Chapter 17 - Greetings

I turned around and saw Rani and Henry looking at me, they looked the same as I remember them, but how do they feel about me? Would they hate me for running away without them? What would they think about me?

But there was only one way to know and that was to face them. "Im sorry, Im sorry that I abandoned you 2 and ran away, and Im sorry it took me to long to find both of you, can you find it in your heart to forgive me!" I clenched my hands together and bowed my head a little.

I slowly opened my left eye and saw that Rani and Henry were giving me warm smile, but why. "Folke, we don't hate you for anything." She was lying, her face was extremely annoyed and it was pointed right at me, but Henry put a hand on her shoulder and said. "Let's not point too many fingers here, all that's important is that we are reunited." Henry also looked angry behind those calm words he just said.

"I am truly sorry that I abandoned both of you, and I can never make this up to both of you, but give me one more chance and I will make sure you never regret it."

Henry and Rani didn't look at each other as they would have back then, they looked straight at me and said. "Yes, I will give you one more chance Folke." Rani said with a smile with Henry continuing with. "I will also give you this once chance to prove yourself then Folke."

"Thank you, I really appreciate it." I gave them a smile back with them returning it again.

I woke up early in the morning for a run around the city, and when I returned Rani, Henry and Nyx were all ready to leave the city too, but this time we could take our time and talk about life the entire way, we made a single stop at an inn and then had to run some of the way, but we made it back at midday to the capital.

"So this where you 2 have been staying?" Rani asked looking up at the castle. "It's even bigger than the one that were in Fraction kingdom." We walked into the castle and I quickly introduced Rani and Henry to Pasha, the king and everyone else and said to call me Nade from now on when not in front of anyone who isn't me, Nyx, Henry, Rani and Pasha.

After that we made our way towards the place me and Nyx was staying. "Pick a room he-" But Makoto whispered to me. "The 1st room on the left side is mine, so don't let anyone else have it." I quickly looked at Makoto who was levitating behind me, I sighed and then said. "The first and second room on the left side is taken and the first room on the right is also taken."Nyx gave me a quick look, but she didn't say anything and stayed quiet.

"I will take the second room on the right!" Rani quickly said with Henry following up with. "I will take the third one on the right then." Both of them quickly moved to go into their newly decided rooms leaving just me and Nyx.

"So why did you lie?" Nyx looked at me with an unreadable expression on her face.

"You wouldn't believe it, but I didn't lie and the room is already taken by someone." I looked at Makoto levitating behind me and then at Nyx.

"Who's room is it then?" Nyx quickly replied with.

"The room belongs to Ma-" Makoto quickly whispered into my ear. "Don't tell them about me, I will allow you to tell them about me at a later point, but not now." Makoto looked at me and face through the wall into his room.

"I can't tell you, but I will soon." I looked at Nyx with an awkward expression.

Nyx sighed and said. "I will believe that you won't tell me for a good reason." Nyx turned around and walked into her room, but stopped right before going in. "Just promise me that you will tell Henry and Nyx too."

"I promise I will." With that Nyx went into her room too, I went into my room too, and I lied down on the bed and looked up at the roof. "Should I tell them about him?" I wondered for a moment and made my decision about it.

Later that day in the night I had called Pasha to talk with me for a moment, I sat down on a chair in front of a fireplace, Pasha came soon after. "We have some things we need to talk about, take a seat." Pasha sat down on the other chair I had prepared in front of the fireplace.

"There is no good place to start, but let's start with the monster meeting and missions." Pasha looked at me with a surprised look, but let me speak.

"When I was in Merv I met a zombie summon, he had a korean name and he had a mission that I would assume had something to do with taking over a city."

"But I managed to stop him, and Im guessing he cut his losses and ran, but he seemed in a rush which likely means there is a time limit on the time you can complete the mission."

Pasha looked at me like he was taking all of the information in. "But that would mean there is also for the other monster races then, and since the zombie summon had a mission against humans does that mean we will get a mission against monsters then?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, but there is something else I need to tell you." Pasha looked at me again. "Remember when I said that someone who looked like me told me to not tell you my na-"

But before I could finish my sentence the clock gave a loud ding, it was midnight, and then.

(System message, Your mission is.)
