Legends And Myths

"Then when we finally found the rift, we made a route on where can we go. We thought it would be better to start from the first kingdom and travel around all of them. And since we saw the rift in the first kingdom and it showed the second one, we decided to check if there was a second Rift, that leads to another place. But as you can see, your plans have coincided a little and we met here."

He then smiled and added,

"You may not want to believe us, but that's all we've been through."

Caitrin then said with an excited and a nervous voice tone,

"No! Not at all. I really believe you and Tatsumi."

She said then while looking at her hands with a sad expression,

"I believe you because, when we were back in Aetas, Tatsumi didn't leave me and helped me to get here. He saved my life and gave my faith back to me. That is why I believe you because I want to believe him as he did to me!"

Yuma smiled and said,

"Thank you, Caitrin, since you believe in this much, your respect towards us is all we need."

Then he added,

"Okay then, let's get back to explaining the questions."

Caitrin looked at Yuma and Orano once more. Yuma's affectionate and talkative style did not match Orano's quiet and duty-bound style at all. But because they had been friends all these years, she thought it was normal.

She then asked confused,

"But I still don't understand. Tatsumi mentioned many things like "Royal Society." or a "Very dangerous water serpent", What are those?"

Yuma said,

"Actually they are not that hard to explain and understand."

He then added,

"The Royal Society is the society that helps all of the kingdoms around the world and it is obligated to do serve them. The most simple example is the knights around all of the kingdoms. Every kingdom has their own knights, for pubic services, completing the duties given by the King and finally Creature Hunting."

Caitrin got surprised and said,

"Creature Hunting? Can a knight, become a creature hunter?"

"Yes, they can. Since there is no law opposing the situation, they can become both a knight and a creature hunter. But you have to follow the rules."

"It must be hard for them."

"It is, but there are advantages of being in each society."

She asked surprised,

"Wait there are other societies?"

"Absolutely. There are three societies in general. The first one is the "Royal Society", which is the world society that regulates the rights to life of Creature Hunters and Sorcerers. They usually have the right to first intervene in all murders and similar events."

The second one is the "Creature Hunter Society". They are the people who take down the creatures around kingdoms and get paid for that. This way knights usually leave the job for them to not interrupt their business. Also, they have the right to interfere with a criminal event."

Caitrin asked confused,

"Isn't that's a knight's job?"

"It is. But since some of them are very good at Creature tracking, they sometimes let them do it."

Then Orano said,

"And they have the right to enter ships with a person they bring. You might remember that back from Aetas."

She said with an annoyed tone and sarcastically,

"You didn't have to remind me that."

Then Yuma said,

"And the final one is, "The Witches and The Sorcerers Society". Since it includes me, I have a lot more information about them."

He then added,

"They are the society that usually helps both The Creature Hunter Society and Royal Society at the same time. But since the witch part of the society had dealt with problems before and the leader of them is kinda strict, they don't usually communicate with people. As long as societies don't unite and make important decisions about the world, they don't usually show up either.

And they also have rules like, "You can't do spells in public areas." Or when you discover a new spell, you have to apply to society."

Caitrin once again got confused and said,

"But Tatsumi showed me a compass that you "invented". Did you talked about that with the society?"

Yuma sighed and said,

"Actually, I didn't. But the reason for that is, that it's not ready. Not ready at all."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm still adding new features to it. Like making it has a bigger range or making it work faster etc. I really want to give people something that works."

She put her hand on her cheek and looked at him with thoughtful eyes. Since Caitrin never came out of her village, this many information was kind of complicated for her.

She then remembered and said,

"Oh, Right! Tatsumi also talked about a witch. What is so important about her? Why do people hate witches this much and what is the right of witches to live freely?"

Yuma took out a map from his pocket and said,

"It has a complex backstory for it. But it can be explained."

On the map he showed, Eight different kingdoms were drawn on the map and their names were written on it, and there were Roman numerals on them.

Ravaryn, the first Kingdom, was located on the far left, and above it was the desert of Torox, the largest desert.

And just below the first Kingdom was the fifth Kingdom, Faye, which was twice its size.

To the right of the fifth Kingdom was Idrisud, the fourth Kingdom, and there was Besia on top of the fourth kingdom, the Third Kingdom.

