Chapter 26 - Azria: Night during daytime -

A voice sounded loud trough Azria. "I made it!" shouted Larimar. The others looked up. "Congratulations!" said MrBored. Lari walked to Sven. "I beated you!" said Larimar happy. Sven glared to Lari. "It's not cause you made level 90 faster as me that I'm less strong." "Oh, I'm definately stronger as you Sven." said Lari. "What's happening?" asked Neocro. Sam looked over her shoulder. "Oh, welcome back Neocro. How was it with the Mammoths?" Neocro smiled. "It was cool." Lari turned around too. "I'm level 90!" "Congratz, Lari." said Toro. "Now I want to get out of this place." said Lari. "What?" asked Sven. "Where do you want to go then? Azria is amazing!" "I want to stay in Azria. But other monsters." said Lari. "David, tell me where I can go." David looked up to Larimar. "If you really want to go to diffrent monsters then you should head to Ghosts of the forgotten Princes, but I'm not sure if you can handle them yet." "Sounds awesome." said Lari. She ran towards the hill. "Let me put my new armour on and then we can go! Come Sam." Sam looked hesistating to Lari. Neocro shaked her head. "Lari... Don't push Sam that far. Just, stay here for a while till we can go too." Lari turned. "If you don't want that Sam goes alone, then come with us?" Neocro growled. "Can't you have patience for one time?" Lari lifted her shoulders. "I'll wait till tomorow morning."Then she disappeared in the tent. Sam sighted and looked opologizing to Neocro.

That day the others trained hard so they could follow Larimar to the Princes. There was no way to stop her. "Toro, please." said Neocro while she trew her yoyos to an Augu. "If we don't manage to level today, please go with Sam. She can't handle it alone." Toro was playing with his axe. "What about you then?" Foloya shooted an arrow to Toro. Toro sweared and pulled the arrow out of his helmet. "Quit that, Foloya." Foloya laughed. "If you go with Sam, I go too!" said Foloya. "I can't handle one day without annoying you." "Before you entered this group you were fine with meeting me once a week." said Toro angrly. Neocro smiled when Foloya and Toro continued discussing. Smoer walked to Neocro. "You shouldn't worry that much about Sam, Neocro." Neocro sighted. "I don't get why she stays with Lari. She's not even nice to her." "Sam made a promise to Lari." answered Smoer. "Like I made the promise to protect Sam with my life." Smoer trew a magic ball out of her wand. "We all should protect eachother as a group." "Then why is Larimar putting Sam in such situations?" complained Neocro. MrBored slashed his swords into an Augu that tried to attack Neocro from behind. "You two shouldn't forget to make fun. That's where Lari is good in. She doesn't think about safety, only about fun." "And I'll have fun killing her one day." said Sven. The others laughed. The day passed. Only MrBored and Sven didn't manage to reach level 90 that day. Smoer and David decided to stay with them while Lari, Sam, Neocro, Foloya and Toro would head to the Princes. Toro would guid them. David continued his story before they fell asleep.

