Chapter 8: The Fifth Visitor

Soon, everyone rushed to the portal in complete confidence... All knew that after the first seven visitors will come out, many more will follow, and the powers of the Gods will grow stronger... However, these visitors are still vunerable to Hebarn's dark power... When they arrived, they saw Kirnale, Eldeon and Junon, just waiting for the next visitor to arrive...

Arua: everything ok, Eldeon?
Eldeon: Yes.. Kirnale has seemed to recover now...
Kirnale: Yeah.. but still what is my mission here?
Junon: The goddess will tell you soon... For now, we must wait... Another of your kind is approaching...
Arua: Yes... 3 more and the new party is assembled...
Junon: However... there is still a possibility that they might betray us...
Eldeon: Yes... Their minds are cleared up thus they are prone to Hebarn's dark ways...
Arua: Yes... But I know the fairies can watch over them...

Meanwhile on another side, Ska, Karkia and Orlo discuss about whats happening with the visitors...

Karkia: (Wears mask of surprise) You taught Lilith the Visitor the basics of item crafting and trade?
Orlo: Yeah.. she seems kinda interested with cash I think...
Ska: Yeah... Me and my mom as well as Sugar helped Namiele in learning Luna's secrets...
Karkia: (Wears mask of Joy) Oh that's good... Keeping Luna's heritage alive will surely make the fallen Goddess Happy...
Orlo: Yeah... Pepper and Salt are teaching Lucid how to fight efficiently...
Karkia: Are they doing well?
Orlo: Well... Better ask the fairies...
Karkia: Oh alright then...

Karkia went to the fairies and asked them about Lucid, Phage, Lilith the Demigod and Altana are also there discussing with the fairies...

Pepper: Kirnale is ok right now...
Salt: Good... I've gotta teach him the basics of fast fighting as well....
Phage: That means dual wielding and assasin tricks, right?
Salt: Yes.. However-
Karkia: Heya... How is Lucid doing with his training?
Salt: He's arrogant as always...
Pepper: He always ends up being beaten...
Lilith(demigod): ....Reminds me of those Jellybean... always persistent....
Altana: Yes... too persistent-wait! The portal is shimmering!!! Everyone quick!

Everyone rushed to the portal opening... Meanwhile, The 4 visitors in front of the altar are staring blankly at the flashing light...

Lucid: Wow...
Lilith: So... Beautiful...
Namiele: Yes... The magic here is strong...
Kirnale: Look, a person!

Soon, a young man came out of the portal... It was Eriol, Namiele's rival in magic. He had a strong sense of magic... Soon, Namiele was quite suspicious....

Namiele: I don't trust that person.. He looks ok... But we didn't when we came out of there...
Lilith: We'll never know until we found out....
Lucid: Let's go ask him!

They approached Eriol, but as they drew near, Eriol, suddenly collapsed...

Sugar: Oh no!
Arua: Quick! Bring him to the infirmary! The rest of you grab some of the medical equipment!

Soon, Eriol opened his eye, and saw Arua's face...

Arua: you awake?
Eriol: Yeah... Where am I...
Arua: You're on the realm of the seven hearts.. But you're still a bit weak... better for you to rest for a while...
Eriol: I can't... I must know... More...

Soon, Eriol collapsed... Arua talked to Karkia about the portal's ability....

Arua: I dunno... Not only is your spell make them forget their memories... It also made them weaker than before!
Karkia: (Wears mask of sorrow)I apologize... I'll try to fix it up right away!

Soon, Karkia started fixing it... Meanwhile, Junon and Arua are left alone....

Junon: 5 down... Two to go...
Arua: And I hope Karkia had made the adjustments right...
Junon: Yes.. We need every ounce of strength in this...
Arua: Yes.. but for now we must rest...

And so, they indeed went back to rest, knowing that the enxt day will be a busy one...
