Chapter 3

As I wake up in my tent, I feel a sense of purpose wash over me. Today is the day we begin our mission to find the stolen storm amulet. With a deep breath, I gather my gear and head out to meet Lloyd at the glade.

Arriving at the designated spot, I find Lloyd already waiting for me, his expression determined. "Hey," he greets me, his voice filled with resolve. "Ready to track down that amulet?"

I nod, matching his determination. "Absolutely. Any leads on where we should start?"

Lloyd shakes his head, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips. "Not much to go on, unfortunately. All I know is that it was stolen from an assistant of Aspheera, the serpentine goddess. But beyond that, its whereabouts are a mystery."

We exchange a glance, silently acknowledging the challenge ahead. "Well, let's start by retracing the assistant's steps," I suggest. "Maybe we'll stumble upon a clue that will lead us to the amulet."

With a nod of agreement, Lloyd sets off, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the stolen artifact. Along the way, we engage in conversation, discussing possible strategies and sharing stories from past missions to keep morale high.

As we navigate through the dense foliage of the island, I can't help but marvel at its natural beauty, even in the midst of our mission. "It's hard to believe that such a tranquil place could be hiding something as powerful as the storm amulet," I remark, breaking the silence.

Lloyd nods in agreement, his gaze focused ahead. "Appearances can be deceiving. We'll need to stay vigilant if we're going to find it before it's too late."

As Lloyd walks along the path through the jungle, I opt to navigate by jumping from tree to tree, enjoying the freedom it offers. However, Lloyd seems content with the ground, steadily making his way forward.

"Impressive moves back there," Lloyd comments, glancing up at me as I swing from branch to branch. "How long have you been honing your skills?"

I shrug nonchalantly, not really wanting to engage in small talk. "I've been at it for a while," I reply vaguely, trying to keep my focus on our surroundings.

Undeterred, Lloyd continues to press, seemingly determined to get to know me better. "You must have some incredible stories from your adventures," he remarks, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

I nod reluctantly, realizing that Lloyd isn't going to give up easily. "Yeah, I guess I've seen my fair share of action," I admit, still keeping my responses brief.

"You know, it's not often I meet someone as skilled and mysterious as you," Lloyd says, flashing me a charming smile. "It's refreshing to have someone like you by my side."

I couldn't help but grin slightly. "I guess that's an compliment, green Ninja."

Lloyd scoffed. "Yeah, but still. I still do not trust you that much."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, the times where I used to be a villian are over.", I remarked. Lloyd answered, "Good to know, but how can I trust you?"

I jump down, landing in front of him. "Who was the one asking for help? You or me? Hm?", I teased. Lloyd gritted his teeth, looking down to the floor.

"Exactly. So I should be the one, questioning if I could trust..", I stopped talking, as I sensed, some creature was near us.

I was right. Behind Lloyd a big dragon kind attacked us, trying to chop Lloyd in two, but I pulled Lloyd away, twisting around.

As I faced the creature, while Lloyd was flabbergasted of me saving him, I attacked the dragon, creating thick vines to tie it up, until it couldn't move anymore.

As I collected all the strength of moving the branches of the tree, the branches placed themselves under the dragon.

As I lower the pressure, the branches yeet the dragon up to the air, throwing it far away.

Lloyd got up and walked up to me. I grunted and fell to the floor, since such a power costs alot of energy and strength.

"Oh my god, Y/N are you alright?", he asked me, a worried tone reflecting in his voice. I coughed heavily.

"Yeah, I am okay.", I sighed, slowly getting up.

Lloyd nodded. "You saved me. I did not expect it. Thank you..", he answered. I grinned. "Isn't that what heros are here for?", I asked him.

I tapped at his shoulder. "Let's get moving.", I suggested.

Lloyd and me continued talking about that attack, making fun of how the creature got thrown away.

Actually, I started to like this boy. Something is special about him, about our relationship.
