They were walking through the crooked lantern lit cobblestone boulevard, bricks paved alleys on side winding like veins on tall buildings. People bantering with each other. As womans stepped out from their iron balcony, taking a fresh air of relief. Strangely the moon wasn't the same here. It was light blue as ocean.
"Is moon in hypothermia?"
Ender asked Ruis as they were walking around the busy street. He was one side of Leon as Ruis and Zack were other side.
"Not really this is how this world is."
Leon spoke in his banter tone.
"So tell us about this world, from start to end?"
Misha said with her curious eyes. Who was just behind them with Sara.
"Well.."
As a slight voice mumbled in their heads.
~ It better to say it here.
~ Huh? What this telepathy?
Sara who was confused and amazed as she look at them, even though it was saw for Misha too but she wasn't quite surprised.
~ Get it started then.
Ruis spoke to them telepathically.
They keep their footsteps steady as usual even though they were all telepathy connected.
~ This world Raiheart is composed of 5 continents. Each facing different directions like north south east west. Then there's a continent in the center called Heart.
~ Oh so that's why it's called Raiheart. Logical.
Ender stumbled between them.
~ Shut up asshole!
Zack said to him. As they glared upon each other.
"Well we should sit somewhere. Shouldn't we?
Misha spoke with her usual tone. Her pleading eyes.
"Well I guess you're right.."
Leon spoke while scratching his hair as he saw a restaurant on his side.
~ Well I would be broke but whatever..
"Let's go there then."
As Leon turned his steps there with the group following him too. They entered the restaurant, very few were there and it was peace instead of banter. The floor which was made of limestone beaten by their footsteps as they sat in dining table. The smell of cooked steak and latern lit everywhere. The tables and chairs made of ebony wood and there was another section upstairs. The stairs made of marble.
"Only drinks."
Leon warned them before they could wish for more.
"No way. I'm starving."
Sara spoke in her usual way. Before Leon can answer her and another blunder would happen Ender whispered to her.
"We don't need to eat."
"Seriously."
Sara was surprised by this again and she sighs and declared.
"Okay then.. Do whatever you want."
As Leon called the waiter and told him to ordered some green tea for himself. Zack choose lemon juice while Ender choose a herbal tea. Misha choose coconut water. while for Ruis and Sara it was a water and coffee.
Moments later there drinks came as they started their telepathic conversation again.
~ So now we will look where we are?. This place is called Riven. A place ruled by Riven family which is a royal family from generation to generation ruling here. Each country is ruled by a royal family.
Now if we look at the what era is it?. Well you can say modern age. This era is in, people utilize the technology here just like earth, but they didn't change their culture and class here as you can see the buildings and structures outside. Any questions?..
Leon started stating about this world.
~ What about the currency here?.
Misha inquired as she takes a sip of her drink.
~ Brilliant.
As Leon gulps the tea before answering.
~ Here the penny is called dom. Yeah the penny. 1 dom you can say is equal to 6 dollars if we compare from your world.
~ Damn we gotta be rich!.
Zack usual banter as he takes a sip of his lemon juice. Leon doesn't bother him as he continues.
~ 11 Dom here makes a yurum. Yeah, a yurum. Yurums are the currency here. And yeah this system of money revolve around the whole world. Now for the important things you need to remember..
As he continues by taking another sip of his tea.
~ People here are called Marums. Yeah there name in the way like you guys are called humans.
~ And they don't know about the existence of us astrans or just take it as a myth so yeah they don't have any special powers or anything. So please.. Don't flex your powers abruptly Infront of everyone.. And yeah..
He points his finger to a Marum wearing a hat drinking and chatting with his fellows. He shoots it and a light-green beam hit the hat and it fell down. The man didn't bother to look for it as he was drunk.
~ This was a higher dimensional attack so they couldn't saw it. Except us only.. But you must be thinking that why didn't it just the place or whatever.
As he continues with a pause.
~ The thing is that his whole place or you can say the world itself is covered or layered by seals. Each seal is infinite. And the whole is layered by unlimited infinity seals. So that our basic attacks doesn't destroyed this world.
