Tevon's work was finished until then, so he dismissed Cesar and Lefelob before reminding them to return with the Sunolite.

"Guys, I have an appointment now and I must be away from here until tomorrow... I remind you to come back here as soon as you have the Sunolite... Go to the coordinates you found in the last castle and I recommend... Be careful!!".

Yoru took them out and sent them away.

"See you guys... " he said, before turning around to get back into the mansion.

Cesar and Lefelob were about to go the same way as before, but Lefelob had a doubt.

"Oh, Yoru... " he said, turning to the entrance of the mansion.

Yoru had already disappeared into thin air, almost as if he had vanished.

"Ah, he's gone... " said Lefelob.

"Lefelob, how far is the next castle??".

"I don't know... " said Lefelob, taking some of the maps to consult.

Cesar read the coordinates and communicated them to Lefelob, who looked for her on one of the many maps they had.

"The coordinates mark a point in nation 6... it is not very far, it is on the north-west side of the continent, close to nation 10... ".

The two of them started to walk down the gravel path they had taken before, coming out of that forest.

They headed towards Nation 6, stopping for two nights inside some abandoned campsites, in which there were still some sleeping bags.

One evening the two lit a bonfire and sat down around the fire. A discussion began on various topics.

"Lefelob... you miss your father very much, I suppose... ".

Lefelob did not answer, but upon hearing that phrase he remembered his father's memories.

He watched the crackling fire burning wood beneath it, while his eyes were bright with tears.

"You don't want to answer I guess... I never saw my parents, my grandfather never told me if they were dead or alive... He never told me... " said Cesar.

That abandoned camp was nestled in a forest, the trees were full of crickets, owls, and other animals producing relaxing sounds.

"Lefelob... " said Cesar.

Lefelob continued not to answer.

"Do you think it will be a long journey? To reach the Vèiger... ".

This time Lefelob decided to answer.

"Cesar, I don't know... The castles are few, among all those that there are seem to be fifteen... So I do not know, it could take a long time... But if Tevon gives us the coordinates to the Great Castle, it might take less time... ".

"I am honestly a little afraid... " admitted Cesar.

"Afraid of what? To reach the Vèiger??" asked Lefelob, turning to him.

"Also... But I'm afraid of Hinaji too, I know that the clash with him will be inevitable... But knowing that it possesses the power of the moon, which from what I have understood is the most feared power, I am afraid... Then, the Kormany who could discover my power at any moment... I don't know, I'm afraid... ".

"I know... I admit that I'm scared too... But we don't have to think about it now... Let's go to sleep, tomorrow we should arrive at the nation 6... " answered Lefelob.

The two fell asleep on two of the sleeping bags they found there. 

The morning came and Cesar and Lefelob awoke, resuming their journey.

"We should be there... " said Lefelob, looking at one of the maps.

They arrived at a village which immediately aroused the doubts of the two.

"Are you sure this is the right village?" asked Cesar.

"The coordinates mark this point here... So I assume that's it... " replied Lefelob.

That village was completely abandoned and destroyed. Lefelob looked at the map more closely, while Cesar began to explore those dilapidated palaces.

He entered a destroyed building and began to explore.

The floor was full of dust and rubble, the furniture was destroyed and parts of the ceiling had collapsed.

On the floor of one of the rooms, he found a strange little statue, which represented a white figure, dressed in divine clothes and holding a scepter, on which was drawn the image of a half moon.

"What the... " whispered Cesar to himself, taking in his hand that little object.

He decided to take it with him, putting it in his right pocket.

After putting it in his pocket, on one side of the room he felt a strange force that seemed to drag him towards that point, he was forced to run away not understanding where that strange force came from.

"Lefelob!!" he exclaimed, heading towards him.

Lefelob was still looking at the map, not understanding what he had done wrong.

"I still don't understand what the problem is... This village has no castle, it can't be this... " replied Lefelob.

Cesar, after that, explored again that strange desolate place.

He climbed over one of the destroyed buildings and looked out onto the horizon, noticing that exactly next to that abandoned village there was another.

"Lefelob!! I think I've figured out what we did wrong... Come here!!" exclaimed Cesar.

Lefelob reached Cesar and looked up at the horizon after Cesar pointed him out.

"There it is the right village... There is also the castle, it must be that village the right one... Having reached this before I thought it was the right one... But the coordinates marked a point slightly ahead... ".

"Ahh, look what I found inside one of these buildings... " said Cesar, pulling out the statuette.

"But what is it??" asked Lefelob, surprised by the figure depicted by that statuette.

He looked at her carefully, noticing some details, such as the drawing of the half-moon on the scepter of that statuette.

"I do not know, I found it in a building here and then on one side of the room... " he interrupted.

"No nothing, leave it... " he said, thinking of that strange force that was dragging him to a point in that room.

"Well, Cesar... Let's head for the village... " he said, giving back the statue to Cesar, who was still thinking about that strange force.
