"Kadridas, would you mind if we stepped back?" Gisle asked.
"Sure, take your time. You'd better find a way to deal with this problem." Kadridas said as he waved his hand, "I'll stay here for a few more days. There's a great view from here and that's the most important thing when playing chess!"
"Fine. Just what you need." Gisle smirked before turning to Wain, "Well, I hope it will be something amazing."
Wain and Gisle left, so Zero was left alone with Kadridas.
"How do you play this...?" Zero asked in an unsure manner.
"Chess? If you want I can teach you." Kadridas said with a slight smile on his face.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I'm tired of playing alone. Go ahead, you're bound to like it." Kadridas said as he waved his hand.
...
Wain and Gisle retired to a room with just them, a round wooden table, dim lights, and two cups of tea.
The conversation went on for several hours and in that time Gisle had time to experience many emotions, but one came at the beginning and intensified until the very end, it was curiosity at the open possibilities.
"Agh... Wain, what I just heard is fucking crazy..." Gisle muttered while shaking his head as if he learned how the world was created, "Shit... Who would have thought we weren't the only humans, on the contrary, they came into this world much earlier than us."
"Yeah, but since Aurora considers me the heir of the Nameless King, she'll do anything to protect me. For her, I am the future for all humans." Wain said with a serious look as he put his hands together.
"So... Do you think Aurora will want to join us?" Gisle muttered with a thoughtful look.
"Well, politics and negotiations it is your stuff. Right now she's the ruler of the Human World, so in some ways, your roles are similar, too you're both dictators." Wain uttered as he waved a hand.
"Dictator? Hey, I'm actually always up for diplomacy." Gisle grinned.
"Huh, all dictators say that." Wain shook his head, "I only know one thing. Aurora is definitely our ally as for all humans. Neither she nor we know why our people were separated and why we ended up in different worlds, but we are of the same race, that is the most important thing. She and the Kadridas will be enough to protect our territories from the Fifth Chronicle Arkans before help arrives."
"Good. Can I talk to her?" Gisle said with a devious smile on his face, "If you get us a meeting, I'll talk her into anything. What I've heard is more than enough."
"Yeah... You want to go there right now?" Wain asked in a puzzled manner.
"Nah. I've got some stuff to finish up. Let's do it tomorrow, especially since didn't you want to create a skill from the soul?" Gisle uttered as he shook his hand.
"Well, I'll meet you tomorrow then. Where can I rest?" Wain asked as he looked around.
"Hah, I've been waiting for that question." Gisle smiled as his ring glowed brightly.
A simple key appeared in his hand that he tossed to Wain, then Gisle whistled as he called to Guir.
"One day I was thinking that despite how big Last Light has become, you still don't have your own home, so I decided to correct that deficiency. I don't know which style you prefer, but I hope you like it." Gisle said with a shrug.
Whooooooooooooosh.
At the same time, the windows opened with a mighty gust of wind that was invoked by the wings of a griffin.
"Why did you call me?" Guir asked in a disgruntled manner, "I just thought I'd get a decent sleep... but you ruined it."
"Don't worry. Just take Wain to his house, then you can go back to your den." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face.
"Ah... That place... Good, that was one of the best choices you ever made." Guir nodded as he looked at Wain, "You ready?"
"Yeah. I'm curious to see what this place is all about. I'll see you later." Wain said before jumping on Guir.
"Bye."
...
Wain thought his house would be one of the floors in the skyscrapers that are downtown or something similar, however, Guir immediately headed in the opposite direction. To the right of Merge Island was a small mountain that seemed small because in the distance was the mountain where Terrin, Vampire City was located, but it was still quite large.
No roads led to the mountain except a few thin paths that hikers took as they walked there from the town or from the massive waterfall that was nearby.
"Well, well, we're almost there." Guir muttered, flapped his wings, and turned into a flash.
He sped toward the middle of the mountain, there was a wide ledge that gave a great view of all four towns and Merge Island.
"Here we go." Guir uttered as he landed near the edge, "You'll get to town somehow on your own. I'm not going to carry you back and forth again. I'll see you later."
Whoooooosh.
Guir flapped his wings, and in a few seconds, he was a mile away.
"Ah... The stronger the monsters, the more they resemble humans. Well, at least he's accomplished his task." Wain uttered with a slight smile on his face, before turning around.
In front of the slope was a two-story stone house with wooden beams for better support and a gray tile roof. Next to the house was a small garden with a veranda looking out onto it and a simple waterwheel, while shade fell from the trees nearby that made it an ideal place to rest.
"Hah, Gisle thinks I'm 85? Although... it does look cozy... maybe he really hit the spot." Wain smiled as he stepped forward.
In his life, Wain had seen many of the views Luar wanted to enjoy. The view from a skyscraper could not impress him or give him something unique, but a simple house, away from the city, in the middle of nature, could.
Tremble.
Suddenly a barrier appeared, as the key in Wain's hand lit up and he passed through it.
"Well, Gisle made sure no one touched this place." Wain muttered while looking at the key, "I didn't know he was so thoughtful."
