Opening 3
.
A few days would pass since Kachina's successful rescue from the Night Kingdom as Lucius and Paimon would rest up and continue to familiarise themselves with the nation.
For today, Lucius and Paimon would find themselves just southeast of the People of the Springs as they help ward off hostile Koholasaurs from two Sumerian scholars.
Karya: T-Thank you so much!
Lucius: No worries, came all this way from Sumeru, huh?
Karya: Yes, I'm Karya, and this is my senior, Viramdra. Thank you so much again for saving us. That was a little too close...
Paimon: Handling these sort of things is practically second nature to him by now. Paimon is Paimon, and this is Lucius
Viramdra: (sigh) Still, it seems that all the Koholasaurs just ran off... We need to capture at least one alive.
Lucius: Capture?
Viramdra: Correct. Say, I can see you are very skilled at dealing with them. Do you think you could use me as live bait to help us capture one? I will pay you for the effort!
Lucius: Uh...
Karya: Apologies. Viramdra has been hyper-focused on his research, so please, don't be too hard on him...
Lucius: I've had seen many Sumerian scholars like that so the sight is familiar.
Paimon: But why did you approach a whole group of wild Koholasaurs? And what's this talk about "capturing them"?
Karya: I'm sure we must look very silly... The fact of the matter is that we're searching for a mysterious island from a certain legend. It's said that a very important clue about the island can be found on Koholasaurs, so... Approaching them without the help of a guide from the People of the Springs was certainly an unwise choice on our part.
Lucius: Mysterious island?
Karya: Yes. There's a legend from the People of the Springs that mentions a mysterious island, and Viramdra believes the key to his research can be found there.
Viramdra: Ahem... Are you certain you two won't consider my proposal to capture one?
Paimon: Some proposal... There's no way we'd be willing to use a person as live bait!
Viramdra: Then I suppose discussing it any further will just be a waste of time. I must come up with another solution..
Karya: Ahem... Viramdra!
Viramdra: Oh, alright... You did rescue Karya and I just now, and I suppose I should express some gratitude. Thank you very much.
Paimon: A little awkward, but Paimon'll take it...
Viramdra: (sigh) We should move on, Karya.
Viramdra orders as he leaves.
Karya: Yes, thank you again. My apologies... Viramdra really doesn't have the best people skills.
Lucius: It's fine, you take care.
Karya waves goodbye and runs after Viramdra, leaving the two to themselves.
Paimon: You really don't see a pair of adventurers like those two every day! But anyway, Paimon's really curious about that mysterious island that lady just mentioned!
