Chapter 26 - Advance! To the capital of Minami - Tera

When all the Underlings, led by the Owl, showed up at the border of the camp. They seemed to be startled by the members of the Twins gang, but Perros came alongside them and also took a look at the camp.

"We made a deal..." Perros said.

"Go on." He smiled and made a welcoming gesture to signalize their new home.

"We are eternally grateful for your acts of kindness." The Owl said as his fellows walked past him towards the camp.

"Well, I think I gained more than you. But you're welcome." Perros responded and helped the Owl get into the main cabin.

After several hours of explaining the situation to the Owl. Fauna, Flora and Perros and his gang came out of the cabin. Where all the Underlings and members of the Twins gang were waiting for them.

"NOW!" Perros shouted cheerfully as everyone looked at them.

"We're going to throw a party to celebrate our new pact and your new home." He added and smiled.

The Underlings looked at Owl to see if what Perros was saying was true. He replied with a slow nod. They started shouting cheerfully and the preparations began.

A few hours passed and the sun set behind the horizon. Night fell and the lights lit up all over the camp. Tables in the center were stuffed with food and everything was almost ready.

"I can't wait!" Perros drooled over Bruno's cooking.

"I know, I know." Bruno was delighted and slowly pushed Perros away.

"Just wait until everyone gets here." He added and looked around.

They came together with all the things and food they had made. The celebration began.

Perros came right up to the middle of the table. He looked at the right end of the table and then at the left. Perros smiled.

"Alright everyone!" Perros shouted.

"Let's finally celebrate." He added, reaching out for food as far as he could.

"Don't even think about it." Bruno smacked Perros over the head.

"Why?!" Perros asked cluelessly, rubbing his head.

"Well, because it's just too much people. And let's just say they want to eat, too." Bruno added and sat down next to Perros.

Perros sat down angrily and folded his arms.

"Come on, let him live a little..." Esco said, hopping up on the chair next to Perros.

"But there sure are a lot of people here." He added, taking a bite.

After a while, Nazo appeared. And he brought some drinks.

"Drink up." Nazo said and set the keg in front of Perros.

Perros turned to him, wanting to say something.

"Don't worry, I have one too." Nazo said as he made his way to his seat.

"This is going to be a long night..." Perros sighed and took a big swig.

The hours ticked by and moments later everyone was in the heat of celebration.

"Tell me, F...." Perros spoke to Fauna.

"Fauna..." She responded.

"Exactly... What am I supposed to do now?" Perros said in a drunken voice.

"Yeah, what now?" Raven came out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?" Perros said in confusion.

"I just... stayed?" Raven answered.

"Who's she?" She asked again.

"F...." Perros tried to remember.

"Sigh, Fauna." Fauna replied again.

"I must say, you have great booze." Raven took a drink.

"Alright, now if you excuse us." Fauna said and looked at Raven.

"As you wish..." Raven said, took a sip and kept standing there.

Fauna looked annoyed, but Perros clearly didn't care about Raven. Just as Perros was about to leave to go somewhere else, Fauna finally spoke.

"Tera." Fauna said.

"This could be the place you're looking for, and it's not that far away." She added and looked at Perros, who had stopped.

Perros raised his hand and gave her a thumbs-up.

"I hope I will remember that tomorrow." He laughed and continued.

The celebrations went on until the morning. When Perros woke up, he looked around for his group. When Perros woke them, he would later find Fauna asleep in a chair. They walked silently past her.

"Tera." Fauna said with her eyes closed.

Perros smiled and continued on with his gang.

"What now, Cap'n?" Esco asked as they walked through the camp.

"I'M asking the questions here." Perros said bossy.

"Do you know where 'Tera' is?" He added.

"Err... if we go west, we should run into it." Esco said thoughtfully.

"Alright, let's head west." Perros said and whistled.

"Is this some kind of kink of yours? Whistling out of the blue?" Esco joked.

In a flash, Delgado appeared like with Dumpster on his back.

"Lemme guess, he's yours." Esco asked Perros.

Perros smiled and patted Delgado.

"How will we travel without the stagecoach we left in Bucle?" Bruno asked.

"Have no fear, I thought of that." Perros said proudly.

"Don't tell me you stole---" Nazo said in disbelief.

"I borrowed one of the local stagecoaches." Perros laughed and went behind a bush.

"And I even packed us some food." He added, pulling the stagecoach out of the bushes.

There were mixed feelings in the air, but they all mounted it anyway.

"How far is Tera?" Perros asked as they left the camp.

"How should I know, I've never been there, never seen it." Esco said sharply.

"Alright... let's go." Nazo said slowly, spurring Delgado on.

They knew where they had to go. The problem was that, they had to find a road to get there. Which didn't take them too long.

Not like Westernfield, Tera was somewhere in the middle of the island. It was about a day's drive. But this time they took turns driving, so they were there in no time, even though it was an all-day trip.

"I can smell something..." Esco woke up.

"Is it a good or a bad smell?" Perros asked.

Esco paused and looked at Perros.

"Do YOU identify good or bad smells?!" Esco said mockingly.

"We are getting closer..." He added and scratched his head.

And they really did. The forest began to thin out, and a huge temple appeared before them. But it was still far away.

"Is that Tera?" Perros asked in amazement.

"It appears to be." Bruno thought.

"It's... majestic." Nazo said, looking up at the top of the temple.

"You like it?" Perros asked.

"I do, it's peaceful around here." Nazo added.

"It is my homeland after all." He added.

In a few more hours, they arrived in the outskirts of the capital. Tera wasn't as big and lively as Westernfield, but it had something special. The temple.
