"Have you decided where you'd like to go?"

Zero nodded . After consulting the map app and talking to the gods, Zero has an idea of where he wanted to go . Although he was eager to see many things, the first thing he wanted to do was to see the thing called 'mountain' . As he wasn't too confident about meeting with humans, Zero chose Endow Hill as his first destination .

Endow Hill was actually a small mountain with dense forest but a barren peak . No humans dwelled there was because a ferocious creature was guarding it . Yes, that creature happened to be a dragon . Although nobody has heard about the dragon for years, nobody dared explore the area . Many said that since the dragon was guarding it, the area has become very rich in magic . As a result, many beasts evolved into frightening monsters over the years . Some adventurers who tried to explore the forest were killed or severely injured . They had to quit adventuring for life and this made humans shun the mountain .

AdvertisementFor Zero, it was the best possible place for him to start his adventures . He had no problems with facing monsters because he could simply absorb them . The secondary reason Zero chose Endow Hills was because of Buddha's Sage God friend who lived there . That Sage God was good at medicine and healing magic . According to Isis, medicine was something that can help ease suffering . That got Zero's interest and he decided to learn more about medicine and healing magic . The Sage God's name was Hua Tuo and Truen seem to know him .

"Do you think I will meet Mr Dragon?"

En frowned . "I don't think so . That dragon has been missing for hundreds of years . Nobody knows where it went . However, if you are lucky, you might be able to find some wyverns . "

Zero nodded . Wyverns sounded good too .

Armed from head to toe in blessings, enchantments, hugs and kisses, Zero declared that he was ready to go . Truen took a bow that Freya offered . The bow was made from Gaia's world tree and blessed by the goddess of war .

"It's a gift from the Great Gods to you . Protect Zero at all cost, Truen . This bow's name is Sureshot . It will not relent until the target is hit . It's a masterpiece second only to the Cupids' Bow . "

As Truen and Zero stepped up to the portal, they could see Endow Hill on the other side . The smell of forest tempted the elf's instinct but Truen held back . He turned to see Zero wave to the Great Gods bravely .

"I'm going now!"

"See you soon," they smiled and waved goodbye to the young boy they've grown attached to . Nobody moved as Zero took his first step into the world of humans .

There was a long stretch of silence and Buddha was the first to break it .

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step . The pain of parting is nothing compared to the joy of meeting again . "

Having left these words, Buddha returned to his realm to cultivate . At this point, the Great Gods begin to take their leave one by one . En excused himself and returned to the purgatory . It was obvious to everyone present that he just wanted to hide the tears welling up in his eyes . Zeus was uncharacteristically silent and left with Hades for Mount Olympus . Freya decided to bring Isis window shopping but Sedna knew it was only a distraction . The Goddess of Time didn't protest and they left just like that . Sedna who was most affected by Zero's departure decided to visit Amarania again where she first found Zero . Gaia was the last to leave but when she did, she made a plan to contact an old friend of hers to help watch over Zero on Earth .

After a while, the communicator connected .

"Hey, Swift! Yes, I know it has been a while . I know, I just want to ask if you could do me a favour . . . ?"
