Chapter 17
Teleporting...it felt like your body completely melts into the light and you fall into a sleep. It was a weird feeling but it was relaxing at the same time. This helped the nervous feeling that was stabbing at my stomach ever since I peered out the door of the inn.
I opened my eyes and I saw a jungle...and slowly, I could make out houses. I could hear Dante's commands and Raijin carried me towards Valkyrie's Requiem.
"Where are we?" I asked Raisu as I rode up to her.
"This is Umbala." She explained. "The people here are really defensive of their religion and tradition...try not to offend them with questions." Her advice would seem very helpful. I saw a knight from Payon's Last Hope bicker with a native. It was slightly amusing, but when the chief arrived, we had to move on.
We were guarded heavily and only the chief and his guards were with us. They lead us up to the very top of the tree which held the whole village up. The chief stops and we stopped behind him. The chubby man turns around with his 'sacred' stick and spoke to Dante in the native language. Dante nodded and the chief and his men left.
"What did he say?" I asked Raisu again, thinking she might know.
"I don't know their language perfectly..." She started. "But I think he was telling Dante to be careful and beware of the 'Wolf of the Moon'." I nodded, and kept silent, for we were slowly entering a tunnel in the trunk of the tree.
"Wolf of the Moon?" Crono was riding on Raijin behind me. "What is that?"
"I don't think even Raisu knows." I replied. "If it was a monster, there would be a proper name, and we would've been taught about it in training." Crono nodded and we rode off after Raisu into the tunnel.
