english translation chapter 7

"Teofilo, he's back professor Manlio is back!" exclaimed Tobias as he pulled on Teofilo's robe.

"Slow down Tobias, now calmly tell me where professor Manlio is." replied Teofilo.

"He's in the city square with the council members. If we don't hurry..." said Tobias.

"Well then why didn't you say that in the first place instead of charging in here like a freneticus madman." replied Teofilo as they ran to the city square.

"Do you professor Manlio, have anything to say in your defense?" asked council member Poncio.

"Nescio quid dicas I don't know what you're talking about." replied professor Manlio.

"Don't be so evasive with us professor Manlio, you do know why Nuzio and Nahilus were sent after you. Now, I'll ask you again, do you have anything to say in your defense?" asked council member Poncio.

"Yes I do understand why you sent the two best trackers after me. Actually, I'm surprised that you didn't send them out sooner. But ex mea sententia in my opinion, I believe that I did the right thing in leaving. Otherwise there wouldn't have been any city left if I had stayed, now would there?" explained professor Manlio.

"I suppose that the time for judgement is at hand, since professor Manlio refuses to explain fully his actions of what he did and why he left." said council member Reyes. Just as the council was to pass judgement, the two seers came running towards them.

"Wait, don't pass judgement just yet, please let us talk with him!" yelled Teofilo.

"Fine then seers, I'll let you have council with him, but make sure to notify us when you have finished." replied Romanos.

"Agreed." replied Tobias. The council members and the two trackers left professor Manlio with the two seers.

"It is good to see the both of you again, I've missed our talks." replied professor Manlio.

"As we have missed you, but please Manlio will you explain to us why you had to leave the Forgotten City?" asked Teofilo.

"How could you understand? Unitam logica falsa tuam phiosophiam totam suffodiant My faulty logic undermine your entire philosophy." replied professor Manlio.

"Please professor Manlio, try to enlighten us." pleaded Tobias.

"You should have known why I've left Tobias." replied professor Manlio.

"Manlio, we are seers not mind readers." said Teofilo.

"Then you should have seen that I was leaving. You knew that what I saw was forbidden, so I had to leave." replied professor Manlio.

"Yes I did have visions of you leaving as well as what happened, but I didn't want to believe it. So I ignored them and told no one." said Teofilo.

"It looks like we are going to have to continue this conversation at another time. It looks like the council members and the trackers are coming back." replied Tobias as he motioned to the six that were coming in their direction.

"Well seers, did you get an explanation out of professor Manlio?" asked council member Poncilo.

Meanwhile...

"Ok, now we have a map of how the city is laid out, but if this place is hidden from the world for so long, then how are we suppose to find it when no one else can?" asked Sage. As an answer to his question, Kaye held up both the white book and the amulet.

"Of course, why didn't I see it before, that white book and the amulet are going to transport us there." said Sage sarcastically.

"Actually Sage, yea in a way they are." replied Kaye.

"What do you mean in a way, it's either yes directly to the location or no not even close try again?" asked Ryo.

"Well Ryo, like everything else, magic does have it's limits. They can only take us so far and then were on our own." replied Kaye as she packed them into her backpack and headed for the door.

"Hey where are you going Kaye?" asked Cye.

"I'm going back to the university Cye, there's something that I want to check out before this adventure begins. Hey Mia do you want to come with me?" replied Kaye.

"Sure, I'll drive if that's fine by you?" asked Mia.

"Actually that would be great thanks Mia, well then let's go. We shouldn't be too late guys, see ya when we get back." said Kaye as she and Mia walked out the door. Mia started her car and off they went towards the university.

"Kento, I'm surprised that you didn't go with them." said Rowen as he ventured over to the couch.

"Yea actually so am I. Why didn't you go too?" asked Ryo curiously.

"If Kaye and Mia want to go and check something at the university, I'm sure that they'll be just fine. It's not like something will happen there anyway." replied Kento.

"Are you sure Kento, I mean that is where we found that symbol engraved into the professor's wall." replied Sage glancing over at Kento.

"Knock it off Halo, if something does happen, they can take care of themselves." replied Kento in an annoyed fashion. Sage was going to say something to Kento's reply when Cye motioned him not to. Sage understood and he decided to drop it.

"Hey Kento mind if we talk?" asked Cye.

"Sure, whatever Cye." replied Kento

"Outside, now." said Cye sternly as he motioned Kento to join him. They both stepped outside and Cye shut the door behind them, he didn't want the others to hear their conversation.

"Ok, now what the heck was that all about?" asked Ryo.

"To be honest Ryo, I have no clue. I'm just as lost as you are. Rowen?" replied Sage. Rowen just scratched his head to show that he was just as confused as they were. Outside, Cye and Kento were having their own conversation.

"Alright Cye why did you drag me out here?" asked Kento.

"What is with you? Ever since Kaye has went back to school to get her master's degree you've been acting different." replied Cye.

"Why does it matter on how I've been acting, I just don't want to distract Kaye from her studies that's all." said Kento as he crossed his arms acrossed his chest.

"Don't give me that Kento, if that's true, then why don't you talk with her about it then?" asked Cye.

