The sudden scare sent a shiver down Duone's spine.
The owl monster took off it's mask:"Anyways, hello there! Im the town elder, Kraul! Who might you be, young lad?" the very owl themed old man turns out to be the man he was searching for, the Town Elder!
Duone answers:"J-jeez, that scared the heebie jeebies out of me! But uh, alright, my name's Duone, nice to meetcha, you're the prawn melter, right?"
Kraul looks at him very annoyed:"Im the TOWN ELDER! Not the sean cellar or whatever you kids spout these days..!"
Duone laughs and says:"It was a joke!"
"Anyways, yes, I am the Town Elder, are you a traveler? I have never seen you before..." he pokes him with a walking stick.
Duone thinks for a second and tells him:"I guess you could call me a traveler! Thing is, I want to know what's going on in this world, I have got some kind of amnesia or something? So basically, I came to you for a mind cleaning!"
Duone feels proud in his own cleverness to cover up that he literally does not have a clue what he's supposed to do.
The elder sits down:"Well, there have been a few problems these past few years, BIG problems, there once was a famous company called CombiCo."
Duone sits down on the ground and continues to listen, the elder tells him:"CombiCo. has been using a method to somehow combine two living beings! Its like fusing two objects, take a fork and a spoon and you get something entirely new almost! A spork! Their first experiments shown to the public were things such monstrous poor creatures such as a "Chickcow" or a "Axolomeon", they didn't look well, just unhealthy and in pain, but the public loved it, it was something new, something useful for humans even, but then..."
He looks more uncomfortable:"They have tried this method with humans... They took two people and used them for these experiments used on animals, it was told that there were so many "mistakes" they had to kill and burn them all."
Kraul looks more serious:"But then eventually, they've finally created a fused being, they had to take two halves of two people and a "secret ingredient" to do it, the public was ecstatic, they were so amazed by this monstrous thing, how stupid... The newly made human though, has not felt positive about this, it itself was disgusted by all of these humans, and so, this monstrous human killed everyone at CombiCo., a whole city, no, even almost a whole land! It was so enraged by humankind, it has created its own Cult or Organisation called "Contra Zent", he recruited 4 People as his commanders, their titles are:
The Blue Flame soaked in Silence
The Insane Inventor of Lightspeed
The Puppeteer of Souls and Cards
and, The Poisonous Kiss of Dominance, and he himself,
The Dark Thunder God."
Duone stops him and stands up:"Jeez, why does he hate us this much? What's his problem?!"
Kraul then stops him:"He called humanity foolish and stupid, and he plans to eradicate it, he's already taking over this world as we speak!"
Duone shouts at the old man aggressively:"No way!! Not if I'm there to stop it!! Where can I find that thing?! I'll kick his butt!!!"
Kraul shouts back:"YOUNG MAN! If you think you or me, measly humans, can beat him, then I think you've got some Therapy to go to!!"
Duone creates Ice on his fists out of anger:"Well what if I WASN'T a measly human!! I'm more than your hyperactive stupid kid!! I WILL BE YOUR HERO!!!!"
The old man Kraul stays silent for a second and notices the ice on Duone's arm:"...I see, say, that Ice on your arm, how did that get there?
Duone takes notice of it too:"Oh that? It just appears sometimes, dunno why..."
"Let me check it please." Kraul asked, Duone moves closer to get it examined.
"Hmm... Yes, that's it! You, young man, have Prozent!"
Duone looks worried:"Uhm... Sooo when do I die?
Kraul looks ridiculed:"No! You won't die because of that, I'm ALMOST sure of it, the only thing I know about it is that it gives you a special power depending on your personality or something like that."
The young banana haired man asks:"Can I find someone somewhere near here with more Info about this? Maybe even... AN ALLY FOR MY JOURNEEEEEY????" he says annoyingly as he moves as close as he can to Krauls face with a stupid smile.
Kraul pushes him away:"Yes, I know someone, but I don't know if he'll actually join you, have you been on the path here? If so, then have you seen a sign with "Trial of Luck" engraved on it?"
Duone thinks for a second:"Oh! Yes I remember! I wanted to go there after I went here, but lotsa Jazz happened, heh..." he scratches the back of his head nervously.
"Head there, he will tell you how to control that power, he owns a Prozent himself! But before you head to him, prepare yourself okay? You'll need it... Oh! By the way..."
Kraul reaches into a chest, taking out some old leather armor and handing it to Duone:"Here, this might just help on your journey."
"Oh thanks old owl dude! That's nice of you!" says Duone thankingly as he put the armor on.
"It doesn't protect your torso, but it should still be sturdy enough." comments Kraul.
Duone goes to the door:"Okay old dude, thanks for all that! I'm gonna go meet that Trail of Pluck guy now, see ya!" he runs out of the door, happy and joyingly as he is.
Kraul sighs:"Young people need to learn respect these days..." he closes the door.
----------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, at the place where the "Trial of Luck" takes place, a figure lurks beneath the shadows, waiting for the hero's arrival:"Hehehe... That stupid Banana Head won't know what's coming for him, he'll be assassinated only by me, Weebinja!!"
