Ming
Ming watched as Julia calmed down the dragon with the help of everyone else. She listened to Julia's explanation before following her to the lalafell city. She listened to Julia and the chief talk before looking at Kiyu. Immediately her attention was brought to his double ears. She watched as he introduced himself then listened to him as he spoke to her.
"Hello Kiyu, my name is Ming. It is a pleasure meeting you here too. I thought I would never see my own kind in this world. I am glad that I was wrong. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do."
She bowed to him respectfully then looked to Julia. She was ready to leave at any time. She was doing a good job to tune out and ignore the two idiots talking about games. Her only concern right now was to get on with the mission. She took notice of what Kiyu said though when he spoke about the Enforcers. She wondered why he sounded so harsh towards them but she was sure she would find out when she met them first hand.
Julia
Julia smiled brightly as soon as she saw her friend, Kiyu showed up. As far as she was aware they were meeting in Salazo but apparently not. She allowed him to introduce himself. When he had spoken to Fiona she smiled glad that he was still willing to join them and help them all. The more help they had the better.
"It's nice to see you too Kiyu. I thought I was meeting you in Salazo. I'm glad you are here to join us."
She turned to Grace and Bahamut as they spoke to each other, and hearing them talk made her realise what was happening. Grace was from a game from Gods at War in 2125 while Bahamut was from Elder Scrolls End Game. She needed to go back to the library to confirm what she was thinking. She looked around and smiled at Kiyu and Fiona.
"I need to go to the library for a moment. Hopefully, it will clear everything up once I am back."
As soon as she said that Julia closed her eyes and then disappeared. She reappeared in front of the Library of Knowledge. She knew this was going to be time-consuming but it was worth it if she could clear everything up and stop them from acting like this was some game. She walked in and sat herself down on the table.
"Bring me the files of Gods at War 2123 and Elder Scrolls End World 3038"
With that several large files appeared out of nowhere. She looked through them as quickly as she could looking specifically for what universe and world there were from. As soon as she brought she got the files from those universes.
"Bring me files of the player's avatar Grace from Gods at War and Bahamut from Elder Scrolls End World universe 6255."
Once again two files appeared in front of her. She looked at them both them smiled. This was what she needed. She grabbed the files and teleported back to the lalafell city.
"John, Jolene, both of you are 25 years old, both human. I must of brought your avatars while you were playing the game that is why you think that this world is just one big game. It isn't. I have your personal files here if you want to read them."
She handed them each their own files then stood back. This should be enough to clear all confusion.
"Now, we really have to go we haven't got time to waste. Next we need to travel to Salazo going through Jeul."
As soon as they were done reading the files she used magic to put them back into the library. She then lead them out of the city. There were in a large wasteland. She looked around and as she did she moved through slowly. Everything was dead. No plants, grass or trees were growing here.
"This place was a warzone. Of course, the Lalafell were forced to get involved considering it was right outside the city. Many died, and all because of a damn Law Enforcer. Do the slightest thing wrong and they'll take you in. Even if it's just littering. All crimes are taken extremely seriously here. Before the battle, this place was beautiful. Flowers blooming, trees, grass as far as the eye could see. An entire forest. Anyway, from here we continue forward until we reach the town. Just be careful though, creatures may attack us. They aren't like Rethynth who you can just sing to and they'll go to sleep. Here, we will actually need to fight, and if you have to, kill."
She gave a small smile and continued to walk. It was then that everyone would have heard a voice in their heads, it was almost like a whisper which made Julia look around in confusion.
'Be careful, you're in danger. Watch where you step and watch out'
Julia looked around but could see nothing. She blinked a few times and spoke slowly.
"Can anyone else hear that?"
She looked around once more before continuing to walk. Those who could see spirits would be able to see a dark spirit fox following them but Julia wasn't able to see it and just kept walking.
What she did notice however was a raven that was slowly flying overhead, she looked up and stared at it. As she did her eyes watched the area cautiously. Once they hit halfway, the ground shook softly. It seemed like an earthquake that had only just reached them. So she ignored it for the time being. However as the ground shook again after a few more steps and this time more violently, Julia quickly stopped.
"Is it me, or is the earthquake getting closer?"
As if to answer her question, the earth shook again this time it felt like they were in the middle of the earthquake, it shook so much that Julia fell on her backside. Quickly she stood herself up and started to run.
"RUN! MOVE! GET OUT THE WAY!"
She gained some distance between the last point where the earth shook before a giant worm with thick armour burst through the ground with a loud scream so loud it was almost deafening. It then dug back into the ground instantly and burrowed around the area. Julia let out a soft sigh before speaking once more.
"It's an Apocalypse Worm. Be very careful. There is nothing that can break through it's armour. It's too thick and the moment you make a dent in the armour it regenerates and fixes itself. Nobody has managed to kill one yet, I guess we'll be the first."
Julia felt the Apocalypse Worm about to shoot up again where she was standing, she immediately jumped back and the moment it shot up a huge spear made out of purple magic appeared out of nowhere and stabbed into it, however, it had armour over it's entire body, and the attack did nothing to hurt it. The worm looked at Julia and screamed loudly. It shot deadly acid at her which she rose a purple barrier to stop however the acid tore right through her magic, of course it did. She jumped back and then watched it as the worm buried under once more.
