The World Of Infinity - Ultimate Setup

Ch. 16 - Departure

During his 19 years of existence within the old world, Hael had been unable to form any kind of sincere relationship with another human being. The only living things he ever thought of as his friends, were the trees guarding his favourite path in the forests...

But now after falling into the new world, in a matter of days, that had changed. He had found companions. An odd archer, with the face of a raccoon, and a small girl, possessed with unrivaled imagination... had taken up arms to reach the same goal as him. Together they had one will.

The will to change the world.

It was an event worthy of a celebration. 

Even Hael who had been set in racing into the mountain, had set those matters aside and gladly went along with Carmel who was the main reason "a party" in traditional sense was thrown in the first place.

Thus the setting of his room at the inn changed into the most luxurious restaurant within the Whiterock. 

Within these new quarters the conversation didn't come to a halt. There still was lots of information to share...

"While you were asleep we received some information about the mountain itself too."

Hit spoke while sipping his brew. 

"While its just a rumor, it sure took flight fast... According to it, there will be a boss fight, located most at the top of the mountain. The speculations state that the fight will be open for everyone at the same time and its just a single room... Which basically means that everyone who managed to defeat the mountain in time can participate. Mots likely that will be a mayhem. 

It was odd... Things were certainly moving rather fast... Hael had some visions of what could be at work here but didn't bother sharing his thoughts. Instead he just nodded,

"Well that will be something for sure... As for our plan...? Im thinking we all should go and challenge the mountain with our own strength. Was it mentioned, exactly when would the boss battle be available?"

Hit replied, "In about two weeks."

"So 14 days?"

"No Since you slept two days the boss fight will open in 12 days."

"... I really did it this time..."

Hael seemed to be falling in his thoughts for a moment before slapping his hands together and declaring,

"Alright our next meeting will be at the final doors in 8 days from now."

Hit and Hael exchanged looks and fist pumped each other while simultaneously  going,

"HmmM!"

Next to Hael, the mood was different. 

Carmel was feeling a bit anxious about the plan, 

"I...I don't think I can reach the top so fast and if I'm alone..." 

Hael heard her quiet voice seeping worry and took her hands in his. 

"You know you are really strong. You can take on whatever lies before you, Im sure of it. And remember, The Twin Dragons only accepts the strongest. You better not think I accepted you only because of your cuteness. ("Hihi") Who were the first ones to defeat the keeper again?"

"You... and me?" 

She whispered with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Yes,"

 Hael answered,

"You and me together. Im sure the mountain wont let any of us pass easily, but I believe in us and Hit does too right?"
