At the sight, Leo wanted to double over and throw up but he knew he had to help the boy. He picked him up and was immediately surprised at how light the boy was. Leo cradled him in his arms and climbed down the mountain calling for help. The villagers rushed out and immediately came to Leo and the boy's aid. It was obvious how urgent the situation was but Leo still felt uncomfortable with all the pairs of eyes on him. Amia and Silvia took the boy into their house, as they were the doctors of the village. Everyone followed inside, struck with worry and curiosity, leaving Leo to stand alone and mortified.
Meanwhile, he walked over to the wall and sat thinking and pitying the boy. What happened? What caused the little boy to be left in such a miserable state? Leo pondered and that's when it hit him. The boy must have escaped from the Kingdom of Destrove because of the dismal conditions citizens were treated with! He traveled more than twenty miles to escape! That cruel king!
Then Leo felt a rage beneath him boil out. It burned within him as he felt the heat behind his eyes. His fist clenched, digging his nails into his skin and drawing blood. Right away, Leo knew what he had to do. He couldn't let the innocent citizens live like this when he had the power to fix this. If his dream was true and he was meant to bring justice to all, then he would take the chance, even if it meant traveling the distance and taking on the danger.
Without hesitation, Leo climbed up the mountain once again feeling no pain but the burning fury and frustration. He had never felt like this before as Leo had always been more passive and uninvolved towards chaotic situations. Arriving at the top of the mountain, Leo gasped as his sight disappeared and he suddenly had a vision showing him a route. The vision showed the route starting from his location to the bottom of the mountain, leading to a small cottage just outside of the forest border. Then his vision returned and his doubt retreated back to the pit of his stomach. But despite the risk Leo was taking, he smiled to himself, accepting the challenge.
