Chapter 7 - THE ROAD TO THE WATER KINGDOM

The room grew taut as Liar's smile widened. "Ah, the sweet scent of revenge," he murmured. "It seems your journey has just begun, Revy Gray. But remember, "there is a fine line between truth and lies."

With a flourish of his cloak, Liar transformed into a raven and took flight, disappearing into the night sky.

Revy's third persona slammed his hand on the table, the sound echoing through the tavern. "What game are you playing?" he shouted into the void left by the bird's departure. The tension in the room was palpable, each member of the team eyeing one another warily.

Seyrin's gaze remained on Liar's retreating form. "We must be careful," she cautioned, her voice a soft warning. "The gods are not to be trifled with."

The team nodded in solemn agreement, their eyes reflecting the flickering firelight. They knew they were pawns in a cosmic game, but they had chosen to stand against the tide. They had to trust each other, to survive not only the perils of Reymis but the trials that lay ahead in the kingdom of the 3 kings.

The next day, as they ventured further into the city, they stumbled upon a bustling marketplace. The air was alive with the cries of merchants peddling their wares, the clang of swords from nearby duels, and the seductive whispers of the brothels' madams. It was here that they found the first clue to their mission: a map, hidden within the stall of a cunning old vendor, detailing the locations of the 3 kings ' palaces across the realms.

The map was encrypted with ancient symbols, a puzzle that only the sharp mind of Seyrin could solve. As she studied the parchment, her eyes grew wide with realization. "This is it," she murmured, her voice barely audible over the din. "The way to the Water Kingdom."

The team huddled around her, their eyes scanning the map with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The path ahead was fraught with danger, but they were united in their purpose. "We must prepare ourselves," she said, her voice firm. "Gather supplies, sharpen our blades, and restock our ammo. We march tomorrow at dawn."
