Chapter 22: Patch Village

After a few minutes of travelling using the Spirit of Fire.

Everyone landed in front of an old town. After they passed the Red River, they have to find the red desert to find the black dustcloud.

Hao: We have to sleep here for the night. The Black Dustcloud will arrive at night and we can see the Patch Village in the next day.

Everyone agreed. That was the only way how to reach Patch Village.

Ren and Horo brought tree logs (dunno where that came from...). Hao started the fire like what he always does. Yoh was amused for a second.

Horo: Hao, lets see what is stronger. Fire or ice, eh?

Ren: Don't you see Ainu boy! He's tired!

Hao: I don't want to fight today. I'm fed up... (Praise The Bible!)

It was night time already... Everyone were going to sleep...

The night fell... Hao was watching the stars, so is everyone else... The stars, fortunately, were always there at the night. All of them can't sleep becuase of what is in store for them. Except for Goldva, Yoh-mei, and Kino-sama. They were sleeping soundly. Hao was laying down on the black sand... He wanted this to last. He doesn't want to end this life yet. He didn't want to lose everyone. Most importantly, he didn't want to lose Yoh, no matter what. After a few minutes, everyone slept for the next day, the day of judgement.

in the next day----

Hao opened his eyes, the Sun has risen. It was a new day. The day of the match. The day of judgement. The day for Hao and Yoh's lives.

Everyone soon woke up. In front of them was the Patch Village. Now, the only thing they have to find is the blue cave.

All of them went to the ruins, then they found the lake which Yoh and his friends went through.

Yoh: Oh, yeah... There was another cave before. Like what Anna and Manta said.

After a few minutes of going through the blue cave and not the the blue lake.

The blessing from the Great Spirits wasn't reallt neccessary now. Its because, Hao and Yoh, were running out of time till the match. It was 12:00 in the afternoon when they arrived. They only had 2 hours left till the fight will begin.

They immediately went to the Land of the Stars...
