CHAPTER 11 (He & I)

"Oh, this is our plan, sir..." the lil guy suggested.

We can see that the midget and our hero-in-the-making are now facing the still waters, on the banks of that river. When we say still waters, it just looks like that. There were no rocks or stones, just bluish water that gently moves towards the open seas at the north; not raging, you see. When you look over to it, you might mistakenly see it as the ocean deep. Like the image you see when you're in a boat, looking over, in the middle of the sea.

Taler, yet again, looked back suddenly, as if trying to search for someone in the bushes. But afterwards, talked back again,

"... we shall need to cross this river first, pass the Humpy Terrains. And after a day or two, we will be able to see our destination. Oh, you see, the last time I heard of the shadow of the one you are searching for is in the City of Walls. Oh, there, sir, is our heading!"

"Excellent job, my lil friend. If only you have a decent job, that is," He said jokingly.

"Oh, thank you, sir! I'm excellent, right?" Taler smirked.

"O-kay..." rolled He.

He looked over the flowing river.

"Whoa! Seems like a very deep one. We may need to make a big raft. For, of course, we will not forget Ms. Puddle, right, my friend?" says He towards his horse.

"Yes you do, you're so good a' horse, right, you are, huh, my friend," He pets his horse's face with his cheeks, like a mommy fondling her baby.

Taler just looked at him in disgust.

"But, we sure lack some materials to make such a raft. We may need to put my Collector's skill into practice. Or...,"

He suddenly had a good idea, it seems, "... let me just take my rope and then, we'll throw you, my lil friend Taler, across the river, so that you could tie it up there and we could cross." He laughed.

"Oh, was that a joke? Sorry, I should have laughed... ha-ha," sarcastically Taler said.

"Hmf! You have a better idea then, I suppose?" He crossed his arms.

"Oh, certainly, sir!" Taler tried to cross his arms too, but his large pen-like staff just hit him in the head. He laughed and laughed at the slap comic he just saw personally.

Taler just ignored him and said, "Oh, you need not to do all of that, sir! For you see, it is not called Passable River for nothing! Ahihihaha!"

Taler is the one laughing out loud now that made He become curious as to what solution he holds.

After he filled his laugh and was satisfied, Taler suddenly glide towards the still river.

"See?" Taler walks through it, and it looks like he was walking over the waters literally; not falling or getting his big shirt get wet.

He just gaped there at the banks, shocked.

"Oh, you see, you only need to have some lil faith, sir, which I have," Taler said.

This made He come into senses and he tried to walk on the waters too.

Have you experience that time when you do something for the first time? The excitement, a bit scared, but, oh such joy! That's what he felt!

He run and run over the waters while stretching his both hands, like an eagle gliding, and laughing. Enjoying the moment, He run around Taler, like a small child playing in the hall.

After that fun exciting experience, they are at the opposite side of the river. Finally, they passed and crossed the Passable River without any hassle.
