No one’s pov

 

Stunned and petrified by Vale's fall were Harley and Harith watching in fear as the spear disappeared. They quickly approached the wind tamer and inspected the affected area. They both sighed because Vale's eye was in perfect condition, or so they thought, because there was too much blood for nothing to have happened to him. After several minutes Vale opens his eyes and sits down. He could only watch Harith, who was kneeling to his left. He asked about Harley and his condition, to which the two adventurers looked at each other and Harley put his hand on Vale's shoulder. Surprised by the touch, Vale looks to his right and can finally see Harley. Vale had lost his vision in his right eye due to damaged nerves.

They decided to hide near the desert until Vale recover. Harley put one hand on his own chest and his other hand on the right side of Vale's face. The light it emitted was one of healing, one that he already knew how to control much more. When the process was over, Vale couldn't be satisfied because his vision didn't return, his face was healed, but his nerves were already damaged, and Harley couldn't do anything about it. However, Harith approached both of them and mentioned that perhaps they were being watched. From the spear's aura it was evident that it belonged to people with negative and evil auras. Perhaps people from the abyss itself. At that time, Harley and Harith remembered encounters with those kinds of characters: Helcurt, Karina, Selena ... maybe other characters that didn't even emit negative auras.

Harley decided to take out the sacred parchment again to see what alternate routes they could take to get to the Fire Temple. Doing one of his riddle and clue tricks the sacred parchment revealed an oasis in the very middle of the desert. Thinking further, Harley began to make calculations about the speed of the spear, along with the lack of wind and the power that came towards them. It didn't take him long to figure out that the person who hurt Vale was most likely near the oasis as well.

Once recovered Vale decides to stand up with determination "No one will stop me from looking for Valir" he said as he clenched his fists and walked out of the hiding place, while Harith and Harley followed him. This time the adventurers were in front of Vale, although Vale did not like the idea that they would get hurt if by chance he was the target of whoever attacked them. Once again in front of the entrance of the desert they were, this time they put into action the plan that Harith had mentioned to them during the walk, they would be close but separated. Better explained, they would be close but with a distance of at least 10 feet between them, plus they would walk in a triangular way changing every 15 minutes until they reached their goal, the oasis.

Inside the desert you could already feel the heat taking over the trio. Vale devoted himself to regularly blowing a little wind towards the younger ones, as they had more mobility and vision than he did. In the same way, Harith and Harley were always aware of their surroundings, but it was already too hot. At the moment one of the adventurers shouts with emotion "people!" as they ran towards them, leaving Vale behind walking.
