Collided Fate: Book 1

Chapter 39: Giant Boar

I tossed a coin onto the ground. Julie, Mari, and Canneta came from the corner.

"You guys carry them through." I pointed at the door.

"While you guys are doing that I'll put everything back and leave." I opened the doors where everyone was leading to the route.

I rushed back up the stairs and placed the floorboards back in place. I looked over at the entrance and Skylark already left through the dark corridor. I turned back to the statue and took the jewels from the crown. The statue returned to its original position. I placed the ruby back where we found it.

"Asurmaru where did you guys find the sapphire." I asked inside my head as I ran to the room that Asurmaru and Nolan searched through.

"Uh...so notice how there are some desks on the ceiling and the things covering the carpet?" I looked at my feet and it was a Suane worm.

"This 'thing' is called snow." I sighed.

"Well I never saw snow before." She responded.

"Yes you have. You've seen it through your eyes and when we were at Milfar." I reminded.

"Oh yeah." She laughed.

"Asurmaru where did you find the sapphire." I urged.

"One of the desk on the ceilings have an X on the floor beneath it, find that." She instructed.

I moved through the snow.

"So which desk was it under in?" I asked.

"Um I think it was the one next to the left corner." She answered.

Fixing this might be difficult, I thought. I got under the desk and started parting the snow.

I found the X mark.

"Okay I found it." I said.

"Move six steps to the right." I moved the snow back and moved six steps to the right.

I moved the snow and found a slot of the sapphire and placed it. I fixed the snow to make it look like how I came in. I left the room and got out of the cathedral with a dark corridor. Once I got through I closed the doors. Nolan and Asurmaru had already got a fire going. Julie walked up to me with old bandages in had soaked in blood.

"So how did it go?" She asked.

I looked at Nolan and he nodded.

"Well there might have been a few errors but we can't do anything about that so I'd call it a success." Asurmaru burned the bandages to ashes.

"What do you mean errors?" Mari asked.

"Well let's see the monsters, the seal Art and the Ortalasis Art to redo but I couldn't do that and didn't have enough time." I answered.

"What do you mean by that?" Julie questioned.

"Well I could have easily put the monsters presence on their post but that would be strange. I also couldn't have redo the lightning seal Art." I sighed.

"Why is that?" I lifted up two fingers.

"There really wasn't much of a point to do since the Art would've been stronger than what we saw. My other reason is because it seems like fun." I explained.

"Lightning seal Arts get weaker over time. If Asher did the seal again it would be strange for it to suddenly be stronger than it was before. So it would be easily noticed." Nolan said for me.

But its age is strange, I thought to myself.

"On top of that the lightning seal Art is seemed to be only affect by outsider so even the caster wouldn't really notice it...unless they bring another prisoner." I added.
