The next day, the south and the city of Buelion, since the day before when Lucas decided not to run away from anyone, from his friends, the whole city has changed a lot, Lucas using his powers of speed and great strength with zeal, practically in twenty hours changed Buelion beyond recognition, it what yesterday was the ruins of the city, today one third has already been rebuilt, new houses and buildings stand as before, wooden huts and brick houses were erected again, and once fleeing people could again live in their newly rebuilt houses, through the city and the surrounding areas there were constant flashes and streaks that meant only one thing, Lucas was racing through the city rebuilding what the Empress and her fighting forces had once destroyed.
Thus, house after house was rebuilt in less than five minutes and the new raw material was also transported by human hands, from twenty large stumps transported over the river for quick processing, also by the newcomer's hand, for burnt bricks and prepared mortar, everything went in a truly geometrical hurry, each time it's more and more and the inhabitants, especially the workers, could only look with delight at the changing city, also believing that someone with such great powers today and forever will protect them against the terrible Empress and her fortress which, according to the scouts, has not moved from yesterday which, of course, was not entirely true.
This is how another day passed, people went about their duties and Lucas willingly rebuilt the city, currently dealing with the reconstruction of the western walls and erecting the great tower, that day three friends were returning from the river side looking at the current changes that their eyes had never seen, both Namaari walking between Raya and Lana Wina stared in awe at the sight of the tower being rebuilt.
- what he does is amazing, look. Namaari said pointing to the faith being rebuilt piece by piece.
- it's just amazing. Said a blonde princess in a green dress.
- Lana amazing?. that's an understatement, ha, and to think I used to think the newcomer was pure evil, but now, how stupid I was. Said Raya, adjusting her conical hat, also looking with great fascination at the image of the rebuilt tower before her eyes.
- many were wrong about him, many of us, most of all I should never have, because it wasn't his fault that he got into our world, now we all see what the truth is. Namaari said with a slight sense of guilt.
- Namaari remember, each of us made a mistake and he didn't take it personally, on the contrary, maybe he is a madman but he showed and shows us that he is also someone special, he helped us, you, Flamus and Amba, defended them from the Golden Dragon, and tere please. Said Raya, pointing to a pair of opposing dragons, the red fire dragon Flamus, and the violet blue dragon lady Amba, a pair of lucky dragons feuding together ran into the furnace.
- faster Flamus, our friends are pounding new bricks, fires need to be lit. Amba said as she brushed against the red dragon as they raced to the furnace together, their joy evident in every word and look they gave each other.
- I'm getting down to it, but then I hope our friend will give us some time for us. Flamus said handing two symbolic hyacinths to the dragoness.
- how sweet. Said Lana Wina staring at the two dragons kissing.
- maybe a little too much, but it's nice to see that they were found and the Golden Dragon left them, besides, I was ready to fight him myself. Namaari said.
- me too. Said Raya with an expression of determination and anger in words directed only at the Golden Dragon.
- Caution. Lana Wina said as suddenly the three friends whirled around for a moment by the gust of wind and the passing newcomer.
- gosh what a guy, eh if he could see me, my father would give us his blessing today. Lana Wina said dreamily, looking back.
- yes, there is something unusual about him, and as far as I know, he is free. Namaari said winking at her friend holding a conical hat in her hands.
- yes, he himself talked about it, he said that in his world his heart never chose, he has this something in him, but in my type it is not. Said Raya, putting her hat on her head, covering her black hair and her face a little from her vigilant friend.
- not your type?, Raya and who's your type, let me guess, that hat, Lao Bin?. Namaari asked, looking together with Lana Wina as suddenly Raya, accelerating her pace, starts to run away from them, returning to the city.
- hey Raya wait are you. asked Lana Wina.
- crazy people, don't you understand it's just friendship, besides he promised my father that he would protect me, samurai oath, you know how it works. Raya said.
- you know, he swears by oath, but there's another reason for all this, besides, I see that you like him, and he likes you too, I guess. Namaari said.
- he also mentioned something about it, this!, I mean, we'd better go. Raya said as she suddenly bit her tongue.
The sudden statement and pause immediately drew the attention of both the golden-haired princess and the black-haired fierce warrior who quickly decided to get to their friend and question her about everything, while Raya tried to escape their giggles and fierce questions as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Lao Bin was sitting on one of the remaining towers, leaning against the battlements and staring at the view below, the samurai in brown lamellar armor was looking down the city not at the current changes, but at one single view, seeing and hearing a few giggles, all the greater when Lucas sped through the city.
