Sarutei's face suddenly darkened. "That", he whispered mysteriously, "is the greatest riddle of all. Nobody knows what it is exactly, nobody has seen the creature before."“His voice was getting creepier.” But it's dangerous, VERY dangerous. Especially since we don't know what it is. It could be a hideous monster, an elf, or something completely different. You must be prepared for anything if you are looking for it. Be vigilant and take care of each other, never let yourselves out of your sight. Because that alone could have devastating consequences. "
Keichi had serious doubts again and he wondered whether what he had just done had been right. But he didn't have time to think about it because at that moment Ryoku rose elegantly from his throne and said: "Well, that would be all. Thank you for your help, Keichi." He nodded gently to the boy and winked. Jakoru and Doron insisted on shaking hands with the brunette enthusiastically out of gratitude and Elyana finally even took him in her arms and whispered: "Please take good care of yourself, Master Keichi.And don't let it get you down, no matter what, the others will help you. Many Thanks. "She finally broke away from him and took a step back in awe. Keichi, whose head now resembled a blood-red tomato, couldn't utter a word and was silent. Then he heard Ryoku's voice again:
"In three hours the other two chosen ones will arrive. Until then you have time to get to know the two who are already here better." "Does that mean, unless Kite is another one here?", Keichi asked, amazed. "Aha, I notice you have already met our Heritei, who came a little too early," he smiled. "Well then you already know everyone." "Does that mean", Keichi turned hopefully to the black-haired man, "Shio ... I mean Shiori, does that mean she is also one of the five chosen?" Ryoku nodded and Keichi was happy, to hear that even if he didn't know why. Maybe it was because now he would at least have someone with him who got along with him.'Not to mention Kite ...' he added sarcastically in his mind.
He said goodbye to the four by bowing and nodding kindly to everyone, and then made his way outside to Shiori, who was already waiting impatiently for him.
