Chapter One: The Aftermath.
The next two weeks after Masi found out that Emily cheated her, Masi felt her heartbroken as she looked off, she barely talked, smile and laugh. On Friday night; Masi came to the saloon along with Kim, Abigail, and Leah.
Masi ordered a beer as she sat alone, she looked to see Emily came to serve her drink, Masi took it and took two sips of it, and she then looked at Emily with an empty and cold look and asked Emily why she cheated on her.
Emily answered that she loved Sandy and it happened when Masi was sleeping for more than two weeks. Masi looked at her and told her that was not excused before her and Emily exchanged harsh words before Masi cried and stood up, she paid for her unfinished beer and ran outside, her tears falling.
Masi leaned against the rail of the bridge that leads to the beach her tears was falling, she was not aware of the two saw her.
"Masi." A male voice called out.
"Are you ok, Masi?" a female voice asked.
Masi looked to see both Sam and Penny were there, she wiped her tears and smiled a weak smile "I am sorry I don't notice you, Sam and Penny." She said as she looked away more tears kept falling.
Sam and Penny exchanged look before they both hugged her to comfort her, Masi cried for a while before she calmed down "I am sorry I cried." Masi said as she sniffled.
"It's alright Masi," Penny said as she rubbed Masi's back and smiled gently.
Sam has an arm wrapped around Masi's shoulder "its ok Masi." He told her with a smile.
Both Penny and Sam asked her what made her sad, she told them what happened at the saloon, they both listen to her when they decided to walk her back home to Kim's farm.
Two days later after what happened in Saloon between Emily and Masi; things started to get much worse, people in town seemed to ignore her, she even noticed that Abigail, Leah, and Kim acting a bit off, she wondered what wrong.
Masi went to general store to buy few things for herself; she noticed that everyone looking at her in strange way, Masi wondered why, she sighed as she walked back to Kim's farm only to see Abigail and Leah looked angry and exchange harsh words with Masi accusing her that she cheated them with Sam, Masi tried to tell them she didn't do anything and Sam was nothing but a friend, she defended herself by telling them that she never cheat but they didn't believe her, they told her that they no longer want to be her lovers and left her both heading to their homes.
Masi sat down and started to cry again when she stood up and walked to the shade that she was using, she packed her things there inside the void chest and then put the void chest inside the void pocket that she created before she closed it. Masi went to the cabin and heading to her bedroom, she packed all her things, she ready to leave, she did cast a spell to remove any trace of her and even the room was used, she picked her pack bag, she wrote a note that she was leaving and going back to her home.
She got out of the cabin, she walked and headed to her mother's home ignored everyone; once she was at her mother's home, her mother hugged her and asked her if she was ready to go home, Masi nodded. Madeen locked the house and walked with Masi, she talked to the mayor and told him she will travel with Masi, the mayor nodded and watched them leaving.
It was nearly a year since Masi left, she never said goodbye to anyone; Kim was working on her farm as she noticed that work was easier with Masi helping. She sighed as she looked to see Abigail walking towards her.
"Hi, Abby," Kim said as she stood up after she checked on flowers.
"Hey, Kim." The purple haired smiled "how are you?" she asked.
"I am fine but busy as you see," Kim answered as she looked at Abigail.
"I will help you," Abigail said as she looked at Kim and smiled.
Kim shook her head and smiled "I am done." She told her "how was your job at guild?" she asked.
"Oh ok." Abigail said, "It was fine and I get promoted." She told her.
"Congrats Abby." The brown haired farmer smiled.
The purple haired adventurer smiled "thanks." She said as she beamed "where is Leah?" she asked.
"Leah is inside the house." Kim answered as she looked at her "why you…" before she was able to finish her question, Abigail pulled Kim close and kissed her.
Kim kissed back and pulled away, she blushed looking at Abigail who has a playful look "oh you." She pouted and looked at Abigail who giggled.
Later on; Kim was enjoying the rest of her day with her lovers; she watched tv with them, there was a knock against the door, Kim got up to answer the door, she opened to see Sam and Penny were outside the house, Kim smiled and let them in. Abigail and Leah looked to see Sam and Penny, they smiled and greeted them.
The five of them sat and chat then Masi's topic brought up much to displeased Abigail and Leah.
"Please, I don't want to hear anything word about her," Leah said as she tried to control herself.
Abigail looked angry "why you bring that cheater topic up, you all know what she did." She said.
"Abigail please listen, Masi has nothing to do with cheating," Sam said he looked at her.
"but you did kiss." Abigail said, "everyone in town knows that you two kissed at night outside the saloon." She added.
"WHAT?" Sam was shocked.
"You did kiss her Sam and she kissed you," Leah said as she looked at him.
