The Coming Storm

As I arrived we went to an alley where I got out of her shadow, and walked with her towards the portal, at first the guards stopped us but after seeing Seris they bowed down, and let us pass. As I entered the first portal it brought us to a place where Seris said was the second zone, and this is the real entrance to the Relictombs, as I inspected the portal, I saw people giving their identifications to the guards and asked her how were we going to go through.

"Just follow me," She said as she gave me a badge

"When did you prepare this?" I asked

"Don't ask questions and follow me" She said

As we approached the guards Seris gave them her badge, while I gave them mine. They nodded, and let us through. As we were going to go through the portal I felt familiar mana of the Absolute Being radiating from the portal, as I tried to touch it with my hand Seris snapped my hand, and gave me something she called an amulet. As I took it she then grabbed my wrist, and dragged me inside to the portal, after I went in I felt a surge of pain from my body as I nearly collapsed and spat black blood. I turned to see Seris's expression shocked in horror as she grabbed hold of me so I didn't fall on the ground.

"Find a place to stay for a while" I managed to whisper before losing consciousness

I woke up to see myself in an unfamiliar place as I slowly stood up, and scanned the area. When I saw no one I tried to stand up, but my legs didn't allow me. As I tried to get some potions from my Inventory Seris came and gave me a vial

"It should help heal you," She said as she opened the vial and put it in my mouth

As I took the vial with my own hands I started to drink it, at first nothing happened, but then the pain started to slowly settle as my legs began to gather the strength to stand up.

"What happened," She asked her voice concerned

"I don't know" I replied as I check the condition of my body and soon realized what had happened the RelicTombs was rejecting me why? I don't know

"Let's just start exploring the place," I said to her as I walked outside

We encountered a lot of monsters which were very weak disappointed I just kept on walking until I saw a portal.

"Do you perhaps have more of those vials?" I asked her

"Yes I do" She replied

Readying myself again if the same thing were to happen I walked into the portal with Seris, but instead of another zone we were brought into a space where everything was white, and it seemed like there was no end to it. As I turned to look at Seris she was also having the same confused expression.

"Hello high being," A voice said

Seris also heard him because she was already in a fighting stance.

"Who are you," I asked

"I am but a fragment of a soul," He said as a pedestal slowly came up from the floor revealing a crystal ball

"I was once a Djinn" He introduced

"What is a Djinn?" Seris asked

"It seems that if you don't know who we were means that the Asura's not only killed our people but also buried our names." He said as he sighed

"We were the mages that created the teleportation gates, and the floating land" He answered

"You an ancient mage" Seris replied

"Oh it seems like your people gave us a new name, yes it seems that I am an ancient mage," The ball said

"But you, you have a connection with one of our people," The crystal ball said
