When Khalid and Ron arrived at the village, they saw Lucy and she was searching for Faith and she was about to give up on that, then she saw Ron and went running toward him and asked while there were tears on her face “what happens, where is Faith, one moment I was with her the next she disappeared”
Ron wiped her tears and said “you do not need to worry about her she is a safe place and I am sure that she will get here in no time” when Lucy heard that a smile started to show on her face while she was wiping others tears on her face
“Really,” said Khalid “from your conversation with Ivan it looks like that, Faith and Nate were in danger”
“Is that true” asked Lucy and she was about to cry
“Like I said they are in a safe place you do not need to worry about them’ said Ron
“But he said that they were in danger”
Ron glared at Khalid then he looked back at Lucy and said “why are you listing to him, do you even know him, weren’t I the one that helped you before and took to Faith, you can trust me”
“Yeah I guess you are right,” said Lucy “like my brother said do not listen to people that you do not know”
“And you can trust me because we are friends right Lucy”
“Yeah I guess we are” after she said that she got better and she asked Ron to play with her, Ron said that he wanted to talk with Khalid about something important, at first Lucy didn’t like that it was like they were hiding something from her but when Ron promised her that he would do anything she wants she did not mind.
Ron and Khalid walked away from Lucy, Lucy wanted to go after them to see what is going on but then she thought that if she did this Ron might get angry and would not want to see her ever again so she thought it would be better to do what she said.
After getting enough distance for Lucy not to be able to listen to their conversation, Ron grabbed Khalid by his shirt and said “what is wrong with you, I am trying to calm her and you did what you said that the person that she was worried about is in danger, are you stupid or what”
Khalid said “I am not that good with this type of situation”
His answer made Ron angrier than before and he started to yell “what not good, do you count what you did not good, in what world you would think something like that”
“I know what I did is stupid, so can you at least let me go it is hard to breathe like this’ said Khalid while trying to get out of Ron’s grab.
“So you know that it was stupid,” said Ron then he let him go “so next time something like this happens you better not say anything”
Khalid just said “yes I understand that but you should know” then he stopped because Ron stared at him which scared him off
When they got back Lucy asked “what did you do”
Ron said with a smile “nothing at all we just talked for a bit about what we will do after we meet with Faith and Nate, so did something happen while we were away”
Lucy said “nothing at all” then she notices Khalid and how he looked so she went to Ron and whispered “what is wrong with him why he is acting like that”
“It is just he is reflecting on what the stupid thing that he said before, that why he is acting like this you do not need to even care about him,” said Ron
Lucy got sad for him so she went to him and said “you do not overthink about what happens we all do something stupid the most important thing that we learn from it”
“Yeah you are right,” said Khalid while looking at the ground
Ron said trying to change the subject “so I promise you to do anything you want so tell me what do you want”
Lucy stared at Ron for a couple of minutes then she said “I think I will wait until Faith come back then I will tell what I want” then she waited for some time then she asked “so can you tell when we will meet Faith and how she will know that we are here”
Khalid stopped looking at the ground and started to focus on what Ron going to say with a smirk on his face and Ron notices that, so he hit him without Lucy seeing that then he said to her “it is easy, and I will show you how can you just close your eyes for a bit”
Lucy did not understand as to why she has to do that but she did it anyway, after a few seconds she opened her eyes while looking surprised and said “how did you do that”
“This is one of my power I can talk to anyone that I know, I just need to focus and I would be able to make a connection,” said Ron
“But how would this help us with finding Faith if you are the only one that can talk”
“Easy let me show you, you need to close your eyes once again and trying to imagine sending me your thought”
After multiple failed tries Lucy was able to talk back to Ron with telepathy when Ron heard what she thought he looked at Khalid then said “wow I did not see that until you told me” and they both started to laugh
Khalid was getting irritated because he knows that they were making fun of him but after what he just saw he did not care at all what they said he cared about what happened and he wanted to try it too.
