Welcome To Terra

Ch.18 Time In Terra

"Don't hold back and explain how time in Terra works." Leumas stated as the group watched the Token Spirit.

T.S had to go on and explain, this world had ten months, each month consisting of five weeks and eight days in each week, 28 hours in each day.

Each month corresponded with one of the Elemental Gods.  They were in the second month of the year. The month of Earth.

The months went. Fire, Earth, Shadow, Time, Nature, Lightning, Water, Air, Light, and lastly Space.

The weeks went by the Primordials. Death, Order, Law, Chaos, and lastly Life.

At the end of each week, the Gods hold the Gods Market. A gate opened at the Gods Alter in town. The Gods took that time to either collect Believers, sell the things they created for this world or they just watched the mortals like one who would go bird watching.

"Why have none of us noticed this gate?" Asked Pelle curiously Kol resting on his shoulder.

"Clearly none of you have gone to pay your respects to the Gods." T.S. stated as it flittered around the room. "These are all things you would have known had you listened to me the other week. But 'No' Mr Lord here, ignored me and went to read about the Gods themselves. It will be two more days before the gate opens next."

"We've been kind of busy trying to stay alive, collect food and water, not to mention learn about this place." Came Dread's voice with slight disdain as he was from one of the more recent groups added into Monster City.

"The library could teach you things. The things I tell you would be considered learning." T.S. said sounding snarky.

"T.S. Would you please post this information on a board somewhere all could see. Just the more important things. Nothing too detailed. Like special events, and things we need to do here and there." Leumas inquired as he stated more.

"It could be done per say." The light flickered purple. "I think next to the Lord's Manor will do." It stated.

"Very well." Leumas nodded.

Dread stepped up to Leumas and pulled him into his arms, holding him facing the same direction. "I would like you to consider staying in Monster City for several months longer before you venture outwards." He said into Leumas' ear.

"I'll be staying for now." Leumas turned and kissed the side of Dread's face. "If anything, I was hoping to have a set of weapons and armor customized for me before I began to travel." Leumas gaze landed on James.

James smirked. "I've got my work cut out for me then. But I'm pretty sure that can be arranged. Do you know what material you want used for it?"

"Use whatever you want. Take the materials from the item box the Tamer God left us. I'll accept anything you make for me." Leumas stated. "That goes for all of you."

"In that case, I will have some potions made up for you before you go. Maybe you can sell them or use them along your travels." Dean said with a frown as he pondered things in his head. Mumbling numbers to himself, the vine wrapped around his wrist acting as another hand for him to count on.

Pelle stepped forward. "I think I'll go to the God's Market when it opens." Pelle touched his stomach again. "If I'm being honest. I think having a little one would be nice."

Leumas smiled as he went up to Pelle. "That's perfectly fine." He placed a kiss on his lips. "I support your decision. I'm actually a bit excited."

The room went quiet after that. Dean coughed and rubbed the back of his head "So.. do they automatically become Tamers too, like the rest of us have?"

T.S. flickered white then answered. "They will have the options to become any Job class that's in this city. But unlike you who were given certain skills based on your job classes, they will become Apprentices first. From there they can learn many things."

"That works. So it's settled we will get the incubators when we go to the God's Market." Pelle smiled as he looked at the others.

Dread nodded. "I'm interested in seeing what this Bloodline Trait will do for our fledglings."

Leumas nodded his head and his hair shifted to a pure white color. "Something similar to this. They could look any way they want really."

His eyes went bright red and his skin went deep blue. Then he walked up to a wall placed a hand onto it and it vanished. "If any of the kids go out in the nude they could blend into anything and keep hidden. Honestly I feel a lot better knowing they can do this. Although it doesn't help any of you." He said with a slight frown.

Dread slammed a fist against his chest. "I am a Draconian. We are stronger than you humans. I and the others will keep Monster City safe of course." He said in a stern tone.

They all smiled and stepped up to Dread. "So big and strong." Came Dean's voice.

Pelle wrapped his arms around Dreads waist. "Feel free to use that power with me anytime you want."

James smirked, as he leaned up next to Dreads ear and whispered just loud enough for the others to hear as well. "The more power you put into it the better." He blushes as he pulled back.

Leumas leaned in. "We all want you to give us your very best." He licked his lips seductively. "I for one cannot wait." And he pressed his hand against his chest and Dread stepped further into Pelle's embrace.

"You're all so fragile and frustrating you know that." Dread placed a hand over his face and dragged it downwards. "Here I thought being gentle with you all was what you had wanted. I suppose I was wrong."

"I don't think I want to be here for what might happen." T.S. flittered out the door and vanished from sight.

"The little spirit is right." Dean smiled as he too touched Dread.

A stone wall soon blocked the entrance to the building. Shortly after grunts and slapping noises could be heard from inside.

It went on for quite a while, several hours later the room went silent. The stone wall dropped and several dishevelled men walked out followed by Dread. "I did warn you all that I could be rough. I am quite pleased none of you seem to be all that hurt either. I think I could be even more rough next time."

"I like the sounds of that." Called Dean. "I'm have some ideas I need to work on." He went over to the item box and picked it up. "Surprisingly light." He mumblled to himself as he walked off with it.
