They say that the lower land of Februa was quite different from the one on the top, well the two could confirm it. The place was a little dim, slight lights from the floating orbs is the only thing that lights the way to anyone who goes there. Oddly enough, it was quiet spacious inside the cave, and there are people too, februans with black wings and Polars too. It was Ace's first time to see someone of his kind.
They took the only path of the lower land which ultimately leads them to a small village. This is where unpurified souls live and stay, since they can't go back to the surface without being purified.
"Oh, a new face." one polar man spoke as they were walking.
"Looking for an adventure young man?" he asked again.
"Y...Yes sir. We're heading to the purification altar for our training." he answered back.
"Well, good luck to you young man."
The two young lads continued to walk in the center but Aces stopped and asked once more.
"By any chance sir, are you a polar from Janus?"
"Ofcourse I am lad, this blue mark says It." he then showed something blue in his arms. "All Janus Polars have this mark for identification."
Ace only stared on the mark then he continued walking with Icarus.
"So, that's how you identify Janus Polar huh, a blue pigment on the skin. You didn't show me something interesting about your kind Ace." Icarus spoke to his friend.
"Well, I don't have a blue pigment on my skin." Ace answered bluntly.
"What? Aren't you from the Janus?"
"That is why I told you that my past is hazy, I don't know my origin and that is why I want to explore the rest of the sphere. Probably, I can find something, some clue perhaps, and of course, the Sun."
Icarus giggled.
It was not long until the two young lads reached the altar. On the bottom was a wide water. Surrounding the water are bushes with pink leaves.
"Here to purify and train your soul's young men?" the altar man asked.
The two boys nodded.
"Dip you whole body in the water, allow yourself to flow in the current of the souls. You will feel pain when the extraction takes place but bear with it. The rest of the instruction will be laid to you right after the extraction."
The two boys then went down the water. They both took their bags and slowly, they dipped half of their bodies in the lukewarm of water.
"See you then Ace." Icarus spoke to his friend.
"Same to you." Ace answered.
