They continued walking for a few more hours until they walked out onto a cliff edge. They looked down to see a village packed with houses.
They saw demons moving around and some domestic creatures walking around as well.
"Seems like we made it," Bael said looking down at the village.
Shin caught up to Bael still panting a bit. He looked over at Bael.
"A few hundred metres huh," Bael said under his breath, loud enough for Shin to hear.
Bael then went over to Shin and grabbed him by the collar. Shin looked worried a bit. Then out of nowhere, Bael jumped off the cliff taking Shin with him.
Shin did not have the energy to scream or move and just let himself be dragged down by Bael.
"Hey Bael. What did you see a few hours back?" Shin managed to asked as they fell.
Bael looked at him then looked away.
Yeesh. You'd think he'd share things since we're traveling together.
Shin looked down and saw the ground have gotten close enough to safely land. Both of them managed to land on there feet and walked out the crater they made.
They walked until they reached the village which was much bugger than they had originally thought.
They walked through the crowded streets until they reached an inn. They walked inside and Bael walked up to the counter.
Shin sat on the nearby tables.
"I'd like a room for two," Bael said.
"How many nights?" The innkeeper said walking towards a shelf filled with keys.
He scrolled through the keys and pulled out a room key. Room twelve.
"One night," Bael finally responded.
The innkeeper turned and faced Bael, placing the key on the table.
"That will be three hundred zen," the innkeeper said holding out his hand.
Bael nodding and handed over the three hundred zen. He walked over to Shin and pointed towards the corridor to the rooms.
Shin got up and both of them headed into the corridor. They walked for a bit and then made it to room twelve.
Bael opened the door and the two entered. Shin dropped the bags down and plopped onto one of the two beds.
He laid face down in bed. Bael looked at Shin with a look of indifference on his face. He dropped his bags down and looked at Shin.
One spell and he's down. What does Satel see in him.
"Hey Shin. Who are the strongest people you know?" Bael asked as he plopped onto the bed as well.
Shin lifted his head and looked at Bael," my former brother and best friend Bjorn, Emma and my lost or potentially dead brother and best Jack."
"Lost?" Bael said in shock.
"Yeah he disappeared a year after Bjorn left the orphanage. Luckily Bjorn and his wife kept me campony until I got out," Shin said, throwing his face back into the pillow.
Bael nodded then looked up at the ceiling. He was lost in thought once more.
Shin fell asleep rather quickly, leaving Bael to his thoughts.
That mirror mask.
