Chương 17: Chapter 17- Oblivion Seekers
The man shivered uncontrollably as Carson's dagger slightly pierced his skin drawing blood. Eventually he stopped shaking and his eyes rolled back rendering him unconscious. Carson began to furiously shake the man as Camelot watched the door for movement.
"HEY! Come on wake up you weak shit! Ugh, never mind the bastards out cold so you know what this means?" He looked at Camelot with a sly smile whilst the latter shook his head confused at the question.
"Weeeeellll it means now we can look through his stuff and figure out why they're here and who exactly they are he he." Carson began searching the man when he pulled out a small brown sack. He opened the sack to find a letter, few health and mana potions, and lastly a bottle filled with purple liquid.
He took and put a few of the potions in his bag and threw the rest to Camelot. He then began to read the letter.
"Dear Seekers,
It has indeed been a long and tiring road but our investments and hard work have finally paid off. I've gotten word that one of The Great's Primal Weapons has been rumored to be in the Emerald Forest. Where exactly? Not sure but only likely place would be Wanderer's Fog. Find and retrieve the Primal Weapon and return it to the base. I hope for your success and swift return so we may began the first step of the plan. The dream of a perfect world is so close, I just require your help and devotion. Soon we shall leave our mark in history for others to see.
Sincerely,
Master J
Carson 's heart dropped as he put away the letter. '"Just who is this Master J and what do they plan to do with the Primal Weapons? I thought those were lost after the Grand War, seems I was wrong if these weirdos know about it. Then this thing about making a perfect world doesn't seem right, not to mention this weird potion.

Item Name: Raging Blood
Rank: ???
Item Description: "A strange man made purple liquid. Consumption drives the consumer mad with rage and makes them highly aggressive."
'Ugh just reading the effects makes my skin crawl." He shuddered as he put the potion away. He then looked at the unconscious man and shot a Water Shot in his face. He woke up confused but his memelry kicked back in when he laid eyes on Carson.
"Oh please don't hurt me! I swear I'll tell you what you want!" He held up he hands to defend himself when Carson knelt and looked him in the eye. He had a calm yet serious expression.
"Good now start speaking. Who are you? What does this Master J want with the Primal Weapons? Also how many do you all have now? Lastly what is this 'Raging Blood and where did you get it!"
Carson hammered the man with question so that wven Camelot became a bit confused. The young man held his head as their captive sat silently. He stared at the floor with wide eyes and began muttering to himself. He then looked at Carson with a deranged lol in his eye.
"He, not that it matter if I tell you anything I was doomed to die if I failed either wa-"
*splash*
"HEY! What the hell?! Why ask me something then do that ?!" The man spoke with high annoyance as Carson shot another water shot at him without explanation. He shrugfed and smiled at the drenched man.
"I don't know just felt like you were gonna go on some long tangent about failing and death blah blah blah. Listen just get to the point and I won't have the kid ya know, unalive you, ok?" He looked a the man who look back at Camelot who gave him a nervous wave.
"I WAS about to till YOU interrupted me with a-"
*splash*
"Listen buddy answer the questions it's simple not that hard ok? I ask and you answer, I really don't need anything else. Last warning. Hell I'll even give you some space, six feet sound good?" Carson then stood up and folded his arms before stepping back a bit.
The man glared at his childish captor before scoffing and laid back. He closed his eyes and breathed deep to calm his nerves when Carson hit him with another Water shot.
"Alright times up bastard, I've have just about enough waiting for you to open your mouth. Hey Camelot second training lesson is 'A dead man is a good man'. Now come finish him and we'll head out." He waited but got no response nor heard any movement.
"Camelot?" The blonde man turned around to see Camelot staring out into the fog. Camelot could not see nor more than 15 feet in front kf him even with the reduced thickness of the fog in the ruins. Though he could see one thing clearly and that was the stone sword k n the middle of the courtyard.
It was a rusted sword that had major blotched of the blade covered in stone. It look as if it had been there for centuries. Though it looked surprising mesmerizing and alluring to Camelot as if calling out to him.
"Come free meeee….come….come"
He stood there in a daze as a sweet sounding came from the stone sword. It called to him beckoning him to release it. He unconsciously began to head towards the door when he felt a hard tug pulling him back.
Camelot turned around to see Carson with a concerned expression on his face. "Hey are you alright I've been calling you for the last 5 minutes. You've just been staring out into the fog, did you see something?"
Camelot's eyes went wide and he shook his head in denial. He gave a nervous laugh "N-No just was a bit hot and wanted to step out for a bit you know? Get some fresh uh air."
"Uh huh, sure whatever you say but either way this guy isn't going to speak or say anything of importance so time to leave him for the worms. Use this and then we're gonna head out." Carson spoke in a serious manner and handed the young man the dagger.
Camelot gulped and stared at he dagger before slowly approaching the man. The man rolled his eyes before taking out a small yellow pill and swallowed it. He convulsed a bit before his mouth leaked yellow foam.
Carson pushed Camelot out the way and checked his pulse. "Tch bastard had poison, still not a bad way to go just painful I guess. He's got another pouch on him and oh look! It's full of Rank A Magical stones. Here you can have them. Consider it a 'reward' of some kind."
Carson threw the pouch to Camelot who quickly put it away. Camelot bowed at Carson in thanks before looking around the room. "So do you think we should look here first before heading out?"
Carson shook his head no in response. "No let's just go first, I'm sure after a while they'll be looking for this guy wondering why he hasn't come back. Before that we need to get the drop on them and figure out what's going on here."
The two of them left the library and and walked back towards the courtyard. During the small trip Camelot's eyes were fixed on the stone sword never leaving it. The sword still called towards the young man.
"….free me….place your hand on the hilt…..coooome"
The voice rang out in Camelot's ears and drew him in that he didn't realize he started to head toward it. Carson looked back and saw his companion deviating fro n the path when he grabbed him back causing him to fall.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? First the library and now this? What's going on?" Carson spoke in a harsh yet concerned tone while Camelot's eyes darted back and forth between him and sword.
"I-I don't know exactly I just feel like something is calling me, drawing me in for some reason. You don't hear that voice?" Camelot asked while looking at the sword causing Carson to do the same.
"No I don't, though I'm guessing it must be some kind of trick of the fog of some kind. Come on let's go before they catch us." Carson held out his hand and helped him bump before they continued to their next destination. They continued walking unaware of the man in mansion watching them clearly from above.
Bronson played with a necklace that had a blue jewel that resembled a snake eye. He played with it for a bit before tucking it away in his shirt.

Item Name: Siren's Eye
Rank: A
Item Description: "An item made from the Eye of a Vile Siren. It allows the user to dispell magic from around them. Useable only when worn."
"Hmmm if I knew you were such a tough bastard to get rid of, I'd have offed you long ago, Carson. Though this isn't such a bad development at all, just unexpected I'm sure not even the Master could for see this.
Then there's the boy. What was his name again? Camelot? I think that's right. Seems that he may have a bigger role than he believes to. Nevertheless I must alert the master."
Bronson opened his hand an a small magic circle appeared and in it appeared a pigeon. He whispered in the birds ear before it flew off towards the wall, it passed right through like it wasn't even there flying into the distance.
"Now while we wait I shall keep an eye on our 'guests'