The fourth kingdom was slightly larger than the first Kingdom, and on the upper right cross was Rawara, the biggest lake among all kingdoms.

The third Kingdom, on the other hand, was the same width as the fourth kingdom, but its length extended to the sea and had a triangle-like shape.

After that, The sixth Kingdom, Emperal, stood directly above the third Kingdom. This kingdom was rectangular in shape and was side by side with the Torox desert.

He showed the kingdom with eight inscribed on it with a Roman numeral and said,

"The story of the eighth Kingdom goes back years before from here, at the time of the war of Luroun. It is said that when Witches were living randomly on kingdoms and helping people, there were two witches, that were stronger than everyone. One was strict but kind, helped people in need of help, but done her choices and tasks in dedication and rules. On the other hand, the other witch always moved as one, and it is said that she didn't follow the rules that much. 

And one day one of the witches started to use "Dark Magic" to fight with her enemies and creatures. 

It was unable for them to stop her since the war was still going on. But after the war ended, The other leader "Rosa Marblemaw", kicked her out of the witch society and said she never wanted her Dark Magic back again. And after that day, it is said that she went to the eight kingdom to live there on her own. And as she left there, the royal society and the other societies made a legal agreement between them, and they gave the witch and sorcerers society the decency to live freely on the fourth kingdom. 

This helped a lot of people to communicate better and made the research about spells easier. And since the eighth kingdom was destroyed by Luroun's war, it is now covered with a very powerful spell that no one can enter. And legends say that the witch is still there. But nobody knows."

Caitrin said to herself with a sad tone,

*That is very harsh. I guess that is why witches are despised by other people.*

She then said,

"But you said one of them is "Rosa Marblemaw", what is the name of the second witch?"

"It is never told. This is why her existence is such a mystery."

While they were talking, suddenly many people gathered around The Ezekiel bridge and started to watch something.

Caitrin asked confused,

"Why are people gathering there?"

"I don't know. But it looks important." Yuma replied.

And while they were talking, Orano then got up and walked towards there.

Yuma smiled and said,

"I guess we should follow him."

Then they got up and followed him too.

They walked through the public, came in front of them, and began watching the event.

Except for the front of the castle, Where Orano, Caitrin, and Yuma were completely covered with people. And there was a red carpet in front of the castle. There were also five people that were in front of the castle that was waiting calmly.

Caitrin then asked,

"The one in front looks like an authorized person, but who are those four people waiting there?"

Yuma said,

"I don't have met them or saw them but I think I remember their names on the list that I saw."

He then looked at them and said,

"From left to right, it must be, Hiro Segyuu, Yonabi Tsukiko, Chou Yu, and Lamram."

Caitrin asked confused,

"Are they famous or something?"

Yuma smiled and said,

"It's kinda like that."

The person that waited at the very front, was a middle-aged man dressed in style. He seemed to be the one responsible for the area.

And for the other ones, 

The first one that was on the very left was a young male. He was almost six feet tall, He had dark brown hair and dark red eyes. He wore a red jacket, with a black shirt and pants, and had red armor in his arms and a long black sword in his waist. He didn't talk or looked around he just stood there and waited patiently. He had a very mysterious aura.

The other one right beside him was a girl. She was five and a half feet tall. She had grey short hair with silver eyes. She wore brown pants that covered her body until the chest area, a light brown shirt that covered her until her wrists, wore brown gloves and boots with protectors on them, had a leather quiver on her back and a dagger, and a small backpack on her waist.

She seemed more nervous compared to the other members, but not as if she was completely scared. As if something was making her nervous. She just looked around with suspicious eyes and looking for answers.

The other member that was standing on her right side, was five and a half feet tall too, She had blonde short hair that stretched on her shoulders and had green eyes. She wore a red sweater that covered her chest area and her neck, and she also wore blue baggy jeans with white shoes.

She had a confident structure. She didn't look nervous neither she smiled, she just waited there calmly.

And the last one that was standing on the very right, was a man. He was six feet tall, had long blue hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing a long coat with blue shoulder parts, was black colored, and had white on the end parts. He was also wearing a white shirt, a black vest on top, white pants, and white shoes.

He looked like a nice and happy person, but he looked like he knew something was wrong too.

No one could understand why everyone was so nervous, until another person showed up.
