Investigating a Graveyard

Adrian could be seen annoying Ascalor to give him a mission that could give him a hint about the Asmodians. Ascalor could not take the begging anymore and told him to ask another elder of the Daemos tribe. The Djinn elder who is famed for his mastery in the time aspect of time magic. Adrian then went his own way which Ascalor did not mind since he was now free from the over inquisitive young man.

========================

In a majestic structure standing before a city of bustling trade, a group of five can be seen inside of what you could call a church. White pristine walls of marble could be seen in the halls as if giving the it the illusion that the halls are infinite. Angels of different sizes and shapes can be seen adorning these halls as statues and paintings. The group managed to reach the main area of the church and there the mural of the Goddess of Light is shown with a height of about 50 meters which must have cost a lot to build. When light hits the mural, the light scatters and gives the illusion that the Goddess of Light herself has descended to give her light to the world. In the main hall a priestess dressed in white and gold can be seen welcoming the group.

" Welcome back heroes. I assume that the mission that we gave you has been fruitful." said the priestess with a beautiful face but with an expression of high superiority.

" Yes, your Holiness Pristina. We have managed to acquire the relic that you have ordered us to get. The acolyte did not speak to what he will do with the relic thus we decided to deliver him to justice for the vile things that he has done." said Hou Yiwei the current highest rank player of the game. He then gave the crown fragment to the holy knight that presented himself to him.

"You have done well adventurers. As promised here are your rewards. Take them and go." Pristina said in a monotonic voice.

" Is that all that we get. Do we not even get clues on what the fragment does or what is for." said an orc with slight irritated tone.

"Silence foul beast! Her Holiness is not talking to you!" a holy knight shouted while sporting a battle stance.

The priestess of the group the group suddenly calmed down her group and apologized for the rudeness of her teammate.

" This will be the last time this should happen Priest White. Keep your associates in check." said Pristina in a reprimanding tone.

The group of five just bowed and left since the business with the Church of Light has been finished though their orc teammate was not happy. It was not a secret that the Church of Light did not like other races other than the human race but tolerates the other races since they deem them as a necessity for the world's safety. Also they could not overpower the other major churches of the world which are the Church of Life and the Church of Dragons.

==========================

Adrian was looking for the cave structure that has a clock which Ascalor angrily said to him which made him run out of the town hall. Luckily the djinn elder was very popular. Adrian just asked the townspeople on the location and they happily told them the location of the djinn elder's house. He finally reached the elder's abode and they were not kidding with the clock. The clock was floating on top of his abode. It was made of rock yet did not induce scratching noises when rocks scratch against each other. Adrian knocked the door and it just opened. He was creeped out and was about to leave when he suddenly got sucked inside of the house with door closing slowly as if nothing happened.

Adrian was free falling and screaming his lungs out when he knew the state he was in. He was free falling for a few minutes when he heard a laugh from the side. He then landed in a platform with a thud and light from his surroundings suddenly flooded his vision. He was standing on what seems like a clock platform without the clock hands. Around him were similar platforms with similar aesthetic but with different size and some were floating and moving. He suddenly heard something from behind him.

" Ehm... What can I do for you young man?" a djinn that looks like an old man that is wearing a long gray robe with a big clock floating at his back.

" I...I..I didn't mean to intrude but I was suddenly sucked inside your house. If you want I could leave just please point me to the exit." Adrian said as he was standing.

" There is no need young one. I am sorry for playing prank on you young lad. I just wanted to have a little fun" the old djinn said.

" Why do all these elders seem childish" Adrian thought.

" As you may have known, I am the djinn elder and chronomancer Koronn." the old djinn said.

" I am Equinox. I was only going to ask you if you by chance have any clue pertaining to what happened to the asmodians. Ascalor said you might know of the details." Adrian queried.

" And why do you want to know about them young man? Did Ascalor put you up for this?" said Koronn with slightly darker tone.

" I just want to know since I was given a mission by the Twin Gods." Adrian said.

" The twin gods you say. I was wondering why my sentient house suddenly invited you in without my consent." Koronn whispered to himself.

" Anyway, you are a chronomancer right? Why can't you just turn back time or change history if you are a powerful time mage?" Adrian asked unaware of Koronn's inner thoughts.

Snapping back to the conversation Koronn answered with " You cannot use time magic to turn back time to a thousands of years. Even if I could do that, my body will not be able to handle casting that spell even if our race is the textbook definition of immortal. Also I can travel back through time but changing the timeline could very well tear the fabric of reality. Why do you think the corruptants managed to arrive to our plane of existence."

As if hearing something important from Koronn, Adrian's ears perked up.

" Did you just say corruptants?! Can you tell me more about them?" Adrian asked.

Koronn smiled and said " That would be a topic for another day young lad. I did say we could not change history but that did not mean you could not travel back it time."

" But I thought we should not change the timeline" Adrian said with doubt.

" I could summon a portal to the past for you but the restrictions should apply to you that you must not interact with beings belonging to the past. Stick to these rules and I would help you in your endeavor" Koronn said with a smile on his face.

" I smell something fishy here" Adrian thought to himself while giving the elder scrutinizing looks.

As if reading Adrian's mind, Koronn explained himself.

" Fine, there is a special dungeon that I discovered that might give a clue about our ancestors but it was protected by an energy shield which is a restriction spell." Koronn said with a sigh.

" Why didn't you say so earlier, I accept then so-" Adrian's speech was cut short with Koronn opening a portal beneath him and this time Kanlaon and Sirius was with him.

" Damn you old man! You didn't even let me prepare!" shouted Adrian with anger.

After a few seconds, the trio landed on what looks to be a graveyard.
