Internet was down for a long time so that's why I wasn't able to update and man it was TORTURE! Anyway, here's the next chapter.

It was decided that he would leave tomorrow morning Ridley didn't want him going now.

Gabocha was about to leave, however Ridley stopped him and whispered something.

"He shall come soon, make sure not to travel far" Ridley whispered, barely audible

"Excuse me?" Gabocha asked confused, but before he could say anything, Ridley walked away. Gabocha left out the door

"He shall come soon, who?" Gabocha thought. The rain had stopped and it had become late, he headed for home, after a couple minutes, he arrived.

A faint light was on however, all else was dark. Gabocha walked further in and saw Gengen asleep on the table, he must have been waiting all night for Gabocha's return.

Gabocha lightly shook Gengen, and Gengen's eyes quickly shot open, he smiled when he saw who was there.

"Ga-Gabocha, you're back" Gengen said, with tiredness in his voice. "Yeah" Gabocha said lightly. "So, you're leaving tomorrow?" Gengen asked, Gabocha could hear the sadness in his voice.

Gengen didn't want him leaving.

"Yeah" Gabocha said again lightly. "Well, good night then" Gengen said as he walked over to his room and shut the door.

"I'm sorry Gengen" Gabocha thought.

He went to bed soon after.

He got up and got ready to leave, he opened the door, and what he saw outside baffled him beyond belief.

It was Snow.

"Shocked? So am I, so am I" a voice said. Gabocha turned around, it was Gengen.

Gabocha took a step outside, he was about to leave, however Gengen stopped him and hugged him from behind, wrapping his arms around him.

"Come back soon, okay?" Gengen whispered "I will" Gabocha responded.

Gengen let go and Gabocha started walking, Gengen looked at his little brother walking away, and a tear streaked down his face.

Gabocha had walked until he got to the entrance to the Kobold District of Two River, Boris was waiting

Boris looked concerned "Make sure not to get hurt, or drink any funny water or-" Gabocha cut him off before he could finish "Boris relax, I'll be fine"

As soon as Gabocha attempted to walk past Boris, Boris stopped him, wrapped one of his arms around him and thrust him forward into a hug, Boris took his other hand and put it on Gabocha's head.

"I remember this… back when I was young and afraid, at night during thunderstorms, you would hold me like this and stay with me even when I fell asleep" Gabocha thought, reminiscing with his past.

"Boris, thank you" Gabocha said, still locked in the embrace, Boris chuckled "You'll always be my favorite little pup y'know" Boris said. Gabocha looked up at him and gave him a toothy grin.

"If things prove to be too rough come home okay?" Boris said, Gabocha thought for a moment. "I can't give you any promises" Gabocha said with confidence in his voice, they both started to laugh. Boris finally let go.

"Good Bye Gabocha" Boris said, stepping aside, Gabocha waved at him and started off.

So here he was, starting his own adventure, where to go, what to do, he didn't know, he supposed he'd just have to find something, or maybe something would call to him.

All he knew is that he could help in some way or in some situation, he wanted to be a hero, he wanted to do this.

It continued to snow, he was stepping on it again and again, and after awhile, he forgot where he was.

He'd left Two River awhile ago, but he'd forgotten where he was, then he realized something.

How exactly was he going to be a hero?

Was he going to fight some strange tyrant or fight some evil beast?

He then decided on something.

"Destiny and fate can decide my path, I just have to keep moving forward, and I'll find something" Gabocha thought to himself, confidently

He quickly noticed something, the snow started to get deeper.

He ignored it, for he thought the snow would stop, however it got more powerful, almost..

Almost like a blizzard, and then it turned into one.

Gabocha could barely see anything, wind forcefully blew him back again and again, but he pressed forward.

Finally the blizzard got worse to the point, where he couldn't see anything at all, he started to walk slower and slower, his blood felt like it was turning into ice.

His sight was dimming slowly, it felt like his heart was beating fast.

He started to get cold, and colder, and then as cold as he'd ever been

He collapsed on the ground unable to move, he tried to stay awake.

It couldn't end here it just couldn't he'd just started his adventure and it would be cut short by this stupid ice storm?

He couldn't take it anymore, he blacked out.

Little did he know, he wasn't far away from someone who lived close-by, he'd seen Gabocha, he picked up Gabocha and walked toward where he'd lived, and closed the door behind him.

The next chapter will be VERY long, I promise you that. I'm glad I finally got this done. Alright see ya next time!
