As Fyodor and his companions get close to the gates of Sidus, the capital city
of Constellatio, they stop to make sure they are ready for what they
might encounter. Cassiopeia uses her hair to form 2 daggers, which she gifts to Fyodor and Cassandra.
These are daggers endowed with Eremita's ability; they will allow
You to change back to your original faces and body shapes in case of any trouble.
I made it so that we look the same as we actually do to each other, but not to others. Fyodor, you look like a poor old beggar with a hunchback, and Cassandra, you look like a malnourished teenage girl. "Ok, I see Fyodor," spoke, because when we left the forest of invetibility and you had said you changed our appearances lI
was not buying it since we looked the same.
Cassandra forms two quills and 2 scrolls of paper and gifts them to Fyodor and
Cassiopeia. These objects are endowed with the Little white Lie, my ability, which will allow you to cast illusions of anything you write on the paper, and is especially useful to make the money you have written on it appear to others as if you have it.
"We are going to separate as we enter the city so as not to draw attention", Cassiopeia spoke. We shall meet at the center of the city as the sun is setting,
before the last shadow cast by the sunlight vanishes. Do you understand that?
Yes, we do see you then. As the trio finally enters the city, each goes their separate ways.
Cassiopeia went towards the docks to prepare a ship to the Island of Tersiea.
As she is walking towards the docks, she begins to think about Fyodor's panic
earlier in the forest of invetibility, who is after us?, who is Adam?, Is that boy
ok? But maybe he has a point, she thought. They could be something messing
with my mind, but how could it be? Couldn't it just twist my memories to have
me get rid of us all? Maybe it can't? Does Fyodor remember because he draws
his ether from the future? If this person is in isolation, maybe I can draw ether
from them to validate their existence to myself? But how do l even do that if
l don't know who he is, she continued thinking. Excuse me, ma'am, a young man interrupted her train of thought. The docks are especially dangerous this time of year. Are you looking for someone in particular? You don't have to worry about me sonny. The person I'm looking for will be with me soon.
Cassandra, on her way to the center of the town, starts wondering about what Fyodor asked her. If it is an ability, it would be in The Liar class, but that's
impossible; there are currently about 100 people in The Liar class just in this
kingdom alone, so no one can have enough ether to do such a thing, she thought. Is it maybe that it was just a dream that Fyodor has taken too seriously? No, that's
not like him. Excuse me, little Missy, do you need some food? You look like you
haven't eaten in a long time, a kind-looking old lady told Cassandra. What's your
name, my child she asked. My name is hmm Camela, Cassandra responded.
You poor thing, you have even begun to forget your own name. Don't worry, I'm
gonna take good care of you. Cassandra began to follow the old lady as they walked into an alley.
Cassandra noticed four men following them behind before she could tell the old lady, she was accepting five Cygnus(the kingdom's currency) from the six men standing in front of her. Take her, the old lady said, look at her, no one is gonna miss her, the poor thing couldn't remember her name, it's sad, but maybe her life might be of purpose if it was bought and sold off to someone.
You have said enough now, l'm getting bored Cassandra said, as she cut her
hand with the dagger she was given early to revert to her true form. Who are
You, the men shouted?l thought ability users were just a myth? My name is
Cassandra, l'm a servant of the Ursa family, and l'm ending your trafficking
ring here cause lord Ursa would be distraught that such an evil thing can
happen. Get her the old lady shouted There is no need to fear her, there are ten of
You and one of her! In the blink of an eye, Cassandra was now standing in front of the old lady, "Careful what you claim, lies hold power but never truth", Cassandra said as she conjured up a spear. In less than a heartbeat, she was now standing on top of the man who had handed the old lady the Cygnus. "This is my spear, Pséma; it pierces the reality of falsehoods and truth, and that lady just lied," Cassandra spoke, with a gust of wind bursting from where she was previously standing. Are we in the presence of a goddess the old lady asked as she fell on the ground. Before answering, Cassandra stabs all of them with her spear, and no blood gushes from the wound, but all eleven people were out on the ground from the shock. The leader of the men stood up and shouted Why didn't you kill us to Cassandra, who was standing in front of her. He feels a light tap on his shoulder before he turns around, and he hears Cassandra's voice in his ear saying, l'm going to do much worse. He checked in front of him, and she wasn't there.
I'm gonna begin now, Cassandra announced. Pséma ability persona, Cassandra said as she was tapping each of the people she had knocked out. She set her eyes
On the guy standing, he begins speaking, "You belong to the Liar class, and the
reason you didn't kill us is because you can't, or otherwise you can't advance in
Your class plus your class physically does not allow you to kill". Cassandra claps
Congratulations, you said some correct information, but one thing you missed is
l can't kill your flesh, but your mind, that's a different story. What but please
Please forgive me, the man spoke with a breaking voice, sweat running down
his face, snout flowing down, and tears forming in his eyes. l am truly sorry. While
laughing, Cassandra asks him How many helpless children have you taken against
their will? Do you believe that number is not worth your life? How greedy can one
man be? l have changed my mind Cassandra said as the man began to rejoice
Cassandra reconjured her spear and threw it in his head, and spoke Pséma ability Hades, and the spear vanished.
Fyodor went towards the Temple of the Mother Goddess to learn more about
prophets. As he arrives at the temple, he is warmly invited by an old
monk who is sitting by the doors. Welcome, my child the monk spoke, What
is your name? My child, you seem to be in deep pain and even grieving, one you
might not know you grieve. My name is Aloysha, l have made my journey from the town of Ursa, and l come here to learn about Prophet's father. Stick out your hand, the monk spoke as he cut Aloysha's hand and directed it to bleed into a chalice. It is not good for one to lie in such a holy place as the mother goddess had already revealed to me what you look like and your true name. Is this a trap? He thought no, it can't be, could it be the blood, maybe, but the only way l can get what I want is to review the truth. Damn, Cassiopeia is not gonna like this. Aloysha takes out a dagger from his cloak and cuts his hand, and returns to his true form. Allow me to reintroduce myself, Father. My name is Fyodor and l'm the Lord of the Ursa family.
Now that you have reviewed the truth, follow me, the monk said as he pointed
towards the basement of the temple.
