Tales of The Central Continent

They finally arrive in the City of Fog, such as Gries who is in charge of. All the Dark Lord's offsprings have their own job, such as Gries is in charge of protecting and handling the City of Fog. Alquen is in charge of the Blood River where the Nether Empire hold their sacrifices every year, they sacrificed people such as the virgins, the youngs, and the unborn. Qillian and Selena has two place to handle because they two are the oldest, Qillian is the Poison Valley and the Monster's Lair, while Selena is in charge of the Dungeon of Sorrow and the Pandora's Grave. Draven didn't have to guard any of this places because he is the future Crown Prince.

" The intruder really going to make me work even more after this, the civilian in this city going to blame me for not protecting this city" Gries groaned in anger that she have to work more after this incident. Draven only laugh lightly of how funny Gries was sulking just then.

They then arrive in the City of Fog, they search around the city but didn't see anyone nor anything suspicious. As they wanted to go back, Gries sense a familiar power that she didn't sure what in one of the houses. The energy wasn't from the other kingdom or a monster, it was something else.

She then get down from her horse and approach the house. Draven quickly realized Gries reaction and follow her steps. They were infront the house as Draven blast the door as Gries command draven to. They sprint inside and to their surprise, there is a guy wearing all black standing inside. The guy wore a glove and a mask so they can't see his face clearly.

Draven then shout " Who are you and why did you come here!". The guy then walk closer toward Gries and said " Just paying a visit to an old friend, why? Can't I?" the last words shocked both Draven and Gries.

Gries then ask "What is your real motive. Don't lie!" she then pull out her bow and arrow towards the anonymous person. Draven then shout, pulling out his sword "You better answer quickly or this sword will go through your chest" The guy smirked and said " Calm down, I don't have any ill attention. I really just want to visit my old pal"

He then look at Gries while walking towards her. "DON'T COME CLOSER" Gries warned." So it's true that you didn't remember me, well it has been a hundred years, how can you remember me" the guy said to himself." Well then if you doesn't remember my voice, maybe you will remember the name I used to call you" the words confused them even more.

The guy then walks away from Gries while saying "I want to talk to you even longer, but I guess I'm not very welcome here". There were shadows all around him "Meet me tomorrow if you have time..." he then took a short glance at Gries "...Little Shadow" he finish his sentence with a warm smile and disappear into shadows.

Something snap in Gries's mind, she wanted to ask the guy something but she was to late,the guy has already gone. Draven stared at Gries confused while the other was zoning out. Gries then came back to her sense.

They both then decided to report what just happened to the Dark Lord. The ride to the castle was quite and fast I dare say. Gries doesn't even took a moment to took a glance. Draven was all confused and full with questions in his mind. After a few minutes, they arrive infront of the castle front gate.

When Gries get down from her horse and wanted to open the gate, Draven ask "Gries, who is that guy". The question frozed Gries. She then let out a long breath, and slowly face Draven.(not romantic okayy💅) "I think that, he is someone I used to know" she answered. Draven wanted to ask another question but was interrupted by Selena who just finished her patrol around the castle.

"You guys just finished patrolling the City of Fog, anything interesting? " Selena asked. Draven wanted to say that they met an anonymous person but was cut of (again) by Gries. Gries told Selena that it was a false alarm and the guards get it wrongly "It was nothing,they thought it was an intruder but it's just a normal robbery, how can someone outside get inside the barrier without permission of Her Highness". Suddenly, Selena pull Gries into a cuddle, "I'm so glad you both didn't get hurt" Selena say releasing Gries from her hold.

They then end their conversation and went inside the palace. "Why didn't you tell her?" Draven ask out of confusion. Gries only shooked her head lightly and smile fondly at Draven. "I hope that you don't mind if I ask you to not tell anyone about today's accident" she then left Draven alone in the hallway all confused and full of questions.

Gries was walking towards the Dark Lord's work room to report the situation they were just in and explain who the anonymous person was. As she arrived infront of the Dark Lord's work room, she think back about the guy she saw earlier. She can't stop thinking about it, but she cleared her mind before entering. She then knock the door and ask for permission to come in. After the Dark Lord told her to come, she push the door open.
