A/N: Wow. 2 weeks ago I was saying thanks for 100 reads, and now I'm at 600. Thank all of you for your support, I couldn't do this without your reads and feedback.
Last chapter, Seric and Karia were traveling to an unknown location and Karia explained her blessing, "Carry Me On" to Seric and the origin of her Spirit Of Kodan. They now see their next destination in the far distance which Karia calls "The First Trial".
Seric's P.O.V
"Would that "Trial" happen to be one of the ones you were talking about back at Vegahold?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, I didn't explain what the trials are yet did I. Oops." She responds innocently.
"It's alright, I should have asked you earlier anyways. Can you explain the general idea right now?"
"There should be just enough time to. Oh wait, I almost forgot about our new clothes". Karia interrupts herself as she takes my pair of clothes off of a metal counter and hands them to me.
"I'll be in the washroom changing, you can just change out here. I know it's tempting but you better not peak." She laughs as she walks down into the lower part of the boat.
"Well I mean, I guess there's no other boats out here. But still though..." I think to myself as I take one last look around and quickly start to get changed into my new set of clothes in broad daylight.
I go to the mirror next to me which is a screen a bit bigger and wider than me. I'm pretty impressed as the screen allows you to view yourself in it with a high-tech camera. Also with the benefits of being able to zoom in and out, taking full scale pictures of yourself.
The clothes Karia got me was first a navy blue t-shirt which has the name "Tirion" imprinted on the front in big capital white letters with a thumbs up underneath it.
The rest were were flexible black jeans, black socks and navy blue running shoes.
I'm happy with them considering she got them from a passerby Bazaar.
"Hey, I'm coming up now. I hope you're done". Karia says after a few minutes emerging from the washroom.
Her clothes look similar to mine being a simple purple t-shirt with 3 horizontal rows of black diamond patterns across the front. Also with a pair of navy-blue jeans, simple white socks and running shoes.
"Looks like I picked out the right clothes for you." Karia complements me and herself.
"You're looking good as well. Thanks for buying them by the way."
I respond with a slight blush on my face, as Karia's "features" were quite noticeable through these thinner clothes.
"No problem. Anyways I don't know about the other four territories, but in the Hopian area at least there's a total of six of these trials. The trials are small cave entrances that no one has ever been able to enter because of some stupid doors that aren't even locked."
"Well what's the catch?"
"While the doors aren't locked, anyone who's ever tried to open any of them were instantly killed when they touched it." Karia says semi darkly.
