"We were once with the most powerful island, Dragnisa. And did you know, that same island, was this land. Tu'lakra." 

"You're joking, your highness." You replied.

"I am not, this is also the reason why Isolone is the most oldest land in whole of Tu'lakra. When the Dragon war started, we hid. We were no match for them. They burned Foryon, the most secured and the most strongest, stronger than us.  They have no match for the dragons. So when that happened, we hid. The other kingdoms fought and was killed in the crossfire."

"So, the Dragon war and the Death war was held in the main land?"

"That is correct. We switch the history around because no one was going to see it or believe it. But when people started arriving in the main land and started raising kingdoms after kingdoms. We have to show ourselves. We were starving and without your trades, we wouldn't be alive now."

"Wow. I have a question, your highness." You spoke. King Viktor turned to you and hummed.

"Is it true that you have guardians under Isolone and they are powering the land's power and escorting the fishes to Audunbast?" You asked.

The king chuckled before nodding, "Yes, that is true. And do you ever notice the tower you had behind your house?" You nodded. "Well, that is the entrance to the temple below, where the old Isolone rest before being powered and release by Ponial."

"Ponial is the ancestor of Windbrooke, right? The most powerful wizardry kingdom of all Dragnisa."

King Viktor nodded again. "Ponial, oh, sweet sweet, Ponial. Nobody can defeat the magic users. They are the best in handling magic, and mystery. Nobody knew where it was until someone went to the top of the great mountain."

You nodded, "how old are you, your highness?" You asked. He just smiled, "3,576,899"

Your eyes went wide after that and turned to him quickly, "Not to be rude, your highness, but you're THAT old?!"

"I am, and it feels like I'm gonna be the last. Once I throw the crown, I'm forever gone. But to see my people rise is very pleasing to the eye." He smiled again. He placed the book to it's original place in a bookshelf.

"I'm guessing you would want the whole history of Dragnisa." He added. You just nodded.

"I never actually thought that Dragnisa is the main land, especially since everything."

He then started laughing. You were so confused. "I just realized something." He spoke between laughs. "Tu'lakra is now exposed to every continent in Khorlaire. Everyone must have been so confused since we just disappeared and reappeared in front of every one." He laughed again.

You were confused still until you realized that when Ponial and every people in Dragnisa was alive, they never want to go and be a part of Khorlaire. Dragnisa was isolated for some odd reason. So when someone found Ponial, the kings made an agreement. To remove Dragnisa from everyone.

And now, Dragnisa or Tu'lakra, actually, is now open, everyone will be confused and started investigating. Let's just hope it's not the Vikings. They'll make everything worse than this.

King Viktor told you every little detail that the old island has, from the metals that made Scybury, Scybury. Or from the old conjoined kingdoms of Nalunia and Cinereal, Tainplains is what it was called before.

When he finished, the clock chimed for the evening and also the time for the evening meal, you helped the king clean the library for a bit before walking with him to the dining room.

Everyone seems to watch you and the king as you walked in. You shrugged them off, bowing to the king before making your way to Gray who's already eating.

Gray waved at you before handing you a plate, "Did our highness told you about the secrets?" He spoke.

"Well, more like a real history lesson." You replied, Gray laughed a bit. "But is this the reason why you guys never trusted the people on the main land?" You asked.

Gray sighed before nodding, "It's okay to lie if it will protect yourself and your home." He replied as he looked around the people who were talking and eating. You followed his gaze before nodding.

"I want to see the temple below." You mumbled in the air, looking at the window just to see the rising moon. It looks magical and full.

"I can take you there." Whispered to your left, making you jump a bit. You turned and saw him.

"Goddess Athena! Stop appearing out of nowhere!" You told him. He just smiled. You rolled your eyes before looking away from him.

"And I was asking Gray, not you." You replied before walking away, putting my dirty plate on the pile.

I think that made him mad. You thought as you heard stomping behind you as you were placing your plate. 

"Why would you ask him?" He spoke. You didn't turn to him, just keeping a still face and walking away from him.

Him, following close, still stomping on the marble floor. The clanking of his boots made you cringe everytime.

As you walk out of the palace, the night's air was as cold as snow that you shiver on the spot. He spoke yet again, "Are you cold?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I don't know. I was just freezing over here, thank you for you concern." You replied, rolling your eyes yet again before walking out in the cold air.

He followed you yet again. This guy is getting annoying every minute.

You didn't even mind him on the whole walk, you were just ignoring him even though he was trying to get your attention. Like stomping too hard or trying to make small talk. You thought he wasn't there in the first place, actually.

You both got to your house and after that you slammed the door, right in front of him. Serves him right.

You looked proud for what you did, before looking at your window. He looks like he wanted to knock but chooses against it, before walking away. You now felt bad but turned to another window.

There you saw the door, flashing in aquamarine and teal. In the moonlight, the door shows cravings on it. A different language that you don't know. Maybe it's the past language of Dragnisa. Or the Ponial language, Ponia.

It says. What does it say? You sighed from the thoughts before walking to your closet, discarding everything, your half armor, sword and your warrior cape.

As you were putting your cape in the shelf, you saw the same language, glowing in a darker shade of cyan. But you can see it clearly.

It was imprinted in the fabric. What is this? You just looked at it, confused and wondering. I might have to ask King Viktor for this.

You sighed yet again. I'll just tell him in the morning.
