english translation chapter 5
Kaye, Kento, Cye and the professor were the first ones at the coffee shop, so they decided to wait in the far corner for the others. "Professor I think that you better keep your hood up for now." said Kaye.
"This is crazy Kaye, I don't think that this is necessary." said the professor as he started to lower his hood.
Cye stopped the professor before he could get the hood completely off. "I think that Kaye is right with this suggestion professor. You'll be safer, we don't know who broke into your apartment and I'm guessing that when the others get here they'll tell us that your office was broken into as well." replied Cye. The professor put the hood back in place and lowered his hands back to the table.
"Speaking of which, here they come." said Kento as he spotted them at the entrance. Kento waved the others over to where they were.
"How did you three do at the professor's apartment?" asked Ryo.
"We'll tell you all about it in a bit, but first tell us what happened at the university. Did the professor's office get broken into?" asked Cye.
"Yea Cye it did, but we also found a strange carving that was in the wall. It looks like it was just done about a few hours before we got there." replied Rowen.
"Hey who's this guy, is he a witness or something?" asked Sage.
"You could say that Sage, ok professor I think that it's ok now to lower the hood." said Kaye.
The professor slowly lowered the hood from his face. "What is going on here, I thought that you were kidnapped or something?" asked Mia.
"I'm sorry to have made you think that I was taken. I suppose that it's time for the whole story." said the professor.
"I have a suggestion, maybe we should continue this conversation back home instead of out in the open. I think that the people that broke into the professor's apartment and office are still around." said Kaye.
"That is something that I very much agree with, shall we take our leave." replied the professor. Everyone got up from where they were sitting, and left in two separate cars driving back home.
While this was going on, two figures were watching from a distance. "He is going to adversor resist." said the first tracker.
"Yes I know, but he has attestor bear witness to the Arbor Vitae Tree of Life." replied the second tracker.
"But we have to bonae fidei in good faith know that he will not tell them about the elixir vitae potion that prolongs life." said the first tracker.
"If he does you know that we have to report to the pares regni peers of the realm." replied the second tracker.
"Cadit quaestio The question falls, there is no room for further arguement." said the first tracker. Both of them knew that they had no choice but to now take the professor tonight back to the Forgotten City. So the two trackers picked up the trail of the two cars that were going in the direction of the Koji mansion. The two trackers knew that this wasn't the best way to bring the professor back, but they were running out of time.
Just as the two cars pulled up to the Koji mansion, the two trackers hid in the forest until dark. 'Kaye, what's going on? Would you fill me in here, oh and we have two unannounced visitors that are hiding in the forrest.' said Lightning.
'Sorry Lightning, I'll fill you in later I promise. Right now would you mind keeping an eye on our visitors, but stay out of sight.' replied Kaye as she walked into the mansion with the others.
"Professor, go ahead into the livingroom and make yourself comfortable. We'll be there in just a minute." said Kaye as she ushered him in that direction.
"Kaye what's the deal?" asked Kento.
"Lightning noticed that we have a couple of unannounced visitors that have stationed themselves in the forrest. I asked him to keep an eye on them, I didn't want the professor to get alarmed." explained Kaye.
"Ok so now what do we do?" asked Ryo.
"Simple, we talk with the professor like we originally planned and then we'll figure out what to do after that." replied Rowen.
"Fine so let's do this already, I have a feeling that this is not even close to being over." said Mia as she lead the others back into the livingroom. Kaye was carring a tray that had different drinks on it. She set it down on the table and everyone grabbed theirs. Kaye then grabbed the amulet and the white book and gave them to the professor.
"Alright professor, start explaining what is actually going on here? Why did you send me this amulet and then give me the white book? How do these things connect with what you were teaching in class about the Forgotten City?" asked Kaye.
"I'm impressed Kaye with your line of questioning, that's why I asked you to be my assistant, you always keep me on my toes. Anyway, I gave you those items because I know that people from the Forgotten City will come after me and the items. I knew that they would be safe in your hands." replied the professor.
"Ah professor I have a question for ya, it's about the carving that we found at the university that was carved on your wall. What does it mean?" asked Sage as he gave the professor a sketch of the carving.
"It's in a way I guess you would call it a calling card." replied the professor.
"A calling card, who's professor, who would be leaving it on your wall and what is it suppose to mean?" asked Cye.
"It's from a group that originate from the Forgotten City. They are people that have extrodinary tracking abilities. They can track through anything that comes in their path. It means that they have finally found me and they are going to take me back to the Forgotten City." replied the professor.
"But I thought that you told Kaye that you were going back tonight." said Mia.
"Yes I did tell Kaye that, but I didn't realize that they would come this soon for me. I think that it's time for me to leave, I don't any of you want to be involved any more in this." replied the professor as he began to leave.
"Professor wait a minute, you give me these magical items, then you give us some copout explanation about the carving on your office wall, and now you decide to leave just like that." said Kaye with a hint of anger. The professor stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard Kaye's statement.
"I'm sorry Kaye but I can't tell you everything, because if I do, it will be too dangerous for you and your friends. I don't want to put any of you in that kind of situation." replied the professor.
"Can't tell us professor, or won't, there's not much of a difference between the two." said Kaye now getting very angry.
"I'm sorry Kaye, but it has to be handled this way. Be angry with me if you want, but remember that I'm doing this for your own good. Now let me be on my way, I'll tell the two trackers that are in the forrest to leave you and your friends alone." replied the professor as he began to walk out of the front door.
"How did he know about them?" wondered Kaye. Just then there was a loud crash outside. Everyone ran outside to see what happened, they saw Lightning in front of the professor gurading him from the two trackers.
'Lightning I asked you to stay out of sight, what's going on?' asked Kaye.
'I'm sorry Kaye, but they came out of their hidding places and jumped in front of the professor. I couldn't stand by and watch them take him, now could I?' Lightning asked.
"You better call off your tiger girl, or you'll regret it." threatened the first tracker.
"Do it Kaye, call off your tiger, please just do it already." said the professor. Kaye hesitated a bit longer, then finally she called Lightning back from the professor. The two trackers walked up to either side of him.
Then in a ball of light, they were gone. There was no sound anywhere except the echo of a phrase that one of the trackers said before leaving "Caveat Viator."