While David ran trough the forest he tried to remember where to go. He had no Blinkwings with him, neither a way to fly. If he wanted to get out of this place he would have to run. Run, run and run. David shocked when he saw a monster with a big mask in front of it's face. He ran scared to the other direction. He had not even an idea where to run to. Sudden he arrived at a lake. In the lake there were trees. David stopped running and tried to get his breath back. Then he looked to the trees in the lake again. David shocked. The trees... They were moving. He wanted to run back but then he saw the monster with the big mask running towards him. David looked with big eyes around him. Why did he want to come with Laola? He jumped in the lake and swam to the other side, trying to avoid the trees. Then he continued running. His new Magician clothes where wet but he didn't notice. David only wanted to get out of this place. Sudden he ran out of the forest. His eyes got even bigger. Fire... The ground was filled with fire. David put himself down. Why did he came here... He tried to hold his tears. He tried to think to what happened. What did Laola want from him? Why did she need him? He sighted. Sudden he heared voices. He lifted his head. He saw 2 people appearing on board. David put himself on his leggs again and started to scream. "Please, help me!" The boards slowed down and flied to David. David held his breath when he saw who he called. It were 2 knights. One big one in a bloody red armour, with a bloody red sword. The other one looked like his age but his eyes looked strong. "What's wrong?" asked the biggest Knight. "I got lost." said David. "I don't know how I can get back." The younger one looked curiously to David. "How did you get here?" David hesistated. "A... w-woman. She brought me here." The bigger knight smiled to the smaller one. "El, I have to keep going. I think you know where to take him. I'll pick you up later." The smaller knight nodded. "Bye, dad." The Knight in the bloody red armour flied away. The other Knight looked to David. David took a chance to also look carefully to the Knight. He was wearing a yellow armour and he held a big sword in his hands. The Knight put his helmet off and reached his hand to David. "I'm SouleaterEl. Nice to meet you." David shaked the hand of Souleater. "I'm Infinty." Souleater smiled. "David, right?" David looked shocked to the Knight. "How do you know my name?" The Knight laughed. "The woman who brought you here told me alot about you." David shaked his head. "I don't understand..." Souleater smiled. "She'll explain you if you give her a chance. I was on my way to her, I'll help you back to her house." David took a step backwards. "I don't want to go back!" "Fine." said Souleater. He lifted his shoulders. "Then you stay here." He walked away. David looked angry how Souleater walked into the forest. "Wait... Please wait!" He ran after SouleaterEl.

The next morning Lari, Sam, Neocro, Toro and Foloya headed back North, to the bridge where they came into Azria. David, Smoer, Sven and MrBored stooth on the hill and waved untill the others disappeared into the light fog that lied over Azira. Smoer sighted. "It's not a good time for them to travel." MrBored looked to Smoer. "Why isn't it?" "There is a storm coming." said David. "How can you both know such stuff..." sighted Sven. "I wish I had such powers too." David laughed. "Look to the sky, son of the Mayor of Sain city. The sky is dark. Everyone should know that there is a storm coming." Sven blushed and ran off the hill to kill Mutant Augus. "Storm or not, I don't want Lari to think she's stronger as me." MrBored ran after him and joined the training. David grabbed Smoer her hand. He tried to look into her eyes. He sighted. "Smoer... They'll be fine." Smoer looked to the ground and shaked her head. "Lari will not listen to Toro." "You can't know that." said David scolding. Smoer looked hurt to David. "Why can't I... I'm sure that Lari won't listen to Toro." David smiled. "Smoer... I know you're smart but Hambas just can't see the future." Smoer shocked and let go David his hand. "Did you just say I'm a Hamba?" David hesistated. "Well... You got everything Hambas got too." Smoer got angry. "David, I'm not a Hamba. I just know my friends." Then she ran off the hill, her wand in her hands. David felt guilty.

Toro leaded the group carefully to the bridge. The way seemed to be longer as it used to be when they walked from the bridge to the Mutant Augu spawn. "Are you sure you're walking into the right direction, red thing?" "It's not 'red thing'" said Foloya. "It's red peanut!" Toro clanshed his teeth on eachother. "I spend alot time in this land, Larimar. I know where I'm going, I know I'm walking into the right direction." "He's lieing." warned Foloya. Neocro grabbed Toro his hand. Toro sighted and didn't comment on Foloya. Neocro turned her head to Foloya and smiled. "He does actualy look like a red peanut. It's something you can't deny." Lari laughed. Wind blowed around them. Sam looked worried to the sky. "Toro..." Toro turned his head to the sky and stopped walking. "I know, Sam. We should make fast a camp and hide for the coming storm." "Whaaaat?" shouted Lari, sudden angry. "I don't want to hide! I want to kill monsters!" Sam looked shy to the ground. "We should hide, Lari." Lari glared to Sam. "I don't want to hide. If you want, you can hide. But I won't go hide for a storm." Toro shaked his head. "Lari, the storms in Azria are dangerous." "If you think so, Mr Red Peanut, then go hide. But I'll go on." Toro got angry. "I don't THINK so Lari, I KNOW it." Lari laughed. "Sure, Toro." Lari started to walk, passing Toro. "Stay here!" shouted Toro. Lari turned and looked to Toro, then to Sam. "Sam?" Sam nodded and walked after Lari. Then they both disappeared in the fog. Toro made fists from his hands. Neocro looked in front of her. "I have to go after them." She wanted to start running but Toro trew an arm around her. "I... I can't let you go." Neocro looked shocked to Toro. "But Sam..." Toro his eyes looked sad. "The storms... They kill people. I can't let you die." Neocro hero eyes got big. "But Sam is there!" screamed Neocro. Toro looked to Neocro. "That's why I'll go after them, while you put yourself safe in a tent with Foloya."

