Chapter 14 - Asgard
After the doors of the wall had fully opened, the cart had been instructed to pass through. After they had crossed, the door immediately closed, shutting them off from the outside. The four of them looked around to see a town full of bustling players and flourishing trade. Unlike Green Town, Asgard lacked the advertising billboards and the comparative emptiness. Also, Asgard provided many items and help that Green Town could not. The four of them tried walking around the busy markets looking for Burhan. "Hm, a 'Merchant' that looks like Jawad, shouldn't be
that hard to find...", said Pensuke as he looked for Jawad's brother. The four of them kept looking for him in all of the 'Merchant' tents. "He's like... nowhere to be found", muttered Shane as he gave up. Chet, noticing how tired the group had gotten from the trip, especially Gabriel and Pensuke, suggested to sight-see in the meantime and if they find him, just follow him to his tent. The group finally had some time off.
Shane had taken Diego with him, looking around the city trying to find something that would interest him. "Hey look, a pet shop!" Shane started to pull Diego towards the pet shop named "Joey's Pet Place". Shane walked inside with Diego and saw a large variety of animals, both existent and nonexistent. "Oh look at all these animals!" Shane said as he approached all of the different species with Diego. A tall figure approaches Shane, “What is your name, ‘Animal Master’?” Shane quickly turned around to see who it was and answered. The person who had asked was the store owner. He had short black hair, hazel eyes, and wore a t-shirt with jeans, a white apron above, and drooping dog ears on his head. “Well Shane, my name is Joey and let me give you a tip, newbie”, said the owner as he pointed at Shane. “‘Animal Masters’ always have my permission to look around my store and interact with the creatures, it‘s their main purpose! You should talk to the animals, you learn a lot from them, trust me.” The clerk turned around and waved his hand as he hurried off to attend his other customers. “Cool I get to talk to the animals!” said Shane as he petted Diego.
Chet walked around the town, looking for excitement. He noticed an electronic store that caught his attention nearby. He walked inside and was amazed by the technology stored inside. In this store there were many inventions that didn't even exist in real life. The walls were covered with construction manuals, and how-to guides for making several different items. An old man walked in from the back door. His face had several creases on his skin, had a long gray beard, wore a black suit, and held a cane in his hand. Chet looked in awe as he took a closer look at the old man, and realized, he wasn’t 'complete'. “Surprised?” said the old man as he walked towards Chet. The old man pulled up his sleeve to reveal a mechanical arm. The old man continued, “Here in ‘Another World’ almost anything is possible. Science is far more advanced here than what we could ever imagine! In real life I am a paraplegic, but here I can move as freely as ever! I would never want to leave here, and as a fellow ‘Technician’, I can say that you will like your stay here in this place. Now, look around the store as much as you like, you may find something useful for your journey.” The old man chuckled as he walked to the back room, attending to his other duties. “Wow, looks like anything
is possible here…” said Chet with an amazed look on his face. He walked towards the merchandise and starts to look at the items.
Gabriel and Pensuke were walking together looking for Burhan and sight-seeing at the same time. “Hey Pen look! A Blacksmith shop! Maybe we can get new weapons?” asked Gabriel. “Uh… sure”, said Pensuke as they walked towards the shop. The owner of the store walked outside, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He was a tall, dark-skinned fellow. He was shirtless at the time and only wore dark pants and a working apron. He noticed the boys approach him and asked them in a gruff voice, “What brings you two to my shop? …Let me guess, you want new weapons don’t you?” Pensuke spoke for himself and Gabriel, “Well… we are new to this town and we were ju-” He was immediately interrupted by the blacksmith, “Ah, I see. Come in, come in! New players are always welcome in my shop, as long as they don’t cause trouble.” He smiled as he motioned them to come inside. “My name Johnson Green and this is my shop. I am also known as one of the best blacksmiths in Asgard! Now tell your names young ones.” Pensuke responded, “Well my name is Pensuke and this is Gabriel. I am a ‘Night Stalker’ and Gabriel is a ‘Berserk Knight’. Maybe you may show us what weapons that may suit us?” Johnson nodded in agreement and took them to another room where the weapons were stored. Johnson pulled out a sword from the corner of the room and showed it to Gabriel. “Looks good huh? Swords are my specialty, but sadly, no one has wanted to buy it. It’s a good sword for a novice like you. Tell you what; I’ll sell it to you for one hundred seventy-five Dashens. Sounds good?” Gabriel looked over at Pensuke and knew that was more than he could afford. Pensuke sighed as he pulled out seventy-five Dashens and handed them over to Gabriel. Then he excitedly gave the Dashens to Johnson, who in exchange handed him the sword. “Now Pensuke, I think I have something for you.” He looked around in various bags until he finally found what he was looking for. It was a small leather bag with one button sealing it shut. “This is a bag of small needles and daggers. They are really good when you dip them in anything.” Pensuke asked Johnson, “So… how much is it? I only have twenty-five Dashens left.” Johnson rubbed his chin as he considered what was mentioned. He threw the bag at Pensuke saying, “Eh, it’s on the house. You guys are a bit
too new so I’ll help you two out. Only one condition: Don’t tell anyone I gave you a freebie. I have a reputation to maintain. Got it?” Both Pensuke and Gabriel nodded, agreeing to the condition. “Thank you Johnson. We have to go now and meet up with our other friends who are also around town. Thank you for everything!” Johnson chuckled as he escorted the two outside.
The four of them, not including Diego, met up by a water fountain placed near the center of town. Chet had bought himself new tools and a manual to work with, and Shane came back with a new look. He had taken the form of a cat, similar to Kyle. Shane smiled as he turned back into his normal self, “Looks like I can turn into animals!” All of them had something new. As they continued to sight see, this time as a group, they still had no sign of Burhan. Interesting enough, they had received a huge surprise as they walked down one of the central paths. Chet pointed over at someone and nudged Gabriel, “Hey, is that who I think it is?” Gabriel looked at the person and responded, astounded, “No… that can’t be.” Shane and Pensuke had no idea of who they were talking about, but Shane made it more obivious. “Who are you two talking about? I want to know!” Gabriel and Chet ignored Shane as they stood surprised. Chet finally mentioned, “It
is her!” They both exclaimed in unison, “It’s… it’s Art!”
