Reality and Departure
[Ace POV],
After that incident, we eventually arrived at our destination.
Emma is also with us, I should mention. We gathered after encountering her on the road. Anna and Chris are still completely unaware that they have a new teammate. I'll have to find some time to tell them.
Coincidently, just as I was about to knock, the door opened, and Adara emerged with a black bag in her hand. I could feel a tremendous amount of energy emanating from the bag, and even though I couldn't see what was inside, I knew what it contained.
It was most likely the crystal core of the Goblin Lord. Unlike zombie cores, which could somewhat be called false cores, cores harvested from ranked creatures are genuine and full of energy.
And I really need as many cores as I can get, especially now that I'm on a job quest. An item made from a ranked creature crystal core will go a long way, as I already have some plans for how to use it.
