59 Bear (2/2)

Gurek laughed lightly and asked ”The knowledgeable Sadunites were trapped? I wonder who was able to trick you?”

Jun replied ”We were linked to the Heart of the Mountain by someone, a mage.” Erendur intervened ”This might be the sorcerer who has been causing mayhem to the forest.”

Jok'ii nodded ”Indeed, our souls were bound to the Heart, if a sorcerer has been sighted here then we might be talking about the same person.”

Gurek asked ”The Heart of the Mountain, last time I checked it was only filled to one tenth. You were able to fill it to the brim? How many sacrifices did you do?”

Dorian interrupted ”Wait, so you were ready to endanger the forest because you smell the aura of death and blood on me, and now that we are talking about human sacrifice it doesn't matter anymore?”

Gurek and Erendur both looked at him and replied ”Yes.” Dorian frowned but Jok'ii said ”Dorian, you haven't been around, you don't understand.”

Dorian looked at him and said ”Then explain to me.”

Jun explained instead ”Do you think it was a coincidence we felt wary of you in the beginning? It was because you were human. But first, tell me, where do you truly come from Dorian?”

Dorian asked ”Does it matter?” Jun nodded, so Dorian said ”I come from another world, another realm.”

Jun nodded ”I thought so. No one would ignore so many things. How to start… Yes, I know. Have you heard about Adonis the Great?”

Dorian didn't have to think for long to remember where he saw this. A few minutes before, he read this name in a description. His boots'.

[Name: Telaria's Wings]

[Type: Boots]

[Rarity: Blue]

[Defense: E]

[Requirement: 20 Vitality]

[Effects: Agility +6, allow you to jump higher.]

[Float: It allows you to float slightly in the air, or slow down a fall. No cost or cooldown.]

[Remark: Those boots are said to have once been weared by Adonis the Great, and were of a great value to him. Whether it is true or not, you shall guess.]

Here he was. But he didn't know who he was. Dorian said just that.

Jun said ”Before, humans were only a small race within this world. But then, Adonis happened. He used his strength to dominate all the other races. Whoever it was, they were defeated by Adonis. Then, the current Human Era began. The thing is, humans are terrible. Using the deterrent known as Adonis, they plundered the land. Whoever this was, every race has suffered, and is still suffering, from humans.”

Dorian nodded and said ”Understandable, in my world humans are pretty shitty too, we aren't that far from destroying our own world.”

Jun nodded and turned toward Gurek ”We didn't have to do many sacrifices, Dorian was able to destroy the heart, freeing us.”

Erendur and Gurek looked at Dorian in surprise and said ”He was able to do this? Impressive.”

Jun nodded and said ”He is powerful, he could even help you with your sorcerer problem.”

Dorian looked at him with reproach and then said ”No, we landed here by accident, and we are unwelcome, so we are going.” Gurek and Erendur didn't seem to have any objection, but before they could leave they suddenly heard a loud explosion.
