After they were done crying, they each grabbed a flower and laid them on spec. "What are you guy's going to do now?" The man said as they walked out of the cave.
"...I have no clue." Luke looked up to the blue raining sky. The rest of the group didn't know either.
"...A man once told me that when you don't know what to do, move forward threw pain and suffering. Even if you have to take 1,000,000 steps backward just to take 1,000,001 steps forward. And if you don't know how to take that first step, Fall to the ground and crawl until you can run! But you have to move." The determination was the only thing that kept this man going.
"I think I get it. But..." Luke didn't even know where to start.
"You guys could come with me. I and my crewmates would love to have you!" The man said giving them a smile.
"You don't seem like a bad guy, but this seems kinda sketchy." Luke couldn't figure this guy out.
"Understandable. But if I wanted to do something, wouldn't I have done it when you guys were crying?" The man made a good point.
"I guess. How do you guys feel about this?" Luke asked the group.
"We could see, If something goes bad we'll just use you as a shield." Stagnum was trying to go back to his joking ways.
The rest of the group agreed and with that, they headed to the dock where they saw the mans ship. They didn't live far from the ocean, but this was the first time they had seen a ship like this up close.
"Wow, it's so big!" Ashly said as the whole group stood there amazed by the ship.
"I'll get the crew out here for you to meet them-" The man was cut off by Luke.
"I already made my choice." Luke crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
"Wait, how we just got here," Musabi said.
"So what is it?" Stagnum for some reason already knew the answer but still asked.
"I think this is our first step to building our school." Luke smiled.
"So you guys are coming that's great! I should introduce myself. My name is Tommy nice to meet you and welcome to my ship." Tommy looked truly happy.
Back to the present day.
"So we left the slums behind for the time and set out on our goal to build a school there one day." And with that Musabi ended the story. Everybody in the lounge was gathered around the table listening to the story.
"Wait so what happened to Luke's mom." One of the works said raising her hand in the crowd.
"We have no clue we'll just have to see when we return there one day," Luke said leaning back.
one buff guy was wiping a tear away some females were crying.
"That guy Tommy is a great guy but I know when he rescued you guys he was suffering. When the day comes when I explain my story you'll understand. But for right now let's get a room and pass out." The king said stretching. His word left with them cariosity. But they didn't comment on it. They stood up from their table and walked through the group of people and said goodbye to everyone who was listening and walked out.
"Sooo, there are some noisy people in this town." The king said.
"I wasn't going to say anything but yeah," Musabi responded.
"I guess we are just that interesting," Stagnum said with a cocky smile.
They finally found a room...with only two beds.
"So how are we going to decide who gets what bed?" Stagnum said as the atmosphere of the room got more intense.
"All the boys sleep one bed and the girls sleep on one bed," Luke said but who was going to sleep in the middle on the boy's bed.
"I'll just sleep on the floor because somebody's tip touches me we fighting. But in return in get the pillows." The king said. Everybody agreed to that and gave him the pillows.
They all got in bed.
"What the hell are you doing," Luke said looking behind him at Stagnum.
"What do you mean?" Stagnum asked.
"It's supposed to be butt to butt, not penis to butt, turn around you weirdo!" Luke felt like he was 3 seconds away from ending up in a situation that requires you to drop the soap.
"Geez, dude ok calm down." Stagnum turned around and then they fell asleep.
In the morning, the birds chirped and the sun shined on this relaxing morning.
"Hmm, what is that?" Luke felt something wrapped around his waist then it move lower.
"Wait a minute me and Stagnum are the only ones in this bed..." Then a hand went inside his shorts.
"YOU CAN'T HAVE MY BOOTY!!" Luke panicked and jumped out of bed.
"WHOS BOOTY!?" Stagnum jump out of bed after hearing that he ain't know what was going on but wasn't anybody going to touch his butt.
"Don't play dumb you baster, you were just feeling me up!" Luke was getting ready to fight.
"Like hell I was!" Stagnum was getting to ready to fight as well.
The covers started to move on their bed, then Ashly came from under the covers.
"You guys, stop it was me," Ashly said smiling.
"I was just giving you a little something special before everybody woke up so you could have a good start to your day," Ashly said grabbed his hands.
"That a good woman right there, definitely a keeper." The king said, surprising them.
"Hey Luke you were worried about Stagnum but the fact that you have a boner right now, and you thought it was Stagnum is a bit weird." The king pointed out.
"N-no that was not from him! Its because it's morning!" Luke was desperately trying to defend himself.
"Naw man the fact it's still there even though you were just looking me in the eyes..." Stagnum looked at him like a lower human.
"It's ok if you're into men, as long as you keep me as your main," Ashly said jumping and hugging him.
"I'm not gay!" Luke yelled.
"Da fuck is going on..." Musabi said waking up looking at everybody.
"N-nothing," Luke said, then suddenly a knock came on their door.
"I got it," The king got up and open the door.
It was one of the workers of the inn.
