ELECTUS - Book 1

New Electus

Getting ready for the road, with Mogranius putting those clothes on as a first step, one conversation after another broke but this time the debate is less heated.

Mogranius started it off, forming the conversation towards the fact that Ignites were practically untouchable. "How did all this happen though? Our country [Occidentis Ignis] was always able to withstand invasions because of the Powerful Witches and Wizards on these lands. How did we fall?"

Well at least Woldemir is educated enough to be well informed with this topic, he simply explained. "As far as I've read, this disaster started right after the so called "Electus" passed away. Akareas was her name If I remember right, she held this Country together."

Garther fell in even deeper shock right now, the Debate wasn't supposed to be heated. He shouted, "What?! Akareas died two hundred years ago? Either you are insane or I went insane."

"I don't think that anyone here is insane, but something strange is definitely going on." Woldemir pointed out, getting more confused than Mogranius come to think of it. 

"I mentored Akareas." Exclaimed Mogranius so loudly that it almost made Eric fall off of the Wagon. If Cabbages weren't to be sold, he would hit him with one.

Thinking about the insane part, Woldemir started rethinking what he said earlier and found it appropriate to ask. "Does shooting those hot fireballs drain your noggin? How could you possibly mentor Akareas? She passed away two hundred years ago, I can even find you a history book so you can read it with your own eyes."

After that Woldemir grabs his bag and inside of it were several books. One was titled "Death of the last Electus".

Grabbing that book and handing it to Mogranius, he says. "Here you go, read for yourself. I don't know how else to convince you at the moment."

Mogranius opens the book, and after reading it a bit he figures that the text was copied from a Diary that was written by her second in command.

The writings spell out, "I am writing this journal with great despair as last night our Queen, our beloved Electus passed away as she was peacefully sleeping on her bed, she died at a stunning age of ninety three. She is no longer with us, but her spirit will always roam this great Castle. Crutal Town will remember the great Akareas as a fearless Hero, she was a worthy ruler indeed, a fair honest Women without doubt. But more importantly, I treasured her as my close friend. Akareas will be missed."

After reading this rather extensive but at the same time convincing part of the book, Mogranius got more and more convinced that Akareas actually did die so long ago!

"But how? I literally had contact with Akareas a few days ago. I left Town only for a few days, when did all this happen? This doesn't make sense!" He grabbed his head, letting out a deep sigh to ease his burden. It's not easy to lose a friend in such a way.

"You aren't the only one confused here old man, but if you seek deeper knowledge in this topic I can lead you to a Library ran by one of my friends, he is an Ignite and won't cause us trouble." Gently told Woldemir, trying his best to offer help to this kind-ish old man.

"Very well, that idea sounds reasonable enough. And I do have a theory about what happened, how I got here and maybe even how to fix this mess. But I do have another question." Stated Mogranius point by point, suddenly putting burden aside and going towards hope.

"Very well I'm glad we finally reached an agreement. And yes, ask as many questions as you please." Said Woldemir with a warm smile on his face, trying to remain calm as much as he could.

Having hesitations about asking this, since Woldemir seems to be in enough burden, Mogranius decided to skip it for now. "I will, but later! Now I need to think of a more well forged plan."
