Reborn; A Slave to the World

guards come back with a small chest that they sit down on the table before Artemis. "Inside this chest is a pouch of coins for you and one other item that I hope you find useful." King Kuroda says with a smirk on his face. I didn’t really know what to think of this kind of reward but at least the king is giving me something after yesterday. Coins will definitely help since I’ve been broke personally...

"Thank you, your majesty." Artemis replies before opening up the chest. A surprised look grows on his face as he looks down at a key.

I’ve never been given a key for a gift before, what exactly does this do?

"I wish you could stay longer but I do understand the importance of traveling the world." King Kuroda says.

"I’m sure I’ll be back here at some point." Artemis replies with a reassuring tone.

There wasn’t much else that needed to be said after that since everything was given that I was owed. Not that it was actually owed to me or anything but I guess that was just one way of thinking about it.

Artemis took his rewards and then the party left Theos, leaving behind the kingdom with its strange king. "The key, I think it can help us get to Helfri a lot faster than walking all the way back." Isabel speaks up with confidence.

I didn’t really understand why he gave us a key so if Isabel knows how to use it then I won’t complain, especially if it saves us the walk.

It didn’t take much for me to take it out of my pocket since that’s where I stored it for the time being. I should probably invest in a better place to store items going forward though.

He hands the key over to Isabel, she doesn’t take long to inspect it. "It’s definitely a warp Key which I didn’t even think still existed, most of them were used or lost over time." Isabel says with a bit of shock in her voice.