- and what they see in him. Lao Bin said to himself as he adjusted his ponytail of black hair.
- Exactly, that's how I see it too. Suddenly spoke a blue dragon lady who stood next to the samurai watching the city below and many ladies who even devoured the rushing newcomer with their eyes.
- Sisu?, that, well, I do not understand what all these girls see in Lucas, what he has that makes such a great impression.
- Lao, see for yourself, he has a lot, great strength, speed, powers, it's a noble feature, I heard how Shan-Ka-Ran would be glad if Lucas became involved with his daughter, you know, having such a son-in-law with such powers is really something. Said Sisu with a slight grimace and a quivering white blue purple mane.
- they all see the power in him. Lao Bin said angrily looking now at the one spot where Raya was running through Namaari and Lana Win.
- not only. Said Sisu when her eyes saw the visitor from another world stopping for a moment.
- I mean, what's so interesting about him?.
- see for yourself, apart from his powers, he is also an extraordinary man, despite the fact that he is tough and brave, he is also delicate and tender, he is a bit like a small child, innocent, he has an extraordinary soul, he is ready to give his life for everyone, he has his own extraordinary philosophy he fought against the lack of choices and gave us freedom and today he is an everyday friend who wants nothing but friendship and that's the most beautiful thing, oh Lucas. Said Sisu, leaning against the battlement and resting her head on her paws.
- hey Sisu don't you make cute eyes at him. Lao Bin asked, trying to look into the violet eyes of the dragon lady who quickly escaped in her full seriousness.
- No, I'm just saying.
- that's good, because you know I noticed how Lana Wina, Namaari and even Raya look at him in a similar way. Lao Bin said.
- you know, I'm not surprised, Lana Wina is the chief's daughter, she certainly has her dad's permission and besides, Lucas has done a lot for them too, Namaari is not surprised either, he taught her to fight and psychological approach so you know, but wait, what!. Sisu asked when she suddenly understood the last words of the samurai and her mane stood on end.
- what did you say!. Sisu screamed.
- what I see myself, our friend sometimes even undresses our friend from another world with her eyes.
- It's not impossible, I thought. Said Sisu clutching her head not wanting to even think that maybe one day she will compete with her best friend, secondly also knowing another truth, knowing and guessing.
- and yet true. Lao Bin said with palpable anger.
- I thought, I saw a couple of times how Raya is so interested, but not in him, but in you. She said Sisu to which Lao Bin suddenly bulged her green eyes.
- what did you say. Lao Bin asked hastily, focusing all his attention on the blue dragoness.
- what you heard, she likes you, you helped her so many times.
- Yeah, but I did it because I promised it to her father, and she knows it.
- and how did she react to this knowledge. Sisu asked, now focused on the thoughtful samurai.
- she was furious.
- and that's it!. Sisu shouted with satisfaction, accepting the words of the Samurai because she knew that her friend was not so interested in the visitor from another world, which was a great chance for the future.
- how?, is that it?. Lao Bin asked without taking his eyes off Sisu.
- you know why she was furious, because she believed that this is not the reason for your betrayal against the Empress, that you are doing it for her for other reasons, so it's not so bad, Lao, you must talk to her today, quickly, before it's too late. Sisu said urging Lao to react.
At first, Lao Bin was about to run but stopped before the stairs leading down the tower because in his memory they returned the day when Raya learned something more.
- Lao what are you doing, go quickly.
- you know, Sisu, I don't know if it makes sense, because I once said that what I do not only concerns the oath given to her father. Lao Bin said looking down guiltily.
- and how did she react?. Sisu asked standing next to the Samurai.
- otherwise, I didn't see her angry, since then she wears the hat I gave her, but. I don't know myself, I'm afraid that today we start to drift apart and I don't have the courage anymore, if I were a newcomer I would play it immediately. Lao Bin said, angry only with himself.
- You don't need super powers here because they don't give you an advantage. Said Sisu placing her right paw on the shoulder of the samurai in brown lamellar armor.
- I know, but I don't know how to do it myself, how to talk to her, I don't know. Said Lao Bin now more angry at himself than at the competitor.
