"There are 6 treasures, there are three that I know about, the other three we must find. Once the six are brought together they can be used to enter the Hidden Forest where a goblet full of water from the Garden of Eden is said to grant one wish. The first treasure is the map; it is split into four pieces. You have one part of it, and Lovino has another, and I have the third part, the holder of the fourth is unknown but we have deuced the fourth map holder works under Antonio, the man who probably sent Arthur out to kill you,"
"Lovino and you are guardians too?" you exclaimed. Ludwigs glare sent a clear message "Sorry," you said.
"Ahem, anyway, the map is able to locate the town where a guardian resides. The next is the Key, which is owned by a man named Antonio, he has sent one other man to attempt to get Lovino's half of the treasure before, but we don't know anything about him other than the fact that he wants to get the Goblet. The third is the Guide, it is a creature able to spot a Guardian,"
You closed your eyes trying to process all this. "So what does this mean for me," you asked.
"Well, there are three out of four map holders in one location, from now on it will be extremely dangerous to stay in one place for a long period of time, we'll have to be moving from place to place," So that's what he meant when he said to pack your stuff.
"Where will we go?" you asked.
"Umm I think we should find the other guardians,"
"Huh, why do you- HOLY CRAP who are you!" you said finally noticing a curly hair boy holding a polar bear sitting on the couch the living room.
"My names Mathew, I live here too, though I dont talk much and I usally stay in my room so not you didn't really notice me, I'm a Guardian too I own the Guide," he said holding up the Polar Bear. "Umm like I was saying I think that Antonio would know that you would go into hiding after this, his best bet would be to find other guardians and take them and their treasures, that would also lure you out of hiding,"
"We can't let them! If they do that...," you had a flashback of you sister lying on the floor covered in blood. No, you weren't going to let that happen to anyone else.
"Look if we go out of hiding then we'll be playing right into the trap, we already know that this Antonio has the other map holder, if he finds the three of us not only will he have the key and a working map but also the Guide, with all these he can find all the Guardians no problem,"
"Look how about this, we'll use the pieces of the map we have and camp out on the outskirts of Retnuh, the closest town with a guardian, we'll go in the market and take walks through the town square on occasion for any suspicious activity. If Kumajirou sense the key or the other map nearby we'll take the other Guardian into hiding with us, this Antonio guy can only track us as long as we're in his one fourth view of Ydnac. This way we can make _ stop whining along with Ludwig,"
You smiled "Thanks," you said giving him a hug, making him turn red.
"Hey get of hobo," he said attempting to push you away.
"Ahem," said Ludwig clearinghis throat. You realized the other two boys giving you a suggestive look their eyebrows raised, turning red as well you quickly got off him. "Well first things first, we need to find out were your treasure is. Do you have any idea where it might be?"
"No I dont think- wait actually I might know where it is!" you rushed into your room and grabbed the herbology book sitting in your bag and started leafing through it until a small strip of old looking parchment slipped out and fluttered to the ground.
You hesitated for a second and tentavily you reached out to touch it the second your fingertips made contact there was a bright flash and a map was slowly appearing on the thin strip of paper.
"I found it!" you yelled running back down stairs to show to the boys.
