The group was escorted out of the city of Glorious Letazix. The guards escorted them, and although they expressed that the group was wele iy, they suggested that the group sought out the blessing of the other churches, before visiting here again. In fact, it would be great if they stayed away from civilization all together, acc to the guards, because a god on a mission wouldn't mind vaporizing i bystanders, as they believed that their means justified relentless sughter.

  It aradoxical thing to worship a god, but the guards were trying their best to read between the lihey knew how to keep the peace, as that was their job, after all. Skendus and the group briefly thahe guards for the assistance, a.

  They walked out of the city, a moving for about five kilometers, until they found that patch of tall grass. This was where the dragons were hiding, and Geie was their means of quick transportation, so they didn't mind walking those few kilometers to get here.

  “Geie, baby boy, are you still here?” Arvena called out, as she slid between the four foot tall grass patch. “It's me!”

  They heard a couple of muffled grunts afterwards, and then, Geie arose from the grass. He was a nine-foot tall dragon, head included, so it was really difficult to miss him once he stood up! The dragonflies were a lot smaller, but the group could hear them dashing around withiall grass.

  “Are you ready to fly?” Arvena asked, and for a brief moment, a wide smile stretched on her face as she reunited with the dragon, but the a whiff of something horrid, and her smile disappeared.

  There were a bunch ed carcasses on the ground close to him, and they barely had any flesh on them. It was clear that the dragons had a feast here, they were ivorous after all, so she just hoped that the dragons wouldn't attack her !

  Also, she asked. “Please tell me those aren't goblins! We just made peace with them…”

  “They’re not goblins, they're sheep, dead sheep anyways.” Skendus intervened, after he brisked through the brains of the dragons. “They killed six sheep, Geie ate four.”

  “We better fly out or here right now, then. We don't need any eye witnesses, or else the priest might take his ‘grand blessing’ back.” Arvena advised, and then they just hopped on Geie’s back.

  They were on the air seds ter, and started heading north-east. The church that identified itself uhe symbol letter H, was in that dire, and it was only fifty kilometers away, so it wouldn't take long to reach it now that they had a dragon to do their bidding, it may take a couple of hours at most. If Geie was full grown, they'd get there in uwenty minutes, but things like that didn’t matter right now, because the group wasn't in too much of a rush. They departed.

  …

  The group made it to the city, and they had not been struck by lightning along the way. They were fine.

  However, now they had to deal with another race of goblins, and another city all together, and that simply wasn't the best thing in the world. They felt both anxious, and unwilling to deal with such matters, but yet they had to push themselves anyway, because no one really wao get hunted by gods throughout their entire life either, no.

  They had to ehis city that was called Manape, and this made them nervous, because the city didn't seem as anized in parison to the ohey had left behind. This pce looked like the aftermath of a war, and its structures were mostly made of wood too, so one couldn't t on these goblins to be civilized.

  Manape seemed to have several main neighborhoods, but there were these big, empty gaps right betweey, that made the pce look heavily unanized, and its own people far apart from each other. Some goblins have had the infinite ce to build single houses, right iweewo-to-three hundred meter wide gaps of space, and this made the city look all the more ungoverhe domain wasn't surrounded by a protective wall either, so it was obvious that these guys simply didn't care for anything luxurious.

  Tim and the rest of the group saw everything from above, while they rode on the dragon's baow they may have flowoo close for fort, but it wasn't like anyone down there could catch up with a dragon, so they sed the city from high above, before they decided to nd about three kilometers away from the pce.

  Manape was located near a tall mountain, which had a luscious, green bottom, and a rocky top. This wasn't unheard of when tall mountains were put in the equation, it was a beautiful sery even, but the group decided to use the mountain to their utmost advaher than admire it.

  They found a cave, and had the dragons hide in there. It didn't take much ving, because a cave was a far better pce to hide beasts in, when pared to any patch of grass. Geie and the dragonflies hid in the cave, and then the group made their way down the mountaierwards.

  While they made their way down, Arvena cautiohem. “Okay… so this is probably one of the worst pces for a church to be in, because Manape is full of Armor-hide Goblins, so I need you guys to be careful. Keep your hands close to your ons, because these hairy bastards will attack you if they have a ce to, no matter how small they seem. Sometimes I hate that Valporovus is so huge, I barely know how to deal with these bastards, I'm not as well-traveled as my old few uncles, so be careful.”

  “Don't worry, it's gonna be easy to kill them if we have to, and I'm actually looking forward to it.” Timothy bluntly expressed, and furthermore he added. “Most of them probably haven't crossed past the God's Punishment Realm of mana, they couldn't have, because it looks like their religions don't let them progress much.”

  “You’re right, but we're here for the church, so let us try extra hard to avoid trouble.” Skendus disced him, as they made their way down towards the city.

  It wasn't that Skendus was cowardly, no, he was quite brave. However, he was also aware that the goblins down there were going to pay the group a lot of unwatention already, just because the group beloo a different species. If a fight broke out, this unwatention could turn into a really unwanted bounty on their heads, and they couldn't have that!

  The city appeared to host about three-thousand houses, after all, so there lenty of space for things to g. They had to be quiet, and behave, as it was in their best io do so.

  “The gods have slithered their way into this universe, where their insane ideas are not wele. They found loopholes, snuck their sons in, and they're obviously using these unsuspeg people, just to have a presence here, it's pathetic!” Skendus thought, and he was being quite a bit paranoid.

  Perhaps rightfully so as well, because then he couldn't help w. “I don't want to know how much work they'd put in on someohey want to punish, foodness sake. The gods might evehese ugly goblins to tear us apart today, I wouldn't rule that out! Let's just hope we vihis other bastarding priest to bless us as well, it's our best shot.”