As Sisu tried to comfort Lao Bin, no one noticed Lucas hovering from the middle of the conversation, who was glued to the tower and heard the conversation between the dragonlings and the samurai, the conversation about Raya, Lucas shook his head and with his auburn hair looked down and when he saw two clever intriguer smiled broadly.
- since they have problems today I must be a hero again, I know how to solve this problem but this time I will need help. Lucas said as he adjusted his blue shirt and black pants.
- and I know who's going to help me today, it's got to be played simple oh yes, exactly, perfect, Lucas said, rubbing his hands before he raced down through the city.
At the same time, Boun in his green tunic was walking through the city and the newly erected buildings, looking at the rebuilt houses with the eyes of a businessman, wondering how much he could earn if he had the powers of a man.
- if I had his skills I would earn a fortune, when all this is over I have to present him my commercial offer. Said Boun, dreaming of big money, but his friend in a yellow jumpsuit walking by quickly cooled the plans of a young businessman with money in his eyes.
- Boun come on, I doubt Lucas would go for it, he's too noble and crazy, besides, it's not good to use a friend and a hero. Little Noi said wagging her finger.
- I know, forgive me, sometimes I forget myself, but that's how I see it, I don't know what's happening to me. Boun said.
- as our friend said when he was talking about the empress last day, caramels on steroids sizzled in your head when you saw a chance for indescribable power or wealth. Little Noi said laughing loudly.
- What are these caramels?. Boun asked.
- I don't know, today we can ask here, right now what is it?. Said Little Noi as suddenly she and Boun saw the world speeding around their eyes and finally a quiet place on the city walls and a newcomer standing in front of them staring at the city then at them.
- Lucas. Said Boun full of joy.
- did something happen. Little Noi asked, expecting trouble from the newcomer's thoughtful expression.
- Yes, I have a problem with Lao Bin and your friend. Lucas said, scratching his beard like a professor.
- Wait, or, I think I know what it is. Little Noi said with big eyes.
- exactly, they are so clumsy, Lao Bin probably the most, and he thinks that I am his competitor, I want to help him and I know how, but I am not able to do it alone. Lucas said, and Boun and Little Noi, listening to him, widened their eyes and looked at each other.
- You want us to help you, right?. asked the little schemer.
- we help you!, great hero, just tell us how. Boun said, rubbing his hands together.
- ha, the plan is actually set, since these two lovebirds can't find the courage and courage to talk honestly with each other, they are only brave to shake hands in difficult times, so I'll do something that may seem strange but effective, because only in fire In the face of real danger, shyness is the easiest way to break down, but your help will be needed today, and now listen to my plan. Lucas said as he crouched down to hand over the action plan to the two horny kids.
- listen, today I will make Lao Bin and Raya go to a meeting in front of the galley in the north and behind the furnace in the south, he will send them a message by means of two workers and you will wait like this in hiding, when our friend appears at the agreed place you will fall there in a panic, you will say that in the forests of Gan-Ju, silver legionnaires were sighted and they went there to scout alone, I'm sure both Raya and Lao Bin will run to the forest and they will surely tell you to find me. Lucas said, and Boun and Little Noi, who were listening to him, were smiling more and more, wanting to know the end of this story and the plans of the newcomer from another world.
- and when they cross the river Nolan because for that I have already prepared a galley for them and a boat I will take you to the forest, there you will start screaming and they will do what I expect, what I am sure of, so how are you with me. Lucas asked, stretching out his open hands, Boun and Little Noi, full of joy and smiles, clapped their friend's open hands, agreeing to a crazy and simple plan at the same time.
- OK, I'm with you. Little Noi said.
- Me too, but if they find out the truth, despite the result you're counting on, you know that they'll want to rip your head off after that. Boun said.
- I know, I know, from now on to work. Lucas said as he took the two kids from the top of the city walls with him.
Less than a moment later, as promised by Lucas, it was to happen in the north in front of the galley as he wanted, Lao Bin appeared together with his faithful companion, a seven-meter-long brown-red millipede.
- come on, Krun Win, I don't know what business the workers have to us here, there's no one here. Lalo Bin said, watching the moored galley forming almost a bridge between the other shore, Krun Win grumbled something and everything was suddenly interrupted by Boun running to this place, like an actor, like a master of impersonation Boun was full of terror and fear trembling almost with his whole body.
- Boun what happened or something to the city. Lao Bin asked quickly.
