The map

Raja then said, "All right! I hope you don't regret having to share it with everyone later."

And Gen said, "I won't, now let's move on."

Gen then opened the passage to the next room, and the two of them headed toward it. When they got to the end of the corridor, Gen opened the passage, and the two entered the next room. The lights then went on, and they started looking around.

After some time, Raja said, "Wow, so many tables and couches."

Gen then said, "There's a lot of them. What's all this for?"

And Dehji said, "This is an old meeting room."

Gen then said, "A meeting room? This doesn't look like a meeting room. For starters, where's the writing board?"

"It should be in the storage room."

"And where is this storage room?"

"In the direction Raja went."

Raja then said, "Hey, Gen., I found another room in here."

And Gen said, "I'm coming."

He then went towards Raja, and when he arrived, he asked, "Is there a whiteboard in there, Raja?"

"There are several boards of all sizes, but that doesn't matter. Look what I found inside.", said Raja, stretching out his hand.

Gen then looked at his hand and said, "Is that a billiard ball?"

"Exactly. Do you know what that means?"

"No."

"That means there's a pool table somewhere in here. Come with me, Gen, help me look for it."

"Okay."

The two of them then began to rummage around the room, and as time went on, you could hear Raja saying, "Hey Gen, I found a set of chess."

And Gen said, "I found a set of darts."

The two then continued their rummaging, and Gen said, "You said this is a meeting room, right? Why do you have so many games here?"

And Dehji said, "Huh? Because it's a meeting room?"

"What do you mean, Dehji? Wouldn't the games take the focus off the people in the meeting?"

"Maybe so, but that was a common thing in all meetings in the time of the empire."

"Hmm, got it."

Gen then saw a table with a green cloth in front of him and said, "Raja, I found it."

And Raja said, "Where?! Let me help you."

He then went towards Gen, and the two of them started to take the things that were on top of the table. 

After taking everything off, Raja said, "Let's take it outside."

And Gen said, "Ok."

The two of them then started to carry it to the point where they brought it out of the storage room.

Raja then said, "Let's play a game, Gen.", and then he began to arrange the balls on the table.

And Gen said, "Well ... I guess there's time to play a game, but we have to do it fast."

"No problem, let me get ... the cues! We forgot to get the cues, Gen."

"That's right. Well, never mind, we'll play some other time."

"Hold on, Gen, give me five minutes, and I'll find the cues in the storage room."

"Better not, Raja, it's going to get late. Don't forget that we still have to buy clothes after here."

"... You're right. All right, let's do it next time."

The two then headed towards the wall with the markings and then headed towards the next room.

On the way there, Dehji said, "The next room is the last room."

And Gen asked, "What do you mean, Dehji? How do you know that the next room is the last?"

"Well, I think I already know what this place is."

"Really? Then tell us."

"Wait a little longer. We're already going to the last room. There, I'll confirm it and explain it to you."

"Okay.", and they then continued towards the room.

When they arrived, Gen opened the passage, and after the lights came on, they started looking around.

Raja then said, "What is this place? It's much smaller compared to the other rooms. What are these metal objects?"

The place was not even half the size of the other rooms, and the only thing that was in there were some chairs around a medium-sized table and some metal objects in the corners of the walls.

Dehji then said, "Let's go to that table in the center of the room."

And Gen said, "Okay.", and started toward it.

When they arrived at the table, Gen noticed something and said, "Is that a map on the table?"

He then came closer to it, and dehji said, "Gen, Raja, sit in the chairs."

Raja then said, "Why sit?"

And Dehji said, "Trust me, it's going to be cool."

"Well, if you're saying so, fine then."

The two then sat down, and right after that, the map on the table seemed to have come to life. It started to float, and then it generated two smaller-scale copies so that Raja and Gen could see everything at the same time.

Gen then said, "What happened, Dehji?"

And Dehji said, "Easy Gen, you haven't seen anything yet. Try saying, 'current location'."

"Okay. Current location."

Right after he said that a green dot appeared on the map, and Raja asked, "What is that green dot?"

Dehji then said, "That's the location we are in now."

"Is it showing where we are?"

"Yeah."

"That's cool."

"I know, hahaha. Try to say the name of the city you're heading to tomorrow."

Raja then said, "Ok. Tólis."

The map then stayed still without doing anything until a point where an enormous red 'X' appeared, covering the whole map.

Raja then said, "Did I do something wrong?"

And Gen asked, "What happened Dehji?"

Dehji then said, "You didn't do anything wrong, Raja. The map just doesn't recognize the name. After all, it is a map from the time of the empire. If you had a more recent map, maybe it would be possible to locate this city."

Gen then said, "Maybe so, but I doubt we would find a map as detailed as this one today. The best map I've seen doesn't even come close to the quality and detail of this one."

And Raja said, "That's right, I've never seen a map of this region as detailed as this one either."

Dehji then said, "I understand, but that's no problem. Maybe we can find it in another way. Which direction was it again?"

And Gen said, "From what I've been told, it's south of here."

"Okay, then try to say, 'cities south of my location'."

Raja then said, "Let me do it. Just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong."

And Gen said, "All right, go ahead."

"Cities south of my location."

the map then stood still for a while, and Raja said, "Is it really me?"

Dehji then said, "No, it's just finishing looking up the cities.", and right after he finished talking, the map showed some green dots south of where they were.

Gen then said, "Wow, so many cities."

Dehji then said, "Don't be fooled by the number. As you already know, this map is from the time of the empire, so many cities may not even exist anymore."

And Gen said, "Got it. That makes sense."

"Try looking for this city called Tólis among the cities that the map is showing."

Raja then said, "It's going to be a little hard to find just by its position on the map."

And Dehji said, "No problem, just say 'names'. That should make it easier to find."

"Let me try. Names."

The names of the cities then began to appear on the map, and Gen and Raja then began to look at the green dots on the map.

Gen then said, "There's one of them in the southeast of here whose name is Arpólis. I wonder if that's the place."

And Raja said, "Well, the names are kind of similar.", "Dehji, do you know what this city of Arpólis looks like?"

Dehji then said, "Arpólis? Let me think about it."

And Gen said, "Okay."

Dehji was quiet for a while, and then he said, "I remembered! Arpólis is the city of those cocky people with water-related essences. Is that where you're going?"

Gen then said, "Well, I don't know about water essences, but Tólis is known as the city of water."

"It must be the same place."

Raja then asked, "It's nice that we can find the city on the map and all, but what are we doing this for?"

And Gen said, "Now that you said it, it's true, what are we doing this for, Dehji?"

Dehji then said, "It's pretty simple, but first, let me ask you something."

And Gen said, "Go ahead and ask."

"How are you guys planning on going to Tólis?"

Raja then said, "Well, I found a group of merchants that are going to go to Tólis. Gen and I just need to talk to them, and I'm sure they won't refuse the help of two awakened people."

And Dehji said, "I see. How long should it take you to get there?"

"Well, from what I've heard, about two weeks, why?"

"Well, what if I told you, you can get there in just two days."

"Two days? There's no way to get there that fast."

"Well, it must be really strange to you, but at the time of the empire, anyone could get there in just five days."

"Anyone?"

"Yes."

Gen then asked, "And how is that possible? And by the way, you're talking, is it still possible to do that today?"

"Yes, it is, but today, not just anyone could go. You would need a certain transportation that doesn't exist today."

Raja then asked, "And what transportation is that? Where can we find it?"

And dehji said, "You don't need to find it because you are already inside it."
