Yoshiki, Luca, and Bianca set off into the wild, now marching towards Nadja's fortress. Luca and Bianca's son had to say home while he was taken care of a faithful and loyal friend to Luca's family. As they set out, Luca pulled a whistle from his pocket and gave it to Yoshiki.
"If by some reason we get seperated, blow this and help will arrive." said Luca.
"What does it call?" asked Yoshiki.
"Let's hope you never get to use it." said Luca.
"You guys do get a long well. How come Luca never mentioned you before?" asked Bianca.
"He thought I was dead. He was taken aback when he found out I was alive and well." said Yoshiki, still playing his part. Luca gave him a nod of appreciation and a thank you. Yoshiki was doing a ton of sacrifices for his friend.
"I"m glad your alright. Nadja had something to do with it?" asked Bianca.
"Yeah. Pretty much." said Yoshiki.
"That wizard does that to everyone. We all suffer becaused of him. When he was gone, we were all happy, but now that he's returned... heaven help us." said Bianca.
"How did you two meet by the way?" asked Yoshiki.
"It's a long story, but I knew Luca when he was a boy." said Bianca.
"Yeah. How can I forget." said Luca.
Yoshiki was confused for a bit and Luca put his finger on his lips. Yoshiki nodded, knowing Luca will give him a better explanation in the future.
"We played together and had loads of fun in the past. Boy we were so in love." said Luca.
"Not really. You were going to marry the Princess and ditch me." said Bianca.
"Then I found you drunk in the bar, and I declared my love for you." said Luca as he pulled Bianca and kissed her on the lips.
"You are a monster." said Bianca.
"Geez you two. So that's how you two met. In a bar! Figures." said Yoshiki.
"You have never gotten drunk before haven't you?" asked Bianca.
"Oh no. I lived a sheltered life. My parents were two saints who met in a monastery and they live by a very strong Biblical code." said Yoshiki.
"Biblical?" asked Bianca.
"They are Christians." said Yoshiki.
"What is a Christian?" asked Bianca.
Yoshiki completely forgot this world was fictional and here in Dragon Quest, most of the people in this world believed in a huge number of Gods.
"Oh... um... we worship one God." said Yoshiki.
"I see. What did your God create?" asked Bianca.
Yoshiki had to think fast. He didn't want to spoil things and ruin Luca's chances of living here.
"The God we worship... we believe he created life itself and the universe. And we read a book known as the Good Book. Yeah and we... read it all the time." said Yoshiki.
Luca nodded at him. It appeared that was also common in the world.
"That must be nice. Reading something very safe and sound with your family. I never had that. I was mostly a traveler studying herbs and medicine. My father was so into that. It was in a way like a religion to him. I never did believe in Gods or stuff like that. I have shown some interest in the past. But I hardly have the time to look into my faith. But what I do know is that the world is supposed to be beautiful and peacful and not twisted and corrupt as Nadja would want it." said Bianca.
"Your right! Now, who's hungry? We can look at that tavern right there." said Luca, hoping to change the subject.
"Your right, I haven't eaten in a while." said Yoshiki, helping Luca out.
"Boys boys. We just ate at home." said Bianca.
"We are men with empty stomachs woman." said Luca.
Bianca sighed but with a smile. "I suppose one bite wouldn't hurt. But let's go incognito. We don't want to attract the attention of others." said Bianca.
As she walked ahead to scout for a tavern, Yoshiki apologized.
"Dude, I"m sorry. I didn't mean to talk about this with your wife." said Yoshiki.
"It's okay buddy. Although I"m surprised Bianca talked about it. She's kinda secretive about her thinking. This means I need to listen more." said Luca.
"I found a tavern! But we need to be careful. I see Pirates." said Bianca.
"We'll keep our heads down for the time being." said Luca as he put on his hood and Yoshiki did the same.