"Smoer, MrBored, Sven!" shouted David. The 3 heads looked to the top of the hill. "Come hiding, the storm is going to start." The 3 looked to the sky and ran to the hill. Sven and MrBored disappeared fast into the tent. When Smoer passed David, David grabbed her hand. "Smoer... I..." "I'm not a Hamba." said Smoer. David shaked his head. "I know, I'm sorry. I just hoped for it..." "Hoped?" asked Smoer curiously. David nodded. "It's something that'll become clear when I talk more about my past." Smoer nodded. "I'm sorry." said David again. Smoer smiled. "Everyone makes mistakes." A hug made David forget to feel guilty.

Lari tried to look around her, to see if she was going into the right direction. But she couldn't... Everything around her was white, she barely could see Sam, who was standing right beside her. She looked scared. Lari had to swallow. Maybe she was wrong this time. "Lari." said Sam. Lari almost couldn't hear her. The wind blowed her voice away. "Can we go hide now?" Lari swallowed again. "Yes, we should turn back to find Neocro, Toro and Foloya." But... Where was back? Snow flied against her armour. She started to get cold. "Let's walk into that direction, Sam." said Lari, trying to sound sure of herself. Sam nodded once and wrapped her arms around herself. "Why isn't she swearing at me?" tought Lari. "She should be angry at me, angry cause I put her in this danger." She tried to walk. But it went slow. The wind pushed her back, and she couldn't see how far they already walked. Hill after hill, passing trees. The land of Azria seemed to be endless. Lari closed her eyes and realised that if she'd open them or not, it wouldn't make any diffrence. When she opened her eyes, Sam was looking at her. Lari didn't know what to say to her. Sudden Sam smiled. "Lari, I'm happy you're here by my side. I'm sure you'll do the right thing." Lari almost freaked out. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't. Her hands turned into fists. "Whatever will happen, I'll protect you." Then she took Sam her hand. "Let's continue walking, we have to find Toro." Together they fought against the wind, the storm. Sudden they heared a diffrent noise behind them. Lari turned but saw nothing. Now the same noise came from another side. This time they saw a shadow in the fog around them. Sam squeezed in Lari her hand. Lari felt how scared she was. More shadows appeared. They became bigger and the noise got louder.

"It's the sound of elephants." said Sam scared. "Mammoths." murmeled Lari. The storm made them turn around, and let them walk to a Mammoth spawn. Lari let go Sam her hand and grabbed her axe in her two hands. "Buff me." commanded Lari. Frozen from the cold snow around her, Sam started to buff Lari slow. Lari used some of her own skills and glared to the shadows. "Come here, Mammoths. I'll kill you!" One Mammoth came close enough so Lari could hit it, but before her Axe reached the Mammoth. The Mammoth fell down. "What...?" said Lari surprised. "Stay behind me, Lari! Keep Sam close with you." Sam and Lari looked surprised to Toro who was standing near the dead body of the Mammoth. "Toro...?" asked Sam surprised. "Behind me!" said Toro. For once, Lari listened. She grabbed Sam her hand and stooth behind Toro. More Mammoths came closer. Toro tried to keep them away from him. He swinged with his sword. Lari wanted to help him, but she knew she was too weak to handle this kind of monsters. So she stared scared to Toro who tried to kill all the Mammoths who ran angry to them. Toro growled. He knew he wasn't able to handle this huge amount of Mammoths for a long time. While snow still crashed against his armour, he sweated inside of it. He had to keep going, to protect this two young girls. Sudden something crashed into his helmet. For a moment he was scared it was a Mammoth, but when he turned he saw no Mammoth. When he touched his helmet he felt an arrow. "Foloya...?" screamed Toro. "Oops, sorry peanut. I can't see that well in this storm. I guess I missed the right target." Toro swinged his sword around him again. "Foloya, I told you to hide!" screamed Toro. "You ain't helping me with shooting arrows at me." Sudden the Mammoths around him stooth in fire. "I got the right target!" shouted Foloya happy. When Toro looked to the Mammoths he saw that they got attacked by a rain of fire arrows. A huge amount of arrows. "How... How can you shoot that huge amount of arrows?" asked Toro surprised, trying to catch some breath when the Mammoths finaly didn't try to kill him anymore. "Cause Neocro helps me!" said Foloya. "Neocro..." said Toro. Sudden the Mammoths came closer again. Toro swinged again his sword around him, but this time it was easyer. The Mammoths got already hurt bad by the arrows. The fight didn't last long anymore. The Mammoths died.

