From Another Horizon

Chapter 8

"Hmm, so basically you came from another world, and then you have lived in the Kingdom of Rusko but was assassinated then suddenly you spawned in this place?" the orange-skinned woman said.

The black-hooded man asked,

"Eon, what do you think about that?"

Eon mumbled,

"I'm not sure. The only way we couldn't fully read his memories was that someone altered them. However, even if it was altered, I should know about them since I'm an Arkeed unless..."

The Dragon suddenly stood up and said,

"Unless it was another Arkeed."

"Yes!" Eon answered.

"But we're not sure about that," the fur-cloaked man said.

Eon looked at me and asked,

"Hey, Jack, are you interested in sharing some of your inventions while I share some of mine?"

"Ummm, yes?"

"Then why don't you go ahead and stroll around while we're gonna talk about something."

"What? You want me to roam around in this camp filled with monsters?"

"Yes. Please, I beg you. I still need to talk to you about something, but I still needed to talk to the other elders about this."

"Elders... okay."

I didn't know why, but I just felt bad for Eon, I feel like he was a good guy. So, I did. I turned around, walked away, and went back to the camp and roamed around. There were lots of monsters. Most of them were staring at me. But what can I do? I'm a stupid idiot who left his weapons. I think I messed up, one mistake and I'm gonn—

"Hey, boy, where are you from?" a monster just called me. It was a pig-like monster, and based on her voice, I assumed she was a woman. I approached her and realized that she was making bread. I replied,

"Honestly, I don't know it either."

"Yeah, Eon told us a lot about you."

"What?"

"Eon has been watching you ever since you came here. You came from that Mingpur, the Crimson Mountain."

"Crimson Mountain?"

"Yes. That Red Mountain. Eon claimed that it was the place in which his ancestors have lived. But he was too young to remember that. That is why when the purging started, Eon returned to this mountain and established this camp."

"Oh, Eon was the one who started this camp."

"Yes, he was worshipping the Mingpur ever since the start since he's been saying that it contained the souls of his ancestors. It is not required, but as thanks for Eon, we have been placing our offerings and respect to the Mingpur. But no one was allowed there except for the Elders."

"Elders..."

"Yes, I believe you met them."

"They haven't introduced themselves to me, but I guess they were the elders. Eon, the orange-skinned woman, black-cloaked guy, fur-armored man, and the Dragon."

"Correct. That place was sacred. That is why... everything was all worried about your arrival."

"Is that why Eon has been watching me?"

"Yes, kiddo. The other elders were all cautious against you. But Eon was not. He believes you were something else."

"Did you enjoy looking around?" Eon said while he walked toward me.
