3127 Paid by Others (Part 1)

"That's exactly what I was afraid of." Faluel sighed. "The bodies you have chosen follow Awakened beauty standards. If you go around looking like that, you are going to draw a lot of attention. Tone it down, like me."

Faluel's human form was very cute but she was no head-turner. At least until one interacted with her. There was so much grace and elegance in her poise that a human would find it hard to take their eyes off her.

After everyone became average-looking, Leegaain snapped his fingers and Warped them away.

"Grampa, wait-" Before the Hydra could finish the phrase, everyone was already in Ne'sra.

At first, she cursed the Guardian's name but then realized that he had chosen a place where the group would go unnoticed as their destination.

It was the city plaza and on top of a raised dais, a bard was singing one of the most famous songs of his repertoire while dancers and performers acted according to the scene described in the lyrics.

All eyes were on stage so no one witnessed the small groups appearing in the empty alleys. On top of that, Thrud's former followers were all Awakened and there was a mind link already established between them.

'Thank the gods Grampa is as smart as he looks.' Faluel sighed in relief. 'Doppelgangers, spread out and do whatever you want. If you encounter trouble, ask a guard, call me, or run to the closest Divine Beast.

'Everyone else, with me.' Her words fell on deaf minds.

Everyone was mesmerized by the play, especially the Doppelgangers. They had no notion of arts or entertainment. They were akin to a child who had never seen a toy and suddenly found himself in a toy shop.

The music, the dancing, the colorful costumes, everything was new and beautiful to them. The Divine Beasts, instead, were outraged. According to the pamphlets on the walls, the play was called "A Magus' Tale".

The actors had already gone past the part where the Supreme Magus had slain the evil minions of the Mad Queen and had moved to more recent events. A white-clad actor wielding a prop-Ragnar?k was fighting against a group of acrobats.

Multiple people dressed in stone grey stood on each other's shoulders to reproduce the height gap between Lith's Tiamat form and Thaymos.

Chore magic conjured colorful but harmless spells and the various special effects the play required. The Lith-actor lost but then a blonde woman emerged from behind the scenes and pushed one of the acrobats' chest, making the lost city crumble under her touch.

The spectators cheered as the Tyris-actress repeated the speech the Guardian had addressed to the people of Jiera. Adding a few artistic liberties and corny lines, of course.

Seeing "Lith" being celebrated even in defeat and the various stuffed dolls shaped as Divine Beasts' heads hung to the actor's belt enraged Faluel's guests.

'What did you expect?' She said via the mind link, drawing their gazes on her. 'This is enemy territory. Here you are the monsters and Lith is the hero.'

'Then why did you want to start our journey from your side of the Kingdom?' Ophius asked. 'To humiliate us?'

'No. To show you that Mogar didn't end with Thrud's defeat. That the people of our country are free and happy. Look around.'
