Creation - The Path of a God

Chapter 3

Guessing by how they were acting, the four of them were probably a family. The woman, who had the leg injury, was likely the mother and the one she was holding was probably the daughter. In front of them, with the swords, were probably the father and son. Considering the number of people they faced, and still being willing to stand up to them make Han feel like these were good people. With how they were looking at him, they probably never seen someone with his level of "healing" magic before. Calling what he did as "healing" is a misnomer, considering he just thought about her being made whole and made into her optimal health. Then he just removed the extra stuff that didn't belong (e.g., dirt, grime, and blood). If he ever wanted to make a living, he could always open a dry-cleaning business. The idea of pretty amusing, so he ended up chuckling. Looking at the family, he noticed that they were looking at him with wariness. "Who wouldn't be concerned about a guy laughing out of nowhere." Han thought to himself.

"Where are my manners. I am Han, and these are my companions," he said, introducing each one to the family. "I apologize, about earlier, I tend to have a flair for the dramatics. Your wife was never in any danger of blood loss." Han said, casually. Thinking to himself, he needed to take this stuff more seriously even if he has this OP ability. The problem is all those mangas and animes he used to read/watch, there the main character makes a dramatic entrance. Who wouldn't want to look dashing and cool in front of strangers?

"My lord, thank you, for saving my wife and family. If there's anything I could do for you, please do not hesitate and ask. I am Tom. This is my wife, Molly; my son, Jake; and my daughter, Samantha." the man, Tom, said to him and introduced his family. His son bowed to him, while the wife and daughter awkwardly curtsied to him.

"Don't think much about it. How could I allow those soldiers target such a lovely looking family." Han waved the thanks away. "By chance, would you happen to know who those soldiers belong to?" It would be a good idea to learn about the regional politics.

"They belong to the Lunar Empire, my lord," Tom informed him. He seemed to calm down a bit, after seeing that Han was a decent person.

"The Lunar Empire?" Han asked.

"They are a vast empire, to the north of our kingdom, my lord" Tom explained to him, looking slightly confused at how this Lord didn't know about such a massive empire.

"Hmmm..." was all Han said, considering this man's words. He could always pull up a map, to see where this empire was if he was curious. Looking over at the overturned wagon, next to the road, Han mentioned, "might I ask where you were heading with those crates?" This could lead to something interesting, which was the whole point of this excursion.

"We are heading to Leaf village, my lord. I am a merchant, so will be taking my wares to the village. I specialize in raw material, used for clothing, weapon, armor, and food. We were traveling with a caravan, but when the empire soldiers attacked us, we were abandoned." The last part he said in a sad voice. Thinking about how the other merchant was willing to sacrifice his family, hurt considering merchants such as them had such tight bonds.

"Looking at your wagon, it looks like it was severely damaged after being overturned. I don't like the idea of leaving you behind, so how about all of you travel with me to the village? I'm sure it would be a lot more comfortable, and more calming, especially for your wife and daughter." Han cheerfully said. He could have fixed, or made a better wagon, but decide this method would be more interesting. It would be fun traveling with people who belong the world. Just remembering how Elis would look amazed by everything made him smile. "Helania, go and store those crates away." He called out to her and proceeded to walk back to the carriage.

Brittany opened up the carriage door for him, to enter, and when he looked back at the family, they were looking at one another and decided to follow him. Entering the cabin, he looked around and willed it to become larger with more sofas, to accommodate the family. He then looked at Brittany and said, "I think it may be time to have something to snack on, maybe a light meal for those people. Have Cindy and Mindy prepare some roast beef, with some vegetables."
