They are now standing in front at the borderline between the dune and the Kingdom of Sahhara. Loki turned into a lizard and hid onto the sleeve of Raye's clothing.
"Alright, may I have your guild card,"
Raye:"Sure, and here are the other two guild cards,"
"...,alright, you guys may pass, and also, Mr Raye Winston, you can upgrade your guild card from E rank to D rank, and for Mr Al Sevis and Mr Will Beurat, you can upgrade your guild cards to E rank, "
Raye:"Thank you,"
Raye:"Alright, we have finally reached the place we been walking for a month,"
Al:"Finally, I reckon we should get some food,"
Dusk had fall, the night has arrived. They decided to have dinner at a nearby guild. The building of the Kingdom of Sahhara are the same as Glauos city, adobe architecture surrounding the city.
They ordered steak and Al ordered a jug in the shape of a mini barrier of beer.
Al:"Ooh, now that's real good!"
Raye:"Alright, Al, what do you know about the incident that happened before we entered the kingdom of Sahhara,"
Will ate his steak as Raye sighed at Al not hearing his question because of him chugging down the beer. Al now have a mustache made out of fizz of the beer.
"About that, well...,how do I say it?..hmm...there is a myth or a folklore among the dune about an unknown entity known asthe fog, no one has ever seen how it looks like or knows how it really looks like, the fog is said to have multiple eyes that whoever stares or even took single glimpse onto it, they will burst instantly and not a single part of your body will remain,"
"Not even like a second to react?"
"No, this are all theories made by human judging from victims that suffered the fate of looking onto the fog, never thought the day that I would encounter the fog, thinking about back then sent shivers down my spine,"
"So if we were to close our eyes then we would have a chance to survive...Loki, you know anything about the fog?"
"Nope, never heard of it,"
"Weird, I supposed that I should be able to tracked down that entity's mana presence, yet I don't sense anything," Will thought to himself as he finished his steak.
Later on, Raye helped Al and Will to upgrade their guild cards to the next rank.
"Alright, Raye Winston is now D rank and Will Beurat and Al Sevis is now E rank,"
Raye:"Thank you,"
Raye:"Alright gang, we still have to head for the royal capital of the Kingdom of Sahhara, so lets get some rest and head northeast by tomorrow,"
The next day, they continued walking and visiting towns and cities along the way. Will had been asking butcher from each cities or towns that have butcher shops to butchered the other half of the behemoth, but all of them rejected saying it would take them a long time because of its tough skin.
A few days have passed again, they had finally reached to the royal capital of the Kingdom of Sahhara.
Buildings in the royal capital were same as the others in the kingdom of Sahhara, adobe style architecture. They took a stroll in the city before resting in an inn. The royal capital of the kingdom of Sahhara is pretty much the same as Glauos city in the dune, clothes hanging linking from one house to another, merchant selling items and roadsides, the lively scene is already a daily occurrence to them. The inn they stayed in is an old design. The canvas of the wall is mud brown, same as the outside. There is an old rug on the floor that looked very dark in maroon, showing that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. All of the modern inn is fully booked so they have no choice but to stay in this old inn. There is a vase that is empty so Raye rest his sword in it before entering the shower. Al laid down on the bed, exhausted.
"What a day!"
Will sat on the bed reading the book that he picked in the book store. He was drawn into it.
"You must love reading huh,"
"Only those that are compelling,"
"Part of the reason you learned black magic?"
"..., most of it,"
Raye came out of the shower seeing Al fast asleep and Will still reading that book. He smiled and wake Al up for him to shower.
-----------------------------------------
The next day, they decided to head for the palace of the kingdom of Sahhara, despite being in the royal capital, they still need to take half a day to reach to the palace since the royal capital of the kingdom of Sahhara is large. This time they decided to take a carriage since the royal capital of the Kingdom of Sahhara can be quite confusing.
Will looked out the window as Raye is having a talk with the driver and Al lighting up his cigarette. People walking at the side of the road with buildings covered the view behind. Suddenly, a man in a velvet red cloak, fully covered walked among the crowd which caught Will's attention. Will brushes it off and continue reading that book from where he left off.
