To Walk The Mist - 111 The light realm opens 2

“Yes, plus the age restriction of one being under hundred years, it is better to raise a disciple who has a stronger chance of surviving there to go bring back ores for their masters. Because of this, it is better to be an organization. Because they send in more people, and bring out more ores. It is now the greatest training ground for the young.” Tie Nse said.

“You will have to tell me all you know about that place since you have been there before.” Nti Anem said.

“What do you mean? I have only spent ten days in that place, why do you think those idiots think I am still a child?!” Tie Nse said begrudgingly and Nti Anem raised a brow.

“When the light realm opens, it closes after four hours and opens again in not lesser than five years. People don’t age in there, it may seem like no time has passed, but it has. Though you grow at the pace outside and one’s cultivation grows slower there, it is not truly slow. It would take many a few decades to level up out here, but in there, you could level up in three to four thousand years.”

“Only three to four years out here. That is fast.”

“Yes. So, like others I went too. I was the youngest then, only fifty or so. During my time, this tomb I want to send Ed to was popular. You see, many that had gone the last time came back with maps. The did not understand what kind of energy this was and were planing to go back, hoping to retrieve treasures. So, by the time the light realm opened for me to enter, everyone was aiming to be the first to reach there. Many powers made strong arrays to send their disciples there first. When the light realm opened, everyone was rushing for it’s centre; where the tomb was hidden. I too was one of them. Many soon discovered that the tomb was dangerous. When one came too close, they would die horribly. So, we sat around for ten days, then I made my move. When I came close enough, the energy wrapped around me and ejected me from the light realm.” to Tie Nse’s words, Nti Anem frowned.

“How did the energy feel? Is this energy rampant in the light realm?” he asked.

“Feel? I slightly felt the boy’s energy once when I first talked to him about being my disciple. I did not dare touch it, but it was familiar.” Tie Nse said, and Nti Anem fell silent.

“Tell me more about the boy. I am his master, I need to know.” Tie Nse said.

“I know very little. He is a prince, only son of his parents, heir to two kingdoms, someone sent him here to die.” he said and Tie Nse frowned.

“While I followed him as a roaming soul, I saw when he received his quest, I was waiting for a moment of vulnerability to posses him. That woman; the oracle, something about her seemed familiar, from the time I was alive, fighting with Mother Slah. Something about her seemed ancient. I felt that she had seen me perched around him, but she did nothing to make me suspicious. Still, I felt she saw me even though she did nothing. She definitely sent him there to die. Why? I don’t know.” Nti Anem said.

“Where?”

“The Mist. She said he needed fortification on his quest. This was normal. Many took such trials to fortify them on their quest. It kept them alive and made sure they survived. But no one ever sends one to the rippers. The only test they can administer, is the trial of the mist. She definitely wants him to die in here.” he said.

“What quest was he on?” Tie Nse frowned.

“I don’t claim to understand the way his mind works. I only followed him around later on. He went to save her. I am not sure why he took the quest. But he followed her around for a while. I can not tell you about that because I could not follow him while she was there. There is something wrong with that sister in white. That girl….” he started to say.

“Shut up!” Ed’s voice sounded from inside, startling the two to look his way, but the door to the room was firmly shut.

“You are awake?” Tie Nse asked, “What’s so bad about talking about your darling eh? I can’t believe you are so young, yet already following girls. Even a brooding boy like you knows how to follow girls?”

Nti Anem walked over and open the room door when he heard no response from Ed and found that Ed was still lying down in deep sleep.

“He is sleeping?” he asked with a frown.

“Sleeping?” Tie Nse asked coming closer. Seeing Ed’s dead-like sleeping form, he paused.

“He is reacting to someone talking about her in such deep sleep?” Nti Anem asked.
