"Let's say 500 km.
But don't worry… I brought horses and carriages to carry us when we are tired"
Akemi added…
"Where exactly is this forge located? The northern side where oldraken came from… there's a city there that used to be filled with master's who had reached sun wheel stage…
Hence, just think about how much magic is there!! That's why I choose there..!!
(A Few Hours Earlier)
"Where are you going? Are you okay? Where's the guy that attacked us?"
"So many questions, which should I answer… Gillian said…
Akemi who was worried asked as he saw Gillian walking out of the alley without a scratch on his body…
Some soldiers ran behind her holding wooden touches..
"I'm already, it was just a prank pulled by someone from my village who followed me here, don't worry, I'll take you to see him tomorrow…" Gillian said as he smiled and headed towards the direction of the mansion..
"Aren't you coming?"
"Search the area for any weapon that can be use in a fight! Especially for a curved blade…" she said…
Gillian mind was still clouded with the events that just happened, like he only had 22 hours to forge a healing potion…
Well, all he had to do was to sleep and hope to get there before anybody…
(7am-The Next Day)
Now where the hell is the dude who asked me here around 7? Gillian asked himself, facing the little wooden shop that was there.
"That's no way to speak behind someone back.. c'mon, have some dignity"
Steve could see that something was bugging Gillian's mind, but it ain't his place to ask, after all they just met..
"Forget about all of that, which way is the Forge or whatever you guys all it..
Which direction is it in?..
While he was still asking, he suddenly felt all the hairs in his body stand and instinctively moved his head to the side…
Something flashed right pass him, like a blade..
If he had wasted a moment in his previous spot, he would have been dead…
Same thing flashed right back towards the direction which it first came from…
"Nice reflexes" a woman voice said while Gillian was still trying to wrap his head around what just happened…
"Wait, you threw that just now? What is it?" He asked, moving a bit closer to the light skinned girl close by…
"A knife, Just trying to test your skill…you know?" She replied awkwardly…
"Alright, you're Steve right…?
Nice meeting you Steve…
Such a disgrace that was… she walked right pass Gillian, proceeding towards Steve and shaking him with a smile on her face.
I'm Joan and, you can call me your Grace!!
She continued.
"Wow, You're in stage 2, what an astounding achievement for a young woman like you!!" Steve said that out loudly on purpose, trying to grasp Gillian's attention to the fact that even a Stage 2 Blacksmith knows what he/she is doing.
"I'm In Stage three.
"Wow, Master stage…!! Joan replied with a smirk on her face while rubbing against Steve chest.
"Enough with the flirting, both of you… can we go now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, which stage is pretty boy is?" She asked indirectly referring to Gillian…
"That's Lord Gillian you're speaking to first to reach the moonlight stage in just three months.." Steve proclaimed, giving Gillian all the limelight..
"Enough with the Jokes, which Stage see you in?" Joan asked once more…
Still unable to believe…
"That's Lord Gillian over there Your Grace…"
"And who might you be? Didn't your parents teach you not to interfere In others business?"
"Oh really, you want to question the king for not treating me well? Go ahead then!!"
This was the princess they met late last night… sitting on the rooftop of the first shop in the city…
"You sure you're a princess at all?" Gillian asked, lifting himself off the ground towards the rooftop,...
Also, I never actually caught your name last night… I'm pretty sure you knew mine, after all I was the star of last night!!
"Enough with the bragging, I'm Cerene and I'm also in Pro Stage like that girl over there.. Joan I presume?" She asked..
Alright guys… let's go..
Akemi said as she walked in.. her carriage and soldiers were far behind her.. but nevertheless they all had one destination..
The Silver Forge
"Hold on a sec General, are we going to work there or are we apprentice?" Cerene asked as she flew down from the roof top..
"Both!! Now hurry along.."
They All left the city, two In pro stage, one in Master stage and obviously the last…
Lord Gillian.
"How far exactly is the forge from here?" Steve asked bringing out his hand fan and folding one hand in his back…and the other in his front…
"Let's say 500 km.
But don't worry… I brought horses and carriages to carry us when we are tired"
Akemi added…
"Where exactly is this forge located? The northern side where oldraken came from… there's a city there that used to be filled with master's who had reached sun wheel stage…
Hence, just think about how much magic is there!! That's why I choose there..!!
Now enough questions and walk…! I'll explain everything for you guys when we get there" we good?"
"Yeah I guess!" Only Gillian replied!!
As they went further, the Air there began hard to breathe in, because they were ascending up the mountain.
It was the only way to get through without waiting for too long.
But nothing happened to Gillian, he was just as they Left… not tired weak, he was just sweating…
"Ahh my head!!" Gillian felt a large ache In head, causing him to roll down hitting his back again the carriage.
They all followed shortly, descending off the mountain towards Gillian.
It was like he saw memories of himself, a life he never lived…
That was the problem…. When Gillian died.. his body wasn't the only thing that was respawned..
His memories came along with it.