- a tragedy, one of the scouts came back from the Gan-Ju forest, he said something about the legionnaires and what's worse, Raya went to the forest herself because she wanted to prove something, do something, I don't know, but I know that her life is in danger. Boun said, and as expected and sincerely expected, Lao Bin immediately reacted with a panic attack.
- What!, is she crazy, what to do, Boun, run to the city, Lucas needs to be found and I, I'll take care of this personally, run please. Lao Bin shouted and jumped on the back of the millipede ready to go.
Running back to the city, Boun quickly jumped behind one of the buildings and watched as the terrified Samurai set the sail of the galley and after a while landed on the other shore, Boun smugly laughed ominously knowing that what Lucas had planned for them was coming to fruition.
- excellent job, you can always count on. Lucas said.
- when it comes to our friends, you can always count on us. Boun said as he came out of the alley of a newly rebuilt timber building.
- and for that you were priced. Said Lucas for a moment in his memories going back to his own world where friendship was a unique commodity, until some time, until there was a certain break given by another hero from another world.
Meanwhile, behind the blast furnace, another one summoned by the worker also appeared, Raya had just approached the moored boat riding on the back of her trusty brown armadillo Tuk Tuk, Raya also wondered about the reason for the sudden call, especially when she saw a practically empty place and the only moored boat.
- what do they want, after all, there is no one here, well, Tuk Tuk, I think someone is making fun of us, how will I find out who!. Said Raya shaking her head around with a view of the blast furnace, currently extinguished because the workers were collecting new mud bricks for firing until everything was interrupted by the approaching Little Noi, Raya seeing the horror and tears on the face of the little schemer quickly ran to her and knelt on her left knee .
- Noi, what happened, tell me quickly, Silver Legions, yes?, she asked Raya, showing anger and readiness to fight in her last words.
- worse, it's even worse, not only the legions. She said Little Noi wanting to pass on the stitches but Raya quickly interrupted her.
- what's worse, what happened, the fortress and the Empress are heading here?. she asked Raya without losing any of her determination.
- it's not that bad, but it's also bad, one of the scouts came back from the Gan-Ju forests, he claims that the forests are patrolled by many legionnaires and Lao Bin went to the forest with a solitary expedition, a good hour ago, I don't want be skeptical though.
- Lao!. She shouted Raya and without thinking she jumped on the boat together with the Tuk Tuk and, grabbing the oars, began to row quickly like a professional athlete.
- Noi, quickly, run to the city, Lucas needs to know about this, please quickly!. She shouted Raya and Little Noi nodded and she was already pretending to run to the city but when Raya landed on the other side of the Nolan River and ran into the forest thicket Little Noi stopped outside the city and watched the forest with a sincere smile.
- So it worked, but now what?. Little Noi asked.
- now I'm going to take you on a little tour of the sky, and don't be afraid, I'll hold you tight. Said Lucas appearing with unparalleled speed along with Boun.
- wonderful, how I always wanted to see the world with a guru, I always wanted to fly. Little Noi said, offering her hand to the newcomer.
- but then what. Boun asked.
- then when the time is right you start screaming and they think they need help and find each other, from what I can deduce this should solve everything. Lucas said, pleased with his plan.
- So what are we waiting for on the way?. Littel Noi said, and after a while her eyes widened to the limit as her eyes and Boun's eyes saw the world for the first time from the perspective of flying birds.
In the meantime, as Lucas expected, Raya was rushing to Tuk Tuk in pure terror, looking at the thicket of the forest, looking for and calling her friend from the north, Raya was rushing Tuk Tuk and he didn't linger, he ran as hard as he could, running on the litter, jumping over fallen branches until both Tuk Tok stopped in place, and Raya with horror in her eyes looked for traces but nothing, neither human traces nor traces of legionnaires, at some point Raya closed her eyes regretting everything she had not done until everything suddenly pierced when her ears warriors heard a loud shrill male scream.
Hearing the scream, Raya shivered, jumped off the armadillo's back, grabbed her sword and looked north where a strong scream was coming, knowing that what she heard might be the last in her friend's life, and knowing that everything she had done, or rather not done, was to be repaid today. .
- please, I will never be silent again, please Lao be safe and sound, please, Lucas where are you!. cried Raya, running blindly after the source of the scream until her eyes appeared in an empty clearing.
