!"
- Mentor Margarette angrily said in a comical manner.
"NOOOO!!! PLEASE NO! NOOOO!!!"
- Mentor Zemislav begs, and scream like a goat.
. . .
*Zemislav run away from his angered wife*
*Zemislav screams alike of a Goat*
*Margarette chases him like a Lion*
*Tigreal glare in a comical way*
. . .
As I watches them, I took a moment to check my belongings whether Mentor Margarette is telling the truth.
*Tigreal examined his belongings, searching for a map*
*Tigreal flinched*
When I found the folded map here in my belongings....
*Tigreal feel awkward*
I, too feel ashamed for not using the map and just mindlessly ask about a question.
*sigh of disappoinment*
I'm so naive.
- - - - - Meanwhile - - - - -
After several minutes, I handed the map which my mentor Zemislav needed.
. . .
*Zemislav's face is covered in sore*
*Tigreal's about to laugh*
Mentor Zemislav seriously looked on his map.
*Tigreal couldn't hold his laughter*
Well, I....
*holding his laughter*
*Zemislav's seriously look on his map, full of swelling*
I can't help myself to laugh on my thoughts, as I saw him filled with lots of Hand Slap on his face, which soon swelled in the end.
*Tigreal laughs on his thoughts*
I just can't...
*holding his laughter*
Help myself but to laugh in my mind.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
. . .
While busy laughing in my mind, Mentor Zemislav faces me seriously.
*Zemislav looks at Tigreal in a serious way*
But still....
*Tigreal holds his laugh on his mind*
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING IN MY THOUGHTS!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
. . .
"Sir Tigreal, the Lantis Mountain... Have you ever heard of it?"
- Mentor Zemislav said while being hindered by swelling.
*Tigreal couldn't help himself but laugh in his thoughts right now.*
"Yes, my mentor. Lantis mountain is the longest mountain range here in the Land of Dawn. It is said that this mountain prevents the corruption of the Abyss from spreading further."
- I replied.
*Tigreal still struggling to hold his laugh in his mind, now that Zemislav is getting closer in his distance which made him having a mind torture*
"Indeed. You're right again sir Tigreal. And another one, what countries does this mountain grants protection?"
- Mentor Zemislav ask while bothered on his swelling face.
"The Moniyan and the Agelta Drylands, my mentor."
- I replied immediately.
"Oh crap!!! My mind's killing me!"
- I said in my thoughts comically.
*Zemislav smiles*
*Tigreal stopped laughing as soon as he sees his mentor showing a gentle smile on his face, despite the swelling*
"It seems the teachings of the Lumina City hides some crucial infos, eh?"
- Mentor Zemislav shakes in disbelief.
? ? ?
*Tigreal's surprised to hear what his mentor just said*
"Well, can't be help since the Moniyan and Azyrya cut their ties such a long time."
- Mentor Zemislav said.
*Tigreal saw his mentor smiles with a mixture of disappointment*
"I didn't expect that lacking of historical informations in terms of teaching deliverance would go this far. Anyway, it's about time I'll teach you something which Lumina failed to teach."
- Mentor Zemislav said.
*Zemislav gotten serious while Tigreal's shocked of what he heard*
*Tigreal's surprised*
*a moment of silence*
It's my first time seeing mentor Zemislav so serious.
*Tigreal makes an eye contact to Zemislav*
I've known him because of his cheerful and care-free behavior, despite having a stern looking face of his but now, he's gotten serious.
. . .
*Tigreal looked on his companions behind*
*the regiment members didn't utter anything*
As I observe my seniors, it seems it's not new to them about the things which my mentor uttered.
*Tigreal looked again on his seniors*
Kinda like, they've been aware of this for such a long time.
. . .
"Sir Tigreal, there are three countries that the Lantis mountain have protected against the Abyssal Corruption; The Moniyan Empire, the Agelta Drylands and The Azyrya Woodlands."
- Zemislav explains.
*while Zemislav's explaining, he raises his three fingers as indication of visual learning*
