3 Days Later.
Location: Coast City (Near Reverie)
.
Standing in front of the main gates of the city, we were waiting for the caravan to pass the checklist. Yemir and Tristan already had a fake ID for everyone, including me as well.
"What's your purpose for visiting?" The guard asked Yemir who answered in a polite manner,
"We are to visit the Island of the Coast City. It's a business trip to meet the 'Contractor'."
Yemir took out a bunch of documents, pointing to the specifics as he explained the details in little words. The guard glanced through the entire document before nodding and then speaking.
"All right. Let them pass."
The other guards then opened the path for the caravan to enter the coast city.
"We will stop the caravan inside the gates and book a ship. Given the time frame, it will take a week before we can board a ship. Meanwhile, you guys can enjoy the free time," Yemir spoke up as the caravan moved to the side and paused.
Getting out of the caravan, I then stretched lightly before looking at the mirror in a nearby shop. Currently, I have changed my face structure a little, while turning my complexion a bit darker.
This way, I could mix with the natives.
When I changed my face in an instant, everyone was bewildered as they observed me. Even Yemir, who was apt in mana, couldn't sense anything, while I just brushed it off with a slight chuckle.
'Can't really have 'Adam' go off in a city, can we? That's just attracting unnecessary trouble,' I thought as I then began walking towards the city.
"We will meet in 7 days at the coast," Yemir spoke again, this time specially focused on me, while I raised my hand and signaled with my thumb that I would be there.
'Now. Let's get a change of clothes first,' I moved towards the place, which looked especially crowded. And slowly mixing in the crowd, I then began overhearing people's conversation, trying to find if there was anyone going to the market.
Didn't take even a second before I found a group of youngsters heading to the market to buy some swords and such. And then there were some ladies going to buy some groceries in the same direction.
Moving in the same direction, I walked with the crowd before I finally reached the place where clothes were being sold.
"All right, let's buy something that should be nice for me," I thought as I began window shopping, trying to find something that was at least close to my taste.
"This is the end, Aisha," a voice appeared from behind, in the direction where Aisha was running towards. And I turned to find a man in a blue dress like those english men wore.
He had a hint of nobility in his expression, a sense of pride in the way he stood there. I wonder if I stepped upon some form of drama.
"Capture everyone who seems suspicious! Leave no one!" That man spoke as more and more guards appeared from the crowd, capturing every civilian there was.
Aisha's eyes were glaring at that man as she scanned the surroundings, trying to escape. Immediately running to the left, she kicked a guard and then ran swiftly past another.
"[Earth Crumble!]" She mumbled in a sweet voice, before the ground below the guards in front of her crumbled and they all fell.
"[Earth Rise!]" and then she chanted again, elevating a bit of the ground and using it as a support to jump off those guards.
-BAM!!!
But before she could land, a hit came from the front as that same blue-dressed man used his sheathed sword to push her back in a single slash.
Blowed away, she then landed about 2 meters away from me, with her face facing up, her eyes reaching me.
"What next?" I asked, wondering what she would do now.
Standing up with a push, she then wiped the blood off her mouth as she spoke.
"Just look. [Create Crater!]"
And 3 rocks formed out of thin air and floated in the surrounding air. They slowly revolved around her before she stanced for a fight against that guy.
"You cannot win," that man spoke as he then unsheathed his sword and moved towards her one step at a time. Aisha, too, ran towards him with all her might and attacked him with those craters.
He slashed the craters swiftly before parrying her punch with elegance. And with pretty much ease, he then used the back of his sword, hitting her head and knocking her unconscious.
The crowd and the guards then suddenly calmed down, while that man looked at Aisha for a moment. He sighed as he shook his head before his eyes fell on me.
"I don't know who you are, but please come with us. If you have done nothing, you will be released immediately, but for now cooperate."
And I smiled as I answered,
"Why not? I was getting bored anyway."
