Recoiling from the fvour overload, I say “This is the best.” Looking over at the man who gave this to me, I see he is talking to someone, so I say, “Is anything wrong?”
“No, I was just cheg up with him.”
Anto rubbing his full belly says, “Orb I am full, now let’s go py.”
“We don’t have time to waste, we o find the missing man.” The faster we get this little hunt over with the better.
“You say that but you have been messing around too.”
“Only because you kept pining.”
“I never did such a thing.”
“Yes, you did!”
“No, I didn’t.”
As me and Anto tiue my brrabs me and puts me on his shoulders saying, “Yamal likes to mess around during the day, I am sure he will be in all the fun locations around the city. So, the best way to find him is to hit up all those spots.”
“That sounds like an excuse to mess around.”
Snickering the man says, “Why ’t it be both!”
Sighing, I say, “Let me down ahe way.”
Dropping me off his shoulder he takes us, inte building.
“The beast exhibit. A colle of all the beasts recorded to live in Jedidiah. Over there is an Aized Camel, and to yht is the Karkadann. Both of these produce water from their bodies making them keystone species in Jedidiah.”
Walking around, I see recreations of wonderbeasts from around Jedidiah, but beside them, I also see small sculptures beside them. “What are these small versions for?”
“Oh, the citizens of Jedidah are allowed to create their own mini sculptures of the beasts as a way of showing their appreciation of the inals. It allows the museum to beore of a perso to everyone, especially since most of the citizens currently in Jedidiah are not from here.”
“Why?”
“Well, you see most of the people here were inally sves who were bought. You see the king here has a habit of buying abused sves and liberty them here in Jedidiah, due to that fact there are quite a bit of different cultures here.”
I see that expins why Ahmed Abrahams is the biggest sve buyer on Terrafide, he is actually buying them for liberation. Since Jedidiah is closed off for the most part from outsiders most people wouldn’t know about this, which expins Ai's description of this pce.
Looking around, I see the big tipede t through the sky. Seeing it causes me to have a look of amazement, “It really is giant.”
“Has that one caught your eye.”
“Sort of I was just amazed that a wonderbeast this big exists.”
“Well, it is rare seeing a behemoth.”
“A behemoth?”
“Any wonderbeast over 60m gets that qualification. They are extraordinarily rare and are as powerful as they are rare. That one is the behemoth of Jedidiah; Sirabalma.”
Hearing a noise, I see Anto kig the rabbit sculptures saying, “Die evil rabbits!”
“What the hell is that brat doing!” Running over to him, I grab Anto then I headbutt him, which calms him down.
Walking back, I say, “Sorry about this stupid idiot. He actually damaged your wonderful exhibit.
“Don’t worry about it, but I definitely say if you liked this you will definitely like what I have to show you!”
Leading us for a little bit we are eventually brought to ahat looks incredibly different than the rest of Jedidiah. “What is this pce?”
“We’re still trying to e up with a creative for now I guess I would call it the cultural zone. Here we let people set up different areas pertaining to their cultures, so they celebrate and share it with all the others.”
As I walk around in amazement, my brother says, “Of course everything here is funded by racious king. Fear is often caused by differences and the best way around that is to make sure everyone freely uand people's differences.”
Walking around this area, I am pletely raptured by the sites I see arouhere are a ridiculous amount of areas with eae being pletely different from the rest.
“Amazing isn’t enough to describe this pce.”
“The’s go look around!”
Running aroualk to all the people and gh each area one by one. Anto has so much fun that he didn’t pin even a siime. We got so lost in our enjoyment that we didn’t notice the day pass us.
Sitting down covered with tris and food, with pleasure, I devour the food left in front of me, but as I eat, I suddenly e to a realization and say, “What am I doing!”
I was supposed to be looking for Cyrus’s sister, but I have been pletely derailed it is already night and I have barely done anything. Standing up I say, “I o get back to work immediately.”
Walking over to a sleeping Anto, I see that his stomach has expao the point where he looks like a ball. Looking at his satisfied face I start to get annoyed, pig him up I shake him and say, “Get up you little brat, it is your fault we are so behind anyways.”
“Hey Orb, are you ready for the gra.”
Turning around, I say to my brother, “Sorry, but I have some busio attend to.”
“What are you talking about Orb, it is time for the daily performance. All of the citizens will be going as usual!”
Dammit, I fot I o act as though I am from here. Letting out a little ugh I say, “Haha I was joking.”
“Well the’s go.”
Following him with Anto in my arms we walk out to the edge of the city, luckily it was the opposite edge than the one we arrived on, so we don’t have to worry about anyone finding our captives.
