Chapter 28 - (28) Send Off (1/2)

He gathered everyone around him and started explaining most of what happened to him since he'd woken up early. Told them about the mechanical voice, the lucky rewards, and the Dungeon. There was some information he kept to himself of course.

As he was about to explain to them how to get to the Dungeon, Albus interrupted him.

:Tell them to pull their Grimoires out and accept your link:

He relayed the message and they did as they were told. His ”Friend List” quickly grew.

Til, Crystal, Mick, Misa, and Gemma.

:Now tell them to flip to the map:

Albus, flipped to his own map as Geth relayed the message. Once everyone was done, Albus started glowing brightly. Shortly after, Geth could see five Mana tendrils extending from his binding and connecting at points in front of his family.

After approximately three minutes, the tendrils withdrew back into his Grimoire. He looked back at Albus and noticed that there were no changes. 'What did you do?'

But before Albus could respond, Til had already spoken up. ”So we just need to head to this dot here right? It looks like it should only be about 15 miles directly East.”

”Ahh, yeah that's the Dungeon location, make sure not to wander too far southeast. I have a feeling different creatures are lurking in the swampy areas.” He then turned back to Albus. 'How did you do that?'

:Well, I just used Mana to share a coordinate point with their Grimoires. The surrounding area will still be a blank space, but I can drop them markers:

'Good to know. Can you save this log as a marker? it would be a good place to camp in the future, I feel there may be a Goblin Dungeon near here as well as back towards the northeast a bit.'

A new dot appeared on the map, it was simply labeled 'log'. He turned back towards his family, Crystal was looking at him. ”You're not going to take us back?” She asked worriedly.

”No, I have other matters to tend to. I need to keep going south and find my son, we also have family in that direction. I plan to find him, and if I happen to bump into any of our other family I'll send them your way. Though, it will be a while before they can actually enter the cave.”

She was going to argue that it wasn't safe and that he should head back with them, but Til stopped her. ”I'll go with him. You guys head-on and meet with Zolis and the little ones. You'll arrive well before dark, Gemma and Misa are comfortable killing the things out there.”
