Chapter 144 - Stuck on Earth

"Oh!" Sunday sighed, looking at the Prickled Bane Winged Wolf that was his Soul bond beast. "What's good?" He said, noting the now darker sky of Earth.

It was already night or late evening. It was strange to him, the only place where he had come to see this amount of darkness was in Orun Apaadi when it was not so jam-packed with demons.

'You done with the mission yet? It's evening here. If you are, we need to get going.' Bane said and then flapped his wings, coming closer to the balcony.

"Hmm!" Sunday sighed. "If only it was that easy." He muttered, pulling himself from the direct front of the door to stand in the way.

'How do you mean?' Bane asked, his fur at the head becoming squeezed in a frown.

"Well... I wish I know what I mean. Wish it was all that easy to just do the mission and leave for Orun again... But no, I had to tell her she was fine."

'She? What are you saying?' Bane blinked, flapping his wings again to stay afloat.

"I don't know what you mean but now that the mission... Is the mission over, Sunday? We really have not the time for this, remember? It's already night on Earth and you know what that means.'

"I did it okay. I cleared the mission. But then again, I had no idea the mission would become as branched and complex as this." Sunday shrugged as he walked further, placing him over the balcony as he looked at Bane.

'What do you mean by that? If you cleared the mission then why are you speaking in parables? We should leave already.' Bane blinked.

'Wait, you do know how we can leave for Orun right?' Bane asked 

The question took Sunday by surprise. He s.u.c.k.e.d in air as he c.o.c.ked his head at Bane.

He had not considered that. No, not even for once!

But now that Bane asked it, he was startled. How did Irunmoles who checked their mission return to Earth?

It was not like they jumped up because from the way he landed, Orun was up and Earth was down.

Even at that, it was impossible. Messenger Classed Irunmoles were the ones who were allowed to come down to Earth fo complete missions. Only on special occasions where a demon or demkn activity had to be banished, did Elites and other Classed Irunmoles make their way down.

To think of it too, it had been almost scarce to hear that Warrior type Irunmoles were ever sent down to Earth. He knew this because at an early age, himself and Tayo were often taken into the High Council House by his father, The Elder. And as such, he had had the opportunity of knowing how things worked within their ranks. 

The Irunmoles mostly dispersed were Messenger Classed Irunmoles. 

That being said, how did those Messenger Classed Irunmoles survive on Earth with all the demon activity?

And even more, how did they ever get to Orun back?

They did not have access to Agbara, so what energy would they have tapped in to have enabled them defy the gravity of Earth up to Orun.

He frowned, shaking his head while he rested his arm across his c.h.e.s.t and then placed his left elbow on it, holding his chin in thoughtfulness.

"I don't know, Bane. It's not like I could just jump up there and fly into Orun? Or can you?" Sunday's eyes blinked.

The wolf looked morosely at him. 'No, Sunday. I am a quadrupled creature which means my strength is on the ground. The wings are an additional feature. Even if I can fly up there, flying for that long is bound to strenous.' 

Bane snorted. 'Still, even if I make it up there, I can't just barge up there. I mean, I don't see any World Bridges around...' Bane looked up at the sky.

"World Bridge?" Sunday looked up to the sky. "Why would there be a World Bridge down here on Earth? Everything is in the physical here." He commented.

'I don't know, you tell me. After all, you are the Irunmole here while my knowledge of things is only limited by the scope of Orun. Anything outside of it is beyond me.' Bane replied to him, looking at Sunday.

"Today is the first time I will ever be on Earth. Where would you expect me to know stuff?"

'At least, you had history and records of others who had come down to Earth. That aside, If you can't find a World Bridge, from my own limited experience, things are going to be sure for you, Sunday."

"What do you mean, Bane? What is that to mean?" Sunday asked, unfolding his arms.

He put his hands on the railing of the concrete guide for the balcony and yawned. 

Just what was Bane getting at already? He was lost. What was going to happen if he did not get to find a World Bridge?

'Isnt that obvious, Sunday?' Bane asked with a frown. 'World Bridges are used to gain entrance or exit into the Layers of Heaven. Without finding a World Bridge, dare I say, you are sure going to be stuck down here in Earth, unable to return back to the heaven where you stay.' Bane expantiated.

Sunday swallowed.

That seemed very serious. If he was not going to get back to Orun without finding a World Bridge, then that means stuff just went from zero to hundred.

He snorted, waving his hand dismissively at Bane.

No use trying to think about what was going him a headache already. That would sort itself out along the way.

'This is actually serious, Sunday. If you never find a World Bridge... I mean, what you run into demon trouble before you ever find a World Bridge... that is, if they ever exist.' Bane emphasized. "You would be stuck here. And that..."

"Enough! You think I don't know that?" Sunday exploded in anger, yelling at the top of his voice as he pointed a finger to Bane.
