Chapter 91:
Arthur's Point of View
Reed Farmstead
I was back at the farm, and it wasn't two days later after my journey that two Zugal, Greigh and Ziah, dropped by. Both landed near Cassidy, who rely waved and pointed at the house. I frowned as they looked up at my window, where I saw them staring at . Part of wanted to flip them the bird, but I was still unsure if it would be considered racist.
The three started making their way to the house, and I rolled my eyes. My armor and everything was on since I had been ditating with my sword. However, I had a feeling I wasn't going to be able to do that today. Sure enough, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs, followed by a knock on my door, which I ignored.
"Ah know yer in there, Arthur."
"No, you don't." I replied. "I could've left before you knew I was gone."
"Ya just replied." The redhead pointed out.
Obviously. "Do you have any proof?" Cassidy, at that point, decided to let herself in like the rude individual she was. "Wow. Rude."
Rolling her eyes, she crossed her arms. "Ya got guests."
Greigh and Ziah stepped inside as I continued to try and ditate. "Technically speaking, I am a guest as well, which makes them your guests, not mine."
One of them stepped forward, and my eyes snapped open on Greigh as he halted his approach upon seeing my eyes up close. "General." The male Zugal started as I kept my gaze on him. "The Priestesses would like to see you and Cassidy at the Temple." He inford .
My eyes flickered to Ziah, who quickly avoided my gaze, and I quickly turned to Cassidy, who was eyeing the dresser where my heart used to lie. "Why?"
"Do the Priestesses need a rea-" Ziah began, but I turned back to her and cut her off.
"Yes. Why do they want to co to the Temple?" I asked again.
Greigh frowned. "I am unsure, Sir."
Cassidy turned toward , and I gave her a sideways glance, which she shrugged in response. "Fine." Opening a portal in the room surprised them and made a few of them suspicious. "Who wants to go first? I just learned this, so I'm almost positive nothing bad will happen."
"Uh, what is that?" Cassidy asked.
"Transportation, Cassidy. It's faster than Zugal airlifts." I told her and placed my sword on my back. "Follow or don't."
Stepping through the bluish portal, I ended up appearing right outside the Temple. A few Town Guards on duty looked surprised and alard at my sudden arrival but did nothing suspicious. It didn't take long for Greigh, Ziah, and Cassidy to follow through, which helped put the others at ease.
Greigh stepped beside and looked at . "You can teleport?"
I shrugged. "Portals are closer to warping, in my opinion. Teleportation isn't exactly in my repertoire of skills."
The Zugal frowned. "Sir, I believe this may be obvious to you, but most of us have never seen soone, who is not an Elf, use magic. Any of your techniques are-"
"Are not magic related." I finished for him and corrected him before tapping him on the back. "Now, don't we need to be sowhere."
Greigh beca quiet and slowly walked off as Ziah stepped behind him. "Please follow us, Sir."
"Do ya have ta act like that?" Cassidy inquired as we walked behind them.
"Like what?" I asked back.
"Like ya don't care about others as much as ya pretend to." She stated.
Stopping suddenly got the two Zugal to stop as well as I looked at the redhead. "You seem to have so misconceived notion about the kind of man I am, Cassidy. I act on whims and fancies that are usually not thought out or for personal reasons." Continuing our trek, the two Zugal looked concerned as Cassidy just shook her head. "Never forget that."
Greigh took the lead once again, and we ca to a new room. One I had never been in. It was revealed from the opening of ornate double doors that appeared to be enchanted. Inside was the two Priestesses on what looked like thrones. Beams of light ca in from one side of the room as there were no windows, which allowed so manner of vines to weave in and out of them. Streams flowed through the stone in small lines while there were three waterfalls lined up behind the thrones.
"Presenting General Arthur Pendragon." Greigh kneeled with Ziah and Cassidy while I just rolled my eyes.
Didn't want to be a King, and I certainly didn't want to be a General, but if I had to choose between the two, being a King had way more perks. I eyed the three next to for a mont before shaking my head in annoyance and turned to Arceana and Elincia, who were watching carefully. They didn't seem to appreciate my refusal to bow but didn't say anything about it.
However, it wasn't just them. Typhon, Kine, Floyd, Ayda, Alwin, and Kheri were all present with a bunch of people I had never seen before. All rather young from the looks of them. Young adults to teenagers in my eyes, and each of them had their eyes focused on . This confused for a mont, but I ignored them as I returned my focus to the priestesses.
"Welco, Sir Arthur." Arceana began.
"Sup." I said with a bob of my head in a nonchalant manner.
Arceana looked unimpressed, but that was pretty much the status quo for this ti period. "I am sure you are curious as to why we summoned you today..."
Closing my eyes, I replied. "An incredibly small amount."
Rembering how I acted and spoke before spending three years in the past was also sothing I had been working on over the course of the last week. From the reactions of those around, I'd say I succeeded.
