Chapter 003 - Rain Village And A New World

"Really? Real Gold? Are you sure?"

"What? Real Gold?"

" Yes, yes...real Gold. That Gold digger Robert verified it himself. And you know what's that mean right?"

" Are they some royals from Metal country?"

" I think that too. And, who else will bring a chunk of Gold in this Rain village?"

"But why are they exchanging the Golds for money? They have Gold, but they don't have money?"

"It sure sounds a bit shady, but why should we care? As long as we can exchange a little money with even a grain of the Gold..."

"Hahaha right?"

" By the way where are they staying? They must be wearing some high quality attires, right?"

"Not at all!? And the most surprising thing is they are spotted near that broken building, end of the forest. Everyone was saying that they might started to live there and made it their base."

"Wow that's so cool"

" Are you some kind of retard? Who has a horrible taste to live in a haunted and broken building? That's shady man...What is cool in that?"

" Hey bastard, I am not a retard You, your whole family is retard, I love horror things"

"What did you say….."

After coming here Finn sold one of the little chunk of Gold he brought from his hometown. Meanwhile, they gathered quite a bit of knowledge of this world while exchanging Golds.

And because of that he came to know that how big this new world is.

First of all, This huge continent is divided in five main nations. They are Fire, Water, Wind, Metal, Lightning. And also a hidden organisation named No Light Darklands. This organisation, that no one knows where it's located. There are some rumours that this organization actually never have a single piece of land.

They are like phantoms. They can be anywhere but no where. In reality this No Light Darklands is an assassins' cult. They only work at night. You can sometime see them at night seating on high branches of trees. No one knows how to join them.

Asides from the five nations, there's also a floating island. The most powerful familes of this world live there. They watch over the security of this continent.

Water country is high in water resources. In this Country, everyone is depended on the water resources. They have rivers for travelling. Small seas for long distance travelling. Short streams for short distance travelling. And almost all of the year, they have enough raining. This country is using hydropower everywhere.

"This is annoying as hell! I can't bear with this non-stop raining."

"Really, my skin is wrinkled all over my body, because of this long exposure to the water."

"Damn this rain village. Why do we have to teleport here of all places?"

This place is called Rain Village. This is a small village of water country. Because of constant raining all year long, this place goot it's name, Rain Village."

But still, after hearing all those stories of this vast world Finn couldn't help but feel amazed. He mumbled in his own while looking at the rain through the broken window-

"It's really is a big world, Father, as you said....Thank You..."

"Hey bro what are you doing there by posing like a hero of a sad story? Come down here I went outside and bought something to eat. As you said these currencies are really low in value. And what is this material anyway?"

"How should I know? I was already a newbie in your big village. And this is far more bigger than your big village. Any way what I can see that there are some waves are drawn on the coins and notes. And the notes and coins are blue mean they are representing water country. The people call this currencies, Aqua."

"Aah! Put down your ignorance about me. Am I that dumb to understand this?"

" I answered what you asked"

Finn smirked a little.

"Whatever, it's fine, you are a bad brother. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad"

"Hey, hey stop whining already. I went to collect more data about this world but this library is broken. We have to travel far in the central library of country capital."

"Then when are we leaving?"

".…."

"Why are you standing there with that pitiful face towards me?"

"How ignorant of you? We just came here. It's only been two days. And you are thinking of leaving already?"

"What? We are staying?"

"Stop whining like a little child. We are in a brand new world. We have to survey it as much as we can. And gather as much information, we can gather."

"Hm! I know that too. I was just testing you"

Finn gave a smile of relief and shake his head with hand and meshed with his hair. Galliyan gave a "Aah, Stop already". But he didn't stopped.

"You should stop acting tough already. Now go and wash your hands. I brought chicken meat. Let's grill it."

" Yea! I love Grilled meat so much. I am going now"

Finn gave a smile of relief again. He has calmed down a lot. Finn became a actual brother of him in these days.

Galliyan went to wash his hand from a jar of water, they brought before. A drop of water flow through his cheeks.

"I know you are doing all you can for me. You must have found out that I love grilled meat from sis right?"

He threw some water to his face to wash the face but rather hide his tears from his brother for stop giving him more worries. No matter how much they bad-mouth each other, they truly care a lot about each other too. After all they are brothers.

Finn gave a smile again. After all he can hear his heart beat calming down from far.

After a while,

"Finn, why don't you tell me about your mysterious book now."

"This is a family hairloom, left by my father."

"What does it do? I saw that, you can make it appear from thin air, is that magic?"

"I don't know myself."

"Then?"

"Before my father died, he handed it over to me. He was an amazing archeologist. He was the one who found that tomb like ruin first. Me, nor my father knew anything about this book. It was just like any other books on the shelf except, we never able to read it back then."

"Then how are you able to do it?"

"After father died, I sold everything, and took only the necessities with me. Then, I ventured deep into the ruin. After a long time, I found a stone alter."

"Like that alter?"

"Yeah. The more I went near the alter, I felt a chill on my back. When I reached at the front of the alter, I felt like back was almost frogen. I took out book. I couldn't even hold that book on my hand. My palms were almost frogen. But a sudden idea strucked my mind and I put the book on the alter. Nothing like today happened back then."

"There was no light?"

"No, Instead I heard a talking voice. At first, I thought I hallucinated because of lack of Oxygen. But, later I found out, he was a residual consciousness of our ancestor. He then told me to drop my blood on the book and he dissappeared."

"For what?"

"Something like a blood contract. After dropping the blood, Something changed into me. My whole body was like in a oven, I felt so much pain and passed out. When I woke up, I found out, that my senses have been hightened. And more of all, my blood's colour colour has been changed."

"Changed?"

Finn went to his bag and took out his dagger, then he ran it on his hand.

"White blood?"

Galliyan has never seen or hear that, a person can have white blood.

"Yes, I was shocked to see it at first too? And the blood has a golden hue to"

After a few seconds of silence Finn continued talking...

"With the new awakened senses, I was able to sense the paths of the ruins much better...and that's how I was able to get out of there and stumbled upon your village. And you already know, what happened after that..."
