We went into the game and found the others at the spawn area. We all agreed on meeting at the restaurant when we were done collecting people and how they got hurt. When we were ready, we sat in a circle. Mainly because we didn't know what else to do. And there was a large enough table available for us. After we filled in the people who were absent with what we had found in the VR school world, we started to talk about the injuries and theories.
"So, you are saying that everyone who got infected or at least attacked by the shadow frost can't leave?"
"It's what this looks like." Shito, or Shiela's fantasy character, answered. "I wonder why, though."
"Can someone at least bring up the book the clue was talking about?" Vin said, annoyed.
"Here is what it's talking about." Yaj, an elf, placed a book on the table. "I've read it already. It tells of a legend that six warriors will work together to bring down the tyrant king in a poem format." She turned to the page that was bookmarked and read on. "Does anyone want to read it, or should I?"
No one cared, so she started to sing. As she did, we could see the book coated in a thin covering of white dust.
Ones that are close,
shall come from afar,
May six arise to help us all,
May one come from a star.
See this now,
The hard won war,
A final battle,
A chilling core.
To work here,
one will be challenged,
For in this world,
Only few can be trusted.
Ones from afar,
Come to here,
Find the pieces
That we hold dear.
"Well, that's it." She said when she was done. She closed the book. "Does anyone have any leads?" No one did.
"Let's check around the shops. Someone is bound to know something." Luna said. We all agreed to do that and then meet back at the restaurant. The others of my guild went for the shops like most of the other players, but I ignored that. I wanted some answers.
Mental list: Who owned the sword that Avaros had held? How did she meet Amaros? Why did she say that she was made to be like Amaros and Zaros? And why does Zaros care that she is the heir?
Starra caught up with me. "Where are you going?"
"To the castle. We might find something from Avaros. No one else is going to be there, so we might as well." I answered, checking the map.
"You have a point there." Phil agreed. "But wouldn't it just be easier to travel with magic?" I stopped and looked at him. He has a point...
"So you have a teleportation spell?" Dain asked. Phil nodded, and held out a staff.
"Grab on." We did so.
"Wait, Naki and Dain, you aren't supposed to be here!" Starra said, taking her hand off of the staff.
"Come on, Starra. Let us off one day." Naki pleaded, taking her hand off the staff.
"No."
"Just me for an hour?"
