Do you have what it takes to venture out and enjoy this world's beauty and luscious lands of Rich's or the terrifying world that lies beneath it?
This question defies the very reason as to why I never got to say goodbye to my family. Part of me wishes to turn back time and redue this all over again, but I can't. I can never do such a thing. Let alone bear the consequences of such actions. As I turn off the lights and close the door. I was met with Atlas looking at me, his eyes questioning me with everything that has happened.
(Atlas) Where have you been retro? Do you know how much I was worried!
(Retro) I was just trying to get back in one piece.
(Retro) I will talk to you some more in the morning alright kid- no Atlas you're not just some kiddo anymore. You've grown a lot over the last year.
(Atlas) Alright, but you better tell me everything otherwise I’ll hit you with a pan again
The night was getting short so we went to our respective beds. When morning rose, Nexus was outside playing in the Snow. Atlas was cooking in the kitchen while I just sat in my bed thinking about all the events that lead up till now. What a grueling year it has been.
First dying and coming to this world and spending the first few nights out in the woods, then meeting atlas. Building this house and making ourselves a farm, being stalked by two different entities that I somehow know their names. Meeting someone from the future and dealing with one unknown person, then being stranded god knows where, now I'm just here.. Becky seems to have gone back to his timeline and now there is a kid that has tremendous power.. I feel as if something bad is going to happen soon.. I eventually got up and walked to the door.**Atlas pov**
(Atlas) Man, I have to be careful using this shadow step relic. It can cause physical damage if I use it too much.
(Atlas) I can't get anything useful from the shop today. I'll try it out tomorrow. It seems Retro is outside on the bench, he’s still spreading out his aura to sense if someone is approaching the cabin. Nexus is already playing with the snow outside I can tell from his shadow which is unique to anything I have seen up till now.
Atlas ponders on what to do with Nexus as he will have to accompany Retro to help him with obtaining the other gems for the night slayer. Considering how many are left and each gem helps Retro get his memories back alongside the sword's abilities.
(Atlas) I’ll have to ask Retro later about that. I'll just focus on the present right now, cooking a good breakfast, maybe eggs benedict or some tamagoyaki. Maybe an omelet over rice I can't decide. hmm which is the most nutrients an omelet over rice will probably have enough nutrients but I'll save that till lunch so let's make some tamagoyaki with some bacon and toast with some orange juice
[Atlas starts cooking as the perspective switches to Retro]
(Retro) This kid is interesting, he has the ability to control the shadows. Fade in and out of this plane. Being able to control such power needs to be trained properly. We can only start slowly for now.
(Retro) Hey Nexus! Let's do a small fight and the winner gets to bury the other in the snow.
(Nexus) Okay, tell me when to start!
“They both get up, retro points too beside the house”
(Retro) Let's go over there so we don't damage anything alright? Nexus.
(Nexus) Sure!
“They both walked over to the side of the house”
(Retro) Stand over there and when this rock hits the floor hit me with everything you got kid. Just to be nice I will go somewhat easy on you alright!
