*back to the present*

It had been a full day since the attack, Asta was still in bed resting, he hasn't woken up yet but his vital signs had been getting better which was a relief to liebe who for the past few hours had been panicking about. Thankfully he had gimodelo with him to calm him down

Liebe:what are we ganna do? Asta still hasn't woken up and who knows what's happening to Aaron

Gimodelo:I'm just as worried as you but without Asta there's nothing we can do the best we can do is hope for the best Asta wakes up soon

Liebe:I guess you're right

*with Aaron*

It's been hours that Aaron was separated from his dad and he spent that time working out trying to distract himself from the events of the last 24 hours. Aaron can't stop cursing himself for being unable to help gimodelo, the last thing he saw before he was knocked out was gimodelo being knocked to the floor. For all he knows is that gimodelo is dead

Aaron:I'm sorry mister gimodelo, I'm sorry i couldn't help you [wipes tears and goes back to doing pushups]

What's worse is the words that kor said are still in his head playing are repeat

Aaron:I came this far, dad please don't let what that bastard said be true

*with asta*

Asta was still in his coma but within his mind he was dreaming of the past the day he departed from the clover and the day Nacht Faust died, within his mind he was looking for a good memory of the last 10 years but none of these were memories of happy times instead they were of sorrow and misery

*10 years ago, Asta's pov*

It had been a day now since they departed and they were already miles away from the clover kingdom and he had already began to miss everyone especially noelle

Asta:man I get myself a girlfriend and I can't even enjoy it

Nacht:I do apologize for that but this is important for us to do

Asta:do how know how long before we make landfall?

Nacht:if we're lucky then give it a month or so

Asta:A MONTH!!!! Fuck

Nacht:again I apologize for this

Asta:can't we just fly there?? Shorten the trip

Nacht:yes that would shorten the trip by a few days but with no land near by how would you expect us to rest and how would we carry these supplies for us to live? And what if we encounter a storm? Have you thought of that?

Asta:could've just said no

Asta slumps down on the boat in defeat just accepting this is his life for the next month, during that month Asta and nacht grew a close bond especially cause Asta had reminded him of his brother who he lost years ago. Together on the boat they encountered strange animals and powerful storms but they managed to overcome these obstacles together, after a months of sailing one of nachts demons spots land

Slotos:nacht I see land ahead

Nacht:how far are we?

Slotos:an hour away

Nacht:well Asta our trip is about to end and our mission will begin

Asta:let's finish this quick

once they made landfall they scoutted the area for signs of life or demons, once they knew they were safe for the time being they set up camp for the night and prepared to head further into the forest in the morning
