Artemis was lost in thought and is soon snapped back into the real world by Finn.

"Milord, If thou don't mind me asking, what is thy name?"

Artemis opened his eyes and saw Finn still kneeling before him with his head up high and eyes staring at his person.

"I am, Artemis," He answered.

"Awtemes?"

"No, Artemis,"

"Ah, yes, Artimes,"

"Sigh.."

While Artemis was explaining how his name should be pronounced, Caitlyn connected herself to Artemis' communication channel.

"Artemis," Caitlyn spoke through his mind.

"What?" He replied through his psychic abilities, in other words, telepathy.

"The second offensive was, no surprise, successful and the entire enemy front has collapsed,"

Artemis then replied, using his mouth.

"Good, tell the armies to march forth, have the central army reinforced and we will lay siege on the nearest city,"

"Roger,"

Artemis and Caitlyn ended their conversation. Finn looked at Artemis odd and had no idea who he was talking to and what the hell was he talking about.

"Pay it no mind," Artemis said after noticing the visible confusion of Finn.

"I merely made contact with an ally, you will soon meet her and the others who have joined our cause,"

"There are others who joined before me?" Finn looked even more confused. He had only heard of them a few weeks ago when the crusade started and he knows that there was only one highly-skilled and powerful enemy that lead the metal demons.

Now, he was being informed by that very same enemy he was warned about that there are others more like him.

"Oh, but don't worry," Artemis suddenly said.

"They aren't as powerful as me but still in equal terms with what you consider powerful," Artemie read his mind, not literally but it was an expected mindset and thought process.

"Anyways, enough chit-chatter, you need to be sent on your way before my soldiers lay siege upon Zeticon. And concerning your family, where are they right now?"

"They are probably at our home town of Smocweedt,"

Artemis offered Finn to sit down beside him as he himself sat down on the ground despite how uncomfortable it was for a normal person. Finn, however, still followed suit and sat down regardless if it was comfortable or not.

"So there are also towns and not just villages,"

"Yes,"

"Can you explain to me how towns are different?"

Artemis knew clearly what the differences were, he was just extracting information from Finnn bit by bit.
