After a while of venturing the Old Waterway, the three eventually saw a light up ahead. They immediately ran towards the light and then saw a ladder leading up. Adol, Dogi, and Geis went up the ladder to be greeted by the scent of fresh air and grass. They sighed, they were not far away from Altago's gates, but they were far enough so that the soldiers would have a harder time finding them.

"Hey come on, follow me. There's someone who wants to meet you Adol." Geis said and then began running away. Both Adol and Dogi ran towards him and caught up immediately.

~ Some minutes later ~

"Hey didn't you say that-pfftt! What the hell am I saying? Let's go!" Dogi said and then ran towards the weird seal on the ground. Adol and Geis laughed and joined him, then, Geis did his thing. There was a bright flash of light, and then they were in a totally different place. A place where it was always night, a place that had flying lanterns on the sky, and really big stars. Oh yes, the best part was that everyone's ultimate weapons could be forged here.

"YO! I got what you wanted now let me go!" Geis yelled. Both Adol and Dogi looked around, amazed at the new site. They began yelling at the top of their lungs and running around. Then, they heard a voice behind them that surely wasn't Geis. They turned around to see a man with glasses and white clothing, who had a scholarly aura. Geis frowned at him and he smiled politely at them.

"Like it? This place is located between your world and the next. I heard what happened from Xisa, you guys were fortunate to get away safely." The man said looking at Geis. He just frowned and rolled his eyes. "And, as promised, you brought the 'warrior' with you! Good boy, Geis!" He said and then clapped his hands.

"Don't you dare call me a good boy. I am no-" Geis angrily said but was then cut of by the man with glasses.

"So you'd prefer to be called a bad boy then?" The man said teasingly.

"Uh-I...dammit." Geis said, turning red. Both Adol and Dogi laughed at him, making him raise the finger at them. Of course, they raised their fingers back.

"Hahaha! I like this guy! Who were you again?" Dogi said and then Adol nodded.

"Fuck you." Geis just stated angrily.

"Ahah, pardon me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ciarius. I'm Geis' master of sorcery and the acting Elder of Iska." Ciarius said and then smiled at them. Adol and Dogi nodded and smiled back.

"Wait, Iska? Oh that makes sense. It disappeared because it's in the next world and ours, huh?" Dogi said coming to an obvious realization.

"Come let's talk at my house. After, that is, I show you guys around." Ciarius said, smiling. Adol and Dogi smiled and happily agreed.

~ Some time later ~

"This village was constructed over 200 years ago. Iska once inhabited the area where Altago now stands. However, when the Edonians decided to move out of what is now known as Ruins Island, we were persecuted and driven out. As a last resort for self-perservation, we used the power of the Moon to access this pocket between worlds and hid. The people of Edona re-formed our old and into modern-day Altago, which became a highly prosperous harbor city. And all memory of Iska was erased..." Ciarius explained.

"Oh man...But wait, what does this have to do with Adol?" Dogi asked and then Ciarius smiled.

"Oh well, I have a request for you Adol Christin. You, O Dragon Warrior, having heard the voices of the Five Great Drago-" Ciarius tried to entice Adol, but was cut off by him nodding. "Wai-what?" He asked, a little shocked at how eagerly Adol agreed.

"I'll do it." Adol said, although Ciarius barely heard him. Both Dogi and Geis were already used to his incedibly soft voice, so they heard him clearly. Dogi then repeated what he said, so that Ciarius could hear.

"Oh...well that was fast! I thought you might've needed a little bit more convincing!" Ciarius said, a little relieved and yet unnerved. "Will you need more explaining of your current circumstances then?" He asked and then Adol shook his head, pointing to Geis.

"What you want me to explain? Fine, whatever. You're the Dragon Warrior, who receives the power of the Great Five Dragons. According to the Legends anyways. Anyhow, the Legends state that the Dragon Warrior will come to stop the dreaded Wind of Destruction. Before you ask, the Winds of Destruction are the captains of the Desperado-oh wait wrong game. The Wind of Destruction's exact nature is not known, but once it begins to blow, there will be unrest and chaos throughout Altago until everything disappears. That's all that's written on it as of now." Geis explained and then gave a short, abrupt sigh.

"Say whaaa? You're joking!" Dogi said and then Geis sighed again.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that. All these anomalies around Altago, all the Iskan fever outbreaks, the various titano attacks, and who knows what else more. I believe this is all a direct result of the imbalanced energies of Altago. And the death of the king, might just accelerate the imbalance tenfold..." Ciarius said and then crossed his arms.

"No I meant, that WE'RE GOING ON YET ANOTHER SAVE-THE-WORLD ADVENTURRRREEE! YYYYEAAAHH! So where to next?" Dogi said and then high-fived Adol. Geis rolled his eyes and then shook his head, smiling a little.

"Hahaha! That's the spirit! Well, beyond the Altars you visited are 'Sanctums' where the Dragons sleep. No human may enter, save for the Dragon Warrior and his companions, of course. The Dragons should know how to stop the Wind of Destruction but don't think you'll get all the information from just one Dragon..." Ciarius said.

"Aww man. I hate backtracking!" Dogi said and then Adol nodded with a frown. "But then that also means we'll have to explain and talk to all the Elders again!" He complained and then Adol grunted. Then, they heard several voices behind them.

"That won't be necessary." Came a familiar voice of a woman. They turned around to see Elk, Mishera, and Mustafa walk into the room.

"Hey man, how've you been!?" Elk said high-fiving both Adol and Dogi.

"Beef, Carrot, it's been a while hasn't it? Heard you guys got yourselves into trouble. Good for you." Mustafa said, hiding the fact he was happy to see them, behind an arrogant and intimidating smile. Mishera smiled at both Adol and Dogi, then turned towards Geis and smiled as well. Geis just rolled his eyes and waved lazily at them all.

"No need to explain. We heard everything from Geis's little fairies. And you'll be happy to know that we're here to help you on your journey, once again." Mishera said and then Geis raised an eyebrow at her.

"Uh...please tell me your information about me just goes skin deep." Geis said, looking at her with a bit of a panicked expression. She just smiled at him and laughed softly. "Oh shit..." He mumbled to himself and then turned a little red. Yep, she already knew more than what he would have liked her to know.

"You guys are sure about this? It could cause even more panic, throughout Altago if everyone hears that the Elders and the Eldress from the other tribes are working with the fugitive you know?" Dogi explained but secretly didn't know what he was talking about.

"I'm not really doing this for Adol, or the adventure, or what the fuck. The situation concerns every man, woman, and child in Altago." Mustafa said, but Mishera looked at him with a heart warmed expression. She knew who he was doing this for. Adol expressed his gratitude for their help and everyone smiled.

"Jawesome man! We're one big happy family! Speaking of which, Geis? Eh, come on! You know you want to!" Dogi said teasingly and then Geis just laughed softly.

"I'd rather not. It's not my problem anyway." He said and then Adol walked up to him and kneeled. "What the fuck's up with...Oh come on! NO!" Geis said as Adol looked up at him with big googly eyes. Adol gave him even bigger googly puppy eyes and Geis just bit his lip in irritation.

"Oh fuck you and your puppy eyes. Fine! I'll go. There!? YOU HAPPY!?" Geis said and then sighed. Everyone laughed and then Ciarius prepared some food for them before they headed off.