"Yeah."
"There are people here for you, one is a red heir girl, one has a giant bell and-" The king cut her off.
"Shit can't tell them we left because you came to check and see if we were here. Umm...Oh, I got it can you go down there and tell them this." The king got in her ear and whispered.
"O-ok!" The worker looked a little nervous.
The worker went back downstairs and went behind the counter.
"He has a message for you guys." The worker said getting their attention.
"H-he said that the red hair girl wears bunny panties...but he's into it." The worker spoke nervously through her sentence.
"That was VERY useful info!" Odwin said with a big perverted smile.
"S-shut up! I'm going to kill that baster!" Scarlet rush up the stairs and took a lucky guess and busted into their room. And saw Stagnum jumping out the window.
"GUYS THEY'RE OUTSIDE!" Scarlet said hopping out the window.
The soulless group ran outside and seen the King's group on their horses.
"Shit they're getting away!" They all got on their horses.
"Oh crap, they're after us!" Luke said looking back at them.
"Why won't they just piss off!" Musabi and everybody began to speed up.
"Everybody I'll stop them for a little, I'll catch up to you!" The king said then jump off his horse and rolled.
"Man, what the hell, how high is our bounty anyway?" The king said to himself dusting off.
The soulless stop in front of The King and hopped off the horses. They stayed at least 10 feet apart.
Even though the King stood by himself he stared every single one of them down with a bored look on his face.
"You guys are S ranks, I know you're rich. So either my bounty is out normally high or you want something. So speak." When the King spoke the space around them started to bend. The king had to hold back his power to make it stop.
"I am here not for money but to see who you are." Orion stepped forward with such a deep voice.
"So who I am...why do you wonder." The king still looked bored.
"Because you're not normal. When I look at you I see no color, I see no power but there is something shinning. Something like a god." Orion said stepping forward. Desperate to find out what was shining without color.
"So you're from the clan of Eyes of Truth. The thing is I do have colors, You just can't see them." The king explained cracking his neck.
"What!? Then how do I see your color?" Orion said with a lot going to through his mind. But whenever The king spoke it made him feel transparent.
"It's simple...be stronger. At your level, you would never see my color." The king's word shocked the group.
"Ha! You should have seen the look on your faces! Why the hell would I ever tell you! Haha!" The king laughs in their faces and plays it off as a joke but Orion was feeling like he was about to collapse, He had to snap himself back. When he did The King was right in front of him looking him directly in his eyes.
"Does it scares you, Having unknown stand right in front of you...It shouldn't but it does, have you ever wonder why we fear the unknown? It's because it makes you feel powerless in one way or the other. What makes me strong is not fearing the unknown, I'm being happy about it." The King had his hand on Orion's heart without him noticing.
"Hey, get away from Orion!" Scarlet said pulling out her spear. The rest of the group got ready to fight as well.
"Will you train me!" Orion took a knee and begged.
"...So you decided to face your fear." The king said as the whole group went speechless and wonder what was happening.
"I'll train you. Your first part of the training is to tag me." The king said then punched Orion in the face sending him back a few feet but also knocking the information of where he was going into with that punch. When they all turned and looked Orion making sure he was ok, the king disappeared when they looked back.
The king was already running beside his group.
"I'm back." The king said running and jumping on his horse.
"What happened?" Luke asked.
"Long story short those guys are going to be following us for a while on the fact that I told them where we were going. And before you go all bitch mode I got my reasons, so trust me." The king's last comment stops Luke from exploding.
"Fine, I'll let this slide this time." Luke kinda acted like an older brother.
"Oh by the way I snatch these off them." The king tossed everybody a ring.
"Put it on. It gives your horse almost infinite stamina." The king said.
"Dang, How'd you snatch these! I know you're strong, but those people back there seemed incredibly powerful." Musabi said slipping on the ring.
"I'm just built differently." The king said shrugging his shoulder with a cocky smile.
"On a more serious note, this ride is going to take a while so everybody strap in." The king said as they ran on and on.
Nothing much happened after that they just road to their destination, sorry to disappoint. Don't you guys think it weird how the king no matter who he runs into they always know how to fight? Yeah me neither. My bad for touching the 4th wall back to the story.
They arrived at the T.O.H entrance.
"We're here." The king said hopping off the horses.
"What do mean I don't see anything," Luke said rubbing his hands together. The desert had become cold as the night hit.
They stood there with nothing in sight but mountains of the desert sand.
"It's here. I just got to put some of my Iracuj into the ground and the entrance should appear before us." Just as the King said he focused his Iracuj into the ground and a stone door came out of the ground.
"Woah!"
"Stagnum don't you touch that god dang door," Luke said slapping his hand away from the door.
"Ooow, I wasn't even going to touch it." Stagnum was lying.
"Alright, guys this is your first tomb. Stay on guard or else you'll die," The king said opening the door and revealing a weird portal.
They all nodded, Then they walked inside.
See you next time space cowboy...
