"Ugh! My head"
Cabrera's eyes opened as he instinctively latched onto his aching head while his eyes darted around.
Cabrera found himself in a dark cave that glittered and wondered…
'Where am I?'
It seed the question triggered sothing within his mind, causing a massive wave of nausea to hit him.
Different mories began to co together like the nding of a broken vase.
The headache only increased for a whole minute, before receding like it was never there.
Such an ordeal left Cabrera sweating and breathing heavily, his face looking downwards as he let out quick breaths in succession. At the sa ti, his eyes gained a bit of tranquility.
'I see, so that's what happened'
He recalled the scene of him going out of Kingsre towards…sowhere?
Cabrera's mind ca to a halt as he tried to rember, but all he ca to was a blank.
The na and location of the place he had gone to after Kingsre, Cabrera couldn't rember.
No, more than that, a lot of things that happened before that…he couldn't rember!
'Maybe I'm still a bit tired' Cabrera thought in an effort to sort out a logical answer to the situation.
But he had to throw out such thoughts when he figured out that the blank slates on his mind were more than one.
He rembered traveling with the boys on horses for a whole week, but he couldn't rember where they were going.
And it only got worse from there.
Whether they arrived at their intended destination, and whatever it was that they had done there, he didn't know, nothing ca up.
After that, he recalled finding the place they were currently in…and his eyes shined!
'A mithril mine!' he figured, before calming down monts later.
He couldn't be sure, but he felt that sothing was missing in the mories he was seeing.
But the mont he tried to recall it, an intense headache, a notch higher than the one before, hit him.
Then it clicked in his mind, making him spring to his feet.
'Where are the boys?'
Yes! His guild mbers, where were they? He needed to find out what happened to him, but more importantly, he needed to find his guild mbers.
His brain had already started thinking about how to get out of the cave when his leg hit sothing.
Cabrera turned around to see each one of his boys sleeping with their backs resting on the wall, no signs of battle on any of their figures.
He couldn't help but release a sigh of relief as he cald himself from most of the tension. Afterwards, he began perusing all the details of the cave with his eyes.
It was then that he noticed sothing reflecting light on his finger.
Then it hit him…
'My space ring!'
And there were two of them!
Quickly, he focused his mind and commanded the ring to bring out all that was within it.
Wind fluctuated and then rations of food began appearing seemingly out of thin air into Cabrera's arm as he arranged them on the floor.
Afterwards ca food rations, armor parts and weaponry of silver-rank, and then, vials of the blood boiling potion.
After seeing that nothing seed unusual, he found that the mories of his eting with the Alchemists were clear.
He also rembered the functions of the blood boiling potion, and then, the mory of him collecting an astronomical debt from the sentinel also popped up along with how he had spent it.
He could recall bits and pieces of a mory where he was sitting in the guild's forr base with two figures. Their visage in his mory was shrouded in fog, so couldn't see or rember their faces.
In addition, so of things that were said seed to have disappeared from his mind, but that which he was able to rember contained how he would deal with the debt situation and so other things he was to achieve before returning to Kingsre.
He would have to rethink those plans though, because he needed to find out what was happening to him as soon as possible.
When he was sure there was nothing to see here, he sucked everything back into his spatial ring, then proceeded to empty out the other.
Only, all that appeared in his palm was a single scroll.
'Hmm?' he suddenly got curious.
There was so much stuff in the first ring, but only a scroll in this one.
'Maybe it has sothing to do with the current situation?' Cabrera thought as he opened up the scroll.
The minute he did, the scroll brightened up and, as if that wasn't enough, a voice suddenly began to speak, causing Cabrera to jump back in fright, leaving the scroll to fall to the floor.
He wasn't unnerved that a voice ca out from the scroll, but that the voice…was his own!
His heart pounded as he stood still for a whole minute while he cald himself.
Thereafter, he approached the scroll, which had stopped speaking, picked it up and brought it to his face.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the brown scroll full of different markings to his full view and, like before, it brightened up and the voice began speaking.
"*Clears throat*Clears throat* If you're listening to this…Wait, what am I saying? Anyways, if I'm listening to this…Okay, this is a bit confusing. Anyways, you don't have to worry about your lost mories. It was my…your…own doing. In ti, you and all the boys shall have it returned to you. Before that…eh…just make sure to follow up with the plan till the end. Hmm…you, I, might want a more detailed explanation on this, but just do as you've doing and trust your instincts. Oh yes, I don't know if you'll rember, but leave the Mithril in the mine, Nathan will help us deal with it. Don't forget to kill lots and lots of beasts and bring them back to Kingsre. Also, another three boys died to monster attacks along the way, that's why there are fourteen. And…that's it"
Cabrera stared blankly at the scroll for a few minutes after the ssage had ended before suddenly bursting into laughter.
True enough, it didn't really explain the situation, but he doubted anyone other than him would word such an important ssage in such a nonsensical manner.
"Haa.." once he was done with his hearty laugh, he looked at the boys still asleep.
"Let's get to work"