On the other side of the north, riding on a millipede, Lao Bin focused both his eyes and ears on everyone, looking for and listening to the slightest movement and murmur, so far apart from birds chattering over his head and woodpeckers hitting trees, he tells the terrified samurai, nothing else has happened as well as the view of the currently very sleepy forest where foxes and small deer ran alone in the bushes.
Lao Bin clenched his hands furious the most with himself, because he knew perfectly well that he could talk to Raya a long time ago, say everything, he was close to it once, saying that there is something else that motivates him to the goal, now Lao Bon staring at the forest thicket could curse only on yourself.
- stupid, how stupid I am, why was I silent, why didn't I say anything that day, why. Lao Bin said, beating his head until his companion growled loudly, but not at him, but at the sound rumbling from the south.
- what's up, right now. Lao Bin said, listening to the girl's sudden whistle.
- just not that!, Raya!. Lao Bin shouted as he ran through the forest with a katana in his hands.
Lao Bin was so fast that for a few seconds even Krun Win was unable to catch up with him and when Lao Bin fell into a small clearing and saw her there, both Raya and Lao Bin suddenly dropped their weapons from their hands and rushed to each other hugging in a strong hug.
- Raya, I love you. Lao Bin said looking into Raya's eyes and tears flowing down.
- I love you Lao, and please don't ever do that again. Said Raya while kissing Lao and not seeing anything around her anymore, she knows seeing the millipede and the armadillo coming out of the brush, ignoring Boun and Little Noi who were covering each other's eyes and Namaari, Tong and Nitor Hazin appearing from the other side, seeing the disappearance The Raya followed them alone, not expecting what had happened in the Gan-Lu forests and what Lucas had planned.
- but what. Lao Bin asked.
- What made you decide to go here on your own to scout. Said Raya tenderly touching her beloved's face.
- but I didn't go here to scout, who told you such things, it was you who scouted. Lao Bin said, suddenly he and Raya jumped away from each other realizing everything around them.
- what is it going to be. Raya asked looking at everyone.
- Em, this, I'm not bothering you, Tong, Nitor come on unless Szan-Ka-Ran has a case for us. Namaari said while patting the surprised Tong and Nitor Hazin on the back.
- Wait, was it some kind of intrigue, what is it supposed to be?. Lao Bin asked, focusing on Boun and Little Noi.
- yes, it was an intrigue, a great plan to stop groping each other like blind people, like moles in the middle of the day. Little Noi said, drawing everyone's attention to her.
- you!, but why, I mean, I'm not blind here!. Said Raya blushing all over her face and effectively hiding her face under her dick hat.
- Exactly, I don't need help here, I'm brave enough to say what I feel. Lao Bin said blushing hard as well.
- we're seeing, and he's seen it too. Said Boun folding his arms in front of him effectively attracting everyone's attention, even Tuk Tuk and Krun Win.
- what is he. Namaari asked with big eyes.
- I think I'm guessing, Lucas, right. Nitor Hazin asked.
- exactly, our friend saw how you Lao have a big problem, and he decided to help you, and what better not to open eyes like a real threat. Little Noi said proudly.
- what!, so, oh boy, and he's a dodger. Lao Bin said.
- If I catch him, I'll rip his head off. Raya said but all her anger suddenly disappeared as Lao Bin took her hands and they looked into each other's eyes again.
- should we be angry with him, maybe a little but. Lao Bin said.
- maybe yes, maybe no, this. Said Raya kissing her beloved again until Raya and Lao turned serious and turned to everyone.
- but first duties, time to go back to the city because there are no certain things here as long as the light of the Black Empress and the broken nameless blade hangs over everything. Raya said.
- and it was so beautiful. Said Boun but he and everyone knew there was no other alternative at the moment, but what was broken today changed Raya and Lao Bin forever, and the mastermind Lucas Nowak was now floating in the sky seeing everything on a platter.
Lucas using his super eyesight seeing the success of his plan smiled from ear to ear and as he looked to the left of the city his smile suddenly disappeared, Lucas shook his head and slapped his face whispering something to himself, reserved only for his ears and then soared heading southwest into the sky.
L
sometimes to show the truth, what connects two people, to break uncertainty, shame, fears, sometimes you need real fire, threats to break all barriers and show what connects two people, and that's what Lucas did, he helped Raya and Lao Bin in their problem.
