The Guide of Argos

Chapter Five-Morningsdale

Falcon woke up to find that he was truly free of the bug, just as the knight told him so. He reflected back on the memory. It almost seemed like a dream but the coordinates seem real 48 -96 108(don't really know how coordinates work but this is a wild guess.)Funnily enough, the coordinates he said are accurate enough, as he's been to the city before and knew what this is. It's a wall built by the Ancient Ones to protect their town from demonic beasts brutally attacked in 700AC. However, legend says that these demonic beasts will rise again with the Warlord of the Rising Sun, having ancient powers that are thought to be lost to time. He set out on his voyage, bringing only the bare minimums needed as said by the knight. As soon as the rooster cocks(dawn) he set out of the evil laboratory and to the coordinates specified in his dream. What he didn't know, however, is that a certain evil doctor is tracking him, secretly hiding within the crowds of the city square and his scouts are everywhere, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Falcon left the city but he kept feeling that something is wrong, that evil was approaching near. Just then a phantom-like being almost got him with its Wispy Touch, which causes one to be slowly withered away into the spirit world, where demons and other evil beings dwell. A glowing bright yellow light blinded Falcon and caused the creature to disintegrate into dust. When he could see again, he saw that it was a young man wearing a wizard outfit floating in midair. He asked Falcon"What brings you here all alone?"

Falcon told the wizard all about his dream and when he was done, the wizard nodded knowingly, as he told Falcon"I don't think it's a dream. You see, there are all kinds of spells and abilities that allow you to project a message to anyone in the world. Heck, you could even send a message from an ocean away."Falcon wanted to laugh at the wizard. I mean, across the ocean? That seemed impossible to Falcon. Neither Human nor Elfkind has ever travelled between the continents before. Perhaps sensing this, the wizard nodded"I've heard that before. Most people thought that the Other Side was fairy-tale land, to say the least. However, this is an actually existing place. I'll know since I've been there myself."Falcon was shocked as he thought the Knight was a mirage. The wizard talks to Falcon for hours about the Other Side and when he's finished he told Falcon his name: Erin Nova.

After the wizard left, Falcon noticed a piece of paper in his pocket. Falcon thought  'The wizard must've dropped this'.:When he read the writing, and it all became clear: This wizard is actually a secret mastermind after all, as when he read the note, it showed a clear and masterfully planned attempt to overthrow the different kingdoms, and after that conquer the distant, lost continent. Falcon knew at once who was the "Warlord of The Rising Sun" now. However, when he tried to look at the note again, it disappeared, leaving only crystal dust behind as the document slowly crumbled to pieces. Falcon lowered his head in disappointment with not finding out any new information.

-----------Raymond POV--------------

As Raymond walked through the narrow and bustling hallways of the underground city, he noticed the Elf girl from earlier. She had asked about where she is, which he found silly because he thought that everyone knew where it is. Raymond tried asking her"Where did you come from, Why were you so close to the Kingdom of Laptis and so forth."Ileo(so that's what she's called) slapped his face and left shortly afterwards. Raymond felt a soft hand on his shoulder. It was his old master Icarus."Don't rush" he calmly said"She'll talk to you in a moment."Raymond responded in a fit of surprise"What? How in the world are you here. Thank Ethos that you are alive."(Ethos is the God of Luck in their world.)He answered Raymond"There's a lot you need to know, but it must not be here. I will meet you in secret at the South Tower at 6:00 tomorrow morning to tell you the rest of my story. Little did they know, Ileo heard every single word from her hiding spot and knew that something was up. So, she snuck out of bed at 5:30 and listened to their conversation. Icarus went on to explain "After we separated at Arlingshire,I headed towards The Elven Empire or Aoei'Eni in their language and discovered something that will make even our wildest desires come true."Raymond says'' This is bullsh*t. We would've conquered the world right now if you haven't gone to search for it."Icarus tried to calm his apprentice down, but at that moment, everyone heard a weird and eerie sound echoing off the sound of raindrops. Icarus said, "It seems to be some kind of demon or phantom-like being."

As soon as he finished that statement however a certain evil figure emerged from its hiding spot and instantly attacked Icarus. It grabbed him by the throat and said"Ah Icarus, long time no see eh." and immediately dragged him out of the window. While Raymond was still in shock about what has just happened, Ileo finally revealed herself from her hiding spot and told them that she knew who that person is."I'll tell you about him later. Meet me in the park OK?"She then dashed off before Raymond can even react to what she was saying. For once in his life, Raymond feels happy, as, before this, there was no one he truly liked before, but now he's come to regard her as more than just a friend but he doesn't know what. He immediately got dressed in one of his more casual suits, then started walking in the direction of the park Ileo was talking about. When he arrived, Ileo was already waiting for her at the water fountain. She told him about the mad doctor who was controlled by Argos and how the vaccine is basically a disease.raymond listened to every word she said but then its nightfall,and all of a sudden a mysterious figure in a white cloak and silver armor appears.He shone like a second moon in the sky.