Ron was puzzled about something and Lucy notices that so she asked about it, Ron ignored her so she asked again and again until he sighed and said “for some reason, I just can’t find Nate at all no matter how hard I tried” Lucy got scared that something terrible might happen so she asked “so what does that mean, why you can’t find them” There were two reasons as to he can’t do that and both of them Ron did not want to tell Lucy, but then Khalid said ‘well maybe he is unconscious, maybe that the reason that you can’t find him” When Lucy heard that she looked at Ron with teary eyes and said “is what he said could be the reason why you can’t find them” Ron tried his hardest to calm himself then he said “even if he is unconscious does not mean that they are in danger” then he poked Khalid hoping that he would be able to say something not stupid, Khalid agreed with what Ron said Lucy was relieved after hearing what they said but she still has some
Nate started to move and Faith saw that she thought that something might happen to him so she went to him to check up on him, then suddenly Nate opened his eyes when he saw her he suddenly tried to stand instead he hit his head with hers. After his head stopped hurting he looked at Faith was about to say something but Faith did not let him speak instead she asked him “how did you find this place, this whole forest everything look alike so there is no way you did that on your own and how did you run away from that thing” “I was fast enough to outrun that thing,” said Nate “also the tree were able to help me a lot to hide from it, as how did I find my way back here when I managed to run away from that thing, I tried to remember where is this place but I did not pay any attention to where I walk, and I was about to fall down a cliff then I heard a voice tell me to stop” At first, Faith thought that he was lying but she did not think of any reason why he would do
Nate was a bit worried about Faith after the talk that he had with her, she wanted to get out of the forest that they were in as fast as possible, and Nate still remembers what the voice told him about the danger in the forest. So he wanted to make sure they were ready before they start moving again. “I get it, Faith you want to go to a safe place and make sure that Lucy is ok” said Nate “but before that, we should be careful before we do anything because we don’t what we will face out there” Faith crossed her arms and said “yeah I understand that, so what we need to do then” “You told me that you talked with Ron, I just want to hear the whole, please. I am sure that you told me the most important stuff but I just have the feeling there is something that is missing” One of the things that Ron told her no matter not to tell Nate was about Khalid and nothing else, so she tried to calm herself then start to tell Nate about what Ron told her when it was l
After Faith said that their body can get stronger like a character from a video game Nate was delighted by that and since there were levels and Hp that he figured out what type of game their body is from. And he loved that kind of game since he can get better at it the more time he spends on it. At first, when he saw his grandson Max play a game named Final Hero, a game about nobody named Shaun that had no skills or talent that went on a journey to prove himself, and after a long harsh journey, he saved the country that he came from. Max didn’t like the game that much he wanted another one but his parents bought this one by mistake so he plays it once and because the storyline was cringy and the graphics were bad he didn’t want to play it anymore but because that his grandfather watch it while he plays it he nag to play whenever he came to visit until Max taught how to play it. Nate thought it would be hard to learn how to play but Max told him it was s
After what they saw both Nate and Faith were sure if they kept going like before they would encounter something like the bear before and they wouldn’t be as lucky, so they decided it would be better for them to be careful while they walking. After walking for some time there were a lot of questions that Faith wanted to ask but didn’t know when she can have the chance to ask them, so just waited when they rest then she would ask. Nate started to get tired and from the look of it they are not even close to exit the forest, he turned to Faith to suggest that maybe they can rest then he saw that she was far away from him so he waited for her to catch up then he sat down then he suggested that they should rest for now. Faith took this chance to ask “can you tell me more about the menu and the things that in it, I didn’t understand anything from what Ron said to me” Faith regretted that she asks this question after she saw his reaction. Nate always wanted f
Nate started to explain to her if they going to be in a group of people then each one of them needs to know their role “there are different types of roles in the party like Support, DPS, tanks, and other things” he talked for while about this, then he notices that Faith looked confused. Nate said “ok this is my fault I should know that you won’t understand what I am talking about since you don’t play games” “This great I guess, so how will you explained for me to understand” Nate stood up and walked around while humming then he stopped and said “I get I think I should give example so you would get understand what I am talking about” he pointed at himself “well you see I can’t do much damage and I have a high defense and with my skills, I would be a tanker, a tanker would be someone that would be able to attract the enemies attention to him or her” “How did you figure that out,” Faith asked “I was with you the whole time? So when did you have the
Since Nate has some knowledge they both decided that it would be good that he would the leader until they got out of the forest. But they had a big problem since they didn’t have anything that would be useful to fight anyone, so Nate told Faith that they should avoid fighting as much as possible since there would be a high chance of injury. When Nate explained most of the spells to Faith they started to move again, there were not any problem or any monsters attack after this because they were more careful than before after the rabbit and the giant bear, they had with some bugs but they were not in danger because of them. When they were about to exit the forest suddenly Nate’s head started to hurt and it was worse than when they were searching for Lucy, Nate needed some time to adjust to what happened to him, Faith tried to help Nate by using one of her spells but she didn’t how to cast it neither did Nate. After multiple failed tries, Faith came with an idea
When Faith heard that she got scared from what will happen, then she thought a lot about it, she can’t do anything by herself and Nate can’t help her so the only logical thing to do is asked Ivan to help her and she would do like what he told her and not say anything to anyone no matter. “Great,” said Ivan after she agreed when Faith heard that she realized that maybe there is something that Ivan didn’t say but she didn’t give that much thought about because the only thing that she now cares about is getting out of the forest. “So how will you help me,” said Faith thinking he is still in the same place where she met him, Ivan told her that he will get to her as fast as possible so she does not need to worry about anything and just stand still in her place. After few seconds of him saying that bit by bit he started to appear in front of her at first she wanted to run away from the thing that was appearing in front of her but she was sure that she wouldn’t be a
