As I reappeared back on the training grounds I looked around to see no time had passed that entire time, Nyx looked at me with another confused look. "Are you seeing things?" Nyx asked, but I didn't have to explain myself as Pasha arrived over here.
"What do you think the Overseer meant by mission to complete and monster summons?" Pasha asked.
"I have no idea, but I need to find Rina and Henry now before we get the mission, so I don't have time to worry." I quickly replied with and then looked at Nyx.
"I will reporrt it to the king, but you two need to be fast to find them then, but make sure you are back within 2 days then, it's better if we are together when we get the mission." I looked back at Pasha and gave a nod of approval and Pasha gave a nod back and went to the castle to report the meeting to the king.
Nyx looked at me and asked. "Do you have a way to find them now or are you still cluelesss?"
"No, but they must be in Kalmar some where, Henry and Rina would both know Kalmar is the closest kingdom to get to over any of the others, but I would have assumed they would have been in the capital city by now."
Nyx fell into deep thought too about their possible locations, but just like me she couldn't think of where they would be. "I know where they are." I looked at Makoto who said that, but was it true?
"You don't think Im telling the truth do you?" Well obviously I didn't, he claimed to be me after all.
"I can read what you think so just ask me it in your mind if you don't want to seem like someone who talks to themselves in front Nyx." So this guy can read my mind too.
So where are they then?
"They are at a major trading city in the south, they are staying there until they could hear some news about you or Nyx."
Which one, there are 2 of them?
"You want everything handed to you don't you?"
Of course I do, I need to find them fast I don't got time for this.
"If you are fast enough you can find them within 2 days."
So you are just not going to tell me great. But in all honesty how could I trust him? But it's the only lead I have so I will take the risk just this once.
"Nyx were going to the south to the major trading cities." Nyx looked at me with a puzzled look, but quickly said. "Alright let's get going fast then, we need to run the entire way if we are going to make it."
"Let's pack something to drink, food and money and then let's get going." Me and Nyx quickly got everythung we needed and we made our way to the first city, but on the way Nyx asked. "What's the first one called we are going to?"
I looked over at Nyx while we ran towards the city. "The first one is called the Merv while the second one we are going to if they are not in Merv is called Khiva."
***
We finally arrived in Merv, the city was almost filled to the brim with people walking.
"How are we going to find Henry and Rani here?" Nyx looked at me.
"No idea, but we will mana-"
Before I could finish my sentence I could hear someone in the distance yelling. "Help a theif just stole my gold coins!"
I looked over and saw a person bumping into people while running from the woman yelling, I quickly ran towards the person trying to run away.
I hit some people on the way, but I was quickly catching up to the theif running away, but this only reminded me of Akuji and Rani and how we first met back in the Fraction kingdom.
In the next moment I finally caught up to the theif and caught them, I dragged the theif back to the women who had called out for being robbed, and I gave the women her money back.
"Thank you very much young man." The women quickly pinched my cheek and walked away looking happy. "She did know you were a military captain right?" Nyx asked looking at me.
"Who knows, but let's get this guy to the guards and then go looking for Henry and Rani." Nyx quickly replied with a quick. "Yea."
We dragged the theif to the guards and then we began looking for Henry and Rani, we asked around, looked at places they enjoyed being at back in the Fraction kingdom, but with no luck.
"Do you think we should move on to Khiva yet or do you want to look one more time to see if they are here?" Nyx asked looking at me.
"Let's look one more time and if we can't find them we move onto Khiva."
As we looked around Merv one more time to see if Henry and Rani were here we finally saw something interesting.
"Look Nade there is more posters saying down with the king." I walked over to get a closer look and said. "You can just call me Folke while it's the two of us you know, but I remember seeing some of these in the capital too."
"King most be hated for whatever reason." Nyx said looking closer and the poster.
"He looks so funny on this poster, can't believe they painted the king hiding behind Pasha like that." Nyx said with a chuckle.
"And him sucking his thumb finger like that is the cherry on top of it all." I said with a slight chuckle too.
"But we need to get back to looking for Henry and Rani, we can't laugh at it all day."
But when Nyx looked at me she had a surprised expression and all she said was. "Look behind you."
I quickly looked behind and saw.
