“Please bring me back! Raishin please!”

  Giana had been crying and begging me to bring her back but…Agnis had entrusted everyone to me.

  I'm sorry Giana. He entrusted you to me. I will help you beat him up afterward if you want.

  My intuition told me that there was still danger. Even this far? I hope that Agnis knows what he's doing…

  Greg had been quiet all this time, and Yv is also crying.

  Noelle, I really need your help here.

  “Oh…sorry. I…I was just shocked and terrified. I couldn't do anything…”

  I gave my hot girlfriend a hug.

  That's fine, that's why we have Agnis! Can you help me? I don't know what to do with these crying chicks…

  “Thank you Raishin. I will talk to them.”

  Hottie went to talk to Agnis’ girlfriends and I went over to Greg who wasn’t being very helpful.

  Greg! Wake up! We need to talk to Dimitri!

  Eh?! Oh yeah… let's go…

  We walked into the palace garden into the big shiny halls. The guards let us through because we had cool statues as proof of our awesomeness.

  We got blocked by a large door which Agnis had kicked it in the last time. His foot indent is still there!

  Dimitri we need to…Ouch!

  I tried to kick in the door, but it was heavy!

  My foot! I think it's broken?

  Don't be silly… you didn't even kick hard…

  Greg said as he pushed the door open.

  “Oh my friends! You have returned! Where is my great advisor and your beautiful elf friend?”

  You still remember Agnis?

  “Not ‘still’ again! My handsomeness doesn't make any mistakes! I wouldn't make a statue of an unimportant person. The only reason my handsomeness would forget a friend is when my friend transcends mortality! My great advisor must have become a god! I am so lucky to be his friend!” Dimitri made a lot of cool poses. The hot chicks around him were going crazy.

  So you have become even more insane… we came here to relay an urgent message. An ancient building holding a formidable fiend has appeared in the desert. The magical pressure it gives off is…

  Too complicated Greg! A dangerous demon is about to get loose and Agnis is holding it back! We needed to warn you! Also, maybe help for Agnis. Also, if you have some spare chicks…OW!

  Greg smacked me.

  Now is not the time!

  Dimitri's facial expression changed. “A demon? Are you sure? Another one?!”

  Wait! What do you mean by another one?

  Dimitri snapped his finger and a super busty chick brought him stacks of papers. I wish I could be like him one day. “We are trying to keep this from the public, but there have been 3 recorded sightings. All from different looking but similar creatures.”

  Dimitri shuffled through the papers. “2 are currently in Zanyr, the whereabouts of the other is unknown, but it probably is in Hjuva right now.”

  Should you be telling us this sensitive information?

  Dimitri handed the papers back to the busty chick.

  She is almost as busty as Giana!

  Raishin, focus please… and she is nowhere as buxom as Giana

  Oh, uhh sorry…

  “You are my friends, and friends tell each other everything! Now excuse me. I need to set up a taskforce. I will be personally leading it because nobody messes with my special advisor!”

  That's fine. We just came to warn you. We found it not too far from Promise.

  “Thank you, my friends. I will be off for now.”

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Come Raishin. Our work here is done.

  Greg pulled on my collar and we walked out. Too bad that we can't chill with Dimitri.

  Don't you think he looked a bit stressed?

  He is an emperor. Being a ruler of a country is only stressful if you're doing a good job.

  Anavel didn't seem stressed.

  Anavel isn't human. But a fairy as ruler… That was surprising.

  Greg stopped when we entered the courtyard.

  Raishin…can you handle the women, please? I have no idea how to deal with them…

  I know…

  Is what I said, but Giana is a mess, Yv had also been quiet, and my hottie didn't seem happy either. Leaving the 3 of them might not have been a great idea… I should have stayed behind and sent Greg to Dimitri…

  We left the courtyard and noticed the rest of our team in the distance. My girlfriend was holding Giana as if she was holding a crying kid. Poor Giana… I've never seen someone cry like this. I hope Noelle cries for me like this when I get hurt

  Dimitri knows…how is Giana? And are you ok, Yv?

  Yv wasn't crying anymore but looked unhappy and her aura felt different.

  “Hey Raishin, do you perhaps know happened to Agnis? Lil sis here just checked and he’s gone. The area seems cleared out and she can't find him “

  Cleared out? Did he seal away the building?!

  “She doesn't know. She tried to pull him in with charm magic, but it had no effect…”

  Pulling him in with charm magic? What does that mean? No effect?

  Greg, help…I don't understand.

  The building and Agnis have disappeared without a trace?

  Noelle nodded.

  “He might have used his skill [Fade]... He once used it on me, and it felt like we faded from existence but… why would he use it now?” Yv said with drooping ears.

  Yv is surely unlucky. First the thing with Greg and now she got together with Agnis and he disappears…

  Don't worry! He will pop up soon enough! If something could kill him, he'd already be dead!

  Giana started to cry harder, and Greg smacked me.

  While you're correct, there is a time and place…

  We went to the AA and got some rooms. Nobody of us has the ability to find Agnis if he's serious in hiding, so all we can do is wait. Giana and Yv got a room together, I got one with Hottie and Greg was alone as always…

  I still don't understand how he could refuse a hot chick like Yv… I would normally make myself feel at home in a new room, but I wasn't feeling it.

  Hottie came and sat down next to me. “You must be really worried. We have been in this room for 2 hours and it's still clean.”

  Hey Hottie, do you think that we rely too much on Agnis?

  She rubbed my back and looked down. “I'm not sure about you and Gregory, but we feel that we do… why weren't we able to act under that pressure and he could? We're all mythical beasts. Why can't we be of any use to him…”

  She leaned her head on my shoulder.

  I…my intuition tells me that it has something to do with mana. You're all low on mana. So am I but I can make it. This… might have been my fault. I was the only one who could have helped him there ..

  “Our mana? There's nothing wrong with our mana it's the same as…” Noelle stood up. “We are idiots…”

  Huh? What? I don't get it!

  “Our mana is similar to most people but… we're mythical beasts. It shouldn't be similar…probably the result of growing up in the ‘human world’. I'm sorry Raishin, but I need to have some girl talk.”

  That's ok. Go get stronger and hotter!

  I got a kiss, and she left for the door. I totally wasn't checking out her ass.

  Nice!

  She turned around, smiled and left through the door.

  A light rumbling and some noise came from outside.

  I teleported to the roof of the AA and saw many carriages pulled by handsome horses run through the streets going towards the east side of the city. East means ‘left’ right? But why are they going left? We came from behind. Or was it from the front? And why horses? Do horses work on sand?

  Dimitri was standing on one of the carriages and holding a speech. His voice was a bit loud, even if he was far away.

  People had to run after him if they wanted to hear the whole speech.

  What a weirdo…

  What do we do now? Our leader is missing… he didn't…no way he did that!

  I got up and teleported to the library. I hope he didn't seal himself away with that fake dungeon. My progress on learning how to unseal was slow. Why is this so complicated?

  Excuse me. Where can I find books that can teach an idiot like me how to unseal things?

  I got shown where to go and started reading. This library had the same book as Feshahn. Lucky me! I was only at chapter 2 though…

  Chapter 2: What is a seal?
