Terraria | MAGE CLASS

Chapter 9 Gate

A world where there are no monsters that will chase after you with the malicious intent of taking your very precious life. I didn't mind it at first when i read the book as i thought that it might be just one of the fairytale books that its purpose is to mainly entertain children and make them dream something big and fascinating, but now that i think about it again, i couldn't help but question if such a peaceful world really exist. If goblin world, etherian world and martian world are existing, then does that mean it is possible for any other kind of world to actually exist?

If there are actually other worlds that exist aside from the world I've known then maybe, the world with just human and animal would be the most peaceful world amongst them all. That kind of world might actually what other people called a utopia.

"It is just too good to be true." I said to myself as i lay down on the bed while hugging the book, my tired eyes staring at the windows that shows the beautiful sight of the starry night and the crescent moon. "Why would Ian give something like this to me. Does he think I'm just a little girl to be needing a fairytale book?" A soft sigh escaped my mouth, slightly irritated as i finally realized what Ian think of me. To be treated by your rival as nothing but a little girl, how disrespecting.

Even with the irritation slowly building up within me, It wasn't too long until i found myself thinking on how would such a peaful place looked like. Would the world have no violent? Would i no longer have to fear anything if i were to live in a place as peaceful as that? Even i myself don't know the answers to that questions. But even if a place like that truly exists, i know fully well that someone like me wouldn't have the right to live or let alone set on foot to that peaceful world.

With bunch of thoughts troubling my mind, it was a suprise that i even managed to get a proper sleep that night.

The next day, I woke up to the chirping sounds of the birds singing just outside the window. While listening to the relaxing sound, i rub my eyes and stretched out my hand for a minute before i was finally able to get the strength and energy to get up and look around. As my eyes observe my surrounding, i noticed that I was the first one to wake up between Owen and I, while Wendy seems to have already went back to its home-the golden chew toy. One thing i noticed about Wendy is, the fox seems to be always sleeping during day while at night it was pretty energetic. As i dont want to bother my sleeping friend, i quietly left the place and went to Terastaurant to have a breakfast.

After finally having my breakfast, I exited the restaurant and finally go on my destination-the castle. Yesterday, right before we were all dismissed, Edmund Cromwell instructed us to come back early in the morning as we didn't have much time to slack around. That is why I'm currently heading right now to the majestic castle.

As i was walking on the street, i noticed the usual lively atmosphere of the oblivious people around which confirmed my suspicion that most of people here didn't have a single idea yet on what was about to transpire tomorrow night. There was this feeling deep inside me that wants to tell the happy and easygoing people around me about the disaster that were about to occur but i resisted myself as i know there is reasons as to why the king haven't informed them yet about the upcoming disaster and as to why he haven't evacuated the residents yet.

There must be a reason why...

It wasn't too long until i was finally in the arranged place for gathering. The planning were held at the different part of the castle this time, which i assumed to be exclusive only to us terrarians and some high ranked knights. At first, i thought all of the terrarians were just the same numbers as the people from yesterday but then soon realized that some people seems to have decided to not come.

Did they really back down at last minute? Or maybe they are just late but then again, it could be interpreted as an insult or disrespect to his majesty if that really is the case. It is more likely that they back down rather than being late. If it weren't for his Majesty giving us option as to whether we accept the offer or not, backing down would definitely be more disrespectful than being late.

"Pfftt, it looks like more terrarians turned out to be a coward. Why did they even accept the mission in the first place if they won't show up today." A grumpy-looking guy, who seems to have just arrived as well, said as soon as he saw the noticeable difference in numbers of people compared to yesterday.

"Maybe there are just late, Fildo." Following beside the bearded grumpy-looking guy was another person that wears eyeglasses. I immediately recognized the second guy as the person who responded to the King yesterday on who remembered the event that happened almost two weeks ago.

Finally ignoring the two guys, i looked around the crowd of people, hoping to at least see a glimpse of my missing rival but to no avail.

I only then noticed that the princess herself is also here in the gathering. She's heavily guarded with 5 knights. Kinda funny to think that the princess accepted the mission with bravery while the other terrarians cowered in fear and fled away from the danger.

I just gave the thought a sigh and decided to change my attention into something else. As i was in the corner of the group terrarians, some people caught my attention muttering something. I was curious as to what was it all about so I quietly stepped closer to them. Fortunately, no one made a fuss of my definitely suspicious action and instead some of them surprisingly did the same thing, having their interest piqued by the topic that was being discussed.

"Oi! Isn't that Henry?" Someone suddenly called out a familiar name that piqued almost everyone's attention.

Question of the day: If there's one thing you wanted to change in terraria, what would it be?

Author's Note: Ahh my writing ability is getting rusty, is this the effect of getting back to school? Sorry for the short chapter, i know i promised to upload twice a week and a longer chapter but i wasn't able to do it because of how the busy the first week of the school is. Just first week of the school and teachers already bombarded us with tons of homework to do.

Also I'm not the type of writer that are good when it comes to planning and describing the exact action that were happening so I'm little overwhelmed on what to do to the other next few chapters especially the scenario of the disaster.
