508 Finally Here!

'Shuuuuuu!!!!!'

Today, the whole place resembled that of a snow-globe.

The blizzard came with nature's determination, and swept across the land from all directions.

The flakes covered the ground, as well as the people who were moving on the streets and roads too.

The snow became so thick, and everywhere was light, crystal-looking and white.

And at around 8 A.M, the entire phenomenon came to an end.

The sun slowly rose up, giving some sort of warmth to the place.... as its dim rays gently touched Hertfilia.

The stormy blizzard had been raging nonstop for more than 12 hours now.

It began yesterday at around 7 P.M, and had finally come to a cease-fire around 8 A.M today.

Within Riverdale city, several men were currently wearing their newly purchased winter coats.... which they acquired from one of the stores within the city.

Apparently, the city had run about of winter

boots, scarfs and mittens.... so they decided to get some when they got to Baymard.

Because at this moment, their shoes had already been utterly worn out during their trip here.

.

"Your majesty Sirius... your highness Astar.... the storm is finally over."

"Hmhm.... let's first eat breakfast first before heading out.

You all have 30 minutes tops.

And after that, go get the stuff from the old lady.

It's now 8:21..... so we'll leave at 10 A.M on the dot."

"Yes, your majesty."

Sirius got up from his bed and looked outside his window with a broad smile on his face.

Rain or sun, blizzard or no blizzard, he would still head on over to Baymard today no matter what.

Even though the weather was previously stormy,  it wasn't as bad as it looked.

One could still travel within the storm or even walk on the streets within the storm.

In fact, he was sure that there might've been people entering or leaving the city gates during the 'blizzardy' weather.

Even he had walked about the city yesterday when the blizzard had begun.

But now that the weather had decided to behave itself.... of course he was happy!

No one liked to walk for a long trip on horseback while snow constantly fell on them.

One should know that now that the roads were filled with snow, their journey would take longer now.

But as he said, nothing would stop him from going to Baymard today.

.

"Bro... let's go join the rest for Breakfast.

If you continue staring and acting all mysterious and all.... we will really be wasting more time you know.

After all, it's best we take advantage of this weather and heat on out aa fast as we can.

Because the blizzard might choose to start all over again in a matter of minutes.

Ugh!....bro... why are you so slow?

let's go!" Astar said while pulling Sirius away from the window.

Who was Astar trying to fool?

Sirius knew that the reason why he was rushed, wasn't because of any damn blizzard.

For sure, it was because Astar was a serious Foodie.

The dude loved eating every moment of the day, but funny enough.... he would remain as skinny as he was.

In fact, there were times were Astar was dead tired from a fight..... but if one brought food by him, his body would unconsciously move and eat the food on its own.

The dude could even eat in his sleep, and had even almost choked to death once from it.

His body was sort of immune to poisoning and was extremely lanky.

Looking at his skinny body, one would think that he was a weakling.... but Astar was actually stronger than Sirius in battle.

Astar fought with his guts for what he believed was right, no matter if his life was in danger or not.

Provided he was doing it for his friends or those in need... Astar would always fight with everything that he's got.

While Sirius, on the other hand, was the calculative type.

The duo went down to join their men, and after breakfasts.... they went back up to pick up their bags.

.

"Will you all be leaving today?" 

"Yes!"

"Okay, no problem..... I'll get the stable boy to lead you to your horses right away."

"Were the horses treated like we asked?"

"Yes sirs.... but they still need to be properly cared for if you want to make a long trip somewhere.

We tried to give the injured horses the best medical attention that we could.

But if you're going to Baymard.... then there's really nothing to worry about, because they will give better medical care to your horses there.

Nonetheless, if you're not going to Baymard...  then 2 cities away, there is a famous horse healer there as well."

Soon the stable boy came over, and the men quickly checked-out of the inn and followed the stable boy silently.

They properly inspected their horses before getting on and riding out of Riverdale city in a flash.

Now, it was time to visit the magical empire of Baymard.

.

Burning their journey, they were immediately appreciative of the roads that lead to Baymard.

There was a massive green signboard hovering over the road, that said that the road was called 'Shanks road.'

The signboard also had arrows on it... the road in question had 4 lanes on it, as well as sidewalks for those without carriages or horses.

And at the center of the road, there was an elevated platform there as well... that seemed to break off at different points for horses and carriages to switch lanes.

In addition to that.... just adjacent the sidewalk railings, one would see a massive space that separated the forest from the roads.

The space was so big and seemed to even resemble a valley as well.

In short from what they had heard, there were also several traps within this space that would kill any animal that came over.

The men couldn't help but nod in appreciation for the whole thing.

Without bumping into civilians or carriages going the opposite direction from them, their journey was somewhat shorter than they had anticipated... As now, everyone in their lane was also going their way too.

Sirius looked at the entire design and immediately stored it to heart.

What a simple, yet genius design.

Where would he find such a design again?

For now, his goal was to remember as much as he could.

But unbeknownst to him, his poor brain would go in Error mode once he stepped into Baymard.

[Baymard: Welcome (^_^)

Sirius' Brain: Error!... brain cannot compute... Error! Error!'

Baymard: (^-_-)]
