Tedora Island

"Alright, let's see which place we should go next," said Prime excitingly as he can't wait to go on an adventure, especially since this is his first time ever to experience living in a fantasy world.

Then after a while, Prime made up his mind and pointed a place on the map, and said:

"Yo, Saito, how about this place?"

"Huh? Which one? said Saito as he moves closer to have a look on the ExionSaga map.

Upon looking at where Prime pointed at the map, Saito suddenly began to tremble, and at the same time, his face also turned gloomy and pale by it.

"What's wrong?" asked Prime worriedly.

"Nothing, if you want to go to that place, then you can go alone because I'm not going with you,"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because...."

"Because of what?"

"..... because that's where I lost my family to the human race,"

"Huh? What happened?"

"You really want to know what happened?"

"Yes, just tell me, I promise I won't laugh or anything,"

Saito then sighed and said, "Fine, well the truth is, my sister was kidnapped by the human of that island and she was sold as a sex slave, and as for me, I was also their slave for 10 years before I somehow managed to escape back into the ocean, which is why I won't go back there again,"

Due to being a slave for 10 years on that island, Saito was traumatized by it, so he fears and hates human ever since then, which why when he first saw Prime, he wanted to eat him even though he as a Koi fish in generally don't usually eat human because it is not part of their diet. Instead, their normal diet was eating other smaller fish and invertebrates in the sea.

'Your sister as a sex slave? Wtf? How does your sister even mate with a human anyway?' Prime thought to himself.

Since Saito is a Koi fish, so does his sister, which is why Prime was confused for a moment.

"You said your sister was kidnapped and you somehow managed to escape back into the ocean? What do you mean?"

"Well, when we were swimming around the coast of the island, we happened to saw some kind of event or festival going on because they were many people on that island. So out of curiosity, we then transformed ourselves into humans and visited the island because we wanted to enjoy the festival as well,"

Saito continues:

"However, while we are enjoying our time, suddenly we met a group of evil people, and thus we were kidnapped and sold as slaves. All of this happened was because of me, and due to my stupid curiosity, my sister and I ended up getting caught in such a mess," said Saito angrily and regretfully.

"That's really sad, and I'm truly sorry to hear about you and your sister tragedy,"

"No worries, that was a long time ago, and I don't even know if my sister is still alive or not, but at least you now know why I don't want to go back there again,"

Suddenly, he hears a trumpet noise in the background and not long after that, the system spoke and said:

[New Quest Available: Help Saito revenge on those people on the island, and help him find his sister and bring her back alive]

[Quest Reward: Two Million Experience Points, and + 100 Gold]

"Hmm, Two Million EXP huh, not bad and that should be able to help me gain about one level. Alright, accept! Easy peasy, Hahaha!"

While Prime was talking to himself, Saito already left as he didn't feel so good about going to that island. The name of that island is called "Tedora," and it is a land where the human race in charge of ruling it. Of course, they were other races such as Elf, Demon, and many more living there as well, but not that many in number.

Tedora island is an island that is part of the BlueStar Kingdom, and the BlueStar Kingdom is a kingdom where the majority of the human race lives, because that's where the human races originated from.

"Yo, Saito, where are you going?" said Prime as he saw Saito was swimming away.

Saito then stopped and turned and said, "I'm going home because I don't feel good, so bye-bye for now and may we meet again in the future if we're lucky,"

"Hahaha! Don't go yet, Saito, I have good news for you,"

"Good news for me? What do you mean?"

"I will help you for free,"

"What? Help me for free?"

"Yes, I will help revenge for you and also find your sister,"

"I see. Well I appreciate your offer, but as I said before, I don't know if my sister is still alive or not because if she was already dead, then it is just a waste of time to go back there,"

"Huh? How can you be so sure?"

"It is because of this pendant," said Saito as he showed it to Prime.

"This pendant? What do you mean?"

The pendant was crystal blue color and had the shape of an octagon.

"This is our family heirloom pendant that connects my soul and her soul together, so whenever one of us dies, the pendant will stop glowing,"

At the moment, the pendant is not glowing in blue color, but rather it just seems like an ordinary blue octagon diamond. Although it is still a beautiful pendant, but if it is glowing right now, then it would have been more beautiful.

'What?! That cannot be because if she was really dead, then why does the system even gave me this quest in the first place? Hmm, that's impossible, she must be alive somehow, or perhaps maybe someone might have cast some kind of magic spell to make her pendant stop working, who knows,' Prime thought to himself.

"I see, but I still don't believe that pendant of yours is accurate because I believe your sister is still alive somewhere waiting for you to rescue her, but you never did because you gave up before even trying,"

Prime refused to believe or let the pendant to decide their fate because if what Saito said was true, then it means that he will never be able to complete his quest because the quest said to bring Saito's sister back alive.

"That's impossible because when both my parent died a long time ago, I noticed my other two pendants stop glowing right after the moment they were killed. At first, I didn't believe it and thought this pendant was a lie, but when I discovered my dead parent bodies, that's when I realized the pendant was true after all,"

"Okay whatever, I don't give a care whether the pendant is accurate or not but let me tell this, in this world, nothing is impossible as long as I said so, do you understand?" said Prime as we he was trying to motivate Saito to stay positive.

"So you truly believe my sister is still alive then? But how do you know?" said Saito as he was still not convinced, but seeing how confident Prime was, he is starting to have doubt about the pendant he's wearing.

"I don't need to know, I just believe in my intuition. In any case, as I said, I will help you for free, so why are you even complaining? Just come with me to Tedora island because I need still your help to guide me in this world, as I'm still not very familiar with this world yet,"

"But...."

"No, but, and also don't forget I haven't forgiven you yet since you just tried to eat me earlier, and if I was a weak person back then, then I would have been killed by you already, but luckily I was strong that's why I'm still alive and well. Therefore, you better come with me since you owe me my life,"

Seeing how determined Prime was and also Saito knows that he doesn't have the power to refuse Prime's request, so he then sighed and said:

"Very well, if that's the case I will be in your care then Prime-sama,"

"Very good, Saito, alright now then let us go and meet that enemy of yours," said Prime as he jumped and landed on top of Saito's back.

The truth is Prime doesn't know if Saito's sister is still alive or not, but one thing he does know is that the system had never lied to him before because after all, it was the system's power that made him able to stay alive until now. Which is why he trusts the system more instead of Saito's pendant.
