Chapter 6

An Enemy and an Opportunity

“I’ve been looking all over for you,” Terra said as they arrived near the center of town. All the fairies in the village surrounded the central fountain. On the end of it stood a very terrified fairy. “We have a problem. Or maybe an opportunity. Depends on how you look at it.”

“What do you mean?” Jericho asked as the three of them approached. He looked at the angry fairy on the fountain pointing at the sky as if it were falling. “What’s going on?”

“By killing the elders, we started something,” Terra answered while glancing at Jinx. “Long story short, their magic was keeping a monster at bay, a powerful one. It’s also the reason the woods are decaying.”

“Interesting,” Jericho said. He turned to Ariel, “Ariel, if we were to get rid of the monster in the woods, what would happen to this village?”

“Well,” Ariel thought for a moment. “I imagine we’d be free to open our borders and trade with other cities again.”

“Oh my god,” Terra smiled and jumped around excitedly. “We’re going to be so fucking rich! Okay, so I’m going to need to run to my bank and transport all of my gold here so once the job is done, we can buy up everything.”

“What’s going on?” Ariel looked to Jinx who was equally confused. “I don’t understand.”

“The important thing is we’re going to free your village,” Jericho answered.

He didn’t feel like explaining how certain villages, towns, and even cities in Forbidden Arcana needed to be unlocked by completing special objectives. Once the village or town was unlocked businesses and housing became available to purchase. Naturally, there was a lot of money to be made saving a town. But, since freed towns were announced in every city within minutes of being freed, it was important to have your resources ready early.

“There is one thing that may be an issue,” Terra said glancing again at Jinx and then back at Jericho. “So…you remember how Jinx wouldn’t go north?”

“No!” Jinx said realizing what Terra was saying. “Absolutely not! Idiots! Lunatics!”

“Don’t worry Jinx,” Jericho reassured her while stroking her hair, “I won’t make you come with.”

“Good,” Terra said. “Because it’s called a soul eater. I figure the reason Jinx is terrified is because she’s naturally weak to it. It’s also causing all the magical interference you two were talking about.”

“Okay,” Jericho sighed. “Gather any information yet on it?”

“Only that the elders magic hid the village from it and it was very powerful. Going near it apparently results in enormous pressure or pain.”

“It likely uses spirit magic,” Jericho said. “If you can’t detect spirit magic you can’t dodge it and getting hit feels like getting punched in the gut. Get hit enough and you die.”

“That’s what I figured,” Terra answered. “Killing it will probably be tough. Do you have any friends you’d be comfortable recruiting?”

“My bench isn’t that deep,” Jericho laughed. “We can’t recruit Raven, she’ll swoop in and steal everything out from under us.”

“Yeah,” Terra said. “My friends list is rather short at the moment as well.
