Of The Guardians: Inheritor [Being Made Into a Novel Series]"I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
"We're almost there," Kris announced. You and Luhan were flying on Aeyow, Suho was flying on Elam, and Kris was just... flying. "So our plan is to go to find the Inheritors who live close first and then work our way to the Outerlands?" Suho asked as he looked at his map and wrote a few notes on it. Kris nodded his head. "And the closest tribe to our current position is the tribe of Trema."
"Oh, they live in Arth! That's just a few miles away from Orcana. I've visited that city before; we should find the next Inheritor in no time!" Luhan exclaimed happily. "Well, not exactly. Tremas are very... different than most people," Kris reminded Luhan. You tilted your head in confusion. "In what way?" you asked. "Most Tremas are secretive and kind of prideful; that gives them mixed personalities. So when you meet one, you don't know what to expect. Well, that's only based on my experience with working with them," Kris explained.
"Luhan, do you know of any places in Arth where a lot of Tremas go to?" Suho asked; he was now jotting something down in his journal. Honestly, you were a little scared that he might lose balance and fall off. But he seemed to have good balance, and that put you at ease. "Hm... not really. I was always monitored by my bodyguards, so I wasn't really able to go anywhere," Luhan replied. "So you didn't try to run away in Arth?" you asked jokingly. He grinned and nudged your shoulder. "Just keep flying, Kora."
"Fine, I'm flying, I'm flying! How much longer till we arrive in Arth?" you asked Suho. "Hm... we should be arriving there, right about... now," he answered as he pointed downward. You followed his hand and looked at the city beneath you. The city had many rounded buildings and waterways, which had many boats in them. You assumed that they used the waterways as means of transportation throughout Arth.

You all landed, put the dragons in their stables, and entered Arth. Just as you assumed, there were people using the waterways as streets by traveling though them with their small boats. But there were normal streets for other people to use. Kris, Suho, Luhan, and you walked over a bridge suspended over one body of water and arrived at the island-like main part of the city.
This city was quieter than Orcana, but that was probably because GuRan HaMi was going on when you visited. You walked down the streets and looked around. The buildings looked more manmade; everything in Arth looked more metallic compared to the brick and glass buildings of Orcana. The people didn't dress as fancy as those of Orcana, but then again, anything compared to what your people wore was considered fancy.
You were suddenly handed a piece of paper by a tall brown-haired man. "Come see the greatest long-range weapon masters in all of Ordea!" he said in a loud, booming voice, trying to not only keep your attention, but also grab the attention of others passing by. "A contest for those who want to prove their skills in archery, the crossbow, javelin throwing, and knife throwing! Sign up are open for today only in the Coliseum!"
"Hm... this sounds interesting," Suho said as he looked over your shoulder at the flyer you had received. "Very, do you think we can go?" Luhan asked. "I don't see why we can't look around for a bit," Kris answered. "Yay! I want to see how good these so-called 'masters' are," you added. Suho pulled away from your group and took a few steps towards a young lady carrying a large box. "Excuse me, we're new in town. Which way to the Coliseum?"
"Walk straight down this street until you get to the large statue, make a left, and you'll be right
