I looked at him and without him knowing, I decreased his level. Great timing since right after I did it, he tried to disassemble my organs. He looked at me and asked “W... why isn’t it working…” He then shakes his head “No matter, I can take you down without that.”. He charges at me and is about to punch me, but luckily enough my training taught me how to dodge punches.
I dodged his punch and put the bucket on his head, then I punch him as hard as I could. He falls unto the floor, I hope he’s unconscious and sneak away. I saw a horse outside one of the gates, I came closer to the gates and checked to see if there were any guards. There were three, one of them looked like a sorcerer and so I target him with my ability.
Then I slowly start running, building up my speed. I ran out of the gate and the guards look at me in confusion, the sorcerer tries to stop me, but his abilities were canceled. I climb unto the horse as the guards’ chase after me, the horse neighs as I try to keep myself on it. I then force the horse to move, I look behind me and watch as the citadel leaves my sight.
As the horse and I were leaving the view of Gi, I realize that I don’t have any idea where Arches or Petra Triadas were. This was a problem, but thankfully there were paths. I couldn’t really know which path lead where so I took the paths by chance. After hours of travelling, the horse got tired and so we both stopped in the forest, next to the path.
I gathered some apples and fed some to the horse, noticing it was getting dark, I lit a fire to keep us warm and give us light. Once we rested enough, I took one of the burnt sticks and turned it into powder. I used the powder to cover one end of a branch I’ve found to make a makeshift torch, I lit it and extinguished my first fire.
I rode the horse again, following the path through the night. Sometimes, my eyes would look up and I’d see the sky. The sky that looks so different from my world. Afar, I could see lights. As I got closer, I saw that it was a burning village. After I passed it, more lights appear. I didn’t dare assume that those villages were burnt by the Thetikos.
Eventually, I started to see less and less villages. It was quiet for more than 2 hours, there were no more lights and I was getting quite drowsy. Even the horse slowed down, I started thinking whether we should stop for now until I saw a great light appear from beyond the horizon. An enormous castle came into view, closely behind it where two more castles.
Seeing this, I made the horse go faster. If I was to rest, I want to rest in a safe place. As I neared the castles, it began to rain. Strangely, the rain was warm. It began getting hotter as I got closer to the castle, then once I reached the gate I was greeted by an enormous wall of fire. A person walked through the fire and demanded my name.
I told him that the rain is killing me, it’s all too hot. He stopped the rain and asked my name once again, I told him my name, how I came here and that I was in bad shape. He made an arched opening through the wall of fire to let me pass, once I passed it my wounds instantly recovered. I think it was fire treatment.
I ask him what this place was, he told me that it was Petra Triadas. The three castles of high staged matter; liquid, gas and plasma. This was the place to master heat, along with all sorts off abilities. I looked around and saw what a beauty the place was, I had a new goal now. It was to get stronger and get more abilities.
