Adventures Of A Goblin

After a long hours of what seemed like a flight with no end, Orun's carriage finally arrived at the destination that marked the end on the map given.

"it appears we have arrived at our destination".

The Wyverns smooth landing was felt from inside the carriage, giving Orun the impression that they have gotten to where the map ended.

Orun and Monryck followed by Theron got out of the carriage and out into the light to see how their surrounding is.

"we apologize lord Orun. We were just as surprised as you are when we saw that this is where the map stopped at".

One of the Wyvern turned his head toward Orun after he came out of the carriage and saw his location.

Where the Wyverns landed on is a grassland area, while before them is a mountain range area, the kind that has grass growing on it.

The mountain from where he looked seemed endless as the farther the range of his eyes goes, the taller the mountains gets.

"there is no reason for you to be sorry".

Orun could sense the mana fluctuations in the mountains going about in the form of a fog flowing through every nooks and crannies of the mountains.

[ Master, there is a barrier placed before you ].

Oracle informed Orun of what he is already assuming after seeing the weird fluctuations of mana, and how it seemed to only be entrapped in a particular spot.

Sort of like a demarcated site and not an ounce of mana dropped to the other side. The mana was too concentrated on the demarcation to buy it off as a natural occurrence.

"My lord, this really must be a trap as you have feared".

Theron was quick to move into defensive mode, standing in front of Orun as he surveys his surroundings for any unexpected movements.

Monryck also hastily responded by moving to Orun's back with his hand thrusted out ready to respond to whatever comes his way.

"the both of you need to relax".

Orun assumed they were at the right place, and the credibility of the letter belonging to the Elves proven to be right.

His reasons for jumping into this conclusion is due to the kind of barrier formed around the mountain.

It is not an offense type barrier but a defense type barrier, a camouflage barrier if you well, meant to keep something hidden.

One would not go as far as casting such a barrier unless they have something important to keep hidden, and the range that the barrier extends to is also prove that whatever they want hidden, is massive.

Inviting him to a place where they had to use a barrier to cover their prized belongings in a large scope of land, a land wide enough to have an entire racial population to live in.

That doesn't sound like he was being led into a trap in his ears. But then again, he can never be too sure of what has yet to be affirmed.

Orun snuck his way past the hole in Monryck's and Theron's body shield and moved himself closer to where he felt the mana radiation starting from.

"this is more than just a barrier! The realism projected through it is..... magnificent".

Orun had his hand touching the barrier, but he felt nothing that seemed out of place.

It was the same as when he thrusts out his hand to thin air, the feeling that its a stand alone with nothing but the connection to the shoulder supporting its ability to keep standing.

He proceeded to move closer in, and to his surprise, he was able to get in and still felt nothing out of place.

Orun had thought that the barrier was going to reject him by bouncing him back, or that if he did successfully get in, the Elven nation that is covered by the barrier will be projected to him.

Contrary to his thinking, he was able to get into the barriers range, but what he saw was not what he thought he would see.

It all felt too natural, like he was staring at the first mountain making up the several mountains lined up behind and beside it.

He placed his hand on the mountain and once again, Orun was astonished by the perfect realism and sensation of coming into contact with a real mountain.

With this much realistic feeling, even he would have been confused about how true the mountain is if Oracle had not told him otherwise.

"what should we do my lord".

I'm the eyes of Monryck and Theron, the place they got invited to is a deserted location, an end in the form of mountains blocking their path ahead.

Looking at it from the sky also does not assure that there is an end to the mountain so obviously, there is a pathway through that involves going past the mountains to get to their real destination.

Unfortunately for them, there is no noticeable route to act as a sign that this is where they need to go if they want to get past the mountains, unless forcing their way through by bringing down the mountains that stands in their path.

In other words, they are stranded with no way in to their real destination, and the supposed Elves who invited them here did not make things any easier for them.

The least they could have done is put up a signboard Indicating that this is where they need to go through to get to their real destination.

Or better still, they could have people standing guards outside the barrier to give people directions and also inform those inside of the barrier for any trespassers.

There are lots of ways Orun thought about that would make things easier for them and the Elves.

He would have informed them that he was going to come early, but there is no way for him to do that. Why? Because all they sent him was a letter leading to here, a place covered in barrier with no way in.
