At first Dali just looked around randomly for the monuments, but he remembered the first one’s hidden meaning.

It wasn’t just finding them, it was recognising and understanding them.

So he looked at what he knew.

The Kings came to the city because they had mastered something.

This meant that they had to be related to the other types of land.

The easiest one was the mountain.

“This is obviously related to climbing.”

But he also knew that their monuments were in the city. After all, that’s what it was all about. Conquering the new terrain.

Climbing meant that the monument would be the tallest building.

He found the tallest building in the city.

“This is a monument”

Oh, that won’t work.

You have to identify which one it’s a monument to, and then you have to conquer it.

“How am I supposed to know that?”

In theory, you’d know enough about them before you came here.

Since you didn’t, I’ll give you a hint.

Each one is associated with one of the eight elements, so you can call them by their elements instead.

“What are the ‘eight elements’?”

...Wow.

You don’t even know that?

There are four cardinal elements and four in between. The in between elements are more associated with the cardinal element clockwise from them. Starting from the top clockwise it goes air, light, fire, metal, earth, ice, water, darkness.

Air and dark are associated, for example.

“Okay, so climbing would be earth?”

Yep. Now go conquer!

Did that mean he had to climb this thing?

Dali sighed, and got to work.

[p=center]* * *[/p]

“That was actually pretty fun.”

It had taken him four days to climb it.

He would have to accelerate.

You have found the monument of Leat the Hidden King of Earth!

Known for her climbing ability, in combat she specialised in taking down opponents than her by climbing on them and bringing them to the ground.

New Class Option!

If you leave this monument, you can become a Traceur of the Falling Giant

“One down!”

Dali thought for a while.

“But if the mountains are climb then what are the forests?”

It might behoove you to think about the elements.

“Air is probably jumping, so the canyons?”

“In that case, I’ll look for a gap between two buildings.”

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

This one only took him two days.

You have found the monument of Drake the Hidden King of Air!

Known for his jumping ability, in combat he specialised in jumping over his opponents to dodge their weapons and strike around their armors and shields.

New Class Options!

If you leave this monument, you can become a Traceur of the Soaring Leaf.

If you leave this monument, you can become a Traceur of the Crushing Battle.

“Hey, what’s this second class?”

Oh, that’s a special class. You got it because of the two ones you have. A combined class, you know?

“But with eight binary variables, there would be two hundred fifty six classes.”

Nope. Not all of them exist. And all the combo ones have two, four, or eight.

“Even so…”

Hey, don’t you find anything interesting in the number of major element?

“Not really, why?”

Look, it’s a hint. You owe me a favor for it by the way.

“Four?”

Yeah.

“Well there are four western elements.”

Exactly. You solved it. The reason there are four elements is because there are four elements. Genius.

“I’m sorry I don’t know about whatever crazy thing you’re talking about, but I don’t know anything about this world.”

Believe me, I’ve noticed

“So if there are four ages or something, I haven’t heard about it.”

I guarantee you’ve heard about this.

“Something everyone would know?”

“Time here moves four times as fast!”

No.

That’s the stupidest thing you’ve said yet.

You should be ashamed.
