Φ Jumping off Willow the 2nd I look at everyone reuniting and say, “How have you all been.” When the villagers hear what I say, they knock me across the head. “What was that for?”“You guys said you would be back in a little while; You were gone for over four months! Do you have any idea how worried we were? We thought something had gone wrong. We were days away from sending a rescue party after you?”“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to extend the rescue mission.”While holding me by my collar, one of them says, “You couldn’t send anyone back to tell us at all.”“There were some issues with doing that, and I knew that Pine wouldn’t let you guys leave because you would have had no way of reaching us. So please, can we stop this.”“Orb, it sounds like you’re just passing by our anxiety over the last four months. But don’t worry, we will repay you every last bit.”Shit, I am so sleep-derived that I don’t have the energy to think of how I upset them; someone please get me out of t

-Break-Φ “Hey Orb”“What is it, Willow.”“Where the hell are you leading us? We have been moving east for some time, and I swear you told me Deno is to the south, so where are we going? Cause I am pretty sure we’re Lost.”“Don’t you trust me, Willow?”“How can I trust you, you have never been there before, so your just as blind as me when it comes to directions in the outside world.”“That’s rude, unlike you. I at least have a vague idea of where we’re going.”“And unlike you, I have to find my way back after dropping you guys off.”“Well then, maybe instead of complaining, you should focus on remembering how we came.”“I don’t want to hear that from you. Since we started, you have been giving Willow the 2nd half-assed instructions while you have been preoccupied messing with Cyrus.”“Well, what am I supposed to do? Leave him alone. He is not only a dragon but looks like a hero from all the adventure stories I read. I want to hang him up on my wall and frame him.”“We have been over

-Break-After running around for a while, we eventually found a secluded area to sit down. While there, the man started to patch up the boy’s injuries and said to the boy, “So can you tell me why you would do something as foolish as stealing?”“It’s none of your business old man,” the kid says. But moments later, he is slapped in the face by the man.“You fool, something has driven a young boy like you to fall into the theft. Of course that’s my business, so whatever it may be, I will certainly come and help you, so please tell me why.”The boy who freezes up for a second, says with his head hanging low, “There is someone I want to use this sword to kill.”“My god, why would you want to do such a thing.”“You see, my father and I came to Deno to expand our family business. But when we arrived a few years ago, a man who claimed to be an expert in helping small business rise came up to my father. As this man promised, he helped my father little by little. Gained our trust, and one day w

-Break-Φ While eating the delicious breakfast they prepared for us in the inn. I look over at Orb, who has bandages on his body. Ever since this morning, he has been mumbling the same thing under his breath “I am going to crush you fox. I am going to crush you fox.” Without stopping.This is because, at some point, Orb snuck out of the inn last night and was attacked by a group of minus spirits. So Zashiki went to get help, but when she returned to the scene, all the minuses were dead, and Orb was left unconscious in a rather unfaltering position. When he woke up, Orb claimed he fell unconscious, but he later informed me that a person in a fox mask killed all the minuses and knocked him out.“O-O-O-ORB, why won’t you tell anyone what ac-c-c-tually happened? This fo-o-o-ox masked person might be dangerous.”“No way in hell, Cyrus; I don’t need anyone getting in the way of my revenge. I can barely look Zashiki in the eye with the state I was left in yesterday. So, I will find that pers

While I stare into her face while she is pinned to the ground, she suddenly turns her head to the side where our eyes can’t meet. While avoiding eye contact, she says, “Get off of me and give me back my mask, you utter pile of garbage.”“If you want to be so rude, you should say such things to my face or are you too shy for that.”“JUST GET OFF!” She screams as her tails try to attack me.I move away in time, grabbing her basket in one hand while having her mask in another. “That wasn’t nice.”She stands up with her back facing me and says, “You attacked me first.”“Only because you humiliated me for no reason. Do you know the looks I get while walking around the city?”“Don’t worry about that since your existence is embarrassing enough.”Annoyed I say, “As punishment for your big mouth, I will eat all the food in this basket right here, right now.”She jumps forward and tries to hit me due to my declaration. While she tries to hit me, she turns around, and I look directly into her fa