Looking around I see that a huge amount of people have gathered, but in the distance I see the rabbits are also sitting away from us. What is going on?
“It should be getting started right about now.”
Suddenly all the sand in the distaarts to move around and shape itself, and then in mere moments, the sand shapes itself into rather fancy-looking people. They all have rather fancy clothes.
From a ptform to the right, a geous woman says with a soothing voice, “Our story today is Alibaba and the 50 thieves.”
My brother beside me says, “During the night time the sand es alive and pys out stories for us all to watch, so now let’s enjoy.”
-Break-
Φ Sitting down on a bench, Atanta says, “I am sick of all this walking, my legs are literally about to fall off.”
“Then I will ca-a-a-a-arry you,” I say turning around and kneeling down.
Hitting me on the head, Atanta says, “First, you must alrincess-carry girls. Sed, it was just an expression. And third, my hand hurts like hell.”
As she blows on her hand, she says, “But in all seriousness, we have been moving around all day aill haven’t caught a whiff of your sister.”
g my fist I say, “Maybe she isn’t here?”
Φ “To be ho I would much rather she be here, sidering hoy all the citizens are. Really Ai was pletely off the mark about this pce, it is so rexing and fun that it is taking all my willpower to stay on mission.”
Hearing a loud trumpet go off I jump off the bend look in front of me, where I see a group of men all in armour, except for the man leading in front of them who happens to be a good bit shorter than them.
The man in front says, “The sandstorm stops at my and, the rains clouds vanish at my presend women k my existence, I am the Easifatan the great!!!”
Plugging my ears, I say, “Hey you shorty, the one who reeks of insecurities, could you quiet the hell down.”
“Don’t call me short!”
“Looks like I was right on target.”
As tears start to fill his eyes, one of the guards behind him says, “We ruff them up a bit when ture them.”
“Yht, you hear that you two.”
“Sorry, say it louder I ’t hear you from all the way down there.”
“A-A-A-Atanta stop being mean.”
Letting out a sigh, I say, “Ok.”
Pulling two daggers from his weight he says, “As the head guard of Jedidiah I decre you two intruders are under arrest.”
Seeing sparks f on the daggers, I kick Cyrus out of the way and then dodge myself. Then out of his daggers, lightning emerges and strike the bench I was on.
Those daggers look like the jackal's horns, did they fe ons out of them?
“Surround them!!”
“Cyrus, we o run!”
Running towards me Cyrus picks me up and princess carries me away.
Behind us, I hear, “Chase after them!!”
While in Cyrus's arms I say, “They found us out soohan expected. We o go find Orb and formute a new pn with them, but for now Cyrus I need you to lose these guys.”
“Sorry, but it is hard for me to move around with all these people around.”
“If you ’t gh just go over..”
Uanding my i Cyrus jumps up high into the sky, for a sed I am pletely fbbergasted by how high he jumped but I quickly reposed myself then I shot arrows at our pursuers.
All my shots except the ones aimed at the head guard hit.
With an annoying ugh, the head guard says, “You will have to try harder than that to best me.”
He has good reflexes, and his use of spirit arts isn’t half bad, I guess he isn’t all talk. As he points his dagger at us, I tell Cyrus, “Watch out!”
But looking at his face I see he has a pletely bewildered expression. “CYRUS!” I shout snapping him bato reality.
As the lightning es towards us Cyrus uses his body as a shield and protects me from it. As we fall to the ground Cyrus uses his body to cover mine, and when we nd, I mao break my fall on him.
“HAHAHA, is that all you got?”
Annoyed I stand up and say, “I am going to kill him slowly. Cyrus, are you ok?”
On the floor, Cyrus says, “I saw a woman with a tail.”
“You don’t mean.”
With a smile on his face, Cyrus says, “It must be my sister.”
Jumping over to the rooftop we nded on, the head guard says, “I have you twht where I want you!”
Standing up Cyrus lets out a thunderous scream whiocks the head guard right out of the sky. Taking my hand Cyrus starts to run at full speed, he moves so fast that I doubt words could even reach him.
Φ As I head towards my sister's loemories start to py endlessly in my mind.
“Cyrus remember you always o be strong.”
“Cyrus remember to always treat women right.”
“Cyrus ake out yer on someone weaker than you.”
“Cyrus of course I will always be there for you.”
“Remember you are no less a man just because you don’t act like everyone else.”
“Of course, I am happy to be your sister, I have always been thankful that you were born.”
Jumping on top of the building I saw, there I see her staring over a baly, so I shout, “PARIBANOU!”
Turning around I see her face as she says, “Cyrus.”
Dropping Atanta I ruowards my sister, and give her a hug. “I finally found you!”
“It is good to see you, Cyrus.”
