Zeus was glad that he knew parkour as he dashed after Vessha who moving through rubble and various obstacle with such grace as if she was walking on ramp but at the speed of an Olympic 100m sprinter, and Zeus was having hard time trying to keep up as well move silently as she had ordered to, more often than not she would stop and make them hide it would be only time for him to catch some breath but then once again mad dash would start once again.
It was getting hectic as his teacher did not speak any word since they had stopped to look towards the city and the last time he tried to break the silence he was greeted by the harshest glare she could master and his heavy breathing earned him glare full of pain as such he tried to keep his mouth close, but alas his character was designed to produce sound like a dying horse every time his stamina was lower than 5% of the original and there was nothing he could do.
Zeus was at first confused why his teacher was acting as such but no matter how much he beat his head on the matter he failed to comprehend her reaction until something happened, Vessha tensed as a loud thumb was heard as Zeus looked up to see a large animal, that had the body of tiger like beast but had the face of a gorilla, moving but the weird part was that it had no eye and was turning invisible one moment and reappearing in another, as Zeus was about to use observe on the beast a handle fell on his shoulder gripping him hard as he looked at his teacher she simply shook her head negatively as Zeus nodded in understanding Vessha visibly relaxed as if a large burden was lifted off of her shoulder making Zeus even more curious but he decided to ask her about those creatures later on.
Almost an hour later the duo stood in front of what seemed to be a large mansion with most of its part destroyed through the ravages of time, Vessha walked around the fence making towards a particular spot towards the back before she touched the wall she pulsed her magic, the wall shifted as she literally dragged Zeus inside as the wall closed behind them as Vessha let out a sigh of relief.
Zeus looked at the tunnel in front of him as Vessha spoke with a huff, "You can fire all of your questions now child we are safe for now."
Zeus looked around as he spoke, "How are we inside a tunnel when we were looking towards the back of a mansion."
Vessha looked forward as she spoke, "Well that is magic, pulsing magic at a certain part of the building opens the secret tunnel through which we are going to travel now."
Zeus nodded at that although from the looks of it he knew that his teacher was not going to say anything more so he kept quite but the most imminent question that rose was those creatures, "Teacher what were those creatures we were avoiding?"
Vessha bit her lips before she spoke with a tired smile on her face, "When the city was about to fall under the wrath of your predecessor, the corrupt Prime Minister unleashed something which he thought that could control and defeat him but he miscalculated as the beings began attacking and turning the citizens into those creatures, the creatures who exist at the same time does not exist in our dimension and anyone killed by them becomes one as such we burn our dead, and as for the creatures we call them 'Lost' or 'Foreigners'. "
Zeus eyes widen at that as he spoke in disbelief, "That means those creatures are former people, is that why you decided not to fight them."
Vessha looked at him incredulously as she spoke, "Remember child no matter what happens an enemy does not have any religion, caste, creed or sex the only place it has is being perforated by your weapon and dead, this creature may once upon a time my brethren, I still cry for them I still miss them but if given chance I will not hesitate to kill them and free them from such tormented and twisted life.", she looked Zeus straight into his eyes causing his to gulp as she continued speaking but this time she held him by his chin making him look back at her, "My mother turned into one of those blasted creatures and my father failed to slay her and ended up dead, I killed both of them after they became one of those filthy creatures and believe me Zeus I will do the same if you manage to become one of those at the same time the day I become one of them, make sure to kill me before I fully transform otherwise I will not forgive you.", with her piece finished she began walking leaving Zeus behind who simply wordlessly nodded at that as he followed after Vessha.

As they walked towards through the tunnel Zeus was greeted by various pictures of warriors fighting different creatures before Zeus could speak Vessha spoke with a smile, "They are murals of my ancestors each depicting them in various battles."
Zeus looked at those murals with slight wide eyes only for Vessha to draw his attention with a sigh, "Zeus as much as you and I love watching this murals the entire pace is a maze as such tie one end of this rope to your hand I will do the same with the other, and one thing you should know that I would love to get out of this city before night fall, the creatures that prowl in the darkness are even more dangerous so move along quick."
Zeus sighed as he grumbled, "I hate this, I so wanted to see this place more."
Vessha gave him a sad smile as she spoke, "If you are awestruck by this I would love to see your face if you had the chance to witness the city at the height of its glory."
Zeus gave him a small smile as he spoke, "I would definitely love to see it."
Vessha turned around as she left with Zeus in tow meanwhile Azi was sat on the ground tiredly as Sylphy collapsed before her as she spoke with a huff, "I hate this screaming plants and sooner than later they will make me go deaf."
Azi nodded at that tiredly as she spoke with a sigh, "I hope Zeus is having an interesting time than us."
CelestialMaiden who was nearby simply snorted at that as she spoke, "No sister, I doubt he is having a nice time, I have asked around and from what I have learned that place is extremely dangerous and I hope he returns safely from that place."
