--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sapnap continued to wear the bee pendant around his neck, never taking it off. Years passed, and sapnap had almost forgotten the whole incident with punz...that was until this morning before work.

Sapnap P.O.V

I went over all of my projects in my head as I walked to work. The sun was just coming over the tops of the houses, but the air was still cool. I turned down the dirt path as I had done many times before, and I could see the door of the shop in the distance.

As I got closer, I could see something hanging on the front door. It was a scrap of torn paper hanging by a long thick nail. It looked like the rest of the paper had been torn off. I looked around thinking it must be nearby somewhere, but I saw nothing. I quickly dismissed it as I walked into the shop. 

As I entered the back of the shop, I was surprised to see punz standing over the workbench. He normally shows up on the early side, but this was too early.

"Uh, hi punz, what are you-" Punz whipped around and cut me off. I thought I had scared him, but what he asked next threw me off.

"Where are you from again?!? I can't remember: catelope or something???? What is it!" he sounded urgent. As he turned to face me, I could see he was holding a piece of paper with a tear that matched the shape of the piece nailed to the door.

"I-Corinth...what are you--" I was interrupted again

"Dude, you can leave!!!" he practically shouted at me

I just looked at him confused: unsure what to say, and tired of being interrupted.

"LOOK, you can leave!!!" He said again, quickly crossing over to me and shoving the paper against my chest. I took the paper and read to myself.

--!ATTENTION!--

This notice is for the settlements and villages belonging to Kingdom Corinth territory. It is with upmost sadness we inform that the King has passed away. In accordance with his will, his queen will no longer remain in power, and a new outside heir is to take his place. Upon taking the throne, any and all decrees made by his late majesty will become null and void by order of the new heir.

The official christening and crowning ceremony is to take place within the fortnight, and all are welcome and encouraged to attend.

"It was that dead guy's decree that forced you to leave right?...This means that--"

"I can go back" I finished punz's sentence. I couldn't believe it: 13 years. For 13 years I have lived here in secret turmoil, banished from my home, but now I can go back...I can go back to karl.

"I CAN LEAVE!!!!" I nearly shouted as I embraced punz, picking him up and spinning him around with excitement. I dropped him down and he stumbled back laughing. I looked at the paper again.

"Okay okay. The ceremony is not for 2 weeks, so I still have time to work and save up for a horse and maybe a cart-- PUNZ THIS IS JUST THE BEST NEWS EVER!! I can finally go home!!!" I looked at him, a big cartoon smile plastered on my face.

"Yeah! I'm so happy for you man...but I guess this means you're...not coming back here, huh?" Punz said with a small smile. I knew he was happy, but sad that I was leaving. I had talked about this day for years, but now that it was here...it was different. I walked over to him, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, who say's I'm not coming back? That place may be my home, but you are my family, and I'm gonna miss you like hell man." I was happy that I would get to see karl again, but punz was my friend too, and he got me though alot.

"Of course you will; I'm a fucking delight." Punz said, cheering up.

"But if you don't get to work, you ain't goin get payed, and if you don get payed then you aint leaving, and I'm gonna be suck with your ass" He added, pushing my shoulder playfully.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say mOoom" I countered as I got my apron and started to work.

(time skip 2 weeks/a fortnight)

Still Sapnap P.O.V

"AYe aye AYE ayyeyeyeyeee dude knock it off, you are gonna kill yooooouurself man." I tried to form a coherent sentence.

"OOOhhHH Come on, Its fiiiine" he said, dropping the tip of the sword he had to the ground.

We had been drinking since work ended: I was drunk but aware while punz couldn't even walk straight. I was leaving early the next morning because the journey back to Corinth was a day's trip, and I wanted to do it without stopping. I had quit my job at the shop today and spent that time packing. I was able to scarp together enough for a horse, so I only packed what I could carry or tie to the saddle. After I was done, I headed over to the shop after hours for one last hurrah, which brings me to now. He took the last beer out of the stash he brought and slammed it on the edge of the table, spending the cap flying and spilling some beer.

"I *hic* wanna raise a toe-TOAST, to my good friend sapnap: your like my brother man and I hope that you *hic* have safe travels back to Corn-rith. Here is to righting the wrongs of the past. TO JUSTICE" he raised his drink up and downed it like it was water.

I chugged what was left of my beer with him and slammed it down on the table.

"Okay, its been fun punz, but I beetter go while I can still walk. I gotta leave early if I want to make in time for the ceenemery" I could tell I was getting drunker by the second, but I was still aware of what was happening.

"ppfffpfpfpfpfpfpfpf PAAAAARty pooper. Okay, so long maaaAAAN" punz started to dance and talk to himself as he continued to drink his beer. I managed to stumble around the bottles on the floor without tripping and started my final walk back to my house.

The house was mostly empty, say for the furniture that I couldn't carry with me. I walked to my room and flopped on my bed. I had packed up everything except for a small blanket my dad gave me. I turned over and started to drift off, but before I did, I look out the window at the crescent moon. I reached up and lightly grabbed the pendant that hung around my neck, and said something that I had not been able to say for a long time.

"Until tomorrow, my friend...goodnight karl"

My eyes fluttered shut, and I quickly lost consciousness

Soon we will be together again
