"Well, we have to find this evil sorcerer guy, so let's try to find some info." Moxi says as I sigh. "I'm going to find a place to sit and relax, just find me when you're done with your adventure." I say as Attira quickly jumps on my back and laughs. "Come on, Malick, it'll be fun." She says as the other six heroes walk over to us. "So, will you be forming a party?" One asks as I stare at him. "No." I say as he glares at me. "I think they gave me this weapon because you were too scared to fight me. But you should really take it, the weaker people were supposed to get the weapons. I already took the money on your behalf." He says with a grin as Attira slides off my back. "Alright, let's see who is weaker. Come at me with whatever weapon you were given." I say as he smiles and summons a sword. "Ooh, so those weapons can materialize. Maybe I do need that." I say as he swings at me wildly. I easily dodge every attack and grab his sword between two fingers. As I lift my hand, I rip the sword from his hand. "You seem a lot weaker than me, maybe you should keep it." I say as I toss it back to him. "Moxi don't forget, we need to find someone to remove these energy tracers. That's our whole reason for coming here." I say as I bolt forward, jumping down almost 50 stairs. As I hit the ground, I roll forward and keep running. "I need to find someone who can help us." I mumble as Aziria's hand suddenly is pressed against my forehead. "Don't worry, kid. I already told you I'd protect you and your friends. Have some faith in me." She says as she smiles and pats my shoulder lightly. "Let's find this evil wizard guy, kill him, then go somewhere else." She says as I sigh and nod in agreeance. "Alright, I'll entrust protecting all of us to you." I say as she smiles. A few moments later, everyone else catches us to us. "By what those other guys were saying, this is prophesized to be a year-long fight to defeat the Sorcerer King. So, let's change that and kill him under two days." Lastis says as Attira laughs. "We're really going to throw off this worlds balance." Attira says as Fallyn pops his knuckles. "I wonder what level the Sorcerer King is?" He says as I sigh. "So, any ideas how we can find him?" I ask as Aziria laughs. "How about I run all over the planet, I'll find him in no time at all." She says proudly as Moxi throws his arm straight out. "No, we will track him down by researching all about him. Then we will find him, and kill him." Moxi says as I nod. "There would be a library here somewhere, right?" Attira asks as we all look to her. "Then let's find it, study up about his lore and legend. It should at least give us a general idea where he should be." She says as Moxi nods. "Right! Let's find it!" He yells as a woman stops next to us. "The library is right there." She says as she points at the building that we're standing in front of. "Not a word." Moxi says as I laugh a little. He quickly walks inside and Attira laughs. "That coincidence is insane." Lastis says as we follow Moxi. As we walk in, we see thousands upon thousands of books lining the shelves all around us. "So, how do we find a book about the Sorcerer King?" I ask as a man speaks from behind a counter. "I can show you where all of our books over legends, lore, and history." He says as Attira giggles. Aziria sighs and speaks up as Moxi follows the man. "This is a world of convenience and extreme coincidence." She says as we follow Moxi to a section of books. "The Sorcerer King and all info we have on him will be in this book." The man says as he hands Moxi the book. "At this rate, the Sorcerer will just have a heart attack and prevent us from saving the day." Lastis says jokingly. Moxi quickly looks through the book as we all investigate other books. I stare particularly at a book about fighting techniques. "So, he's on a mountain made of a titan's skull. A seven-mile-high mountain guarded by thousands of undead beings. It says that he's in the next country over, by what this map says." Moxi says, almost depressed. "So, no grand adventure?" Fallyn asks as Moxi puts the book back. "Looks like this will be easy. I just pray that this guy isn't a pushover. Aziria, can you please take us to the base of the mountain?" Moxi asks as Aziria laughs. "I'd have to move extremely slow as to not rip you in half by carrying you." Aziria says as Moxi sighs. "I think Sheeva also talked about that." Moxi sighs and walks outside. We quickly follow a he looks at the sky. "Let's just kill this guy so we can leave and go to another reality." Moxi says as I chuckle. "He should be that way!" Moxi says as he points in a direction. "Let's get this over with!" He yells as we all follow behind him. We all run behind him, except Aziria. She seemingly teleports in front of us, then as we reach her again, she vanishes again. After several hours of running we see a huge Mountain come into view. "How far have we run?" I ask, breathing heavily. "Probably around two thousand miles if I had to guess." Lastis says as I instantly turn around and stare at him. "Come again?" I say as he stares at me. "You are aware we run at least a hundred times faster than any normal human, right?" He asks as I shake my head. As I wrap my head around how fast we're truly running, we run another half hour before we reach the bottom of the mountain. As we slow down, we see a lot of zombies rise from the ground and shamble towards us. "Let's get this over with." Moxi mumbles as he cracks his knuckles.
