Chapter 5 - The true (glass) eye of the storm

[Story Quest: Mona 2] ('Paymon' as Paymon conspirator theory.)

About certain witch using a fortune telling crystalline ball.

*

Keeping Paymon to rest after a (festival level feast?) Traveler went onto fortune telling, entering the witch spooky tent. The female allowed Traveler to sneak peak where the Paymon go every-time when she disappear into thin air.

At first she was confused, don't understanding what she see, as if the image was beyond her ability comprehend. But when she start to freak out and Traveler reach for her touching her hands to put them off. Traveler touched that crystalline ball. A light flashed out the tent, and suddenly the image inside the ball got so clear that even Traveler can see it as if it was the pupil of the telescope.

Maybe she doesn't had enough power to put this trick on Paymon and touch from Traveler fixed that issue. But they bot lean closer to see…

.

It was a room that resembled a hive or a some mythical construct build around a magical circle in the middle of the floor, as some kind of hole portal. Its looks like a magical window that is always around Traveler. Like a magical eye that observe this Traveler from bird perspective. A magical invisible eye that hang around, floating on astral bubble generated by Traveler soul around his body. It feels as if someone just pinned a camera on that bubble to observing that hero action, whatever it was heroism or sleep.

The second look on this place reveal that it seemed to be leveled like a full circled Colosseum. Every next platform ring was further and higher. There was no way to tell from what the rings was made or what holds them there.

Main central floor was the screen area, with that portal like a big screen tv.

First floor was place where the audience were sitting watching the show on the stage.

Second was something like a hanging out area whit everything that are needed for a proper house.

On third was food warehouse, craft works and such. Wait… That was a Hilichurls mask and construction like towers in an uncompleted production state. There is no way they were making those stuff. (Right?)

On fourth they had a fully equipped spa. It seem that cleanliness is very important there.

The fifth and upper was resting area under the always starry night sky. Wait, those are not just a stars. They were constellations connected by line segments. And they were slightly moving. It feels like a map, or as a manifestation of the word.

But the most curious thing about this place that take off someone breath is; that this place was filled whit several Paymons. Not just one, two, three, five, then… A twenty was an amount that was noticeable at first observation. They were all busy like a bees on the hive. Some of them were very busy by napping like a log flushed on beach.

But one of the Paymons flow above the circle like if it was aiming for it. For some moment she (disable the floating). So the instant fall was like it was jumping onto the water pool, breaking the crystal clear water surface.

.

The Traveler and Witch on the tent quickly moved theirs hands of the crystalline ball.

A nearly moment after that, a Paymon pop up from the thin air and start floating in air. "Hi Traveler. What up?"

As both Traveler and the witch keep silent, and the fairy look unaware of the fact that they know; both of them silently agreed to change the topic.

The witch itself state that it was a personal fortune telling and that's means is meant for only one ears only. It is a fortune telling policy that aim to protect the fortune telling accuracy.

But Paymon whit smug face conclude that it was the love fortune telling and she start teasing the Traveler. Making smug commentaries about who that destined love interest shall be or what love net to use to win it over.
