Looking up at the sky with Wonder, Orb sees that the purple sky is filled with different shining gems that radiate light down on the area below it and enraptured by this, he says, "The sky is so cool!"
He looks at Avram with the eyes of a child who can't wait to finish their homework and go play.
Abbán, staring at it, says, "Is this even possible?"
Elia, walking up, says, "Blestemate is special, the very land itself is cursed, and all natural phenomena are cursed along with it."
"I thought you could only curse that which has a soul?" Will asks.
Iancu says, "You already have an example of spirit energy being trapped in the land, don't you?"
Maple and Suzuka jump up. The Orb says, "Wouldn't that mean the land had to be flooded with spirit energy before it was cursed?"
Avram says, "Exactly."
Suzuka, with a shocked expression, adds, "But who could even do that?"
Walking over to Cyrus and smacking him in the back, Iancu says, "A dragon."
Avram then says, "A dragon came to this land long ago and flooded it with its spirit energy, and then cursed the very land and all the people within it, creating Blestemate."
Elia clears her throat, and Avram turns to her and says, "You can finish your explanation."
"Blestemate, as you can see, is a country in the southwestern area of Terrafide, a part of the continent known as the beast claw since its shape resembles that of a beast.
It is the oldest country in Terrafide, and is made up exclusively of nightmares and their descendants. Almost all the countries within Terrafide Blestemate have almost no contact with any of the others, except for a few relations with Cordum.
It is considered a powerhouse country, and despite having the smallest military between Gevurah, Avalon, and Cordum, it is still just as strong as any of them."
As they fly through the sky, Maple points to the ship and says, "Look at those big heaps of land!"
Willow, Dumorix, and Suzuka all rush over to look, and Suzuka says, "Isn't that just a mountain?"
Maple says, "I only ever heard of them in books, I never knew I would be able to see one like this"
Dumnorix says, "Giant heaps of lands that reach for the sky, just like me, it seems that we could be great friends as well."
Looking over and seeing the mountain range that stretches far into the distance, Maple says, "How far does this go?"
Elia, walking over, says, "It's one of the-,"
With green hair of excitement, Orb chimes in and says, "Three great tears of god, a series of mountains and/or mountain ranges that appear throughout Terrafide. There are the Gottes Einheit, which are scattered throughout the eastern parts of Terrafide, and the Dei Monilia, which is another group of mountains that can be found around the areas that make up the land around the great sea of Genesis. And finally would be the Ocrotirea Lui Dumnezeu, the single largest mountain range in which stretches from the southern to the easternmost point of the beast's claws, trapping and sealing off the beast's claw from the rest of Terrafide."
Orb turns to Elia giving her a smug look of victory, which only gets a slight smile that has absolutely no care or pain for the actions taken against her.
So as she walks away, Orb's hair turns rosewood, and Willow shouts, "BIG BIRDS!"
Avram says, "Iancu, go get the storage," and in the same moment, everyone turns to look at what's in front of them.
Approaching at high speed is a series of what scary creatures with strange bodies that are misshapen, and filled with colours one wouldn't expect a living being to have embedded in their flesh.
Each one is distinct, but almost all of them share two traits. First is they fly. Some fly with wings of different shapes and sizes, others propel themselves in the air, and others ride on strange beasts that share similarities to their bodies.
Second is that they all have banners attached to their bodies, which are primarily white with red designs around them, and a golden Eagle on them. It is modified and changed to fit on everyone's bodies, but keeps a shape similar to a banner on each.
Looking at them, Orb says, "Nightmares?"
Avram, walking up behind him, says, "One of the three main forces of Blestemate, the Cursed sky army Zenitas."
"Why are they here?" Maple asks
"Well, we are technically illegally trying to fly into the country, of course they will try to intercept us."
Maple starts to freak out and says, "I wasn't prepared for this! I can't allow my first meeting to be bad! I need to put on fancier clothes and get ready."
Before Maple can leave, one of the nightmares lands on the deck in front of everyone, a nightmare with a golden and blue body that looked like fleshy armour, and two giant birdlike wings on his back.
His wings stretch out, and each one resembles a blade. Then he says, "Get on your knees, humans."
Everyone pauses and they look around at all of the different flying nightmares who have positioned themselves, but Dumnorix, walking forward, says, "Greetings, everyone, I am Dumnorix Rogha Dé! The leader of the Morrig-!"
"CYRUS!" Orb shouts.
Causing Cyrus to grab and keep him down, Orb runs up to him and says, "Don't bring attention to yourself."
The nightmares shoot out feathers that are like swords, towards everyone, which they all quickly dodge, and he says, "I have no time to waste with jokes! Why are you all here?"
Flaring his wings again, he says, "Or maybe I should just cut all of you into pieces."
Soon, he is smacked directly on the head by Avram, and he says, "Gintaras, what kind of behaviour is this!"
Gintaras flares his wings in anger and then says, "Who are you to do such a thing to me?"
"It's me, fried chicken."
Grabbing Avram by the face, Gintaras says, "YOU SHITTY LITTLE VAMPIRE!"