~ Well I'm confused that you say this world is 6D. So the people must be too right as you say that we can't entered this world without awakening as it would collapsed our existence itself.. Then why?.
Ender intrigued as Leon sighs.
~ Well you're right. This world is indeed higher dimensional place but it's only 4D.
~ What?
Sara choked her coffee. As she replied him telepathically.
~ You said this world is 6D. You lied to us!.
~ Well you can see I'm an astran too. Basically you can say it's my trame that I lie and also that you guys can do speedrun in awakenings and that's why we're here. Otherwise you will still in awakening phases.
Anyways isn't 6D cool right?.
Sara clenched her fist but she somehow control herself. As Leon finished his tea as he spoke with minds.
~ Last thing is that you don't need to talk with strangers formally because beings, who are hidden in secrets. Entities and higher dimensional beings or even astrans of secret cults. So don't greet them formally or just maintain distance.. That's it for now..
As he leaned to chair. Everyone had also finished their drinks as they were resting now by leaning to their chairs.
As Zack does a hiccup and reflectively take a glimpse behind him. They're three men whose eyes were at the girls in their group. Sara whose head was down as she had wrapped her hands around her shoulders as Ender who was sitting beside her was also knew of it and was quiet as Ruis who was beside Misha was clenching his teeth. The unease environment was devouring them as Zack gets up from his chair and turned behind, now infront of the men. Zack had a flat, expressionless face. As he said with a flat tone.
"Is there a problem?"
His voice was so immense that Ender and Ruis knew what he was about to do. Sara wasn't surprised because this wasn't the first time he had stand for her.
In college when they were together. One day a boy try to teased Sara alone in class but surprisingly Zack appeared. He sent him to hospital the next day.
Ruis muttered to Leon.
"Back off a little."
As Leon moved his chair to their table. Now fro the men and Zack, his hair was scattered over his eyes as he had a blank face.
"No problem, anyways what will the price of those girls–
Before the words can came out from one man. Zack punched him so hard that he fell down. His heart was beating very fast as if it was preparing him.. To kill..
The other man charged at him but Zack swiftly moved and kicked one as he landed on other tabels and chairs, breaking them all as he bleed from his mouth. The other man tried to punch him but Zack grabbed his arm and twisted it, dislocating his whole shoulder. He tried to hit with another but Zack used his knee to hit in his face as he went flying to the counter.
The people were watching them in silence as the first man takes out a gun and tried to shoot. However Zack was so fast that he deflected when he shoot the bullet to another direction, not hurting anyone. Then he does a does a hook and when the man tried to covered himself with his shoulders. He ended up breaking his shoulder as he went flying outside. Breaking the glass of the hotel.
Zack stood there in silence as the shop owner cames to him.
"Thank you. These guys were very annoying and everyone was disturbed because of them."
But Zack grabbed his throat and lifted him in air, the man grasp for air as everyone had awe but no one dared to go near him.
~ This is all my fault..
Sara thought as she stand up and goes to him, despite others try to not to, she hugged him from behind, feeling his unreal heart beating in a such a pace faster than ever.
Zack eyes widen as he left the man and relaxed his arm. Zack had always thought of Sara as an little sister, she was more than a sister to him rather than a friend. Zack didn't thought of her in a odd way. He never thought of any girl in a odd way. For him life matters, as he fell to his knees.
~ Whatever I do. Messor Mortis is a part of me too.
Zack couldn't control himself when he crossed his border line. He looked more like messor mortis rather than Zack. D . Roy.
~ But I can get to live along with it. There are reasons for me to became a human rather than messor mortis.
"It's okay."
Sara mumbled with her pleaded eyes.
Moments later...
The three men were hand over to police. The police men and Leon were doing a discussion as everyone was outside. The restaurant owner was given a fund in form of check from the police as to cover his loss.
"Well.. We're done here."
Leon came to him with a warm smile. Everyone had an unreadable face.
"Now come with me. You haven't meet our team yet."
As they started walking through the latern lit cobblestone streets as the men were drawn to big horse cart by the police men. While Leon and walked opposite direction in the narrow alleys.
