The World Behind The Arch

Chapter 6

[Knock Knock]

The girl came in, she seemed to feel guilty and worried.

"Ziz I'm sorry to tell you this after your friend took a beating but ... I need you to pay for the repair of the windows and doors, that would be 12000 Stallin."

"12000! To hell with the money, and now we have a debt," the boy thought when he heard the amount the girl had asked him. "Take this," he said, handing her the bag with the 10,000 Stallin, "There are 2000 left, we will return them as soon as we have money."

"No problem, with this I'll be able to pay for two windows and one door."

"Thanks for your understanding," said the boy. "Ehm ... How do you know my name?"

"Garudo told me about it, he also explained to me your journey through the hot desert, the long meadows and the frozen peaks to protect the virtue of a girl from one glasses son of a bitch," the girl explained without going into detail about what Garudo had made up to look cool.

"She deserves the best."

"How nice! I wish my boyfriend would tell me things like that," the girl exclaimed.

"I see...Could you leave me alone? I need to think."

The girl left the room; Ziz climbed on top of Garudo and began slapping him to wake him up.

"Garudo wake up, son of a bitch! I just lost money in a stupid way."

"You did what!? Did I get beaten up for nothing!?" He yelled, waking up suddenly.

"I paid for the girl's house repairs."

 "Why did you do that!?" He asked angrily.

"Because we broke his house."

"You broke it!" The boy corrected.

"It's your fault for being a thief without lock picks."

"I didn't ask you to break doors and windows!"

"Why didn't you check to see if the door was open?"

"You didn't do it either!"

"You're the thief you should have done it."

"Well, you're the murderer, kill the girl," he ordered, using the same argument his partner had used.

"I can't kill her."

"Why?"

"I don't have the necessary skills, besides if we kill her they'll put us in jail," the boy explained.

[Noise]

[New Mission: Investigate The Noise]

"I'm going to look what happened, you use your Skill Points, you've leveled up," Garudo reported.

Garudo went out the door, the girl was on the floor and the front door was open.

[Update: Find Out What Happened]

"What happened? Are you okay?," The boy asked.

"It was my boy ... My ex-boyfriend, he stole my money and left," the girl corrected as she spoke.

[Update: Find the Ex-Boyfriend] [Optional: Beat him up] [Optional: Kill him] [Get the money]

"What happened?" Ziz asked when he saw the girl on the ground.

"Someone has robbed her the money," Garudo explained without going into details, since he did not know them.

[A few hours ago]

 "Serena is it okay for us to abandon them?" Santiago asked as he was following the girl.

"You can go with them."

"No, they are annoying."

Serena and Santiago reached the arch, the old man was there.

"Are you strangers?" He asked when he saw them.

Serena passed him and crossed the arch, Santiago looked at the old man and continue following his companion.

"I hope they die," he exclaimed angrily.

The boys came to town quite happy to find a civilization that could help them find their way back home.

"Excuse me, where are we?" Serena asked a woman who was passing by.

"It's you!" The old woman exclaimed, apparently venerating the girl.

"Me? What do you mean?"

"Follow me, the walls have ears."

The old woman led the boys to a temple that could be seen from anywhere in the city because of its altitude.

"What's this all about?" Santiago asked.

"Silence squire, I must speak to our heroine," the old woman ordered.

"Shut up Santiago, it seems they don't care about you. What's this all about?"

"You are our heroine, the legends say that in the year 82 of the era of the falls an evil will devastate this world, but a girl with glasses will arrive with her squire to free us from destruction."

"What are you telling me? What you say is absurd, things like that are not real."

"Legends are not absurd girl, if it's so unreal, how do you explain the strange gadget that you carry in your pocket?"

Serena and Santiago looked in their pockets and took out their cell phones.

"This? It's a cell phone," Santiago explained.

"Cell phone? That is the gadget that the heroes will use to dethrone evil, it looks like a gadget used by adventurers, but it is much more powerful and allows to improve the powers that the heroine possesses."

"There is an error here, although what you say could be true, I have no power; You've got the wrong person," she said, trying to leave.

"Wait here, just one day, until the high priestess arrives, she will explain everything better than me, I have to go and put on the nun's habit, I'll be back in a moment."
