Chapter 1052: 1054. Greed's Curse

All of Walker's emotions screamed at him to find his party. Find his family. Find a way to pull everyone out of there to safety. But he knew that if he stayed he would be in the same situation as everyone else. He would be unconscious and unable to survive. The last words from the forest elf queen didn't encourage him to stay either. Since she had told him to get out as fast as possible he couldn't hesitate. 

Walker sprinted out of the city with all his might. He found that there were some guards that had managed to escape as well. "Sir hero!" the small group of five had been easy to spot from the direction that Walker had left the city. "Thank the holy lord that you escaped. People started to get sick and fall over. We rushed away worried that we were under attack but we found nothing out her to be causing it all." The guard reported everything he knew immediately. He even went so far as to pull out the patrol path order he had been given to explain where he had been when things started to happen. 

"I am trying to figure things out as well. Since you are the only guards left I want you to patrol around and make sure that no one else enters the city. Stop them and make a temporary camp until things are solved." That was when the weight of this problem hit him. Walker was the only one that he knew had also escaped the city and he would need to get the solution to fix this issue. Too many lives were at stake. 

His mind fell on the journal in his hands that the elf queen had forced in to his hands. He started to flip through the pages before he found one that stuck out. "The sealing of Greed." He knew that this had to be what was going on. The information about this took up almost the entire journal. 

"Listen carefully. I need people to bounce this off of while I think." Walker knew that he wouldn't be able to do this alone. The more minds ha had thinking the better. 

"Greeds' curse is one that any kingdom should fear. It draws out the mana and very life of a people from them. It works similarly to an illness and in a matter of a day or two, an entire people can be brought in to an unwakable slumber. This was what split and caused the desert elf city of mages to fall. The attack of Greed was completely unknown for a series of months until a sealing sage was dispatched from the forest elf settlement." 

Walker stopped for a moment, he was understanding what this might all mean. "So everyone is cursed? How can the church members get cursed? Shouldn't they be immune or able to combat that?" One of the guards was rightfully angry but didn't receive an answer. 

"The sealing sage spent his own soul and used a skill he had not yet understood. With his life, he was able to seal away Greed forever. The remains of the desert elves split and went off on their own leaving the desert mage city to be taken back by the sands. The mage tower is and will always be the only tower able to stand. Many theories and rumors have surfaced over the years about the purpose of the mage tower…" Walker skipped through the pages explaining the purposes of the city and towers. He knew that this was not exactly what he needed. 

"The sealing sage had found an ancient sealing magic that he was attempting to learn. It had been found in ruins that were older than the elves and any other race that could be tracked. The magic was extremely hard to grasp but the metal tablet had survived an unknown number of years. Traces of the magic proved that the magic itself had been sealed within the metal tablet." 

"That's it! Seal Greed again! Everything will be fixed!"

"You say that like we just have that metal tablet lying around. It has to be where that Greed demon thing was sealed in the first place. Also, why were they sealed? Can't we just like, hit it?" The guards argued a little but Walker was also curious why Greed had been left sealed and not defeated. 

"It says, Greed has a unique power that comes with the title. He can absorb the energy around him to maintain his life. He is often seen in a sickly state until he is able to curse a large number of people. Upon sealing the energy he absorbs is returned to those he stole it from. Yet even after checking on the sealing a hundred years later, Greed was still thought to be left alive and was therefore buried deeper in the sands of the desert." 

This was enough for all of them to understand that this title and curse was basically making Greed immortal. The Curse wasn't just that though. It made Greed a sickly and weak demon that didn't seem to be able to grow without taking what others had for themselves. He was the definition of a demon made in to a monster. 

"I will go and find this desert city. I wish there was someone else to help…Scylla isn't back yet!" Walker realized that he had forgotten that Scylla was not back yet. "Alma too!" This realization was even bigger. He would have Alma and her enforcers with Scylla and whatever could help them. Scylla may have been training but she wouldn't have passed the city or gotten back to the demi-human city. He could contact her with a communication crystal he had saved. Then he could find Alma along the way and get to the desert to save Genesis. 

"Things aren't so hopeless after all." The guards felt their hope rise.
