Quest 26- Outside Orario- Varga, The Capital of IsrafanAfter a few more days of travel, Cirrus could see the palace.
They built it high on a plateau that looms imposingly over the city below and the landscape. Going up it was a path spiraling up towards the entrance that could be seen from even outside the city walls which themselves cover the roofs of the city.
“That’s a rather impressive palace,” Cirrus said, looking at the place.
“I would be shocked if it wasn’t. The Varga is the capital of the country. So many rchants co here to sell their wares, with only 10% of the sales going to the city.”
“Ah… is that why it looks like an even more fortified Orario?”
“Yes, the monsters of the desert are rather tenacious. Thankfully, we hadn’t had too many confrontations with them.”
“Hm, those Desert Lizards and Vultures were rather annoying.”
“Well, let's hurry and finish the journey, shall we?” the rchant said with a smile.
“Hm.”
They rode to the gate and paid the entrance fee.
Cirrus feels like it will be the sa as before hiding his gear and only wearing the cloak Fels gave him. They entered the city with no problem and parted ways with the rchant. Now Cirrus had to find Hers and the rest of his Familia.
The capital city of Varga is very much like Orario in its multiculturalism, but that is as far as they compare. The city was a true capitalist dreamland, the strong devour the weak in the brutal ecosystem of their city is located in.
“… fuck, he never told
where he was.”
Using what he knew of Hers, he went to each bar he could find. The one with the more beautiful won, the better.
‘He is a Greek god. I would be shocked if he weren’t hedonistic.’
Hiding using the cloak's invisibility, he looked to find bars and the red-light district. Up on the rooftop, he spotted a familiar feathered hat.
“Haha!! Co on, ladies! Let's go to another one!!!”
“Woohoo!!!!”
“… I really hoped I was wrong—hm?”
Up on another rooftop, Cirrus could see so people watching Hers.
‘Well, this has gotten interesting.’
Cirrus continued his watch on Hers and the people following him. Hers went to a few more bars before walking back to the Inn, and from there the people following Hers drew their weapons.
‘More violence, huh?’
In the Inn.
“Lord Hers!” shouted Lydia. “You went out drinking again! You should have brought
along!!”
“Captain! Please, we're running out of money!!” said one of the Familia mbers.
“It's fine!” said Hers. “We can just keep doing escort jobs!!”
“You're not the one doing them!!!” they shouted.
Suddenly:
Crash!!!
Trouble ca through the window.
“HERS FAMILIA!!!” shouted one of the n with masks.
“YOU HAVE OVERSTAYED YOUR STAY!!!!!!!!”
“Whoa! Whoa!” said Hers. “Why are you all so angry??”
“YOUR FAMILIA HAVE BEEN STEALING ALL THE JOBS!!” they draw their blades as does the Hers Familia.
“NOW!!! GET READY FO-!!”
Before they could finish, the leader fell over.
“!?!?”
They were all surprised, and soon more of them fell.
“I ca all this way, and I had to do more work…” Cirrus then removes his hood, revealing himself.
“Ah!! Zephyr!!” Hers said drunkenly.
“Co on… Lydia, can you sober him up?”
Cirrus then brushed off his shield and one of the Familia mbers takes him to a room.
The next day.
“Sorry! Sorry!” Hers said, putting his hands together and apologizing. “I didn’t think so other Familia would try to get us out of the city for staying too long!”
“Hmm… so what have you gathered on Evilus?”
“Wait! Before that.” Said Lydia. “What of Solingen?”
“Oh, that, I took care of it. Poseidon has Chernobog, but not before he helps another Familia take a kingdom.”
“Y-you took on the Chernobog Familia on your own!” shouted Hers.
“I watched them for months so, of course, I would prepare to take them out as fast as possible, and well, help from the city was useful.” Cirrus then takes a bit of his food. “So how far have you mapped on Vritra’s Familia?”
“Ahem!” Hers clears his throat. “Lydia, if you will.”
Lydia goes and gets a map and lays it down. They filled it with various bits of information.
“Now where to start?”
