Teleportation to an Unknown Kingdom
"Alright, so you guys who have chosen to stay here, make sure the city stays safe, alright? When I get back, I don't want to see everything in ruin." Aaron told Oki, Seph, None and Free, who all looked at him with determined looks in their eyes. "Of course. We aren't going to let anyone suspicious into the city, and if anything does happen, we'll take care of it.". Oki responded, causing Aaron to let out a small laugh. "I know you will, Oki. I presume that I won't have to say the same to you guys, right?" Aaron asked, looking at Seph, None and Free. "Oh, of course not, Aaron. We'll make sure that everything is kept safe and under control," Seph responded, causing None to agree. Free didn't make any gestures, so he assumed her to be alright with the plan.
"Alright, so now that we're all caught up on the plan, let me explain what the people who are travelling with me are going to do, excluding standing around while we make speeches," Aaron said, walking away while bringing Crystet, Sciat, Jude and the King along with him. "Oki! Take care of the city!" Aaron yelled one more time before the entire group vanished. Aaron had teleported just out of sight from the main entrance to the city. They were teleported to just outside of the city, also known as just outside a human's line of sight. The horizon.
They appeared at the mid-way point between Aaron's city and the King's Kingdom, as they were technically meeting in the middle with this agreement. "Alright. We have a plan we need to execute. We're going to be teleporting to each and every one of the races in this world. When we arrive at each Kingdom, we will have to find a way to make a speech without, you know, offending everyone there." Aaron explained, his eyes gleaming with opportunity. "However, there are some plus sides to this. Remember, it might get us new inhabitants for our city, new items, new cultures, and something more valuable than all of that. New information. Think about it. Right now, Crystet, Sciat and I are absolutely clueless about this world, and this tournament of ours could gather the information that we need." Aaron explained, lighting up both Crystet and Sciat's eyes. "After all, Jude, I bet that you'd know at least a small bit about some of the races, right?"
"Yeah, I know a little bit. I know some basic Orcish knowledge. I also know some myths about the legendary Berso race. They are known as the species at the end of the world." Jude responded. "That's all of the knowledge I possess, so I'm just as clueless as the rest of you," Jude added, causing Aaron to sigh. "I might have to ask you to share some information on the Berso race later, but now isn't the time. We also don't have time for a history lesson from you, King, so I will ask that you don't try to give me one right now. We can circumvent pointless time-wasting by learning from the native as and if they wish to share information with us." Aaron replied, shutting the King up before he got a chance to speak. "Now, all we need to do is deliver speeches to all of the Kingdoms, which shouldn't be so hard, except for one problem. That issue is that if we mess up, we'll ruin both our and the King's reputation, and that would bode unwell in the future if we, or I, mess up too much. We don't want to have to deal with war, do we?" Aaron asked Crystet, Sciat and Jude, who rapidly shook their heads. Jude knew that war was extremely bad for the mental health of people. However, Sciat and Crystet knew what it was like to be in a war. A fight for their lives, but a war nonetheless.
"So, we have to do this carefully. That's why I gave two options. It was just in case Free, or even Oki, got bored while waiting around for me. I don't want them to cause any damage while I give out my speeches. After all, a bored child is a dangerous child. If the child loses concentration in something, which could be anything, we are absolutely fucked. That is the sole reason why I gave two options. If Oki grew impatient and lightly punched a wall, he would break it down." Aaron explained. "Now that the child issue is out of the way, we can finally get back to the speeches. We need to plan everything correctly, or else we will fail miserably. And by plan, I mean we will have absolutely no plan at all going into this, and we'll just wing it like I always do. After all, there's never a better time than the present to make something up. Doing it beforehand gives us more time to overthink things." Aaron finished before tapping his head against the King's head.
"Sorry about this. I'm just trying to teleport us to the correct location, and I don't want us to have to walk for days." Aaron apologised, all of the locations in the King's mind appearing before his eyes, but only to him. It was all like a game select screen, where you'd choose your stage. Aaron found it funny how it was laid out like that, but he decidedly liked it the way it was.
"I have no idea where any of the races live, so I'm going to choose a random Kingdom. Now, forgive me if I chose a Kingdom you've only been to once, but, as I just said, I have no idea where in the hell I'm bringing us." Aaron told the King, everyone appearing outside a frosty Kingdom, almost as if it was home to Arctic Dwellers. "Oh, you really brought us here, of all places?!" The King yelled in confusion. "What's the issue?" Aaron asked.
"You just brought us to the home of the Ice Wardens, second in power to the mythical Blood Wardens, and there are hundreds of them!"