Grabbing Gintaras back, Avram says, "It seems you have really gone up in the world! Now the leader of a Zenitas squadron. What seat level are you? Knowing you must be a 2nd or the 3rd, but maybe your kiss ass attitude got you disliked and you're a 7th seat."
"Shut up, I am actually a 4th seat!"
As everyone watches them, Gintaras lets go of Avram and refocuses, then says, "So I assume this is your ship, Avram Bogdan. I don't know even where to begin with this."
"I told you I will build the pinnacle of golems, a robot someday."
"Yes, yes, but it seems you have truly become far better than any could have ever expected. A ship that flies through the air through the use of nothing but science, a wonder and I congratulate you for bringing such military might to Blestemate."
"I didn't make this. I guess that's what I expect from Fried chicken."
Grabbing Avram Gintaras says, "I AM NOT FRIED CHICKEN! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T BUILD THIS, DID YOU REALLY COMMIT A NATIONAL CRIME TO GO TO ELPÍDA AND NOT COME BACK WITH SOME RESULTS?"
"I had a wonderful little man!"
As the two talk, Orb looks on at Avram, whose smile is brighter than it ever was, and then says, "HELLO, MY NAME IS ORB RIAN! AND I APOLOGISE FOR FLYING THROUGH YOUR AIRSPACE!" While bowing.
Gintaras, staring at Orb, says, "A bend at a perfect 90-degree angle, a hand that is sticking out to my exact arm height, and not a single micromovement happening within his body. This level of etiquette is not something I could expect from a human! Avram, this must be your son, then?"
Rubbing Orb's head, Avram says, "Nothing like that. My little man is actually over there."
As Iancu runs out, he carries a box filled with different cursed weapons, and shows them to Gintaras, then says, "We have dozens of boxes like this."
The erraticness caused by Gintaras's interaction with Avram vanishes, and he says, "You collected all of these while away?"
"I might have broken national rules, but I still carry the spirit of my people wherever I go."
"You're a national criminal?" Iancu says, looking at his dad.
Putting his finger on his son's lip, Avram says, "Shhhh."
"I thank you for your effort, but regardless of that, I don't think it would be wise for humans to be brought with you."
Pointing at Orb, Willow and Maple, Gintaras says, "Bringing humans to Radonitsa will only be to the dissatisfaction of all the people."
"Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Why is that?"
"This child is a friend of Captivant."
Gintaras stares at Orb with confused eyes, and then quickly moves over to Avram. Gintaras says, "This isn't some secret love child, right?"
"I AM NOT!"
Facing Orb, Gintaras says, "I see then. You can all pass, but you will be following us to one of the Cursed Sky army bases. I am pretty sure you were going to do something stupid like landing the airship in the middle of the city."
"Oh no, I was planning on landing it in front of the queen's palace."
"I can never tell if you're just messing with me, or you're that dumb."
Gintaras turns to walk away, but as he does, some of his soldiers come up and start speaking to him, and then Gintaras turns around says, "Avram, they want your autograph."
"Come over here then."
Using his blood, Avram starts to sign their bodies and Orb beside Iancu says, "Is the national criminal famous?"
"I have no idea. In all honesty, he doesn't really talk about Blestemate. I always thought he hated it for years."
Looking forward, Orb says, "I don't know a lot about him, but that definitely isn't the look of someone who hates the people around him."
"Looks like the dumb wolf is right about anything."
Picking up Iancu, Orb hugs him and says, "Don't worry, I will wait till you start speaking your true feelings."
"LET GO OF ME!"
As Avram finishes, he turns, and he says, "It's time to head off."
-Break-
Flying through the sky, everyone looks overboard where they see a large number of people riding on the back of cursed animals, and others walking, causing Maple to ask, "Where is everyone going?"
"My country of Blestemate is split up into four main regions. The Cursed sky, which is mainly around the Ocrotirea Lui Dumnezeu mountain range, the Cursed land, which takes up the bulk of the southern land, and the Cursed Sea, which includes the entire southern and western coastline. Then in the north with have the Cursed heart, which holds the queen. It's the origin and heart of the country, and where everyone goes for Radonitsa every year."
Pointing into the distance, Avram says, "And that's our capital city. Căderea-dracului."
Looking into the distance, everyone's eyes are fixed on the city they see. A giant, horrific beast lies over a city. The city is fixed around three churches, coloured dark blue, dark green, and white, with dark red used as an addition. Each of the churches is uniquely shaped and has a cube body with giant domes hanging over it. But despite the similarities in shape, there still exist different themes running through each church.
The blue Church has a shape that is reminiscent of a corrupted deep-sea ocean with coral, stones, calms, and pearls decorating it. The green one has a more Sylvan feel, with flowers, trees, and bug parts decorating it, while the white one has designs reminiscent of the sky, such as clouds, lightning, feathers, storms, rain, and so on throughout it.
Each church shines a light of the respective colour(With the white church being a red light) throughout the area that blends with the purple that shines down, and coats everything around them.
But above every single one of the churches and the city lies a skeletal beast that stares down and covers them all.
