As we trek through the desert, I say, “I am so sorry I made you guys do this for me.”

  “Don’t worry about it Orb, it wasn’t as bad as you think,” Avram says.

  “And we are almost there.”

  Looking into the distance I see what looks to be the ship, “I guess I didn’t notice because the sandstorm had vanished. If we are this close, the’s run to the finish line.”

  Iancu says, “Why would I do something so childish?”

  Quickly, I say, “The st person to the ship is the dumbest!!” Then sprinted with Suzuka following close behind me.

  Chasing after us Iancu says, “Wait up.”

  Using my ears, I hear that everyone has quickly started to follow all of us.

  -Break-

  When I reach the ship, I jump in victory saying, “I WIN!”

  “Not quite,” I hear from my side.

  Looking to my left I see Elia, and on her shoulder, I see Anto and Mime. “Hey, that’s cheating!”

  “Please show me the rule book then. Because I think it would be sidered cheating to run ahead right after announg the game.”

  L my head, I say, “Sorry.”

  “Excuse me, sir.”

  Turning to my right I see Elliot; Lady Dush’s butler who is pointing down. Looking down, I see Peppa the princess of Skydust, who says, “Thank y-y-y-you sir Orb, for taking all of-f-f-f-f-f us with you. If you hadn’t, we would hav-v-v-v-ve all died in Skydust.”

  As she speaks, she shakes nervously and looks sad like she is about to cry.

  Soon she bows and then runs away, then moments ter I ask, “They found out about Skydust?”

  Avram behind me says, “You were asleep for 6 months, during that time they started to talk aually realized that Skydust was destroyed. I ’t tell you the hassle it was trying to calm them down ahe kids from running away. But Peppa really did help.”

  “Really?”

  Elliot then says, “She had rehearsed that time and time again to show you her siy over all of you guys as. She may be young, but the gift of leadership does lie within her.”

  Smiling, I say, “That’s good to hear, but I do wish I could do more for all of them.”

  Atanta beside me says, “Not really since you have already done enough to help them during their stay.”

  “What do you mean?”

  Taking my hand Atanta pulls me over behind the ship, “HEY, no toug!”

  “Shut up and just follow me.”

  When we reach behind the ship, I see my Tiritrex being pying with the kids. Atanta says, “While you were asleep, I went back out to the desert and brought her here. Just like Willow the 2nd she is rather smart so expining the situation to her was rather easy. She has been here pying with everyone.”

  Seeing me she runs up to me, and iurn, I do the same and give her a big hug. “Oh, how I have missed you Maple the 2nd.”

  “You’ve already named her?”

  “Of course, I have idiot.”

  Iancu walking over to me says, “Now that we have had our reunions it is time for all of us to leave.”

  “But how are we going to transport Maple the 2nd?”

  “I have already thought about that.”

  -Break-

  Standing on the deck of the ship I look up and ask, “Is this really going to work.” On top of the back of the ship, I have frozen Maple the 2nd legs down.

  “It will work fine, when my legacy removes gravity her weight will vanish as well allowing us to fly with no issues, and anyway doesn’t she look cool up on Wave Sweeper.”

  “Wave sweeper?”

  “You think you were the only ohinking up names for their pets.” Rubbing the ship Iancu says, “Ahh my dear wave sweeper how I wish to one day rip you apart and recreate you.”

  From behind us, I hear, “What a freak.”

  Turning around Iancu shouts, “Say something again you dumb fox or I will throw you out of the ship.”

  Walking towards us enraged, Suzuka prepares to hit him, but I stand iweewo of them and say, “If you hit him, we ’t leave.”

  Annoyed Iancu says, “It is not like her punch do anything.”

  “The’s see you take it.”

  Avram appearing out of nowhere hits Ian the head saying, “ you just behave!”

  Laughing Suzuka says, “That’s what you get fool!”

  Avram smacks Suzuka on the head and says, “You o stop pig fights with him, how are you going to make friends that way!”

  Pig up Iancu, Avram walks away, and as they do I look over a Suzuka who is holding her head with a weird grin. “Are you ok Suzuka, did he mess up your head.”

  “No, it is just that it has been a long time sineoried to discipline me like that.”

  “But I make fun of you all the time.”

  “YOU’RE JUST A BULLY!!”

  “WHAAAAAT!!”

  Suddenly the ship alters with Iancu’s legad moments ter Avram shouts, “LIFT OFF!”

  Then the ship takes off into the air and soon all the Zterytavises follow us, then moments ter Maple the 2s out a roar.

  g his hands Avram says, “Now the rest of you go get some rest, because when night falls you will be o go help the people flying Zterytavis. Now sleep.”

  So, all of us here break off and go to rest, but as I walk down the hall I fall to my knee and tears appear in my eyes. I start to hold the parts of my body that where hit with the judgment s.

  It still hurts, every breath I take, and every movement I make hurts my body even more. I feel like I am going to pass out by simply breathing, how the hell I even fight like this? I would even struggle to beat the bandits from Gaia’s sky like this.

  Walking towards my room, I say, “Got to power through it.”

  Suddenly I am picked up, and then I hear, “Looks like my stealth mode won again.”

  Hearing Atanta's voice, I say, “What are you doing?”

  “Did you really think I wouldn’t notice your pain, I am very in sync with people's bodies.”

