“We’re here,” I announced skeptically Around us was only sand, as far as my mana-enhanced vision could see

Bairon, Sylvie and I all looked at Virion Our co a white pentagonal ns that I couldn’t make out from this far

“What is that?” I asked, curious

“I’m not sure exactly what it is, but we found several of these inside the Castle e first discovered it It seees of the past,” Virion answered, not taking his eyes off the sandy ground

Bairon let out a gasp “Youcity of Xyrus as well as the Castle?”

Virion nodded as he continued to walk in circles, waving the white lass

I raised a brow at Bairon’s unusual tone of ades now and again Much of the previous artifacts that helped the Dicathen civilization grow caes It’s safe to say that without the teleportation gates, and thecity of Xyrus, much of Dicathen’s lands would’ve been untas back when I was a child in this world, artificers and researchers all believed that the ancient y to transport themselves to another world, or had wiped thee-scale experiment of soested either of these two things, it seeiven up on finding out what had happened to our ancestors and slapped on a reasonably logical conclusion

After a subjective hour of searching, Virion let out a frustrated grunt “It’s not here”

“What do you35,651 steps straight while facing away froash on the boulder would lead us to the shelter”

“I knohat I said!” he snapped

“Well, inal position,” Bairon suggested, impatience laced in his voice

“Not likely” Virion shook his head “Buhnd exhausted almost all of his h and was buried deep enough so that the sand and ouldn’t shi+ft its position”

I scratched my head in frustration “Then what do we do?”

“I don’t think we have a choice… but to start over again,” Virion er as my patience reached its li our footsteps because you wanted to find this refuge shelter There has to be another way to get in”

“Well there isn’t !” he shot back, walking towards aze “You think I want to be out here after my entire family was taken from me? Huh? If it was solely up to my wants, I’d much rather march with my men, face a scythe and die in battle—then, at least I would feel like I’d done what I could to avenge them But that’s not what a leader does, Arthur When everyone else has given up, I’ht for the future!”

He stabbed a long, fragile finger into my chest as he snarled out his last words “So don’t you dare say this is what I ‘want’”

I stood there, speechless, as Virion walked weakly away Bairon’s expressionwinds quieted

“Wait,” Sylvie said, breaking the silence My bond turned to ure out what I was feeling I think the artifact that Virion is holding influences… aether Arthur, can you activate Realmheart?”

I did as she asked, thrilled at the prospect of not having to take this arduous hike again Igniting Sylvia’s dragon will, I felt a sharp pain spread out of hmy battle with the scythe

However, as an lighting up the world around me, my heart thureen, blue, red, and purple, I found so in the distance

Weour hike here because just less than a mile to my left was a clump of purple that shone like a beacon

I felt rin “I found it I found it!”

Sylvie’s eyes brightened at hts She immediately transformed into her draconic forround with her front claws

I flew ahead just above the ground, blasting a trail of sand behind me as Sylvie followed close behind

With our destination locked in sight, it only took a matter of minutes to reach the circular array of purple motes that represented aether

“It’s here,” I said, pointing directly to the center of the array

Virion hurriedly scrahtly in his hands He arrived and i the white artifact over the sand with an expression of relief

“You’re right This is the place,” he said, looking at the white medallion on top of the sand

Bairon arrived too, his brow raised in doubt “Nothing is happen—”
