*The next morning Asta and Shola head for the Capital Lands. As they are
heading out they stopped at a hub like area for others who where still sane.*

Shola:Ah here we are!

*Shola opens the doors as music and laughter fill his ears along with Asta's*

Asta:So this is the place?

Shola:Yep. This is The Round Hold. It's where us accursed gather.

Asta:Accursed?

Shola:Oh that's right! I forgot you are not cursed like the rest of us.

???:Wait!? You are not cursed? How?

Asta:I come from the outside world. And you are?

Mirrah:Oh how rude of me. I am Lady Mirrah of Lordrith.

Asta:Nice to meet you. Names Asta.

Mirrah:Asta of what.

Asta:Its just Asta. I dont heed from any land or family. I'm an orphan.

Shola:So you're deprived.

Asta:Something like that yeah.

Mirrah:Well what brings you here Sir Asta?

Asta:This.

*Asta shows the Black Blade and every accursed including Mirrah are shocked.*

Mirrah:How did-

Asta:I found it in the outside world. I used it but one of the Dark Empyreans, I presume the Dark Lord himself,tried to take over my body but I beat him.

Shola:Wait! You didnt tell me that part!

Asta:I didn't?

Shola:No!

Mirrah:Well if that's the case, are you going to fulfill the prophecy?!

Asta:I am.

Mirrah:Well, Sir Asta and Sir Shola. I Lady Mirrah will join you in aiding thy quest.

???:I shall do the same. I, Erina of Irythiadel shall help in thine quest.

Asta:Thanks. Well first me and Shola need rest.

Mirrah:Of course.

Erina:Its odd. Two separate duos combined to help with one persons quest.

Shola:Well not really a quest.

Asta:More like a requirement.

Erina:Indeed.

Shola:Well drinks are on me.

*Erina and Mirrah both have a annoyed look on their face*

Asta:Wha-

Mirrah:Shola its rude to buy us a drink when one,we havent properly introduced Sir Asta here to everyone else and two, I hope you arent trying to get us drunk.

Shola:No not at all. Why would you ask?

Asta:I think something rather unpleasant happened last time that happened.

Shola:Oh..

Asta:But thanks for the drinks.

Shola:You're welcome. Also ladies I didn't have any ill intentions towards you. It was simply a kind gesture.

Erina:Apology accepted Shola. Now let's drink!

*Hours later Asta and his newly found friends head off towards the Capital Lands to fulfill the duty Asta has been thrown into.*
