War of Life II

The Three Other Members And Their Situations

Tiing after walking for around 10 minutes found his way out of the marketplace and he found himself standing in front of a river.

"Jeez, that marketplace is a mess. Crowds are not my thing I guess," Tiing talked to himself looking at the sky,

As Tiing was standing there, an old woman appeared out of nowhere...

"Hey, Chester boy...Are you listening to me? I'm here and I made you your favourite meal today. The crab dumplings that you love so much..." The lady said as she cracked a smile.

"Is this oldie out of her mind? Who is she even talking to? There's no one here other than myself and her," Tiing thought in confusion,

"Here you go, Chester!" The old woman gently placed the bowl of dumplings into the flowing river and the bowl of dumplings went floating in the river...

Tiing had a late realization but he understood what was happening.

"Did she lose someone? Chester? Never heard of him...But I'm sorry for her. She just speaks to the river in this boy's memory I guess," Tiing thought.

"Well, good luck to your Chester boy, lady!" Tiing thought and took a step back and jumped really far to the other end of the river, but he landed on the very edge of it. Until he lost his footing and fell into the river. Tiing got out of the river and stepped on the ground, without falling this time.

"What the hell, man! I just wanted to jump because I thought it'd be a cool way to leave and now I'm all wet thanks to this stupid river," Tiing said in anger but with the winds constantly blowing, Tiing wasn't feeling so happy as his body was shivering from the cold.

"If I catch a cold now, I'll destroy that stupid river!" Tiing was quite angry,

Tiing walked a lot and finally got somewhere.

"Old Town of Skydrift!" A sign with the name of the town stood before Tiing. 

"Guess I'll be taking a little trip here. It's better than that busy marketplace and far better than that stupid river anyway!" Tiing walked into the town and kept walking.

Koura's POV

Koura was walking around and he heard some soldiers talking about something. He didn't know what they were exactly talking about, however, one of them took his attention when he took Ares's name.

"I'll be leaving now!" One of the soldiers said as the rest were sitting around a bonfire,

"Oh, where are you going, Bril?" One of the other soldiers asked,

"Did you forget? I have a shift and I need to look after Ares's house! There's no telling with the elections on our head when a psychopath with a political view opposing Ares could attack him! That's why I gotta keep watch!" This sentence took Koura's attention,

"Guess I know where I'll be going!" Koura sneakily followed the soldier,

All of a sudden, the grass behind the soldier made a strange sound...

"Who's there?!" The soldier turned around vigilantly pointing his spear forward, but he found no one or thing there. 

"Must be some wild animal. What else-" The soldier was saying as he was turning his head and he was stuck mid-sentence. But what stopped him wasn't something so scary that it left him speechless, it was merely Koura!

"Fatigue!" Koura whispered staring right into the soldier's eyes with the moonlight falling onto the two. The soldier fell unconscious and Koura dressed as the soldier before he left.

"Soldier, which way does Ares live?" Koura spoke to the unconscious soldier,

"Walk straight from here and close to the Mountain of Typhon you'll find his house!" The unconscious soldier spoke.

"Thank you for your assistance! Rest easy!" Koura spoke as he began walking straight.  

Reachlie's POV

"I literally don't even know where the hell I'm going anymore," Reachlie thought to herself before she came across a sign saying the name of the town she'd arrived at.

"Town of Airwheel! Well, that's one lame-sounding name." Reachlie criticized,

Reachlie walked straight into the town without a care in the wide world. She walked and walked for more than 20 minutes or so before she found herself staring at something fascinating. This place Reachlie had arrived at was outside of the Town of Airwheel!

"Now this is what I call interesting! A castle hovering above the ground!" Reachlie was utterly entranced as she was standing before the Floating Castle of the Land of Winds. But before she saw it coming, Reachlie was surrounded by soldiers on her left and her right. 

"Hey, hands up! What business do you have here at nighttime?" One of the soldiers yelled with his spear pointed towards Reachlie.

"Oh, don't mind me I was just taking a look at this thing, it's so cool!!" Reachlie didn't even listen to the soldier who told her to raise her hands up. The soldier who yelled at Reachlie earlier signalled his men to attack Reachlie. 

"Darn it, you're pretty nosy! I was just admiring the wonderful castle," Reachlie used her glue style and began secreting glue from her body...The glue flowed under the feet of the soldiers and Reachlie covered the soldiers in glue. Then she quickly joined all of them into a ball. The glue dried easily because of the wind and Reachlie had another wonderful thing to herself! 

"A ball of soldiers! What a sight to behold!" Reachlie praised the ball of soldiers. The soldiers with their heads out of the ball were yelling at Reachlie to free them.

"Don't worry, little buddies, you'll just be fine in there! My glue doesn't kill unless I intend to." Reachlie said and began walking towards the castle.

"Now how fun would it be to see this castle from the inside?" Reachlie thought with a mischievous grin,

"This will be fun!" Reachlie thought.
