Whirlwinds of Other Realms

Daresus, city of ice- Chapter 2, Part 1

Not far from the city of freedom, there lies a lonely mountain that has been known for ages to have constant blizzards with a climate and fauna that have mesmerized every traveler heading towards a new nation or perhaps a new destination. This mountain is also known for it's bloody encounters throughout the history, but only one story stood up among all of them and it's the story about a forgotten civilization.

As the traveler started heading south in pursue of the answers to it's many questions, he stumbled upon a group of researches at the summit of the mountain." Traveler from afar, heed not take my words too light or you will suffer the ruthless of the cold. If you wish to continue on you're adventure, I advise you to dress warmly, for there only awaits a tremendous amount of pure white land and frozen water ahead of you", a researcher said while stopping the traveler." Oh, come on now! Stop scaring other travelers that are trying to bring goods in the...", says another researcher. This researcher was a young lady that looked stunning in the travelers eyes. Only one matter doesn't sit right with the traveler. What was the name of the nation he left from? But the name of the nation he is heading to?. He asked those questions to it's fellow friends that he made not just long ago and they responded on a rather parental tone and said:" So, you are traveling to another nation that you don't know anything about and leaving a nation that you have stayed here for two days?. If you expect to find answers for you're questions, there must be a time where you attain yourself to the matter at hand and carefully absorb all the information given to you. Now, head back into the city and first learn about our nation and it's history to understand more of the world's mysteries.", the woman said as she was smiling with such caring eyes that melted the travelers eyes and made him return he's steps back to the city. After two days on the road, he roams around the city looking for more sources of information other than the young bard he just met and on a stroll trough the noble's house that rules the city, there he found a library filled with books. For hours he has searched long and wide for a book talking about the history of this mysterious city he has found himself in and finally found one. The book was so old that you can't read the title on the cover of the book and the contents are also filled with dust and yellowed pages. It seems like somebody has kept the history of this beautiful city up to date in order to look so degraded. The traveler opens the book and starts reading.'

"In a city far south, there lived five gods ruling the nation. Aelous, the god of wind. Boreas the god of the north also known as the god of winter. Eurus, god of the east. Notus god of the south and finally, but not least Zephyrus, god of the west. These five we're siblings living in harmony and each one of them ruling a zone designated for them. Aelous and Eurus we're always together everywhere you would see them, but for the other three siblings doesn't apply the same matter as the one's before them. It is said that Notus and Boreas started a war with each other's share of land, but not many have dared to adventure into their clash. The existence of Zephyrus is unknown due to the little existence of data. Many ancient notes tell that this fourth sibling was more to the shadows and less to people's eyes". The traveler continue reading until he sees the morning light shinning through the windows and realizes that he has spent a quite long time without rest, food nor water in the library just engross into the activity of reading. Later on the day, he went to take care of his physical appearance and not his mental figure. The next day, he did nothing but research more about the city of freedom's history.
