I opened my eyes and found myself in the cottage...
Gara was the first thing that came to my mind, I have to go back to him.
I don't know how I died or what happened, everything I know is that Gara is in danger...
Without having any weapon, I ran with all my strength to get back and when I arrived I saw the ground was radiating with blood that formed a dashed straight line, which meant that Gara have made this trace for me to follow. Did Gara really beat him? Why didn't I received any points?
Fear and panic became greater. I followed the trace and took some gear; once again, it wasn't in a good shape but that was better than nothing. While I was walking, I saw another cottage...
When I came in, I found Gara waiting for me...
"You are late..." he said it with a sad and doubtful face...
"Once again I thought that you have vanished" I didn't explain anything
I asked him "then why I came to you so quickly? How did you went all this distant all alone without waiting for me..."
"I have waited you and I have defeated three monsters from the same kind... I have waited you for a full hour..."
An hour... how it was an hour and I was so hurry in my way back. I pointed to the sweat and exhaustion "don't you see that I came to the same place with all the strength I have and I didn't find you"
Perhaps what he said was right, it is impossible that death here goes without punishment.
"Any way...you should rest so we can proceed. In fact, I don't know what is happening here, all we have to do is to believe what we see even if it isn't convincing or real".
"You are really...enjoying in here" maybe he has entered the gate for this.
He wasn't wrong, boredom was killing us in the woods. We do the same process and repeat it forever. We can't make any further progress out of fear for the current generation and the future, they haven't lived the period of poverty and toil that we made somehow.
"Don't get angry if I told you that I am really enjoying here. I know what you are thinking about and I know your feelings and that you want to get back... and you must know that I really want to be done with here and go back to make sure that I'm not dreaming or delusional" he said that with sarcastic unserious tone.
Gara never show this personality in front of people but he always know what I am thinking about and do everything right. Actually, he is better than me at everything except in controlling his emotions.
I know that till now I have died twice, and this is a strong evidence about that.
"Indeed, we should go back. I am furious because we entered the gate unprepared, if I had to choose, I will choose to enter it prepared"
"George, I don't regret the bad luck that brought us in here. Think about it. When we get out of here, we will have new power and knowledge and we could prove ourselves to the outer world that we live so miserably and serve a city ungrateful to what we do because of it" Gara's angry feelings against the city started to show up.
I know that he hates them because they don't appreciate what we do, and they collapse for the silliest reasons just like when we lost three adventurers in the woods. All they repeated was if we are going to the poverty period...they didn't respect the dead.
This incident made Gara hates the city and not dealing with them.
Everything that Gara does is for me as a friend.
