Φ We have been travelling from Basileia with everyone in carts attached to Willow by rope. Each Cart is connected in a straight line to another one, so there are two long lines of carts with people in them behind Willow the 2nd.When we got far enough from Basileia, we stopped to reunite everyone with their families. Even Quant got to see his daughter again. I have left him to talk to her without bothering them, but his punishment is still up to me.Still, we had to decide soon what to do with some of the hostages. They were highly loyal to Morgan, and unlike all those prisoners in the mine, most of them were still kids, so we could one day undo it.During that time, I was able to introduce Maple to Cyrus properly. Though they also had people to introduce me to a beautiful but very physical woman named Atalanta, and a decrypt man named Sparrow, who was the leader of the people who captured us.When some of the men from our village saw him, they punched him right in the face, but Orb s
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-When we all woke up the morning after the party, I decided to call people together to discuss a few things. The people in question are the leaders of the village and a few others.“Ok everyone, first things first, I would like to apologise for everything. Even though we are all back together, I would still like to apologise for all the chaos my presence has caused.”“Orb, I told you to stop apologising,” Oren says“I know that, but the more I think about it, the more I feel this needs to be said. Still, this is the last time I will apologize for this matter. From this point on, I want to move forward and press through all our challenges.”Maple says, “I also want to talk with you all. I know since this year began, all our lives have been completely hectic with almost no time to sit and digest all we have lost, but with all the things that are changing I want you to know at least one thing, until we can get fully back on our feet, I will be taking my houses role as village chie
-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
Two hours later“Where finally here, so Sparrow you can stop puking.”In response to what I say, he continues puking. He has thrown up so much over these last two hours that a hole must have burnt through his oesophagus. Though the vomit has gradually decreased over time, his stomach is running out of ammunition. But regardless, “Let’s get going to Deno,” I say to Cyrus as we begin to walk forward.When we enter, we see an incredibly bustling city which has the highest amount of people I have ever seen. No matter where I look; there is someone doing something different than all the rest. Unable to control myself at the site of this all, I run up and start speaking to random people.“How are you today.”“I didn’t know it was possible to have a stomach this big.”“What a cute child.”“What is this vegetable? I haven’t ever seen anything like this.”“Is that a ship I see over there.”“That Building in the distance is like nine Willow the 2nd tall.”This is Deno, the port city. I am compl
-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-I was looking at the vast blue sea in front of me, entirely memorised. I read that the ocean was enormous, but I never expected this. It is so large that it makes Fimbulwinter look small in comparison. I am in love with this sight, but the part that makes it all better is the suffering of Sparrow beside me.As Sparrow vomits from seasickness, “You feel that Sparrow, that’s justice I hope you enjoy it.”“I already apologised, so please get me some water.”“No, I will still punish you for all the other people you have robbed without my knowledge.”So as Sparrow continues to vomit, Cyrus comes from inside the ship. When I see him, I say, “You changed back to the clothes Pine gave you. I liked the outfit the church gave you.”“I did, too, but-u-u-ut it stood out too much. I felt embarrassed.”“You shouldn’t. You looked amazing.” Suddenly as I said this, a swarm of giant butterflies came flying in our direction. What a pretty sight, I think to myself. But mere seconds after I do th
-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
