Believer

Chapter Eight

       Garroth watches as Lady Athea mount her horse and rode off with her companions. His heart begs for him to follow while his mind reminded him of his duty to the village.

 "Garroth?" It was Zenix who slowly approaches him.  

"Zenix. How was your patrol?" The younger guard went to stand by his side before answering.

 "Hard. The village is getting a little to big for only 4 guards to handle." He hummed at his apprentice's words.

 "No worries. Lady Athea, Lord Tommy and Lady Drista went to acquire more villagers for Phoenix Drop." 

"How do they plan to achieve that?" He chuckles at the clear disbelief in the other's voice, turning around to the village. 

"Let's believe in them, Zenix. They had done nothing but helps us so far."

         Garroth frowned when he saw Purpled's home. It was... Something. The young man (Purpled is 19 in this story) is expanding his home, it seems. However, it looks like he is in the process of picking a block for some parts of his home. 

"Purpled, why the hell do you want gold- Oh, hi Garroth!"

 It was Fundy who walks toward him with Lani following closely, her hand caked in dyes. 

"Garroth? Wait, how long has he been here?"

        He tried to reply for himself but found himself unable to, causing frustration to bloom in his heart. He had been there ever since he finished his guard duty, to check on the rest of Lady's Athea family/companions. 

 "He looks like he been here for quite some times." The butterfly Hybrid spoke as she dumped several dyes right next to Purpled. 

"I got you the dyes you want. And we also got the gold blocks and emerald blocks." Lani spokes again as Fundy moves to hands him the blocks mention. 

      "Is it me or do Garroth looks upset to you?" Fundy suddenly spokes again, gaining his attention.  

       Garroth looks up from his own feet and froze when he realizes all of them were staring at him. Lani with concern, Fundy with confusion and Purpled with curiosity. 

"...He does looks... Upset, somehow." Lani said, turning to look at the others again.

 "Why would he be upset..." 

 "...Ah... I'm not entirely sure..." Purpled whispers, staring at him, like he was trying to figure out something about the Head Guard.

         Fundy had taken it upon himself to try and created something that will kill a group of mob instantly... Which ends up with him creating a weapon that shots out various type of explosive. Lani and Purpled both stands behind him, worried, while Garroth, Zenix and Brian stands a little far from the trio.

 "This does not feel safe..." Lani whispered and Purpled chuckles. 

"Yeah. I bet you 20 diamonds he ends up exploding himself instead of the mobs."

 "... You're on." And  Garroth swore he almost lost his mind at their exchanges.