"It's not that simple Cye, late at nights I see her light on in her room, and I know that Kaye is still up studying those books. Then in the mornings she rushes off to the university and doesn't come back until late afternoon, for some daily training." replied Kento.

"I see, Kento if you are so concerned about Kaye's condition, then why didn't you say something before now?" asked Cye.

"I didn't want to distract her, especially since she's so close in getting her master's, and now the professor asked Kaye to be his assistant in his classes." replied Kento.

"Kento, Kaye said that she was maybe, note I said maybe considering the position." said Cye.

"Maybe, why wouldn't she take it. What is Kaye waiting for, it's a great opportunity?" asked Kento.

"First of all Kento, she said that she has to finish getting her masters, and then second she was trying to figure out how to tell you the news." replied Cye.

"Oh I see, but Cye when did Kaye tell you all of this?" asked Kento as he finally relaxed.

"She didn't, Kaye and Mia were talking about it, and I just happened to be in the other room listening. You know how quiet I can be." replied Cye with a smirk.

"Do they know that you were listening in on their conversation?" asked Kento.

"Acutally no, they don't. I thought that I would bring it to your attention so you would stop acting like a complete jerk." replied Cye as he punched Kento on his arm.

"Ok, ok Cye, I give, I'll talk with Kaye about it, but I won't tell her about our conversation." laughed Kento as he and Cye walked back into the mansion.

"Well you two are you guys going to tell us what was all of that about or not?" asked Sage.

"Nope." replied Kento as he went to grab Kaye's keys from the table and began to make his way to the door.

"Kento where are you going with Kaye's car?" asked Rowen.

"I have an errand to run, so I'll be back later." replied Kento as he went out the door.

Meanwhile....

"Alright Kaye what's up you've been quiet ever since we left home. I'm betting that it's more than just what happened with professor Manlio, care to talk about it?" asked Mia as she kept her eyes on the road. Kaye sighed, waiting a little longer to respond to Mia's question.

"Yea it does, I've been that transparrent huh." replied Kaye as she looked over at Mia.

"Ah yea you have, so what's been going on?" asked Mia.

"Well I've noticed that Kento has been acting rather different lately, ever since I went back to get my master's. I'm beginning to wonder if that was such a good idea, going back. What could I have been thinking?" Kaye said as she stared out her window.

"Kaye, have you talked with him about this?" asked Mia.

"No I haven't had a chance to, with my late night homework, training sessions, and now this." replied Kaye as she began to list them off.

"Kaye, you know what you're doing don't you?" asked Mia. Kaye turned her head so she was facing Mia.

"I think so, but why don't you enlighten me." replied Kaye.

"Alright, I'll tell you. The first thing is that you're barely getting enough sleep. Second and the most important thing you're talking to the wrong person, you should be talking to Kento instead of me." replied Mia with a grin.

"Yea you're right, I should be talking about this with him, and I promise Mia that I'll get more sleep." said Kaye returning the grin.

"Now that's settled, we're here. Are you sure that you want to look around his room?" asked Mia as she and Kaye headed towards the university's back door.

"Yea Mia I'm sure, I want to get a better look at that carving on the wall." replied Kaye as they both went inside. Lucky for Mia and Kaye no one was around to ask questions about why they were there at that time of night. So they continued walking towards the professor's room. When they got there, they found the police tape that was blocking the entrance to his room has been cut.

"It looks like someone beat us here, do you still want to go in and check it out or go back and wait until morning?" asked Mia.

"No, I can't afford to wait until morning. I have to go inside and look around Mia. The professor might have something in the room that I could recognize that you guys missed earlier." replied Kaye as she began to go inside. Mia followed right behind Kaye, they both took a careful look around to see if they could see what caused the police tape to be tampered with.

"Well it looks like whoever was here, isn't here any more so let's look around and see what we can find." said Kaye as she and Mia walked over to the carving on the wall.

"That's strange." said Mia as she got a closer look at the carving.

"What is Mia?" asked Kaye as she also got closer to the carving.

"This part wasn't here when we came acrossed this earlier today." replied Mia as she pointed to a small inscription that was carved next to the picture.

"It says, cursum perficio. Kaye what does that suppose to mean?" asked Mia as she looked over to Kaye.

"Cursum perficio? Amulet of the Forgotten City please help us translate cursum perficio." said Kaye. The amulet glowed white and a translation started to form on the wall right next to the writing.

"It says, my journey is over." read Kaye just as the amulet stopped glowing.

"My journey is over? Who's journey?" asked Mia.

"Good question, I'm not sure on an answer for that one." replied Kaye showing that she's as confused as Mia was.

"I would love to explain it to you ladies." said a voice that was coming from the back of the room.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" yelled Mia.

"It would be my pleasure. My name is Liber, I'm from the Forgotten City, and that writing on the wall, well I'm the one that wrote it there." replied Liber as he was now standing in front of Mia and Kaye.

"Why did you do that?" asked Kaye as she got into a defensive stance.

"I wanted to see if I could flush out the person that has both the white book and the amulet. Well it looks like my plan worked just fine, now if you don't mind, hand them over to me now!" ordered Liber.

"Sorry pal I don't think so, the professor gave these to me for a reason. So I'm keeping them and I don't care if you like it or not, you better back off if you know what's good for ya?" warned Kaye.
