Chapter 4: Leaving and Meeting

Again with this kind of waking up… I unconsciously eavesdropped on a bunch of people talking. "He saved us, I can't believe it!""Me neither…." Another one said. "Quiet, he needs rest right now," a familiar person said or at least I think he is. (Currently in a subconscious state of mind)

"Ooouhhhh!"Remembering the bloody scene of the slain sandworms, Sky recalled as he woke up. I woke up staring at Alice in the face actually trying to check my temperature. My eyes opened suddenly which scared Alice pretty badly. "Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!" Alice scream as she toppled over the bed and fell on the ground crab legged. "Ah, sorry for scaring you I just woke up,""Oh, it's ok, It was mainly my fault anyways," (of course I can't say I was looking at your face the whole time can I?) Alice thought while she blushed in front of Sky.

"Anyways, I can't stay here any longer, Alice." "Why, why not?" "The monsters seems to have been lured here by the blade, that was obvious after I tried to use it to taunt the monsters." "But….." Alice murmured. "The villagers don't really like me anyways except for you, I might as well get out, plus Devin would want me gone anyways." I replied before Alice could persuade me with those eyes…"Oh and don't worry I will be back someday, but even though the villagers don't like me, I still like the way how this village is so peaceful and …so warm." I got up from the bed and told Alice to not tell anyone I was leaving, but for some reason, as soon as I walked out the tent….Everyone came to greet me… I honestly felt really welcomed and really want to stay but that gave me all the reason for me to leave.

"Alice told me, you were leaving," a little chubby kid shouted out and the other kids started to whine about it too. (The chubby kid is Mensley, a kid that was saved by Sky when he and a bunch of kids went to play near the border of the village but was almost killed by a Thana Scorpion. After that he seems to look up to Sky since he crushed it with admiration.) "Yea…" I replied softly. "Don't go, please…" The kids shouted. Then suddenly the person I would least expect to have me stay said, "Brat, you can stay if you want, I gotta admit the bravery you shown at that raid was admirable!"I turned to see Devin standing there and gracefully smoking a cigar.

"I don't "live" in the same world as you guys do; I have a goal that I don't want any of you to suffer because you all knew me!" I said slowly so everyone could hear. Devin seems to have caught on and walked away, which to me was him telling me to do whatever. Alice stood there crying along with the kids. The adults then all asked me to stay but the answer was still no.

"Well then please take these since you are leaving," Devin came back with a sachet full of gold coins. "Uhhh, I don't really need them but if you have to give them to me, I will take it." I replied. "All I really need is another blade.""I see so that blade didn't draw for you either," Devin analyzed. "No, I did drew it out, it was just it took control of me, I don't want to use it right now, I feel as if I don't have the power to completely wield it yet, so I want to request another blade." "Ok," Devin went back into his tent to bring out a blade, bright red with a long scabbard. He shoved it in my hands and left once more…

The villagers were nice enough to give Sky a storage ring(storage rings are magical rings that can store items in it) along with a year's worth of water and food. The villagers even gave Sky a horse to travel by. Sky was very thankful to them and vowed to thank them back in the future… Of course that's that the climax to Sky leaving the sand tribe.

"LEAVE AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!" Alice screamed at Sky before shutting herself in her own tent. Sky put on a wry smile; of course he knew Alice didn't mean that, it was just her anger at Sky leaving. Then again our main character still hasn't figured out Alice's feelings towards him, what a "moron!"

Sky waved good bye to the villagers and he realized he has grown attached to the sand tribe, before he realized he was …. Shedding tears….

From a distance Sky could still see the tribe people wave at him but Sky pushed on trying very hard to ignore them or else Sky would turned the horse around and returned saying, "I was just kidding!" Alice would have been very delighted that way but in reality that wasn't what that happened as much as Sky wanted that to happen, but he has a goal, his vengeance against the Flias Emperor, Caesar V. Flias. "Here I come, Caesar, you better clean your neck and wait for me!" Sky shouted towards the endless desert sands. (The main character completely forgot about Auroa, yes)

Ever since Sky left, Alice has been very down; if her dad didn't constantly remind her to eat she would have starved to death. This went on for 3 months before her feelings towards Sky has thinned a bit after all she did like Sky but he didn't know. She would constantly ask herself what would happen if she did tell Sky that she liked him, would that have changed the ending?

3 months have passed….

Sky has been wondering in the endless sands without seeing any oasis or any settlement. He trotted his horse while he bit onto some dried meat along with some water. The desert is burning him and vultures swooning around him in the skies waiting for his death. "Stupid birds, looks like you will have to wait another 7 months before you can have my flesh, but I'm pretty sure it will be me that will be eating you birds!"Sky joked around trying to keep himself invigorated and not die of boredom instead.

Sky has rode the horse another 3 days before he hit an oasis, he was relieved to be able to take a bath since, even for a male you have to stay clean and especially when you have not taken on since 3 months. Obviously Sky does not know there is company in the water.

"WHO ARE YOU!" A voice that obviously came from a girl alarmed the oasis.
