After hearing the story that Asriel told her, Hinata looked like she didn't care at all of the story, after all it was just some story that her Mission Partner told her, but inside, there's a small part of her that's telling her mind that this story might be true
"So, why did they have a war?" Hinata asked
"The reason is unknown" Asriel responded
"Well, that's enough fairytales for tonight. Get some rest, we still have a looooong way to go" Hinata told Asriel as she laid down on a log, putting her Moonlight Rapier in the side
Asriel simply nodded and laid down on the grass, using the log as a pillow. As they both drifted off to sleep
After that night, Hinata and Asriel went on to journey farther towards the Ruins. Asriel and Hinata continued to talk about different things, their interests, some of their thoughts, magic, stuff that they'd get along in. Another thing they talked about is why they need to go there by foot, which was eventually answered by Hinata that got told by Luminous to keep an eye out for a Phoenix while going to the Ruins. They kept on their trail, as they continued to develop a friendship, while also taking down those that provoked them. And with that, the first week of their travel has passed
Week 2 is here
As Hinata and Asriel went on with their journey, it felt silent, a little too silent for Asriel, so he decided to bring up a question
"Do you have a dream?" Asriel asked
"A Dream? Hmm... well, I guess you could say I just want to live a normal life, while of course keeping it spicy" Hinata answered
"How about you? Do you have a dream?" Hinata asked Asriel the same question
"Yes, I do"
"The dream I have is to build a world where Humans and Monsters can live happily, no one killing the other" Asriel answered
"You know that's near impossible, right? The Western Holy Church views Monsters as an enemy of God" Hinata broke to Asriel
"I know, but there's nothing wrong with dreaming right?" Asriel asked Hinata
"That's true" Hinata replied
"I just hope that the Church would be open minded to the ideas of good monsters. After all, it is a bit of prejudice to think all Monsters are the same" Asriel said
"If I were to be honest, I hope of that as well. Seeing as how my Master, trusted everything to a Monster, a Slime nonetheless" Hinata replied
They concluded their conversation at that, but the tale of their journey to the ruins wouldn't end there
