City of Runes

"Ascent," the runemaster muttered the name, savoring it. "I love how simple it is. However, I thought you wanted to be expelled rather than leaving," asked Ori as he twirled the ice in his cup.

"That was the plan, but I didn't think I would create a guild. Also, the bastards pissed me off," replied Arthur as his eyes never left the letter he was holding. "Our application has been approved."

"...we are revisiting Runera," sighed Oriole with reminiscence. "I know that we have been there once before, but at that time, you did not have your memories, and you had to die."

"It was the same plan for this timeline," smiled Arthur as he the letter away. "This exploration might reveal what Diana did in this timeline."

"The two words were 'My Seika,' and it can be someone else. For example, the witch Gala, or the snake-woman Larza," Ori tried to keep his hopes down, and Arthur nodded in understanding. "Furthermore, it can also be a trap by the guardians."
