Nowe was carrying Patch back to the valley, as Nowe was trying to come up with a random yet believable story of why he was there and all of that. But he laid Patch down on the ground for a quick moment where no one could see them, and Nowe cast Cura on Patch, to heal his wounds. Nowe ran out of elixir and he needed to get a refill of them soon. But Cura was a basic spell that didn't take too much mana. Patch began to wake up, and as he opens his eyes he sees Nowe in his Domehead form. Patch rubbed his head, and tried to remember what was going on. Then it hit him, all of the recent events came back to him. Patch looked at Nowe for a moment and tried to avoid looking at him.

" Nowe thanks for carrying me back but I'm going to be ok" said Patch, he didn't want anymore help from a stranger. It wasn't that he didn't like Nowe it was just that Nowe has saved his life, and protected the valley, he didn't want to trouble him anymore. That was what Patch said to himself to make him feel better but deep inside he just hated to accept help from people, even Littlefoot. He didn't like having the feeling of being weak.

As Patch took a step, he felt weak as he was about to fall to the ground but Nowe catch him just in time. Patch just pushed him away, because he didn't want his help. " Will you stop being so stubborn and let he just help you" said Nowe.

" I told you I was fine ok, so will you just leave me alone, I don't need your help" said Patch.

" I hear what you're saying but you're not, you could barely stand up as it is. You don't have the energy for it, now let me just help you ok. We both know you want to see the other but at the rate you're going at you're going to just burn your energy and just pass out again. So just stop being stubborn and accept help" said Nowe. Nowe gave him a glare, but Patch just won't budge he just tried to keep walk, but the same thing happened again, he used the walls to hold himself up.

Nowe picked him up again, and Patch kicked and screamed, " Will you listen I told you I don't want your help now put me down". Patch began kick and scream again and again every time he tried to help.

Nowe was getting mad and wasn't going to put up with it anymore. " FINE IF YOU WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF THEN FINE!" screamed Nowe as he walked away. Nowe didn't look back as Patch saw him leave.

Patch began walking again, but he kept using to wall to hold him up. But as he couldn't hold himself up anymore he collapsed on the ground. " Legs come on, just work" yelled Patch as he kept hitting his legs to work. He didn't want to admit it but he actually wish he told his help. He hated to feel so weak, he hated it because he just wanted to be strong so he could protect the people he cared about. In that moment Patch started to cry, he hated this feeling, he felt like he was left behind again. Patch leaned against the wall, but he couldn't get up, and he did need help. He closed his eyes and laid there.

" So you ready to accept help now" asked Nowe as he put his hands out. Nowe never really left he just hid because there was no way he could leave him behind. Nowe did care, as he said Patch wipe his eyes, as he accepted help. Nowe picked Patch up in his arms again as he said " Hey you might as well get some rest because it might be a long walk. Nowe knew of one way to get into the valley without using his powers, and that was the way passing herds used to enter the valley. Nowe had to walk all the way there even tho it was going to take sometime. He saw Patch nod as he leaned his head on Nowe's chest as he tried to get some rest. Patch still hated accepting help but it did feel nice, leaning on someone for once. Patch began to doze off, as he just fell asleep.

Nowe would never say it, but he think Patch is kind a cute when he sleeps, he just looks so innocent. Nowe had a long way to walk, and Nowe remembered the entrance when him and the others had to walk back to the Great Valley, and was a long walk. It was a pain but it was fun because mostly every day he was play with Littlefoot and the others. Nowe was just wondering how Littlefoot is, he worried sometimes about him but Nowe knew he was ok. Nowe couldn't uses any magic just incase he didn't want to get caught using it because he was supposed to be an average domehead without any power or else things would get weird. But now that he thought about it Patch has power so maybe he could come up with some lie about him saving Patch or something. Still Nowe better come up with something soon, because if he doesn't he might be in a lot of trouble.

( 2 hours later )

Nowe was still walking to the entrance of the valley, and it was a really long walk especially carrying someone the entire way. Nowe was really close to the entrance, and then suddenly Patch started to wake up. Nowe stopped and set Patch down as he slowly opened his eyes.

