Nyx's Phantasma Act 2

Chapter 10: The Fate of Oksua

Chapter 10: The Fate of Oksua

I rushed up with Jasper to spot August, Rayth, Alina, Eloria and two other people with them.

I shout, "Wilhelm! What's happening?"

August nods, "That head."

He points to a head that looked as if it was stabbed into the end of a pole as people looked at it in shock. That's the head that Knight Jowell brought.

"What's the fuss all about?"

August sighed, "That aristocrat, apparently he was well known to be someone who would help the poor. But rumors spread that he was actually laundering money. People are conflicted right now."

Jasper nods, "We escaped."

I pointed, "Who are those two?"

August sighs, "Aithan Sano and Domino Newt, they are two from the mercenary guild that was hired."

Domino sighs after walking up to Alina, "Heya, last time we were enemies."

"You're that invisible hand guy..."

"That hurts, just call me Domino. This time, we'll be working together."

"Working?" I asked August

August nods, "The infiltration of the Oksua."

"?!"

Jasper looked shocked, "The what?"

"Care to explain?"

August nods, "I had a brief talk with the prince... He is nothing more than scum, but he told me... He said that the Ruins of Nyx don't exist in Centena."

"What?!"

"Yeah, apparently he searched all over Centena with no results."

Jasper shakes his head, "Impossible. It should have followed the pattern right? One in each continent."

"That should have been the case."

I sighed, "Don't tell me you believed in him right?"

"Well..."

August pulls out a small crown, "This is one of the artifacts found within my castle's treasury Crown of Dusk."

Rayth points, "Wait, are you sure you can just whip that thing around?"

August shakes his head, "Well no, this is a cheap imitation. Through the process of Wynite you can copy one's artifact, although the ability will be way weaker. It should still work, Crown of Dusk allows me to gain authority, that means seeing through lies is one... But as you can see..."

The crown, I then noticed that it lost its color.

"It's only one use?"

August nods, "The Prince is telling the truth. There is no such thing as the Ruins of Nyx in Centena."

Jasper shakes in shock., "But but... Then what..."

"But..."

"?"

August smirks, "talking with the prince, I noticed something..."

"WHat?" I walked in closer.

"The Prince, or Grimword knows the location of the Ruin of Nyx that was supposedly in Centena."

"So when you said..."

August nods, "There is a castle held by an aristocrat in Oksua, on the other side of the nation. Far left from here, Gille Port City. The aristocrat does by the name Mr. Rod-Wig."
