Power booster

It was late at night . I was sitting on a bed before Era . I was sitting with my legs folded and I was in the mood for int

Era :

Why have you called me here . I'm getting sleepy .

Jay : (Serious)

I think you should know .

Era :

Even If I know everything about everything still I prefer to talk like a real human being .

Think about it . Would you like to be stared by someone because they know that you know that they know what they are going to say to you.

Era :

Even if I'm a child right now . I want to be treated like a proper lady .

Jay :

What's your age Era .

Era : (Proud)

Well right now I am 10 years old .

Jay :

So when does a child becomes a lady

Era :

Well in this world it's around 16 years and outside is 18 y,e,a,r,s . (Realisation)

Jay :

If I remember first when we came here you came to get us .

Where are your parents Era .

Era : (Cold)

I have no parents , I am just a piece created by your enemy . My birth , lineage , parentage should be of no concern to you .

Jay :

Okay okay chill .

Oh she's already cold .

Jay :

You intend to say you do have a family .

Era :

Well , .. yes . I do .

Jay : (Applying pressure)

And where are they ?

Era : (Feeling pressured)

They .... are ..... somewhere.

Jay : (Strong impression)

Where ?

Era : ( Fires back)

You don't want to go back to your home do you . I was sent here to guide you . Well then you can enjoy your time here with him or shut up about my personal matters.

Jay : (Retreated)

Fine I won't pry . You win .

Era :

I'll do my best to answer everything as long as it is within limits . But it will be limited to 2 per day .

Jay :

Then this one is about the lore . I first heard that the divine era . The elder gods were tormenting humans but there is no sign of them . So does it mean he cancelled the lore .

Era :

Everything is on track . Don't worry about it .

Jay :

2nd question . X sent you here does it mean that you work for him and why .

Era :

Yes , you can say I am a piece capable of moving independently under X's command . While other pieces are a hassle to move because some pieces are tied to the story and it's events So he uses me . And I don't mind it . Because if I did I won't be here .

Era :

And we are done for today .

The day ended . And a new day began .

Serlet woke us up and gave us homemade breakfast . Bread and butter . Though I sometimes feel blessed for having the fire element.

The method of eating the bread with butter in this world is raw .

And I had something that I can use . So I used it .

I heated the butter and spread it on the bread .

Just at the right temperature so that the butter doesn't get burnt or to melted that it changes its state . And some grilling to get the bread crispy .

And done .

Serlet :

May I know what you do for a living .

Jay :

We take in jobs and we earn money from that .

Serlet :

Then I had a request. You see the booster medicine you consumed yesterday was just a prototype. The one I'm making is much more stronger with less side effects but I lack some ingredients.

Can you get them for me .

McElroy:

What do you need ?

Serlet :

Not much just 2 ingredients.

One is the Ash flower . It grows near volcanoes .

and the other is moonlight grass . It grows near damp areas , mostly marshy areas .

Quest name : Herb collection.

Description: Get the required ingredients to complete the medicine .

Quest Rank : C++

Rewards :

Completed power booster .

Failure :

None .

Jay : (Inside his mind)

It says C++ means things aren't going to go easy .

Jay :

Is there something else we should be aware of .

Serlet :

Actually yes . You see the area is a particularly dangerous one .

Both having different flora and fauna results in different beings residing in that area .

Serlet :

Please you're the only one I could ask this too .

McElroy:

We accept your request.

Serlet :

Thank you , my saviors .

Jay :

Two ingredients huh and there are two of us .

McElroy:

Are you thinking what I'm thinking .

Man I would like to avoid the marshy area since it would be a disadvantage for me to fight there .

Then volcanoes would be a safe bet . And since it's without flora I could use fire all I want . but the enemies might have Fire resistance since they live around the volcanoes .

Atleast it would be much better than the marshes .

Jay :

Yes .

Both of them :

I'll go to the volcanoes.

Both of them :

What ?

Jay :

I think a water area suits your element better .

McElroy:

My elemental will work better on enemies around the volcanoes . As they live around high temperatures they will have resistance to your fire .

Jay :

Did you forget that I also control metal . And I could handle it for much longer around the mountains .

So I'm going.

McElroy:

I just have to decrease my body temperature with ice . I would be fine.

Jay :

The volcanoes have volcanic ash it might hurt your body . Causing asthma .

McElroy:

I don't think you would have to worry about that .

Serlet : (Loudly)

Please stop fighting . Both of you .

He showed us a jar.

Serlet :

Here is a jar with both places take only one .

Jay :

Well then I shall go first .

McElroy:

Wait I should be first .

Jay :

Then be my guest .

McElroy: (Distrust)

You already did something didn't you . Then you should go first .

Era removed one chit and gave it to McElroy while the other chit to me .

Era :

I have given these at random so no crying .

I closed my eyes as I believed that Era will not betray me even though she is working for the enemy . But I opened the chit and I was actually shocked with the results .
