"You need a what?" The farmer says holding a shovel who seems to be old.

"Yeah…" Akatosh says while right behind him was Riya whom he asks for help looking for some farmers with poultry.

"I got a ton but what do you do for this?"

"Fertilizer… Look I can buy for you. I only had a 2 silver Shar." Akatosh reason.

His eyes stiffen as Akatosh showed him two silver Shar.

"Well fine, you can have it with just 1 silver Shar." The farmer says, scratching his head.

"Okay then, deal."

Following the farmer where he piles the large quantities of manure.

"I need a wagon; do you have some," Akatosh says.

"I do have some."

"This should be enough," Akatosh said after hours filling the wagon full of fresh cow's manure.

After finally filling the wagon with tons of manure. Akatosh tosses him five silver coins. He didn't know how to operate the wagon so Akatosh let Riya do the driving.

"This- this is too much young sir." The farmer says.

"Thanks, gramps but keep it you'll need it," Akatosh says climbing the wagon. Two silver Shar was exceedingly high for a farmer indeed.

After they have driven nearly a minute away from the farmer's sight. Riya stops the horse and brought out a teleportation scroll. Unknown to Akatosh, he was surprised to see her bringing out a teleportation scroll.

"I thought mages are the ones who knew this kind of stuff." Akatosh says, looking down at Riya.

"Well, Sheila taught me something, but this is the only thing I was able to learn and my marks are very weak that even a very simple mage could even remove it with ease."

"I see."

The wagon couldn't make it through to the dense forest where we dug a trench for the saltpetre to be made. And to solve that problem they had to use a teleportation scroll.

She began to concentrate her magic, pooling her mana through the scroll, it took her more time than Sheila to be able to trigger the scroll. And when she does, they were Engulf in bright light, and as the light fades, they see themselves at the trench.

Akatosh was surprised but his smile quickly fades. Riya who has little knowledge and magic teleport a wagon and Akatosh fall to the ground.

"Riya!" Akatosh calls to her.

Scared and panic Riya pants heavily. "I'm alright… I'm not still used to teleporting large quantities. I will be alright after an hour." Riya says, smiling towards Akatosh.

Giving her a space to recover, Akatosh gave her a blanket and a pillow to lay rest then slowly goes transferring the manure.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Time ticks with a final touch, filling and mixing it with some grass that Akatosh recently chops and some ash. He then covers the whole trench and to keep water from entering, a canal was made around the trench and a wall of dirt for enclosing.

"So, what now?" Riya says awaken and fully recovered.

Akatosh sigh in relief. "Well, technically this might be a bit complicated."

"I need to trust her more. The Maginum did the right thing in keeping the glittering dust from the other nation keeping it to themselves. And for me, if this thing would be known throughout the country it might be a bad thing, I would rather keep this as a secret to myself." That's Akatosh thought.

"Promise me Riya… At all cost, you must keep this as a secret same as the others." Akatosh says with a serious face not looking directly at her.

"Why?" She speaks.

"Then let me ask you, if the other nation had known the glittering dust formula there would be more casualties. Imagine if all the countries would wage war using this so-called glittering dust the damage would be intense. Imagine the cause of destruction it would bring."

"Can I trust you for this?" Akatosh continues.

"I will." Riya nods.

"Let this be our private thing no one else should know of this." Akatosh sigh.

After they have returned the wagon to the farmer. Both of them received a large number of fruits and vegetables all fresh from the garden.

"Thanks, gramps."

He shakes his head sideways. "No… I should be the one thanking you."

"Well, then may we see each other again and nice doing business with you mister," Akatosh says before leaving the place.

-At the town of Ravalind-

As they walk the other side of the road Akatosh was surprised to see all the people lining up at the side of the main road. Staring at some people marching through the path Akatosh can see that guards are standing, bordering away the citizens from the road.

There were knights and some other mage same as he once saw during his time with Ashalain. Guarding the carriage in the middle. The carriage, however, was open, clearly not a prince nor a king but somewhat a princess nor a priestess.

Though, when Akatosh notice the golden staff with majestic design and some gems embed in it. He assumed that she may well be a priestess or a maiden. She was young noticeably young to be exact not to mention a good-looking one. And even her white dress seems to hold magical power.

There are also people with her two to be exact, one was an old wizard-like, while the other a man not a guardian but like a noble or some royal person as they converse with each other.

"The people here are quite lively." Says the old man stroking his beard.

"Right, it's been years since I visited this place, I wonder if that woman is still making those good wines." The nobleman says.

"You seem to be known to this place, by the way, why did you come here first my lady priestess." The old wizard laughs.

Her eyes gently open not staring at both of them. "A call." A word she only said.

Suddenly she felt something a familiar thing she once felt but different as if scattered hidden, evidently it disappears.

"What's the matter, my lady." The old wizard says after noticing her unease action.

"Nothing." She says in a lifeless emotion

"What is this?" Akatosh ask Riya for answer

She stares at the carriage for a moment and finally answers. "The lady of the water."

"The what?"

"She's the priestess of Endregar a very high one."

"Care for some good info."

"She's powerful a priestess of Aziru the goddess of life and creation. She is said to be the first maiden of Aziru that was said to be a hundred years old thought that was just a rumour. She may have something with the king but why did she come here first?"

"Mm-hmm… Must be some reason to just find someplace to rest." Akatosh says in unsurprised and disbelief.

Right after the carriage pass, he saw the man that he once saw at Barry's shop the same man who wore a hooded cloak with his same subordinates. The lady of the water or whatsoever somehow notices him as she averts her eyes towards him and so too the man as if they know each other.

"Having a famous person stares a simple like adventurer, got to say there something from this youngster," Akatosh says looking towards the priestess and the man she's staring.

Change direction looking around her bodyguards. And by Akatosh's eyes, the person that he wants to brutally pummel was there confidently riding a horse with his smiling face.

Akatosh could see his trying to show off as if he was the VIP. Akatosh mood changes dramatically showing disgust and anger towards that man. Akatosh was so in a bitter mood that he left the scenery turning back and finding another path.

"Where are you going," Riya says.

"Library."
