It was time to leave.
rOrion and Amelia packed their belongings and checked multiple times that nothing was missing.
rKarteira was doing the same. Tiohr-nam already told her that she was to go with them, that seeing the world would be best for her.
rShe also received a blessing from the mother of the fairies, something that would be helpful in her journey.
rOnce they were ready, they walked toward the training area like they would usually do, but instead, their destination was further, the Realm Connector. A room that was once again filled to the brim with fairies.
rThey were here to protect the opening in case something showed up. Though, they wouldn't be of much use.
rOrion arrived first. He asked to remain alone until the time to depart came. He had a lot to think about.
r'I'll be using your ring carefully, dad. Just watch, I'll find mom's ring in no time.'
rHe asked Tiohr-nam before if she remembered the direction of the three remaining lights that separated from the pillar of light two thousand years ago.
rThe only thing she could remember was:
rOne fell directly north, the second fell south east of Eogis, and the last one followed the second one, but flew further.
rKnowing the map of Triazils, it was easy for him to approximately deduce where they flew from the starting place, Elliot's seal. The only problem was that Eogis merged with the mainland at this point.
rThere was considerable thinking involved to pinpoint the current locations.
r'The first one is the most problematic. It has most likely fell somewhere close to the Cape of Pearl Waters, at the tip of Eogis.'
r'The secund one might have fell somewhere around Noctelagia, one of the city ruled by a 'friendly' Apostle'. Or in the worst case scenario, directly into the the Carmel Sea.'
rSince it was on his way, he would definitely look around.
r'The last one might have crashed further than expected, but it should be somewhere in the Frigoria Plain.'
rThe most dangerous place on this continent. There was recurring corrupted hordes coming from this place that had to be dealt with constantly.
rIt was impossible to go to Eogis right now, for many reasons. This was too far, completely opposite to their position, just like Noctelagia, and this was the place were one of the strongest Apostle lived.
rHe remembered the water wall that almost caused his death.
rFour lights fell on the continent after sealing Elliot. If two were the rings of his parents, then what could be the remaining two? He had no ideas.
rThe only thing to do was to check and confirm what they might be.
rFour months, this is the time he had to move around the continent, and find as much help as he could.
r'I will have to trust that man, Florian. If the ring leads us near one of the cities he named, we will make a stop there. We have to replenish a lot of things since Karteira is coming with us too.'
r'I will test if what you said was true. I'll see for myself, and then, I will believe it. If I can avoid killing innocents, then I'm all for it.'
r'What was the names again of the cities again?'
rOrion recalled the part where Florian gave the name of the cities and their rulers. He began to remember while counting on his fingers.
r'There was himself, Florian, in Albriar. Olivia in Noctelagia, Eric in Turric, and Kamala in Hocride. These four. Better remember just in case.'
rHis enemies were the ones ordering atrocities, the ones torturing their own people, or other factions, and the people trampling another's dignity. The corrupted beings were obviously a priority in case he encountered one.
rThese criteria were absolute to Orion.