" Good morning Patch" said Nowe smiling. Patch looked around and saw the entrance of the valley. " How long was I out for" asked Patch.

" Well let's see about 2 hours, and you snore in your sleep did you know that" said Nowe. Nowe began to laugh a little because right after he said that, Patch's cheeks turned a little red.

" I DO NOT SNORE IN MY SLEEP!" screamed Patch.

" Well maybe you haven't notice because you're asleep and two it's more of a small cute snore that kids have" said Nowe. Patch was even more embarrassed especially when Nowe used the term cute. Nowe laughed a little more but he had to stop because he was making Patch feel a bit uncomfortable.

After Nowe stopped laughing, Nowe told Patch about his plan about staying hidden for the time being. Patch was ok with helping come up with a story but he felt a little bad for lying to everyone. So they both tried to come up with some stories to say, and they finally both decide on one. They agreed to tell them Nowe was a domehead with special powers just like Patch, and he only come here because he was trying to track down Sharptooth. So then that's how they met. It wasn't so much of a lie because most of it was the truth, and it made Patch feel a bit better about lying to the other.

" Hey Patch can I ask, how old are you" asked Nowe.

" Umm I'm about 10 I believe so what about you" asked Patch. Nowe was wondering why he had to think about how old he was but then Nowe remember that birthdays are known as star day, and they know their birthday by a special star.

" Well I'm about to turn 15 actually my birth.. I mean star day is coming up" said Nowe. Nowe's birthday was June 21, and a lot of time as actually pasted. He spend a lot of time in Warfang helping rebuild the city, and the long walk back to the valley. Mainly Nowe couldn't believe that he is almost 15, and today is June 19 and two more days will be his birthday.

" Really how close is your star day uhh Nowe" asked Patch

" Well my ummm star day is actually in two days" replied Nowe. Nowe can't believe that Patch was only 10 years old, and he has this must skill especially one with no training. Patch looked really excited when he told him that his birthday was in two days. " Well then we have to celebrate then, but Nowe why don't you look excited as I am, I love my star day" said Patch.

" Well I don't really like my star day, it's just something personal" said Nowe. On his 5th birthday was the attack on his world. His birthday was also the anniversary of the death of his mother and the destruction of his home. Nowe still remembered when he got to the castle, he use to have big birthday parties. They were nice but still, when all the partying is over he could go back to his room, and just lay down. When he was young he use to cry about his birthday but not anymore. It was a long time ago. Still he just wished his mother was able to see him now, trying to follow in her footsteps.

Patch notice how sad Nowe looked after he mentioned his Star day. " Sorry Nowe I didn't mean to make you sad but I just love my star day because that was the day Littlefoot and Mom found me. They took me in when I was alone and they gave me a family" said Patch.

Nowe just realized after hearing what Patch just said that means Littlefoot and Patch are brothers. " Wow I don't blame you for loving your star day, and it's fine it just bring up memories from my past when my star day comes around".

A lot of time as past when they sat outside the valley, and they both didn't realize it but about half an hour later they finally got back into the valley. When they did Littlefoot and everyone else from the valley ran up to them. They were all so worried about Patch, and thought he was really hurt or worse. Littlefoot was so happy to see his little brother and cried a little, but things were ok now. Patch explained everything, and he told everyone about the story Patch and Nowe came up with. They were all in awe to see another Domehead with powers just like Patch. Nowe summoned his keyblade, to show them, and casted magic to prove to them. But luckily everyone believed their little story, but Littlefoot knew it was a lie, but if Patch said it then he was going to trust his brother.

But everyone in the valley was ok with Nowe staying in the valley when Patch explain that he was here to help, and protect the valley from Sharptooth. Then everyone was on board and that's how everyone saw Nowe as some hero for saving Patch, and that he is hunting Sharptooth. Patch had some crazy details to the story but it all worked out, and now he could stay here and wait until Sharptooth tries to make another move. Still the only thing on his mind was his star day. He was going to have to deal with another year without his mother.
