Chapter 7- The Perfectionist

I believe I owe everyone an apology. I am sorry I am not updating as much as I promised, but school is getting a bit rough, but I will try to update always ASAP. Sorry if chapters seemed rushed and/or short. Thanks for your understanding and support.

(Rollan's POV)

Rollan was drowsy the whole day in his cabin on the Tellun's Pride II, and it wasn't just because of the boat ride. He had told Tarik the truth about him being from a different universe, and how he died in his universe too… Tarik looked like he was dealing with it well… but then again he didn't know. Maybe this universe Tarik was probably a crying mess! But to think of it… what was this universe Tarik like? Tarik seemed just like the Tarik in his universe, sure it was nice, but it was weird… In this universe people were the opposite of what they were, so who was Tarik?

"We will be getting to Nilo soon," Tarik said walking behind him

"Good," Rollan replied, "It's time to get off this ship!"

"Once we land, we will be heading to Okaihee, Nilo," Tarik said, "I need to take care of some things, I will be back soon,"

"Ok," Rollan said. Okaihee? Why did that sound so familiar? Oh! That's right! That's where Abeke's tribe is! Hopefully Abeke will help, but then again, Rollan wasn't so sure, with the last two visits, and the way they went… but he couldn't lose hope.

Later that day….

(Abeke's POV)

"No! Over here! Have you never organized a hut before! Oh well, of course you haven't! You've been hunting all week! Ugh, you better wash off before the Hero of Erdas comes! The messenger said their boat just arrived, and they are coming any minute! Soama? Are you even listening to me?" Abeke commanded. Abeke was stressed, did she any right not to be? The Hero of Erdas was coming and nothing was ready! Everything had to be perfect. Everything. She couldn't even think about what her father would say if he saw this. Soama always went hunting, and never helped out, no wonder her father never liked her as much as Abeke.

"Well it doesn't help if you are just shouting commands at me! Maybe you should come over here and help me for once!" Soama spat back

"Oh yeah, just like I will help you go and hunt for our dinner? Yeah right. Soama sometimes I wish you would be a good older sister and actually help." Abeke countered

"I do help! I get dinner!" Soama shouted

"No, you don't. Hunting is a man's job, not ours, now come on, you are wasting time! Everything has to be perfect!" Abeke said

Abeke was just about to say something to Soama, before their messenger, Irtike, walked into the hut.

"The Hero of Erdas is here," Irtike said

"Thank you," Abeke said politely, "Tell him to come in please,"

"Of course," Irtike replied, walking out of the hut. Abeke struck a look at her sister. Don't mess this up.

Irtike returned with two boys. They both looked Amayan. Only one was a lot taller than the other. Both had brown hair, brown eyes. The basic features are basically the same, but they are different looking to be related.

"Hello, I am Abeke of Okaihee," Abeke said holding her hand out to the shorter of the two Amayan boys.

"Rollan," the boy said back

"And I am Tarik," the taller boy said, "I am his protector, because every hero needs to be protected or course,"

"Good to see you Rollan, Tarik, come please, sit down, I would love to hear about your journeys." Abeke said, motioning Soama to leave

"I would love too, but I need to take care of something," Tarik said, walking out of the hut, leaving just her and Rollan alone.

(Rollan's POV)

This was it. His last chance. If he didn't get this right, how was he supposed to get home?

"Listen Abeke," Rollan said, leaning in closer, "I know you would love to hear about my travels and other things like that, but I need to tell you something very important," So then, Rollan explained to Abeke everything about the candle, universes, needing to get home, everything.

Abeke looked at him with disgust. "Are you kidding me? Every single foreigner I have met in the past week has said something incredibly crazy just like that! Like that last foreigner who visited me! Said he wanted to meet me and become by boyfriend just like that!? Saying he came here using a candle!? Everyone is insane! Oh and what was his name? Ugh, I can't even remember it, he was just too stupid. Oh no! I remember now! It was Shane!"

Now Rollan for once was looking at her in astonishment, "Wait? Shane was here? And that he used a candle to get here?"

"Yes! Excatly! You people are just plain weird!" Abeke exclaimed, "When you have something sane to tell me, come back! Otherwise, leave!"

"As you wish," Rollan said, leaving the hut. Sure, Abeke may have been a distaster, but he had another thing coming for him. Shane was here, and he used a candle too. And as much as he didn't want too, he knew what he had to do. New mission: Find Shane, then get back home.
