"Thank you, mister!&8221;
"Thank you very er terrified, youthful voices rang out as the two young Shades bowed their heads towards Dorian
"It’s nothing Sorry for the et out of here&8221; Dorian waved the his attention towards the city walls in front of hi their Solar Garden Deer prize
"So I’m in the country of Platera&8221; He muttered
"That doesn’t help me much&8221;
After everyone fled froed to chase down the two youths, while running carefully with Helena It had taken soed to win theave the, the youths had been beside theic stretching clothes had the appearance of fine silk gar him appear as a wealthy noble or merchant, perhaps one lost in his travels to the boys
The two hunters didn’t actually knohat planet they were on In fact, all they kneas that he was in the country of Platera, right outside one of the Fort Cities that dotted the landscape of the nation It wasn’t too surprising given their status as lowly hunters
Platera was supposed to be a large, sweeping see continent The Fort Cities were the place whereelse swar ildlife Most of the creatures in Platera appeared to be related to plants or flowers, or other types of flora
While the boys didn’t know anything about other planets or World Bridges, they did know that the local area was one almost completely inhabited by Shades
‘I’m definitely within the Shade Commune’ If Dorian hadn’t been sure before, he was certain now He sighed with frustration, worry filling hihts to hie city known as Fort Sutner
The walls were stark grey, perfectly flat with alot closer to the city,about This road seee forest he had just left, withback and forth
Dorian felt pressure appear on his ar ahold of him measuredly, her withered appearance full of concern and care
"It’ll be okay&8221; Her voice eak as she tried to cohtly as she tried to nod at hi?&8221; Dorian’s eyes lit up as he saw this, giving her a warm smile They were still some distance from the city walls and no other Shades were currently near them
"Okay Well, actually…&8221; She paused, her face scrunching up,
"My body feels kind of… sore? As if I got tossed around or soly
"Nope, no idea about that, ed innocently, a sheen of sweat covering his forehead as he gestured at the world around the on,&8221; He began, quickly changing the subject,
"We’ve touched down in a… hardly ideal spot&8221; Dorian quickly explained everything he’d learned so far as he continued to walk
After taking it all in, Helena froith hinize this nation either My Artifact was supposed to take us to Tomo City, like I said When space fractured at the Ascension Ruins, we must’ve fallen into one of those fractures&8221; Helena’s eyes lit up as she spoke, as if everything y particulate that the Capitoline Wolf Bracelet gives offa Sunder Field of Energy to surround and protect us That explains the enor of drain I felt and the constant attacks, as well as the support you provided&8221; Helena’s eyes filled with realization
"Right, right Yes, of course A Sunder Field&8221; Dorian nodded sagely, rubbing his chin as if he, too, understood what she was getting at
"But you’re right&8221; Helena bit her lip,
"Even knowing that… it doesn’t help us&8221;
Abruptly, Helena’s body shifted as she tried to stand up A faint Aura of energy began to for as she collapsed back into Dorian’s ar pale
"Woah, Helena, easy&8221; Dorian cautioned her as he pulled her in, looking at her sternly
"I’ll handle all of this, alright? You just rest I got this&8221; His voice was cou in theht&8221; Helena relaxed fully, allowing Dorian to carry her freely as she let her weakened body rest
"I’ll let you handle this&8221; Her voice was a quiet whisper, full of trust, as she slipped back into unconsciousness, her body fully focused on healing itself
Dorian looked down at her sleeping form and then up at the city walls He then looked around at the other Shades walking in the distance and gulped slightly
"Right I will handle this&8221; He nodded firmly
In al to get into the city The Shades in front of hi swords or bows
‘H Helena’s wrapped up body in his ar out, actually’ For the entirety of his time here in the 30,000 Worlds, Dorian had done his best to re toohunted
Noever, as he was in the htly different approach
‘Everyone is expectingyou would expect so for to do?’ His eyes flashed
‘Stand out’
It was finally Dorian’s turn in line
The gate that Dorian had stood in line for was large, at least 5 h and a dozen meters wide Dorian could see several thick ate, blocking it off at a moment’s notice
Beyond the entrance, Dorian couldin the streets, to and fro Most of them wore leather hides or plain linen clothes, siate This appeared to be a relatively poorer district
The few buildings that Dorian could see were all lass s or worn out doors He could also see a few kids running around, however, and the area seemed to have a lively feel
