Transcendence Volume 2: Awakening

Chapter 1: Arrival

[Threnus 17, 0100 A.R., Reniya]

[Darkmoon Harbor, Myrkish Empire of Aegiot]

[Noxamir]

Revan let out a yawn as he and SolarHunter sat on the deck looking at the horizons. It had been weeks since he left Throndrheim and SolarHunter joined him as per the orders of 4-Gren.

"So what do you know much about Noxamir?" Revan asked him.

"Just the fact that everyone is deeply religious," SolarHunter answered as he was quietly writing on his notebook. "You said you were going to learn about St. Axton right? Yeah ask one about it and it's asking for someone to tell the entire history of the world on fast forward."

"They're that devoted huh?" Revan chuckled as he looked at the back of his Left hand which shows the Mark [Valkyr's Chosen] every time he looks at it. Which was quite often as SolarHunter once pointed out.

"Yup they're more devoted than a cultist in a Horror film," SolarHunter said with a small smile.

"They sound fun to be around," Revan commented dryly.

"Yeah you'll be fine as long as you don't piss them off," SolarHunter shrugged with a chuckle. "But apart from that, they're fine despite being a bunch of fatalist fanatics."

"So basically what you're saying is that the Myrkens are so religious to the point where they're willing to die for St. Axton?"

"Pretty much." SolarHunter nodded. "I mean back home it's pretty much a bloodbath and it looks tame compared to the Myrken traditions."

"What about outsiders?" Revan asked as he took a sip from a bottle and offered it to SolarHunter.

"Let's see," SolarHunter raised one finger. "They're neutral to Tian Races."

"Distrustful but tolerate Beastmen and Luar Races." He raised two fingers.

"But hate Lyrkens," He raised three fingers. "That's mostly over a religious dispute."

"Yikes," Revan muttered. "Good thing Carin didn't follow me right away."

"Yeah, it's good your girlfriend went with you," SolarHunter chuckled. "For all, I know they would have had her lynched or something."

"She's not my girlfriend," Revan gave him a confused look.

"Seriously?" SolarHunter chuckled in surprise. "Not gonna lie, you two can get pretty heated up when together as far as I noticed."

"Seriously?" Revan chuckled. "Well, it's up to them what they think, as far as I know, Carin and I are just friends."

"Sana Lahat ganyan," SolarHunter muttered in a low voice earning a confused look from Revan. It had been two weeks since Revan and SolarHunter had left Throndrheim and it had been relatively calm for the most part, with the two working together as part of the defense crew in charge of maintaining the security of the Caravan and now on the Vessel [Cadian Sights] as it was about to enter [Darkmoon Harbor] in Aegiot Empire.

(Translated from Filipino: I wish everyone was like that.)

Though it should be noted that the two traveled together was because 4-Gren had also tasked SolarHunter with a mission and only then he can return and consider taking him in as one of the many Marked One Apprentices that he had.

As for Revan, he is here to make the Pilgrimage to the Axtonian Ziggurat, it was a religious place of worship for followers of Saint Axton. To learn and study more about him. It was suggested by SolarHunter that if Revan were to start learning and following the path of the Duskwarden that's the first place he would go.
