Pov Alan's:

Makari Kingdom Castle Ruins:

After what we'd talked about the night before at the inn, there were still a lot of questions, not too much of what we thought yesterday was speculation without proof.

The truth is, we don't know the true intentions of the Makari Kingdom's nobles or the true intentions of the people who destroyed that Kingdom.

There aren't enough leads to follow, the Black Market says they don't have any information about any of this, and the Assassin's Guild says they weren't able to set up bases in the Makari Kingdom, so we don't have any information other than what we can find for ourselves and the what citizens tell us.

"We can be sure the King was involved in all this, look at the castle's location."  (I)

"It's outside the magic circle of streets."  (Darcia)

"Not only that, check out the castle itself, that's amazing..." (Bianca)

Darcia and I were heading towards the castle after coming down from the walls when we saw that the castle is outside the strange magic circle of the streets.

Bianca, who had gone ahead to see the castle, runs to us to drag us to the castle and show us what she discovered.

"What did you find, Bianca?"  (I)

"This entire castle has been greatly reinforced with magic, there are many types of defensive magic intertwining."  (Bianca)

"This castle will be strong enough to withstand even your attacks Alan, but now it is destroyed."  (Bianca)

"I still don't understand why do all this? Why not announce it to everyone if the goal was to save people?"  (I)

"We've got lots of vampire and demon blood all over this castle, there's one room, in particular, that has the blood of dozens of vampires, but even here there are no bodies left."  (Darcia)

"This only confirms the information that there are Vampires and Demons in this Realm, we can even assume that all Nobles were Demons or Vampires since there were so many in what should be the Castle of the King of the Nation."  (I)

"The most damage to the castle was done where the throne room is from what I've seen."  (Bianca)

"Let's take a look."  (I)

We entered the destroyed castle, much of the damage was caused by fire, there are well signs of battles, but this could be due to the resistance of this Castelo from what Bianca said.

As soon as we arrived in the throne room we saw that it was the most destroyed place, even with the damage caused by the fire we can still see the marks of a battle, that means that the strength of those who fought here was very great.

What caught my attention the most was the opening in the wall, it didn't come from the inside, it came from above, it must be the result of the battle that took place in the sky, this also explains the crater that is straight with this hole in the wall.

"There was a battle here, it must have been a battle with just a few people, but they were strong."  (Darcia)

"Yes, but other than that there's nothing else here."  (I)

"Let's explore the castle more."  (Bianca)

We started exploring the castle until we found a passage that should only take us underground, but the passage was destroyed and Bianca's magic discovered that the underground no longer existed.

----------

At the inn, during the night of that day, we were talking about everything we know before leaving this Kingdom.

"We can be sure now that the nobles of this Realm were Vampires and Demons now, but we still don't know what they wanted here."  (I)

"We also don't know who attacked them or why?"  (I)

"We can only go on guessing from here, but another certainty we've made is that Demons and Vampires have been eliminated."  (Bianca)

"Yes, unfortunately, I would very much like to know the truth of all this, I'm frustrated that I can't do anything else here, but it's time to go, we still have other places to go."  (I)

"Yes."  (Bianca/Darcia)

I go to the window and look at the destroyed castle.

"(Who did all this?)" (I)

----------

Mountain range, in an abandoned village.

Three weeks after the Annual Monster Wave.

The three of us were frustrated, it's been a few days since we got here, but we haven't found anything.

"How is there no Demi in this place? There are so many abandoned villages, there's even a fortress."  (I)

"Many of the villages we found are destroyed and have battle marks, this is the only village we've found so far that is intact."  (Darcia)

"This village is too big, big enough for thousands of people, besides the houses have been emptied of everything, there's also no food stored, so they leave the place calmly taking everything they wanted."  (Bianca)

"Yes, other than this suspicious village, nothing else was found, they say there are many Demi in this mountain range, but we haven't seen any."  (I)

? "I saw many signs of great battles, some are old, others maybe a few months old."  (Darcia)

"The fortress we found was especially destroyed at the entrance, there was a big battle there, but it doesn't have any bodies."  (Darcia)

"After such a long time the monsters may have eaten the bodies of the people of the various Religions and took them away."  (I)

"After so long this is the most likely."  (Bianca)

"But this whole place is weird, we haven't found information of large numbers of Demis moving around, it looks like they've disappeared."  (I)

"They could have gone by sea, so they could move around without attracting too much attention, after all, the sea is only a few days away."  (Darcia)

"That could be a possibility."  (Bianca)

"Even though that's weird, the reason we're here isn't the missing Demi tribes."  (I)

"Have you ever felt something about Divine energy, Bianca?"  (I)

"Yes, the lake we found two days ago, but there was no power there, just a residual presence."  (Bianca)

"It looked like the presence of Fairies, moreover very powerful."  (Bianca)

"But we found no signs of battle on the lake."  (I)

"Yes, we did, I got old maps of the mountain range in the city of Valen, that lake didn't exist before, there were supposed to be mountains there, but they disappeared."  (Bianca)

"The way I see it, whatever happened here, it's not in our best interest anymore, we should leave."  (Bianca)

Sigh

"Why is everything so different from what I expected?"  (I)

"First the Illusory Forest village, then the Makari Kingdom, also has the Undead Dungeon which has already been destroyed in the city of Valen and we have nothing else to do in this mountain range."  (I)

"This continent has been so frustrating."  (I)

Boom!!!

I punch to the side, smashing through the wall of the cabin we're in to vent my frustration.