David walked unsure near Souleater. "Can't you just bring me back to Sain City or something?" Souleater laughed but didn't answer. David looked curiously to Souleater. "That red Knight who was with you..." "My father." said Souleater proud. "Yes... Is he a Hero?" Souleater looked to David. His eyes looked powerful into David his eyes. "My father is a True Hero. One day I'll be one too." David nodded. "Me too, I'm going to be a Hero too." Souleater smiled. "You sure have to learn alot then, young David." David got annoyed. "Like you don't... You don't look that old either." Souleater didn't reply. They walked around the water where David got scared from the 'walking trees' when he ran out of Laola her house. He still didn't felt comfortable when he saw the trees moving. But he noticed no fear in Souleater. "Where did you come from, when you found me?" asked David. "I helped my father killing a Clockworks who appeared in Deathwalderness." "What's a Clockworks?" asked David curiously. Souleater laughed. "Come, I'm sure Laola is waiting on us." He ran to the little house that was hidden near a big tree. David ran unsure after Souleater. When he entered the little house he saw Souleater talking exiting to Laola. Laola just smiled. Then her eyes looked to David. "Welcome back, David." said Laola quiet. David just nodded. He didn't move from his place at the door. Ready for running outside again. While he listened with one ear to Souleater his story, he looked to the fire. He noticed he got pretty cold. His clothes were still wet. "Come sit in front of the fire if you want, David." said Laola. David shocked but accepted Laola her offer with alot pleasure. When he felt the warmth of the fire over his body, he felt pretty comfortable. Almost as comfortable as beeing home. David shocked again, this could never be a home for him! Sudden Souleater and Laola got quiet. David looked behind him. The two were staring at him. David felt uncomfortable again. What did they want from him? Laola sighted. "El... I guess I have to try to talk to David again." Souleater nodded and wanted to walk outside. David jumped on his leggs. "No! Let him stay, please." He was sure he'd feel worse if he was alone with Laola again. Souleater looked to Laola, who nodded, and put himself down in a sofa. David looked relieved

Lari followed quiet Toro, Neocro, Foloya and Sam back to the Mutant Augus. The morningsun was shining over Azria. The storm was gone. When Lari walked into the storm with Sam, trying to reach the bridge to cross the big river that splitted Azria in two parts, she lost track of directions and ran pass the Mutant Augus to a Mammoth spawn. Lari sighted, this adventure of her turned out good but it was close to turning out bad. She putted Sam in a huge danger last night. She decided for herself to think a bit more next time. Smoer and David stooth on the hill when the others arrived in the Mutant Augu valley. MrBored looked surprised. "Already back from the Princes?" "Sort of." said Toro. Sven smiled when he saw Lari. "Hi Lari! I'm also level 90 now. Let's go together to Princes now!" Lari shaked her head. "I prefere staying here for a while." Sven didn't know what he heared. "Lari... The Princes!" "Yes, yes." said Lari, and she started to kill Augus. Sven stared to Lari for a while until Sam gave him her buffs. Happy with the Ringmaster buffs Sven continued his training. Neocro, Toro and Foloya climbed on the hill to Smoer and David who were waiting there. "Why are you already back?" asked Smoer when the tree came on the top. Toro nodded. "The storm..." "Let me guess... Lari didn't listen when you told her to hide for the storm." Toro nodded again. Smoer looked to David. David smiled.