"but….when?" Sam blinked "I never kiss Masi not now and not ever beside Masi was into girls as far as I remember her telling me that." He added.
"Stop defending her… someone did see you kissing her." Leah said as she looked the blonde spike, haired young man.
Penny was listening then she decided to talk at the right moment "Sam is telling the truth, Abigail." She said then she looked at the artist "the one who told you that Sam was kissing Masi and Masi kissed him back lied, I was there, Masi did cry before us." She said, "to correct it for you, we did hug Masi." She told the artist.
"What?" Abigail asked as she was shocked.
"You mean the whole thing about Masi and Sam kissing was just a rumor." Kim looked at the Sam and Penny who nodded.
"Yes, it was nothing but a rumor." Penny said, "one that hurt Masi so much." She added.
"It can be also the reason why Masi left that day without saying a word to anyone." Sam said as he looked at the three women "Penny, did you know who start the rumor?" he asked.
Penny shook her head "no." she said.
"Who told you about it, Penny?" Kim asked.
The teacher looked at the farmer "Maru told me about it." She answered.
"And who told Maru?" the artist asked.
The teacher looked at the artist "it was Alex." She said, "he told Maru when he was waiting for his turn at the clinic." She added.
The purple haired adventurer looked at her "damn I knew who could start it." She said as she looked at everyone "there are two who could do that." She added.
"Who?" Sam asked.
"It could be Haley." Abigail answered, "or Emily herself who started to the rumor." She added.
"It doesn't matter who did start the rumor." Leah said as she stood up "the rumor did hurt Masi and destroyed her reputation." She added.
Abigail nodded "yes." she said, " and it is time to fix that." She added.
Penny and Sam nodded, Kim smiled "then we have to clear it and tell the truth." she said.
The next day at the community meeting; Sam and Penny approached mayor Lewis and told him, they have something to tell everyone and everyone has to be present to listen to it.
Mayor Lewis nodded "ok I will get everyone attention." He told Sam and Penny with a smile, he looked at everyone "everyone attention please." He said and as soon as he got everyone attention, he cleared his throat "everyone listens… Sam and Penny have something to say to all of you." He said then he turned and looked at the Sam and Penny, he nodded to them.

It was an early morning first day of winter; everyone was sleeping in their homes, they didn't notice nor aware that Masi finally came back, however, she was living inside her mother's home instead of going to the farm where she used to live.
Masi also came with a blue-grey horse with white mane and tail named Starlight and a dog named Bolt. Masi put the horse in the stable that next to her mother's house when she went back inside after she made sure her horse hay fey to eat and warm.

Masi smiled and let finished unpacking and tidying her things then she went to the kitchen and started to go through the shopping bag and store vegetables and fruits in the fridge, several frozen food items are inside the freezer but a frozen vegetable pizza was still out, the rest were put away in cupboards.
Finally, Masi did all the work to settle in, she then took shower when she has done, she went to the kitchen and heated the pizza to have it for her dinner.
Masi fed her dog before she sat down and ate her own dinner when she has done, she cast a spell to clear everything, Masi then looked at her dog Bolt "from tomorrow I will have you sleep outside inside your dog house Bolt." She said.
Bolt barked before he laid down, Masi smiled "night Bolt." With that, she went to her bedroom and fallen asleep in a matter of moment after she lay down on the bed.
The Next morning; the town got busy again with people moving around and about as they were going their ways. Everyone saw her, they were stunned as they saw a familiar face riding on a blue-grey horse that has blue eyes, a white mane, and tail.
They were shocked to see Masi was back to town but she looked different, her hair was a bit longer than before even she has changed her hairstyle, she looked emotionless but she kept looking straight ahead, she stopped at general store, she looked at her horse and gently patted side of the neck before she went inside the general store.
"She is back," Jodi whispered to Caroline.
Caroline nodded "she is… but she does look back." She said, "I guess Abigail will be happy that she is back." She added.
"I don't think so; you saw that look she has," Jodi said as she looked at Caroline.
Masi came out as she took the shopping back, she then put them on bag on saddle then she got on her horseback and ride back to her home.
Masi put what she brought into cupboard then she looked at the clock "still early to get to the adventurers guild." She said as she picked up a book to read while she waited.
Masi arrived at the building of adventurers guild, she walked in, she greeted the guild master and talked to him that she wanted to join the guild, the guild master tested Masi's abilities in a fight and he was impressive of her abilities and skills.
The guild master got the papers she needed to fill, he handed them over to her and told her to fill them, Masi took them and started to fill them.
It took Masi several hours for her to finish filling all the papers, then she handed the papers back to the guild master who took them, he told Masi that it will take several days till she got her adventurer license as well a rate and rank. Masi nodded as she listened to what she needed to know before she left and headed back home.
