Ning and Tim got onto a bus that went from the Cape of Tremala to a city in the west called the Twomile City, from where they would then take a train to the Warfort Kingdom.

From there, they would make their way to the Cogonian Archipelago to take a ship to the theocratic country of Airan.

Ning sat by the window, looking at the drab buildings all around him. He couldn't wait to leave the city and go somewhere greener.

The bus started moving, and soon they were on their way.

"This is the first time I'm leaving the city to go to another one," Tim said softly. "It feels weird."

"You went on a treasure hunt not even a month ago, and you're excited by a trip to another city on a bus?" Ning asked.

"Am I not allowed to?" Tim asked blankly.

"No, no, you're allowed to. I'm just surprised you are excited at all," Ning quickly said.

Tim shook his head slightly. "You know how it was. I was constantly looking for any sight of a Zurin treasure I could hoping to find anything that could heal my father."

"There have been many incredible Zurin treasures that could heal someone in the past that haven't surfaced in the present days. There was the Eyeglass of Diagnosis, which you could look through to exactly tell where someone's sickness was."

"There was the Hourglass of Reversal, which was said to have the capability to almost reverse someone's life and heal them to how they were beforehand."

"There was the Comb of Eternal Preservation. Anyone in possession of the comb would thwart all disease and sickness from their life."

Tim went onto name every possible Zurin Treasure that he found a record of in the past that had not appeared in present times. He had hoped to find anything that could have helped his father in any way.

"Explain one thing to me," Ning said. "Zurin Treasures, how do they get remade?"

"I don't think they get remade. They just get lost and end up somewhere far away from the greater civilization and have to be found again."

"When someone gets a Zurin Treasure and uses it, it bonds to them and can only be used by them for their entire life. When they die, the treasure no loner has any owner."

"In that case, the treasure is then waiting for another owner to come and take it."

"The conjecture is that sometimes these treasures just end up disappearing altogether, maybe in a forest, or in a shipwreck. They somehow end up somewhere where they can't be found.

"The conjecture is that in those instances, the unbounded Zurin treasure slowly gathers back an aura that forms more Zurin monsters to protect itself."

"In this horn's case, it must have disappeared in the sea for a long time before we found it again. In those times, the treasure must have gathered a lot of power, creating a monster as strong as it did."

"I see," Ning said. "What happens if you destroy the Zurin treasure itself?"

Tim was more than used to Ning's basic questions by now, so he didn't even bat an eye before answering.

"If destroyed, I do not know if the treasure can come back or not, but the chances are low I assume. The Zurin treasures are incredibly difficult to destroy anyway, so there is nothing to worry, anyway."

"Oh, two young men," the other woman said. She looked at Ning and Tim with a bright smile as she welcomed them.

The woman was muscular, wearing coats and pants that a man should have been wearing. She had her brown hair tied in a bun behind her.

She wore almost no jewelry except for a thin silver necklace that was hidden within her shirts.

"I see we already have companions on this journey," Ning said. "My name is Ning, and this is my friend Tim."

"Hello," Tim gave a small nod.

"I am Penelope," the woman said. "I hope you won't mind my existence throughout this travel. I will get off at Garnhall City around 4 in the morning, anyway."

"We are going the whole way through," Ning said. "And who is this friend of yours?"

"Oh, this is not my friend. This is the first time we're meeting as well," Penelope said. "I'm sorry. What was your name again?"

"Jasmine," the girl said in a quiet voice. "I'm sorry, I don't enjoy talking. If you would ignore me."

She turned back around.

Tim went over to the far side, next to the window, opposite Jasmine, and Ning sat opposite Penelope.

"So, where are you boys from? Your accent doesn't sound like you're from around here," the woman said.

"I'm from the Cape of New Tremala," Tim said.

"Oh, where the University is. Are you two from the university?" the woman asked. "You look scholarly."

"I go to the University, but I'm not hear from there," Tim explained. "I'm doing my thing."

"I'm from far away. It would be difficult to explain where I am form exactly. Just know that it is not Warfort, Oriman, or Nineflags."

The woman put her hands up. "Hey, if you want to keep your privacy, do. I won't say anything. We're already having to share this compartment. We can keep it there."

"Thank you," Ning said. "Speaking of which, where are you from, miss Penelope?"

"I'm from Warfort. I came here because one of my uncle lives in this city," she said. "I'm returning home now. It's been a long journey."

The train whistled, signalling that it was about to leave.

"Well, it's started," she said. "My journey back home."

Ning nodded.

"I hope the ride is as comfortable as it was coming here. My uncle cheaped out in the end and didn't pay for the first carriage," the woman laughed.

The train left the platform.
