It was late at night . I was sitting on a bed before Era . I was sitting with my legs folded and I was in the mood for int
Era :
Why have you called me here . I'm getting sleepy .
Jay : (Serious)
I think you should know .
Era :
Even If I know everything about everything still I prefer to talk like a real human being .
Think about it . Would you like to be stared by someone because they know that you know that they know what they are going to say to you.
Era :
Even if I'm a child right now . I want to be treated like a proper lady .
Jay :
What's your age Era .
Era : (Proud)
Well right now I am 10 years old .
Jay :
So when does a child becomes a lady
Era :
Well in this world it's around 16 years and outside is 18 y,e,a,r,s . (Realisation)
Jay :
If I remember first when we came here you came to get us .
Where are your parents Era .
Era : (Cold)
I have no parents , I am just a piece created by your enemy . My birth , lineage , parentage should be of no concern to you .
Jay :
Okay okay chill .
Oh she's already cold .
Jay :
You intend to say you do have a family .
Era :
Well , .. yes . I do .
Jay : (Applying pressure)
And where are they ?
Era : (Feeling pressured)
They .... are ..... somewhere.
Jay : (Strong impression)
Where ?
Era : ( Fires back)
You don't want to go back to your home do you . I was sent here to guide you . Well then you can enjoy your time here with him or shut up about my personal matters.
Jay : (Retreated)
Fine I won't pry . You win .
Era :
I'll do my best to answer everything as long as it is within limits . But it will be limited to 2 per day .
Jay :
Then this one is about the lore . I first heard that the divine era . The elder gods were tormenting humans but there is no sign of them . So does it mean he cancelled the lore .
Era :
Everything is on track . Don't worry about it .
Jay :
2nd question . X sent you here does it mean that you work for him and why .
Era :
Yes , you can say I am a piece capable of moving independently under X's command . While other pieces are a hassle to move because some pieces are tied to the story and it's events So he uses me . And I don't mind it . Because if I did I won't be here .
Era :
And we are done for today .
The day ended . And a new day began .
Serlet woke us up and gave us homemade breakfast . Bread and butter . Though I sometimes feel blessed for having the fire element.
The method of eating the bread with butter in this world is raw .
And I had something that I can use . So I used it .
I heated the butter and spread it on the bread .
Just at the right temperature so that the butter doesn't get burnt or to melted that it changes its state . And some grilling to get the bread crispy .
And done .
Serlet :
May I know what you do for a living .
Jay :
We take in jobs and we earn money from that .
Serlet :
Then I had a request. You see the booster medicine you consumed yesterday was just a prototype. The one I'm making is much more stronger with less side effects but I lack some ingredients.
Can you get them for me .
McElroy:
What do you need ?
Serlet :
Not much just 2 ingredients.
One is the Ash flower . It grows near volcanoes .
and the other is moonlight grass . It grows near damp areas , mostly marshy areas .
Quest name : Herb collection.
Description: Get the required ingredients to complete the medicine .
Quest Rank : C++
Rewards :
Completed power booster .
Failure :
None .
Jay : (Inside his mind)
It says C++ means things aren't going to go easy .
Jay :
Is there something else we should be aware of .
Serlet :
Actually yes . You see the area is a particularly dangerous one .
Both having different flora and fauna results in different beings residing in that area .
Serlet :
Please you're the only one I could ask this too .
McElroy:
We accept your request.
Serlet :
Thank you , my saviors .
Jay :
Two ingredients huh and there are two of us .
McElroy:
Are you thinking what I'm thinking .
Man I would like to avoid the marshy area since it would be a disadvantage for me to fight there .
Then volcanoes would be a safe bet . And since it's without flora I could use fire all I want . but the enemies might have Fire resistance since they live around the volcanoes .
Atleast it would be much better than the marshes .
Jay :
Yes .
Both of them :
I'll go to the volcanoes.
Both of them :
What ?
Jay :
I think a water area suits your element better .
McElroy:
My elemental will work better on enemies around the volcanoes . As they live around high temperatures they will have resistance to your fire .
Jay :
Did you forget that I also control metal . And I could handle it for much longer around the mountains .
So I'm going.
McElroy:
I just have to decrease my body temperature with ice . I would be fine.
Jay :
The volcanoes have volcanic ash it might hurt your body . Causing asthma .
McElroy:
I don't think you would have to worry about that .
Serlet : (Loudly)
Please stop fighting . Both of you .
He showed us a jar.
Serlet :
Here is a jar with both places take only one .
Jay :
Well then I shall go first .
McElroy:
Wait I should be first .
Jay :
Then be my guest .
McElroy: (Distrust)
You already did something didn't you . Then you should go first .
Era removed one chit and gave it to McElroy while the other chit to me .
Era :
I have given these at random so no crying .
I closed my eyes as I believed that Era will not betray me even though she is working for the enemy . But I opened the chit and I was actually shocked with the results .
