The forgotten World

30. The Search Begins

We all looked at each other, then we all grinned at the same time, then we all looked at each other. “Three, two” Venser started and then Gwafa threw up “one” Venser finished, seeing Gwafa throw up made me throw up and that made both Venser and Ral laugh “well” said Ral “it’s been an adventure, John, I’ll meet you back inside, Gwafa, if we ever meet again, it will be a honor to fight at your side once more, Venser should you drag me into a fight like that again, don’t vanish on me” Venser nodded “yah, sorry about that, I’ll guess I’ll be off, after all, I have a request or two to hand in” and with that he vanished. Gwafa sighed “one down, the scary one to go” both me and Ral looked at him confused “Scary?” Ral said. Gwafa nodded “yah, I got to find three people and tell them what happened these last two years” Ral nodded in understanding “what’s their names, I might know someone that knows them” Gwafa beamed “really?” Ral shrugged “hopefully” Gwafa smiled “their names are Gloria, Minami and Riku, if I’m lucky Minami and Riku will know where Nanami is. Gloria is a lighting Elemental, Minami is a Wind elemental, Riku is a Dark Elemental and Nanami is a Light Elemental, if any of you know of anyone who knows them, I would be so very grateful” Ral nodded “I’ll ask around” I sighed “if only I actually knew someone to ask, but everyone I would ask would have been asked by Ral” I turned to leave “before you go, what’s your name?” questioned Gwafa. I turned “names John, cya around, I hope” and then I left Ral and Gwafa standing on the roof.

Once I was out of sight I made the straightest line possible to the guild bathroom, I needed a shower, and a good one, and so would have Gwafa, he was wearing rags the whole time and sure being washed down suddenly with his water helped, but some of the goblin blood soaked through my armor. After my shower I pulled a spare pair of casual clothes out of my bag and put them on, scooped up my armor and went looking for a way to wash it. I found the place I was looking for with relative ease and started washing my armor. Sometime later I had my clean and dry armor in my bag.

I left the guild and went looking for accommodation for the night, I found the one I stayed at last time and was given the same room as last time, and I flopped on the bed and opened my bag again. “aww fuck” I murmured, I could not find my staff, I must have lost it when the goblins dog pilled me, and that wound mean it got destroyed in that explosion. I took a deep sigh twisted on the bed and laid down; tomorrow I would hand in the quest and buy a new weapon. I turned my head towards the window and watched the sun set behind the buildings, soon after the sun set I got up and closed the curtains and made sure the door was locked then I climbed into bed. I glanced at the clock six twenty.

I closed my eyes running recent event though my head again, losing my staff defiantly had to be the most painful one. I glanced back at the clock, midnight, wow, four hours of running stuff through my head. I closed my eyes focusing on sleep this time and I slept well; it was good till someone thumped on the door “John, it’s me Venser, you’re awake?” I rolled over and blinked at the clock, six in the morning “I wish I wasn’t” I muttered at the door. No sooner had I finished had Venser appeared on the inside of the door “get up, get up, get up, you’re not going to believe what I discovered” I rubbed my eyes “couldn’t this wait two hours?” Venser ripped the sheets of my bed and I instantly curled into a ball at the sudden cold “come on, hurry up and put your armor on, you going to love this” I sat up “couldn’t you just tell me what it is?” Venser paused for a second “I could, but that would take all the fun out of it” I reached down and picked my bag up “meet me in reception in five minutes” Venser nodded “you better not be late” and with that he vanished no doubt reappearing in reception.

I sighed and started putting my armor on or well it kind of put itself on once it realized I was putting it back on. I walked down to the reception and put my key in the key return just as Venser ran over to me “you ready for a teleport?” I sighed “I guess” Venser smiled “oh good”
