POWER: A Tale of Greatness

CHAPTER 2

The following day, at the Saloon, at the edge of the town proper of Tora Tora village...

"That was horribly brutal! How can somebody do such a horrible thing to another human?" A man sitting on the stool by the counter, pointing his finger at the words printed above the newspaper.

The other man stood up from his stool and peered over, "Yeah, I've read about that earlier. I can't believe that of all the places that could potentially occur such brutality here in our city, it randomly occurred here, in our province, in our town. Why and what for?"

"Do you think, this is a similar incident to what happened to the Armstrongs, Bulls' parents, remember?"

"Oh, right, that poor kid. I remember."

"Extraordinary occurrences happen for a purpose." A man wearing a white long-sleeve shirt above a dark maroon vest and a black necktie, paired with long, black pants, obviously the bartender, who was silently listening while wiping the glasses turned and faced them.

"What's wrong with you, Junnie? You know something?" The man standing behind the other asked.

"None, I have no comment."

"Toss me my fave mix, then." The one sitting tossing Junnie a large coin, fifty titanian pennies to be exact.

"Blended?" The bartender asked.

"Sure it is."

"On its way." Junnie turned around and faced the bar, the area where bottles are placed.

"That brat must be informed, in the name of my conscience."

The day after they sold his goods, Bulls woke up early for the monthly Town Hall meeting. While he was preparing on the balcony, a familiar voice called him.

"Hey, Bully, hurry up! We're gonna be late for the Town Hall meeting!" A tall man wearing a brown leather jacket over a white shirt, paired with light blue jeans and a white Stetson, a hat worn by cowboys, appeared out of nowhere, his friend.

Bulls got dumbstruck, almost jumped out from where he was standing. He forgot about the most important person he should never forget, his best friend.

"Hey, you look like you saw a ghost or something." Rocky teasingly said, clapping his hands while laughing.

"I'm cooked, I forgot about this person."

"Rocks, you came... too early!" He said as he looked around for Thor. "I thought you were the one who's always late, huh?" He mumbled.

"What's wrong? Do we have a problem with that? I just want to change, Bully, and so that he girls in town could see me, y'know." Rocky chuckled as he almost daydreamed.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised." He shook his head.

Bulls began to sweat bullets, hands are shaking and cannot think of any excuse. Rocky was about to say something, but the wooden plank of the balcony suddenly creaked.