  “Remember what I said about not liking being touched!!”

  Putting me on her back, she said, “You’ve done a good job hiding this stuff from everybody so let me take you back to your room.”

  “I am fine, so let me down.”

  Turning her head back slightly she looks at me with sombre eyes and says, “Orb please if just for today allow me to help you. I told you you’re like my little brother who I care about quite a bit so even if it is till the sun rises allow me to spoil you.”

  Seeing her face, I lean against her back, and say, “Ok then, but hurry up, there is too much physical tact between us.”

  “I am moving as fast as I , especially with one arm.”

  “I doubt the sed arm was going to be put to much use anyway.”

  “The fact that you only verbally degrade me must mean you truly love me the most.”

  “Just shut up idiot.”

  “Adorable.”

  Annoyed, I say, “Since you said you want to help me, I am going to need you to go cheaple the 2nd don’t let her be lonely.”

  “Roger.”

  “Then after that go give Wadim a pep talk he was looking down. I will also need you to make sure Suzuka and Iancu don’t fight, if they do the ship might crash.”

  “Got it.”

  “Then go cheime, it seems she has been traumatised. When you're doh all of that I need you to go the deck, si is filthy.”

  “That’s too many things!”

  “It is all the things I nning to do.”

  “You psychopath.”

  “I guess you were all talk after all.”

  Kig open the door to my room in Wave Sweeper, she says, “If that’s how you want to py it then fine when you wake up make sure to see how amazing I did.”

  Throwio my bed, she says, “And when I do, I will tell everyone you cried.”

  Landing on my bed, I say, “DO THAT AND I WILL END YOU!!!”

  -Break-

  ti: Terrafide

  Location: Wortanoa Valley

  Stepping off Wave Sweeper, I shout, “WHERE HERE!”

  Tapping me on my shoulder Iancu asks, “Where is here exactly, because I see lots of freaking nothing!!”

  Atanta says, “The pce where Orb and his friends are only be reached through a few entrances, and one of them is here.”

  “Now if I remember correctly the entrance should be here.” Pushing my hand against a rock I slip thought it aer the cave system.

  Popping back out, I say, “It is here.”

  As everyone es towards me, Iancu asks, “What are we going to do about the wonderbeasts and wave sweeper?”

  “The Zetties will stay out here, whilst I bring Maple the 2nd in with us.” Walking forward I say, “And to make sure nothing bothers them. Advent.”

  Activating advent both my body and clothes ge then moments ter, I create a rge ie around the area.

  Suzuka, Mime, and Iancu, run up to me and start asking questions.

  Iancu says, “Orb you look freaking cool.”

  Suzuka says, “So this is the power you used to win in Jedidiah, you look like you would be an amazing fight!”

  Mime, says, “I have a legacy I want to do that as well.”

  Grabbing me from the back Ivana, Ghehe and Wadim start to check my body.

  “His bone and muscle structure has pletely altered, even his clothes have.”

  “What’s this dark blue energy, it feels sort of cold. I ’t be spirit energy because I am uo see that, but it might just be the densed energy his legacy has left.”

  “The sliver in his head is quite a bit more noticeable, and why the hell did his hair grow so much? Is this due to advent or the fact that his regeion factor is greater in this form?”

  Knog everyone away, I turn Advent off and say, “ you guys stop being weird.”

  Bubbing together in a group, they all say, “BOOOOOOO!”

  “Stop being brats, I will answer all your questions -.” Feeling woozy I tip over but am caught by Atanta.

  “You didn’t notice this ba Jedidiah because of how fatigued you were anyways, but advent really does drain you, so now it is time for touchy-touchy again!”

  “CYRUS HELP ME!!”

  Running towards me Cyrus takes me out of Atanta’s arm and puts me on his back. “Thank you, Cyrus, from saving me from that monster.”

  “hatever you n-n-n-n-need call for m-m-m-m-me.”

  Cyrus feels a pick more erratic than usual.

  “HEY ORB, why is it okay for Cyrus to touch you but not me?”

  “Because Cyrus is a like a pe-, I mean a very close friend to me. NOW EVERYO’S GO.”

  As we all walk through the cave, I notice Cyrus staring at me, so I ask, “Is something wrong?”

  Turning his head away he says, “N-N-Nothing.”

  Φ I am not crazy, the silver in Orb’s hair has definitely gotten more apparent. I o try my best to make sure nothing befalls anyone here.

  -Break-

  Φ Seeing a light at the end of the tunnel I say, “We here!”

  Then moments ter we walk through the entrao the main area, which has been pletely ged. It is now heavily decorated and sort of resembles the vilge ba Fimbulwinter.

  Stepping off of Cyrus’s back, I scream, “I HAVE RETURNED.”

  All the people walking around, stop and then I see Aea who stares at me in disbelief, then he says, “ORB HAS RETURNED!”

  Standing still I feel a nostalgic feeling wash over me, as I stare at the faces of everyone in front of me. Aea, Alis, Buloke, Jute, Holly, Hazel, Ewen, Throhen in the distance running towards me, I see Maple.

  Running up to her, I say, “MAPLE YOUR BROTHER IS HOME.”

  Getting close to me, she jumps then hits me with a drop kick, “DIED BASTARD!!!”
