Kasper: (smiles then took few steps backwards when he heard the neighs of the horses ready to embark on their journey) I'll see you all soon. (Waved)
Luna: (hopped unto the front carriage seated next to the demon rider)
Plagg: See you soon (waved)
Others: Byee. (Waved)
Sylara: Papa (leaned over to Kasper)
Watz: (stared quietly at the human seated across)
Kasper: Wondering why you're here?
Watz: (gulped) Y...yes
Kasper: I promised to save you. The demon queen wouldn't kill human for sacrifice as long as we do not cross terms with them. We're still at a temporary peace with them. (Explained)
Watz: Are you switched sides from human to demon because we are weak?
Kasper: Nahh... I want to make demons and humans be in good terms
Watz: (eyes widened in shock) B...but that dangerous.
Kasper: I know right? (Stared outside the carriage)
Watz: T...then why? (Managed to speak once again)
Kasper: (shrugs) I dunno. Maybe because I just felt like or because it was imposed. No one can ever tell. (Turns to Watz after speaking)
Watz: You saved me from those monster. I'll help you in anyway I can. But I can't guarantee following you to the end.
Kasper: it's fine as long as you're of help to an extent. Right Sylara?
Sylara: Hmhm (nods with a beaming smile)
Watz: Can... Can I ask a question?
Kasper: What is it?
Watz: Are...you a cultivator?
Kasper: Uhn?
Watz: You have a tamed magical beast plus you're a human and you managed to stay alive in the demon kingdom for months.
Kasper: You think? (Thought) If this system hadn't blessed me with such amazing skills as a life exchange to deal with some tasks. I wouldn't even survive a minute in the royal court the moment I stepped into it. (His face twitched uncontrollably as he thought)
...
Zariah: Hm? (Stared at the cloud blankly)
She couldn't tell the feeling she was having but it felt empty. The environment felt weirdly empty.
Zariah: Did my target leave the Purgatory already? (Thought as she tried to pick up any distinct mana wave she could fine, but she couldn't find none)
She walked out of the room then out of the inn she was staying.
Inn keeper: Miss? Miss?... You haven't paid your bills.
Zariah: (stopped in her tracks with a cold expression) Price? (Cold asked)
Inn keeper: (felt the killing urge from the person before him, that made him shiver in fear) n...nine silver for 3 nights and f... fourteen silver for 3 square meal for 2 days and this morning.
Zariah: (dipped her hand into her money pouch that was tied to the side of her waist and brought out 3 strands of silver then threw it to him without looking and dashed out quick)
Inn keeper: Miss? Miss? (Looked up and called out for her after counting)... Your change (he muttered to himself when he saw her leave without turning back to him calls) Ahh! (He sighed in relief after noting the Zariah had fully left the vicinity).
NOTE: 1000 silver coins = 1 gold coin
10 silver coins = 1 strand of silver coins
Zariah: Did I miss him? Or does he know about my appearance in the kingdom? (Thought)
...
Sylara: (fast asleep with her head on Kasper's thigh)
Pookie: (curled up into a ball, nuzzling next to Kasper's hand)
Watz: H...human? (Suddenly called out quietly breaking the silent atmosphere)
Kasper: It's Kasper. You can just call me Kasper.
Watz: Oh right. Where are we heading right now?
Kasper: Avarith.
Watz: Avarith?
Kasper: Yeah! Do you know anything about the kingdom
Watz: (paused then places his hand on his chin in a thoughtful mode) So far, the only detail well known about the kingdom is that they are very rich and expert in business. The king has lot of stores under his control.
Kasper: Ahh (sighs) I thought as much this journey wouldn't be as easy as I thought.
AHHH! The carriage suddenly stopped and a loud scream was heard from outside.
Luna: Master (yelled)
Kasper: (jolted out of the carriage from the window) A park of... Behemoth? (Shocked)
Athena: yellow rank (spoke out, displaying a blue screen that ranked the park of 12-15 behemoth)
The behemoth who seemed to be the leader of the park stomped his feet against the ground, snuffing out hot breaths from his nostrils. Lights which seemed like electricity sparks flicked around it.
