Chapter 2. The beginning of the trip.

..."Maybe they do it out of fear?"...

- the next day-

Gats woke up, 2 hours earlier than expected, the meeting was supposed to take place at 9:00. Gats decided to rest and prepare for the trip. He was eating and at the same time thinking out loud

- Why is stardust so poorly guarded? This is an artifact of the highest danger, and some spies were able to steal it...

From the stream of thoughts, he was pulled out by a knock on the door.

- Gats, open up. It's me, Mada!

- I'll open it now! (Mada? What is he doing, so early?)

- Hi Gats - Mada began abruptly

- Hi, - Gats replied

- I suggest to leave early so as not to be late

- Okay... -reluctantly replied Gats, who wanted to rest before the trip

- Come on! Mada shouted sharply

- Ah! - Gats was frightened - yes, now..

After 10 minutes, they were already walking through the city, saying goodbye to him. After about 15 minutes, they arrived at the place. There was only Kana. There was no Anarai.

- Hi, guys, - she said, starting a conversation

- Hi - they said it at the same time.

Gats and Mada have been close friends since childhood. Mada dreamed of becoming a magician. And Gats, in turn, wanted to master both arts at once. They were classmates and spent the whole school together, and because of this they became very close friends.

About half an hour later, Anarai arrived. He didn't say hello to anyone, but only clicked when he saw the rest of the squad members.

- (what's wrong with him!?) Gats thought

They stood there in awkward silence for about 20 minutes. Then the king arrived at the place.

- Hello everyone - he began

- Greetings to Your Majesty! - everyone said at once

- Your Majesty, let me ask a question - Anarai began - why are there only magicians in the squad, but weaklings? So also a woman? Do you think they know how to fight?!

- Calm down Anarai - the king interrupted him - this is the best we have at the moment, you are all equal in strength. Anyone else from the army would have lost to everyone from the squad members. So please stop underestimating them and accept the fact that you will have to fight with them, side by side

- (wow...) - Mada thought to himself

- Shh, Okay...

- (he talks so rudely to the king, as if doing him a favor. Yes, how is that possible?!) - Kana thought to herself

- Listen... - the king began - right now, you will go to the rear of the enemy, in a small battle carriage. There will be amenities for living, food and water.

Along with this, the army will attack the enemy so that you can safely leave. And then another task of the squad is drawn, to find the remaining 3 copies of the "dust", before the creator.

- WHAT?! But the Stardust must still be guarded in the castle. Is not it so? Mada said sharply

- It should be true, but.. - The king continued, - The fact is that stardust is a dependent artifact. That is, this dust just teleported closer to its current owner... "Dust" can teleport only 1 time and then to a random place, but this is definitely outside our kingdom..However, this information is known only to me, as well as to you. The Creator doesn't know about it. I'm sure. Now, your primary task is to find and get dust. I hope you understand?

- yes! - they all answered together

"Well, then," the king began again, "you will go at the signal of the general when you hear a shot. This shot will mean that the army has engaged the enemy. So you should not be noticed.

- I see! - Mada answered, for everyone.

After 15 minutes, they were already in the combat carriage and preparing for the trip. And a shot rang out sharply.

- GO AHEAD! The king shouted

The carriage started abruptly and drove off.As they rode, they could hear the battle cries of soldiers on the battlefield, as well as several other unfamiliar sounds. They were ready for everything that was waiting for them on the way. However, so far, they were driving quietly...

- end of the second chapter-

Information currently available:

The combat carriage is a weapon that was invented about 50 years ago, before the events of history. It is because of itself an ordinary carriage, but armored and with guns inside. Since these carriages were multifunctional, they were suitable both for the siege of the city and for quick operations. Usually, water and food can be stored inside them, for long sieges, or trips.

Magic armor is an armor that was created specifically for a special squad to fight the creator. Armor protects better than armor made of hardened steel, but its production usually takes 2 weeks (for one person). Production is long, due to the fact that the armor is made of a special metal. Which requires storage in a hot and then in a cold temperature. Usually the ore of this metal is located high in the mountains. The peculiarity of the armor is that it gives immunity to some attacks: magicians, adepts and creators.

Namely: telekinesis, telepathy, hypnosis, mind control, mind reading, etc.