"Naht Dorian’s attention
One of the six guards that stood at the entrance of this gate All Shades, like everyone else Dorian could see Each guard wore a set of grey iron armor, plated and worn, with a short sword at their waist and a shield on their back
This particular guard seeate, his aruard that was talking to Dorian looked at hilazed over As he saw that Dorian was carrying a body, however, the bored expression vanished, becoo Montoya, frodo the body of my lover, a princess of Florin&8221; Dorian’s voice boo from his words as he spoke The air around hi Fate, to make himself seem as noble and authoritative as possible
"My purpose is to seek out medicine to treat injuries to the soul and to save ic sleep fro can wake her! My journey shall end only when she walks freely again!&8221; He finished speaking, waving grandly,sure this tiuard to see his response
Every single one of the six guards had turned to stare at him in shock
In their eyes, Dorian appeared as a noble, devout Shade hero froave hie stirred the heart and ies, my lord All who come in peace are welcouard bowed his head quickly, his body shaking
Dorian turned his head as he looked at the guard, his face suddenly incredulous,
"Don’t tell o Montoya? Son of the Greatest Swordcrafter in the 30,000 Worlds? The Black Shade of 7 Blades? My nalorious Com his voice He twisted Fate hard at the sauard in front of him
Dorian also pulled on his Law of Valor, a heroic, powerful Aura bursting forth around hi the onlooking guards’ opinion of hio Your nauard’s fault for being blind&8221; The guard s aside At the sauards
"Ponto, io’s arrival! Make full haste, do not delay at all!&8221; The head guard ordered one of his subordinates
"Yes sir, Captain Tobagin Right away!&8221; The other guard raced off, rushing through the croards a large castle that was set towards the center of the city The guard’s ile, at the Master Class level
"Please, Lord Inigo, atoday The City Lord will be inforuard’s voice was nasal as he flattered Dorian, uardroouard looked so worried and concerned that Dorian actually felt bad for hiuard, the powerful Aura that flowed around hiuise
‘Don’t worry, Helena’ He thought, feeling confident,
‘I got this!’
Meanwhile, within the City Lord’s castle, at the center of Fort Sutner, two Shades could be seen arguing with each other in a dining room
"It’s not my fault we’re supposed to cos of the Commune, we can’t exactly say no Besides, we don’t even have to apprehend the Vail&8221; A female Shade said as she looked at her corey robe eht Around her, a holy Aura see brown hair and grey eyes
"I know that, Patricia&8221; Gavin replied, shaking his head back Gavin wore a sirey robes, also enia that represented the Church of Light He looked slightly older, in his e staff that was hooked onto his back
"I just don’t understand why it matters in the Eastern Worlds This is the 10th city we’ve searched in as many days, what are the chance-&8221; The Shade abruptly cut hi around with a ss, Lord Gabito&8221;
"Good afternoon, Lord Gabito&8221;
The two Wizards fros, great Wizards!&8221; The City Lord was a jovial looking Shade, bearing a calth To be a City Lord in any of the Fort Cities on Platera required at least soth The country was full of powerful beasts, but also full of powerful Magic Herbs and rare Natural Treasures
The City Lord had a long sword strapped to his back and wore a relaxed pair of grey silk pants and a white silk shirt He appearedchin and a slim build
"I was just about to ask you two about your stay Have you finished scanning the city proper?&8221; Lord Gabito’s voice may have been warm, but his eyes showed steel as he looked at the two Wizards, apparently displeased with their presence
The Church of Light was revered and loved by the populace, but figures like Lord Gabito preferred to rule their own lands without bending knee to others It took a man with a powerful will to rule over the lives of the nearly 5,000,000 Shades that lived in Fort Sutner
"Yes, Lord Gabito We should be on our way soon We didn’t find any Vampires within the City&8221; Patricia replied, her words cool The orders had coo, from both the Duke of the East and the Church, to scour the land and apprehend any Va within the Commune
Another war had broken out with the Vampires, and while it had little effect on the Worlds as far to the east as their current one, it didn’t nore it entirely
Patricia reached into her breasts pocket, pulling out a ss
"If there were any within range, this Bloodline Crystal would’ve started glowing after we completed the ceremon-…&8221; Patricia cut herself off as she stared at the rock, her voice trailing off
The crystal was currently glowing
"Huh?!&8221; Both Wizards stared at the Bloodline Crystal in shock
Lord Gabito looked on, his face scrunched up as well
At that exact uard burst into the cha
