The Random Strangers

16

Whereas in the capital, Doctor McLee and Lara were helping people get into safety. And then suddenly Lara looked up to the forest and saw people having barbecues there.

"Aw dang, it! Look up there Doc! They're having a feast! After this, we should have one too! In fact with all of the villagers!" said Lara in excitement.

The doctor then sighed and said, "Yeah yeah alright! Now hurry up and help me here carrying these-". Doctor then looked up at those people and saw Gael standing there too and enjoying himself.

"Uh... I am sorry Doc but I guess I see that boy we talked today over there with some... uh random strangers?" said Lara in a doubt.

"Yeah yeah, that's him alright! What the hell is he doing there anyway? And he seems to be enjoying himself. Is he aware of what happened to the village at all?" questioned Doctor McLee.

"No, wait. That's not possible. He always jumps into excitement when he sees battle and everything like that. He surely wouldn't have missed this one. He's always in fact the first person to reach wherever consequences are going on so that he can unleash Achilles..." added Doctor McLee.

"And to be precise, I guess they are his friends! I mean look at them! They're all giggling together, eating together, I think they're fine!" said Lara.

"Well, usually nobody ever talks to Gael. Not being rude or anything, it's just weird he talks to people other than our villagers we have seen. And these people... I have never seen them before" said Doctor McLee.

"Unless were they the people Gael was talking about that saved his life when he was in the forest? And from the look of things, they all look weirdly messy and a bit injured, like that of a battle injury. Did they all fight someone together? Was Gael included too? And on top of that, I've never seen Gael so happy and excited. It's like he's another person over there. And that man standing there, is that Eunara? Ah, now I see. If I recall properly, I heard gunshots from there and also animals roaring. And because of a battle over there, they all look miserable. So if Gael was included, then he would have fought too! So is he planning to..." Doctor McLee thought in his head.

"Lara! We need to pack some things! We're almost done here eh? Let's go now!" ordered Doctor McLee.

"What? We just finished this! Now you want to do the packing? Come on take a break already!" complained Lara.

"Oh well fine! I'll do it! At least help. Okay? Now come on let's go!" said the Doctor as they were done helping people to safety and started to go towards somewhere.
