Chronicles of Eridoria

Chronicle 55 ~ Inner Court (2)

Having arrived at his final conclusion on what to do, Vin decided to set his plans into motion, creating a new faction in the Inner Court, one need about ten members, before they could be approved.

And he knew just the perfect people to be his first recruits, some old friends.

But the truth was, he had no idea where to find them, the Inner Court was really expansive, and all the deciples either lived in the caverns on the lower hills, or the small mountains.

But the people who lived on those mountains were the deciples that belonged to a faction, and a pretty good one at that.

There were a lot of factions on the Inner Court, and the higher your rankings, the better your residences could be. And that was simply because these mountains contained lots of Spiritual Energy.

So the better the mountain, and the higher up you can occupy, the more Spiritual Energy you can access.

But mountains weren't the only places with good Spiritual Energy, there were also valleys with very intense Spiritual Energies.

The ten largest and best mountains and valley's were occupied by the the ten Earth Lords of the Inner Court.

And these people were also the leaders of the ten leading factions. Their factions ranks also corresponded to their ranks on the Earth Rankings.

Vin was staring at the mission board, and lost in thoughts still thinking about how he was going to contact his old friends when.....

"Vin??!!!" a surprised voice exclaimed behind him. "Oh gosh, it's you right?!" the same voice sounded again.

Vin turned around, staring face to face with about six people, three of which were quite familiar faces. In fact they were just the people he was thinking about right now.

"Raya, Marco, Fourna, it's been a while" Vin greeted with a warm smile on his face. Vin also turned and nodded at the three other people in their company and they returned the courtesy.

"Wow, it really is you" Fourna said with the same surprised voice.

"What're you doing here Vin?" Marco asked. "Well, it's probably because I'm an Inner deciple now I guess" Vin replied sarcastically. While Marco rolled his eyes at his reply.

"How long have you been here in the Inner Court?" Raya asked.

"Two weeks now" Vin replied "And you didn't think to find us in two whole weeks" Fourna complained in displeasure.

"Well I would have, if I knew how to, this place is like a labyrinth, I have to be careful not to even get lost." Vin shrugged in reply.

"Well it's fine now, are you going on a mission?" Raya asked. "Well I was going to, still haven't figured out which one yet" Vin replied as he turned back to the mission board.

"Well if you still haven't decided, why don't you join us" Raya suggested "But before that let me introduce you, this here is Cassius, he's Vandolf and she's Vanessa, guys this is Vin"

Raya pointed at the other three people as he introduced them one by one, Cassius was the tallest among them and he had curly black hair that stopped just below his ears.

His cobalt blue eyes added more to his charm, and he also looked to be the strongest of them.

Vandolf on the other hand was a bit shorter, but he looked more muscler, like he was a body cultivator or something. His shiny bald head and the scar that ran along his cheek made him looked scary and serious.

Vanessa seemed like the cold quiet type, she had light brown hair with pair of eyes, of the same color. The aura emanating from her seemed to want to keep everyone at bay.
